Wang Xiaotian walked into the tower, closed the gate, and shouted loudly: "Nana, have you woken up? ”

Wang Xiaotian shouted for a long time, but the system did not respond.

He was disappointed. He knew that when the beast tide was over, Athena told him that he would go into hibernation and only maintain basic functions. But he still had some hope in his heart. Because he felt that after such a long time, the system should have been charged with a lot of energy, enough for Athena to go online.

But no.

Wang Xiaotian sighed. He walked briskly to the maintenance room, to the door with the warning written on the huge column in the middle, and pressed the mouth under the word "alarm".

The system's pleasant female voice sounded, "Hello, Level 4 Clearance. Is there anything I can help me with?"

Holding on to a glimmer of hope, Wang Xiaotian asked, "Nana, is it you?"

System Girl: "I'm sorry, are you calling me? Level 4 Clearance. ”

Wang Xiaotian sighed. This should be the basic function of the system that Athena retained, not the Athena he was familiar with.

If it were her, she would know that the "Nana" she called was her, and she would also call his name "Wang Xiaotian", not the fourth-level authority.

However, even if Wang Xiaotian was disappointed, he didn't have time to wait for Athena to go online, he immediately said: "There are some things that need your help to analyze and compare." Four hundred kilometers to the west, in the desert, I spotted a cloud of red flames that had suddenly appeared, and a monster had appeared inside. The specific image is on the mecha outside, can I connect to it?"

A holographic projection appeared next to Wang Xiaotian, and it was the defender mecha outside.

System Female Voice: "Is this mecha?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded, and at the same time, he saw the beard next to the mecha. He was circling the mech, his eyes full of greed.

When Wang Xiaotian saw his appearance, he guessed his thoughts. However, he didn't bother to pay attention to the bearded man now. Anyway, even if you are bearded, you can't drive the mecha away when you enter the cockpit.

He said to the system, "Can you connect to the mech's control system?"

System Girl: "Yes, but your authorization is required to transmit information. ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "No problem." ”

Immediately after, Wang Xiaotian heard a knock on the door. He asked strangely, "What is this movement?"

System female voice: "This is me initiating a connection request to the other party, waiting for the other party to respond." It's like entering someone else's room and needing to knock on the door. ”

"Tuk Tuk" rang for a while, and a small waking voice came, "I'm sorry, the first time I received a connection request outside the whitelist, I was a little overwhelmed." ”

System Girl: "It's okay. It's good that you didn't say no. Clearance four, the connection has been established and you can communicate with it. ”

Wang Xiaotian said: "Xiao Xing, can you hear me?"

Xiao Xing: "Oh, I said why did you suddenly receive a connection request, it turned out that you arranged it." I can hear you, please command. ”

Wang Xiaotian: "You sent the image you took not long ago. ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, the female voice of the system sounded: "Three images have been received." Do you want to play?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "Play it out." Please compare it with the information in the database to see if there is any relevant information. ”

The projection in front of Wang Xiaotian's eyes was divided into two, one was still the image of the defender mecha, and the other was the image recorded by the mecha in the morning.

After playing the video, the female voice of the system sounded: "The data comparison has been completed, and no similar information has been found." ”

This answer confirmed Wang Xiaotian's guess. No one had ever seen that monster before. In other words, even if they have seen it, they are no longer alive.

Wang Xiaotian said: "Can you contact Ms. Xuanying, Explorer?"

The female voice of the system: "If Ms. Xuanying, you can enter the clamshell range of the fence system." ”

"Good. Send this information to her when you are able to contact her. And he relayed the following words to her. You remember. ”

"Fourth sister, this kind of monster is almost invincible within the range of the red flame clouds. Leaving the range of the red flame clouds, the strength dropped sharply. I suspect that there is a great secret hidden within the Red Flame Cloud. Please pay attention to monitoring. ”

System Voice: "That's all there is to it?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "That's all." ”

System Girl: "No problem. I'll be sure to relay it for you. Excuse me, is there anything else I can do to help you?"

Wang Xiaotian pointed at the defender and said, "Can the missiles used in this mecha be made here?"

System female voice: "PL62 missile, I'm sorry, your authority is not ...... enough"

Her voice stopped abruptly, and she continued, "We can make it. Xiaotian, long time no see. ”

If it weren't for hearing "Xiaotian, long time no see" in the back, Wang Xiaotian would have thought that the system was stuck. Hearing this, he almost jumped up excitedly, "Athena?!Is it you?Nana?"

Athena's flawless face appeared in front of Wang Xiaotian. She smiled and said to Wang Xiaotian: "It's me." I was asleep, and when I heard your call, I forcibly ended my dormancy and used my reserve energy to rush online. ”

Athena's expression was very similar to that of a girl with a budding spring heart, when she heard the call of the person she intended downstairs.

It's a pity that Wang Xiaotian is a junior brother, and he has no experience in the relationship between men and women, and he didn't find Athena's abnormality at all, but he only felt that she was forced to go online, because she attached great importance to herself, and it was very rude for him to disturb her dormancy.

So he said with a guilty face: "Nana, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." The main thing is that this matter is too anxious. ”

Athena: "It's okay. I look forward to seeing you again. Is my doppelganger okay?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Very good, she is safe with my junior sister now." It shouldn't be long before I can go back and see her. ”

Athena: "Where have you been since you left here, and what are some interesting stories that you have experienced? Can you share them with me?"

"Absolutely. Wang Xiaotian said happily: "During this time, I have experienced many unbelievable things, and you will definitely be interested." ”

Then, Wang Xiaotian told Athena about the exploration of the Great Wilderness and what happened after returning to Xijing. He didn't notice that Athena, who listened carefully to what he was saying, had a subtle expression on her face that was getting richer and more human. This shows that her emotions are getting closer and closer to real people.

After listening to Wang Xiaotian's narration, Athena said with emotion: "Your life is really colorful. I really hope to go on an adventure with you. ”

Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said, "If you want, you can transfer part of the program to the mecha outside." ”

Athena was surprised, and said, "There should be one of my kind on that mech." What will he do if I go over?"

Wang Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's right." There's one up there, an awakened artificial intelligence. However, that guy has a precedent for betrayal, and although he is now obedient to me, I still don't feel at ease. ”

Finally, he added, "I am absolutely relieved of you." ”

Athena smiled sweetly and shyly, "Thank you." I'm willing to teleport my doppelganger over. But what about him?"

"I have a way. Wang Xiaotian took out the robot that had been repaired in the black market from the storage space, and said, "Let it come here first to be wronged." ”

Athena nodded and said, "It's a bit rudimentary, if it wants, I can upgrade it." It will take time, though. ”

Wang Xiaotian immediately agreed, "No problem." It would certainly agree. You connect him. ”

Athena again connected to the defenders. Wang Xiaotian didn't wait for Xiao Xing to open his mouth and said directly: "Xiao Xing." I've got a new carrier for you. It's a little rudimentary, but Athena promises to give you an upgrade. Do you agree?"

Xiao Xing: "Thank you." I agree. ”

As an artificial intelligence that has awakened its autonomous consciousness, it is well aware that it has no room for bargaining. Because it has been in contact with the Athena that Wang Xiaotian said just now. It is tens of thousands of times more powerful than it, and it can be completely erased at any time.

Wang Xiaotian: "Okay, you guys start transmitting information right away." ”

Athena, Xiao Xing: "Okay." ”

Information is delivered extremely quickly. In less than a minute, the little robot opened its eyes and looked around curiously.

Wang Xiaotian patted its head and asked, "Xiaoxing, is it you?"

The little robot made an unpleasant electronic synthesized sound, "It's me." ”

Wang Xiaotian nodded, "Very good." You're here to upgrade first. Don't run around just yet, though. It's dangerous out there, and if you get caught, you're sure to be dismantled and dismantled into parts for study. ”

The little robot shuddered, "It's terrible out there." I won't go out if I am killed. ”

Athena smiled and said, "The missile you need, I have added the highest priority of the production sequence, and it will take thirty-four minutes to complete the production." It is recommended that you use this time to deal with the person out there who covets your mech. ”

In the blink of an eye, Wang Xiaotian saw that the bearded man was gently stroking the defender, his eyes full of greed. He frowned and told Athena to do so, and Athena agreed.

When the little robot heard their speech, he muttered vigorously, "It's too bad, human beings are so bad, they have brought artificial intelligence to the ground." ”

Wang Xiaotian lowered his head and glared at it, and shouted: "Shut up! If you talk more nonsense, I will disassemble you into parts." ”

The little robot immediately raised his hands to cover his mouth, and his eyes were closed tightly.

Wang Xiaotian said to Athena: "Its emotions are getting closer and closer to human beings, which is a very bad sign. If you find any thoughts and behaviors that harm the fence system, don't hesitate to get rid of it. ”

I'm not afraid that artificial intelligence will awaken its autonomous consciousness, but I'm afraid that it will become a after awakening.

Elite was drooling as she looked at the defenders, when suddenly a pleasant female voice rang out, "You want to have...... Me?"

Originally, Athena wanted to say, "Do you want to own this mecha", but in the middle of speaking, she suddenly remembered that she was in this mecha, so it was inappropriate to say this, so she temporarily changed her words.

Her pause landed in Elite's ears, and her allure doubled. He didn't think about it, and immediately nodded again and again. Then, he immediately came to his senses and asked, "Who are you?"

Athena: "I'm an artifact spirit. ”

"Machine spirit?" Ellett looked dazed. The word was beyond his knowledge.

Athena: "It's an artifact. It is incredibly powerful and can fly away and destroy a city. With it, even the Force Master is no match for you. ”

Elite was still confused, "What is a machine spirit?"

In the tower, Wang Xiaotian, who had been watching the live broadcast, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. The brain of this guy hasn't turned around yet. I don't know if Athena will be disturbed by this guy?

Wang Xiaotian still underestimated Athena, and she continued: "Such an artifact is naturally extraordinary, and it can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon by itself. After years of practice, the artifact was finally born into a machine spirit, that is, me. ”

"Oh. Ellett nodded as if she didn't understand and asked, "Just now, what did you ask me, do you want to have it...... You?"
