Chapter One Thousand and Ten Down
Four major types of forces operate within Kane.
The first is heat and electricity in natural energy, which is generated by ultra-fine reactors at the cellular level, and this technology has many details borrowed from Rennes's cell shaped reactor technology.
The second category is cosmic particle energy, which has some 'black vortex' open cosmic energy figures.
'Playing in New York' before, Kane still had gains. After all, with his current ability, as long as he wants, flies can fly over and leave a leg. The energy used in the 'Black Vortex' still has a certain reference value.
The third category is dark matter energy. This kind of specificity is actually very detailed, but for the humans of the origin world, it is still a general concept, even a hypothesis.
The fourth category is supernatural power. In fact, it can be understood as a class of energy that is separated from dark energy. The two can be converted, but even Kane's technology in this area can only be said to be a first glimpse.
In any case, with these four types of energy by his side, Kane is basically a human warship, or a fantasy-class starship.
He spent about 50 hours on the surface of the megacity, taking in the scenery and inputting in energy. Then the task of seizing the nano network cloud was officially launched.
His hand pressed against the ceramic-metal earth, and the power began to seep inward. This is a weak point, with a thickness of about 30 meters from the case to the interior.
The osmosis is done by ultra-high-speed nanoworm devouring and proliferating, and its appearance has many similarities with Zhao Wenrui's ghost vine generation.
Soon, a long, tentacle-like conical channel was generated, which was still physical, though it had been completely infected, and was made up of nanoworms that Kane could mobilize at will.
Such a special channel is much more energy-saving than the use of molecular cleavage and sufficient means, and the main thing is that it can play more tricks. For example, planting trees.
Of course, it's not so much a tree as it is a metal device, and even if it's external, it doesn't have much resemblance to the growth of plants, that is, the concept of multiplication, which is a little interesting.
Like flowing water, Kane entered the interior of the megacity through a passage that expanded to 20 cm in diameter, leaving behind a special unit that encased the set of commands.
This special unit is not considered intelligence, but more like instinct, like the information contained in the gene, formulaically regulating the construction process, so that after Kane leaves, the nanoworm is dispatched to build a self-sufficient and self-sufficient life-like device.
So according to Kane's plan, if he came back after a while, the wall would be a supply store, an arsenal, and even an escape pod. It's like a magical pod with compound functions.
The metal druid job is also named after this type of technical means with obvious druid characteristics.
Falling like a drop of water, then returning to its human form in the air, hovering before the contact collides, Kane looking around.
From a human point of view, it looks like a temple of giants, more than grandiose and less delicate. But it is still very cyberpunk, full of unknown large mechanical equipment, as well as electronic instruments, dark, depressing, solemn, and with a unique stale and bleak, not rotten, dirty, rust is not much, but the ubiquitous mottling and aging, also reflects the thickness of the years.
Kane was not as leisurely as he had been on the surface before, and after a brief observation, he found a nearby flyover and jumped straight down.
Strata is an important concept in this megacity, with a height of 3-5 km per floor and a total of more than 6,000 floors.
Kane thought that since it was expanding outward in a casing style around Yingzhou, Yingzhou was mostly in the most central space-like gravity-free zone.
In this case, the practice of first going straight down in free fall can be regarded as a way to quickly approach the Yingzhou.
It would be best if there was a large chasm or shaft passage deep enough like the dark regions of Feren.
However, this idea was quickly shattered, and after just enjoying the thrill of flying for a few seconds, it was over.
Kane exerted his ability, instantly making himself lighter than a goose feather, and the inertia of the fall made him fall a distance rapidly, and when his toes touched the ground, he stopped completely.
The corners of his mouth curled, he enjoyed this kind of precision very much, as for flying, falling or something, he had long been accustomed to it.
He didn't rely on it, but hovered forward, and he didn't know what the specific configuration of the monitoring system here was. But in his mind, it is about vibration, spectrum, and energy, but all the equipment that can be monitored and observed is assembled, and then comprehensive, anyway, the productivity is enough to break and squander.
As an intruder, Kane still prefers to infiltrate stealthily rather than slash down with kitchen knives and lightning all the way.
After a while, Kane realized that it was still inefficient. So it was decided to create a group of assistants who specialized in pathfinding.
He found a corner away from the surveillance tower and released a soft mud-like cultivation substrate, which soon eroded a huge crater.
About an hour later, when he put away the substrate, there was already a miniature factory in the corner that could be called a hive.
This factory is like a real hive, composed of worker bees, soldier bees and queen bees, which can fight, multiply, and most importantly, can respond to his call, cooperate with the teleportation circle, and send soldier bees to him in batches.
These bees don't look like bees at all, but like mines, covered with needle-like tentacles and postural control nozzles that can hover and turn from any angle. They are powered by ultra-miniature reactors.
After another hour to amass three waves of 15,000 soldier bees, Kane released them and asked them to help find their way.
During this period, he also underwent an energy replenishment.
Although he is ingesting matter and energy all the time, and constantly producing energy and storing energy, in terms of efficiency, he is still in the strongest energy absorption mode of fixed expansion.
This accumulation is mainly to deal with possible battles.
As he expected, the monitoring tower here was precise, high-end, and sensitive, and it was discovered by the soldier bees the size of an adult's thumb belly.
'Buzz!' The monitoring eyes on the huge monitoring tower, which are hanging upside down like stone stalactites, turn from blue to red, and immediately, the nearby area, whether it is the ground, or the bridge deck, or the side wall, as long as the size meets the requirements, can become a 'download' site.
The so-called 'download' here refers to the process of molecular-level manufacturing in the environment of the nanonetwork cloud.
Because of the addition of supernatural elements, it is more efficient than the holographic printing technology that Kane mastered.
From the outside, a small energy storm was created with the download point as the core, and in this luminous storm accompanied by frequent lightning and high-speed rotation of air currents, the creation of an adult's physique was generated in only about 3 seconds.
This reminded Kane of the ninja movie he saw an hour later, 'bang!', a dazzling flash of light and a handful of smoke, the smoke half dispersed, and he saw that there were more ninjas in the original clearing.
It's almost the same rhythm and rate, but the one in front of me is not a concealment or appearance technique with the nature of pretending to bluff, but a real equipment manufacturing.
And the creation itself is indeed a humanoid puppet, at first glance it looks like a black polymer material inner armor, supplemented by carapace plate armor, but they seem to be more accustomed to beast-like limbs on the ground, and their joints are also flexible and changeable, without all kinds of discomfort when human limbs land on the ground, but the posture looks weird and not beautiful.
Their faces are white masks with the same texture as the shells of plate armor, with no three-dimensional facial features, only a smiling face composed of one large, two small and three teeth, which may have been designed to be close to the people (to act as a policeman), but under the background of today's environment, there is an indescribable eerie and a bit of mockery.
Anyway, after Kane watched it, he couldn't get a positive feeling at all, which may have something to do with the body language expressed by the strange posture of his humanoid beast.
These puppets, known as the Destroyers, are under the command of the Authority, and behind the Authority is the core of the AI management of the megacity.
Although the expellees appeared in a timely manner, there were enough of them. Kane was secretly relieved.
Obviously, even if the Command has a self-evolving mechanism, it has not been able to improve significantly over the course of 3,000 years.
Otherwise, with the sharpness of the nano network cloud, there is no destroyer at all to deal with the soldier bees, which is simply an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes.
This rigid performance alone means that the Unified Control Bureau is simply not able to effectively play the true power of the nano network cloud, which is good news for him.
While Kane was thinking, the destroyers had already begun to 'repel mosquitoes'.
Their hands and feet, although at first glance similar in shape to those of human hands and feet, are very different in structure.
The claw toes can be split wider, and there are electromagnetic chucks that hang securely on the side or top wall like a shelter.
Perhaps to minimize the structure and functionality for durability, the Destroyer's ranged weapon is not on the claw, nor on the arm, but on the head.
They have Medusa snake-like hair, dreadlocks that look like fluttering dirt at first glance, and a number of shiny hoops that tie them together.
But in reality, they are energy generators, and as the Destroyer shakes his head, an arc of electricity flies out, and then dissolves into a web of arcs of energy like a netter. It is natural for people to think of the use of riot suppression. However, looking at the energy intensity, if ordinary people who have no precautions are trapped, they will be disabled if they don't die.
The soldier bees, who are good at dodging extremely fast, are indeed powerless in the face of saturation strike-style coverage without dead ends, but the intelligence of the soldier bees is comparable to that of dolphins, they know how to use the terrain, and they are also good at peek-a-boo.
So on the whole, the destroyers were still the scene of anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes, and Kane was not even interested in looking at them more, so he followed the best route after the soldiers had summarized the information and went all the way down.
He is invisible from any angle, and the monitoring tower may be able to detect air flow anomalies and some energy spills, but often the time of detection is already in the past, and it is difficult to predict his trajectory.
Naturally, his speed is faster than the soldiers who are looking for his way, so he often moves forward for a while, and then finds a corner, like a druid summoning animal allies, by setting up a temporary teleportation array, allowing the hive to send a wave of soldiers over.
While the soldiers were looking for their way, he took a break and did whatever he could.
For him, this kind of journey is not pleasant, but it is still chic, falling, floating, watching the scenery along the way, and taking a break, such a mode is really not difficult.
I went down about a thousand floors like this, and I didn't find anything special, including the soldier bees who were still tirelessly exploring, and I didn't find any information worth mentioning.
It fits perfectly into the concept of a large-scale functional facility that still has energy and keeps it running at its bare bare level, but has been abandoned for many years.
However, when we went deep into the 1,200th floor or so, various situations followed.
First of all, the Unified Control Bureau launched a large-scale eradication against the soldier bees, and began to deploy a large number of combat forces in each node area.
Kane knew that it was understandable that this was happening. Although the Command still hasn't been able to spot him, every once in a while, the bees appear in deeper layers and explore their surroundings, a phenomenon that can paint a clear picture of the trend of inward invasion from a macro perspective.
And the AI of the Control Bureau, this basic logical thinking is still there, and it realizes that there is an external force and then rapidly advances to the core, so the vigilance is greatly improved, and at the same time the interception operation is launched.
Of course, this is not a big deal for him. He could have given up on the innate invasion mode.
After all, it has gone deeper than a thousand layers, and more and more soldier bees have continued to explore for nearly 10 hours, collecting a lot of information.
This information is enough to summarize some patterns, so that he can discern and deliberate on which path to choose is the quickest. So even if there is no soldier bee to help, it will not be too slow.
Then, next, let the soldiers continue to attract the attention of the Control Bureau, and he sneaks alone, believing that after crossing the high-alert level, he can go deeper with relative ease.
The radius of this megacity is about 9,500 kilometers, and the trip is now halfway through, and if the trick of stealth alone works, even if you force a way out of the last stretch of the road, the success rate is very high.
The second thing that followed was that the bees discovered the lifeform, which seemed to be silicon-based.
From the perspective of human aesthetics, the appearance is a little ugly, but the IQ seems to be okay, and it is deformable and social.
It is not yet possible to tell if this creature is the original inhabitants of this area, but it seems that they have lived here for a short time, have their own territory, and seem to be hostile to the Command Bureau, but they are not strong enough to fight against each other, but mainly hide and hide. Soldier bees have witnessed the process of hunting destroyers in the fishing style of this creature.
They appear to feed on expulsors, thus eliminating the need to extract and synthesize certain silicon-based compounds themselves.
The third thing is that the traces of human beings have finally been discovered, and there are only six of them, and it seems that they are also engaged in food acquisition, and judging by the size of these people, they are either half-grown teenagers who have run out of waves, or people of this era, at least some of them, have degenerated into a petite state again for various reasons.
As far as Kane knows, many ancient Japanese people were such tall and physical, about 150CM tall, and thin and thin.
So the question arises, should we continue the task of acquiring the nanonetwork cloud, or should we continue to teleport to the area where the humans who are already in danger are located, and then continue?
