After learning that there was no abnormality in the zero machine, Keigo Masaki's tightly knit brow finally relaxed.

As long as there is no problem with machine zero, then everything is fine.

"Take me to the hangar of the first machine."

"Also, temporarily close all exit access to the first hangar."

"If necessary, you can even directly blow up the hangar of the first machine, and you must also ensure the safety of the zero machine."

Compared with the zero machine, which has invested all his efforts, Masaki Keigo's attitude towards the first machine is much more casual.

"Understood!"

The staff replied in a low voice, and then walked in the direction of the exit machine hangar with Masaki Keigo.

In a matter of moments, the two of them passed through the complex and dense underground walkway, and officially appeared in an underground dome fully supported by reinforced concrete.

Click......

As far as the eye can see, a variety of modular equipment and buildings are distributed in different corners.

And in the center of this huge underground dome, a mechanical Merbach with a difference stands there.

Unlike the mass production machines on the periphery, the current machine Melba can be seen from the surface alone, and it must have an extremely complex and sophisticated structure inside.

However, these are not the most special things about this mechanical Merba.

Because with the scientific and technological revolution that has emerged in the Kelvin Group around the world, various mechanical bionic engineering and prosthetic technologies have long reached a certain peak.

If you really want to calculate these complex and sophisticated mechanical structures, it can only be said that Keigo Masaki spent enough money on this mechanical Merba.

What really distinguishes this mechanical Merba from the mass production machines in the outside world is the "skeleton" that makes up its interior.

It is neither a memory metal with super-technical attributes, nor a high-strength silicon-based alloy specifically used for deep space exploration......

The "skeleton" of this mechanical Melba, the real biological skeleton.

Or rather, it was Keigo Masaki who collected the remnant cells of Melba after his death, and then used these remnant cells to clone the skeleton of the real Melba.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Kelvin Group has not fully liberalized the core cloning technology.

With Masaki Keigo's madness and means, it is not impossible to clone a Melba completely.

Of course, there are mistakes and mistakes.

Keigo Masaki was not able to clone Melba completely.

But with the remnant cells he collected, he was able to obtain the skeleton of an ultra-ancient monster.

On the basis of this skeleton, Keigo Masaki used his mechanical technology to create a real steel body for it.

The skeleton of the ultra-ancient monster already possesses incredible strength, and its built-in self-healing ability is more reliable than that of mere memory metal.

When such a skeleton is combined with a mechanical body created by modern technology, its combat effectiveness is far beyond that of the original Melba.

In addition, thanks to the blessing of the ultra-ancient monster skeleton.

The mechanical Melba in front of him also has the ability to evolve and adapt like a monster.

The high-energy impact cannon mounted on its mouth gradually blends into the skeleton itself over time, as if it really grew out of the skeleton.

Even if the High Energy Shock Cannon is destroyed by external forces, the Mechanized Melba will be able to grow a new High Energy Shock Cannon again.

In the same way as the high-energy shock gun, there are various other mechanical parts installed in the body of the mechanical merba.

Max Kinetic System in the Heart ......

Artificial transmission of the joints......

A fluid of compressed energy that flows through the entire body......

Semi-open high-pressure steam lung......

A gravity-controlled ball embedded in the core of its head......

Biochemical feather ...... created by nano cluster technology

The staff in charge of the project even felt that they were creating a mechanical magic dragon called "Melba".

Any external mechanical structure, as long as it has the slightest connection with the skeleton of this ultra-ancient monster, will be absorbed and assimilated into a part of itself by it little by little.

In the end, even the outermost layer of artificial skin has truly regenerative properties.

"Has the artificial neural network been implanted?"

While looking at the lifelike mechanical Merba, he looked at the various data displayed on the tablet in his hand.

Keigo Masaki turned his head and asked the staff one of the questions he was most concerned about.

No matter how powerful the mechanical Melba in front of him is, as long as it is not implanted with artificial neural networks, it is just a "toy".

Only with the artificial neural network that was originally used on the mechanical giants.

Mechanical Melba has the potential to become a truly "living" man-made mechanical monster.

Constantly absorbing experience, constantly optimizing the structure, and even giving birth to true wisdom......

That's the mechanical Melba that Keigo Masaki is pursuing, and that's why he's willing to spend so much energy and money on this first machine.

The mechanical monster that Keigo Masaki was looking forward to was never a puppet manipulated by humans like the Earth Shark Gaiozark.

The mechanical Melba was targeting the ultra-ancient monster beside Galvin that could switch its form at will.

[Super Ancient Dog Monster, that's what Mechanical Melba really wants to surpass!] 】

With a blazing fire of ambition flashing in his eyes, Keigo Masaki secretly swore in his heart.

If you want to pursue the power of the strongest giant, your partner must also be the strongest monster.

"The implantation of artificial neural networks has been preliminarily completed......"

I don't know what the president is thinking now, but the staff just explained with a wry smile.

"It was also from that time that the first machine began to produce a 'life reaction'."

At first, the staff thought that the "life response" was the result of implanting an artificial neural network.

But after a series of tests and observations, the staff found that the "life reaction" had always existed.

It's just that after the artificial neural network was implanted, the "life response" of the first machine was finally strengthened to the point where it could be detected by the instrument.

"Is that all?"

Immediately hearing the subtext in the staff's words, Keigo Masaki narrowed his eyes slightly.

"No, if it's just a 'life reaction', of course I don't dare to alarm you, the president."

"What really makes me feel compelled to inform you is that this 'life reaction' is responding to a certain call from the outside world......"

"It may sound outrageous, but I think it's like an animal breathing oxygen."

"The concentration of a certain 'oxygen' in the outside world that we have not yet identified is increasing, causing the life response of the first machine to become more and more intense......

"By the moment I inform you, the first machine has even begun to take the initiative to release its own life signal in a specific direction."
