Judging from the way the other party spoke, it should be a machine, and if nothing else, it is the auxiliary intelligence of the Longmen factory.

The signal sent from inside the factory was very unstable, and in order to facilitate better communication, Gu Fan decided to go into the factory in person to meet the artificial intelligence who called himself 301.

However, when he put forward such an idea, Xue Feng on the side immediately objected.

"It is not yet confirmed whether there is any danger inside the factory, and for your safety, it is recommended that you stay in the hull of the Queen of Glory."

After a general glance at the location of the armory on the screen, Gu Fan stood up silently.

"The shipboard scanner has analyzed the following several times, and there is no reaction of the life form in it, and besides, you and the Iron Guard are with me."

With that, he looked at Xue Feng beside him quite easily, and grabbed the explosive pistol that was placed aside.

"Do you mean you don't have the confidence to keep me safe?"

In response to Gu Fan's question, Xue Feng just made a guarantee with a calm face.

"We'll do everything we can to keep you safe."

Looking at the girl's rather serious expression, Gu Fan just thought it was quite interesting.

"Don't underestimate me, my military training score was A+."

Who would have thought that the moment he heard this, Xuefeng, who was slowly following up, gave a serious analysis.

"Judging by your physical functions and nervous reactions, your combat effectiveness is estimated to be about 1/270,000 of the Iron Guard."

The moment he heard this, Gu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted suddenly.

Broken......

Am I being complained about by artificial intelligence?

......

......

As the two of them landed on the outer deck of the factory in a careful shuttle, the Iron Guard team that was the first to be dropped down had been waiting for a long time.

Equipped with cutting-edge intelligence, these machines are taciturn and absolutely loyal warriors.

Their black-painted terracotta-coated armor makes them look very heavy, and the heavy automatic explosive guns and miniature ion guns mounted on their backs allow them to rain the same amount of fire as a standard squad at the enemy.

To live for war, to die for war, to defend human dignity are the absolute tenets that are engraved into their programs.

At the same time, the factory's exterior sealed doors were slowly opening, revealing the internal air pressure chamber.

"It seems that the owner here welcomes us very much."

Looking at the lively factory in front of him, Gu Fan was in a very good mood.

He wears a suit of light armor, and while the Queen of Glory's armory has a wealth of new armor and weapons, most of them are new models produced during his slumber.

To put it simply, there are few things he can use.

On the side, I only saw that Xue Feng's beautiful burgundy pupils flickered slightly, which was a signal that he was communicating with other devices.

As a fortress-level AI, Yukikaze has been given the talent program of [Commander].

Soon, under her arrangement, those iron guards were divided into two groups, one group was responsible for the in-depth exploration ahead, while the other group was guarded around Gu Fan in the form of a defensive team.

Not long after, when the group officially entered the factory through the air-tight room, a dark yellow crawler engineering robot was already waiting behind the airtight door.

There was an electronic screen in front of the robot's chest, and after seeing Gu Fan, a cute cartoon smiling face was instantly displayed in the center of the screen, and then a reassuring voice came from its speaker.

"Welcome, allow me to lead you to the heart of the factory."

As if beckoning, the other man waved his hydraulic pliers.

Looking at it, Gu Fan raised his own questions.

"You're 301?"

"301 is the management of this factory, my code name is C19, and I will take you to meet it next."

As the words fell, C19 turned its track and slowly drove towards the long corridor on the side, while Gu Fan silently followed behind it.

As he stepped inside, the lights in the hallway lit up instantly, and he knew that the owner of the factory was watching him.

"This is the assembly hall of the factory, and the managers have been keeping the equipment running smoothly in the past."

Through the windows of the passage, you can see a large and wide workshop, countless assembly lines are running, but no specific goods have been processed.

Countless engineering robots like the C19 are running back and forth from factory to factory, not knowing what exactly they are doing.

"At present, the production targets of the factory have been fully completed on July 6, 12728 in the earth calendar, and no one has contacted the factory since then."

At this point in time, roughly speaking, it was about 1,100 years ago, and at that time, I had been sleeping in the hibernation pod for 400 years.

There was no one to communicate with the factory, so could it be that humanity had disappeared since then?

Immediately afterwards, Gu Fan raised his next question.

"What was previously produced here?"

"It is a ship-based hibernation capsule, with a total number of 4,235 million units."

Hearing this, he gradually stopped.

4.2 billion hibernation pods......

For a while, Gu Fan couldn't believe his ears.

"You mean, the hibernation pods have already been delivered, right......"

As he spoke, his voice trembled a little, as if he was aware of the change in mood, and he only saw Xue Feng slowly coming to his side.

"Yes, it's all delivered."

It wasn't until he got C19's reply that the stone hanging in Gu Fan's heart finally fell to the ground.

Humanity has not perished, and at least 4.2 billion of our compatriots have fled this icy grave.

At this moment, a sense of joy, excitement, and peace of mind rose in my heart......

Looking at the little face of Xue Feng on the side, Gu Fan smiled and raised his hand to pinch her soft face.

Behind Yukikaze, two Pluto Bee drones were floating quietly, they were the little pets she had brought out of the Stellar Fortress, and Yukikaze seemed to cherish these two little things.

"Please go this way, the core area is ahead."

After a moment, C19, who was walking in front, turned around again, and the happy cartoon smiling face was still on his chest.

It didn't take long for the team, led by engineering robots, to pass through the heavy factory gates.

In the quiet core area, the first thing that appeared in front of me was an iron giant with only the upper body.

It is piped to the wall and moved against the rails.

After seeing Gu Fan, the giant slowly bent down and looked at the little human with a single eye that shimmered with azure light on his visor.

For a moment, only a dull voice slowly echoed in the core hall.

"Welcome back ......"

"I'm glad to meet you."
