Chapter 120: Ruins (Sorry, this is the yard in the hospital when the tooth was extracted today)
Boom Boom β
With a loud roar, the [Ice Wanderer] finally paused its incessant snow shoveling action.
The huge robotic arm slowly stopped with a rumbling sound, as if the entire planet was shaken.
Heavy snow blocks began to slide down the giant snow shovel, and the sound of falling echoed across the silent ice field, breaking the dead silence around them.
As the snow falls, a huge architectural scene is revealed.
It was a huge metal wall, the remnants of civilization that had been buried by ice and snow for countless years, and at this moment it finally revealed its true face in the eternal cold.
Traces of age are clearly visible on the metal walls, mottled with traces of rust and frost.
The wind was howling in this barren place, and Xia Xiu was standing on the deck of the [Ice Source Rambler], his blonde hair fluttering in the wind, and his golden eyes reflected the cold light on the ice, revealing a warmth that did not belong to this cold world.
And his shoulders are also occupied by the two generals on the left and right.
On his left shoulder, a gray-haired and green-eyed cat curled up gracefully, licking the soles of its feet, looking curiously at the ice below; On his right shoulder, a miniature girl with purple hair and purple eyes sits, small as a keychain, but exuding a presence that cannot be ignored, her purple eyes still glittering almost dreamlike in the cold wind.
"This is the ...... of the alchemy project, and the scale of this thing is comparable to the space-based weapon project, and it was actually buried on Ganymede."
Xia Xiu condescendingly overlooked the alchemy project that was completely exposed in front of him.
In front of him at this moment is a huge melting pot, or should I call it a mechanical city, and the first impression is its sheer scale and tight structure, as if it were a mechanical city made of countless small machines carefully spliced together.
At the center of the installation are a series of large cylindrical structures that appear to be the main body of the installation, resembling gears and hubs.
These cylinders are filled with dense details, including pipes, exhaust outlets, ladders and platforms, which are manufactured to such a high level of detail, with intricate textures and patterns on their surfaces.
Above and around the installation are a number of small pavilion-like structures connected by a series of bridges, ladders, and drawbridges.
The steam and smoke coming out of these buildings, as well as the water vapor that erupts from certain pipes, add a dynamic life to the whole scene. It covers an area of at least more than a kilometer.
In the barren land of Callisto, its existence is miraculous, its existence is like a huge work of art that straddles the past and the future, and its exterior combines mechanical and natural elements to present a contradictory beauty that is both primitive and high-tech.
From a distance, the furnace resembles a dragon winding across an ice field, with heavy metal plates and mechanical parts stacked together to form an impregnable barrier; Its surface is covered in rusty steel and icy silvery metal, shimmering with a sheen eroded by wind and snow; Between these metals, rough rocks and hard horn wood, the combination of natural materials and mechanical components shows a kind of tenacity and adaptability to survive.
In the structure of the furnace, the wreckage of reassembled ships and armored vehicles can also be seen.
What was once a war machine was now a protective component, their massive tires and tracks partially transformed into strong support points and pillars, while turrets and machine-gun muzzles were transformed into observation points and defensive stations protruding outward.
The furnace as a whole presents an intricate aesthetic.
Above and on its sides are steam pipes and rotating gears that release steam in cold climates as if they were the breath of the furnace itself.
Illuminated by the blurry sea of stars above Callisto, the steam leaking from these pipes creates a hazy halo in the moonlight, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the furnace.
This thing is full of the unique beauty of the combination of technology and alchemy.
Poofβ
Xia Xiu, who was observing the huge furnace on the deck, suddenly stretched out, and a blue data fire came out of his hand, and the authority of stealing the god of all machines on his body began to turn, and the 'fire source' that was the foundation and soul of the machine began to emit a strange luster, and at the same time, the [Triple Crown] filled with 75% electricity hung behind his head again.
"Let's try to see if this thing has a ghost, if there is no soul, you can basically rule out that they are the product of the [Gear Orthodox Church]."
Xia Xiu said in his heart, and then he directly began to unleash his authority to conduct a comprehensive three-dimensional [all-intelligence scan] of the huge mechanical structure in front of him.
As a subordinate substitute to the omniscient authority of the god of all machines, [Omniscient Scan] possesses reverse engineering abilities far beyond that of any engineer or thaumaturgical editor.
To put it bluntly, [All-Smart Scanning] is a one-to-one paste analysis function, which can not only copy engineering technology, but also carry out engineering modeling, data collection, data analysis, and machine soul detection......
At this moment, Xia Xiu began to scan everything on a large scale with the furnace as the center and a radius of three kilometers through the [Crown Blessing].
"Crown Blessing: Shattering the Flameβ"
"Data Fire: All-Intelligence Scanning!"
Buzz β
A strange humming sound sounded, and the gaze of the Fourth Sword Bearer of the Heavenly Kingdom also pierced through the layers of ice mist at this moment, taking a bird's-eye view of the vast ice fields outside and the towering steam furnace in the distance.
Blue flames of light slowly rose from his palm, filled with the visual energy of data and information.
This blue fire of data wriggles like a living thing, layered on top of each other, like waves in a digital ocean.
Countless symbols, numbers, and calculation rules circulate inside the flame, which are rapidly transformed and recombined in a way beyond ordinary human comprehension, and each 0 and 1 in the flame is like a tiny universe, containing infinite information and possibilities.
Tick β
With a slight ticking sound, the fire of data suddenly jumped, as if it had touched a critical node.
Those 0s and 1s are like activated particles that explode in an instant, releasing a dazzling light.
In this moment, he is at the heart of this digital transformation, and a whole new world is reflected in his eyes.
Everything around us seems to be given a new dimension, transformed into a three-dimensional image made of azure data, and every corner, every pipe, and every metal plate inside the ship under your feet is touched by the light of the fire of data, and becomes clear and clear.
The steam furnace in the distance was also enveloped in this energy, and its complex structure and sheer scale were vividly displayed in the eyes of the blonde youth.
Soon, an azure feedback interface that only Xia Xiu could see appeared in his retina.

ββββββββ
After feeling the feedback from the [All-Intelligence Scan], the blonde young man's eyebrows unconsciously raised.
"Is there a lot of narrow AI? This thing can't be made in Iberia, after all, the principle of Iberian gunfighting is also through the creation of a large number of weak artificial intelligence and the control of bullets made of special metals, which are full of spirit. β
The thoughts in Xia Xiu's mind flashed.
Although the narrow AIs made by Iberia have limited reflexes, are not self-aware, cannot perform tasks beyond the programmed range, and have a short lifespan, if they are combined with gunfighting, they will explode with terrifying power.
"It's useless to think too much now, it seems that I can only go down to the field."
Xia Xiu came to the edge of the ship and stared at the ice below, and then he jumped lightly and floated down from a height of 21 meters.
At this moment of falling, it seemed that the whole world was holding its breath, and time and space froze under his feet.
As he was about to touch the ice, ripples on the lake suddenly flashed under the soles of his feet, as if his footsteps had touched some hidden power.
The force spread out beneath his feet, turning into an invisible cushion, making his feet as light as a feather, and standing silently on the ice.
After landing on the ground, Xia Xiu suddenly raised his head and said to the front:
"Come out, don't hide."
On the desolate ice field shrouded in the shadow of the furnace, there was a sudden subtle tremor of the ground as the blonde youth deftly jumped from the [Ice Source Rambler's] ship.
Dust poured beneath his feet, and the atmosphere was filled with an omenous tension. The silence on the ice sheet is broken, and an ancient and advanced power is awakening.
Something poured out of the dark depths of the furnace.
They are no more than five meters tall, but in this silent world, they appear like giants.
These structures are made of rock, and the surface is covered with traces of time and the wounds of war.
Their limbs are heavy, leaving deep footprints with each step, which contrasts with the icy white snow around them.
They are rugged and primitive in appearance, as if they were the mechanized bodies of quadrupeds.
Every crack in the surface of the rock is like a programmed symbol, and it hides the subtle mechanism of weak artificial intelligence.
Their eyes are not creature eyes, but deep holes of light that glow faintly but firmly blue. In the dim light, this light seemed extremely mysterious.
As they continued to emerge from the furnace, the rock formations began to surround the youth in a dense manner.
They are silent and orderly, silently forming a circle.
Xia Xiu stood silently in the center of the circle, his blonde hair fluttering slightly in the cold wind, his golden pupils reflecting the blue light of the mechanical structures, and his eyes revealed a deep calmness and calculation.
These sudden structures are almost identical to the 400-meter-tall Himaritan Shields that walk on the surface of Callisto, except that they are much smaller than those giant structures.
"Himarian shield...... no, it's just that the appearance looks similar, the inside is different, and their inside is a composite product constructed by countless narrow A's."
Xia Xiu quickly gained insight into their essence, and at this moment, these mini Himaritan shields began to act.
The wind around them traveled between the stone beasts, making whimpering sounds, and they changed.
Their backs changed, and the sound of metal grinding between the rocks was heard deep and powerful.
These sounds are a prelude to change.
Beneath the rock-like exterior lies a highly complex mechanical structure.
After a series of precise mechanical manipulations, a huge stance cannon slowly rose from the back of each Holy Son.
Unlike any traditional weapon, these turrets shimmer with unknown energy and emit a light that distorts space.
With the last stand cannon in place, a tense atmosphere enveloped the scene.
Then, at an almost imperceptible signal, all the stand cannons lit up almost simultaneously, firing a dense range of twisting force shells.
Boom Boom Boom β
The air was filled with a humming sound, and the moment the warping force cannonball was fired, it cut through the silent space, creating a series of twisted trajectories.
Each cannonball seemed to carry a powerful potential, converging towards the blonde youth.
In the midst of the dense cluster fire, a distinctive humming sound sounded here.
Buzz β
Sudden roaring thunder and ticking like death's footsteps rang out in this icy world, announcing the bell of the end of the world.
At this moment, a mysterious force descends, and the whole world seems to be pulled into the prologue of an old-fashioned vinyl film, where the colors gradually fade, leaving only shades of gray and contrasting light.
Time seems to respond to some invisible command, frozen in this moment. The dense warping cannonballs seemed to be held down by the pause button, suspended in the air, becoming static works of art. The world loses its dynamism and dynamics, leaving only silence and waiting.
The only exception to this freeze-frame scene is the blonde-haired, golden-eyed youth. The colors on his body are still vivid, like the only unwashed part of a color painting
