He came a little closer, and only now could he feel how huge the object was. The exposed part alone is already very large, and in terms of size, it can already catch up with the nearby castle. As he approached, the thing grew larger, and it was only when he finally came to rest at the foot of the object that he truly felt his insignificance.

And, what's even more surprising is that this thing seems to be made of some kind of metal.

To be honest, from a distance, this thing looks a lot like stone, because it has an earthy gray-black color as a whole. But when he got closer, Ashrufat realized that the thing was metal. Because he found several small fracture locations, where he saw the luster of the metal. And he only now realized that this exposed part of the ground was an empty shell, or rather a hollow.

"This thing ......," he suddenly remembered the artifact he had destroyed in Oren, or "antimatter engine" as Carrie put it. If you compare the shapes of the two, it is easy to see that the "antimatter engine" was removed from this thing, or from the part that has been dug up.

"Master, here, I feel a very strong radiant energy. Carrie directed Ashrufat's gaze towards a tunnel. In Eshurufat's dark vision, he could even see a faint green glow in the tunnel.

"This radiation is already highly deadly. Humans will die if they stay here for half an hour!" said Carrie. "But it doesn't have much of an impact on you. There must be a source for such high levels of radiation...... Let's go down and see. ”

The tunnel is small, narrow, and not long. But if Carrie is right, this is the path that has been carved out of countless bones. Ashrufat had reached the end, and at the end of the passage was the underground part of the behemoth, in other words, a metal wall. Although he didn't know what the metal was, Ashrufat instinctively felt that it was hard.

"Master, on your left, did you notice?!" In the back of her mind, Carrie's voice became agitated.

On the impassable metal wall, Ashruphat noticed a small palm-sized square that seemed to glow green. It should be said that this thing is more like a part of the metal wall, because it is integrated with the surrounding area.

"Is there anything wrong with this?" asked Ashrufat.

"Please put your hands on it. I'm going to do the data linking, try to decode it. ”

Ashrufat did as he was told. He put his hand on the small box.

"Data Link Begins...... Linking the operating system successfully...... All-round inspection ...... Read the information...... Artificial intelligence interconnection begins...... Artificial intelligence interconnection fails...... Start trying to link the database...... The basic database link was successfully ......" In my head, the soft female voice of the "universal user interface" kept ringing, but to be honest, Ashrufat couldn't understand a word.

"Master, it's done!" After a moment, Carrie let out a cheer. Then Ashruphat saw the metal wall suddenly start to move—no, the metal wall was opened, and it was a door!

An air of ancient silence rushed towards you.

Without Carrie's reminder, Ashrufat subconsciously walked in. As soon as he entered, the door closed silently behind him.

"What's going on, Carrie?" said Ashrufat, looking around. He was now in a big, empty room, but empty. The whole room is rectangular, and he is now in the center of the room. The walls and ceiling of the entire room are made of shiny metal. He was familiar with the metal, and the small room had been made of it since he had awakened as Ashrufat.

"Master, I know what this is. This is a Shepherd-class cargo ship, a spaceship. ”

"What do you mean by a spaceship?" asked Ashrufat.

"The spaceship is ...... As far as you can understand, it's a vehicle that travels between different worlds. Your wife, Kotoshin-sama, came to this world by sitting on this type of thing. Of course, the same is true of the gods of the Star Field. ”

Ashrufat saw a picture appear in front of him, just like when Carrie appeared in front of him, not an objective picture, but an illusion that only he could see. This picture is probably a "spaceship", but it doesn't look like a sailboat or a paddle boat at all. The whole thing looks like a giant shuttle, but the markings on the picture clearly illustrate the astonishing length of the "shuttle" - a whole mile long!

"However, this thing is broken. I guess it was damaged when I fell. Anyway, it's just a ruin now. With Carrie's voice, the huge shuttle in the picture was unevenly broken into three parts, but it was broken, but it was not completely broken, and there was still a little skin connected between the three sections. "That's the state it is now. And its main engine has been removed, so it's supposed to be the one we destroyed in Oren. ”

"Meaning this thing can't be repaired, right?" asked Ashrufat.

"Yes, but even though the main engine is gone, its auxiliary power system is still there. And it's a very strong auxiliary power, you see, master," and as Carrie spoke, the picture disappeared, and the surrounding area suddenly lit up. There was light from an unknown source that lit up from all directions, illuminating the whole room clearly. Of course, for Ashrufat, who possessed the power of dark vision, the difference between the two situations was not very great.

"How did you do that?" asked Ashrufat.

"I've taken over the entire ship for the time being. Carrie replied proudly. "The ship's AI has been damaged or taken away, so I can easily take control of it. Unfortunately, however, according to the records, the ship was unloaded. Master, please go to the left and keep moving forward. ”

"So the ship is empty?" asked Ashrufat as he walked.

"The cargo hold is empty. Carrie replied, "But I think there's something useful here." The ship crashed unloaded and unmanned, but it can also be piloted by humans, so there must be equipment for the pilot. ”

Ashrufat walked all the way forward, and when he reached the end of the room, a door automatically opened in front of him for him to enter the next room. He just went room by room, all the rooms were empty, with nothing but walls and ceilings.

If Ashrufat was a little expectant and curious when he first came in, he was bored now.

"Master, don't underestimate this place, these places can be changed at will. Like this. With Carrie's words, the metal on the floor stretched out like a pinched mud and turned into a wall, separating a separate space in the room. "It's okay. The metal walls suddenly became transparent, and Ashruphat saw that it was all water, and fish were swimming around.

But this is impossible, for it is still a long way from the sea! Ashrufat immediately understood that such metal walls could project illusions.

"How's that, master, pretty good?" said Carrie, smugly.

"It's funny. But it's just a lot of fun. Ashrufat replied. But to be honest, there are different pictures all around, there are low seas, high mountains, magma pools, dark caves, all kinds of strange things, and even monsters jumping out from time to time, this scene is really breathtaking.

He had come a long way, and according to his understanding of his own footsteps, Ashrufat thought he was nearing the end of his life.

At the end of the day, a metal door opened. Then he finally came to a normal room, or rather, a room with all sorts of things. The first thing he saw was a whole row of sinks—they were all strange sinks made of glass, nearly two people tall. There are glowing threads at the top of the sink that end into the ceiling. These sinks were something that Ashruphat remembered very well, and it was in such sinks that he woke up.

Here, however, there is a whole row of sinks placed against the wall, and there are no less than twenty of them.

"What is this?" Ashruphat withdrew his gaze from the sink and saw something on the edge of the sink. It was a huge piece of metal like the surrounding area, with tiny dots of green or red light on its outer shell.

"This is a universal healing device. Carrie explained. "Being able to treat injuries automatically. Basically, there is no disease that it can't cure, and even scars can be eliminated...... Ah, this is actually a multi-accessory version!Master, we're in luck. ”

"What is this?" said Ashrufat, looking at another piece of machinery.

"This is a mind detector...... Through it, you can know what others are thinking. But what's this stuff here?"

Eshurufat asked about other strange things, and Carrie answered them all.

As they walked around the area, another metal door opened automatically.

"Master, the front is the most rearmost place, that is, the control core position. Carrie said. "Please be careful. Although I think the ship's artificial intelligence has been damaged, and the ship does not have a security system...... But there are other possibilities......"

Ashruphat drew his sword before entering the room. But this time it seems to be too much to worry about, because although the whole room is very strangely shaped, it reveals a dead air and no vitality.

"In the center over there, that's where the artificial intelligence is placed, master, let's go over and have a look. Mindfully, Carrie suggested.

Ashruphat walked to the center of the room. There was something like a small table here, and only here, there was still a little green light flickering weakly. The table was littered with symbols and words that he couldn't read. In the middle of the table was a pit in which something was embedded. This should be the body of artificial intelligence. However, the thing had broken into several pieces, and it was barely coming together.

"It looks like it's completely damaged, dig it out and take a look. Carrie suggested.

Ashrufat took out the fragments one by one. It was also the first time he really saw what artificial intelligence — that is, what it was in his head — was really like. The AI doesn't look big, it's a small metal square the size of two fingers together, and it doesn't look special. However, if you look closely at the fractured part, you will see that the interior of the thing is extremely delicate and has an incomprehensible complex structure.
