Chapter 157: Metal Golem

"That's just official information from the Federation, in fact, in a hundred years, spacecraft have broken down more than once. The machine said.

"You call this place the Lost Garden?"

"Yes, it's like a lost place, undetectable and incommunicative, and for decades, I've lived here alone. ”

"Did you build this robot?"

"Robots? no, no, no, it's not a robot, you can call it a metal golem. ”

Is there a difference between a metal puppet and a robot? Chu Jiang didn't ask much.

Talking and walking with the so-called metal golem, soon, a treehouse appeared in front of the three of them, this treehouse is a real treehouse, completely carved from a giant tree, a giant tree that requires more than a dozen people to surround it, hollowed out and built into a hut, it looks like a fairy tale.

Outside the treehouse, there are four things that look like turrets, placed in four directions around the treehouse, and there are some metals, ores, and crafting tools everywhere outside, which looks like a craftsman works.

At this time, a wheelchair came out of the treehouse, and on top of the wheelchair sat a blue-eyed, long-haired, bearded man, who could not tell his real age, wearing an old dress from decades ago, tattered, afraid that he had not been changed and washed for a long time, and his legs, all below the knee, were obviously disabled.

If it's a shijie outside, a severed limb can be reborn, and the cost is not very high, but in this lost shijie, if the limb is mutilated, if you want to grow it back, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than hundreds of years ago.

"Hello uncle, my friend and I came here unintentionally, because we are not familiar with the situation, we can only come to disturb you. Chu Jiang bowed slightly to the old man and said in the lingua franca of the Federation.

"I'm glad to see people from the Federation here, and you're welcome, come and sit inside. The old man smiled and spoke, looking very friendly, to the surprise of Chu Jiang and the others, his voice was surprisingly young, feeling like a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, not like a sloppy old man at all.

Following the old man into the house, it turned out that there was a hole in it, there were four floors, it looked like a huge villa, but all kinds of messy materials and tools were piled up all over the floor, and there were some semi-finished small robots, as well as various drawings.

"Uncle, where did this paper come from?" Seeing the special drawings of the drawing, Chu Jiang asked with some surprise, he didn't think that the old man could make this kind of paper by himself.

"This is on top of my spaceship, when the spacecraft crashed directly into the meteorite area, and most of the wreckage fell here, and many of the materials and tools I used were found from there. ”

"The wreckage of the spaceship?" Hearing the old man's words, Chu Jiang's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Old man, I don't know if there is any possibility of repairing the wreckage of the spaceship?"

Concubine Luo and Mu Xiaoyou also showed a hint of expectation.

The old man did not answer Chu Jiang's question immediately, but pondered for a while, and then said:

"Come with me. With that, he turned around and walked outside the house.

Chu Jiang and the three of them suddenly had a glimmer of hope and hurriedly followed.

The wheelchair that the old man sat in was obviously also intelligent, he didn't need to slide with his hands, and the speed was very fast, Chu Jiang and the three of them followed him, through the empty ancient forest, and came to a huge basin, seeing the scene in the basin, Chu Jiang and the three of them all grew their mouths in shock.

A spaceship about 100 meters long, quietly parked in the basin, the appearance of the spaceship looks very heavy, no brilliant colors, no exquisite appearance, but this is a complete spaceship, and around the spaceship, hundreds of robots are constantly operating, it seems that the division of labor is orderly, very busy.

"Is this ......?" Chu Jiang finally recovered from the shock, and looked at the old man in disbelief, it was hard for him to imagine that so many robots, as well as this spaceship, would be made by the old man himself.

"I made these robots myself. It seemed to know the shock in Chu Jiang's heart, and explained with a smile, "The manufacture of robots is not difficult, only hardware materials and intelligent programs are needed, in this Lost Garden, the most important thing is ore, what kind of ore is available, and the program, on the wreckage of the spaceship, just there, I spent a lot of time when I made the first robot, because after all, you need to do it yourself, but then the second and third ones become much easier, with the help of robots." ”

"As for the spaceship, I took some parts from my own spaceship and reassembled them, the hardware was all done by robots, and the software took me a full twenty years to perfect, and I have been here for almost forty years, and I have been building these things almost from the beginning, and it was not until a year ago that I finished them all. ”

"Of course, my proudest work is not the spaceship, nor the robots, but them, these metal golems. ”

The old man pointed to several giant robots that were more than ten meters tall next to the spaceship, and said with some pride.

Chu Jiang listened to the old man's story in surprise, and said from the old man's mouth that all these things were made by him alone, which still made Chu Jiang a little unbelievable.

"Metal golems?" Looking in the direction the old man pointed, the giant robots came into view, their appearance did not look much different from the other robots, but they were larger and very realistic.

"Is there any difference between a metal golem and a robot?" Chu Jiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course there is a difference, let me tell you the simplest thing, robots are operating autonomously according to the program, they are at most used to replace workers, or to carry out some simple defense work, and metal golems, as you can see, I can let it hunt monsters on its own, it can recognize the strength and weakness of monsters, it can predict dangers, it is a robot with a certain self-awareness. The old man said.

"Self-consciousness, how is it possible, aren't they just made of metal?" Hearing the old man's words, even Concubine Wen couldn't help but speak in surprise.

"They're made of metal, but they contain a special kind of ore - soul crystals. ”

"Soul crystals?

"It's an ore that can store human consciousness for a long time, you transport a part of your consciousness into it, and after ten years, a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, these consciousnesses will not dissipate, and such crystals are fused into the body of metal golems, and they have the simplest consciousness, which is why metal golems have self-awareness. ”

Speaking of this, the old man looked at the surprised expressions of Chu Jiang and the others, and said with a smile: "It's amazing, isn't it? When I first came into contact with this crystal, I was also very surprised, Daqian Shijie is not strange, in this Lost Garden, special ores abound, and I have the opportunity to take you everywhere to see, but unfortunately, soul crystals are very rare, and only nine metal puppets can be made, and this ninth is so weak." ”

"Are these metal puppets very strong?" Hearing the old man say this, Chu Jiang couldn't help but ask.

"It's not bad, the slightly smaller metal puppet you saw only has the strength of the gold level, and the eight puppets are all the strength of the purple gold primary level. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Chu Jiang and the three of them had to be shocked again, the strength of this metal puppet is too terrifying, and as soon as it appears, it is eight, looking at the strength of the old man himself, it is not strong, but with these eight puppets, he is not afraid of any family when he goes out, you must know that the metal puppet is definitely more reliable and loyal than the ordinary purple gold warrior.

When it came to special ores, Chu Jiang immediately thought of the red copper and red blood stone he needed, and he didn't know if there would be these two metals in this Lost Garden.
