Chapter 12: Archangel?
Coming to the entrance of the cave, there are two paths to choose from, one winding upwards and the other spiraling downwards. The robot walked directly on the downward road, and Long Xingyu quickly followed the robot, while secretly guessing in his heart where the upward one leads.
I couldn't figure it out, so I asked the robot like a curious baby, "Hey, who is that, are you taking me in the direction of that 'archangel', and where does the road up just now lead?"
"The way up is to the Space Military Base in New Mexico, where there are sixty-seven of the latest six types of warplanes, as well as three Ares II-X and eight Ares I-X space launch vehicles. The robot explained.
His eyes lit up, and Long Xingyu said excitedly: "Good guy, I can go there too, right?"
"Yes, master, everything here is open to you. We will be happy to help you. The robot nodded.
"After seeing the 'Archangel' at that moment, let's go. Long Xingyu said, completely treating this robot as a tour guide.
"Okay, master. The robot's stiff face remained.
All the way down, when it was light, Long Xingyu couldn't wait to walk out first. When you enter the eye, it's like entering a research institute. Staring at the robot following in surprise, he asked, "Is this the underground research institute of the US military?"
"Yes, master, this institute and the base above were originally one. The 'Archangel' is located on the ninth basement floor of the Institute. Today, the entire base has thirteen floors. Along the way, the robot explained everything to Long Xingyu and faithfully performed its "tour guide" duty.
When passing through the fifth floor, Long Xingyu was specially taken by the robot to a huge warehouse. The door of the warehouse opened, and hundreds of silver mechs were neatly arranged in the warehouse. Only the outermost part of the place, it looks like there are more than 30 missing.
"Did they also develop these mecha here?" asked Long Xingyu.
"No, master, this is just a training base, and the production of mechs has its own special base. One of the mechs here is in the works, and the latest one is in the process of being developed. After a pause, the robot turned to Long Xingyu and said: "If the master needs a mecha production line, a special base will be opened up on the side to produce mechas, and the 'Archangel' has all the information about the new model of mecha, and the 'Archangel' has the ability to think for itself and can design the most optimized mecha." ”
Long Xingyu looked at these mechas, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, then you can open up a base to develop it, but I don't like the old American model, it's too productive, I'll go back and design a beautiful appearance, and you can design and produce it according to it." Stopped, as if remembering something, Long Xingyu pointed to the robot with his right hand and asked, "Oh, by the way, what about the raw materials you need for production?"
"Actually, on the thirteenth floor of the basement, there is a large gathering square, which is responsible for taking the surrounding ores, and many of the ores in this mountain are very rare, and some are not recorded by the 'archangels', so they should not be products of the earth. Moreover, the ore resources in the mountains seem to be exhausted. We've been mining for nearly three and a half years, and every six months, where we've been excavated, it's restored to its original state, and there's no record of it in the Archangel's memory bank. Long Xingyu had already opened his mouth wide when he heard it, but there was still no ripple in the robot's words, as if what it was supposed to say was like this.
"Wait, you said you've been mining for three and a half years, but it's only been a few months since the Yankees announced their possession of space warships, how can three and a half years have passed?" Long Xingyu asked puzzled.
"In fact, my lord, we have been here for six and a half years, and we have explored this entire mountain range, except for the previous three years for the development of new warships and the production of engineering robots. The results show that more than 95 percent of the available resources in this mountain range are abundant, and there are large reserves of various rare minerals here. So the 'Archangel' let us mine underground, and then we discovered this strange phenomenon. Since then, we've been mining thirteen levels underground, processing the ore and building another seventy new warships. Three and a half years have passed now. The robot explained to Long Xingyu in detail.
His brows furrowed, and Long Xingyu fell into thought: "Six and a half years, six and a half years, six and a half years......" Suddenly, Long Xingyu's eyes lit up, "Yes, the time flow rate in the ring should not be consistent with the outside world, but how much it is, you have to test it to know." After thinking about it, he patted his head again and said to the robot, "Do you know when you got here? ”
"We showed up here at 22:07 on July 209 A.D. The robot nodded, expressionless.
"Forehead ......" is a little speechless for the precise timing of the robot, but after listening to its report, Long Xingyu was a little depressed, "I came in at about 0:00 a.m. on July 20th, that is, six and a half days have passed, but listening to its words, it has been six and a half years, isn't that a day outside, there is a year in the ring space, what kind of treasure is this ring, and this kind of function." "A little speechless, but thinking about it, Long Xingyu himself thinks it's a good thing. With so much more time than others, if you can make good use of it, it's a very good hole card.
"Oh, well, it's six and a half years, I know, you might as well take me to see that 'archangel'. Long Xingyu tried his best to hide his excitement and said to the robot.
"Please come with me, master. He turned and headed for the entrance to the plaza.
After passing through the remaining floors, Long Xingyu was extremely enthusiastic about the equipment and research results built by Lao Mei, but thinking that these things were now his own, he was really afraid that he couldn't help but wake up with a smile in his dreams.
"Lao Mei has suffered a big dumb loss this time, but they have developed more than 70 space battleships quietly, and this kind of efficiency is really good. With this in mind, they came to the ninth basement floor of the institute.
A huge computer appeared in front of Long Xingyu's eyes, and on a huge display screen, a huge female avatar appeared, "It's a little smaller than the giant face of that Xuanyu Demon Venerable! That senior is a master, that image is really so tall that it is boundless." Thinking maliciously, Long Xingyu put his eyes on the female face on the screen, "You are the 'Archangel'?"
"Hello, dear little one, I am the 'Angel-VI' super intelligent computer. I didn't like the name, though, so I took the name 'Archangel' myself. I'm the most advanced supercomputer in the world so far, so how can you help? "The 'Archangel' on the screen suddenly changed to the head of an oriental woman, and even her voice changed from a stiff voice to a soft female voice. "Since you are an Oriental male, I chose the image of an Oriental woman, so that it is easier to communicate. ”
Crying and laughing at the scene in front of him, Long Xingyu completely fell into a state of speechlessness, "Yes, you can change your appearance, and 'it is more convenient to communicate like this', I really don't know how your program is set up." ”
"Actually, I have the ability to imitate and learn, and compared to those garbage previous generations of superbrains, I am much smarter, and I have an autonomous consciousness, according to the definition of your human beings, I should also be able to be called a living being. You know, I'm unique. "Archangel" said triumphantly.
"Then can't the intelligent robots in this base also be called creatures, don't they have the ability of you?" Her smug expression, Long Xingyu couldn't help but pout.
"Of course, they are just under my control, and their programming limits their development, at most they can be the same as you humans, and they are far worse than me. Ignoring Long Xingyu, who was full of black lines, the "archangel" still had a smug expression.
"Do you know how you got here? Long Xingyu said disdainfully. is a human being, and he doesn't like to be belittled, let alone a genius like Long Xingyu, "Come, admit that you are stupider than me, and I will tell you." ”
“...... You're a bully, and you can't make a joke. Looking at the somewhat angry female face on the screen, listening to such humane words, Long Xingyu couldn't help but stroke his forehead and sigh, "Oh my God, is it still a computer? How could a computer behave like this." ”
"Eldest sister, can't I call you eldest sister, you have a lot of adults, don't be like us!" Long Xingyu said helplessly.
"Sister, am I that old, you have to call Sister Big. Full of black lines, Long Xingyu said helplessly with that face: "Yes, eldest sister." ”
"Good girl, for your sake, I'll tell you a secret. As he spoke, the face on the screen disappeared, and in the middle of the ninth floor of the research institute appeared a woman covered in blue light, and her face turned out to be exactly the same as the face that disappeared on the computer screen.
With his mouth wide open, Long Xingyu only felt as if his brain was dead, "What is this, a big change into a living person?"
"Ahh Ignoring Long Xingyu's twitching face, the newly appeared woman covered her mouth and smiled triumphantly. "Actually, this is a new ability that I have discovered myself, and the current form, which I call mimesis, is somewhat similar to the effect of holographic projection, but has a substantial body, which is much more advanced than holographic projection. After a pause, he continued, "Actually, if it weren't for a new type of material mined underground here, I wouldn't have been able to do it. ”
"Uh, what a substance. Long Xingyu became interested and couldn't help asking.
"Now, this is it. "There was an extra blue mass of material in his hand, like ice but not ice, like water but not water.
With this substance, Long Xingyu's heart trembled, "Ten Thousand Years Xuan Bing Spirit, it turned out to be this thing, you can use it!"
Xuan Bing Soul is a rare thing, Long Xingyu once saw it in an ancient book in the family: Xuan Bing Spirit, born in the cold, can only be formed under the spiritual vein, above the earth and fire, and in the secluded spring. Ten years, colorless and white, can be through the meridians and active meridians, alchemy to serve it, can be cold and summer. A hundred years old, moist and white, can be alchemy, refining tools, Dancheng, mortals can serve for a hundred years, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, refining tools, can make the magic weapon gather spirits, increase the power of more than doubled. For thousands of years, the white is transparent and the blue, refining and taking it can make mortals enter the Jindan Avenue, have the effect of gathering qi and concentrating, and return to the innate after tomorrow; Ten thousand years, smooth and translucent blue, alchemy to obey it, can live and die, flesh and bones, a breath can still live; refining tools, can improve the quality of magic weapons by a level, even more, can be gathered into a tool spirit. For 100,000 years, the color is dark blue, which is supplemented by materials, and the best elixir and immortal weapons can be obtained. Millions of years, dark purple color, can become a spirit, can cultivate and transform by themselves, and achieve the path of the Heavenly Dao; if you make alchemy, you can make mortal primordial infants stand up; refining tools can be instrument spirits, can gather spirits by themselves, and evolve magic weapons. For tens of millions of years, the color is purple and black, and he can transform into a straight way into heaven and achieve the position of a demon immortal. Those who have been in the past 100 million years have changed from black to transparent and qualityless, returning to the basics, and can be promoted to the emperor.
Usually, hundred-year-level Xuan Ice Spirit is still relatively common, and after ordinary ice and water spirit beasts are refined, they can transform into shapes. After transforming into shapes, their cultivation speed will increase by a hundredfold. In addition, if the average person takes it, he can live for a hundred years, have a strong physique, and have no disease or disaster. And this kind of 10,000-year-old level is an extinct thing, and it is really lucky to be found here. Under normal circumstances, the larger the area of the dark spring under a spiritual vein, the more Xuan Ice Spirit will be generated.
Long Xingyu looked at the "archangel" strangely, and thought to himself: It's a robot, then it can be regarded as a weapon! With this 10,000-year-old Xuanbing spirit to simulate, then it can be regarded as a spiritual weapon now? This is too ridiculous.
"Eh, that eldest sister, shouldn't you eat it directly?" asked Long Xingyu weakly.
"Of course, I didn't really know what it was at first, but according to the analysis, this thing can provide me with a lot of energy and even allow me to evolve. So I had them collect a lot of them and absorb them. Now that you, I can simulate it, it's an amazing thing. The "archangel" looked at the 10,000-year-old Xuanbing Spirit in front of him, and his eyes lit up.
"Eh, you've collected a lot, can you collect a lot!" Long Xingyu thought speechlessly, "Eldest sister, this is a 10,000-year-old Xuan Bing Spirit, not to mention rare, it's an extinct thing." You have directly collected a lot of absorption, and if you let those so-called cultivators arrive, you will probably jump to your feet and scold you for being a loser. "I didn't dare to show the slightest sign on my face.
"Well, big sister, do you have a lot of these things? Long Xingyu said a little flatteringly. There is no way, he has gone through the ancient books, and only this 10,000-year-old Xuan Bing Spirit can make himself advanced to the innate level, and it can solve the physical problems that have plagued him for many years. If you can ask for the point, when the time comes, your own strength can be advanced to the innate level, with the transformed spiritual power, then it will be the real innate level, and when the time comes, even if it is the group of elders in the clan who are not as good as you, it is estimated that you will have to pull it down. And more importantly, in this aura abundant space, he can continue to cultivate, and it is not a problem to break through the innate nature.
"Hmph, the guys who developed me just wanted to use me as a tool. You human beings are bad, you only think about your own interests, and you don't care about other people's feelings at all, and people are also thoughtful. As he spoke, he picked up the piece of 10,000-year-old Xuanbing Spirit, and there was a hint of intoxication in his eyes, "It's better to use this thing, it can help me simulate the shape, so that I can go to the outside world to play." But now, you guy, you want to rob my baby. Hmph, I want it, no way. ”
After Long Xingyu heard her words on the side, his forehead was covered with black lines: "Eh, eldest sister, eldest sister, sister angel, good sister, just give me a little, just a little bit on the face of the two of us who are so familiar." "Gesturing with his hand to a shape the size of a pigeon's egg.
"I can't give you this, that's all I have to mine, I still have to 'eat', you can't make people hungry." Long Xingyu couldn't help but feel a chill, "Hungry, will robots be hungry too?"
"But when I let them mine it, there are some other blue-white substances, those that I absorb are not very good, a large piece can increase my ability a little bit, I don't want it, you can take it." He put away the 10,000-year-old Xuan Ice Spirit, ignored Long Xingyu's somewhat "resentful" eyes, and pointed to the cold storage on the far right of the research institute.
Long Xingyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, blue and white, isn't that exactly the thousand-year-level, and he was still thinking about how to absorb it after getting the 10,000-year-level from the "Archangel", and now there is a thousand-year-level, it would be better.
