Qi Heng played...
Chapter 72
The Ikal civilization called the gathering places of the Tianjia Zerg on Tianyun Star slums. One is the northern slum located on the plain where Qi Heng is located, and the other is located in the coastal area in the south.
They have built three bases on Tianyun Star, among which Base No. 3 is responsible for the management of some "public facilities" on Tianyun Star and monitoring the development trajectory of the Tianjia Zerg civilization to prevent the Tianjia Zerg from re-developing civilization due to negligence.
The other two bases were built about one kilometer away from the gathering place. Unlike Base No. 2, which has scientific research functions, the base located underground in the south is relatively simple, and only one person is assigned to coordinate all matters.
In matters related to Falling Star Day, Base No. 1 actually obeys Base No. 2.
The distance between the two gathering places meant that Qi Heng could not go there during the two days of Falling Star Day, but he had to ensure that Base No. 1 would not hinder him in the operation tomorrow night and that he would move in the direction he had planned.
At this time, the existence of A0 is crucial.
Qi Heng couldn't explain exactly what kind of existence the system on his body was, but there was no doubt that A0 was powerful - especially in terms of networking.
...Not only is the intrusion easy, but it also doesn't consume much energy. The system itself, which only maintains the lowest energy consumption, can provide A0 with a large amount of computing power.
A0's invasion was like the spread of a virus. It first took control of Base No. 2, and then used Base No. 2 as a springboard to transfer the control of all connected devices on the entire Tianyun Star to its own hands one after another along the network fiber optic signal without anyone noticing.
All of this happened without alerting anyone from the beginning to the end. Even the civilization surveillance cameras set up by the Star Alliance outside Tianyun Star were hacked into the central system by A0, making the "eyes" of the Star Alliance a valuable card in his plan.
While Qi Heng entered Base No. 2 this morning to deal with Lei and the others and begin their deployment, A0 was also busy. It quickly took over all the bases on Tianyun Star and then implemented a part of the "Chosen One" plan.
This plan actually had a rather unconventional name before it was officially confirmed. Ahem, if Qi Heng hadn't decided to make it more serious, it might have been called the "Golden Finger Door-to-Door Delivery" plan.
The saying "golden fingers delivered to your door" is not wrong. For the chosen ones, receiving the gift from A0 will give them the opportunity to jump out of the circle drawn by the Ikal civilization, thereby coming into contact with the true face of the Tianjia civilization and obtaining the method of cultivating mental power and star power.
From this perspective, it’s okay to say it’s a golden finger.
For example, the selected candidates will receive a literacy gift pack produced by A0 and complete extracurricular expansion tasks under A0's supervision. After passing the test, they will have the opportunity to contact the "Gray Mist", an organization that secretly accumulates strength and strives to restore the glory of Tianjia civilization.
Qi Heng thought to himself, his eyes fixed on the video in front of him, wondering which candidate A0 would ultimately choose.
The video does not have a fixed perspective. A0 made some edits to better illustrate the situation at Base No. 1.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was a silver metallic butterfly, about half the size of a blue-tailed butterfly. Although its shape was a bit strange, Qi Heng, who was used to seeing blue-tailed butterflies, could still see some similarities with it.
The scene where the butterfly is located is similar to the interior environment of Base No. 2, and it can be confirmed that it is inside Base No. 1.
[You still chose this form factor, isn't it because it can't implement many functions?]
Qi Heng was talking to A0 in his mind. He didn't mind A0's choice. After all, the moment he gave the choice to A0, it was A0's business to make the choice.
"Yes, Your Excellency, but I think this image better fits the image of the 'Gray Mist' organization you are planning."
A0 answered seriously, but unfortunately his seriousness only lasted for three seconds before his true colors were exposed.
Another reason is that I think butterflies are more beautiful than spiders, bees, etc., so you might be more inclined towards them.
[After considering the function implementation, we can cancel two unused ones in the early stage and modify them later if needed. ]
The Ikal civilization is at least a level four civilization, and its base construction is quite intelligent.
Some of the robots in Base No. 2 are also available in Base No. 1. Similarly, in order to maintain the normal operation of the base, a lot of raw materials and finely processed parts and accessories are also stored.
With A0's ability, he could easily drive an intelligent robot in Base No. 1 to disassemble its own body parts, and then use the spare materials, chips, etc. found in the material storage warehouse of Base No. 1 to use the ready-made tools to process and manufacture a small mechanical creature.
[It has the functions of recording, interpreting, playing, communicating, and connecting to the Ikal Civilization base. It can receive signals from Base 1 through an enhanced signal receiver, regularly transmit video and communicate with Base 1's main control system...]
The scene in the video changed, and the butterfly appeared dozens of meters above the ground. Below was a gathering place that was no different from Area 49.
The metal butterfly with a chip installed inside fell down and began to look for a suitable binding object among the numerous Zergs.
[The advantage of this is that it facilitates monitoring of the situation at Aggregation No. 1. The disadvantage is that due to the high damage rate of Tianyun Star's magnetic field on precision chips, the internal chips need to be replaced regularly.]
[In terms of energy, it uses a portion of solar energy to convert and store it, which can be used in normal conditions.]
…
A Zerg gathering place not far from Base No. 1.
A male insect with shoulder-length hair and a slightly immature appearance, clearly not yet an adult, quietly climbed onto a sloping roof. After making sure no other insects noticed him, he sat down and lay on his back on the roof.
The warm afternoon sun fell on him, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes to enjoy the moment.
But before he could close his eyes, he was blinded by a sudden flash of light that seemed to be reflected from metal in the sky.
What is that? The male insect opened his eyes curiously and looked over.
Something flying...is it a bird? But it doesn't look like it.
The male insect was thinking aimlessly. When he was regretting that the distance was too far to see clearly, the flying object in the distance flew towards him, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
"It's approaching me, it's a butterfly..." The male insect couldn't help but sit up straight, muttering to himself.
Under the clear blue sky, a silver butterfly with a metallic luster fluttered down in front of the male insect.
It was something he had never seen before. It looked somewhat similar to the 'alloy' he had seen before at the District Chief's office, but it seemed to be alive.
The male insect looked at the butterfly that landed in front of him, but did not reach out to touch it immediately. Instead, he observed it carefully.
But how could those cold and hard alloys be the same as the butterfly in front of him? Apart from the color, they were completely different.
The male insect tilted its head and struggled for a while, but in the end, his fear of the butterfly disappearing prevailed.
"Don't run, I won't hurt you." He stretched out his hands and carefully moved towards the butterfly, wanting to hold it in his palms.
The male insect didn't know that his curious and somewhat excited expression at the moment, and the entire process of his contact with the butterfly thereafter, would be recorded and saved by the metal butterfly's 'eyes', and then transmitted to another place.
He only knew that the beautiful butterfly he had never seen before was held in his palm. After the butterfly's wings stopped flapping, the butterfly looked like it was dead.
