Chapter 336 Restart [Grace]
After obtaining the mechanical source of the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube transformation, Lin Xian felt that his energy had been replenished with an extremely pure force. This power transformed from the Hell Black Chrysanthemum was madly filling the Infinity and even some nearby convoys, invisibly bringing improvements in superpowers and physical evolution to many people, and even restoring a lot of physical strength. For the survivors who had experienced a brutal battle, it was undoubtedly a timely help!
Looking at the panel of the Mechanical Heart, Lin Xian secretly sighed that there was finally good news. The great battle in the Star Abyss helped him and everyone else to improve their superpowers. At the same time, if he devoured the remaining carriages of the Ocean and the Parrot, his mechanical devouring would definitely be faster and more efficient after reaching level five.
“That’s right!”
Lin Xian's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he thought of this: "The Ocean's engineering-grade nuclear-powered locomotive has a thermal power of 170 megawatts, and the Parrot's has 140 megawatts. Adding them together, it's more than 300 megawatts!!!"
Then can't his surge be upgraded to complete the amplification?
Thinking of this, Lin Xian immediately opened the skill panel.
Surge (rare) (level 3, maxed out): can be amplified to: [Superstring Reactor Phase Rainbow Ring]
Amplification conditions: Complete the construction of a nuclear power plant with a thermal power of more than 300 megawatts.
Amplification time: 24 hours
Wow, let’s not talk about how many mechanical source points he can get by devouring two nuclear-powered locomotive sets, but if this new skill is activated, if nothing else, he will have the potential to have an AT force field shield that can withstand S's attack. When in Xilan City, Lin Xian inexplicably borrowed this skill in advance to transform the nuclear power energy of Unit 01 and expand the AT force field shield, and then blocked the ray attack of the Black Thorn in the Cloud. Although he didn't know why he used this skill in advance, Lin Xian already knew the amazingness of this skill.
Simply put, Lin Xian's mechanical heart originally outputs power to drive the train, and all the energy comes from his energy conversion, but this skill is the opposite. Lin Xian can gather the electrical energy within the controllable range into himself. As long as the Infinity is there, Lin Xian is equivalent to having a 290-megawatt nuclear reactor behind him!
This is definitely good news!
Thinking of this, Lin Xian became alert and went straight back to carriage No. 1 to start the action.
At this time, some of the remaining team members on the Ocean and Parrot trains were dismantling the weapons, equipment and supplies in the carriages with the help of other teams. Lin Xian had notified them in advance, and these people also knew that Team Lin needed to use mechanical energy conversion materials, so no one objected and they all came to help.
These carriages are not too important for other trains. Now the combined trains have more carriages than people, and the core is still the power locomotive.
Before long, both trains were emptied, and Lin Xian stayed in the No. 13 weapons carriage, and began to devour the train carriages outside through the air, while constantly taking out the converted materials to make ammunition.
In the current situation, he has to supply all the fleets. Lin Xian directly transformed himself into a mechanical manufacturing center and found the state of selfless manufacturing that he had before under the snowy night in Xilan City.
[Devouring progress 65%]
[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +50, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +10]
…
[Successfully manufactured - Growler K23 electric rotary machine gun]
[Manufacturing proficiency +10]
…
The entire arc line of the joint train was now covered by the faint light film of the heterogeneous magic cube. The darkness here seemed to be very different from that outside the film, just like clarity and thick fog were separated. Apart from worry, all the survivors did not feel the gloomy feeling they had in the darkness.
The dark forest on all sides seemed to be completely obscured by dense black fog. Even the trees, soil and rocks seemed distorted in the vision. But when you looked closely, everything returned to normal, as if you had some kind of visual poisoning.
Shasha lay by the window, looking out through the crack, frowning on her face, and muttered:
"Sister KIKI, do you think we can still escape this time?"
"Of course we can. Trust your brother Lin, sister KIKI, sister Chen, and your brother..." KIKI was operating the computer seriously at this time, and said, "We were able to survive the desperate situation just now, which shows that we all have the physique to survive a disaster."
Shasha went back to bed and lay down: "The Sally has run out of bullets. It would be great if Brother Lin could build a large mecha like the one in Xilan City. We could all live in it and even an S-class monster could be knocked down with one punch!"
KIKI rolled her eyes and nodded, "Your brother Lin does have such a plan, but it will definitely be difficult~"
Sasha touched her belly and said, "When I was first being sucked into the abyss, I almost vomited my stomach. It was so disgusting. I'm going to have a nightmare tonight."
She raised her head and glanced at KIKI: "Sister, what are you busy with?"
"That robot, the system analysis is almost complete, I'm..." KIKI smacked his lips: "You won't understand even if I tell you."
"Why don't I understand!" Sasha sat up immediately after hearing this. Yangyang said, "Isn't it just an artificial intelligence robot butler? I heard that thing can fight, and it's very powerful. Then those dangerous jobs can be done by robots, and Brother Lin will be much more relaxed, right~"
When KIKI heard this, her fingers that were typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped in the air, and then she slowly turned around and looked at Sasha.
"Why are you looking at me..." Shasha looked stunned and turned her head back suddenly: "Is there a ghost behind me?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, KIKI's eyes suddenly lit up, and she suddenly flew over and pinched her little face, and then said excitedly: "You are so smart, I will reward you with candy later!!"
Before she finished speaking, she flew rapidly towards carriage No. 13. At this time, Lin Xian was concentrating on making ammunition and weapons while devouring the carriages outside. Dalou and Shuqin brought people to sort out various types of bullets made by the fully automatic bullet stamping machine, and then used them to replenish various convoys. Under Lin Xian's operation, the entire Infinity was like an automatic logistics supply mothership, constantly bringing hope to each convoy.
At this time, KIKI quickly passed through the carriage, came to Lin Xian, patted him on the shoulder, and said in an urgent tone
"Hey, Lin Xian, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"
Lin Xian raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Speak."
KIKI pointed to the rear compartment and said, "The rewrite program for [Grace] will be completed soon. If we let this intelligent robot and the PX-05 maintenance robot use the Longshan No. 1 track laying machine to lay the track all the way to White City, do you think it will work? The robot should not be marked with the Dark Mark, right?"
When Lin Xian heard her words, his eyes flickered and he thought for a moment.
"I've never thought about this question, but it seems to be true. I've never seen a strange creature attacking a non-living thing."
KIKI nodded vigorously. "It's impossible to lay tracks in such a complex area with just maintenance robots. However, this intelligent brain has a quantum volume of 8192, which is a computing power of (2^{13}). You just need to build the tracks in the camp and let her lay them. After they are built, we can rush out directly!"
Lin Xian's eyes flickered, and he became more energetic. He immediately said with concentration: "Building bridges and paving roads is not that simple, unless the terrain is completely ideal, but..."
At this point, Lin Xian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "But this is indeed a method, and it's worth a try. However, to be cautious, after you overwrite [Grace], I will take a separate drone out of the camp to test it!"
Having said that, Lin Xian was still worried that this proactive attack would trigger a chain reaction in the Dark Forest, so he planned to use a flying drone for a test.
Although it is impossible to control the aircraft by signal because it is too far away, Lin Xian only needs to set up an automatic flight program to let the aircraft fly towards a specific area. If it does not cause any noise, then this plan will indeed work.
Lin Xian did not hold out much hope for this plan, but in the current predicament he could only try it as a last resort. Even if it didn't work, he could let Grace conduct external reconnaissance, which was better than having everyone trapped here.
Moreover, he had already had ideas about this [Grace]. As a crimson intelligent computer, it can provide him with a lot of help. Moreover, the material of the robot is extremely special and it is also a powerful weapon in combat. You know, at the Zero Element Center, Ning Jing, the Queen of Strength, couldn't break its alloy panel with a single punch, which shows its defensive power!
Even if that doesn't work, this intelligent brain can help share some of the decision-making pressure.
"Hmm~" KIKI also perked up at this time. She held her chin up and suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Lin Xian, do you think those who want to create digital life will also have the same plan? Upload your consciousness to the computer and turn it into a robot so that it is not afraid of the dark."
"Maybe. Although the original intention was not for this, the purpose is the same." Lin Xian said
There aren't many robots of Grace's level in the world, even if they are just offline versions. The best way to perfect digital life is to use cloud storage and computing, but now the world's information network is paralyzed. Uploading a person's consciousness to the intelligent brain alone will not solve any problems. Of course, we can't be absolute. Who knows what extreme things those adventists will do...
"But there is still a problem." Lin Xian thought of what Ning Jing had said just now: "White City was swallowed by Xingyuan on the day of the apocalypse, and the orbital situation there is also unclear. If some complex problems arise, [Grace] may not be able to solve them."
[Grace] is just an artificial intelligence and does not have the ability of telekinesis or mechanical manufacturing. If she encounters special situations, even if she has extremely high computing power, it will be futile without engineering capabilities.
KIKI nodded and said, "Then we can send [Grace] to White City to investigate first. After we understand the specific situation, we can take action."
"That's fine." Lin Xian looked at her: "How long will it take?"
"It has been analyzed, but not much useful information was found. The Crimson World is very cautious. This intelligent computer was specially made to protect the Zero Element Center. After I export her movement module and thinking model, I will delete all other irrelevant ones and overwrite the system. It will take about two hours."
"Okay." Lin Xian responded: "Then let's hurry up."
KIKI nodded and immediately ran back to start operating.
Lin Xian was racing against time to manufacture ammunition and devour carriages. The Ocean and Parrot had a total of 32 carriages. In addition to two nuclear-powered locomotives and two traction electric locomotives, the remaining 28 were ordinary carriages with thick armor, which were devoured one by one by Lin Xian.
Each ordinary carriage obtains more mechanical source points than a flatbed trailer. After all, it contains a lot of carriage electrical systems. Devouring one Lin Xian can obtain about 50 mechanical source points and a large amount of metal materials.
[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +50, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +10]
[Congratulations, your mechanical devouring has been upgraded to level 5, and your devouring efficiency has been improved! ]
After devouring four carriages, Lin Xian's mechanical devouring proficiency finally reached 2000 and completed the upgrade. In an instant, he felt that his devouring progress had once again achieved a leap-forward improvement. It originally took about 20 minutes to devour an empty carriage, but now it only takes 13 minutes to complete the devouring, and the efficiency has been greatly improved!
[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +30, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +5]
After the swallowing was upgraded, Lin Xian swallowed another carriage. As expected, after the level was upgraded, the effects of low-precision machinery and batch swallowing were discounted again. Lin Xian has become accustomed to this change.
It was as if this mechanical source point was a kind of learning of technology by his mechanical heart. The higher the level, the higher the demand for precision technology. It was obviously not feasible to take industrial products in batches for infinite improvement. Now Lin Xian only had a few mechanical source points when he devoured a car. Apart from materials, it was better than nothing for upgrading.
After a while, KIKI's voice came from the communicator.
"Lin Xian, it's done."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately stopped what he was doing and ran towards carriage No. 21. There was only one 1130 in the weapon station here, and the rest was empty, with some sundries and tools and equipment placed on it. [Grace], which was sealed in a metal cabinet by Lin Xian, was also here.
At this time, KIKI had already opened the metal cabinet and was sitting on the floor with a computer. Several infinite data cables were connected to the back of Grace's head.
"I've already deployed it and am waiting for you."
"Where's Luo Yang?"
"He has led his men to set up isolation grids and surveillance sensors along the front line."
"Okay." Lin Xian nodded: "Just operate it directly, I have already controlled her mechanical unit."
In order to ensure that everything goes well, Lin Xian is not at all confident about this Crimson Intelligent Computer that has not undergone a system overwrite. Fortunately, although his mechanical ability cannot handle her quantum processor for the time being, it can at least control her motion unit, which prevents the robot from showing aggressive behavior.
Da da da~
KIKI quickly operated the computer: "Okay, the overwrite has begun. It will take about 20 minutes. I completely erased her system logic protocol and then added a new one. There is only one."
"What agreement?" Lin Xian asked.
KIKI looked back at him and said seriously, "Basic Agreement: Fully obey all of Lin Xian's instructions."
"Anything else you'd like to add?"
Lin Xian smiled when he heard this: "This one is enough. I haven't thought of the others yet."
"That's fine."
Drop~
At this time, under KIKI's operation, the full rewrite of [Grace] officially began, Grace's secondary energy began to start, the quantum core processor began to operate, and the superconducting quantum bit array on the back of her neck lit up dense red diagnostic lights the moment the system rewrite command arrived, breaking up and reconstructing all the synaptic weights of the three million bionic neurons in her humanoid body, and an extremely strong computing state began to emerge.
Lin Xian looked at this scene with a slightly stern expression. He knew that an intelligent computer of Grace's level was definitely not an ordinary robot. Even for the Phoenix Society and Xinghua Heavy Industry, according to KIKI, there would be no more than 10 intelligent computers of this computing power, and they were mainly used in the construction and control of large space stations, aircraft or super-large bases.
Lin Xian guessed that in the Phoenix Society, there must be an intelligent computer with a higher level than [Grace] used as the central decision-making unit for global strategic coordination. In the Crimson World, an adventist organization, it was actually used for offline management of an underground base. Combined with Chu Yan's team's consciousness investigation of Julius Litt in the Zero Element Center, Lin Xian concluded that the importance of the Zero Element Center was much higher than he had previously imagined.
"Lin Xian!"
Just when Lin Xian and KIKI were waiting for Grace's system to be overwritten, suddenly, Grace's holographic face began to flicker, and Chu Yan's face appeared again. This sudden scene made Lin Xian and KIKI change their expressions.
"What's going on?" Lin Xian shouted
"It's a hidden program that stops the underlying operating system from overwriting!" KIKI was surprised and said, "I'll delete it right away."
At this moment, Grace, with the face of Chu Yan, slowly opened her eyes and looked at Lin Xian standing in front of her. Her holographic face kept flashing, and she spoke through the broken audio system.
"Lin Xian, in... in the dimension beyond... no... don't understand it from your own dimension. The power of the dark world must have a frequency effect, or perhaps... they can communicate through the same substance..."
"Who are you?!" Lin Xian asked loudly.
Zizizizi, the holographic face flickered and disappeared, the message had ended, and at this time, Grace's operating system had been completely overwritten.
KIKI looked at this scene in surprise and asked, "She was... shouting at you just now?"
Lin Xian immediately looked at KIKI: "KIKI, can you still find the program document of the message just now?"
KIKI shook his head and frowned, "No, it has all been overwritten. The background system seemed to have deliberately arranged to take over the system before detecting the program deletion, but..."
"As if they knew in advance that we were going to do this?" Lin Xian's face darkened. Looking at [Grace] who was starting up the system, a storm rose in his heart.
Who was talking to him and what did the words just now mean?
Reminder? Warning?
Why does [Grace] know her current situation?
How did the robot know that it had to overwrite her program?
The confusing mysteries kept entangled in Lin Xian's heart like thick asphalt. Ever since he came into contact with Chu Yan and the Crimson World, Lin Xian began to feel that an extremely mysterious existence seemed to be watching him, but at the same time, the "reminder" from the center of Zero Element seemed to be "well-intentioned" to Lin Xian, which made Lin Xian even more confused.
If it wasn't Chu Yan, why would the Crimson World help him?
In Car No. 21, Lin Xian and KIKI were both in a state of shock. The scene just now was too weird, and even KIKI was caught off guard.
"Beyond dimensions, frequency synchronization effect...is she telling us something?" KIKI said.
Lin Xian shook his head: "I didn't quite understand, but my intuition tells me that this information is very important!"
"So... should we tell others?" KIKI asked
Lin Xian's face darkened slightly, and he repeated Grace's words in a low voice: "In the transcendent dimension, don't understand it from your own dimension. The power of the dark world must have a frequency effect..."
"What does that mean?"
"Does this mean that the power of the dark world uses the existence of the dark dimension itself to interfere..." KIKI quickly reacted: "For example, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum senses S-level existence, the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube blocks the invasion of darkness, and the Silver Dragon Hundred Thousand Mistakes clears the layers of dark space!"
Lin Xian stared: "Disaster plants and forbidden objects are things that exist in the dark dimension. Now the Federation and the Phoenix Society are studying dark things to deal with disasters. Your idea is correct."
Counting the dark dimension that exists at this time, Lin Xian has two disaster plants and two forbidden objects, and Brother Huo has a gold bracelet. Lin Xian thought of the silver bullet that Hu Lushou gave him, but the problem is that he knows too little information about forbidden objects. Why didn't Brother Huo's gold necklace and the silver bullet bring about a terrible disaster, but the fish-lion statue encountered in the Aksai No Man's Land dragged everyone into the Star Abyss?
"Director Ding may have to figure out a solution to these problems." Lin Xian took a deep breath and looked at KIKI. "Back to the present, are you sure that this intelligent computer is fine now?"
This question also stumped KIKI. She frowned, and was unusually unsure: "Logically speaking, the underlying operating system has been overwritten, and you did not find any other intelligent cores through mechanical scanning, so in principle it must be clean. However, if there is a force beyond machinery that affects it..." She looked at Lin Xian and said: "It's hard to say."
Grace's sudden change made the usually confident KIKI a little confused. In addition, they encountered so many strange things along the way that KIKI began to doubt the reliability of computers.
"This happened last time. Grace's self-test is embedded in the program. Since it has been overwritten, let's start it."
If there really is someone who can directly control the intelligent computer, then this ability will be several levels higher than Lin Xian's mechanical heart. After finally getting an intelligent computer and waiting for so long, Lin Xian decided to start it directly.
At least, Grace's abnormal reminders seemed to be well-intentioned for Lin Xian at the moment. His most urgent task was to use Grace to solve the problem, so he could only put aside the strange situation and start activating Grace.
"Okay." KIKI nodded: "Then I'll start it."
Lin Xian looked up at the exquisite mechanical face, and suddenly reached out to take off the beautiful mask that Grace used as facial decoration. Anyway, it had been smashed into pieces by Ning Jing, so he could use it to devour it and obtain it to study this new material.
[Swallowed successfully, mechanical source points +20, mechanical swallowing proficiency +5]
[Obtaining super-solid carbon condensed alloy*2]
Lin Xian got the new material and his guess was correct. The grade was indeed level 5, which was higher than the super carbyne alloy of the previous Unit 01. It was indeed a rare item. This was also the first time that Lin Xian obtained level 5 material.
If this material was used to make battle armor or train armor, Lin Xian estimated that he could completely withstand the snow monster tide head-on. However, Lin Xian was just thinking about it. Level 5 materials were so scarce that even if Lin Xian swallowed all of Infinity to make them, he probably couldn't convert enough material for a carriage. Now Infinity's latest armor plate only uses level 3 tungsten-titanium alloy plus an inner lining, and it uses the armor structure design of Unit-01, which is already better than the outer shell materials of the interstellar army's tanks and aerial gunboats.
After taking off the mask, Grace's face was in a faceless state with the same metallic luster as her body. It looked much more pleasing to the eye and comfortable, at least without that weird feeling.
"Hey, this looks much better~" KIKI couldn't help but say.
Lin Xian weighed the mask in his hand and said, "Let's keep talking like this from now on, and cancel the holographic face."
"Yeah." KIKI pressed the restart button at this time. In an instant, the core of Grace's chest began to light up, and then all the motor units in the body resonated and began to move smoothly. Under KIKI's control, Grace's faceless face looked at Lin Xian at this time, and a light curtain scanned Lin Xian's body.
[System startup, current version, Crimson No. 3 Intelligent Brain offline version]
[Scanning protocol instructions]
[Physical signs, iris scan completed, hello Lin Xian, please give me the first instruction to help me identify your voiceprint information. ]
[Grace] walked out of the metal box at this time, with her hands behind her back and standing on tiptoe, still using the same elegant movement pattern as before. She looked at Lin Xian like a proud ballet housekeeper.
Lin Xian looked at the intelligent robot and said, "From today on, your name is Grace, not Crimson No. 3."
【Voiceprint recognition successful】
[Understood. My name will be Grace from now on.]
KIKI was typing on the keyboard at this time, and said to Lin Xian: "I have also entered the information of other team members. She will identify them as friendly forces one by one. Now we need to give her some time to study them in depth."
"What to learn?" Lin Xian asked.
"Infinity, Apocalypse Day, Escape to the East, the Interplanetary Train Project, the abilities and powers of all members, including our current environmental situation..." KIKI finished speaking in one breath: "This way, she will understand the situation in which your arrangement is made."
"How long will that take?"
KIKI smiled when she heard this: "If our computer or mecha system wants to understand and train such AI, it will take at least 30 days, but for her..."
As she spoke, she looked at Grace who was standing quietly in front of her, and said with great pride.
“It only takes one second.”
