Chapter 534: The Age of Universal Machinery

"This world is a continental world, called the Forging World. Before we came to this world, the great scholar, Senior Calligraphy, told us that there were no humans in this world, only robots. We didn't believe it at first, but when we came to this world, we found that there really was no human in this world."

"We naturally think of what the textbook says, that there are humans in all worlds."

"We thought that the human race in this world had perished, but the Great Confucian Calligraphy said otherwise. It said that these robots have souls, and speculated that the human race in this world survived in the form of robots."

"The leader of the Forging Equipment World is called the Equipment King. We found the Equipment King and explained our origins, hoping that he would help us. However, when he heard that there were many strong people in the Jiuzhou World and many long-lived people, his expression changed drastically and he wanted to capture us. Considering that we were outsiders, the Sect Master did not want to conflict with them, so he took us away and explored the truth of the world alone."

"As we explored history and went to various ruins submerged in the sand river, we gradually discovered the truth that this world is full of robots."

"In the beginning, the Forging World was just an ordinary technological civilization. It had just mastered controlled nuclear fusion and solved the energy problem. Humans were the masters of the world, and robots were auxiliary tools."

"Humans crave life and hope to be immortal. Even if we start with genetics, reducing disease genes and increasing longevity genes, we still can't live too long. Various unexpected problems will always arise in the body, and even in the end, there will be incurable diseases such as 'genetic diseases'."

"People replaced the problematic parts with mechanical ones, mechanical hearts, mechanical airways, mechanical lungs, mechanical stomachs, everything about them was mechanical except the brain."

"Later, they achieved a major breakthrough in technology and were able to replace the brain with a mechanical one."

"From then on, they achieved their goal, completely freed themselves from the constraints of the flesh and disease, became a mechanical race, and entered the era of universal mechanicalization."

"Although we cannot achieve immortality, we can all live to the limit of the lifespan of ordinary people, which is 140 years old."

If you want to extend it further, you need to cultivate your soul, but the technological level of the forging world has not reached this level.

"These are the histories that we, the sect master, and the immortal weapon seniors found during our exploration of the ruins. This history is too long and no one knows about it anymore. The people in this world believe that they have been a mechanical race since ancient times."

"After we found out the history, the leader raised a new question: How do robots reproduce? Souls don't appear out of thin air, nor do they attach themselves to new robots."

"Later, we learned that all newborns come from a place called 'Mother of All Living Things'. We decided to split up and divide our forces into three groups to search for the nest. The great scholar and calligrapher will go one way, the sect leader will go one way, and the rest of us will go one way together."

"The robots here all drink alcohol mixed with gasoline. We found a clue in an alcohol store, sneaked into the metropolis, used magic to deceive the guards, and finally came to this underground base two thousand meters underground."

Jiang Li nodded. The underground base was not covered with soil, but with sixteen isolation layers, namely a sixty-meter-thick concrete wall, a lead-zirconium alloy that could resist nuclear attacks, and a thick carbon nitride film... Graphite powder was filled between each layer. Even if nuclear weapons were used for continuous explosions, bunker-buster bombs were launched, or meteorites hit directly, this underground base would not feel any vibration.

"When we were about to succeed, we triggered the alarm device. We had no choice but to ask the Human Emperor and Sect Leader Bai to come over."

One of the young monks pointed to the gate that took up an entire wall behind the mechanical guard and said, "Behind this gate is the 'Mother of All Living Things'."

Jiang Li put aside the mechanical guards that were blocking the way, put his hand on the heavy door, and understood the principle of this door.

"This door is made of a mixture of rare metals with precision gears in between. It can only be opened through the engine code, voice, and soul verification of a specific robot. If someone forcibly opens the door with external force, the door will automatically lock, and only that specific robot can open it..."

Several young monks were anxious: "This particular robot is the Mechanical King, it can't help us open the door."

Jiang Li pushed the door lightly and it locked automatically. Then he pushed the door open with force like a flood or a beast.

"…But if you are strong, you don't have to worry about the above difficulties."

In front of Jiang Li, this most solid door that embodies the wisdom of the mechanical civilization was not much different from a piece of paper.

When they pushed open the door, the young monks saw a scene they couldn't understand.

Countless male babies who look exactly the same are soaking in nutrient tanks.

The nutrient tanks are neatly arranged according to the baby's growth status, from the embryonic state, connected to the placenta, to the placenta being cut off, and the development of eyes, mouth, esophagus, etc.

The liquid in the nutrient tank seemed to have the effect of separating the soul. When the baby grew to one year old, the soul left the body and attached itself to the body of a newly born little robot.

After the little robot obtained the soul, it began to move like a baby, crawling all over the ground and making babbling sounds.

The Mother of All Creatures is the place that gives robots their souls.

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu were not surprised by this. When they came to this world, they used their spiritual sense to scan the mechanical production line behind the gate and knew everything.

"Robots cannot produce souls, so we use cloning technology to create babies, and this way we have a source of souls."

Jiang Li clapped his hands: "Let's go, let's go up and take a look, there are people waiting for us up there."

Several young monks were puzzled.

…

On land, Jiang Li saw countless "people" who, to the naked eye, looked exactly like humans.

A certain monk muttered, "There is a 'skin-changing shop' here. Robots can change their skins freely. It doesn't matter if they have the same skin as before. Everyone relies on brain waves to identify their identities."

The leader was wearing the uniform of a senior military officer, and the amount of glory on his chest was enough to illustrate his status.

The ruler of the Forging Civilization who combines military and political power - the Machinery King.

The Mechanical King looked like a calm middle-aged man, but his actual age was ninety.

Because he has a robotic body, as long as his soul does not feel old, he can always maintain the mental vitality of a young person.

The army on high alert, the serious King of Machinery, and all kinds of new weapons that had never been seen before, all of these were extremely malicious towards Jiang Li and others.

"Fire at the thieves who sneaked into the Mother of All Life!"

This is the most prosperous city of the Mechanical Forging Civilization, with 40 million robots living here. When the Mechanical King learned that someone had sneaked into the underground, he dispersed the citizens in a very short time and wanted to give these thieves the greatest punishment.

He was jealous of these monks from the Kyushu world.

In order to live longer, they even give up their bodies. So why can these mortals live for hundreds or thousands of years!

When Huang Chengdan, the leader of the Lingyao Sect, introduced himself, he claimed to be 800 years old. It was this sentence that made the Machinery King jealous and crazy.
