Where there is life, there is death.

Where there is newness, there is extinction.

This time, the science fiction simulation started with the extinction of all mankind, which surprised Xu Xi.

He felt that the reasons behind the robot rebellion were not simple.

Perhaps it was a malicious act from the universe.

A casual strike originating from a higher civilization.

"But no matter what the truth is, it doesn't matter to me," Xu Xi slowly stood up.

The main purpose of his simulation this time was to gain a deeper understanding of the science fiction side and to explore the nature of the simulator.

About the demise of the human commonwealth.

The truth about the Omnic Rebellion.

Although Xu Xi was curious, he did not intend to delve further into the matter.

"This simulation world is too dangerous. Everywhere there are intelligent machines that can destroy cities and explode planets. If you are unlucky, even ten resurrections will only bring you a drop in the bucket."

"I need a safer environment and more mechanical creations."

"Combined with the mechanical resonance entry, I can gradually increase my knowledge."

“We strive to accumulate enough knowledge before the end of the simulation so that we can understand the simulator.”

Xu Xi stood up.

First, I took a look at the two guns placed on the table.

Then he lowered his gaze to look at the remains of the robot that he had shot through, and the dim basement space.

To be honest.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the situation in the simulated world.

Xu Xi no longer had any hope for this simulation, but simulation opportunities were rare, so any advantage he could get was a plus.

"Anyway, let's change places first."

"The space here is small and there is a lack of professional equipment, which is not enough for me to study machinery."

The light is yellow.

Uncertain light and dark.

Under the intermittent light, Xu Xi packed up his few belongings, then slowly stepped onto the stairs and gently pulled the steel door that had been sealed in dust for a century, closing it tightly again.

…

You left your temporary residence.

[You realize that if you want to improve yourself, you need a more professional research environment and more mechanical creations]

【Thanks to the collected data and maps, you successfully locked on a destination】

[It used to be a gathering place for high-tech companies in the city, with many high-precision machines. Even though most of them have been damaged, you believe that there will be a few that can still be used.]

[Your movements are very alert]

[Relying on the rules of the previous exploration, starting from the underground sewer, bypassing the powerful intelligent machines]

[They are chaotic and without wisdom. Rather than awakening their own consciousness, it is more like they have been given patrol orders to slaughter humans.]

[Endlessly searching for life until I disappear in time]

[You feel inexplicably moved and speed around the wandering Omnic]

[You are very fast and agile, and you will reach your final destination very quickly]

[There are more intelligent machines here, most of which roam the surface. Among them there is even a big killer of the Federation military industry, a wingless airship that cruises the sky with anti-gravity.]

[You had anticipated this, and bypassed the large number of intelligent machines, following a series of secluded paths, sneaking into the underground production area where the number of intelligent machines is extremely small.]

The damage that intelligent machines have caused to human civilization is truly enormous.

So big that the city fell.

So big that civilization will be destroyed.

So much so that the once strictly sealed laboratory became a secret place that was difficult for ordinary people to enter.

Now it has become a place where Xu Xi can enter and exit at will.

No one will come to catch him.

The only things you need to watch out for are the intelligent machines circling overhead.

"I can't move so frequently anymore," Xu Xi said as he arrived at a deserted corner and glanced upward with fear.

The detection capabilities of the Omnics are overstated.

A large number of intelligent machines have thermal imaging detection capabilities, and some can even perform long-range anchoring beyond visual range.

Perhaps the reason why the system has been able to stay safe along the way is more due to the help of entries.

【Soul Joy】

This magical golden entry.

He seems to have an indescribable affinity for machines.

When Xu Xi holds two guns or carries other mechanical creations, the radar of the intelligent machines will always subconsciously ignore him and treat him as nothing.

"I love Machine Soul."

This is what Xu Xi commented.

After saying this, he strode into the underground laboratory and looked at the technological products buried in the ruins with curiosity.

Most of the locations are empty.

There are signs of rupture and tearing.

It should be the item above that turned into a member of the intelligent machine rebellion and escaped from the technology laboratory.

However, there are a few items that still retain their original appearance, with neither the will to awaken nor damage. Xu Xi tried them and found that they were still usable.

…

[Simulation of the first year, you are 20 years old]

[You managed to survive in the deserted wasteland city by being careful]

[You avoid the intelligent machines and record their patrol patterns. Thanks to this, your life in the ruins is more convenient.]

[Finally, you choose to settle in an underground laboratory far away from the robot army]

[You found many weapons in the laboratory, including a damaged power armor and several high-powered guns. You are satisfied with them and want to start repairing them.]

[But you find that food is in short supply again]

[You have to leave your residence, suspend the progress of researching the machinery, and look for precious water and food]

[This time, your luck became extremely strange. You did not find any edible nutrient solution or other edible food.]

[But during your exploration, you accidentally discovered an ancient machine]

[It can collect water vapor in the air and generate pure drinkable water. It can also compress all edible items, such as tiny insects, to generate instant food cubes that humans can use.]

[You took a quick look]

[It was discovered that it was a machine designed for wilderness survival]

[The water and food it produces have a very strange taste, even stinking, but after some consideration, you decide to take it back to your new home]

[Just in case, you tested the machine's operation on site]

【The machine soul is very happy! 】

[The water and food produced this time are particularly delicious]

"I feel... there are some indescribable changes." The joy of the machine soul and the resonance of mechanical force took effect at the same time, and new knowledge flooded into my mind. In addition, Xu Xi felt that his body was a little strange.

It was an indescribable sense of déjà vu, as if I had become one with the machine.

Suppressing that strange feeling, Xu Xi began to disassemble the production machine. The body was too thick and heavy to be brought back all at once, so Xu Xi could only disassemble it into multiple parts and bring it home in a slightly violent way.

This process is very strenuous, but fortunately, you may be able to use external help.

An exoskeleton arm designed to lift heavy objects, as found in a lab.

Benefit from this.

He didn't need to use his flesh and blood to forcibly drag mechanical parts weighing hundreds of pounds.
