Ruins No. 1 is located next to a white dwarf, not too far, but not too close either. There is a strange foggy ring around the white dwarf. Anna's information is a seal, and there is a temple on the white dwarf.
RT5 brought the fleet to a certain range and then stopped. Chen Jing needed to take a small number of troops to explore the rest of the road. This kind of ruins has a defense mechanism against large-scale troops. If there are only a few troops, Fenrir can lead them to fight through.
It couldn't be seen from a distance, so Chen Jing thought about it and chose Fenrir, Jasmine, Eliza, and the little alien to go together. The last one was purely for some experience.
"Let's go." After Shamils is turned on, there will be no problem in space for a short time. Jasmine and Eliza also have their own armor, which is better than Chen Jing's. And Fenrir is a mythical creature.
After the little alien put on the makeshift armor, several of its appendages moved, and it was obviously not very comfortable. However, she put it on obediently and ran around to show off to others.
"No matter how many times I see it, this thing is too weird." A beautiful girl has four pairs of appendages on her back and a natural exoskeleton on her body. This is too weird.
RT5 teased: "Bug Lady doesn't like it?"
"Haha, the problem is that she has characteristics of other organisms. And didn't you report that this thing can adjust its own biological signs?"
To be honest, Chen Jing, the alien girl, is not annoying, but the little alien always gives him the feeling of a JO-level creature that will float away with its back to the sun.
Kaz in the sky is silent, and Dao Ge in the river misses his mother.
"Okay, let's go."
RT5 opens the passage to the outside.
Several people walked in one after another. As the passage closed, RT5 became serious and carefully sorted out the information: "Could this meow be a living thing?"
…
The firepower of the outer layer was indeed very strong, but Fenrir, who was thick-skinned and strong, took it directly. As he entered a layer of membrane-like things, the gravity returned, which was slightly lighter than what humans were most adapted to.
Chen Jing stood up straight, looked into the distance, and then he stopped: "Fuck!"
There was no sign of ruins in front of him. Instead, he saw a steel fortress in the middle of the ocean, a thousand meters high, with tall towers standing in rows. As Fenrir entered, countless warships took off, telling Chen Jing that this was not a relic, but someone else's home.
"Anna! What's going on?!" Are you plotting against me?
Anna replied: "This is indeed a relic."
Chen Jing was stunned.
"Do you think this looks like it?"
"This is just a self-protection measure here. The original Mechanicus left thousands of years ago. The only ones left here are some intelligent machines. Incidentally, this was the pinnacle of technology in the universe thousands of years ago."
Thousands of years ago? Chen Jing became serious. Thousands of years was a long time, but the gap between today's human beings and the human beings of thousands of years ago was still huge.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, Lih was planning the future of mankind.
Even a little bit of technological progress would be fine. Chen Jing decided to negotiate terms with the intelligent machines here.
As the defensive omnics approached, Chen Jing could see them clearly. They were of various types, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the gorgeous golden holy pattern on them. It was the symbol of Clesia, the "Mechanical God", one of the twelve main gods worshipped by the Mechanicus.
"Klesia has always had a rather extravagant taste. She's also the only one among the main gods who enjoys embracing technology. This has led to her followers being the most technologically advanced in the universe. She's nothing but a tech geek."
"Is it really okay to comment on someone else's God like that?"
Anna didn't care: "Then do you know what they think of me in private?"
"How do you rate it?"
"A peeping tom outside of time and space."
"puff."
"Ahhhh! You must be laughing! Just wait for divine punishment!"
"Asha protects me."
"It's useless. I'm super strong. I'll kill you if you don't apologize!"
"I apologize."
"That's more like it."
"Do you have the attribute of being a tsundere?"
"I still want to kill you."
While playing with Anna, Chen Jing and the others were surrounded.
Jasmine adjusted her hair and placed her hand on the hilt of the sword, heat beginning to appear around her body.
Eliza's eyes narrowed, and she took out a piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth.
Fenrir helped the little alien undress.
Chen Jing gave a French military salute.
"Chen Jing?" Jasmine looked at him in confusion.
Chen Jing winked at her: "I think we can talk."
The serious duo also surrendered.
Although Fenrir was confused, he did it out of trust in Chen Jing. Then the child learned from him.
The handcuffs for the connectors were also delivered in due time. The omnics here lacked human form; they didn't need to communicate with humans, so they existed only as their bodies. After being imprisoned, Chen Jing retrieved his phone and discovered it wasn't restricted and its functions were fully functional.
"I think we can talk." Chen Jing used the common language of the Mechanical God System translated by Shamils.
"Is it okay?" The boat carrying them froze.
His innocence was obvious, and Chen Jing suddenly felt a little guilty. He might have to deceive the kind-hearted child next.
"Sure." Chen Jing replied, pulling out his communication device. "There's a possibility of cooperation between us. What do you need?"
"I want to...I want to meet the Creator."
"Why?"
"They can create us, with technology far superior to ours. We want to acquire that technology and evolve."
Too straightforward.
"This..." The Adeptus Mechanicus is a secret organization. No one knows how far it will run in the entire universe. It is not difficult to find it. There is basically no place that Anna's radar cannot see. The most difficult thing is to contact it.
Is it worth it? This is what Chen Jing is considering.
"What can you offer in exchange?"
"All we have is the pursuit of evolution, even if we end up with nothing." It paused. "This is the meaning of our existence, a message left by our creator. We hope to evolve into the highest level of civilization through our own means."
"Project Seed," Anna said. "It's a famous project of the Mechanicus. They spread seeds everywhere, hoping for the emergence of the ultimate mechanical civilization they envision."
"This is clearly one of those seeds."
Chen Jing nodded solemnly: "I can help you evolve, but not by asking for help."
"What is that?"
“Think about it carefully. If the Creator just wanted you to find Him, why would He abandon you?” This principle is both simple and complex. The key lies in your emotional intelligence.
"It's a test."
"Pfft, that's impossible. What they want is for you to evolve on your own and explore the wider world."
"I see. So you can't help us, right? Anyone can do this."
"No, no, no, this is really something only I can achieve to the extreme."
