Chapter 58 The Truth of the Gray Iron City, Infinite Energy

"It's too far away, I can't see it."

Hughes pulled the robot to the roof of the car, so that he was facing him.

Only then did Hughes see the whole picture of the robot. It was a small robot less than 1.5 meters tall, wearing a gray cloth coat.

And except for the big display screen on his face, his other parts are similar to human hands and feet.

Then Hughes saw the expressions on the display screen on the robot's face start to change wildly, mainly fear, anxiety, and shyness.

The ghost knows why a robot still feels shy, a robot can actually feel shy, but it is already very strange for a robot to have such an independent consciousness, it seems that shyness is not incomprehensible. ?
Hughes patted the robot's head, it was metal and a little cold.

"Calm down." Hughes talked to it as peacefully as possible, "I won't do anything to you, I just want to know why this country has become what it is now."

"Om~"

The robot made a buzzing sound of unknown meaning, and Hughes almost thought it was broken.

After Hughes comforted it for a while, the robot finally stopped changing its expression crazily. It was built on the roof of the car, three meters away from Hughes.

"I'm sorry, I was too excited. I haven't seen a living human being for a long time." Speaking of this, the robot's expression became a little downcast.

It looked at Hughes, "Actually, I'm not a robot, I'm a reformer, and I was originally a human!"

"Transformation of people?"

Although what it said was very deep, the expression on his face was really a bit of a drama.

That kind of mechanical emoticon pack, no matter what expression you make, it will make people feel very interesting.

But the robot obviously didn't notice the suppressed smile in the corner of Hughes' eyes, otherwise he would rush to Hughes now, punch his handsome face a few times.

"That's right, you should have seen what this country looks like now." The robot stood up and looked around at all the metal creations. "Here, human beings can't survive at all."

Suddenly the robot seemed to remember something, he turned his head to look at Hughes solemnly, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body now?"

"Uncomfortable?" Hughes thought of the stagnation of his body before, "You mean the kind of symptoms that make people's body feel stunned?"

"That's right!" The robot became irritable when he heard that Hughes had a physical problem, "You leave this country quickly! If you don't leave, you will also become those metal men!"

"For me, don't worry." Hughes took out the half-eaten plant that Hughes had eaten from his luggage, and Hughes handed it to the robot, "As long as you eat this, you'll be fine."

"What is this?" The robot looked at the plant that Hughes handed over, and the display screen on its face began to flash a string of complicated codes.

In the end, a plant appeared on the face of the robot, which was the complete version of the small plant in Hughes' hand.

"Herbal?!"

The robot looked at Hughes in shock, "Why do you have this kind of plant?!"

"No! No!" The robot hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, and then he saw the plant in his hand, and his movements immediately became cautious.

"I didn't mean to look down on you, I just wanted to say how could this kind of plant still exist in this world!" The robot looked curiously at the herb in his hand.

"This herb is said to be able to cure all diseases in the world, but this plant should have been extinct hundreds of years ago?"

"Why do you still have it in your hand? Moreover, it is said that this plant is completely unviable, even in ancient times it is a legendary plant!!"

"I found this on a turtle island," Hughes said, looking at the herb in Manxiu's hand.

"There are all kinds of plants on that turtle island, not only rare plants, but also extinct plants....Do you know the situation on that island?"

"Turtle Island...plants...herbs..."

The code was drawn across the face of the robot, and after a long time, its head began to turn red due to too many searches.

"Can't find..."

It’s just that this time he rummaged in his database several times, but he couldn’t find this kind of island. There are quite a few turtle islands, but he couldn’t find a match for the turtle islands with various rare and extinct plants. of.

"It's okay, it's okay if you can't find it." Hughes comforted the robot, "And even if you find the information about that island, you won't be able to reach that island, after all, the sea is so vast and boundless!"

"Yeah..." The robot nodded in frustration after listening to Hughes' chicken soup for the soul.

"Back to you."

"No need, you can keep that plant for yourself." Hughes waved his hand casually.

"But! But! This is a very precious plant! It is a priceless treasure!! How can you give it away casually!!" Hearing that Hughes said that he would give the pillar of medicinal herbs to himself, the robot was so excited that he couldn't even speak. Can't tell.

"It's okay, I still have a bunch on board anyway." Hughes just wanted to use this plant as an air freshener.

I don't care much about its efficacy in curing all diseases.

"Woooooo! You are such a good person!"

The robot looked at Hughes and burst into tears, "Good man! Can you tell me your name?"

"Just call me Hughes."

"Hughes!... You are such a good person!" Big teardrops fell on the display screen on the robot's face, "Suck! My name is Manxiu."

At this time, Hughes was glad that Manxiu was a robot, otherwise he would definitely have a lot of snot and tears on his body now.

Manxiu cried and carefully hid the medicinal herb in his hand, which was one of the antidote he used to save the gray iron country.

"Manxiu, now you can tell me why this country has become what it is now."

Hughes was still curious about the current state of the country.

"Ok!"

Manxiu pointed the display screen on his face directly to Hughes, and the screen began to play on the screen.

The protagonists of the picture are several researchers wearing lab coats doing research in the laboratory.

"It's just..." Hughes looked intently at the researcher's object in the picture, which was a huge sphere.

"That energy ball is what they call "Etter", which was discovered by those scientists when they were excavating a ruin."

As the researchers in the picture manipulated the machine, various energy conduits began to transmit energy, and the machine began to operate.

An azure blue sphere is suspended in a glass tube, strands of energy burst out of the sphere like a dragon, and wrap around the surface of the sphere, endlessly growing.

And the researchers all looked amazed when they saw the sphere began to release energy.

As the screen continued to play, the researchers on the periphery of the sphere changed batch after batch. They used the energy of the metal sphere as the core to create a series of various magical items.

Among them are the walnut-sized cores in the hands of Hughes.

The energy overflowed by Ertel's self-operation is guided by those scientists through the tubes connected in the container.

After this energy leaves the matrix, it will be completely dissipated in the air.

So those scientists collected the energy spilled from the core matrix, and injected that energy into the core shell developed by themselves, and an independent core was produced in this way.
