After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately

Li Ke naturally had no need to explain to Cage. After sailing on the cold sea for more than half a month, they finally entered the outskirts of the main mining area.

Cage has already communicated with the people here and applied for it. Because Li Ke has more than 2,000 hostages, and she has extraordinary abilities, even if they don't agree to her, they may not be able to stop her for long. In the end, the mining area agreed to let her enter the safe area of ​​the main mine.

But you have to go through their security check and change into the clothes they provide. Li Ke looked at their security check process and the safety protective clothing provided and agreed.

After getting off the ship and arriving at the reception desk, Li Ke also met with the cooperation representative from China, who implicitly stated that the cooperation with the light energy mine was crucial, and no matter what Li Ke's purpose was, he must not cause any damage here.

Li Ke just raised his eyebrows and didn't respond.

After passing security check and changing clothes, Li Ke escorted Cage, accompanied by representatives from both sides, into the activity area of ​​the main mine.

The outermost is a circle of guards wearing high-temperature protective clothing, and inside are huge black crystal isolation sheds distributed around the mine. Most of the workers in the sheds are robots.

There are also human supervisors wearing thicker protective clothing, who always pay attention to the division of labor among the robots in the work area in front of them.

Among these robots, some are exactly the same as the ones in Li Ke's space, and many others have other colors and appearances. Their body shapes may be slightly different, but they are all human-shaped.

Li Ke watched the robots skillfully move the black crystals from the transport vehicle for shipment, and asked Cage, "Are these robots actually human bodies? Are their brains controlled by you?"

Cage had already guessed that Li Ke should have learned a lot from Cheng Chenwei, so he was not surprised by Li Ke's questions.

He nodded. "Yes. The core of the machine and the light energy mine cannot fully match the energy. The sensitivity issues of light and heat cannot be solved well. In addition, the damage of components may prevent them from returning in time, causing hidden dangers to the mine. Finally, a man-machine mining robot was developed."

Li Ke carefully looked at all the robots within his sight, but couldn't tell which one was Xiao Yi.

According to what she learned from Cheng Chenwei, the brain consciousness of all humans in the human-machine fusion experiments will be destroyed during the energy fusion, and then connected to the machine instructions, turning them into living dead who can only obey orders.

What maintains their body functions is a tiny light energy mineral filament that is thinner than a hair. Among a hundred high-level evolved beings, only five at most can successfully fuse with such energy.

Li Ke saw thirty human-machine hybrid robots in this shed, not to mention the turnover room on the periphery and the research laboratory further away, where such experiments were still ongoing.

Li Ke asked Cage: "Where is Xiao Yi?"

Cage knew Xiao Yi, but his work area was not here, so he didn't know which robot Xiao Yi was now.

He turned to ask the representative next to him, who frowned: "The names of the robots here are all area codes plus codes. This is Area C. There are a total of fifty robots inside and outside, named C1 to C50. Their names when they were alive have long been erased.

But I remember the name you mentioned. That group of people had the most successful fusions. This experiment favors people with your skin color."

Li Ke saw the impatience and perfunctoriness in the representative's eyes, as well as the deliberate provocation at the end. She didn't want to get angry, so she just reached out and lifted the man up.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? The fusion body in the body won't record the name and origin. Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

The white representative was grabbed by the neck and lifted up. He was terrified, but his throat could not make any sound. He could only breathe desperately and look for help around him with his eyes.

The Chinese representative spoke first: "Li Ke, don't be impulsive. I will ask someone to check it out now. We are partners now and cannot have a conflict here."

Cage was handcuffed and anxious, but not too anxious, because he felt that the representative was too stupid and too self-righteous.

He said to Li Ke, "There must be records. I'll have someone check it for you right away. Miss Li Ke, please go easy on me."

Li Ke threw the thing in his hand aside in annoyance. The representative fell to the ground for a second before he screamed in pain.

A helpless expression appeared on the face of the Chinese representative: "You..., ah...!"

Li Ke turned around and said to him, "What are you talking about? You've been here for quite a while, haven't you ever asked about Xiao Yi and the others' situation?"

An embarrassed look appeared on the face of the Chinese representative. He had learned about the human-machine combination, but he had never pursued the people inside it. After all, they were currently in the initial stage of cooperation and they had not yet negotiated the share of the light energy mine. It was not appropriate to bring Xiao Yi's matter to light now.

He lowered his eyes and did not look at Li Ke. What was the point of pursuing it now? It was too late. What they had to do now was to perfectly combine the light energy mine and aviation exploration as soon as possible and find another way out for mankind as soon as possible.

But he could only think about this in his mind. He felt ashamed for sacrificing small righteousness for the sake of greater righteousness.

The injured white representative was transferred away. What Li Ke waited for was not a reply from the other party, but a team of guards with ten combined robots walking towards them.

There were also ten guards, and the leader said, "You have violated the peace treaty you agreed to when you first entered. We now believe that your purpose may pose a threat to this place, so we are now expelling you. Please cooperate."

The guards and robots surrounded Li Ke and others. Although they had not raised their weapons yet, their strong attitude was clearly revealed.

Li Ke looked at Cage next to him. Cage was also dissatisfied with the way things were handled here. He explained to the guard that Li Ke just wanted the details of Xiao Yi's information. As for the injury just now, it was because the other party had deceived and provoked him first.

Thinking of Li Ke's fighting ability, Cage emphasized to the guard: "For the safety of the mining area, I suggest you handle this matter with caution."

The guard had a different understanding of Cage's emphasis: "It is precisely out of caution that we are persuading Ms. Li to leave. Further ahead is the core area of ​​the mining area. We have received orders not to show it to the public. Please cooperate with us and leave now."

Li Ke chuckled at Cage: "It seems that they have given up on you."

Cage shrugged helplessly, "Not surprising at all. After all, the safety of the mine is above all else. I'm just one person. Miss Li Ke, why don't we just leave? If you are really interested in light energy ore, I can take you to the research lab. There is an energy room there, which is full of light energy ore. I can show it to you for free, and if you want, I can even give you a few pieces."

The Chinese representative also advised: "Let's stop here today. I will follow up on Xiao Yi's matter and let you know. Is that okay?"

Li Ke: "Of course not. Didn't you see the look in their eyes? If I leave here, they still won't let me go. So why should I go out?"

Cage looked at the guard leader opposite him, his expression suddenly darkened. He originally thought that he just couldn't compare to the safety of the mining area, but now it seems that he can't even compare to Li Ke.

The Chinese representative turned around to ask for confirmation: "You want to arrest someone? No, Li Ke is our man. If you don't want to disrupt the cooperation, you'd better not act rashly!"

The guard had a blank expression on his face. “Anyone or anything that threatens the safety of the mine must be eradicated or controlled. This is within the terms of cooperation. If you are protecting her, we will arrest her together. No exceptions.”

After saying that, the other party indicated that they had given enough time for conversation and raised their weapons towards the people in the encirclement, including the combined robots, which also raised their mechanical arms and aimed at Li Ke and the others.
