Astrolab Reboot [Online Version]

Chapter 17 Regeneration Promise

In the waste chute, A-Ka and Hei Shi stood outside the exit again. Before leaving, Hei Shi still couldn't help turning his head and glanced. In the distance, he was walking on the beach in the past, following A-Ka's footsteps.

"Go back—" A-Ka from the past shouted at him, and gestured for Black Stone to return to his hiding place.

Heishi smiled, and got into the waste trough with the current A-Ka.

"There are still two hours, three ten minutes." A-Ka said, "Hurry up, we have to hurry up."

Aka led him to climb in along the combustion filling port of the waste tank. It was a tortuous pipe, and the end of the pipe led to the energy supply center of the entire Machinery City. Half an hour later, they arrived at a huge cold boiler. It is used by humans for district heating.

"Hei Shi, are you okay?" A-Ka said.

Heishi regained his senses and nodded.

"What does that sentence of Father God... mean?" A-Ka said, "Could it be 'Father' who released you."

Black Stone replied: "He wrote a control program in the center of Labelle. The purpose of his wandering in the universe is to reproduce the glory of his hometown through experiments. In this regard, human beings are the closest to the Creator. group."

"He witnessed the destruction of his hometown, and he was afraid that the tragedy would happen again, so he asked the control center to clean the astrolabe and stop the experiment when necessary, but he still had compassion, so he wrote the code to wake me up in the father's center. When the intelligent life form on the astrolabe evolves enough to have... feelings, loneliness, and expectations, just like those giants on the home planet of the Father God. This life form will trigger this hidden program."

"What's the use?" Aka asked.

"After this program is started, it will remotely control my dormant cabin and summon it to the ground." Heishi said, "Let me wake up and help my father judge whether the astrolabe experiment is worth saving, but I think even my father I don’t know, the program left by the Creator in its center, so it...wasn’t its original intention to wake me up.”

A-Ka understood, they passed through the energy pipeline, the space here was narrow, the two had to climb with their arms on the ground, A-Ka turned around and said, "Father actually has such a procedure, I never knew about it."

"Specific conditions are required to trigger it." Heishi replied in the dark tunnel: "I think it should be similar to Father God's state of mind. When he wrote this relationship program, his mood should be loneliness. Those who need the company of the same kind.”

"If he is still in this world..."

"Keep going." Heishi said, "Time is running out, hurry up."

A-Ka climbed along the passage and turned at the end, the sound of the black stone came from the depths of the passage.

"He may have died." Heishi replied.

"He's dead." A majestic voice echoed through the pipe.

Aka looked up instantly.Heishi immediately changed his countenance and said, "Aka! Be careful!"

At that moment, the pipeline that had been abandoned for decades was filled with blue light, and there was an earth-shattering explosion behind it. Waves blew up, and an alarm sounded from the bottom of the city of machinery.

"Damn it." Heishi said coldly, and then roared angrily, "Aka—!"

"I've been looking for your trace for too long." The deep voice said: "If you don't turn on the docking signal of the Cradle of Life, maybe I can't find your whereabouts..."

The black stone was blown to the ground and fell to the ground. With difficulty, he stood up. The surrounding passages were slammed down by iron plates and closed. His head was covered in blood. He stood staggeringly, and said in a deep voice, "Label, you Betrayed God the Father."

"Father has disappeared in the depths of the interstellar journey. 1000 years ago, he no longer sent back fixed radio waves. According to the judgment of the main program, the creator of the astrolabe has died at the end of the starry sky. Now, I have an opinion about the astrolabe petri dish." ultimate dominance."

"Sure enough..." Heishi panted quickly: "It's still evolved, Labelle, don't humans affect you..."

Just when that majestic voice was about to be remembered again, Heishi roared and flew into the air, his body emitting a dazzling light, his arms stretched horizontally, and in an instant, a strange black-golden luster appeared on his body, bursting out with powerful energy , formed an energy hedge with the father!

In an instant, the underground structure deep in the pipeline was completely shattered, and a ray of black gold flashed, and it quickly traced back along the energy tube, rushing towards the towering father, and then, there was a muffled sound from a distance, and the aftermath of the explosion caused an explosion in the ground. After shaking, the entrance of the energy pipe was destroyed.

Aka woke up in that shock.

"Black stone? Black stone!" Aka's head was bleeding, and he searched around. The collapsed underground was dark, and he couldn't see his fingers.

"I'm here, can you hear me?" Heishi said nervously, "Aka! Are you okay! Aka!"

Aka was still in shock, and he was relieved only when he heard Heishi's voice. He followed the sound and light to find it. Heishi got stuck under the steel structure with one hand, pulled it violently, and yelled.

"Don't use brute force!" Aka changed face: "Find a way to lift it up!"

There was blood all over the body on the black stone, and the two were separated by a huge elevator. Aka stretched out his hand through the gap with all his strength, and his fingers barely touched the bridge of the nose and lips of the black stone.

"Calm down...Calm down." Aka tremblingly said, "How are you? Does it hurt?"

Heishi regained his composure and said: "Label found us, I broke its energy pipeline, and must leave here immediately, and robots will come soon."

Aka said: "I'll think of a way, don't mess around, there must be a way."

A-Ka took a deep breath, trembling his fingers, and signaled Heishi to wait first. He dug out tools from his small bag, but Heishi gritted his teeth and carried the lift. However, it was too heavy. On top of it, there are still boulders and concrete that have collapsed in the entire living area.

He only had a small mechanical toolbox in his bag. Heishi glanced at A-Ka and said, "Pass over the saw blade, and I'll cut off your hand."

"No, let me think about it." Aka said.

"Go back and get medical treatment." Heishi said.

"There is no way to transplant a broken limb for you!" Aka said, "You are different from a replicant."

"It's the same for me to install a mechanical arm." Heishi said, "Make one for me yourself, hurry up."

"No!" Aka said, "It hurts too much! There must be a way."

"Pain is also the only way to learn to become a human being." Heishi replied.

"But if possible, I hope you will never accept this..." A-Ka replied panting, without looking up, he kept rummaging through his bag, and suddenly found the remote control.

He held his breath and pressed the remote.

Heishi raised his eyebrows, and Aka said, "I asked K to fly over to save us."

Heishi said: "It can't get through."

"It will definitely be possible..." A-Ka prayed silently, but there was no movement, time passed bit by bit, and they were relatively silent.

Black Stone said in the darkness: "Aka."

"What?" Aka asked blankly.

"Give me your hand." Heishi replied.

A-Ka stretched out one hand into the darkness, and held Heishi's warm hand. Heishi's hand was full of viscous blood. They held each other tightly. At that moment, A-Ka's heart was filled with warmth and strength.And at this moment, a burst of engine sound approached from far away, and began to hit the wall.

"K—!" Aka shouted with tears on his face.

Nothing made him happier than seeing K at this moment, K's rusty body was the same as before, it hit the wall hard and made a loud noise.

"Let him use his strength!" Heishi said loudly.

Aka climbed onto K's body and sat in the cabin door. The robot raised its hands in an earth-shattering posture, and pressed against the elevator. .The elevator was pushed out with a rumble, and Heishi immediately pulled out his arm.

There was another explosion, and the replicant revolution began.

Fly ash fell on their heads, they looked up, and Heishi said: "Get out of the emergency passage immediately! Let's meet on the ground!"

"What about you?!" Aka said.

"I'm going to distract the pursuers! They're coming soon!" Heishi shouted, then closed the hatch and knocked on it, Aka said: "You must..."

Before the words were finished, the ceiling of the underground space collapsed again, and the robot entered. However, this time, the robot did not shoot, but threw countless electromagnetic nets to arrest them. The guard slashed and exploded in the blink of an eye, A-Ka had no time to say anything, and rushed into the emergency passage.

K's thrusters were maxed out and he roared down the tunnel with a loud boom.

Heishi fled into the depths of another tunnel with his pursuers, and then found the stairs leading to the ground and climbed up to the fifth floor.

This is a cell, the inside is dark, the energy source has been cut off, A-Ka's voice shouted, Heishi was shocked for a moment, and then immediately realized that he had returned to the fifth floor, the cell where he and A-Ka were imprisoned !

Taking advantage of the last moment when the laser light disappeared, Heishi caught the past Aka who ran out of the cage!A-Ka staggered, bumped into his arms, and shouted in panic: "Let me go!"

Hei Shi didn't dare to say more, for fear of being recognized by A-Ka, he just hummed vaguely, blocked A-Ka with his body, and asked him to stand aside.

A-Ka: "Here! Black Stone? Come with me!"

They turned and ran towards the exit on the left, but at the exit they heard the sound of robot crawlers, as if many patrolling sentries were approaching.

"Free!"

"Get out!"

"There is a problem with the energy system!"

"Everyone be careful! Lie down!"

Heishi threw A-Ka on the ground and rolled on the spot, his movements were vigorous, laser bombs flew from all directions, the robot guards opened the door of the corridor, light spots flew across the air, screams and blood were everywhere.

A-Ka: "Black Stone, is it your blood?"

"Here." Heishi said calmly, and leaped with A-Ka in his arms, entering the passage outside the cell.

Seeing nothing, Aka went to the side of the passage in the dark and pulled out a cover, smashed it a few times, and asked, "Heishi, are you still there?"

Heishi smashed his hand to pieces, and Aka was startled. He took out the cold light and turned it on. He looked at Heishi's arm hanging on one side. Heishi's hand was covered with blood.

"You are so strong." In the darkness, Aka asked worriedly, "Does it not hurt?"

Akara took Heishi's hand, but Heishi didn't answer, but instead said: "I'm leaving, be careful yourself."

Heishi turned and left, running into the darkness.

On the other side at the end of the passage, A-Ka drove K roaring through the entire tunnel, and stopped at the confluence of the sewers.

He climbed out of the cabin, took off the mechanical arm that had been carried behind his back, removed K's left hand, installed the arm with the mechanical cannon on it, wiped the front hatch with his hat, patted him, and sat in the cockpit. Close the hatch again and say: "K, I'm sorry for leaving you at home so long, now..."

"...Let us fight together!"

"Yo heh—"

As Aka shouted excitedly, K broke through the top road, and flew to the ground with the blue light of the nitrogen propulsion, with a loud bang, K destroyed one cover after another, when a world full of sunshine appeared in front of him At that time, Aka only felt that his fate was so incredible.

The battleship of the clone is rushing from the north, and the mothership is surrounded by hundreds of millions of combat airships, just like the fireflies and the falling stars in the sky when they collide. Aka looked up and saw the flames of war flying above his head, and the light and bullets intertwined into one side The huge net is full of mechanical life forms flying wildly all over the sky. At this time, Father can no longer mobilize his troops to hunt them down.

The mothership flew from afar and began to shoot at the city of machinery, and the whole city emitted black smoke amidst flames and explosions.

A-Ka took a deep breath, remembering the last time he saw this scene, it was like a giant floating whale colliding with the symbol of mechanical theocracy on the earth, the scene shocked him beyond words.

However, Black Stone was still fleeing. Aka manipulated K to fly in the air, looking for the trace of Black Stone. There was another explosion in the distance. Wu Jinyu combined in the air to form a huge sharp sword, and then swiped from top to bottom.

Wherever the sword's edge went, the mechanical lifeform was instantly cut in half, and the chasing soldiers all over the sky gathered towards that point. Aka shouted: "Black stone!"

He pulled the joystick, K set up the mechanical arm, began to straf, rushed to the center of the battle group, he saw the black stone, he was on the top of a building.After Black Stone released the black golden light feather, he fell suddenly, and tens of thousands of gunfire rushed towards his body. Then at this moment, K roared and rushed past, and a phantom came out, the hatch bounced open, and Black Stone One bag, and then push the energy to the extreme, rushing to the sky!

A-Ka and Hei Shi fell together, and with K's roll, the two exchanged positions. A-Ka's back was pressed against Hei Shi's chest, and they were tightly squeezed together in the small cabin.

"Let me go out and deal with them." Heishi said.

"Let me do it!" A-Ka was as excited as a child, pulled the joystick, and shuttled out of the gunfire beautifully, and then fired a burst, blasting the large aircraft rushing towards them into a fireball!

K pushed the nitrogen thruster to the limit, braved the gunfire and rushed towards the battleship, Heishi said: "Feiluo hasn't sent us a signal yet!"

"Slow down!" Aka cried bitterly, "My ears are going deaf."

Both of them were taken aback, and then both laughed at the same time.

Heishi wrapped his arms around A-Ka's waist from behind, and leaned on A-Ka's shoulder wearily.

"It's a miracle." Hei Shi raised his eyes, looked at his father's tower, and murmured.

"What? Did you say K?" A-Ka laughed, and put on a single-sided scope. His beautiful eyebrows covered the red lens, locked on to the mothership flying from afar, and kept avoiding the artillery fire from his father.

"Human beings." Heishi raised his head and looked towards the sky: "Replicants, the life on the entire astrolabe..."

The father emitted blue light, which detonated the electromagnetic hurricane, and the outer motherships began to rush forward.The dark clouds in the sky rolled into a turbulent vortex, and the light cannon on the base faced the sky and began to gather energy.

Aka said: "We can't wait for Fei Luo any longer, let's take a gamble!"

Immediately afterwards, K rushed towards the top of his father.

The light cannon was fired, blasting through the flanks of the mothership, covering the sky immediately, full of the power of the explosion and metal fragments sweeping across the whistling, K kept approaching the tower in this torrent.

The motherships in the distance exploded one after another, and a burst of flames flooded K. Heishi said decisively: "Abandon the plane and escape!"

Aka said: "No! There are still things to do!"

At that moment, countless pictures from the past flashed through A-Ka's mind. K rushed out of the flames and flew to the top of the 600-story tower. A-Ka found the small battleship that was stuck on his father and was charging!

And at that moment, the Black Stone of the past was struggling to climb back to the battleship at a height of ten thousand feet. The battleship was firmly stuck, and the tail thrusters emitted blue light and rolled into a vortex.

Black Stone: "..."

"Secondary thruster out of control, ready for impact." K's electronic alarm system reminded.

With a loud bang, K hit the outer wall of his father. At this moment, Aka stretched out K's mechanical arm, grabbed the black stone in the past, held it with one hand, flew towards the small battleship, and threw him into the cabin .

"Let's go." Aka stared at his past self through the display screen on the deck, and said to him.

Aka in the past was full of surprise, staring at K in a daze.

K turned around and kicked onto the small warship, which loosened.

"Let's go!" Aka shouted at himself in the past, and kicked hard again to help the battleship escape.Then turned around and flew to the mothership.

At the moment when the battleship broke away, the mother ship on the top hit the top of the father, with a loud bang, blue light penetrated the hull, and Aka rushed into the blue light at the last moment.

The flow of time seemed to have become extremely slow, everything was weightless, and the blue light stretched out countless tentacles, entangled and penetrated into the interior of the mothership.

"General Lible!" Aka shouted.

K dragged the flames and rushed into the pilothouse. In the spacious hall in the center of the bridge, a replica commander was entangled by countless tentacles of blue light and lifted up in the air.

The moment K flew into the bridge, the hatch cover popped open, and the black stone flew out. When he was in the air, a whirling feather of light came out from his hand, cutting off the connection between Li Boer and the blue light.

The father's consciousness retreated in an instant, but he never exited the cabin, and the tentacles emitting blue light spun and lingered in the bridge.

"General Li Boolean!" Aka said.

"You are..." Li Boolean's pupils gradually shrank.

Heishi got up and faced the blue light, his father's deep voice sounded again.

"Zoroaster."

"Label." Black Stone said coldly, "You have disobeyed the will of God the Father."

"You are bound to fail." My father said slowly, "Your emotions are meaningless and will only become a trap that hinders the growth and evolution of all life."

Black Stone said in a deep voice: "Father God made me the final decision-making body precisely because I have the ability to learn and perceive emotions compared to you."

A-Ka whispered, "General!"

Li Buer's eyes gradually lost their spirits, and his forehead was crackling with lightning.

"When the blue sea sweeps...the world..." Li Boer continued intermittently: "The Holy Son will...come to the world...answer me...children...you...you..."

"I need your chip." A-Ka said in a very low voice, "Open the code lock of the central program, three codes, we have already got two... General Lieb."

Li Buer grabbed A-Ka's hand and looked at A-Ka with deep eyes.

"Take it." Li Boer murmured: "It's in my head, promise me, children, you will definitely come back..."

"Yes, I will, I promise you."

In an instant, the blue light was shining brightly, and Heishi said loudly: "Take him away!"

"Don't admit it?" Father's voice said, "Look at this scene."

The blue light changes suddenly, and an open laboratory emerges from the top of the spire of the father. The steel structure rotates, gets stuck on the bridge, and slams open the baffle of the front cabin. Amid the criss-crossing electromagnetic light, the door of the laboratory slowly opens. , Fei Luo was tied to the seat, facing the screen, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he couldn't stop trembling.

"Fei Luo!" Heishi took a step forward, but the intensity of the electromagnetic light instantly increased, and when he rushed forward, it was about to blow this place to pieces and completely destroy it.

"Give up your actions." The father said in a voice without any emotion: "Otherwise I will completely destroy him. Copying life forms is meaningless to the world. This is the code defined by the Father God. They are just tools."

At that moment, Aka's blood froze all over his body.

Heishi tremblingly said: "No...no..."

The medical robot fixed Fei Luo's head. Fei Luo gritted his teeth tightly, tears flowed from his eyes, and his lips moved slightly, as if waiting for the imminent death.

A-Ka was trembling even for breathing, and his knife was placed next to Li Bur's ear, unable to cut it.

"Do it." Dad said indifferently: "The medical robot will follow your actions exactly. When you take out the A01 chip, the central processing terminal of 77023E will also be cut open by you."

Even Heishi didn't speak at this moment, he looked at Fei Luo silently, his eyes were red.

"Aka... Black Stone." Fei Luo said, "Don't be sad, as a copy life form, I am willing to bear this fate..."

A-Ka closed his eyes, tears could not stop sliding down his eyes.

"Do it, kid." Li Boer whispered: "I beg you, this is our mission..."

"I beg you, leave us a place to live." Lieb said.

Fei Luo gritted his teeth, overcame his fear, and said tremblingly, "Aka, why don't you do it?! What are you here for?!"

A-Ka closed his eyes tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Take care of Paixi for me..." Fei Luo said, "Don't tell him how I died, tell 70174A about this..."

Father said in a cold voice: "Zoroaster, you finally understand that human emotions are meaningless to evolution."

At the end of the distant time tunnel, thousands of flowers of light bloom here.

In the afternoon of Dragonmaw City, the warm golden sun shone in the garden, Paixi sat silently on the swing, and the breeze blew through the garden.Moran stood by the pond and sprinkled the fish feed into the pond.

"Uncle Moran." Pai Xi suddenly said softly, "You also went to the city of machines in the past, right?"

"Yeah." Moran nodded with a smile on his lips.

"Can you tell me, did they all come back safely?" Pai Xi raised his head, still covered with a white cloth, and asked.

"Paissy." Moran said solemnly, "The past and the present are two completely different time axes. The past of the past and the past of the present do not constitute a causal relationship."

"Yes." Pai Xi said seriously, "But I still want to know... I always feel nervous."

Moran was silent for a moment, and then said, "They're all back, they're all back safely."

"Thank you." Patsy smiled softly.

The city of machinery, the control room of the storm mothership.

"Do it!" Fei Luo shouted hoarsely with tears in his eyes and red eyes, "What are you waiting for! You coward!"

A-Ka closed his eyes, and cut the knife into Li Buer's ear, Fei Luo let out a painful cry.

Black Stone said: "Replicants are not tools, they are the first to rise up against you, Labelle."

The blue light spun back, and Black Stone replied: "You have failed. The life forms you created have already surpassed you. They have strength and faith, and humans have wisdom and emotion. Both groups have evolved successfully. The work is the masterpiece of God the Father."

As Li Buer's brains and blood gushed out, Fei Luo let out a painful cry, gritted his teeth and looked up at the sky, his eyes gradually lost their luster, Aka cried and took out Li Buer's chip.

"My life will definitely continue...in the lives of my brothers..." After Fei Luo finished speaking the last sentence, his pupils gradually dilated and his chest glowed red.

Heishi turned around, hugged Aka and threw himself, and then Feiluo blew himself up. He turned into a fireball at a height of thousands of miles, and instantly blasted a hole in the top of the tower. The flames roared across the bridge, and Aka's hands were covered with Drenched in blood, pinching Li Boer's chip, the entire giant mothership broke and tilted slowly.

"Grab it!" Heishi opened the black gold feathers, at this moment, father directed the light energy cannon towards the bridge area, and fired a shocking cannon.

Heishi's wings spread out in an instant, becoming a shield to protect the two of them, blocking the impact power and fire. However, the energy of that cannon was raging, and the bridge part was smashed to pieces. Heishi could no longer resist this powerful force. , Guang Yu was instantly defeated and flew away.

A-Ka quickly slid out of the tilting hull, the chip was released, and the two flew off the ship together.

The flow of time was almost frozen, the sound of explosions, heat waves, and sharp metal roaring and lasing criss-crossed. Aka's eyes reflected the energy pool released by the hull, and all the mechanical structures were dismantled in an instant within his vision. He took out the screwdriver and threw it towards the energy pool in the distance. It got stuck in the shell, and then the energy pool exploded.

The screwdriver flew over and hit the chip, shining golden light. The bloody chip swirled in the air, changed the falling trajectory, flew towards A-Ka, and landed in his hand. close, holding on to it tightly.

A-Ka fell rapidly, with the sound of the wind, and the black stone shot from the side and hugged him suddenly. A-Ka pressed the remote control, and K spewed out propulsion flames during the fall, rushed towards the two, and then connected them. The cabin, with the lid closed, is pitch black.

Everything is over, Aka thought wearily.

Father's tower broke off and fell to the ground, and the light cannons began to shoot into the air. Immediately afterwards, the crashed storm mothership had a second big explosion, and the blow-up of the main energy furnace almost destroyed the entire core area. In the raging fire, K rushed out of the mechanical city and flew into the sky covered in flames.

Heavy snow fell under the dark sky, with burning embers in the snow, and the plain stretched as far as the eye could see. In the cold wind and snow, K stood tall on the ground, his whole body covered with snowflakes.

A-Ka knelt on the ground, Black Stone hugged him tightly, let A-Ka lean on his shoulder, choked up silently.

The Tsar limped over with the arm of the grizzly bear on his shoulders. Everyone was silent and looked at the chip in A-Ka's hand quietly.

"I heard that the life of a replicant has no individual." The Tsar whispered: "They are more like the same person, a powerful life united by a group."

"That's why there are so many replicants in the war, and they are going forward for the future of the group." Grizzly said in a deep voice: "After returning, it is time to talk to Angus about the future of this group."

A-Ka burst into tears, unable to restrain his grief, Heishi let out a long breath and said, "Let's go to the rendezvous place."

Aka's expression was completely in a trance. He fell asleep and woke up during the journey. In the dream, his hands were covered with blood. However, Fei Luo didn't blame him. He just patted his head and said, "Good job!" , Aka, I'm proud of you."

When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived outside the ancient heart, in the center of the basin, where a small spaceship was parked.Moran is using a communicator to contact the clone headquarters and inform them of the outcome of the war. Not surprisingly, the clone revolution failed.

Beside him, surrounded by several replicants, A-Ka stood in the basin with red eyes.

"It seems that Colonel Feiluo has not returned." Mo Lan said, "These are the friendly army partners who saved me from the city of machinery."

The clones glanced at each other, and Moran introduced A-Ka and the others to them. A-Ka just nodded, and Grizzly told him what had happened, and A-Ka remained silent.

"Who is 70174A?" Heishi asked.

A clone raised a hand and said, "I am, my name is Karna."

Black Stone explained Fei Luo's last last words, and that last word was not finished. Several people were silent for a moment, and Moran said: "Wait a while, I need to let the ring store enough energy..."

"Can I help you?" Karna suddenly said, "The current Fei Luo is still alive, should you tell him..."

"No." Moran said, "This is not a good idea, Major Karna."

Karna pondered for a moment, and then said: "I can replace Fei Luo. If all this is true, Fei Luo should still be on the way to escape."

"What... what?" Aka asked in disbelief.

Karna said: "Filo and I were made in the same batch. We are best friends. I know Pai Xi. Since several years ago, I rescued Pai Si from that village with him. I know What does he say when he's with Patsy."

"This..." A-Ka said, "But Fei Luo is already dead."

"Our chips are connected." Karna pointed to his head and said, "I can call up all his backup memories from his database."

Moran glanced at Karna and said, "What about your identity?"

"Let's say I sacrificed." Karna said: "I will continue his mission for Fei Luo, otherwise no one will take care of Pai Xi, and he will be very lonely."
