Start with a Mechanical Hunter

   Chapter 71 Mechanical Ape-Man

   Even in the universe, there are as many civilizations as stars, and carbon-based civilization still occupies a major mainstream.

   Considering the other three types, mechanical life, information life, and energy life are not very like 'human', at least they are material life.

   So there is another saying that carbon-based life represents the original life of all planets and is the source of all things.

   But people can't be arrogant, let alone feel that the carbon-based family is a family.

  Because the carbon-based life that has entered the interstellar space is not necessarily born of ape-man, it is not necessarily a primate, or even a mammal.

  Don't have too many strange and wailing alien beings.

   Therefore, to popularize LSP aesthetics, Mr. G in the previous life is bound to.

   But what appeared in front of the senior engineer was indeed a humanoid creature.

  It has four limbs, and the palms on its hands and feet show obvious signs of degeneration.

   The facial features are a little scary, like a fat head fish was flattened by a hammer, and its nostrils are the size of coins.

   As for the hair, it is between the tentacles of the octopus and the nerve bundles.

  Du Zhaodi touched his arm subconsciously and retreated behind Gao Gong.

  The ponytail girl doesn't dislike mechanical transformation. She thinks it's a way to increase masculinity, but this slimy, odd-shaped thing makes her hairy.

  The senior worker lowered his head and studied, there was an obvious blood hole on the other side's chest, and the surface was dried green pulp.

   Strangely, he didn't find the other's reproductive organs, not even genital holes.

   Is it a clone product?

  The senior engineer found a 'nameplate' from the other side's waist.

  ‘Life Form 3151’

   There is a line on the reverse side——

  ‘Blue Water Technology’

  Gong Gao's face became serious, not because of these two lines, but because there was a pattern above 'Blue Water Technology'. In the icon, a huge robot covered the sky and the sun.

   This is one of the three mother cities, the symbol of Cybertron.

   Standing on the entire planet, above the hundreds of mechanical cities, are the three major mother cities, each of which has a planet-level host, and is the agent of advanced civilization in this 'cyber test ground'.

   And every company is proud of receiving outsourcing projects from the mother city.

   And this 'Cybertron logo' is a 'mechanical logo', indicating that this 'ocean man' is an outsourcing project of the mother city.

   "Did you create man?"

  Senior engineers know that one of the main tasks given by the advanced mechanical civilization to the three mother cities is to create humans.

  Only when there is a 'smart life' can a social ecology above life be born.

   Among them, the 'Deep Web' has created a large number of AI life that roams in the cyber network. This is not an artificial mental retardation supported by algorithms, but an electronic life body with personality, emotion and memory.

   This kind of electronic life has completed the five elements of AI evolution.

   Self-replication, self-management, self-healing, moderate evolution, and deep learning.

  'Fortress' has cultivated a group of androids, with billions of androids living, multiplying, and self-iterating in the mother city.

   The prototype of a civilized ecology has taken shape.

   This is also why the importance of human beings has become less and less after the war, and only a small number of human elites can enter the mother city.

   There is only 'Cybertron', in the player's mind, this is the only planetary master whose 'KPI' fails to meet the standard.

   But the senior engineers don’t think so. The three major mother cities have cooperation and competition, and each civilization system is not isolated.

   Their ultimate purpose, or the ultimate mission of the Cyber ​​Proving Ground, no one knows what it is, because no one has "passed" the game.

   After the tide of cyberspace erupted and became irreversible, the entire planet was swallowed up by the black hole weapons of advanced civilization.

  The senior worker touched his chin, at least a little sure.

  ‘Cybertron’ is also creating human beings, and the reason why the human creation plan has not been successful is definitely one of the external factors.

"What's wrong?"

   Seeing that the senior engineer didn't move, Du Zhaodi couldn't help asking.

   "I was thinking that if we could create humans in advance, we might be able to seize the opportunity."

   Now, it was Du Zhaodi's turn to stop talking.

The senior engineer was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look, only to see that the ponytail girl's face was flushed, her eyes were flickering, her calm and capable aura was lost for the most part, and she muttered and said some topsy-turvy words, what 'career is important' , 'The baby is cute', 'Everyone is still young', 'But it's not impossible'.

The    senior engineer reacted immediately, coughed dryly, and said nonchalantly, "Just kidding, keep exploring."

  Du Zhaodi's staring boss, two words flashed in his mind - scumbag!

  …

   Three groups entered the fog for about five minutes before one group was attacked.

   "The exoskeleton was damaged, but it was not serious. The opponent's weapon was a metal spear, which pierced a small hole in my armor. The power was equivalent to a large-caliber sniper bullet."

  The voice of an exoskeleton warrior came from the walkie-talkie.

   However, at the next moment, Gao Gong's expression froze, his palm instantly turned into a 'bloodthirsty hook', and he swept forward sharply. With a sound of '台', a black spear was slanted on the ground not far away.

  A dark shadow flashed away not far away.

   "Want to run!"

  The senior engineer flicked his wrist, and the monomolecular wire directly hooked a big tree, and the senior engineer disappeared instantly.

  'come' looked back, and the distance was empty.

   And 'It''s shoulder suddenly hurt, and a huge pulling force came from the sky.

  The senior worker fell from the sky, his iron knees slammed into the opponent's waist and smashed it to the ground.

   Before the other party could react, a strange claw appeared on the forehead, the metal tearing sound of 'bah ah unpleasant' sounded, and metal sparks rubbed between the two.

  [You deal 27 damage to the Mechanical Servant Species]

  Mechanical servant species?

  The senior engineer was stunned for a moment, and the other palm grabbed the opponent's neck subconsciously.

   And the other party also stared blankly at the senior engineer's 'bloodthirsty hook', and hurriedly gestured.

   "You mean, you are the servant of those mechanical hunters before?"

   in a moment

   Looking at the 'half-human, half-monkey' that is less than one meter tall and covered in animal skins and metal, the senior engineer asked curiously.

   The other party nodded excitedly, a bunch of electronic components dangling around.

   A mechanical version of the late ape-man.

   "Do you know Lao Sun?"

   Hearing this name, the servant ape-man was even more excited, and he was about to move forward by pulling the corner of the senior worker's clothes.

   "Do you know this monkey?" Du Zhaodi asked curiously.

   "I don't know, but there is an old guy I know."

  The senior engineer looked at the mechanical ape-man and asked, "Can you understand what I said? Do you have a name?"

   The other party is really there, and the monkey wrote three words on the ground in excitement.

   "Friday, nice name."

   "You mean, you recognized me as a group of Lao Sun and the others only when you saw my palm?"

   "Then what's the matter with this fog, is it the weapon of the old generation of mechanical hunters? Interesting."

  With this 'Friday' leading the way, the senior engineer soon came to the real cemetery.

   A very inconspicuous dirt enclosure.

The senior engineer also met the family of 'Friday', a group of late ape-man tribes with a double-digit number. They grind steel bars into weapons. There are also some small forging machines and small generators in the nest. scoop'.

  According to the senior engineer's half-concealed guess, they were "new humans" who were captured by mechanical hunters and taught "fishing and woodworking".

  If all goes well, maybe in a few hundred thousand years, these new robotic Homo sapiens will replace the post-war humans and become the main race of this planet.

   And those classical mechanical hunters may become Prometheus in post-apocalyptic style.

   Of course, all of this is the brain hole of the senior engineers. According to the normal timeline, within three to five hundred years, the planet will be exploded within three years.

   "You mean, all the things left by the old grandson were placed in this dirt enclosure?"

  'Friday' nodded and shook his head, his hands gestured as if he were singing rap.

  The senior engineer looked at it for a while before he understood, "You mean, there is a certain danger in it."

  'Friday' nodded, thought about it, and got into his earthen house again. When he came out, there was an extra thing in his palm, which was a metal apple.

  The senior engineer took over, and the properties were automatically brushed out in the system panel.

  Electric Screening Fruit (Mechanical Creation): After use, it will disperse the energy shielding fog of 3*3 meters, there is a 60% probability of heavy metal poisoning, and an 80% probability of diarrhea

  The senior worker twitched the corners of his eyes. Although he had remodeled his stomach, he didn't want to try his own way. He changed the subject and said, "My companions, can you put them in?"

  'Friday' shook his head vigorously and pointed to the palm of the senior engineer. Probably only the inheritors of the classical mechanical hunters, or in other words, the implanters of biological weapons, can enter.

   No wonder Lao Sun didn't say anything, his biological implant is the best door opener.

  The senior engineer thought for a while, handed the intercom to Du Zhaodi, asked her to wait outside, and walked into the Tuweizi by himself.

   There are simple and rough tombs in the earthen enclosure, and the names are engraved crookedly on the tombstone; fortunately, the quality is not bad, otherwise the bones and scum will be exposed.

   "Old Sun won't let me dig graves one by one."

   Fortunately, the senior engineers quickly discovered the blind spot. Most of the tombs only had names on them, while some graves were marked with some blurred patterns.

   Following the marked tomb, the senior engineer dug up a pile of bio-modification materials.

  [You get the second-level biological modification blueprint [Big Tree Sickle]]

  [You get the second-level biological modification blueprint [Bone Radiation Corpse Armor]]

  [You have obtained the third-level biological modification blueprint [Devil's Horns]]

  [You have obtained the second-level biological modification blueprint [gasoline flame whip]]

  [You have obtained the second-level biological modification blueprint [Electronic Bee Eye]]

  [You have obtained the first-level biological modification blueprint [biological gun]]

  [You have obtained the first-level biological modification blueprint [jet pliers]]

  The senior worker straightened up, dropped the shovel, and brushed the dust off the bottom of his trousers.

  According to the quest prompt, in addition to the blueprints, there should be implantable biological weapons.

   But after so many years, even if there are biological weapons, there should be few that can be used.

  I don't know when, the fog began to thicken and piled up around the tomb, with an inexplicable sense of horror.

  Senior workers know that the danger of 'Friday' is coming.
