Start with Mechanical Hunter

Tick ​​was stunned. She had imagined many results. The Cyber ​​Killer would investigate, but the Cyber ​​Killer refused to investigate, but she did not expect that it was for this reason.

In cyberspace, her information is far better than that of ordinary players. She has heard about the mid-term plot of corporate war, but she did not expect that the battlefield is actually in cyberspace!

"So, what you are saying is that the death of AI and the destruction of the world are within the scope allowed by the Mother City?" Tick said with difficulty.

"yes."

Gao Gong's answer broke Dida's last thoughts, and she stood up in despair, preparing to leave.

"Where are you going?" Gao Gong suddenly asked.

"I am not sure."

The senior engineer stood up, looked at the other person, and sighed in his heart. He hadn't seen him for many years, but he was still the same, with a cold face and a kind heart.

If he is from the chaotic camp, then Ticka Girl is the standard good side of order. In jargon, she is a plot-oriented player.

During this period of time in cyberspace, she must have been favored by many "subconscious fragments", and she didn't want these memories and obsessions to disappear like this.

Otherwise, as a player, if something like this happens to her, she can just pat her butt and leave.

The senior engineer changed his voice and said, "However, I do have some things I want to investigate. Please come with me."

Tick ​​was stunned for a moment, and then with a 'ding' sound, he received a mission.

[Investigation of the Holy City]

Difficulty: Level 2-Easy

Mission briefing: Mr. G discovered that behind the difference engine, there is an energy circuit that does not belong to this era. The true body of the Holy Spirit may have a greater secret. The destruction of Tyria was not accidental.

Mission goal: Find more energy circuits

Mission reward: experience +50,000, Mr. G’s favorability +100, clues to the hidden mission

‘Difference engine energy loop? ’

Tick ​​was stunned and looked down at the dismantled differential engine. There were a lot of copper wires, copper tubes, and gears. As for the base, it was a prototype chassis similar to an 'old-fashioned disc player'.

There are a lot of "religious patterns" on the chassis, such as holy spirits, sacred symbols, religious patterns and the like.

"Huh?"

Tick ​​also discovered something was wrong. She tentatively touched it with her hands. The next moment, starting from her fingertips, a blue data stream spread all over her body. Finally, Tick disappeared and was replaced by a human-shaped data body with an intermediate level. The unique intelligent circuit of AI is like weaving a piece of clothing with code.

"This is--"

"This is an energy loop," Gao Gong said: "The data will show its original shape when it is interfered with by energy."

I asked how this difference engine can break through the limitations of materials. It turns out that it is imprinted with energy circuits, which directly enhances the computing power.

So the question is, how can this kind of energy circuit be created with the level of technology shown in this subconscious world?

To light up pure energy technology, you have to be at least a second-level civilization.

"Let's go to the inner city."

At first, Gao Gong just wanted to help a group of good friends from her previous life and dig out clues about the ‘Cyber ​​Testing Ground’ from her.

But now, Gao Gong has a new interest in this world.

Dida was stunned for a moment, wasn't he unwilling to take action? Why did he change his mind again?

The Holy City is divided into the inner city, the outer city, and the suburbs. Although the store where the 'Cyber ​​Killer' is located is in the outer city, it is actually very close to the inner city, so the business is extremely developed, with various ancient and advanced, punk and medieval storefronts. , a differential engine shop, a steam matchlock shop, a steam carriage shop, a gear armor shop, a metal prosthetic shop, you name it. It is said that in the circle of beautiful women, the most popular one is a beauty treatment called 'steam therapy'.

To put it simply, high-temperature steam mixed with anesthetic mist is used to smoke the human face until it is half cooked, and then some small gear machines are implanted for cosmetic transformation.

"What do you know about the Holy City of Tyria?" On the way, the senior engineer suddenly asked.

Dida thought for a while and said: "It is the core of the first punk revolution and the spiritual holy land of the future 'divine land'. According to normal historical development, its productivity is the most likely to light up the second punk revolution. However, A fire destroyed the Holy City, but instead allowed the Pan-Asian region to take the lead and establish an empire that ruled the world with modified humans."

"After the destruction of the Holy City, the large and small countries established on this continent are all inextricably linked to it. In order to unite, the future coalition will define this place as a Holy Land. Every year, the Rulers of large and small alliances will go here to worship and hold banquets in the Holy City."

"Well, so the key lies in this fire," Gao Gong nodded and continued to ask: "What do you know about the ruler of the Holy City?"

"The Holy City is a country that unites politics and religion, but its teachings are very strange. There is no specific god, nor is there a single Lord. Instead, there are various kinds of Holy Spirits, and the birth of each Holy Spirit means something. The emergence of a scientific and technological achievement, such as the difference engine, and the Holy Spirit 'Babbage' who was born together with it, is one of the most powerful Holy Spirits."

"So, as a religious city, this holy city not only does not hinder the development of science and technology, but it is also able to plant technology trees?"

Dida glanced at Gao Gong strangely. Perhaps from her perspective, it felt a bit strange for an NPC to talk about technology trees all the time.

"Oh, here we are."

From a long distance, you can hear the heavy turning of gears on the wall. The inner city wall is more technological and is almost completely covered with large and small gears. It is more like a huge giant than a city wall. Geared engine.

"You two stop!"

Two metal soldiers blocked their way. This kind of metal soldiers not only wore heavy knight armor, but also had the faint sound of gears turning inside their bodies.

Name: Holy Soldier

Race: Cyborg

Level: 15

HP: 120/120

Physical value: 700/700

Mechanical energy: 700

Skills: Holy Sword (Intermediate), Matchlock Mastery lv3

Although the attributes are quite poor, this is the Middle Ages. The two soldiers guarding the city have similar attributes to the cannon fodder of the Knights. This is indeed a bit exaggerated.

"Are you not a believer in the Holy Spirit? Get out of here, or do you want to go to the guillotine?" a holy soldier threatened.

"Well, okay, is that what you said?"

Gao Gong flicked his chin, and his head jumped out from his neck. In the horrified eyes of the two, Gao Gong stepped forward and thrust his hands into their armor. A large amount of red fluid came from the gap. Deep into the whole body, within three breaths, as the skilled worker pulled out the knife, the two soldiers disappeared, replaced by two replicas of the rich woman's Ai Ai prototype.

Although the account is borrowed, the ability of cyber killers cannot be faked. The current senior engineers are standard red wing killers, the kind that are established in the deep network.

"Let's go," the three rich lady love prototypes said at the same time.
