Break free from the base where Leo's former comrades are kept, and return to the surface filled with the smell of metal and gunsmoke. The two of them silently stared at the previously defeated steel behemoth and the base, which had not been shown to have any man-made objects at all in appearance for hundreds of years, and did not make a sound for a long time.

Leo...... Do you think that just a second-generation reformer from more than a hundred years ago can really ...... Do you do what you imagined, change the world that has made so many lives desperate? ”

The news of the spiritual detection feedback that spreads outward through the heart-seeking doppelganger may be worse than Leo's past and himself about the fact that under the management of a large quantum computing system, people are forced to live under constant surveillance, forced labor, and forced reproduction according to genetic pairing. In the past, under the effective management of GRCS, people were at least able to have enough food to nourish themselves, and they also had a calculated and precise living space without being attacked by the cold and heat. Now, more than 100 years later, the civilization that Leo once fought for has fallen into an era when it is difficult to feed a large number of people even if he is budget-conscious, and Leo's comrades-in-arms, who have survived from a hundred years ago to the present, have taken the initiative to eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, reduce the cost of food and clean water, and ensure that people in their prime and early age continue to survive.

"I know...... Civilization has fallen into a severe energy shortage, and the atmosphere has been heavily polluted by years of large-scale wars, making it difficult for crops to grow in the natural environment...... However, to break the current sad situation, as long as there is an energy source that can replace the use of the past, then ...... This civilization can be revitalized......"

When Leo mentions new energy. The first thing that came to mind was the miniature cold-core fusion furnace that Leo and others had installed in their bodies—an energy source that was claimed to be enough to supply small towns for daily use, even if they were used for hundreds of years. It's just that. At present, the level of science and technology has greatly deteriorated in human society, and it may still be able to master a lot of technologies related to exoskeleton armor and human transformation because of the need for self-protection, but the rapid development of space exploration technology that is only fully supported in peacetime no longer exists. Even the flying machines that move above the atmosphere have become rare objects. It is impossible to obtain the raw materials necessary for cold nuclear fusion, which is abundant in the lunar soil above the atmosphere.

"So, I've adjusted the operation of the entire planet so that the planet itself is moving towards hedron energy...... Perhaps the current situation can be contained. ”

"Crystal Energy? Are you referring to the fact that because of the energy surplus of the planet itself, some kind of energy crystallization is formed on the surface of the earth for human use? Generally speaking, in a world where civilization is more prosperous with the development of science and technology, the planet itself will not capture energy from the universe on its own, and it is naturally impossible to form energy crystals on the surface of the star...... It seems that Leo is planning to transform the planet you once lived on the mysterious side...... Is there no other way, such as using dreams and other ways to hand them over cutting-edge energy technology? ”

“…… I'm afraid it's too late. And given the near-depleted resources on the planet at the moment, unless I hand over to them a finished product of a technology-belt that is far beyond their existing technology and can be called black technology, I am afraid that there will be no time to research and produce the finished product in any other way. ”

After receiving Leo's answer, Xunxin also expressed regret about it. To put it bluntly, spar energy is actually formed on the surface of the earth that can be converted by mechanical equipment, which has several times or even dozens of times the amount of extractable energy compared with high-energy batteries of the same volume. The energy crystals that Leo made for the civilization he once guarded were specially adjusted in terms of extraction, in other words, the humans of this civilization now want to use the energy rich in the energy crystals. This can only be done with the technology that Leo has put into civilization.

However, if the solution to the energy crisis were to be directly communicated to all the upper echelons of humanity, there would be no doubt that humanity, which had lost the limits of energy shortage, would once again create a large number of weapons and begin to annihilate the many autonomous AI machines around the gathering place. After that, because of the existence of a large number of weapons left after the war. People who grew up in the flames of war and the smoke of gunfire are best at not negotiating, but speaking directly by force. The inevitable war will be ignited by the struggle for territory, and the already insane humanity will be completely wiped out. Therefore......

"I needed to find someone who could hold my will. Humanity wants people to get information about new energy sources. And...... It needs a strong enough combat power to protect the strong man who represents the hope of mankind, enough to overwhelm the combat power of any human and GRCS creation at this stage. And ......"

Leo's gaze seemed to pierce the heavily polluted, earthy yellow clouds. Seeing Tris, who was ruthlessly handling the old man under the maintenance of the machine, the fingertips of unknown metal pierced deep into the palm of the hand that even the Star Destroyer might not be able to hurt.

"After all...... Tris is mine. The most important and closest comrade-in-arms in the past. At the very least, I hope he dies at the hands of me or another teammate, and not because of a riot or a machine that can't sustain life......"

Whether it is in the search for the heart or in the discovery of Leo, Tris, who is thousands of miles away and covered in steel parts, is weakening, and the aura of life is about to be shattered like an old man who is over his prime. Whether it is a second-generation or third-generation modified, they are used to drive key parts of the body or to transplant the brain in the head or body. Since it is still the human brain, there is still a limit to the arrival of the human brain. With the improvement of technology and the continuous maintenance of drugs, although Tris has survived in the harsh living environment for nearly 200 years, the limit of his lifespan is still approaching.

"That's why I will wake up my former friend, if he is still the one I know, he will definitely go, to stop the friend who has gone astray due to environmental factors, and to cut off the continuous pain of human society for a hundred years......"

Sighing to the sky, Leo's gaze returned to his current friend, Xunxin.

"This can be regarded as a little help for you, and I also want to know what you will do if one day, you see that the world you protect has become hopeless."

The two looked at each other and smiled......

'No matter what becomes of the civilization from which I was born, I will do my best to rekindle the flame of civilization, which is the Infinite Apostle...... )
