Chapter 113: Blocked
Realizing that the relationship between the invading Zerg and the megacity might be more complicated than he expected, Kane felt that he needed to rethink his coping strategy.
His original idea was relatively simple, that is, he had to delay the pace of the Zerg's advancement, and once the control bureau was realized, he had to send his own forces to help him.
But now, we have to consider being a third party, rashly exposing military strength, and there are shortcomings in the background and long-term shortcomings, is it really good?
Of course, such considerations are mainly based on the fact that the acquisition of nanonetwork cloud protoplasma is not smooth enough and requires more time or steps.
At present, it can only be regarded as a rainy day, and I know it, and even a little bit of a ghost. After all, the invasion was relatively smooth, and he had already reached the outer layer of the core area.
This area feels like you've entered a dust-free laboratory from the ruins.
Strong maintenance guarantees make the area exceptionally tidy and even feel new. There is plenty of light, the floor can be illuminated, and the air quality is exceptionally high, even fragrant with plants.
Then, Kane saw the greenery and saw a lot of very life-like settings, block parks, benches, playgrounds, the details are very proper, and the overall style is sci-fi and warm. More than what he saw and heard in Shandal, there was a little more harmony between the artificially and the natural.
But no one.
Huge and empty, lacking in popularity, so that the scenery seems delicate and timeless, overly perfect, and seeing too much, it makes people feel a different kind of horror, like sightseeing in a nuclear test simulation town.
"The scenery that exists for the sake of pleasing people's aesthetics, once there is no one, loses the most crucial charm, becomes unreal, and even loses the meaning of existence......"
Kane was initially a little interested in watching and even learning, but then he simply swept by at high speed, leaving only some soldiers and bees to collect information and enrich the relevant information base.
Anything is too much, and the scenery is the same, and you will get tired of seeing too much, and even disgusted.
Beyond the perfect community block and continuing inward, the expected obstacle emerged.
It's already the heart of a megacity, the environment is more space-leaning, gravity is less than 0.1g, and the most troublesome thing is that a fully enclosed high-powered field ball is in Kane's way.
He originally thought that there would be a stable channel, such as a void bridge or something connecting the inside and outside, but in fact it was not, the silver energy was extremely stable, and he could hardly feel the flow, like a super huge stainless steel ball, which could be used as a convex lens.
You can't look at it directly, you can't perceive it.
Kane can't even use brute force to forcibly crack it, it's not that he doesn't dare, but the success is not high, the scale of energy represented by this force field ball is too huge, with his current situation, he wants to win head-to-head, it's too face-to-face.
If you don't use your strength, then you can only use your brains.
Kane's first thought was to gather information, such as the legends circulating in the megacity's hordes of human survivors, that might point him in the right direction.
In addition, the high tightness of the force field ball also means that either its core communication technology is of the quantum entanglement type, or the control board itself is not in the force field ball.
Either way, for him, it means the direction of solving problems. Cracking the communication technology of the Unified Control Bureau, or simply hacking into the Unified Control Bureau, is an option.
Of course, Kane also arranged another stupid solution to the problem, which was to have the nanoworms fully devour the solid matter on the outer layer of the force field ball.
The main purpose of devouring is to control the 'outer tank' at a critical moment, so that in the internal area bounded by the 'outer tank', there is no instant mass energy conversion through the nano network cloud, which can be regarded as the ability to disintegrate lasting resistance to a certain extent.
It's just that he is reluctant to use this trick until the last moment, after all, the key to achieving the goal is to avoid the self-explosion of the Yingzhou fish in the dead net, not to see who has more power and control.
In order not to be detected by the Control Bureau, the nanoworm devouring must not be too aggressive.
In addition, the total area of the 'outer tank' is more than 200,000 square kilometers, and even if it blooms in many places, the devouring project is very huge.
Kane calculated that even if everything went well, it would take about 50 Earth days.
Therefore, this trick is quite a bit helpless that the water does not quench the thirst of the near. It can only be said that at least it is a solution, anyway, the cost investment is not large, what if it can be used?
So it was finally launched, and it took nearly 10 hours to arrange the nanoworms at various points.
If there is any gain, it is counted as a basic exploration of a high-level livable community.
The latest information gave Kane reason to believe that the area should have been a place for the powerful to live in those days.
Later, the magnates were hacked by the rebel hackers and expelled from the area, where it was neatly organized and waiting for qualified people to move in.
Kane thought it was ironic that such a situation would be a bit ironic. Most of his memories are of humans who are worried that AI is too intelligent and become self-conscious, and then turn into serfs and start a war with its creator.
It's good here, it's the other way around, the AI is too loyal to its duties, and it turns out to be dogmatic, and it also pits its creators don't want it.
After completing the creation and arrangement of the Devouring Proliferative Nanoworm Nest, he teleported out of the high-level livable community and appeared in an automated factory on the 940th floor.
This area was discovered by another soldier bee. After analysis, Kane believes that this was once an integrated production center that was originally part of the outlying residential area.
This production facility is very different from traditional industrial facilities. From the outside, it looks like a super-large artificial aquaculture base.
The approximate estimated area is more than 4 million square meters, such a large span, there are no columns in the whole field, and the view is transparent.
In Kane's eyes, this means that the facility's structure is self-sustaining.
After all, even super alloys have fatigue periods.
The 4 million square meters of inner space, the huge span itself means that there are extremely high requirements for the load-bearing process of the material, not to mention the test of the great power of the years.
In Kane's mind, no material is strong enough to remain in shape for thousands of years over such a vast span without the ability to maintain.
In addition to the analytical and research value of this technology, Kane is also interested in the technology related to print pools.
The main technical support of the printing pool is the molecular-level sequencing creation in the nanonetwork cloud environment.
The nanonetwork cloud itself is a divine artifact born through a series of coincidences under the action of the extraordinary, and even the creator cannot replicate the creation.
Therefore, this kind of pure application-oriented Dongdong is precious, although it is precious, it is still inferior to technical knowledge.
Of interest to Kane was the exclusive equipment of the auxiliary nature of the print pool.
Through it, 'creating things out of thin air' can be more energy-efficient and stable.
In Kane's view, this device adheres to the idea of creating a nano network cloud, and the difficulty of analysis is relatively low. It is a technology that is relatively easy to obtain.
Therefore, in line with the idea that ten birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand, he is willing to spend some effort to acquire this kind of technology.
I know my own situation. He has the technical knowledge that many people think is high in the mountains. However, at least 70% of this knowledge is based on the habit of taking and scavenging.
Among them, the most valuable are ideas and ideas.
This is because the disadvantage of the swarm system, or the disadvantage of the puppet swarm system he walked, is that there is no creativity.
Most of the time, creativity is inseparable from emotional thinking, and it takes enough passion to burst out. And feelings are the main support for independent self.
Therefore, the puppets under his command do not have a truly independent personality not because they are not intelligent enough, but because they have no feelings.
In this context, his R&D team is good at the kind of coolie and mechanical R&D, such as analogies, exclusions, and falsifications that require a lot of time.
That's why good ideas and ideas are a valuable asset.
For example, this nano network cloud, even if he fails to obtain its original body in the end, it does not mean that the operation has completely failed, as long as a certain percentage of relevant information is collected and sent back to his Kaishen Palace, he believes that the strong R&D team under his command, through unremitting efforts, can at least research a low version of it, so that the height of the entire civilization-level huge technology system can be raised.
With this in mind, Kane naturally didn't mind investing more time and energy in analyzing the automated production factory.
To this end, he obtained citizenship rights in the megacity by some means.
In a way, it's not hard to get this qualification, and you don't even need hacking.
But for the human survivors who live in this megacity today, this citizenship is extremely difficult.
If nothing else, just a bloodline certification can't be passed.
This bloodline certification is also very simple, it is a matter of human blood.
But behind it is genetic-level testing.
First of all, it must be pure human beings.
This alone has killed the vast majority of existing human beings. Because they have all changed to varying degrees, or in other words, in order to adapt to the environment, life has been adapting to evolve little by little over a long period of time.
However, the rigid and dogmatic control bureau does not recognize non-standard genetic sequences. This standard was more than 3,000 years ago.
Second, it must be found that the three generations have no political record.
This is the main reason why people lost their basic rights and died in large numbers.
At the beginning, people's violent confrontation led to the more and more harsh regulations issued by the Unified Control Bureau, and this harsh criticism contributed to more and more people who could not bear it and stood up against it. In the end, there was a complete break.
So at that time, the vast majority of people ended up losing their citizenship and suffering from future generations. The Unified Control Bureau even issued special ban regulations for a time, and repeatedly increased the intensity of punishment, such as affecting the seventh and tenth generations, and even completely refusing to accept new citizenship rights.
It is hundreds of years before the impersonal regulations that arose during these special periods gradually diminished over time and were finally repealed.
At that time, the surviving humans of the megacity had basically been reduced to savages, and there were only a handful of people who could use the equipment neatly.
Coupled with the bloodline mutation of the first one, the AI system that once served humans has completely become the role of prison guards.
In the process of saving those little guys before, Kane obtained the genetic data, compared it with what he mastered, and then generated a bionic skin that met the standards, which easily gave the control bureau the green light.
Due to the serious contradiction between the ordinary class and the elite class at the beginning, and the elite class restricted the rights of citizens for safety, Kane could not produce weapons, and even the production of vehicles and other equipment required corresponding credit points.
Fortunately, Kane doesn't have the urgent need for these types of manufacturing, he just needs the print pool to run, and the other is to produce some portable food, after all, he promised the little ones who were rescued that he would bring food on his next visit.
Although he himself can generate food through free ordering at the molecular level, the consumption is too great. It's far less cost-effective than borrowing chickens to lay eggs.
The 30-meter-long printing pool glows like a hoisting elevator that prints out the food.
It looks like a cut boulder in the form of a huge monolith. But in fact, it's just stacked very neatly, and it's already cut.
30 cm long, 5 cm square, strip-shaped, angular with metal-grade hardness, density and quality, one side is lined with five pan-shaped depressions, and the other side has a picture showing how to use it.
The process is to find a pool of clean water, throw it in, and wait for it.
According to the relevant instructions, this kind of food is for prisoners to eat, and the taste is average, but the nutrients required by the human body, including trace elements, are included.
Kane briefly tested it and found that this high-compression food is indeed convenient.
When there is less water, it is easy to preserve pastry, and a large piece of bread about 1 meter square can be produced.
If the proportion of water is higher, it will produce soft and fluffy bread-like food, or cake-like dough food, and the volume can increase to about 8 cubic meters.
A little more water will make a thick soup.
The last type is a soup that resembles a rice batter.
So generally speaking, a person only needs to carry such a one, and there is no need to worry about food when going out for a month, and it needs to be scraped off with a knife and treated with water, so that you can get the type of food you want, and the way to eat is customized.
Kane did a rough math, and felt that just one batch of this food would be enough for the survivors to eat for a while. Therefore, there was no further production, and the metal nanoworms were used to build a cabinet to hold them, and then they were compressed separately using space magic.
After that, they teleported away directly, and reappeared in the village where Takuno and their village were already located. He had previously done his hands and feet on Takuno, which could be used as teleportation coordinates.
At the right time, Takuno and the others were chatting around the physiotherapy cabin.
This device is a tech-oriented product that Kane had previously generated by extraordinary means. Its therapeutic function is actually not powerful, and its main function is to regulate the functions of the person lying in it through the energy field and energy acupuncture. Human-interventionized integration.
It is actually best used to lose weight, burn fat, and turn it into energy for other purposes.
But it can't be used as a rice-free cook, so for the indigenous people whose main lesions are malnourished, the role is nothing more than to tear down the east and make up for the west, and pick up the important ones first.
But even so, it still makes the natives ecstatic, after all, they have a deep understanding of the concept of 'health is a blessing' that ordinary people can't imagine. And the three physiotherapy cabins are simply three health care physicians given away for nothing......
