I'm trapped in a cube

"Team leader, I'm ready."

"Then go ahead and act natural and don't make people suspicious."

"clear……"

Hu Le was pushed out of the conference room by the team leader.

Standing outside the door, a gust of cool wind blew, and Hu Le sighed.

Although he is obviously the youngest member of the research team, he has shouldered a heavy burden that he should not bear.

"Why did this happen to me again?"

He wrapped himself in clothes, hoping that the cool breeze would blow on him so that he wouldn't be so cold.

But when his hand slid through his coat pocket, he touched something hard.

"What's this?"

He took the thing out of his pocket doubtfully.

Black, like a worn-out USB flash drive...

…

"Team leader."

"Why are you back so soon?"

"this……"

Hu Le handed over the permission tool with a dull look on his face.

Just as the team leader was about to ask, he was confused when he saw what was in Hu Le's hand.

"Didn't you just go out?"

"I have no idea."

"Where did you get it?"

"I have no idea."

"..."

The team leader looked at Hu Le who didn't know anything about it, and was a little speechless. He reluctantly took the permission tool, and then patted Hu Le on the shoulder: "Don't stay up late all the time in the future, it will hurt your brain."

"No, team leader, this has nothing to do with staying up late..."

"Stop talking, as long as the task is completed." The team leader interrupted Hu Le's defense, took the permission tool and walked towards the main electronic screen of the conference room.

Hu Le stood there, scratched his head, and rummaged through his pockets.

"Why is that thing in my pocket?"

"When did I get it?"

He looked at the unfinished Coke in his hand, then looked at his pocket, and suddenly had a guess.

"That thing is also from twenty years later?"

The stains on the outer shell seemed to have appeared after it had been stored for a long time, and there was also a slight moldiness around the edges. In retrospect, this is indeed possible.

If Coke is used for early warning, then what is this permission tool used for?

"What do you want me to check with that thing?"

Hu Le came to the team leader curiously.

"Team leader, I have something to tell you."

"Wait until I finish checking." The team leader was focused on looking at the screen and had no time to chat with him.

Hu Le could only swallow his words and watched the team leader start the operation...

…

Soon after, the conference room fell silent.

"It's true, Mengdu is really a prison."

The development plan on the screen is clearly written.

These researchers are just prisoners with "special talents", and the purpose of Mengdu is to trap them here.

The security robots they created are "prison guards" to guard them.

"how so?"

No one present could accept this fact.

Their entire robot research team spent countless efforts to make security robots...

When they first received this project, they were full of enthusiasm.

"An unprecedented robot, with dream energy as its core, guarding the safety of the entire Dream City."

Most of these researchers do not have strong combat capabilities. When they came to the fifth level of the abyss, many of them came with the exploration team. Looking at those powerful combatants, they often felt envious in their hearts.

"It would be great if I also had such great power."

It is a pity that human society has a division of labor. Some people are responsible for fighting, while others are responsible for scientific research.

They were protected in the rear and had to fulfill their duties.

However, scientific research often does not yield immediate benefits, and in the long-term abyss life, they often feel that they are "inferior".

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

That’s why they were so excited when they got the project.

“Finally a chance to make a difference.”

It is no longer about studying how to grow potatoes in eternal night, or studying how to calculate the trajectory of an empty island... but about truly being able to create "power" and create capital for human beings to gain a foothold in the abyss.

At that time, almost everyone in their improvised team had put down their bold ambitions to create a robot that was more powerful and advanced than any existing robot.

Once this kind of robot is put into use, it can take over the security work of Mengdu, allowing those humans who have been protecting Mengdu to retire.

They have been working hard to achieve this goal during the project.

All efforts are aimed at creating this kind of machine that "protects humans".

Dream Qi is not a material that is easy to control, and human research on it is only at the primary stage. Other research departments cannot share information with them due to confidentiality reasons, so they can only study the characteristics of Dream Qi by themselves.

Turning dream gas into a machine is something that has never been done before. The robotics research team used their pure ideals to support them and overcome bottlenecks one after another. In the process of trying the dream gas formula, they even sacrificed several team members. member.

Dream energy is powerful and dangerous. To realize your ideal, sacrifice is inevitable.

After the grief, they worked harder, not only to give an explanation to the residents of Mengdu, but also to give an explanation to the sacrificed companions.

Finally, with unremitting efforts, they finally built the first machine.

The results of their ideals were praised by the top management.

The prototype was exactly the same as they had originally envisioned.

Under the plain black appearance, there was almost unlimited potential.

The dream energy gave this machine unlimited possibilities. From the moment it appeared, it began to evolve endlessly.

The reason for this is that the robot team took a tricky approach when making the prototype.

They set a convergence condition for the dream energy on the robot, which is also the only convergence condition:

"Become a material that continues to evolve for the future of mankind."

This prototype carries the dreams of the entire team and will eventually become something they can't imagine.

As for what it will become...

"Let the dream play itself out. When we dream, we don't know what the dream will become."

The team leader at the time looked at the prototype and said with expectation.

All team members also have the same expectations.

Many years later, this machine may really become the existence that creates the future of mankind, even though it is now just a "black" piece of iron.

This prototype made of dream energy carries the dreams of the entire team. They hope that this prototype can become more and more brilliant like a dream.

Even if they leave, these robots carrying dreams can continue to shine and take their dreams far away.

But now, their dreams are broken...

"This is not a dream."

The team leader muttered blankly. He was the most idealistic person in the entire research group. When the dream was broken, he was also the most hurt.

Hu Le looked at him worriedly and found that his eyes, which had always been shining, had become dim and dull. The whole person seemed to have aged many years in an instant...
