People in American comics start abstracting from template capabilities

UEP - Pacific Site Base [Titanic] Central Laboratory

As a technical expert on the winning team, Masami Horii was staring seriously at the black metal octahedron on the experimental table.

The joystick in his hand moved slowly, and the two robotic arms on the experimental platform began to rotate.

A piece of gravel with a large number of obscure and complex runes etched on the surface was grabbed by the mechanical arm and slowly approached the metal octahedron fixed in the center.

Everyone in the laboratory held their breath and stared quietly at the experimental table isolated by reinforced resin glass.

It seemed that in the next moment, some shocking scene would happen.

After the robot arm brought the piece of gravel into contact with the metal octahedron,

But there was silence, nothing happened.

Masami Horii, who was in charge of the control, took a long breath, frowned again, and murmured to himself,

"We have tried [UEP-005 Obelisk] to conduct contact experiments on this thing, but there is still no change..."

"What on earth is this?"

Beside him, Yasumi Norui also stood up, pushed up his glasses, and spoke in a deep voice,

"We tested the material composition that makes up this thing, and it doesn't seem to belong to any alloy material in the world today."

"But through the texture patterns etched on its surface and comparing it with the global database, we still found some clues..."

"Perhaps there have been similar existences for millions of years, or even longer."

"After researching and comparing some bronze vessels with ancient graffiti on stone walls, we have discovered some similarities..."

Some couldn't hold back their doubts, and Hirogu Nagano, the important discoverer of [UEP-013] this time, asked,

"Then what should we do?"

"I always feel...this thing is a bit strange."

"I don't know why, but that image appeared once before, and then it didn't appear again."

"A new storm has emerged... Just a bond... What does it mean!?"

The questions that Nagano Boko raised one after another also made people in the laboratory fall into deep thought.

After all, if it weren’t for the recorder built into the tactical helmet that clearly recorded all of this,

They could hardly believe what Nagano Hakugu said, a ghost-like shadow appeared, as if to convey some important message.

At this moment, the door of the base laboratory slowly opened, and Hui Hui, the captain of the victory team, walked in with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a figure following behind him.

Everyone turned to look, their eyes full of doubts.

"Who is this? Why is the captain bringing a stranger with him?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her side, Hui Jian raised her hand and pointed at the figure behind her,

"Let me introduce to you, this is the ancient civilization scholar invited by the organization, Professor Masaki Keigo."

Hearing the captain's words, Horii Masami suddenly became excited.

He happened to be worried about the research progress of [UEP-013], and the arrival of this professor was undoubtedly an added advantage.

At this moment, Masaki Keigo, Link to be precise, slowly walked out from behind Megumi,

He pushed up the ordinary-looking black-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose and introduced himself to everyone with a smile:

"Masaki Keigo, thirty-seven years old, professor of archeology."

Such a personal and special self-introduction naturally made some people in the venue look askance.

It's just that Nagano Hirogu always has an inexplicable feeling that the "Masaki Keigo" in front of him always looks a little weird when he looks at him.

It's like looking at a figure, but there is a trace of pride in his eyes?

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

But soon, Nagano Hirogu threw away the messy thoughts in his mind.

Link also quickly walked to the experimental table, put on his lab coat and isolation gloves, and gently picked up the metal octahedron.

With a serious face and determination in his eyes, he began to look at the items in his hands carefully.

Although the things in front of me are "performance props" that I hand-kneaded bit by bit and were produced and processed by STC standard construction templates.

But Link still pretended to play with it for a while.

During the long wait, everyone did not show any impatience. Instead, they began to admire Link's serious attitude.

He worked so hard on the first day and devoted his body and mind to research work. What a hard-working person he is!

Just when Norui Yasumi was about to open his mouth to comfort Link, he didn't have to worry.

Link's finger seemed to "accidentally" touch a special mechanism of the metal octahedron.

The metal octahedron suddenly flashed with dazzling blue light in the gaps on its surface.

The blue light outlines a shadowy figure wearing a white robe, whose face cannot be seen clearly.

At this moment, Nagano Hirogu also confirmed that everything he had encountered on the desert island before was true.

Link's face was full of doubts and surprises. He didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly trigger the mechanism and activate the metal octahedron.

The white-robed figure raised its head, but seemed to have gained consciousness and spoke in a mechanical voice,

"Hello, humans 30 million years in the future."

"?"

Hearing this sentence, people in the laboratory were shocked.

Did humans already exist 30 million years ago?

Did humans already possess such advanced technology at that time?

Thick doubts filled their minds, but before they could ask questions, the white-robed figure continued,

"You may call me: Gandalf,"

"We have successfully sealed the terrifying "Devil" and his dark minions, but it is only a matter of time before they break the seal and reappear."

"In order to prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes and making unforgivable mistakes, we created the [Gaia Memory], which is what you see now."

"It will preserve a piece of artificial intelligence based on our soul consciousness as the basic framework to provide you with answers."

Nagano Hirogu looked on blankly, while Megumi Nakama was the first to discover the crux of the problem. She asked doubtfully,

"What will happen if the seal is broken?"

"The devil will come to this land again, endless darkness will cover the planet again, death and pain will become the main theme, and all life will be in ruins,"

"The remaining humans may be able to survive, but they can only live in the dark underground."

Hearing the words of the white-robed shadow, everyone looked at each other with dull eyes as if they were in another world.

Why is the end of the world suddenly coming! ?

Gritting his teeth, Nagano Hirogu directly asked the question that was tangled in his heart.

"Then how should we deal with the "Devil"! Are we just waiting to die?!"

The white-robed "Gandalf" slowly spoke,

"Of course there is a way,"

"That is the prophesied savior, a visitor from outside the world, a stranger from a foreign land."

"The only way to solve the apocalyptic disaster is to let... Link turn into light!"

"Light is a bond, passed down from generation to generation."
