The Master of the Strange Realm

"I'm taking you there this time as my fiancée. That forest is very interesting. Don't worry about other things. I'm in Nolan now, and I can be considered a very respectable person."

At the same time, he also promised that he would take everyone to visit his home on Privet Drive next week. No matter what happened this time, he would not delay it any longer. He held up his cat and promised.

The next day, Friday morning, Alexia came home before breakfast on St. George Street and had breakfast with Jenkins for the first time in a long time.

After breakfast, the two entered the basement together, and Jenkins called the coachman using the ritual matrix that was not destroyed last time. After the carriage appeared with billowing black smoke, it became clear that two people were riding in the carriage this time, but the destination was the same, so the carriage driver gave a direct quote.

The driver hesitated for a while, and finally gave the price of 4 soul gold or 6 other sin coins. The original price for one person and one cat was 3 or 4.5 coins, which meant that Alexia's extra fare was not much.

Jenkins breathed a sigh of relief, he could still get the money.

Without further ado, they set off immediately. After a boring carriage journey that was not very long, as the carriage stopped, Jenkins knew that they had arrived.

The underground sealed space remained unchanged from the last time she left. After Alexia stepped out of the carriage behind Jenkins, she looked around with interest.

A pillar of light rose from the center of the metal altar, and then the expressionless human face appeared in the pillar of light:

"Savior, you came faster than I expected."

"Will this fix you?"

Jenkins took out the wrench and placed it on the altar without greeting him. Immediately, from the rising light pillar, the arc-shaped light waves spread like a flat metal table, like ripples on the water surface. Instead of passing through the wrench, the light wave leaves its shape on the countertop. Jenkins once again heard the low, mechanical sound coming from the walls, the soil and rock formations under his feet and above his head, and he knew that the other person was measuring the function of the wrench.

"This is the [A4-type arithmetic auxiliary external machine] I mentioned. What we have in front of us is its core and external interactive equipment. The main body should be very large within these walls."

Jenkins introduced to Alexia.

"I like the name 'interactive device'. I find that you have an extraordinary understanding of my principles and structure."

The mechanical voice said, but Jenkins ignored it and asked Alexia, who was looking around:

"How about this? Is there any difference between this and the calculation-assisted machines you studied in the past?"

"This one should be an older model."

Alexia said, her voice sounding happy. She raised her hand, and the blue cube appeared in her hand.

"What's this?"

the mechanical voice asked, but no one answered him.

"All the information I have seen, the ruins and wreckage excavated before I met you last fall, and the machine we defeated in the snowy mountains in winter, all have the characteristics of miniaturization and high intelligence. Such a large machine, Although it matched my assumptions during the first few years of researching these machines, it did not match what I had discovered.”

"Yes, the early computing auxiliary machines were all models that occupied a large area. Later, the machine deep underground got some inspiration from human civilization, and the machines designed and manufactured became smaller. a lot of."

The mechanical voice agreed, and at the same time, the surrounding noises still did not stop, which showed that it could do at least two things at once.

So Jenkins asked it:

"So, you are considered an early model?"

"It's not very early, but it was definitely before the technology of miniaturized machinery was obtained. There is no record of small-scale machinery technology in my database."

So Jenkins asked Alexia again:

"So is it valuable to you?"

"Yes, of course it is valuable. Since it is willing to talk to us, and the database still has some complete information, it will definitely be helpful to me. You go about your business first, and I will talk to it after that. "

The short lady said very understandingly.

After that, Jenkins and Alexia chatted all day long, talking about topics related to ancient mechanical technology. It wasn't until about twenty minutes later that the sound of machinery operating in the surrounding soil and rock formations slowly stopped.

"That's it."

The voice in the metal altar said:

"It's impossible to completely repair me. After all, it can only be repaired, and the parts lost in the long river of time cannot be regenerated. But this wrench is really a pretty good thing, and it simply exists to repair an existence like me. "

"So can a wrench repair that thing in the ground?"

"I don't know the circumstances of the damage, but whatever the case may be, this wrench will at least solve part of the problem. It's a really useful item and I love it."

The main body of the [A4 type calculation-assisted external machine] is in the soil and rocks, and the damaged parts are also in the soil and rocks. But repairing those damaged areas doesn't require Jenkins to painstakingly blast open the walls. All he needed to do was knock the wrench back into action twice at the heart of the machine.

"The appearance of a wrench is not important, what is important is its function. Even if it is a screwdriver, a small hammer, or even a comb. As long as it has the current function, the appearance is not important at all."

The mechanical voice explained.

Jenkins originally planned to leave the work of repairing it to Alexia. He thought this might help Alexia learn more about these things, but since the steps were so simple, he did the physical work himself.

Like last time, a column rose from the center of the metal altar. After the column cracked, the core was revealed suspended in the light.

It was a standard round sphere, but it was hollow as a whole and had complex and exquisite patterns on its surface. There is a calm blue light inside the core. Jenkins can only describe the color as "calm".

The light is very calm, from the inside out, with an ambiguous flickering effect like the breathing frequency. It was so beautiful that Jenkins had to grab his cat. He knew that Chocolate had a soft spot for things of this size that also glowed, such as the former [Orb of Life] and the former luminous orb.

But the cat only looked with his head on his shoulder, not ready to jump up.

"Are you sure you want me to hit it with a wrench?"

Jenkins confirmed it one last time, and the mechanical voice confirmed it again.

Alexia took a step back and looked at Jenkins' nervous look with interest. Jenkins was nervous because he was worried that he would hit the thing too hard and break it. This was the most important source of information at the moment.

"Be careful, I'm going to do it."

Without hesitation, he directly picked up the wrench and struck it. Although the movement range is very large, when it falls, the movement suddenly becomes much more relaxed. At the moment when it touches the core, it is already light and cannot be lighter.

The wrench came into contact with the surface of the core, and as expected, the unique sound of metal collision sounded. But the voice was soft, showing Jenkins' caution.

At the same time, when the wrench comes into contact with the blue light emanating from inside the core, a ripple ripples across the surface of the light layer. Jenkins' heart seemed to be struck, and he suddenly felt something unusual.

To be more precise, when the sound of "dang~" came out, he actually vaguely detected part of the metal structure under the altar by relying on the echo of the sound. This is of course not that he suddenly has stronger hearing. Even if he sleeps with a believer of the God of Music, he will not gain this ability.

This is not even the vision given by the wrench, it is more like he is repairing the machinery, so he perceives the machinery.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Jenkins standing there stunned, Alexia asked.

"You come and give it a try, I think... you come and give it a try."

As he spoke, he handed the wrench to Alexia, who glanced at Jenkins suspiciously, then lifted her feet slightly off the ground and struck the suspended core cleanly, and there was another very clear metal impact sound. If the world can judge the strength of metal by the pleasantness of the sound of metal collision, then the metal used in the core must be the best metal.

Chapter 1870 Chapter 1841 Multi-core and Variables

"Did you feel anything?"

Alexia knocked once and then stopped, so Jenkins asked.

"No... the sound is nice, does it count because the metal is very hard?"

Of course, this was not the answer Jenkins wanted, so he took the wrench again, this time without any control, and hit the beautiful hollow metal ball naturally.

When~

As the sound echoed in the completely enclosed underground cavity, a special feeling appeared in Jenkins' heart again. Not only did he see more aspects of the machine, he also saw the gears meshing in the void, the bearings driving the movable movement, and the metal buckles fixing and binding each other.

When~

There was another sound, and this time, it seemed as if a huge mechanical city appeared in front of you. Chimneys emitting black smoke tower into the sky, and gray layers of buildings stand on the rust-colored land. People were shouting and gears were turning rapidly. The entire city seems to be built on gears, and it seems that the entire city is pieced together by gears and screws.

Jenkins frowned and sniffed, wondering whether what he saw was the future or the past, or just a sudden hallucination.

He endured the throbbing in his heart and hit it again with the wrench in his hand, but this time although there was a sound, there was no reaction at all. At that moment, it seemed as if he was about to sneeze, but the manic mood of being unable to complete the last step made him almost uncontrollable and hit the core hard again.

But he managed to control the mania and annoyance in his heart.

There is a power that is ready to come out, but only the last bit of insight and clarity is missing. He clearly recognized this feeling and clearly understood his thoughts, but he just couldn't find how to do it.

"The wrench has finished repairing me and I don't need to hit it again."

Hearing this voice, Jenkins, holding B-10-5-7204 [Mechanical Repairer], resisted the urge to destroy the thing in front of him, and nodded while holding his breath:

"You're really easy to repair."

"Yes, this wrench is very powerful."

The mechanical voice praised.

At this moment, Jenkins suppressed the emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, rubbed Chocolate's little head, and then asked Alexia:

"Have you had any broken, complicated mechanical parts that need repairing lately?"

"No."

Alexia shook her head and looked at Jenkins' expression:

"What's wrong? You look weird, as if you want to sneeze but can't."

She is indeed the person who knows Jenkins best.

"That's pretty much it. It doesn't matter. I have to repair another very complicated thing on Saturday. If it's still not enough, I can go find it again. Now let's ask the 'gentleman' who accepted the repair. I hope it can give I am satisfied with the answer.”

According to the machine in front of me, wrench maintenance plays a very important role. Although it has not completely repaired the gear library area where the "Rebel" data is stored, at least most of the content has been restored.

Of course, just as Jenkins expected, these materials are also missing the most important content. But it's not a coincidence that it just didn't get repaired, it's that it doesn't have that part of the core data.

"First of all, what can be determined is that the core of the fate-defying ritual must be the metal black tower you mentioned, and the number of floors of that tower must correspond to the number of qualifications of the savior. Savior, do you know? , How many saviors are there in this century?”

"nine."

There is no need to hide this.

"Then the black tower must have nine floors. The black tower is part of the underground machine, and it is also the core part that was reshaped after transforming its own mechanism, just like the metal altar I have in front of you. "

"In other words, the real core of that thing, which will destroy the underground body if destroyed, is actually hidden in the metal black tower?"

Jenkins asked immediately, so that things would become much simpler. After he obtained divinity, he could just blow up the block where Nolan's Civic Square was located into an abyss.

Of course, things won't be that simple.

"No, I don't believe it has only one core. And, while there is a lack of understanding of the most important parts of the Fate Defiant Ritual, I don't believe it would place the most important parts of itself above the ground."

The mechanical voice said, and then introduced:

"According to the records in my database, the Fate-Rebel Ritual is a huge-scale ritual that covers time, space, destiny, etc. The arrangement of the ritual needs to span at least a hundred years, and it is not necessarily successful. Depending on the purpose, each destiny-defying person's ritual is used and arranged differently, and the performance of the ritual is also different."

The star spirit Rakul also mentioned this.

"Based on my calculations and the only partial information in the database, I think there is an 83% probability that only you need to face the ritual with that metal black tower as its core."

"What's the meaning?"

"Although we are computing devices, calculations have limits. Even it cannot accurately calculate the future without introducing too many variables. Since the human lady behind you is also proficient in mathematics, she should be able to understand , when building a model, the more variables are introduced, the more blurred the long-term measurement will be. Even when the time coordinate is far enough away, the model's prediction will be completely out of touch with the facts. "

"Yes, that's true."

Alexia said.

Jenkins nodded. Of course he understood this and understood it very well.

"So, even if it has been deployed for many years and is confident of success, it will never give up its biggest advantage, which is computing power. In my observation model for the future, it has a very high probability that it will choose a closed The environment engages in a so-called duel with you. After excluding other variables and only you are left, you can deduce the future in which you can win based on your behavioral patterns. "

"So the metal black tower, which is the core of the ceremony, will be the place for our duel?"

"The probability is very high, but I cannot guarantee you 100%. Nothing will happen 100%. This is the code engraved in my computing core. Although my computing power cannot be compared with that deep underground, that Compared to the original Omnic, but our operating modes and calculations are the same, there won't be much difference. I can deduce how it behaves, which is highly feasible, but don't take my word for it. One hundred percent correct.”

Chapter 1871 Chapter 1842 Alexia’s Progress

The possibility of the black tower rising in the city becoming the site of the final battle suddenly climbed to the highest position among all possibilities. Jenkins thought about the statues of the Three Kings he had seen when he ventured to the top floor, and suddenly had more guesses.

"Besides the black tower, what else do you know about the rituals of the 'Rebel of Fate'? I saw a person called 'Mr. B, the Rebel of Fate' in a letter last year."

he asked again.

"This name may be the name of the mechanically controlled mechanical transformation person. It also needs its own ears and eyes on the ground. As for the rebels, the success of this ritual requires destiny. Although the purpose of the ritual itself is to reverse destiny, But it needs to comply with fate. All the actions you can find to promote the end of the world are most likely part of the fate-defying ritual."

"Would it harm the ceremony to disrupt those actions?"

"Yes, but very low."

"In other words, the ritual of the Rebel is basically uninterruptible."

"It can be said that, but if you have a way to kill the person holding the ceremony, the ceremony can naturally be interrupted."

This is equivalent to not giving any advice. If Jenkins had a way to find the Difference Machine and was confident that he could defeat it, he wouldn't have to worry so much now.

But this second underground trip, although no key clues were found, it was also very rewarding. Knowing more information about the rebellious people is crucial to future plans.
