Star Dome Railway: Kevin's Pioneering Journey

After saying that, he looked down at the girl beside him.

"But you didn't summon me here for these ores. Tell me what you really think, Clara."

Chapter 33: Testing Swarlow

"I want Mr. Swarlow to see that many wanderers and miners have been injured in the fight for this mineral vein..."

Clara explained to Swarovski why she had called him.

"I have stopped the dispute between the two camps and temporarily controlled the mining area. Assessment results - within thirty days, there will be no sudden changes and no large-scale armed conflicts will occur."

"I understand Mr. Swarovski's intention! But... Clara feels that this is not enough."

"The mining team and everyone in the underground fire still don't understand Mr. Swarovski's original intention... If we can do more for everyone..."

"My mission is to 'protect' the lower level area. The trust of a few samples is redundant in the calculation."

"Human behavior always deviates from rational calculation, Clara—"

“The fact that they’re here is proof of that.”

Swarovski pointed at the people who appeared not far away and said.

"We are... variables."

Xing crossed his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrows proudly.

Everyone has been here for a while, and everyone has heard a lot of what Swarovski said before.

He assessed that there would be no sudden variables and large-scale fights would not occur, but now the variables have arrived.

Everyone had become accustomed to Xing's occasional attacks, and Xier walked forward and said.

"Swaro! I haven't settled the accounts with you from last time yet."

Swarovski's camera head quickly scanned everyone. Except for Seer, Sambo, and the gray-haired girl who could only be identified as a Silver Mane Guard, the information of everyone else was unknown.

"Xi'er of the Underworld... your resistance is worthless. The calculation result is very clear: staying in the lower level is the best choice."

Xier had fought with Swarovski's robots many times and was already tired of this talk.

"Here you go again. You keep talking about calculations and optimal strategies. I don't have time to listen to your long speeches. Get your men to withdraw immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

March Seven, who was behind him, heard what Swarovski said and complained quietly.

"Why is he so obedient to the calculations? Do robots really have no feelings? Doesn't he see what has happened to the lower district?"

"Perhaps this is what mechanical life is like. It only recognizes the results of calculations."

Danheng listened to San Yueqi's complaints, expressed his own ideas and gave examples.

"Like Emperor Rupert, his calculations revealed the absurdity of organic life and the perfection of intelligent life, so he assembled intelligent forces and spread the Anti-Life Equation throughout the universe."

"Is that so? According to what you said, Swarovski is a bit like this "Emperor"..."

San Yueqi nodded thoughtfully, not knowing whether she understood or not.

Kevin naturally also heard the conversation between the two. These two mechanical life forms do have similarities.

Both believed in their own calculations and assembled mechanical troops, but they did different things: one was to destroy organic life, and the other was to protect the lower areas.

But Swarovski's approach was too direct. If someone is fighting over something, then I will beat them away and guard the thing to prevent them from getting close, so that there will be no conflicts between them... No way!

The wanderers and the miners had been harboring grievances for a long time, and this fight for the mineral veins only ignited their conflicts.

Drive them away to prevent disputes in the mining area. They will fight if they go out. This cannot be eradicated by the intervention of a third party. Swarovski naturally knows this, but he doesn't care. He only believes in the results of calculations and only needs to ensure a superficial peace.

As for why Swarovski was here, Kevin glanced at the white-haired girl beside him.

Kevin heard clearly what the girl said before. It was she who called Swarlow here, and the relationship between them seemed to be unusual.

According to Swarovski's logic, human emotions are uncontrollable factors, so how could he listen to humans? How could he listen to the girl's call and come to the mining area?

Thinking of this, what happened next just confirmed Kevin's thoughts.

After hearing what Xier said, Swarovski did not respond immediately, but lowered his head and spoke to the girl beside him.

"You see, Clara. Even in extremely harsh living conditions, humans cannot avoid division and struggle."

Swarlow treated Clara like a parent and expressed his own ideas to her.

"But, Mr. Swarlow..."

Clara looked up at Swarovski. His words were too absolute and too rational. She wanted to persuade him, but was interrupted before she could say anything.

"The humans who attempt to subvert the calculation results are a huge threat to the survival strategy of the lower zone. The calculation is complete, and the conclusion is clear: using force to make "Earth Fire" and its companions obey is the most efficient solution."

A huge robot at the side stepped forward and stood in front of Swarovski and Clara.

"This one looks stronger than an ordinary robot..."

Xing said as he looked at the robot in front of him, and Sanyueqi also nodded and complained.

"Its belly is so big that I can't even see the people behind it... Hey! Is Swarovski planning to retreat? What about the little girl in red?"

San Yue Qi turned his body and looked over, and saw that the two men looked like they were about to leave.

"We should go, Clara. There are external variables and we can't make any judgment, but the core hub needs someone to guard it." Swarovski said to Clara.

Clara was also very conflicted after hearing this. In this situation, she could not change Swarovski's decision and could only give orders to the big robot in front of her.

"...Mills, please don't be too harsh..."

[I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving~]

The voice in my head said in Swarovski's mechanical voice.

In reality, Swarovski also turned around with Clara and was about to leave, but an ice wall rose from the ground, blocking their retreat.

"You can't go."

Kevin took a step forward and looked at Swarovski with cold eyes.

The robots that suddenly appeared in the lower area more than ten years ago had self-awareness and advanced technology, unlike the products that can be made with current Beloberg technology. Beloberg's technological level has been regressing.

Then Swarovski must have lived long enough to know something. How could he be allowed to leave like this?

When the people behind him saw that Kevin stopped Swarovski from leaving, they prepared to deal with the big robot.

Kevin looked at Swarovski. He knew that Swarovski was planning to return because of the arrival of these outsiders.

"Didn't you say that we are external variables that cannot be measured? Then I'll let you measure it."

The Great Sword of Destruction was taken out from the imaginary space and inserted straight into the ground. The golden-red flame illuminated the entire underground. The light of the earth's marrow was too dim in comparison, and a feeling of burning heat came over one's face.

"what is this?"

Seele and Bronya asked, shielding their eyes with their hands.

"This is Brother Kevin's weapon! But why does it seem different? It's become golden and shining!" Xing shouted excitedly.

"Why has it become as dazzling as welding?" Sanyueqi complained, covering his eyes.

Dan Heng closed his eyes and nodded, sensing the breath of destruction.

"It is the power of destruction..."

Sangbo on the side was also very shocked. The power emitted by Jiemie was too strong.

"The object is detected to contain huge energy, which exceeds the threshold and cannot be judged. Clara, stay away!"

Swarlow pushed Clara aside and Mills protected her behind him.

"Mr. Schwaro!"

Clara looked at Swarovski and shouted, she could sense that the white-haired man was dangerous.

"If you can withstand my blow, I will let you go."

Kevin pulled the burning Jiemie out of the ground and raised it with one hand. The sword burned even more fiercely in his hand, but this was just an ordinary sword drawing.

"Energy increase detected, exceeding the threshold, unable to judge. Conclusion: Do not fight it, escape as soon as possible."

Swarovski knew that he was no match for his opponent and tried to dodge the attack, but it was too late. Jiemie slashed at him with his sword without any preparation.

"Mr. Swarlow!!!"

Clara wanted to rush over, but her body was held by the giant Mills robot and she couldn't break free - this was an order from Swarovski.

As the calamity fell, Swarovski knew he had no way to escape and had to raise his arms to block it.

The flame went out the moment it touched the iron arm, and purple energy emerged from the blade, quickly spreading to Swarovski's body. The energy invaded Swarovski's "brain" like a virus.

Swarovski fell straight to his knees on the ground, his entire body trembling and losing power.

Kevin did not kill them, he just wanted to achieve his own goal. Swarovski regarded them as outsiders, and it would be difficult to obtain the information he wanted through normal channels, so he decided to do something abnormal.

The moment Jiemie and Swarovski came into "intimate" contact, he had used the power of erosion to copy Swarovski's complete storage data.

Although the power of erosion can be used remotely, the remote connection is unstable and may cause incomplete data copying. In addition, the energy fluctuations of remote copying are too obvious. He does not want his little actions to be discovered.

Due to Swarovski's sudden shutdown, the command to control Mills to protect Clara also stopped, and Clara broke free from it.

She opened her arms and stood in front of Swarovski.

"Please... please don't hurt Mr. Swarovski anymore. He can't fight anymore!"

Clara shouted timidly. She didn't know Kevin's purpose, but she felt that he would hurt Swarlow again.

"it is good."

Kevin mentioned the Jiemie that was stuck on Swarovski's arm. Even though the flame was extinguished in time, part of Swarovski's arm was still melted.

Kevin calmly took back Jiemie, turned around and walked back to the crowd.

Although Clara was puzzled by Kevin's sudden stop, fortunately, Mr. Swarlow would not be hurt again. She walked behind Swarlow and started checking.

Not long after, the downtime of Swarovski resumed operation. He slowly stood up and looked at Clara beside him.

"Check Clara's physical condition, calculation result: normal."

"Mr. Swarovski, I'm fine, you should check yourself..."

Clara waved her hands and urged, she just restarted Swarlow's program, she didn't know anything else.

After listening to Clara's words, Swarlow quickly conducted a self-examination.
