Xingtetsu: Why is the captain on the train?

Everyone in the Black Tower was dumbfounded.

What the hell, the [Simulated Universe] is just a presentation of data and does not have the so-called 'authenticity' at all. In order to prevent the [Simulated Star God] from really growing wildly in the simulated universe, the Genius Club specially consulted Ruan Mei, a master of creating life, to provide more than one kind of insurance for the simulated universe!

Now you tell me that a Jianmu tree grows directly in the redundant area?!

Well, now comes the problem.

Is this Jianmu the work of the [Simulated Star God]? Or is it the masterpiece of the [Abundant] Pharmacist? !

It's over. For the first time in my life, I feel like I'm going to grow a brain!

Captain: [It seems like there are still signs of life activities? ]

Heita stared at the captain's brainwave feedback on the screen, her breathing became more than three times heavier. She spoke in a calm voice, struggling painfully in her heart, "You'd better be kidding!"

Captain: [No kidding.]

Yuexia: [The captain and I are getting closer, and we did see some, uh... not really life, right? Signs of robot activity?]

robot?

Heita's breathing stagnated, and he immediately calmed down. "Impossible. Although the simulated universe project has designed content related to [Intelligent Machines], it has never been implemented. The data residue in the redundant area cannot contain content related to [Intelligent Machines]."

Yuexia: [Then we don’t know. Let’s wait until we log in to see the specific situation. ]

"Understood, keep in touch."

---

Simulated universe, data redundancy area.

Driven by the torrent of imaginary energy, the captain and Yuexia gradually approached the three pieces of land in the distance that were firmly grasped and gathered by the roots of [Jianmu].

As the two approached, the captain subconsciously frowned.

According to the previous period of study and the information found with the help of Black Tower, the captain has already clearly understood what [Jianmu] is.

It was a miracle planted by a star god himself. Under the cover of [Jianmu], any life can be permanently bathed in the imaginary energy of the star god's blessing, and live forever, without disease or disaster...

Even though he had never seen it with his own eyes, based on the ancient books and materials handed down by the Xianzhou Alliance, the captain could also glimpse the power of [Jianmu] from between the lines.

And now, this...

说实话，有点怪。

With the captain's continuous control and research on the imaginary energy under the destiny of [Abundance] in the space station during this period, he can intuitively feel that the [Jianmu] that gathers three pieces of land is in a very weak state.

in other words......

Captain: [This seems to be a [Jianmu·Fake] as well? ]

Captain: [Even from the feeling, it is a little inferior to the one I planted in the folded space. ]

In the office of the space station, Heita saw the words left by the captain on the screen and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. At least it's not the power of the [Star God] that directly invaded the simulated universe."

Captain: [But Jianmu's shape is indeed true to its original form. ]

The moment the words fed back to the Black Tower flashed through their minds, the captain and Yuexia, who were originally in a zero-gravity environment, felt at the same time that they were captured by gravity and even began to fall rapidly.

There was a sudden sound of strong wind in my ears.

It's not that there's wind blowing, but that the two people are breaking through wind resistance under the capture of gravity.

"There is air here!" The voice under the moon mixed with the sound of the strong wind penetrated into the captain's ears.

"Hmm!" The captain responded, but he quickly adjusted his posture in mid-air, looking from top to bottom, taking in the three broken continents completely.

A forest terrain, a city ruins terrain, and a vast grassland are separated in three directions of Jianmu Pseudo-Trunk. The land is not in direct contact with each other, but is connected by roots and more broken islands, as if a road has been paved.

"Captain, look down!" Yuexia shouted loudly.

The captain turned his gaze away from the three pieces of land and looked down.

Below, many tiny black shadows were gathering rapidly, as if they had determined the landing point where the two men fell from the sky, and were waiting there for Yuexia and the captain.

"This spontaneity..." the captain muttered to himself, and his indifferent words dissipated in the wind.

"Captain! How are we going to land?" Yuexia tightly grasped the captain's wrist, facing the strong wind that poured into her mouth, "I can't hold you back!!"

The Valkyrie armor has a cushioning and slow-descent function, but if the weight of an adult man is added, it probably won't work so well.

The captain just smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Then, the two of them suddenly disappeared in mid-air.

On the ground, a group of one-meter-tall square-headed robots gathered together, looking up blankly, watching the two uninvited guests disappear in mid-air.

"Ji? Those two people..."

Before a square-headed robot could finish his words, the captain and Yuexia suddenly appeared half a meter above the ground, and then they landed lightly and steadily on the ground.

"Jigu!! Outsider! Important information! Jigu! There is a message from the 'Doctor' to the outsider! Jigu!"

"Please check! Jigu!"

"Jigu! Outsiders! There really are outsiders!"

"Gee! The Doctor's inference is correct! Gee!"

Chapter 75: Doctor, Message from Nikola Tesla

"whisper!"

"whisper!!"

"Outsider, please check the message from the doctor! Jigu!"

"Very important information! Jigu!"

As the two outsiders, the Captain and Yuexia, landed, the robots with square heads and pairs of antennas of various shapes all started to make a lot of noise and surrounded the two of them.

"Captain? What happened on your side?!" Black Tower's voice sounded in the minds of the two.

Helplessly, the captain and Yuexia sank into the redundant area. She could not directly observe their conditions and could only see the two characters on the screen that expressed their feelings.

captain:【?】

Moonlight: [?▼??]

"You are, wait a minute, wait a minute!" The captain hurriedly spoke to stop the situation which was more chaotic than a vegetable market. "Can one of you come and tell me what's going on? Who is the doctor?"

All the robots fell silent for a moment and looked at each other, not knowing who should speak up.

Until a sentence came from the speaker of an unknown robot, "Doctor, it's the Doctor? Ji?"

"Yeah, a doctor is a doctor, right? Jigu."

"Jigu, Doctor, it's the Creator and the Protector!"

"whisper!"

There was a moment of silence, and then it immediately turned back into the noisy and bustling vegetable market.

“Alright, alright!!!” The captain was so annoyed by the noise of all the machine-synthesized voices that he was about to have a headache. He spoke hurriedly and pointed at a robot with a bent antenna on its head that looked like rabbit ears. “I’ll ask the questions, and you do the talking. No one else is allowed to talk!”

In an instant, all the robots fell silent, except for the robot that was pointed at by the captain's finger, which made a very soft "Chi~" sound.

"It's very cute." Yuexia chuckled.

The captain was silent for a moment, staring at the square-headed robot and said, "First, tell me, what is the doctor's message?"

"Jigu!" The square-headed robot nodded, "Next, I'll play the doctor's message for you:"

【Hello, outsider.】

A red-haired girl wearing glasses appeared on the front display screen of the square-headed robot.

After seeing the image of the girl on the screen, the captain and Yuexia both held their breath in shock.

[I am probably the first truly intelligent being to set foot here. With the help of several beings who call themselves [Star Gods], I created everything you can observe in this dark space and left this message.]

[This is a world similar to the quantum sea and world bubble. If you don’t understand what it is, it doesn’t matter. ]

[In short, this world will reset once every standard time interval, and everything except those things that the [Star Gods] helped me create will perish.]

【Including life.】

[If you don’t want to disappear inexplicably, try to save yourself. ]

[You have several methods to choose from, and I will explain them one by one. ]

[First, there is a miracle of [abundance] on that green land, and the main branch of [Jianmu] is there. Become a test subject, receive the blessing, and pray that you can survive.]

[Second, on the gray-brown mechanical land, learn and gain knowledge, and try to obtain transformation from [intelligence]. You will most likely survive, but when your self-cognition deviates, you will become a 'jigu', which are the robots you can see.]

【Third, on the loess land, try to build a house with rocks, create a "defense line" that you think can protect yourself, and accept the shelter of [preservation]. Maybe it will work.】

【You may be confused, but you have no choice. 】

[Also, pay attention to anyone who calls himself Aha. He is a lunatic. He may help you, but he may also destroy you. The advice from those who have experienced it is to stay away from him.]

"Jigu, playback is over!" The square-headed robot spoke in its own mechanical synthesized voice, "Outsider, do you have any questions that need to be answered?"

"Yes." The captain took a deep breath, "The Doctor's name is Tesla, right?"

"Yes, outsider, the full name of 'Doctor' is Nikola Tesla." The robot nodded.

The captain and Yuexia looked at each other and saw the throbbing in each other's eyes.

"How long has the 'Doctor' been away? When will he be back?" Yuexia asked impatiently.

Dr. Tesla was once the Ferryman's assistant. Before the Ferryman split into the Captain, Tesla experimented with an ability called "Consciousness Mapping" many times in order to help the Ferryman. Eventually, his consciousness was completely lost in the quantum sea and could never return to his body.

After the final showdown with the Ferryman, the captain and his companions never gave up searching for Dr. Tesla's consciousness, but... to no avail.

But unexpectedly, after the upgrade, they finally found traces of Tesla in a virtual world project against the backdrop of stars.

"The doctor never came back after he left, Jigu."

......Unexpected, yet reasonable.

The captain and Yuexia looked at each other and saw regret in each other's eyes.

"...Anyway, we finally found the clue." The captain exhaled deeply, his eyes looking at the square head with rabbit ear antennas on top, "Did the 'Doctor' leave any other messages?"

"No, ji~" The answer came from another robot who was unwilling to be lonely.

"But there is a countdown, Jigu!" Another robot, unwilling to be lonely, shouted loudly.

"You have to try to save yourself before the countdown ends, Ji!"

"Save yourself! Ji!"

"Otherwise you will disappear like those outsiders before! Ji!"

"Ji! But those outsiders never asked so many questions before!"

"These two outsiders may be special! Ji!"

"Maybe they won't disappear! Ji!"

"Ah... Jigu~"

"Disappear! It's gone!"

"But the countdown hasn't started yet! Jigu!"

"The Doctor can never make mistakes! Jike!"

The captain and Yuexia were destined not to hear the chaotic quarrel in the data redundancy area.

In the office of the space station, Heita turned his head with a complicated look, looking at the captain and Yuexia who had gathered in front of the data world interface, and said faintly, "I'm curious about what you experienced in there."

"Your thoughts are very complicated, and many of your words and sentences are incoherent."

"Also, who is this Nikola Tesla?"

The captain and Yuexia looked at each other, and it was Yuexia who finally spoke, telling the story of their companion, Nikola Tesla. Afterwards, the captain recounted Tesla's message in the data redundancy area, adding his own guesses.

"The [Star God] in the simulated universe found a life with true self-awareness and bestowed her with the blessing of the [Star God]..." Black Tower murmured the guess that had just come from the captain's mouth and looked up at the sky in silence.

She felt like her CPU was about to burn out.

Damn it, why hadn't I noticed this before?

wrong.......
