Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

"In fact, Ai Yue also had plans for you, but you ran away before you even heard that part."

Aponia took out the envelope that Ai Yue had left for Padofelice and handed it to her. "No matter what, you have to read it before making a decision, right?"

"Brother Yue gave it to me?"

Padofelice took the envelope suspiciously and opened it carefully. "Isn't he asking me to wait for him to come back again?"

Aponia didn't know what Ai Yue wrote in the letter to Padfils, but after reading it, the other party's mood obviously improved.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this time to be different from before..."

Padufilis carefully placed the letter in her pocket and then smiled foolishly, "I am very important... I didn't expect Brother Yue to value me so much!"

Seeing Padofelice's reaction, even Aponya couldn't help but become curious: "What did Ai Yue write?"

"Keep it secret for now,"

Padofelice pretended to be mysterious and said, "This is not something I want to keep secret. It was Brother Yue who said that the contents inside cannot be told to anyone!"

At the end, she couldn't wait to ask: "When are we leaving?"

"There is no news from Dr. Mei yet,"

Aponia shook her head. "Before that, you can go anywhere you want. I'm going to the First Research Institute. Do you want to come with me?"

"Well...I can't."

Padufilis thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I have other things to do. I'll be leaving first!"

Having said that, she couldn't wait to leave here - as the person who believed in "luck" the most in the Fire Moth, she needed to carefully perform the luck-changing ritual before participating in the mission.

Otherwise, if we fail, it will be too bad!

Aponia looked at Padofelice's receding figure and shook her head slightly: "Aiyue, how are you now?"

Chapter 84: What is the pinnacle of human intelligence?

The Spiral Workshop is bustling with activity at this moment.

Almost all the industrial equipment were awakened by Wei Erwei and were making deafening roars. In such an environment, Wei Erwei was staring at the drawings in front of her in a daze.

She was silent at first, then scratched her head, and then repeatedly turned the drawing upside down. Finally, she couldn't help but slapped him on the table: "I think this guy Ai Yue is just trying to make things difficult for me!"

"Mom Velvet, please calm down."

Prometheus' voice came from the side, "Dr. Ai Yue entrusted you with this important task, obviously because he trusts your ability."

"He's so relaxed, leaving this mess to me!"

Wei Erwei was still furious. "We're so short on time now. Even if you gave me the complete blueprints, it would be difficult to make them before we set off. And now I only have half the blueprints. How can I possibly accomplish this?"

Although Wei Erwei has always emphasized that she possesses talents that are not inferior to Ai Yue in specialized fields such as engineering machinery, she knows very well that this is just bragging. Even if she can make others believe her, she can't fool herself in the end.

If the project that needs to be completed is one that is still within the field of human science and technology, then Wei Erwei is confident that she can produce results of the same level as Ai Yue, and even in some details, she can make it more humane than Ai Yue.

However, Ai Yue usually wouldn't do this kind of thing. Whenever he did something, it would definitely be something beyond the current limits of human technology - like now.

Up to now, Weiliwei hasn't even figured out the use of the blueprint that Ai Yue left for her. You know, the confidentiality level of this thing is so high that perhaps only she and Ai Yue know about it in the entire human civilization. In order to obtain this blueprint, Weiliwei needs to use the secret key to extract it from Prometheus' core database.

Even before Weiwei used the secret key in the envelope, Prometheus herself didn't know that such a thing was stored in her database. Apparently, she had been asked by Ai Yue to delete some related data before.

"Mother Weiwei, I have to say something,"

Prometheus interrupted at this moment, "Whether it's based on the deductions from the virtual personality model I built, or based on Dr. Ai Yue's understanding of you, this shouldn't be your most genuine reaction right now."

Weiwei immediately turned around and looked at Prometheus: "What do you want to say?"

"Dr. Ai Yue has already written down what I want to say in the letter."

Prometheus didn't say it directly, but looked at the letter on the side. "You should understand what he means, right?"

The letter contained little information, essentially asking Wei Erwei to use the secret key to complete the unfinished blueprint left by Ai Yue. The only noteworthy thing about it was that at the end of the letter, Ai Yue had specifically written: "Don't pretend. I know you can definitely do it."

"How did he find out?"

Weiwei was silent for a moment, then said, "I thought I covered it up well."

"Because you're acting so mediocre right now—of course, this isn't what I said, but what Dr. Ai Yue said."

Prometheus imitated Ai Yue's tone and said, "If that were all you had, how could you possibly be willing to just do the work of dusting?"

Wei Erwei couldn't help but widen her eyes: "So my hard work during this period is actually wrong?"

"Given your personality, such stability is inherently fraught with doubt."

Prometheus said, "Besides, isn't there another possible interpretation of this matter?"

"For example, it's not that you don't want to do something out of the ordinary, but the current you no longer has that ability, right?"

Wei Erwei had a smile on her face, but her eyes had become calmer: "I can't hide it from that guy after all."

After becoming a fusion warrior, Velvet mastered the ability called "mind splitting". Through this ability, she can split her own personality into different parts according to her needs. Each split personality has independent consciousness and can continue to grow through learning.

According to Wei Liwei's own plan, she should use this method to divide her talents into different personalities according to her areas of expertise, so as to maximize her talents - if she had not met Ai Yue.

In the original plot, Weiwei divided herself into eight personalities to correspond to eight different fields, and all of these eight personalities were at the genius level.

But now Wei Liwei only has two personalities.

In addition to retaining what she considers to be the purest "self", Wei Erwei has put all her thoughts and talents into one place - that is, analyzing and imitating Ai Yue.

It is an extremely dangerous practice to make yourself become Ai Yue and possess intelligence beyond common sense, because once you lose yourself, you are likely to become a madman. Only Wei Liwei, who can split her thoughts, can do such a thing.

However, even if she tried her best, she could not guarantee that she could simulate Ai Yue's essence to some extent. After all, from her observation and speculation, she could feel that there seemed to be a huge black hole hidden in Ai Yue's body.

From a human perspective, that is the "black box" that should not appear. It is the mysterious part that cannot be observed and simulated by conventional methods. Wei Liwei's intuition tells her that perhaps that is the fundamental reason why Ai Yue can achieve such an achievement.

But even so, Wei Erwei benefited a lot from imitating Ai Yue. Perhaps, she really could solve the current dilemma.

That being the case...

Wei Erwei thought of this, then closed her eyes, as if she was asleep, and her body fell forward uncontrollably.

"Please note..."

Prometheus was about to remind the other party, but Vivi regained consciousness first and put one hand on the table to avoid the tragedy of her face hitting the table directly.

"Hey, is the dusting over? What's this for?"

Wei Erwei... no, perhaps, to distinguish her, we should call her "Elvi." After she regained consciousness, she casually picked up the blueprint on the table and began to look through it. "Oh, this is interesting... Do you want me to complete it?"

"Yes, Mama Velvet."

Prometheus responded, "Besides, you don't have much time... At most, there are four hours left before the war begins."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I can tell it's another job assigned by that bastard."

Elvy shook her head. "Forget it. There's no point in complaining anyway. Rose, come and help."

"understood."

Prometheus paused before responding.

Both the data and reality told her that the person in front of her was Wei Erwei, but analyzing what the other party had just said, Prometheus came to the outrageous conclusion that "the person in front of her was actually Ai Yue."

It's really, really weird.

Chapter 85 What? It’s the power to create an air wall (not really)

A few hours later, at Mei's call, everyone involved in the plan gathered together again.

"Before I announce what's next, I have one more question,"

Looking at the crowd gathered before her, Mei emphasized, "If anyone wants to withdraw, now is the last chance."

"I don't think I need to confirm it anymore,"

Kevin smiled and said, "Everyone has been prepared for this, right?"

"Dr. Ai Yue is our friend. Even if we put aside this relationship, we can't just ignore the Herrscher."

Kosmo said, "If we really wanted to escape, then none of us would be here."

"I, I want to say something,"

Padofelice in the corner suddenly raised her hand. "Sister Snake, Sister Nia, and Ahua didn't come, but that's only because they had other things to do. They're not planning to withdraw from the plan, okay?"

Desdobia immediately looked at Kosmo. The boy was silent for a moment, then said awkwardly: "That's not what I meant..."

Obviously, putting the conversation between the two people together gives people the impression that "Kosmo is implying that those who are not at the scene are deserters."

"Oh, I know, I'm not blaming you!"

Padufilis quickly waved her hands and said, "I just remembered it. I'm sorry!"

After this little episode, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little more relaxed, but this could not change the harsh reality they would face next.

"So, before we set off, we need to understand the basic situation in Australia right now."

Dr. Mei brought the topic back to the topic. "Firstly, thanks to the swarm drones working in Australia, the Honkai beasts are still suppressed in the Australian interior. There's no risk of them spreading out within 12 hours."

As an important project under Ai Yue for re-exploiting Australian resources, the "Swarm Project" can be said to be booming during this period. Relying on the special structure of "Gestalt Swarm Consciousness", the automatic proliferation speed of the swarm drones can be said to have far exceeded Ai Yue's expectations.

Through the cycle of "collecting resources - building new factories - manufacturing more drones to collect resources - and then manufacturing more new factories", the number of swarm drones has now reached an incredible number. On the surface, it is to complete the blockade of the Australian mainland and prevent the Honkai beasts from spreading outward, but in fact, they have even begun to compress the living space of the Honkai beast sea.

If it weren't for the fact that the power of the Herrscher this time could not be solved by relying on the number of drones, Kevin and others would not have needed to take risks. Just relying on the swarm of bees would be enough to tire Ai Yue to death.

"Secondly, we have new clues regarding the power that the Eleventh Ruler, Ai Yue, may possess."

Dr. Mei glanced at Prometheus next to him and said, "Rose, play the video received from the front line."

"Ok."

Prometheus nodded and then projected a video. "Also, Dr. Velvet is currently in a critical phase of researching a new project, so she can't come. However, she hasn't withdrawn from the project, so please be aware of this."

No one responded to Prometheus' words for a moment, because the video projected by the other party had attracted everyone's attention.

It was a video shot from a war scene. The clear pictures, multi-angle camera switching, and the lens stability to an absurd degree would even make people think that it was a scene from a movie.

However, everyone could easily recognize that the scene in the picture was the wasteland where everyone fought against the Ruler of Rule last time, and the two sides of the war were the familiar drones and Honkai beasts - obviously, this is what is happening in Australia now.

The overwhelming swarm of drones collided with the equally overwhelming swarm of Honkai beasts, and the war that broke out was unimaginable to ordinary people. Explosions filled almost every corner of the screen. Every second that the video was played, countless drones and Honkai beasts died.

Compared to the drones that had run out of ammunition and could still rely on detonating their energy systems to attack the Honkai beasts, the Honkai beasts quickly fell into a disadvantage, retreating step by step under the dense offensive and constantly shrinking their own defense lines.

"This is the first time I've seen a Honkai Beast being so firmly suppressed in a battle of numbers..."

Witnessing this scene, Kosmo couldn't help but look at Desdobia beside him, "What should I do, Des? I feel like your role has been replaced."

In previous wars, the fusion warrior team relied on Desdobia's clearing ability to fight their way out of the sea of collapsed beasts in order to complete the final decapitation plan. However, Desdobia's clearing ability is obviously not on the same level as the drone in the video.

"Idiot, I can't just deal with random soldiers!"

Desdobia pinched her outspoken boyfriend in anger, but she couldn't help but worry in her heart.

Could it be that one day I will really be optimized away by a drone?

But she quickly gave up thinking about it, because now was obviously not the time to study this problem.

The content in the video has also entered the next stage - obviously, the content after this is the most critical part.

As the Honkai beasts were gradually eliminated by drones, the scene behind them gradually emerged.

Unexpectedly, it was an empty lot, with no Honkai beasts or anything else. All the camera captured was a desolate land.

Even the Honkai beasts bypassed that area and gathered on the battlefield from both sides, as if something was blocking them there.

"what is that?"

Kosmo scratched his head. "An air wall?"

"This isn't a game,"

Desdobia sighed, "But it's really strange. Could it be that Dr. Ai Yue is in that wasteland right now?"

No one can answer this question, but at least they will soon understand why the Honkai Beasts are avoiding this area.

I saw a drone passing through the layers of obstructions of the Honkai beasts and flying towards the open space. However, just when it passed all the Honkai beasts and reached the sky above the blank area, it strangely fell down and hit the ground heavily.

The camera stayed on the crashed drone for a full minute before ending.
