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

Ai Yue put it on his hand, bent his fingers downward, and triggered a rupture in time and space.

In an instant, he seemed to have entered the cracks of time, and the objects around him were all coated with a layer of ambiguous color. This situation lasted for about three seconds before returning to normal.

"Three seconds, that's barely enough." Ai Yue nodded, "There's still a lot of room for improvement."

The space-time rupture generator requires Honkai energy as energy, but Ai Yue is neither a Herrscher nor a Fusion Warrior now, and does not possess Honkai energy. Therefore, this generator also has its own energy source and needs to be replaced every ten uses.

Fortunately, he has a way to obtain Honkai energy.

After playing the time-space rupture twice more, Ai Yue put his thoughts aside and turned his attention back to the system.

The construction system is not only used to make prototypes. As long as Ai Yue has all the materials to make a space-time rupture generator, he can use the construction system to directly convert them into generators. The whole process does not require any equipment, so Ai Yue calls it alchemy.

"Please select a new research project."

After Ai Yue turned off the construction system, a system prompt came to his mind, and then the light around him suddenly dimmed.

coming soon.

This thought flashed through Ai Yue's mind, and then he saw a galaxy slowly unfolding before his eyes.

The light around him didn't actually get dimmer, it was just suppressed by the brighter light.

This galaxy where stars gather is the technology tree displayed by the system. Among the countless stars in the sky, only a few stars appear particularly dazzling.

Those are the scientific research projects completed by Ai Yue.

And at the top of this galaxy...

Ai Yue raised his head and looked towards the highest point. The scene there gradually enlarged in his eyes and finally focused on a lonely star.

The name of that star is "Plasma Spark Tower".

Ai Yue can still remember the unexpected turn of events he felt when he discovered this project.

As a time traveler, he is very familiar with the future direction of this world. Compared with the next round of civilization that will be born tens of thousands of years later, the current generation is destined to be destroyed. Even if he knows the future, it is difficult to change anything.

But it turns out that as long as the plug-in is powerful enough, all difficulties are nothing.

What kind of thing is a Plasma Spark Tower? It's an energy system capable of creating ultimate life forms like the Kingdom of Light. With something of this level, what does a mere Herrscher of the End have to worry about?

Of course, the prerequisite is that Ai Yue can complete this project and all the prerequisite technology trees before the end comes.

Ai Yue's gaze fell downwards again - the plasma spark tower was a project that could only be developed after science and technology had reached its peak, so the prerequisites it required were naturally numerous and frightening. Energy, materials, structure... every aspect involved needed to be solved by Ai Yue.

The gap between him and this goal now is so huge that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's as far as the galaxy.

However, Ai Yue is still very optimistic. After all, the crisis of Herrscher of the End does not necessarily require means of the Plasma Spark Tower to be solved. Perhaps the problem of Herrscher of the End can be solved halfway through climbing the technology tree.

After all, in the technology tree provided by the system, there are many messy projects such as "Body Transformation (Shocker Company version)", "Spirit Core Contract Technology (Incubator Civilization version)", "Mazinger Z Design Drawings", "Mutant Serum", etc., which seem to be incompetent at first glance.

Honestly, Ai Yue even wondered if this system was in the wrong place. Would he need all these things to defeat the Herrscher of the End? They looked like they were meant to deal with some kind of multiverse-level empire whose territory spanned countless universes and held the ultimate secrets of all things.

After gathering his chaotic thoughts, Ai Yue returned to reality and began to choose his next scientific research goal.

Although the system seems very rough and brainless in scientific research, it is very rigorous in lighting up the technology tree. If you do not unlock the prerequisite technology or have the relevant props, you cannot start the corresponding scientific research project.

Originally, given Ai Yue's current situation, he was actually unable to unlock the "Space-Time Fracture Technology" project, because this thing was theoretically developed based on the abilities possessed by the second Herrscher, the "Herscher of the Void".

However, Ai Yue had accidentally obtained a special Honkai energy sample before, which allowed him to skip several preliminary projects. This kind of luck obviously does not always exist.

So this time he honestly chose the "Anti-collapse Special Alloy III Generation" to lay the foundation for other projects.

Compared with the "space-time rupture technology", the difficulty of special alloys is much lower and less things are required, so Ai Yue plans to stay up all night and try to get it done tonight.

But at this moment, Padofelice's urgent voice came from outside the door: "Brother Yue, Brother Yue, are you asleep? There is something good!"

"The incoming goods are a bit fast today, aren't they?" Ai Yue walked out of the house, not paying too much attention to the girl's words. "What's it this time?"

No matter what Padolfelice stole, she would say it was a good thing. At first, Ai Yue would be a little expectant, but now he has learned to regulate his expectations to avoid being too disappointed.

However, when Padofelice placed the metal box in her hand on the coffee table, Ai Yue's expression suddenly froze.

Printed on the surface of the metal box was a familiar-looking logo: a fluttering moth with flame-like patterns at the ends of its wings.

This time it’s really good stuff - this is the Fire Moth’s mission equipment box!

Chapter 4 Pink Girls, but there are two of them

The Fire Moth, as the organization that truly governs civilization and fights against destruction in this world, is almost equivalent to the Earth United Government.

As an apparently unremarkable human settlement, Dusk Street theoretically has no chance of encountering the existence of the Fire Moth, unless something worthy of the Fire Moth's attention occurs on Dusk Street.

In the original plot, the intersection of Dusk Street and Fire Moth was due to the large-scale spread of the sanatorium's collapse energy, which infected most of the residents of Dusk Street. Coupled with a metaphorical song, it led to the destruction of the entire Dusk Street.

Although Ai Yue did some things to try to change the course of the future, it seemed that the Fire Moth would notice Dusk Street no matter what.

In this way, the matter of the sanatorium will definitely not be covered up.

All I can say is that what is meant to come will eventually come.

Ai Yue shook his head slightly and did not try to dismantle the box violently: "I have no use for this thing. If you want to use it, you have to go next door."

This is actually a lie. The metal used in this box itself is something that Ai Yue has never used before. It is conceivable that the things inside must be very helpful to him.

But the situation is still unclear, so Ai Yue decided to let Paduo run to the next settlement to hide according to the original plot. In the original plot, the other party escaped because of this.

The next door that Ai Yue mentioned actually refers to another settlement across an uninhabited area. If Padofelice sold the stolen items on Dusk Street, clues would be easily found, so she chose to sell valuable items in other settlements.

Although the price will be lowered, it is still much safer.

"Is that so? That's nothing we can do." Padofelice glanced at Ai Yue, who didn't seem to notice anything, and nodded. "It seems I'll have to wait until I get back to get the canned food."

Padufils obviously planned to leave now. After all, this thing looked like a hot potato, and she wanted to deal with it as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

After seeing off Padofelice, Ai Yue was not idle either. He went back to the house, took out a handbag, picked up a box of canned food, turned around and left home.

The sanatorium is located in the center of today's Dusk Street. It was formerly a church, but now few people can maintain their former faith.

Ai Yue came to the backyard of the church with ease, took out the spare key from the corner, opened the gate and walked in.

After taking a few steps, I felt a fierce gaze suddenly cast towards me.

Ai Yue turned his head and saw a masked man leaning on a broom looking at him. It was obvious that he was cleaning the backyard.

"Hey, Master Qian." Ai Yue greeted casually, "Are you still cleaning so late?"

The person in front of him was named Qianjie, a helper in the sanatorium, responsible for odd jobs like cleaning and moving things. He was usually taciturn and only showed his irritable side when facing the owner of the sanatorium.

Of course, now only Ai Yue knows how dangerous the person in front of him is.

"I was punished." Qianjie responded simply, "Why are you here at this time?"

"There's a troublesome guy on Dusk Street, probably heading this way." Ai Yue handed the can in his hand to Qian Jie, "Is Aponya here?"

He was not surprised at all that Qianjie was punished - it would be a surprise if Qianjie was not punished one day.

"She's telling the kids a bedtime story." Qianjie took the can and turned to walk towards the warehouse. "Go in by yourself. I get annoyed when I see her."

Ai Yue didn't care and turned to walk into the house.

The current owner of the sanatorium, Aponia, was originally a nun in the church. She was born with extraordinary superpowers, but she was also a person who often made things worse.

For example, the reason why Dusk Street was destroyed in the original plot was because she couldn't bear to see people who were eroded by the Honkai die in pain, so she tried to gather them for treatment.

This approach did reduce the chance of Honkai infection in Dusk Street at the beginning, but the Honkai infected people concentrated together became a larger source of infection, which eventually led to an all-out outbreak, so that Dusk Street almost turned into a dead zone.

Of course, this is just the ending that would have appeared in the original plot - at least now this possibility has been strangled in the cradle by Ai Yue.

Ai Yue found the room where the children lived with ease, knocked on the door and walked in.

There were about a dozen children in the room, the oldest was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was only five or six years old. They sat around a woman with long flaxen hair, listening attentively to a story she had told countless times.

"It's Brother Ai Yue!"

Seeing someone come in, the children were stunned for a moment, then ran over excitedly and surrounded Ai Yue: "Brother Ai Yue is here, do you have new toys?"

In the children's hearts, Ai Yue is a super kind person who brings them fun toys every time he comes, so he is very popular here.

"Of course I have," Ai Yue smiled and raised the handbag in his hand so that everyone could see it. "But before that, I have to check if everyone has taken the things I gave you."

"I'm bringing it with me."

Everyone responded in unison, and at the same time raised the things hanging around their necks to show them to Ai Yue.

It was a pendant with a very simple appearance, looking like a shoddy product. Its size was also exaggerated, several times larger than ordinary pendants. It looked a bit funny hanging around the children's necks.

But this is a guarantee that can allow them to live a few more years.

Ai Yue took the pendant from the child beside him, and the system immediately displayed the information of this item -

"Honkai Energy Adsorption Device (Normal)"

Current Status: Good

"Core load rate: 67%"

This is the third thing Ai Yue has made since coming to this world, and it is also the most crucial one.

This thing he called "Honkai Energy Filter" can not only suppress the corrosive reaction in the body of a person infected with Honkai Energy, but also absorb the Honkai Energy emitted from the infected person, thereby effectively blocking the Honkai Energy infection.

With this thing, plus the large adsorption devices he placed throughout the sanatorium, he could basically prevent any Honkai energy explosions from occurring on Dusk Street.

Of course, this kind of thing still needs regular maintenance. After all, it can only absorb Honkai energy but cannot purify it. Once overloaded, it will cause the Honkai energy stored inside to explode, causing the infection to worsen.

Therefore, Ai Yue would come to the sanatorium regularly every ten days to replace the core.

The cores that absorbed Honkai energy were also good things. Ai Yue could collect them and make them into a stable energy source to power various other small things on his body.

For example, the "space-time rupture generator" he is using now.

After replacing the cores for everyone and taking out the prepared toys, Ai Yue finally got rid of the children's blockade.

"You are still so popular, Mr. Ai Yue."

Aponya, who had been observing all this with a smile, came over at this time. She urged the children to go to bed quickly, and then bowed to Ai Yue. "But why are you here so late? Is there something important?"

Aponia is still wearing a very conservative nun's uniform. However, even this kind of clothes that wraps the person like a sack cannot completely hide her exaggerated figure. As her body movements, it always inadvertently outlines her amazing body curves.

However, Ai Yue had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Seeing Aponya coming over, he immediately stepped back, frantically rummaging through his handbag for something.

When Aponya started talking, Ai Yue finally took out a pair of full-coverage earmuffs and put them on his head.

As a weak woman, Aponia was able to build a sanatorium in this chaotic world, protecting so many displaced people from harm and ensuring that they had enough food and clothing. Naturally, she had her own abilities.

She possesses an incredible talent and is a natural hypnotist. She can use words to issue commands and constraints to others, thereby restricting their behavior.

This ability is called "Discipline" by Aponya, and the earmuffs worn by Ai Yue are used to resist the opponent's ability.

It is called "Anti-Abonya Earmuffs" and is developed using the opponent's hair as the basic material. In theory, it can filter out the power of "commandments" in the opponent's words, thus making it immune to the opponent's hypnosis.

But the reason why it is only theoretical is because Aponia did not use the commandments on Ai Yue after he put on this thing.

"Mr. Ai Yue, if you keep acting like this, even I'd be unhappy." Aponiya and Ai Yue walked out of the room, closed the door, and spoke in her usual calm voice, "I've repeatedly emphasized to you that I'll never use the Discipline on you unless it's a special situation. Why don't you trust me?"

"I trust you very much, really." Ai Yue nodded sincerely, "However, there are some things that I have to consider in advance - for example, if you think this is a special case, what should I do?"

Aponya gave him a speechless look and decided to change the subject: "So, you're visiting me tonight. Is there something urgent? For example, do you have new goods that need buyers?"

Aponya has special abilities, is a native of Dusk Street, and takes care of so many patients, so she is very famous. Even rich people choose to get along well with her by donating supplies to the sanatorium, so she has a wide network of contacts.

After making the Honkai Energy Adsorption Device, Ai Yue became Aponia's most important customer, and thus gained her friendship. He was able to use her connections to sell the things he made in exchange for some canned food to survive.

With Aponia as a guarantor, buyers are more likely to trust Ai Yue. At the same time, Ai Yue can sell goods more easily, and the sanatorium can also take a commission and get some supplies. It can be said that it is a win-win situation for everyone.

"It's not, but..." Ai Yue wanted to explain it briefly, but suddenly froze, then smiled, "No, it seems that you can say that?"

Aponia just waited quietly for his next words without saying anything.

"The sanatorium will soon welcome a special guest." Ai Yue changed his words, "And I plan to sell you, me, this sanatorium, oh, and Master Qian, all for a good price."

"Such a big deal isn't something that ordinary people can do." Aponya didn't get angry at Ai Yue's frivolous description, but continued to ask, "Mr. Ai Yue, who are you trading with this time?"

Just as Ai Yue was about to speak, he saw a little nun trotting over hurriedly: "Master Aponya, a strange guest has arrived... Hey, is Mr. Ai Yue here?"

Ai Yue smiled at her and said, "Is it the lady with pink hair?"

The little nun was a little shy hiding behind Aponya, but still half of her body was exposed. When she heard Ai Yue's question, she nodded: "Yes, both ladies have beautiful pink hair."

Two people with pink hair? Besides Sakura, theoretically, the only one with pink hair seems to be...

Ai Yue thought for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief: "It seems that the outcome of this matter will be better than I imagined."

Thinking of this, Ai Yue looked at Aponya on the side and said, "Let's go and meet the new guests."

At this moment, two uninvited guests were talking in a low voice in the church.
