The Mars colony was experiencing a similar experience to Brahma.
As the Celestial Trade Marines went deeper, the underground "natives" gradually began to show their sharp claws. Initially, it was Devil Worms, but now it was the Corruptors that could spit acid and tear prey with their claws and teeth.
What was next?
Jiang Chen didn't know, or no one in the world knew.
All news related to Mine 071 was suppressed by Celestial Trade. After the Marines involved in the operation were interviewed, the entire incident was covered up as the discovery of Devil Worms near Mine 071. Because Future Mining was not involved, the aftermath of this incident was much easier than the last time, and it didn't even attract the attention of the international community.
As for the families of the soldiers who died, of course, without exception, they received a generous pension. Although it couldn't make up for the pain of losing a loved one, it could at least make the living live a little better in the future.
"What the Mars colony needs is not reinforcements, but solutions."
"The question is what is the solution?"
"We need specimens, more specimens! Only by understanding their structure can we defeat them! "
"It's not difficult to defeat them. No creature can resist electromagnetic pulse cannons and flames. The problem is … there are too many of them. "
There were constant discussions in the conference room. However, contrary to the intense discussion, so far, the senior executives of Project 071 did not discuss any feasible solutions.
Specimens, more specimens.
It seemed easy to say, but it was much more difficult to collect specimens of the Corruptors than to collect Devil Worms.
This kind of underground creature did not seem to be good at digging, at least their digging speed was far worse than the Devil Worms that swam underground. However, on the other hand, they were more intelligent, especially when it came to "planting" oxygen-producing fungi.
For these reasons, their underground range was not very wide.
Some people even speculated that the nest of the Corruptors was located near the ruins of the Gaia civilization. What the Celestial Trade Marines excavated was only their newly developed nest. After all, the ultrasonic fence drove away the Devil Worms in this area, made more space, and made them lose their natural enemies that might threaten their activities in this area.
The meeting temporarily came to an end.
He walked into the lounge next door, made himself a cup of coffee, and sat down in the chair.
A question had been bothering him these days.
Why did the monster he saw in the memory of the Harmony civilization appear under Mine 071? If he remembered correctly, the source of these Corruptors was the specimen library of the Gaia civilization. However, according to the memory of the Gaia civilization, they did not travel that far.
"… All three camps had established research stations on Mars before the war. The cause of the Third World War was the economic crisis of 2150, the Gaia civilization 3.7 billion years ago, Gliese 581g …"
His fingers gently tapped on the edge of the coffee cup. He looked at the rising white mist and organized the information in his head.
In the unseen world, he had a premonition.
He was very close to the truth.
Just then, the door to the lounge opened, and Ayesha walked behind Jiang Chen with light steps.
Feeling the gentle massage on his shoulder, Jiang Chen smiled, closed his eyes comfortably, relaxed his muscles, and leaned back in the chair.
"Is it comfortable?"
"Excellent."
His lips curled into a happy smile. He could only accept it.
"Have you been busy lately?"
"Mhmm, trouble always crashes." Jiang Chen sighed softly and said in a joking tone, "Sometimes I wish I could divide myself into three people. One person stays in the geosynchronous orbit, and one person guards Coro Island. "
As for the other person, Jiang Chen did not say, but Ayesha knew that he was referring to the world that had been destroyed by the war.
Speaking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the number X 71291 he picked up from Subway Line 0.
He didn't know how Lin Lin was doing.
If she could help, a lot of things would be much easier …
Probably?
…
"Achoo!"
Lin Lin, who was wearing a white lab coat, sneezed and rubbed her red nose. She then threw the welding torch aside.
"Who's thinking about me …"
Lin Lin muttered in a low voice. She skillfully reached out and quickly tapped a few times on the holographic screen.
Looking at the parameters in the chart that were stabilizing, she slowly let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the "artwork" on the operating table, her mouth gradually turned into a proud curvature. Her small chest was slightly raised as she bragged to the empty "person".
"Hehe, it's indeed my masterpiece. It's at least one-tenth of my beauty … no, one percent."
Just as her little nose was about to reach the sky, a very untimely voice floated over.
"Humph, a weak body."
At some point, the "artwork" lying on the operating table had opened its eyes and was looking at the self-praising Lin Lin with a pair of pale eyes.
Her flawless white skin was enough to make all the women in the world envious. Her lotus-like arms and legs were like exquisite porcelain dolls. Her soft golden hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. Her light brown eyes were a bit ethereal. She was like an elf girl who had walked out of an oil painting.
"Shut up." Lin Lin put her hands on her hips and glared at her. "Do you know how much time it took me to create this body for you?"
"Well, for a dabbler, it's just so-so …"
Ignoring the furious Lin Lin, the girl said this sentence in a calm tone. She got up from the operating table and stood on the ground.
She walked in front of the mirror and turned around. She nodded slightly and then said in an impolite tone.
"Lend me the lab for two days."
"What?"
"This body is too weak. I need to create a more convenient body for myself," the girl said matter-of-factly.
"A convenient body?" Lin Lin raised her eyebrows suspiciously. "What do you want to do?"
She wasn't afraid that X 71291 would erase the restrictions on her body, because the so-called restrictions were not on this body. Her body was still in the apocalypse – the quantum computer that was moved from Line 0 to Wanghai and was now heavily guarded. Other than a quantum computer of the same scale, there was no other place in the world that could be used as a shelter for it.
As to what controlled this body, it was only a chipset installed with a Klein particle transmitter.
In other words, if she did anything unpleasant, Jiang Chen or anyone on Lin Lin's side could shut down her "brain" in the shortest amount of time.
Although X 71291 expressed that she was not interested in doing something meaningless, basic precautions were still necessary.
Artificial intelligence was a double-edged sword.
Jiang Chen deeply agreed with this.
If used well, perhaps as X 71291 said, it could increase his chance of winning by 1%.
But if used poorly, he wouldn't be surprised by anything that happened …
"If the host's life function stops, my self-destruct program will also start, right?" The girl said emotionlessly.
"That's right." Because it was discussed beforehand, Lin Lin admitted this point. "Just like what we agreed, protecting Jiang Chen's safety is also one of your obligations. If something happens to him, regardless of whether it is related to you or not, we will destroy you. "
The girl nodded and spread out her two small arms.
"So, what do you expect me to do in this form?"
Lin Lin's expression was a bit awkward.
Obviously, she also realized the problem.
Other than the titanium alloy skeleton, this body looked like a cute little girl. Not to mention basic combat power, it would be a miracle if she didn't attract weird people on the street.
"What weapon do you need? Electromagnetic pulse cannon? Gamma ray? Or a normal thermal weapon? I'll add … "
"No need, I can do it myself." The girl shook her head, but in her indifferent pupils, there was a look that made Lin Lin furious.
That look.
It was clearly a mockery of her superb technology!
But while she was furious, Lin Lin couldn't think of a way to refute.
After all, it was a mockery from advanced artificial intelligence …
