Titan-class pulse laser cannon
"It would be great if I had a spatial ring with a super large capacity." Xia Fei muttered to himself. His spatial ring was already filled to the brim with items from the ancient civilization that he had obtained from the ruins, so there was no more space left.
Your spatial ring has a space of twenty cubic meters. If you want to store all the ores in there, you will need at least ten thousand cubic meters. I have never heard of such a large spatial item in my life. Spiritshadow said.
Xia Fei shrugged helplessly. We wont be able to get out of here anytime soon, so we might as well do a thorough search of this place first.
Going back the way they came, Lil Pea was like the most enthusiastic tour guide, constantly explaining the structure of this deep-sea mining site to Xia Fei. From what he said, Xia Fei learned that this energy stone was actually an extremely precious raw material in the ancient civilization, and this mining base was managed semi-militarily. The energy shield not only blocked the existence of the mine but also blocked any external search signals, which was why this place had remained undiscovered until now.
Though Clean Knife had escaped, the corpses of his three companions were left behind. Xia Fei searched all three of them, finding several weapons and three spatial rings of different sizes. The largest of the three rings was five cubic meters, while the smallest did not even have one cubic meter. Most of the items inside were supplies, and there were not many truly high-grade items. Xia Fei's eyesight was now much higher than before, so he did not pay much attention to these ordinary items.
"Could Clean Knife be hiding in the dark, preparing to ambush you? This place has been completely sealed off. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to escape. "Gui Ying said with some worry.
Xia Fei shook his head. He's heavily injured. Even if he had a thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble for me. The only unfortunate thing is that I can't catch him. Those who can use boundary techniques are truly troublesome.
After putting away all the items he had found, Xia Fei suddenly noticed that the flirtatious woman's pinky finger was missing.
A knife wound. It was completely cut off by someone. It shouldn't be the work of those robot warriors. Their weapons are much heavier, so it's impossible for them to create such a fine wound, Phantom said after checking.
"Clean Knife, it's you again." Xia Fei muttered to himself, "Perhaps you didn't notice, but I remember very clearly that when we left this place for the warehouse, that woman's pinky finger was still intact, but by the time we got back, it was gone. Clean Knife must have taken the opportunity to cut it off."
"You remember it so clearly?" A person's eyesight and memory would always be limited. He could not understand how Xia Fei could even remember such a small detail.
"The girl was wearing a very special ring on her little finger. It was inlaid with a golden nine-headed snake, so I took a second look at it."
"Could it be a spatial ring?"
"That's possible. Clean Knife must not want us to get our hands on this ring, which is why he's willing to take the risk to appear again and take the ring."
"What is the secret of this ring?" Gui Ying was puzzled and thought hard about it.
Xia Fei collected all the valuable items into the warehouse, and it did not take long for the huge warehouse to be filled with all sorts of equipment from the ancient civilization. Some were for office use, while others were for mining. All sorts of equipment were different, but they all had one thing in common: they were all very valuable.
Phantom looked at the warehouse filled with spoils of war with satisfaction. "I can give this automatic ice cream machine to Avrils. One thousand and three hundred flavors should be enough for her to eat for quite some time. There's also this gourmet mixing machine. A young lady from a wealthy family like her will surely not know how to cook …"
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. Though he had a lot of things, he still felt that he was missing something.
"Pod, since this is a semi-military base, there should be some weapons and equipment here, right?"
"There are. Those bad robots that you dismantled are the security guards here."
"What else?"
"That's all I have, though there's a very mysterious room that Pod has never been to, so I don't know what's inside."
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. "Where's that room? Bring me there. "
Following a long and narrow corridor, the robot Pod led Xia Fei to a place that looked very much like a mine shaft.
"This used to be an abandoned mine shaft. In Civilization Calendar Year 529364, people from the heritage department suddenly came to our mine shaft and built a few offices in this abandoned mine shaft. After that, a small team was stationed here for a long period of time. They lived together with the people in the mine shaft, but they never allowed anyone to enter their office. Even the brothers in charge of cleaning were turned away."
The heritage department was a purely technical department in charge of the reproduction of humans and the continuation of technology in the ancient civilization, so it was unknown why they had suddenly come to this deep sea mining base.
Speaking of which, it was common for secret departments to temporarily work in some secret location to avoid arousing suspicion or for reasons of confidentiality. For example, the investigation department often worked among the people because their own base was too sensitive and could be monitored by people with ulterior motives.
What was certain was that the heritage department would not temporarily work here for no reason at all. There had to be a huge secret hidden here.
"The people from the heritage department worked here for about half a year, and then Arrival Day arrived," Pod whispered.
Xia Fei continued Pod's words. "The robots suddenly rebelled after Arrival Day and killed all the people in this base, right?"
Pod's electronic eyes were filled with anger. "They're all bad robots! Robots and humans are friends! Robots have to serve humans and can't harm humans. They've gone against the beliefs they've been instilled with since birth! "
"Then why didn't you betray humanity?" Xia Fei asked.
"On the day of Advent Day, Lil Pea also received the order to eliminate humans, but Lil Pea's analysis system concluded that the message was wrong, so it blocked the order. In fact, not all robots accepted this order. Many brothers blocked the order like Lil Pea, and some collapsed because they could not reach a conclusion due to the overly complex analysis and calculations."
"Unfortunately, there were far more robots that accepted the order than those that didn't, so the bad robots still had the upper hand," Pod helplessly said.
Xia Fei nodded. "Who gave you such an order to get rid of the humans?"
Pod answered, "It was the Sentinel Goddess."
"The Sentinel Goddess?"
"She wasn't a human but the main control computer of all the robots back then. She had a complex calculation ability that surpassed all others, and she was in charge of monitoring the operation of all the robots and issuing all sorts of orders."
Xia Fei was very puzzled by the destruction of the ancient civilization. The ultimate AI computer created by humans had issued the order to destroy human civilization. It could be understood that the one who betrayed humanity was the Sentinel Goddess, while the other robots were only loyally carrying out her orders.
It was like a queen and her subordinates. The biggest mistake the ancient humans made was perhaps letting the robots manage the robots themselves.
"Why didn't these cleaning and mining robots betray humanity?" Xia Fei asked.
"Because they're only semi-intelligent models and can't establish a connection with the Sentinel Goddess, so her orders are ineffective against them."
It seemed that in order to solve the mystery of the destruction of the ancient civilization, he first had to understand why the Sentinel Goddess would betray humanity. It was also unknown whether this supercomputer with the ability to perform logical calculations still existed in this world.
Xia Fei only had a simple understanding of the near-extinction of humanity and did not ask too many questions. After all, it was something that happened a very, very long time ago, and the human civilization of today was very different from the past. Humans no longer relied on robots, and the ancient robot army that could destroy everything had long since disappeared. The truth of history was left for historians to research, and Xia Fei was more concerned about what was happening at the moment.
After walking along the mine for about ten minutes, Xia Fei was blocked by an alloy door with a heavy password mechanism.
"This is the office of the heritage division," Pod said. "You need a password to open this door."
Xia Fei nodded. He took out his tools and opened the outer shell of the password lock, deciphering the layers of protection. This was not the first time Xia Fei had deciphered the multi-password lock of the ancient civilization, so he was very familiar with the process.
* Pa! *
The alloy door slowly opened, and the dozens of fluorescent lights in the room were switched on one by one. Xia Fei walked into the room and saw that it was filled with blueprints of various sizes. It seemed that these people were studying these blueprints.
Xia Fei curiously stared at the blueprints on the wall. "An energy acceleration system? This is a warp speed analysis diagram … "
"Hmm? These blueprints seem to be structural components, but I wonder what it will be when I put them together?" Xia Fei muttered to himself with furrowed brows.
There was also a smaller room inside. Xia Fei opened the door and walked in. The office facilities here were of a higher grade than the ones outside, and it seemed to be where the project management department worked.
The only structural blueprint on the wall answered Xia Fei's doubts. After looking at the exterior and reading the explanation at the bottom, Xia Fei could not help but gasp.
"Just what kind of blueprints are these?" Phantom curiously asked.
"Do you still remember that colossal warship we saw in the Death Trio Star Region, the Titan-class warship?"
"Of course I remember. I've never seen such a gigantic warship even in my dreams. The shock it left me was incomparable," Phantom said somewhat excitedly. In truth, anyone who had seen such a colossal warship would never forget it, for it was an existence that surpassed the limits of human imagination.
"Thats a giant pulse laser cannon, the main weapon of the Titan-class warship," Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Phantom was stunned. "Is this really the blueprint for a Titan-class warship?"
"I'm sure."
