"Welcome to this city, you may freely choose to move around here, explore, and familiarize yourself with the way of life here"
A 2-meter-long machine was slowly moving.
Its appearance was similar to a fighter jet, but it still had some limbs below its body, allowing it to crawl on the ground.
This fighter jet was controlled by Lin. It used to be over 10 meters long, but in order to enter this city, it had to be modified into this form.
Its control system was taken out and placed inside a canister, then a body was assembled around the canister, resulting in this form.
A fighter jet that was much smaller than the previous one.
As for the other aircraft, they were still parked outside the city. Because Lin said that there was only one main control system, they could only store the system inside the canister. Other aircraft, as well as other things that were previously brought in, such as the mechanical beetles, were not allowed to be brought in.
The only things that could enter this city were the brain parts.
As for why this city had such a strange rule, Lin was still unclear. She only knew that a lot of creatures chose to follow the rules and enter this city.
Looking around, the ground of the city was made up of alternating silver and white, giving off a very dazzling appearance. Many machines could be seen walking on the ground.
They came in various shapes and sizes, some moved on wheels, some moved on limbs, and some floated. Almost all of them were less than 3 meters tall. Although they all looked like machines, before entering the city, they were all living creatures of various kinds, including cellular creatures.
After entering the city, their brains were stored inside canister, their bodies were disassembled and discarded, and a new mechanical body was installed.
This way, they could officially become residents of this city.
What made the residents of this city willingly give up everything but their brains to enter this city? From what Lin understood, it might be difficult to live outside, but it was still possible to live in this city.
The way of life in this city was very similar to the way of life in other cities. Looking at the top of the city, one could see a lot of pipes, while the ground was filled with pillars to support those pipes.
Around the pillars, there were many shops and other such places. The mechanical residents walked in and out of these shops, using money to buy things, seemingly living a very normal life.
In short, let's take a stroll around this place first.
Lin controlled the fighter to slowly move forward. Using the internal control system, she was able to perfectly control this new body, which seemed to be the same for other creatures.
Lin looked at the machines around her. She didn't know if they used a brain or some other kind of nervous system, but they all seemed to be able to adapt to mechanical bodies.
It was not easy for this city to be able to do this. This meant that it had a complete understanding of the neural structure of all kinds of creatures and could even create mechanical bodies that could accept their neural commands.
Lin wanted to see how they did it.
Another question was, where was the ruler of this city? All the residents here, like Lin, had joined from outside.
Lin was also quite interested in who was behind the custom rule of putting brains into cans.
However, it was better to increase the number of troops first.
With that in mind, Lin looked ahead. Not far ahead, Lin found a target that seemed like it could be used to increase the number of cell soldiers.
It was a cylindrical machine with a height of more than one meter. It had a mechanical arm on each side and three wheels at the bottom for movement. Most importantly, the top of the cylinder was transparent. Lin could see a brain floating inside.
It was obviously the brain of a cellular creature.
In fact, there were many similar machines nearby. Their parts that housed the brain or nervous system were transparent, so they could be seen clearly.
Lin didn't know why they would expose their weakness like this, but it might not be something they could decide.
Then, Lin walked towards the mechanical brain in front of her. It was motionless in the same place, as if it was waiting for something.
When Lin was less than two meters away from it, it suddenly turned around and said to Lin, "Are you new here?"
It spoke in a very pure Dusty Crocodile language, but Lin felt that it was not a language it knew. It was speaking through a device with a translation function on it.
"How do you know?" Lin replied to it.
"I can detect it. This is a function that can only be obtained after the upgrade," the mechanical brain said. "You've just arrived here, so you don't know anything. When you came in, the entrance didn't tell you anything. It just let you explore the city on your own."
"Life here is like this. All newcomers have to understand the way of life here. Many died here before they could understand it." When the mechanical brain said that, Lin thought it was laughing.
"But you don't have to worry, because you've met me." The mechanical brain said, "I'm here to receive newcomers and show them the way. As long as you listen to me, you can live well."
"Then how do I do it?" Lin continued to ask.
"Work, of course," the mechanical brain said, "Where are you from? I think you're an intelligent machine. In short, to live here, you need to work to get the energy to live."
"Come with me. I have a lot of empty spots here. That's why I want to recruit newcomers." With that, the mechanical brain turned around and walked away. Lin hesitated for half a second before following it.
According to what it said, this city was exactly the same as a city of ordinary creatures. However, it was said that most of the residents here came from various civilizations in Midgard.
And among these civilizations, most of them were creatures with individuality.
Perhaps Midgard felt that other types of creatures were more difficult to destroy, like species with a division of labor.
Then, Lin followed the mechanical brain to a support pillar. This pillar was very large, about 30 meters in diameter.
Under the pillar, there was a shop. The shop's name flashed with a strong light. From afar, it was just a ball of light, but when one got closer, it instantly changed into Dusty Crocodile language. It meant: Assembly and Parts.
The name seemed very ordinary.
"You're here." The moment Lin entered the shop, she heard a very loud voice. "Are you going to add or disassemble? The thing you brought is not bad."
