Xiao Ran did not waste any time along the way. They left the Stronghold, entered the warp jump tunnel, approached the Moon, and entered the Moon. He even arranged for the technical personnel related to Shirema to gather on the Moon.
In the Moon Research Module, Kiliam brought Xiao Ran to see the so-called positioning device. It was a set of equipment that looked slightly complicated and messy. There were lines and pipes everywhere, connected to a specially made chair in the middle of the room. However, there was no one on the chair now, and it looked even more messy and complicated than the last time he came here.
Positioning the world where Sophia's body was located naturally relied on Sophia's soul that was currently attached to Chidori's body, so the core was undoubtedly Sophia. Therefore, Xiao Ran did not need to ask what these things were used for. It was clear at a glance. As for how they worked, Xiao Ran did not need to figure it out.
However, there were other questions that Xiao Ran had to pay attention to. "Is this the positioning device? Is it safe? "
Kiliam looked at the messy pipes and slightly crude equipment in front of him and said, "It's safe. After all, it was made with Chidori and Sophia's safety as the top priority. It looks a little messy. Even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in our industrial foundation. However, this is just a test product. It will be improved in the future."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Are there any problems connecting to the other world?"
"No. Sophia can clearly feel her body. It's a body that truly belongs to her, unlike Chidori's, so there's no problem. However, because the test has just ended, the most crucial test feedback is all provided by Sophia herself."
Kiliam frowned slightly and said, "The problem is that we have no way to determine whether the feedback from Sophia is real or not. Blindly going there is also a problem. There's no guarantee of safety. It's tantamount to handing over one's life to Sophia. If the feedback is false, the people who are sent over will be in danger."
Xiao Ran said, "Let me talk to her first."
"That's the only way." Kiliam nodded and said, "I will also contact the technical department and see if there is any way to confirm the situation on the other side."
"Right now, it's very difficult for the technical department to spare any manpower. The new project has just started and has to be completed before the dimensional beasts attack. It concerns whether we can capture all the dimensional beasts in one fell swoop and complete the mission. I'm afraid we won't be able to spare any manpower to help you."
Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "I'll talk to Sophia in person first. If the result is good, then there's no need to go through so much trouble."
Not long after, Xiao Ran saw Sophia. She used Chidori's body, but didn't have Chidori's rich expressions and eyes. She looked more like a lady as she walked in front of Xiao Ran.
"Please take a seat." Xiao Ran gestured for Sophia to sit down. Kiliam also remained silent. Sophia looked at Xiao Ran, then calmly sat in front of Xiao Ran.
"Miss Sophia, thank you for your hard work during this time." Xiao Ran was polite at first, then he went into the main topic of the conversation. "I heard from Kiliam about your progress during this time, so I hurried over from Jupiter. I wonder if Miss Sophia has been concerned about what happened outside during this time? Also, about the division of ranks within our legion. "
Sophia nodded lightly, but there was not much expression on her face. "If you want to say that the dimensional channel will no longer appear on Earth and that you have moved the battlefield to Jupiter, then I should know. The grade of the mech represents the difference in the mech's combat power. An A-grade mech combined with an A-grade pilot already has the combat power to suppress many countries on Earth. Even with Lambda Drive, it will be difficult to resist. As for an S-grade mech, it will either destroy an entire planet or an entire civilization.
Sophia had stayed in the Burning Legion module for so long, and many of the people she came into contact with were also members of the Burning Legion. Although the backbone of this project was indeed the Whisperers and herself, the core and the people responsible for the operation of this module were still members of the Burning Legion. After such a long time, they must have learned a lot of information about the Burning Legion.
Xiao Ran was not surprised by this. He nodded and said, "Yes, the situation is like this. Now, our legion has many S-grade pilots, and there are even more A-grade pilots. However, we are still fully prepared for the final battle with the dimensional beasts because there are too many dimensional beasts. There are so many that we can't kill them all even if they just stand there and let us kill them. Moreover, the number of S-grade combat power of the dimensional beasts is higher than ours. Once the battle starts, it will be a difficult and intense battle."
Sophia looked at Xiao Ran. Her gaze seemed to be asking Xiao Ran why he was telling her all this. After all, as a technician, it was difficult for Sophia to provide much help on the battlefield.
Seeing Sophia's gaze, Xiao Ran just smiled and said, "I remember telling you that dimensional beasts have the ability to locate a world and cross worlds."
"That's right."
Xiao Ran continued to smile. "At that time, I told you that if you don't eliminate the dimensional beasts, you won't be able to reset this world because you will always face the attacks of dimensional beasts. There will be no chance to bring out the technology and reset it. At the same time, we also reached an agreement. We are willing to invest all our power to save you from the other world. Of course, because of the dimensional beasts, the so-called all our power can only be at the level you are in contact with now. After all, the threat posed by dimensional beasts is greater."
"The dimensional beasts have the ability to find the other world where your real body is now through your existence, and then cross over to destroy your world. When that time comes, there will be no turning back. So, no matter what you think, at least we have the same attitude towards dimensional beasts. We need you, and you need us."
"We need you to help us protect this world, so as to protect all the worlds that may be invaded by dimensional beasts. And you also need us to save you from your pain and obtain a brand new life. From this point of view, there are actually a lot of areas where we can work together. Your abilities and everything about you are extremely special, and the Burning Legion can let you bring out all your specialness. It can also let you hide all of this, and let you obtain the power to truly protect yourself."
"That's why, Miss Sophia, I'm here to extend an invitation to you once again. I hope that you can join the Burning Legion and truly become a part of the Burning Legion, joining our big family. We don't have much time left. The dimensional beasts are closing in step by step. At the very least, before the dimensional beasts arrive, we can truly let go of all thoughts of rejection and unite as one, and work hard together to deal with the dimensional beasts. I also don't wish to face the problem of you constantly preparing to reset this world after dealing with the dimensional beasts while facing the dimensional beasts."
Sophia lowered her head slightly and didn't give any answer. Xiao Ran wasn't in a hurry, nor did he urge her. Previously, she didn't give Xiao Ran an accurate answer and joined the research project. The Burning Legion wasn't the only one bearing the pressure from the dimensional beasts. To some extent, Sophia was also under a lot of pressure. In Xiao Ran's eyes, Sophia's real problem was that she didn't know what she was looking forward to and what she needed.
Xiao Ran could give Sophia a lot of things. It could be said that as long as Sophia needed something and the legion had it, Xiao Ran could give it to her. But for Sophia, what Xiao Ran needed was only the technology to create a world. Of course, the value of this technology was certainly quite terrifying. The other thing was naturally the current world.
Sophia remained silent for a long time. One hour, two hours. During this time, Xiao Ran didn't say a word. Even his actions rarely changed. Kiliam didn't express his opinion at all. It was as if he was completely invisible. He sat with his arms crossed and had no sense of existence.
Suddenly, Sophia slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Ran, who had been waiting for her reply for two hours. She slowly opened her mouth and said, "Okay, I can join you, but you have to agree to a few of my requests. I know that once I join you, even after you finish dealing with the dimensional beasts, I won't have much of a chance of resisting or rejecting you. But if you want me to help you willingly and join you, you have to agree to these few conditions. Otherwise, even if I die, even if I completely give up on this world, I will never agree to any of your conditions."
Kiliam's eyes widened and then drooped down again, continuing to maintain his little sense of existence. Xiao Ran smiled and said rather sincerely, "Please go ahead."
"You want me to join your technical department, but I'm not willing. Even if I join you, I hope to be able to live a life of complete freedom. This is the first condition."
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and said, "I can agree. You will be able to live a life of complete freedom and receive the corresponding treatment of the highest-level technicians in the army. However, I still hope that you can join the technical department. It would be a real pity if your abilities were wasted like this."
Sophia said indifferently, "If you don't agree, then there's nothing to talk about."
"Hehe, okay." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I agree to this condition of yours, but I also have a request. I hope that you can assist us in completing the true multi-world creation technology. After completing this technology, you can do whatever you want."
Sophia was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay."
Xiao Ran asked, "What else?"
Sophia said, "Help me complete my revenge. This shouldn't be a big deal for you."
"No problem. This can't even be considered a condition. You can state all your conditions."
For a moment, Sophia didn't know what to ask for. Revenge, freedom, and a future. Moreover, she didn't have to worry about her life anymore. After a brief consideration, Sophia felt that there was nothing else to ask.
Seeing Sophia's expression, Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "I understand. Apart from these, I'll also give you the Corps' high-level authority, a special high-level authority. That way, even if you really have something else you want to do, you can do it by relying on your own authority. I won't have to agree to any conditions or requests of yours."
"The Corps' high-level authority and the treatment of the highest-level technicians are enough to let you live a carefree and happy life in any world forever."
Sophia looked at Xiao Ran and said, "There's no problem with contacting the world through that device. Mr. Kiliam, you also know that the problem is the time. Compared to this world, the time in that world is practically stagnant. This is because this world appeared based on my thoughts and gradually evolved into what it is today. Because thoughts can move infinitely fast, a year, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years is an eternity in that world."
"My situation in the other world isn't good. I'm in a state of near death, so you must be fully prepared before and after the teleportation. Otherwise, once my body enters this world, I'll only face death."
"Just these two problems. If they can be solved, then everything will be easy to talk about."
Kiliam finally began to show his presence. "I already have some ideas about time. When the time comes, Xiao Ran will personally go to your world and bring your body out of that world. At the same time, your near-death body will be easy to deal with. We have very high-level medical technology. As long as the medical cabin is prepared, no matter how bad the situation is, it can be maintained. And once the problem of the dimensional beasts is solved, we'll have countless ways to restore you to normal, even if we have to replace your body with a stronger one."
Sophia turned her head to look at Kiliam. "Actually, you don't have a way to freely travel to and from my world, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have only descended to this world after the dimensional beasts appeared. You didn't seek reinforcements even after knowing the terrifying number of dimensional beasts —"
"That's right." Xiao Ran interrupted Sophia's words with a smile. It was somewhat deliberate, but it didn't feel that deliberate.
"It's because we detected that the dimensional barrier of this world has become weak that we came to this world. However, the current situation is that the dimensional barrier has become even more fragile. A more terrifying dimensional quake might appear at any time, causing dimensional chaos, so dimensional crossing has become even more unpredictable. There is no longer an environment for dimensional crossing. After all, we are not dimensional beasts. The dimensional crossing technology they have mastered is more advanced than ours. So, we can only wait until we eliminate the dimensional beasts, master their technology, and wait until the dimensional barrier has recovered to a certain extent before we dare to do a dimensional crossing. This is because we don't have a way to find the right path in a completely chaotic dimension. Once we get lost, death will be the only thing waiting for us."
(I've been a little busy these few days. My child's primary school is about to start, and it's a little far away, so I'm preparing to move. It's really hard to find a house near the school. When I finally found one, there were a lot of problems. There were a lot of things to deal with.
