v2/Chapter 34: The 21st century is the century of ()
"That's it."
Vill-V installed the last module to the designated location, and the door frame-like mechanical device in front of her began to operate. The empty door frame was gradually filled with golden particles emanating from all around, and finally turned into a golden and black vortex like the back of a Yu-Gi-Oh card.
Of course, this thing was finally placed in the empty laboratory and not actually stuffed into Mobius's closet.
"Come to think of it, wasn't the installation date agreed upon yesterday?" After putting away the tools in her hands, Vill-V looked at Mobius and Ai Yue with a puzzled look, "I was ready to come to your house, but Rose suddenly told me that you had a new research project to work on, and changed it to today. What project is so urgent?"
"Well, as a mechanical engineer, you won't understand anything about genetics even if I tell you," Mobius said calmly, but her left hand subconsciously grabbed her right arm. "So, it can be used like this?"
"Of course, I've tried it many times, and its stability and safety are impeccable!" Vill-V gave a thumbs up, not paying attention to what Mobius had just said. "But no matter how much you say, it's better to experience it yourself. How about we go over there first? Hua is still waiting there."
Ai Yue gave full authority to Hua to inspect the new base. After all, Hua's serious and rigid personality made her the perfect person to handle this matter.
"Come to think of it, I've only seen photos and haven't been to the scene yet." Ai Yue also remembered something, "I wonder how those little guys are doing."
"Little guy?" Mobius noticed something in his words, "You keep little animals over there?"
"That's not a small animal, it's a very powerful invention." Vill-V rushed to answer for Ai Yue, "If you want to know, why don't you come together?"
"Come on." Mobius nodded without hesitation, "You go first."
"Really? Even if you don't believe in my ability, you should have confidence in Ai Yue's invention, right?" Vill-V shrugged, but didn't say much. "Forget it, I'll go first, let's go!"
As she spoke, Vill-V took a big step and disappeared into the black and gold vortex.
Mobius was about to catch up, but she found that Ai Yue was frowning all the time, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Ai Yue glanced at her and asked, "Did you perform the Fusion Warrior surgery on Vill-V?"
"How did you find out?" Mobius was stunned for a moment, "You can see this too?"
After Vill-V became a fusion warrior, her performance was almost the same as that of an ordinary person. Even Mobius found it difficult to detect anything wrong from her observations. And today was the first time Ai Yue met Vill-V after her surgery, and he actually discovered it right away?
Ai Yue just smiled and said nothing.
Of course he knew, because Vill-V's personality today was different from before, it was like she was a completely different person.
Cutting the spirit and recreating the personality are the abilities that the opponent masters after becoming a fusion warrior.
The two did not dwell on this topic any further, and soon followed Vill-V through the portal.
Unlike the previous use of pseudo-Herrscher powers, the experience of using a portal is not to walk through the door and arrive at another portal. Instead, it is like walking into a huge bubble and being wrapped in it. You need to take another step towards the vortex in front of you to truly reach the location of the portal on the other side.
When the vortex that obscured his vision dissipated, the scene in front of him became clear—a huge and empty room came into Ai Yue's eyes.
"Welcome, welcome to the 'Star of Light' experimental base!" Vill-V, who arrived before them, took off her hat and saluted the two people, saying in an exaggerated tone, "How do you feel? In this place that will replace Mu Continent as the world's technological center in the future, do you feel a special atmosphere?"
"Why are you talking like a master?" Mobius frowned, "This is not your Spiral Workshop."
"Although this is not the Spiral Workshop, the Spiral Workshop has a branch here." Vill-V raised her hand to release a projection of a flat map, pointing to a room in the corner and said, "Look, Ai Yue has agreed to let me use this room!"
"Is there such a thing?" Mobius immediately turned her gaze to Ai Yue, "What about mine? I want one too!"
"You can choose for yourself." Ai Yue waved his hand, not really caring about this matter. "Where's Hua?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door on the side was opened from the outside.
"Sorry, I was just in the training room." Hua walked in wearing a loose training suit and a towel around her neck. "Is there anything I can do?"
"I want to check on the 'bee colony'." Ai Yue said, "Where is the main control room?"
"You don't manage your own experimental base at all?" Ai Yue's words caused Vill-V to complain, "Isn't it too strange that you don't even care about such things?"
"Please follow me." Hua was not surprised by this, or rather, she just chose to follow orders. "The main control room of the bee colony is underground."
"A bee colony?" Mobius also came over at this time. "Is that the little fellow you were talking about? You didn't make some kind of artificial synthetic beast or something like that, did you?"
"What do you think I am? A perverted alchemist?" Ai Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. "What's so good about synthetic beasts? Can they be as stable as machines?"
"That's right." Vill-V on the side also chimed in, "Biology has no future. This century will be dominated by mechanical engineering!"
Mobius snorted coldly and decided not to bother with this idiot.
The group was quickly led by Hua to the central control room on the underground floor, where the central computer used to manage the entire experimental base, as well as the artificial intelligence "Queen Bee" specially created by Ai Yue, was housed.
When she entered this huge room, the first thing that caught Mobius's attention was not the supercomputer in the center, but those drones flying back and forth in the room.
In the central control room, various small machines can be seen everywhere. Some of them are equipped with flying devices and fly in the air, while others are equipped with tracks and tires and move on the ground. Although there is no one in the room, it gives people a feeling of liveliness and excitement.
"Is this the bee swarm you mentioned?" Mobius then connected everything in front of her with what Ai Yue had said before, "How many are there in total?"
A drone system that can be called a swarm cannot be limited to what we see here.
"10,653." Ai Yue pushed his glasses and then said, "Oh, now it's 10,654."
