The Whole Country Develops a Different World

Chapter 240: city ​​of steel

At noon, the sun was high, and there was a huge city on a certain plain.

​​

This is a magnificent city entirely made of alloy. The city wall alone is nearly 100 meters high, and the cold steel reflects slightly under the sun.

​​

And above this giant steel city, there is a floating diamond-shaped mechanical device every 100 meters, and the device has blue lines. Countless diamonds floated above the steel giant city, covering the entire city like a huge lid.

​​

Seeing this city of steel, the deer-headed man finally relaxed his tense heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

​​

"Great, I finally came back alive."

​​

This steel giant city is the shelter where he lives, and coming to the vicinity of this city also means that he no longer has to be wary of whether there will be enemies around him suddenly attacking him.

​​

Afterwards, the deer-headed man wore his tattered armored nest that was falling apart, and the steel giant ran wild. On the way, a continuous convoy of foragers drove past him, the roar of the engine entered his ears, and the diesel penetrated directly into his nose.

​​

In this interstellar age, it is unusually abrupt and even a little incomprehensible for gatherers to ride on this old-time chemical fuel vehicle. There is no way to do this, and various civilizations also want to equip these collectors with more sophisticated vehicles and use sustainable energy.

​​

However, the human team's energy response is extremely sensitive, and the various equipment carried by the collectors is already the limit. If you add a high-energy original vehicle, it may be sensed by humans when it is near the human city, and then ascend to the sky.

​​

At the same time, this is also the reason why major civilizations did not use robots to collect energy. Humans are extremely sensitive to high energy, and robots need huge energy support. Even if they invent a robot that uses diesel to collect energy, but using the conversion rate of diesel to energy to support the robot's normal collection, the back and forth is already the limit, and it is impossible to fight at all.

​​

The early Erd civilization took advantage of its mechanical civilization and developed various robots that do not rely on high energy, such as diesel robots, steam machines... for energy harvesting. At the beginning, these robots collected a lot of earth energy for the Erd civilization by virtue of their number and fear of death.

​​

Other civilizations also began to follow suit, and suddenly the earth was like a steampunk world, full of various rough-looking diesel robots and steam robots. But suddenly one day, I don't know which shameless civilization, even let its collectors **** the energy collected by robots from human cities.

​​

In the face of teams carrying various advanced equipment, these low-energy robots are no match at all. After all, in order to prevent humans from sensing the robot, the robot itself is set to reduce the energy response as much as possible, and it is impossible to carry various energy weapons.

​​

The **** teams sent by some civilizations are almost one-to-one, grabbing a lot from those civilizations that use low-energy robots to collect energy. The robbed civilization immediately responded, but to no avail.

​​

For example, sending elite troops to protect the collection robots, but the collection robot team that wins by numbers is already extremely large. If there is another group of well-equipped troops, guarding them with various advanced weapons, it will definitely attract the attention of human beings. And guarding at a distance gave those looting teams a chance to snatch, and they could take the opportunity to **** a wave and run away.

​​

It is even more impossible to send a battleship to **** it. Maybe the battleship was shot down by humans not long after it took off from the shelter.

​​

This is a dead end. As long as these civilizations rely on huge low-energy robot troops for collection, then other civilizations can rely on a small group of sophisticated troops to constantly **** them.

​​

In the end, the Erd civilization, which relies on low-energy robots to collect energy, was completely ruined by these shameless guys, and had to give up this low-cost and high-yield method.

​​

And as soon as these civilizations gave up, other civilizations found that there was nothing to grab, and slowly they came up with something similar to low-energy robots. The next thing can be said to be feng shui turns, the Erd civilization, these civilizations that are good at mechanical artificial intelligence see them doing this, turn around and hack all their robots, and constantly steal energy from them.

​​

In this way, all civilizations can only honestly continue to maintain the collector system, with a small elite team mainly collecting energy.

​​

All the gatherers who passed by the deer-headed man looked at him with schadenfreude eyes. This deer-headed man's equipment is tattered, and the mecha lacking a piece in the east and the west is no different from a piece of broken copper and iron. In addition, he was alone, and there was not even a teammate by his side, not even a vehicle.

​​

It is not difficult to guess what happened with all the signs. This unfortunate person should have encountered a human being, and he should be the only one left in the entire team.

​​

The deer-headed man also noticed the comings and goings around and collected the team's gaze, but he didn't pay any attention to it and ran all the way to the steel giant city.

​​

The city wall of the steel giant city is a full 20 meters high. Countless collection teams passed the inspection with their own vehicles and drove out of the city gate, starting a collection activity that lasted about a week.

​​

At this time, a robot came to the deer-headed man, shot a green light, and scanned the deer-headed man in all directions.

​​

"The equipment damage rate has reached 80%, and there are multiple injuries on the body, which are predicted to be caused by energy weapons." A cold mechanical sound rang.

​​

The deer-headed man stood quietly and let the robot scan himself. Generally, when entering and leaving the shelter, an all-round scan is carried out to check whether there is anything abnormal, mainly to prevent the invasion of the shelter by other civilizations.

​​

Of course, this inspection was completed the moment he passed the gate, but now his situation is rather special. The rest of the team is dead, and he is the only one left alive, which is very suspicious in itself. The probability of being a spy of other civilizations is very high, and the strictest inspection must be carried out.

​​

The suspicion of spies in this situation is very high, but it is not uncommon. After all, there are too many dangers on this planet. Hundreds of foragers die every day, and some of them are always lucky and come back alive. In this regard, the Erd civilization, although knowing that these returning people are likely to be spies, chose to accept them.

​​

Because if they don't accept this miraculously alive forager, then other survivors will not return to the shelter in the future. Although the Erd civilization does not care about these surviving collectors. After all, the collectors can produce as much as they want, but the Erd civilization is afraid that these collectors will go to other shelters and sell information in exchange for a chance to survive. .

​​

Although the collectors belong to the bottom layer of the shelter, they don't know much information about the shelter, but the energy they carry and various daily stacking together can calculate the general situation of the inner and outer layers of the shelter.

​​

After more than ten seconds, the robot used the huge detector at the city gate to scan the whole body of the deer-headed man, scanning the bones inside and out.

​​

The robot said in a mechanically unique synthetic voice: "Nothing abnormal, number 02200821, please describe what happened to you, why you are the only one who returned to the shelter, and whether the rest of the team is still alive."

​​

"Because your personal terminal is completely damaged, we can't get the collection activity process from it. Please tell us the detailed process."

​​

The deer head man replied: "Yesterday around 13:20, we just finished collecting energy and were about to return to the shelter, but we were suddenly attacked by other shelter collection teams."

​​

"We fought these attackers, and then due to the excessive energy fluctuations generated by the battle, an ordinary human was attracted. The attacker was instantly smashed to pieces by the human, and our team turned around and ran, and the human also chased come up."

​​

"During this chase, my teammates were blasted to pieces by humans, and I accidentally rolled down a hillside. The humans didn't continue chasing me, so I survived."

​​

Lutou Ren briefly explained his "true experience".

​​

"The brain waves are normal, and there is no sign of submitting wrong information." Then the robot took out a black collar and handed it to the deer head.

​​

"In view of your special situation, you are suspected of being a spy, so you must wear this necklace for the next period of time. In the next seven days, you will be monitored by nano robots 24 hours a day."

​​

Without any hesitation, the Lutou Ren took it forward and put it on his neck, and asked, "Can I go to the city to rest?"

​​

"The inspection passed." The robot returned to its post.

​​

After the deer head turned in all the equipment that had been completely scrapped on his body, he dragged his tired body and walked towards the city, passing through the gate and seeing the diesel vehicles coming in and out, and the collectors who were resting near the city gate and preparing to set off. those who.

​​

Looking up and looking into the distance, the eyes are full of cold steel. All buildings are made of steel, whether it is buildings or roads. Looking at the past is full of icy steel, not even a little bit of dirt, a little bit of green.

​​

At the same time, the buildings in the city are very uniform in shape, as if carved out of a mold, without the slightest difference. The whole city is like pasted and copied, steel buildings, roads, steel buildings, roads.

​​

The whole city appears to be very orderly, and this order has reached an extreme, even pathological. Everything is strictly planned by artificial intelligence, and every action of everything in this city, except the gatherers with life, has clear rules, and their every minute and every second will be strictly according to the program.

​​

The deer-headed man turned and walked towards the avenue on the right side of the city gate. The further he went, the less icy atmosphere of this city of steel became. Half an hour later, the deer-headed people saw their residence, the gathering place of foragers.

​​

All the buildings here, including the roads, are made of steel, but the steel here is different from the steel outside. It did not emit a metallic luster, but instead had a large area of ​​sound.

​​

The small living pods are stacked densely together, like a beehive, and various upright lifeforms walk among these messy living pods.

​​

Such a cluttered and cramped, rust-smelling place of residence makes the deer-headed people feel inexplicably at ease, at least it's not as cold as it is outside.

​​

The deer-headed man went all the way back to his living cabin, put his hand on the door lock, his fingerprints clicked, and the heavy door slowly opened.

​​

The room inside is very rudimentary, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family with four walls. A seven-meter-long steel plate bed, a huge sofa and a steel table with a huge stainless steel cup and stainless steel rice bowl. Nothing but these, and this is where most foragers live.

​​

It's not that the collectors don't want to improve their lives, but all kinds of materials are too expensive. The points they get from risking their lives every day to pay for the living expenses are already a bit difficult, and it is impossible to buy them again. Those expensive furniture and replacement living environment.

​​

Every day, collectors can only spend their few remaining points in bars and virtual reality to enjoy themselves. After all, if you don't enjoy it now, you might die next time you set out on a mission.

​​

The living environment is harsh and materials are extremely scarce. Every day, they need to risk their lives to go to human cities to collect energy.

​​

Because of the existence of human beings, various civilizations can only rely on space transitions to safely transport materials into shelters on earth. It's not a big deal for these second-level civilizations to die several times and hundreds of space transitions, but if they die a few thousand times, even they can't bear it.

​​

Especially now that they are far away in the solar system, very far away from their five stars, it is difficult to obtain sufficient supplies of various energy sources and devices. Coupled with a lot of energy to be used to prevent humans, it is even more impossible to transport a large amount of materials into the shelter for the collectors.

​​

Lutou Ren picked up the rice bowl on the table and walked out of the living cabin. He went to the food vending machine downstairs, put his hand on the fingerprint verification, and then put the rice bowl under the delivery port.

​​

Since it is now ten o'clock in the morning, the meal period has already passed, and a new round of collection operations has begun, so no one queues up before the physical sale.

​​

beep!

​​

The pale yellow thick fluid flowed out from the injection port and fell into the huge stainless steel rice bowl. These thick fluids are nutrient solutions with extremely high nutritional content. The only downside is that they taste unpalatable and have a weird, disgusting smell.

​​

Lutou Ren glanced at his points and sighed involuntarily, saying, "These points are not enough to even go to a bar once. We must sell that thing as soon as possible, hoping to sell it for a good price."

​​

Next, the deer-headed man, after eating the food, lay on the bed and closed his tired eyes, and fell asleep, under the monitoring of the nano-robot, everything was so normal.

​​

As for what the deer-headed man said? Robots have long been tested, but some old-time human books. The major civilizations of human books have long been collected, and it is nothing to them, but for the collectors, these books are invaluable, and the things contained in them may save his life at a critical moment.

​​

For example, the collectors have learned some words that can effectively arouse human beings from some human books or other items. As long as they say it, they can usually attract human attention, such as the most typical lying trough, 666, grass.

​​

Generally, collectors will make some robots to play these sounds. Once they encounter humans, they will throw these robots out, and then turn around and run. These robots that continuously emit words that attract human attention have a certain chance of attracting human attention, thereby increasing their chances of escaping~www.readwn.com~ The next day, in a bar in the gathering area.

​​

As soon as the deer-headed man walked into the door, the strong smell of alcohol hit his face, and a large number of foragers were drinking cheap alcohol here. Some poor people even drink "ordinary wine" mixed with industrial alcohol and clean water.

​​

The whole bar feels extremely messy, the wine tables are arranged irregularly, and the collectors are crazy about drinking, imitating the drinking table culture of human society. At the same time, there are also some drunk foragers who slept on their heads, most of the places where they slept were on the ground, and many slept directly on the aisles.

​​

The cluttered scene here is the same as the residential area of ​​the collectors outside. One prominent feature is the chaos.

​​

How is the chaos of the collection and the surrounding, the steel forest that is like pasting and copying, forming an extremely sharp contrast, the two sides are obviously close to each other, but they are like two worlds.

​​

Walking all the way to the depths of the bar, the deer head man saw a gate with two werewolves standing in front of the gate.

​​

The deer head man came to the two werewolves and said, "I want to exchange some things I got from the human city for points."

​​

A werewolf glanced at the deer-headed man with sharp eyes and asked, "What is it?"

​​

"Book." The deer head replied.

​​

Hearing that, the two werewolves were not blocking them, they turned around and opened the door.
