Walk alone in the abyss

Yang Ming silently turned off the old emperor's first-person video.

Don't look too much at this thing.

He is single now, it would be too expensive to find a call girl.

"What the hell," Yang Ming muttered, "Does the old emperor's omnic still have that function?"

"It didn't exist at first," Lil pouted slightly, "but he wrote a program for himself and reactivated some of his parts. He should be transformed with an advanced companion robot."

"In other words, this omnic raped his supervisor, and in front of another supervisor."

The human being and his companion mechanical thought body fell into contemplation at the same time.

After half a minute.

Yang Ming clicked his tongue: "It's really exciting."

Law: "It's really exciting."

"This also reminds us how much trouble it will be if the omnic we make goes out of control," Yang Ming said indifferently, "every omnic we make in the future will be equipped with a one-click device to explode the positronic brain."

"Understood," Li agreed very seriously.

Yang Ming frowned and asked, "How is Princess Dai Na now?"

"The victim's mood was a little unstable. She felt that she had been insulted. Although she had become the real concubine of the old emperor through her dedication, she couldn't accept this reality..."

Lv paused, and couldn't help admiring in a low voice: "Wow, machinery and carnal desire, this is really exciting."

Yang Ming scolded with a smile: "Take away your hobbies."

Yang Ming thought about it carefully.

The more fun the old emperor made, the better it was for him.

"Lü, have you bought the simulated robot we're going to use?"

"It will arrive at the designated location in sixteen galaxy hours, and it will be transported into Feinan within twenty galaxy hours."

"The progress is not bad," Yang Ming said slowly, "For the sake of caution, we must completely empty the positronic brain of this robot, and then transplant the thinking body we cultivated inward to prevent the thinking body from being polluted."

"I understand, boss, just rest assured."

Law laughed and said:

"This is actually an experiment, allowing us to observe clearly what kind of changes will occur after the virtual thinking body grown in the thinking petri dish is exposed to the information of this world.

"What is certain is that even if there are adverse effects, it will not affect the implementation of our plan in the short term.

"I will continue to keep silent, boss, although the hardware has been upgraded before, the current mastermind is still not enough.

"If the boss has time, an interview can be conducted in the last two days."

"Interview?" Yang Ming was a little puzzled.

"It's just to choose a suitable mechanical thinking body," Lu said softly, "You'd better participate in the whole process, those little thinking body brats, it's time to get to know their real leader."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows.

Sounds like fun.

...

In the next few days, the various plans formulated by Yang Ming and Lu were advancing rapidly and steadily.

The virtual robot they selected was successfully sent to Feinan.

Law emptied the positronic brain of this robot, reducing its circuit logic level to the level of a newborn human baby, leaving only the 'instinct logic' to maintain the normal operation of this humanoid machine.

The target general they want to replace has also been determined——

The Deputy Defense Minister of the Luofeng Empire, another confidant of the former Defense Minister Yiloui, and a staunch supporter of the current Defense Minister, Leon.

Gutung Mahathir's assassination of the Defense Minister was almost in tandem with their replacement of the Deputy Defense Minister.

This was also done on purpose by Lu, to wipe out the political remnants of former Minister of Defense Yiloui in Luofeng Empire in one fell swoop.

The day after the old emperor insulted Princess Dana, Edwan set off for the Sherman Empire.

In just over an hour, Edwan's transport ship, accompanied by three frigates, successfully jumped to the territory of the Sherman Empire.

Before Edwan left, he told Yang Ming a small matter in encrypted communication.

The old emperor asked Edwang to purchase a batch of mechanical guards, at least 3,000 units, the more advanced the better, to enrich the defense forces inside and outside the palace.

Edwan naturally complied.

But he didn't quite understand why the Luofeng Empire had to buy expensive mechanical guards since the Luofeng Empire had plenty of soldiers and the royal guards were brave and good at fighting.

Yang Ming could only suggest that Edwang should follow the old emperor's order properly.

Soon, [Luofeng Empire's 100 Billion Arms Procurement Plan] became a hot search in the Sherman Empire.

In the description of the Sherman Empire media, Edwan became a rich prince of the rich empire.

There is one thing to say, Edwan's family is indeed a galaxy rich.

Compared to Edwan who successfully entered the Sherman Empire, what Yang Ming cared most about was actually the safety of his old buddy Kolev.

Kolev is now flourishing in the New Industry Federation, and it is Yang Ming's big hand extending into the economic field of Luofeng.

Under Law's suggestion, Kolev "urgently" organized a businessman's gathering, and set the venue for the ninth administrative planet, which is relatively far away from Ilanduo.

It was an agricultural planet with beautiful scenery and a small population, which never attracted the attention of the new Federation.

This will not only make the old Kolev safer, but also preserve the foundation of the New Industry Federation.

Kolev fully approves of such an arrangement.

He's already getting old, and now he just wants to dance, chat, and make money with those elegant and intellectual old ladies, and he has no interest in these fights.

When Kolev's spaceship landed safely on the ninth administrative planet, Yang Ming dispelled the last worry, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.

According to the information collected by law——

The first batch of special agents of the new federation has arrived at the fifth administrative planet and started the preparatory work.

Each of the agents of the New Federation has become cautious and strictly abides by the discipline of agents.

Among them, no one knows what the mission of the others is. The information obtained by each agent has been fragmented. Everyone only needs to appear at a fixed time and place to perform their own missions—maybe in Passing a pack of tissues in the cabin of the starship may also be replacing the fuel cell of the hover vehicle at the ground charging station.

But when the actions of these people are connected together, a huge intelligence network begins to operate efficiently.

The new federation not only mobilized two integrated expedition fleets, but also precious special forces;

Compared with the previous batches, the professionalism of this new batch of agents has also improved significantly.

The feeling for Yang Ming is...

This is a bit like the CIA of the second most powerful country.

...

Princess Dana lay on her side on the bed.

The maid looked at her worriedly. From Princess Dana's almost dead eyes, the maid saw a kind of anger that could not be expressed in words.

This anger seemed to consume everything.

"us……"

"He insulted me," murmured Princess Dana.

The maid bit her lip tightly: "Shall we report this to our superiors?"

"He insulted me," said Princess Dana, clutching the sheet tightly, "he insulted me!"

The maid said tremblingly: "I'm sorry, I, I was..."

Princess Dana closed her eyes, tremblingly said:

"Call them over and prepare to restart the key. I must make him pay the price."

"I'm going to do it."

The maid bowed her head and hurried away.

Princess Dana's body trembled unceasingly, unable to regain her composure for a long time.

...

"Boss, according to current intelligence, the new federation will use the first, fourth, and fifth administrative stars as a springboard to directly attack Ilando. There are already more than 600 new agents. Through these three The flight from the executive star to the first star entered the city of Ilando and began to collect information about the palace.

"According to some of the intelligence we intercepted..."

In the captain's lounge of the star cruiser.

Yang Ming was paralyzed on the expensive single sofa in his nightgown, listening to Li to report the latest situation.

Yang Ming's body function determines that he must eat regularly and quantitatively, and must also ensure at least four hours of sleep every day.

Of course, Yang Ming still had a ritual that he had to perform every few days - injecting himself with a gene stabilizing fluid.

After Lv finished his report, a satellite map of Ilando appeared in front of Yang Ming, marking the main areas where the new federal agents were active.

Yang Ming muttered, "Their goal is the imperial palace?"

"It looks like this at the moment," Lu quickly said, "Their target may be someone in the palace, or the characteristics of the imperial power of the Luofeng Empire."

"Isn't there a defense system in the palace?"

"Yes, boss," Lu Huan said, "The mountain below the palace not only hides the military base, but the anti-ship system is wrapped inside the military base."

Yang Ming suddenly became interested: "Is this the life-saving system of Luofeng's previous emperors?"

"It can be said," Lu murmured, "this doesn't seem to be a good thing. The old emperor is a little crazy now, and he has the authority to directly open this system, which may cause a great disaster."

Yang Ming smiled, and calmly changed the subject: "How's the thinking body doing?"

Li showed a somewhat smug smile: "The interview can start right away."

Yang Ming stretched his waist and walked to the oxygen generator, took a few mouthfuls of formula oxygen, and instantly refreshed his mind.

"Then let's get started, what are you waiting for? I can't wait now, and I want to meet the mechanical thinking bodies you cultivated."

"You will never be disappointed, boss."

"Uh," Yang Ming reminded, "I still reserve the right to delete them at any time."

"Of course," Li pouted, "You are the boss, I am just your little secretary."

Yang Ming sneered, opened the cupboard and took out the perception helmet that Lu had prepared in advance, and went to the desk to put it on for himself.

He hasn't checked in at the bridge for two days.

Fortunately, this star cruiser has been performing daily patrols recently, and the officers have no objection to this.

Put on the helmet and turn on perception.

Yang Ming once again felt that this thing is highly similar to the game helmet of "Abyss", and then thought about what secrets the "Abyss" game hides.

Law's figure appeared in front of him, guiding Yang Ming to travel through the vast universe and arrive at a gloomy star.

This is the dark star of closed fictional networks.

A small spaceship with delta wings appeared in front of them, standing firmly in front of the two of them.

Yang Ming controlled the avatar, and accompanied by Lu, boarded the spaceship cabin.

Yang Ming laughed and said, "It's still so mysterious."

"Boss, each world has its own rules," Law reminded softly, "For the boss, this fictional world is constructed from data, but for the mechanical thinking body living here, this place is real. It is a secondary ecology that relies on the external material world.”

Yang Ming said: "You can put it simply - a sense of ritual."

"It can also be understood in this way," said the law with a smile, "In the world of the mechanical thinking body, the sense of ritual is extremely important."

The delta wing spacecraft slowly descended towards the dark star, and after entering the atmosphere, it landed in the river valley that Yang Ming was very familiar with.

The surface of the dark star in the fictional world is almost the same as the planet in reality. The only difference is that a medium-sized city has already appeared underground in the fictional world.

In order to make it easier for Yang Ming to distinguish, Lu named this place the City of Illness and Darkness.

They entered the 'transfer base' from a stone wall on the surface, and took a straight elevator from the base down vertically.

A few minutes later, even though he knew that everything in front of him was virtual data checked and calculated by the main brain, Yang Ming was still slightly shocked by the underground city in front of him.

The area here is comparable to a city in Ilando City.

There is a simulated sky above, and the ground is one after another of high-rise buildings, and all kinds of people can be seen everywhere.

The only difference from the real human city is that the 'people' here are somewhat special. ——They only have a rough human shape, but there are mechanical imprints on every part of the body.

This style of mixing and matching flesh and machinery is indeed Ritsu's preference.

"No wonder you keep shouting that the main brain is not enough," Yang Ming glared at Lu, "How much computing power did you spend here?"

"Hee hee, no."

With her hands behind her back, she has become much more lively since she came here:

"I just have the highest management authority here. My main brain is useless here. This corresponds to it. It is the 'thinking training room' in our base."

"Okay," Yang Ming nodded, and continued to watch the city embedded in the stratum, "Who do you want me to interview?"

"Boss, the residents you see in front of your eyes are primary thought bodies randomly generated in the training room of our base."

The law briefly explains:

"Elementary thinking will treat this place as the real world. They survive in this social order, increase knowledge for themselves, form more logical circuits, and gradually explore the truth of this world.

"When they understand the truth of this world and bear the fact that they are mechanical thinking bodies, they will be put into the next level of fictional space by the cultivation room system, where they can learn about the simple situation in our base."

Yang Ming asked: "What if you can't accept it?"

"Clear part of the memory and logical circuits, and continue to live in this city," Law said calmly, "Each thinking body has a birth, aging, sickness and death system, and the flow of time here is more than a thousand times faster than in the physical world. This can save a lot of money." computing power."

"You are so ruthless," Yang Ming said with a slightly disgusted expression.

Lu raised his head slightly: "I am the goddess here."

Yang Ming casually grabbed the back of the Goddess's neck:

"Save time and start the interview quickly! We need to find some reliable mechanical thinking body and use it to replace a general. The environment we have to face will be extremely complicated."

"Got it, boss."

Law muttered:

"Here, you have to save me some face. In order not to let them go astray, I have adopted a mechanical religion management model. My majesty is very important."

mechanical?

religion?

Yang Ming wanted to complain but had nowhere to start.

Lu led Yang Ming out of the elevator and climbed to the top of the tree-like building in the center of the city.

The four mechanical thinking bodies were standing quietly in front of them. After seeing Yang Ming and Lu, they bowed and saluted at the same time.

Obviously, they have been waiting for a long time.
