Chapter 007: Earth Destruction Weapon
From below came continuous exclamations of surprise, as many embraced each other, trembling as they gazed at this once-prosperous metropolis, now engulfed by darkness in an instant
Master ... ... "The girl stood there in a daze, mumbling softly.
E system, initiate
Having spoken, Ling turned around and prepared to leave. The young girl, seeing Ling walk towards the door, naturally stood up and followed behind him
At this moment, Ling even experienced a kind of illusion. Suddenly, he began to feel that this girl possessed a sacred aura. ... If one were to describe it ... . ... Indeed, it was as if she were an angel descending from the heavens. A goddess untouched by the mundane world.
I understand, I understand, it was hurriedly prepared and sent over, with nothing equipped except for the weapons
Zero did not ask. It was not because he knew the answer, but because in the next moment, what happened below left him dumbfounded
Zero asked a question, hoping to receive a positive response. As a scientist, he would certainly be very interested in researching future weapons.
Scan complete. I apologize, Master. There are no original design blueprints or related materials stored within me. Due to the haste, ... ...
Very good. How wonderful? I do not have just an additional bodyguard; I have an apocalyptic weapon. Speaking of which, how high is the combat capability of those humans who wish to assassinate me? They actually require a doomsday weapon sent over by a computer I manufactured?
Upon reaching this point, Ling could not help but let out a cold laugh
While drinking milk, Zero sat at the table beside him and pressed the button on the toaster. After taking out the toasted bread and biting into it a few times, he ate his breakfast with milk while watching the girl over there
The news on television continues unabated
The noise began to emanate from below
For scientists, it is simply a vast treasure trove filled with something called "knowledge"
Zero looked down at himself, his naked body still suspended in the air above the Bund. In light of this, he could not help but begin to question whether the fact that the weapon behind him had not adjusted its emotional circuitry was a trivial matter or a matter of great significance
Regarding weaponry, there is the 9,000-unit scattering cannon that was just shown to the master. It can be equipped with a large protective shield made of neon and helium suitable for positional defense. There are also the polymer energy cannons designed for armored vehicles, as well as ultra-high temperature vaporization shells intended for aircraft carriers. For naval warfare, there are silent guided torpedoes, and for aerial combat, there are cold-tracking cruise mortars. Additionally, for space warfare, there is the Miguelte orbital cannon used to destroy space stations, among others
That night, the entire city of Shanghai was plunged into darkness. No one knew exactly why, nor did anyone understand what had actually happened
Centered around oneself and the young girl, the originally vibrant lights along both banks of the Pujiang River suddenly extinguished. All the lights and books seemed to be destroyed, rapidly going dark. This darkness spread, and within a mere minute, the entire city of Shanghai, as far as the eye could see, transformed into a dark city devoid of any light
The humanoid object curled up on the sofa, hugging its legs, appears quite adorable; however, it is indeed a terrifying and catastrophic weapon. What is even more alarming is that it lacks a significant degree of self-awareness
Do you have your design drawings
... ... No, Master
The young girl hesitated for a moment, then gently nodded. She supported Zero and began to fly back at a pace even slower than walking.
... ... I am sorry ... ... Master
Having seen enough, Ling said. The voice-activated television promptly turned off, and the brilliance that had originally reflected in the girl's pupils also extinguished, leaving only the originally vacant dark green.
I am a scientist
"Alright, show me now. Ah, don't aim at any humans. At least for now, I don't want to be enemies with humans."
Everyone must find it strange, and people will also feel fear
As a scientist, one must ensure that anything one uses has clearly defined advantages and disadvantages. It is not acceptable to behave like an ignorant child, playing around with a missile.
According to reports from relevant parties, the epicenter of the power outage was located at the Bund when it first occurred. Within one minute, most areas of Shanghai fell into a state of power outage. Reliable sources indicate that at the same time, not only the power department but also telephones, radios, mobile phones, and various household appliances ceased to function. This situation lasted for nearly one hour. Conservative estimates suggest that the direct economic losses exceeded 50 million RMB.
Indeed, it is a weapon. Moreover, it is a weapon of destruction
The girl lowered her head, her beautiful face buried between her knees
Indeed, this young girl is a treasure trove
The girl's dazed gaze gathered once more. She halted her flight and lifted her head. Subsequently, the pair of iron wings behind her slowly unfurled, with each feather striving to extend fully.
Zero: "What are you doing?"
Well, I trust you. Let's go back. However, please don't fly so fast on the way back; slow down a bit. I still have some questions I would like to ask you.
Young girl: "Master, you need protection"
The next day, the news reported without surprise on the power outage that occurred the previous night. Zero, dressed in a shirt, held a glass of milk, drinking while watching the news on television
In fact, zero also has its own concerns. Upon careful consideration, this mobile fortress possesses immense destructive power, yet it appears quite simplistic in terms of thought processes, lacking stability. If it were completely incapable of self-reflection, like a true robot, it would be acceptable; however, the issue lies in the fact that it is equipped with emotional simulation circuits, yet lacks proper programming.
Without mentioning those various destructive weapons, just the anti-gravity flight and phantom camouflage systems alone would be enough to keep one occupied for half a day of research
Zero: "E System? What is E......"
Well, very good. Will this weapon pose a threat to people
However
To be honest, even Zero felt a bit scared. He immediately ordered the girl to take him home, quickly leaving the scene of the incident. God knows what would happen next; he certainly did not want to find himself locked in a government office the next day, being questioned about what had transpired.
This morning, Zhang Li, the mayor of Shanghaishi, made a statement to clarify the rumors regarding a terrorist attack. Relevant authorities have already begun to investigate the truth of this incident, and it is believed that a satisfactory answer will be provided to the public in the near future. Additionally, under the coordination of various leaders, the city's infrastructure remains intact, and the public's emotions are generally stable
However, aside from that, there are indeed many captivating aspects about this weapon
Zero pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, "I do not need protection. You are not allowed to go out until I have figured you out."
The girl slowly raised her head and looked at Zero. After a few seconds of daze, she finally spoke slowly.
After taking a sip of milk, Ling turned her head and continued to look at the sofa through the thin-framed glasses on her nose. There, the girl who had destroyed fifty million RMB in an instant last night was still sitting there in a daze, curled up on the sofa with her hands hugging her knees. She looked just like she did when she was sleeping yesterday.
You say you are a mobile fortress. Then, what is your equipment configuration
Last night at 9:00 PM, a large-scale power outage of unknown cause occurred throughout the city of Shanghaishi, and at the same time, all communication agencies were also paralyzed. The specific cause has not yet been determined
There is no light, no electricity, the telephone cannot connect, and there is no signal on mobile phones. At first glance, it seems as if everyone has been suddenly thrown into the depths of the mountains, left to nature to determine the fate of these human beings
It is indeed a strange matter to desire additional actions from a robot, which, by its nature, does not require sleep
Close
In a matter of moments, he gulped down the bread and chugged the milk in one go. Without even pausing to wipe the milk stains from the corners of his mouth, he walked directly up to the young girl.
Do you have any weapons among your arsenal that have relatively lower destructive power
The girl remained expressionless, and after a pause of three seconds, she slowly spoke.
Ling let out a sigh, shook his head, and said: "Forget it. I will study you properly after I return"
The girl tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said: "Yes, Master."
Thank you, Master, for being willing to trust me
In just one hour, fifty million... No, this figure is quite normal. Or rather, the assessment of this figure is indeed rather conservative
But apart from that
