Chapter 4 The Superiority of Advanced Civilizations

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Among all the equipment here, aside from the weapon systems, the most powerful function belongs to the thought helmet. This helmet can control a type of tiny magnetic particles, with a maximum control capacity of twelve tons. These twelve tons of magnetic particles can take on any desired shape according to instructions. The repulsive and attractive forces between them can reach half a ton, meaning that the instantaneous interaction force between two pill-sized magnetic particles can reach half a ton. If fully powered, these twelve tons of magnetic particles can crush a tank into a sheet of metal in an instant. These magnetic particles can be launched from the Centaur or can choose to hide in the surrounding environment, easily filling the gaps in the land, rivers, or even the crevices of buildings with these powerful particles.

When he said this, it was akin to Gu Tao claiming he had grown three eggs, and then cautiously asking Xin Chen, "Could it be that we might have five eggs combined?" To which Xin Chen, with a look of astonishment, retorted, "You grew four?" capturing that same sense of surprise.

As for why he immediately eliminated the spirit without a second thought, it is quite simple. The Explorer's Guide clearly states that the safety of the explorers is the top priority, much like the three laws of robotics, which are of absolute precedence. They cannot interfere with the processes of the explored area, but they are not foolish enough to sit idly by when attacked. Otherwise, what is the purpose of bringing Titans? Theoretically, if this planet discovers them and intends to seize their equipment and technology or harm their safety, they can directly classify this civilization as an aggressive one and prioritize its elimination.

How should one describe it? Let me put it this way: although his bag is filled with individual combat devices that cannot compare to the legion-level equipment from his home planet, they are undoubtedly astonishing pieces of gear on Earth. For instance, his weapon system consists of a super-compressed combat exoskeleton. Have you seen Iron Man? The exoskeleton inside that palm-sized diamond-shaped box is far superior to Iron Man's. Not only does it provide a tremendous boost in strength, but its protective capabilities can directly counteract the frontal impact of standard legion shock rifles. It also integrates a photonic blade, mid-range individual firearms, and a jet propulsion system. His reconnaissance system includes mineral excavation gloves, a telepathic construction helmet, deep-scan goggles, and a Hercules collar. The gloves can easily crush hard diamonds, while the construction helmet can control magnetic particles to build necessary structures based on blueprints and one's own thoughts. The goggles are designed to scan the composition of all materials up to three thousand meters underground and twelve thousand meters underwater. As for the Hercules collar, it is an experimental device that allows an ordinary person to create a passage from the surface into rock layers below one kilometer in a short period.

So... can you tell me, can you see ghosts

Xin Chen was momentarily taken aback, looking up with a face full of astonishment at Gu Tao: "Can't you see it?"

However, Xiao Lülü is lost

"Isn't it haunted?" Gu Tao took out a pair of glasses from his bag and put them on: "It's a pity, my father really isn't afraid of ghosts"

Around 8:30, Gu Tao heard murmurs coming from the warehouse next door. In modern society, there are indeed fewer and fewer young people who adhere to the routine of rising with the sun and resting at sunset.

After lying down for a while, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. Upon careful reflection, he realized that the alarm device had not been activated. With no other choice, he had to endure the cold and crawl out of his warm sleeping bag, wearing only his thermal pants. He took out a large number of strange items from his backpack and placed them in various corners of the room. After conducting a series of adjustments using his watch, he shivered back into the sleeping bag and took out his notebook to diligently record the daily work report.

It is unknown when it started to rain outside; this is likely the last rain before winter. As the saying goes, "a rain in autumn brings a chill," and after this rain, winter will probably make its proper entrance.

Gu Tao took off his glasses and buried himself back into the sleeping bag, completely unconcerned about the haunting incident that had just occurred. However, the drowsiness he had just experienced was gone, and in helplessness, he had no choice but to pick up the notebook again and write down: "The thirty-fifth entity of the Soul Dissipation of Zhonghe, belonging to the human soul, threat level 0"

This is the superiority of advanced civilizations, that kind of superiority which says, "I have no malice towards you, but you better not harbor any malice towards me; if you cooperate well with me, I will lend you a hand; if you do not cooperate well with me, I will eliminate you"

Do not underestimate this shabby backpack; it is no exaggeration to say that if someone has the ability to analyze the contents of this backpack, human technology could leap forward by more than 1,000 years. This worn-out bag serves as his mobile fortress, containing weapon systems, reconnaissance systems, and defense systems all within.

As for why there are ghosts, after all, even aliens exist, so what is surprising about the existence of ghosts

Although it is an industrial item, it is undoubtedly a terrifying weapon on Earth. This does not even take into account the Titan mechs mentioned by that despicable artificial intelligence, which are the defensive countermeasure devices of the Explorer Base. Once they launch an attack, the existing technology on Earth cannot stop them, not even nuclear bombs. After being blown away, one can simply dust themselves off and continue.

Gu Tao curled himself entirely inside the sleeping bag. Although he claimed he wanted to sleep, it was indeed a bit too early, so early that even forcing himself to sleep was futile.

"We can't go back, so why bother taking notes?" Gu Tao quietly asked himself while stroking his chin, but after a while, he provided himself with an answer: "What if we do go back, right?"

On the first night after finding a job, since both individuals had run out of money, they casually ate some dog food and watched television for a while before returning to their respective rooms. As for whether the long night would seem boring to them, it actually did not, because poverty limited their actions; after all, lying still would not make them feel as hungry.

In the early morning, Gu Tao was awakened by a knock on the door from Xin Chen. He groggily opened the door and saw Xin Chen, who was equally dazed, standing at the entrance. The two of them then rubbed their eyes simultaneously, standing at the door and gazing at each other.

Apart from him, probably no one on Earth recognizes the text above. Even if others see it, they would merely consider it the random scribbles of an autistic child. However, he has been doing this work for six years and will continue to do so in the future

In fact, he does not care about the environment in which he sleeps. His training was originally to survive in the harshest conditions. Although he is currently sleeping in a warehouse, it is at least a place that offers shelter from the wind and rain. After cleaning, it is also relatively tidy, which is already much more stable than living in a cave, under a tree, or beneath a bridge. Over the past six years, he has spent considerable time in such places.

After finishing, he tossed the notebook aside, rested his hands behind his head, and gazed out the window, eventually drifting off to sleep for some unknown reason

I must tell you, my pet is lost. Xin Chen pouted, on the verge of tears, saying: "My little Green is lost, I am about to cry."

After speaking, he took out a small iron box from his tattered backpack. After pressing a mechanism, the small iron box suddenly split in his hand. Once it broke into smaller pieces, those iron fragments began to wriggle and transformed into tiny metal spiders, each no larger than the tip of a chopstick. These little spiders scurried away in all directions, and only then did he lie down to continue sleeping

After a casually spoken sentence, the watch suddenly released a burst of electric arcs, followed by a faint crackling sound in the air, and then the shadow completely vanished from the glasses, leaving no trace behind

Sleep, sleep

As he was lost in thought, drowsiness gradually began to wash over him. However, just as it was enveloping him, his watch suddenly started to vibrate intensely. He sat up abruptly, but saw nothing.

The cold wind howls outside, raindrops patter against the glass, producing a crackling sound, accompanied by the creaking sway of the old house. It should be an ideal setting for sleep, yet I find myself unable to feel drowsy

Gu Tao was taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood why the person he saw yesterday, whose lifestyle was so outrageous, appeared so listless. This fool... actually used his own mental energy to nourish a spirit; his mind must truly be broken.

After putting on the glasses, the scenery before Gu Tao instantly transformed into a different appearance, with all objects revealed in a radiative format. It resembled thermal imaging to some extent, but was far more advanced, as thermal imaging struggles to distinguish specific objects, whereas radiative imaging is quite different.

Please tell me first, what is Xiao Lulü

As for the defense system, apart from the intelligent probes he has installed in the house, there are those rather repulsive sentry robots, specifically the small spiders he just activated. These small spiders automatically attack any intruder when they sense a threat, including cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, and rats. Gu Tao has always used them as pest control devices. As for attacking humans... In an unprepared situation, these terrifyingly penetrating small robots can kill any intruder within six seconds.

You said, "What can your level of energy do besides scaring people?" He sighed and extended his hand, which was wearing a watch, from under the covers: "Neutralized it."

What is seen may be illusory, and what is heard is often even less reliable; however, the highly sensitive probe does not lie. This tremor indicates that energy radiation has appeared within a safe range, and since no physical entity has been observed, it can only be an energy body. The only energy bodies that can suddenly appear on Earth and persist over time, aside from the continuously powered arc sequences, are ghosts.

In the room, Gu Tao saw a shadow swaying back and forth, which at first glance resembled a ghostly figure. He extended his finger to point at the object, and then his glasses immediately reacted, canceling the radiation imaging of other objects, leaving only that indistinct shadow.

He took out the sleeping bag from the backpack, shook it open, and laid it on the ground in one smooth motion. Then, after placing the other items from the backpack around him to create a semblance of a private space, Gu Tao buried his entire body into the sleeping bag

It is a ghost... I found it pitiful, so I took it in here. Before you came, it was the one keeping me company.

"Can you speak properly? Do you think you are PDD?" Gu Tao looked at the man who was acting spoiled and said: "Isn't it disgusting?"
