From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

The mental enhancement module in the mechanical transformation has no effect on the Sykes, because the Sykes who have undergone complete transformation do not have the attribute of spirit.

In other words, under normal circumstances, the Sykes civilization will not study mental enhancement technology.

A technology without value will not be developed.

Even if it is a passing technology, it will only remain in the laboratory stage.

Unless there are other reasons to promote the research of this technology.

It takes a relatively long time for a technology to go from project establishment to product production.

In other words, if the Sykes civilization has a mental enhancement module a year later, it should have been researched now, and there may even be laboratory products.

However, this technology has not been made public, so Ye Lianna Sykes did not know that this technology existed.

And Hasegawa Satoshi had a mental enhancement module installed on his body. After his death, the fragments of the mental enhancement module were taken away.

In other words, a certain organization or force is secretly researching this technology and does not want to be known.

So, a new question arises.

Is the "thing" that takes away the fragments of the mental enhancement module the same as the "thing" that eats the corpse?

Lu Heng said in a positive tone: "Ms. Sykes, maybe you need to face up to the technology of the mental power enhancement module, because I found this module in Hasegawa Satoshi, but you don't know it."

Yelianna Sykes's eyes condensed, and she looked puzzled, and said: "Are you sure?"

Lu Heng nodded: "I am very sure, and at least one-third of the module fragments scattered on the ground are missing. In other words, someone took away the fragments of the mental power enhancement module."

Yelianna Sykes raised her eyebrows and reread the inspection report.

She found that the report did mention a small number of fragments of unknown modules.

However, these mechanical transformation modules were broken, and some unrecognizable fragments of parts appeared, which were generally not investigated.

Now hearing Lu Heng's doubts, combined with the content of the inspection report, Yelianna Sykes found that there was indeed a fragment of an unknown module that was taken away.

Other fragments were not taken away, but this module was taken away, which itself explained the problem.

Because the authority level is too low, it is difficult for Lu Heng to obtain valuable information from the network information of the Sykes civilization, so he can only ask Ye Lianna Sykes.

"There must be an organization or laboratory that is researching the mental power enhancement module. I think the thing that took away the module fragments and the thing that ate the corpse may be the same. Even if they are not the same, tracing this clue can also obtain more information. So, Ms. Sykes, I think you should check more information and provide clues." Lu Heng made a suggestion.

When the computer measures whether to do something, there are only two results: "yes" and "no".

There is no need to do too much lobbying. As long as the request is reasonable and helpful, Ye Lianna Sykes will not refuse.

After calculation, she made a decision, then quickly checked the information, and gave a clue after analysis:

"In the past year, there has been a wanted scientist who is studying mechanical life and believes that robots can also have life characteristics. Maybe there will be clues if we continue to investigate.

"The name of this scientist is Xavier Matrix. Because the research project violates the third edition of the Sykes Science and Technology Joint Act, he is wanted. I think this Xavier Matrix is ​​very suspicious. "

"Xavier Matrix?"

When Lu Heng heard this name, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Because this name is very famous in later generations, it is a very famous mad scientist in the Sykes civilization and a pioneer in the study of mechanical life.

The reason why he violated the Sykes Technology Joint Act is that his ideas conflict with the laws of the Sykes civilization.

The Sykes civilization does not prohibit the study of mechanical life.

In fact, this is an important scientific research direction of mechanical civilization.

However, the laws of the Sykes civilization stipulate that only Sykes citizens can become mechanical life, and ordinary mechanical life is not allowed.

In other words, in the Sykes civilization, robots manufactured in factories cannot have life.

Only individuals who are originally Sykes citizens can be allowed to obtain life.

The purpose of this set of laws is to guarantee the "human rights" of Sykes citizens.

It is a very strange law, but it is very reasonable.

The mechanically modified Sykes Do the Sykes still have "human rights"?

This question seems to be related to morality, so do the Sykes people who have been transformed into robots still have morality?

The answer is yes.

"Morality" is a very illusory thing, and "human rights" are more concrete, but they are also invisible and intangible.

However, if a civilization does not have these two things, then whether the civilization itself still exists is a question.

Therefore, the Sykes civilization does have a set of laws that stipulate that scientific research organizations cannot give life to assembly line robots.

However, the technology of mechanical life itself is only in the research stage.

In fact, similar problems also exist in human society.

For example, if humans have developed clones, should the "citizen" status of clones be recognized?

This is a very sensitive topic.

If the "citizen" status of clones is recognized, then they enjoy "human rights" and are protected by law.

Humanity has not really encountered this problem yet, but with the advancement of technology, it will sooner or later.

Back to mechanical life, this Xavier Matrix was later called the pioneer of mechanical life.

Xavier Matrix did not have a good reputation in the Sykes civilization, because this person used all means to study technology, and could even be said to be notorious.

In addition.

Xavier Matrix will be famous for another thing in the future, that is, the combat mechanical angels he made are very powerful, so powerful that the military can't do anything about him.

Otherwise, with his notorious reputation, even if he was not killed, he would definitely be put under guard.

Of course, the current Xavier Matrix's scientific research results should not be so powerful.

When Lu Heng heard the name of Xavier Matrix, he guessed in his heart that this crazy scientist was studying mechanical demons?

This possibility is very high. After all, with Xavier Matrix's reputation, it is not surprising to do such a thing.

If Xavier Matrix is ​​really studying mechanical demons, the mental power enhancement module is also developed by him.

Then things seem to be connected in series.

There was a demon that had undergone mechanical transformation, but it had not completed the full mechanical transformation, so it ate the four corpses and took away the module fragments.

...

In the next two days.

Lu Heng and the other two began to investigate the crazy scientist Xavier Matrix and look for possible mechanical demons.

At noon on the third day.

The three met another human team.

This team had five people and also obtained a visa from the Sykes civilization, so they should have joined the faction.

When the two teams met, neither side took the initiative.

Then, the other team asked for a conversation.

So the two sides met on the bank of the artificial river.

The team opposite was obviously not from Daxia, because there were two white people, two black people, and one person who could not tell whether he was black or white.

They called themselves the American team.

What's more interesting is that there were two men and two women in their team, and one person who was neither male nor female.

It has to be said that this American team is very politically correct.

The white captain greeted in Sykes Universal: "Hello, my name is Alex Austin, are you from Fusang or Daxia?"

Lu Heng glanced at the other five and replied: "Daxia."

Alex Austin straightened his chest and said: "We have passed each other several times in the past two days. So I want to ask you, are you tracking Xavier Matrix?"

As he said, Su Muyu did discover this American team two or three times in the past two days. The most recent time was only close to 500 meters, and then the two sides left in different directions.

Since the two sides did not collide head-on and there was no conflict of interest, although they discovered each other, they did not meet.

However, the number of encounters indicates that the goals of both parties may be the same.

After hearing his question, Lu Heng thought about it and replied, "We are indeed looking for Xavier Matrix."

Alex Austin looked back at his teammates and then continued, "Xavier Matrix is ​​our mission target. I think we can cooperate. When we find Xavier Matrix, we can notify each other. I can guarantee that I will not hurt you."

Lu Heng actually wanted to say: You have to have the ability to do it even if you want to.

However, so far, there has been no conflict with the other party, so there is no need to make enemies at this time.

So Lu Heng agreed casually: "Okay."

Alex Austin continued, "Have you joined the escape party? That coward faction."

Lu Heng frowned and did not respond to his words. He could probably guess that the other party should have joined the Advent faction.

Although the third challenge task said that joining one of the three factions, in fact, the support rate of the Persistent Faction in the Sykes civilization exceeded 70%. This is the most powerful faction and basically does not recruit alien creatures to join the faction.

Since the other party did not join the Escape Faction, it can only be the Advent Faction.

Lu Heng observed these five people and guessed what their mission was.

The philosophy of the Adventists is to welcome the coming of the abyss. This is a faction composed of a group of lunatics, many of whom have antisocial personalities.

And Alex Austin's team is also looking for Xavier Matrix. Is this a task assigned to them by the Adventists? What is the purpose?

Is the Adventists also investigating the case that happened in the gaseous street?

It doesn't seem likely.

After the two sides finished talking, they left separately.

Before leaving, the gender-indistinguishable superpower named Harris from the American team stuffed a piece of paper into Lin Zeyu's hand and said, "Call me when you get back."

Lin Zeyu's face showed an expression that was more uncomfortable than eating a fly. He threw away the paper, spat, and turned back to find comfort:

"What does he mean? Is he thinking I'm too handsome?"

Lu Heng's expression was serious, and he said, "Do you have any misunderstandings about handsomeness?"

Lin Zeyu raised his eyebrows and laughed, "You see, he stuffed the note into me, but not into you. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

Lu Heng rolled his eyes, "Is it possible that you look more in line with the perverted aesthetic."

"Pfft, pfft..."

Lin Zeyu still felt a little disgusted, and clenched his fist and said, "Don't let me see him next time, or I will definitely shoot his head."

An idea suddenly flashed in Lu Heng's mind, and he said, "Go and ask him out for a meeting."

"What?" Lin Zeyu's face showed an even more shocked expression.

"I asked you to ask him out, don't you understand?" Lu Heng repeated the order.

"I don't understand, I'm sick, I'm going to ask him out!" Lin Zeyu was not feeling well.

"Whether he is sick or not, go to the hospital for a check-up next time, and ask him out first, alone." Lu Heng said.

"I don't want it!" Lin Zeyu refused decisively.

Su Muyu smiled with her mouth covered, "Lu Heng means that you want him to come out, we have something to ask."

Lin Zeyu now understood what he meant, but still said with a depressed face: "Do I have to sell my body?"

"How can I sell something I don't have? Hurry up." Lu Heng urged.

Two hours later.

Lin Zeyu passed the note through the Scout Eagle and asked the superpower named Harris from the American team out.

Harris saw the note and immediately came to the address on the note, alone.

As soon as he saw Lin Zeyu, his face showed an ecstatic expression: "I knew you would ask me out."

"I'm not going to ask you out!" Lin Zeyu cursed, pulled out his revolver, and shot him.

Harris's face showed anger, and he was ready to fight back.

Suddenly a sword was placed on his neck, and Lu Heng appeared without anyone noticing.

Harris's expression was stern, and he quickly raised his hands and asked: "What do you want to do? If you dare to touch me, my teammates will kill you all."

Lu Heng kicked his knees and forced him to kneel down, then asked: "What is your purpose in looking for Xavier Matrix? Tell me!"

"Do you think I will tell you?" Harris still wanted to be tough.

Lu Heng curled his lips, took out the Dementor Seal Card, held it in front of him, and said, "Want to try it? Let it eat your soul. I can ask anything I want to know."

Harris was startled. He was not as tough as he thought. He waved his hands quickly: "No, no... I said, the Advent Sect asked us to capture Xavier Matrix and take him back."

"What for?" Lu Heng continued to ask.

"I don't know. The mission of the Advent Sect is to capture Xavier Matrix and take him back. They also said that they should also take back Xavier Matrix's research materials." Harris hurriedly explained.

Lu Heng thought quickly.

Their mission is not to kill Xavier Matrix, but to capture and take him back, and also to take back the research materials. This shows that the Advent Sect wants to obtain Xavier Matrix's research results.

After asking, Lu Heng let Harris go.

Lin Zeyu was considering whether to shoot the thing and asked, "Are you really going to let him go? Will he tell us what we interrogated him about?"

"He won't tell us. If he doesn't tell us, his team won't know that he leaked the mission. If he tells us, their white captain won't let him off so easily. Let's go. We'd better find Xavier Matrix first." Lu Heng waved his hand and walked into the neon lights of the city.
