Infinity Throne

Moving at night may be a human talent, and anyone can learn it without a teacher.

The "mine" is as large as a superpower. It is tightly guarded and can be called an iron wall. However, there are no omnics. You will notice a bead rolling along the gap.

The so-called mine,

It's a neat grid.

In each grid, a life-support capsule is stably placed.

In each life-support cabin, there is a human being lying quietly.

After the life-support cabin, the power supply, excretion pipes, and nutrition channels are all connected.

Yi Lin was in front of the life-support cabin, checking the functions of the life-support cabin and having a panoramic view of it.

In the life-support cabin, there are all men, women, old and young. After a week of simply checking at the edge, combined with the files transmitted to him by Alice's sister, Yi Lin quickly understood the operation mode of the "mine".

There are two kinds of "human beings" in the world.

Superior people: managers.

The Inferior: Biobatteries.

"Biobattery" is an "inferior human being" created in a petri dish through cloning technology and gene-directed editing technology. The only meaning of their existence and their lives is to serve as "biological batteries" in the "mine".

When they were born in the "battery factory", they were "completely packaged" in containers and transported here through the assembly line.

In the life-support cabin, they grow up, and are fed with corresponding memories and knowledge. They will be equipped with neural interfaces and connected to the virtual world that runs through the vast universe of 24 regions - "Phantom Light". We are born as "people", live, work, get married, have children, and even die.

As a "human", one's life is arranged and finalized in this way.

They will spend their entire lives in the survival cabin, and the scenery they can see is the "virtual world" they can see when they open their eyes.

They don't know the reality of the world, let alone the cruelty of fate, and they don't know the true meaning of their existence.

For them, the virtual world "Phantom Light" is the only real world in which they can survive.

Densely packed "bio-batteries" filled the entire mine. Yi Lin was silent and simply counted the number of bio-batteries.

Calculated based on the average floor area of ​​each "biological battery" of about 4 square meters, excluding the space between the survival cabin and the survival cabin, and then removing the passages that accommodate the passage of "maintenance type" and "combat type" intelligent machines, and Three-layer structure: upper, middle and lower.

In the Morningstar Mine alone, if every cabin was occupied by people, it would have a population of nearly 10 billion.

hiss……

Ten billion people.

What if we add "biological batteries" from other mines or even other areas?

Yi Lin tried to understand such a huge number.

The "manager" is different from the "biological battery".

The manager is what Yilin saw on the disk, the human slave responsible for serving Alice's sister.

They are humble, they live in contentment, they eat moldy bread and drink synthetic nutrient solution that tastes like motor oil, but they are still alive. Compared with "inferior people", this kind of life cannot be said to be better or worse, but at the very least, they know the "reality" of the world. They are rooted in different positions and do things that omnics cannot do by themselves, or do not bother to do. thing.

Or, the genetic source of the cloned "biobattery" comes from the genes of this group of native-born "managers".

…

When Yi Lin first arrived on this planet, he noticed something strange.

If Nemesis really has achieved "complete control" of its universe, why are all omnics equipped with a certain degree of weapons?

Assuming that there are no hostile forces in this universe, what use does the omnic community have weapons?

Existence is reasonable. Since "weapons" exist, it means that they are useful as weapons.

Is it to allow omnics to better rule the only remaining "superior humans" in the small universe?

This answer is still open to debate.

Yi Lin believes that this cannot be completely explained.

Under the shadows.

The blood beads rolled silently, turning into a thumb-high mini figure.

His face looked exactly like Yi Lin's, holding his chin and looking solemn, pacing back and forth.

Yi Lin was evaluating the risks of sneaking into the virtual world by using the link equipment of the survival module, and what he couldn't understand about the configuration of the Nemesis universe.

He had witnessed the remains of a "biological battery". In the life-support cabin, the inferior people were thin, weak, and looked malnourished. Obviously, no matter how nourished they were in the virtual world of "Phantom Light", in the real world, Nemesis could barely maintain their lives. Perhaps the cabin was filled with the worst nutrient solution.

But this consumption, day and night, is also an unimaginably huge number.

Then here comes the problem.

Why does Nemesis raise so many humans?

Just raise them and create a virtual world for them to survive in?

Why is this?

In Yi Lin's opinion, this matter was undoubtedly unnecessary.

Yi Lin would not comment on how despicable and despicable Nemesis's behavior was. Yi Lin has long understood that the struggle between different races is always so cruel and unreasonable. In the eyes of God, and beneath Him, we are all ants, letting life and death perish without any disturbance in our hearts.

As for Nemesis, he happened to be blocking Yi Lin's path, and the two became enemies. It was such a simple hostile relationship. You die and I live, it's just a matter of life and death.

"Perhaps, the illusion of light virtual world is the breakthrough point for conquering "Nemesis". "

Green is currently keeping his body, and Nemesis may be busy searching for traces of the Nightmare Knight's family members in the lower levels of the Origin Sea. Even though Nemesis may have no time to take care of the inside of his small universe, Yilin has arrived at this moment. The opponent's territory, to put it nicely, is to go deep behind enemy lines, to put it at worst, to fall into a trap. The life and death of the Nightmare Knight and his friends depend on Yi Lin's thoughts.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

The "blood villain" circled several times between the life-support chambers.

On the way, we passed several omni-machine patrols whose models looked like new products.

They patrolled the route and followed the principle of "no blind spots." Yi Lin observed it for about an hour, but failed to find a safe blind spot, so she had to give up.

Yi Lin originally wanted to "turn enemies into friends" with them. I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminated the ditch. In short, Yi Lin didn't find a chance to "infect" them safely.

This is the difference between humans and omnics. Humans make mistakes, but machines don’t.

Unless Yi Lin insists.

Returning to his residence openly and bloodily, Yi Lin pretended that he had just been "fully charged" and pulled it out of the connector with a grin, and then waited in place, pretending to be a "good little brother" .

These days, although Yi Lin is on the bright side, she has not made much progress. However, after gaining a deeper understanding of the structure of the "Alice Type", Yi Lin felt that she had a deeper understanding of the authority of the "Omnic Machine", so she took advantage of being "peeped" to enter the hub and continued to perfect and fuse some of the "Omnic Machines". The throne of omnic authority.

"Infinite" means no end, no destination, this will be a long process. Of course, Yi Lin is not in a hurry, as long as he can bring down Nemesis within the rules. With the protection of Green's wings, he has gradually full time.

…

Smog and light pollution in the sky confuse night and day.

Ten hours later.

Kachi… Kachi… Kachi.

Yi Lin walked off the shelf, and the footsteps of Alice's shock-absorbing module full of high-end taste could be heard outside the door.

"There are currently two breakthroughs."

"One, superior human being."

"Two, virtual world...phantom light."

Tsk.

The door opened.

Sister Alice walked into the room carrying a covered basin of "food".

No.

There are three breakthroughs.

Yi Lin silently corrected his thoughts three seconds ago in his mind.

The third breakthrough is "Alice-101".

"Morning, sister."

Yi Lin simulated a mechanical pronunciation and said hello to her sister.

"Come on, brother... let's do daily maintenance together."

I don’t know if I have stayed here for a long time.

Yi Lin thought Alice's bare armor plates were very pretty.

The sister walked up to her brother.

Open the shiny alloy semicircle cover, and inside are clean water, a small high-pressure spray gun, a white towel, and of course engine oil and lubricating fluid.

"Click."

When Yi Lin saw the lubricant, she took a big step back cautiously.

Something is wrong with you.

"Wait. How about I do it myself?"

Yi Lin asked tentatively.

"Brother, you don't need to see anyone outside. They say that taking care of each other in a private space is the best way to cultivate intimacy."

Alice spoke meticulously and in a steady tone, but she didn't seem to notice that her two eyes lit up with a peach color.

"..."

If Alice really wants to take care of her, then her secret will be exposed.

After all, Yi Lin is not a real omnic. Under his armor, there is a "blood incarnation".

"Huh? Dear sister, your faceplate seems to be stained with dirt. Let me wipe it for you."

Yi Lin suddenly pointed at Alice's red face.

"Yeah?"

Alice's faceplate turned red and steam came out. It seems that in this way, the heating element under the visor is activated, simulating the "shy" behavior of humans.

Yi Lin touched it.

Face.

The tiny tentacles flexibly penetrated into Alice's sister's gap where the two touched.

A small pulse was released, and Alice crashed again.

Yilin had no choice but to once again fine-tune the definition of "intimacy" in Alice's concept.

He checked for a while, and sure enough, Alice didn't know what data she had downloaded, and she gave Yi Lin a weird definition of "kindness".

For example, "My titanium alloy fingers covered with battle scars gently opened your cover and stroked your lining. With the help of lubricant, our joints connected you to me, I connected to you, and you Tighten my screws, and I'll apply your oil. We are like human beings, feeling each other's pain and structure in this advanced way"... and so on.

Never expected that.

In the omnic community, there are actually masters who write pain literature.

It hurts so much.

Sister Alice, what information are you browsing!

Yi Lin felt that since she had started, she had the obligation to bring things right for her sister... No, to put things right.

After simple modification.

Yi Lin fine-tuned the concept of "mutual" to "unilateral".

In other words, Alice's acceptance of Yi Lin's care is a sign of "friendship", and Yi Lin's initiative to take care of Alice is also a sign of "friendliness".

Although this doesn't make sense emotionally and logically, it seems to work normally, so that's fine. It doesn't matter if it goes smoothly or not, as long as it works.

In this way, Yilin no longer has to take the risk of Alice and Nemesis noticing something strange and openly dismantle Alice's armor plates.

If you often walk by the stream, how can you not get wet?

Alice stood with her back to Yi Lin, her hands spread flat.

Yi Lin took apart the surface armor for Sister Alice, soaked the towel with water, and wiped away the non-existent dirt.

When it was almost done, Alice noticed something was wrong: "Brother, why are you so skilled?"

“I specifically downloaded the maintenance manual for the Alice model from the terminal, and tried to dismantle the mass-produced model Alice in the simulation module. "

Sister Alice exclaimed: "Brother, you are working really hard. But..." She changed her words, and a faint sound of electricity sounded, reminding: "In the future, you are not allowed to dismantle other "Alice types". "

"Why?"

"No reason, I don't like it."

Although Sister Alice didn't know why, she still tried hard to express her preference.

Yi Lin twisted the towel with one hand and started counting with her fingers with the other hand: "Can the "Quentina type", "Marin type" and "Angelina type" be removed? "

He carefully tested his sister's bottom line, tugging and tugging.

Woo woo woo...

Smoke spewed from Alice's vent.

She fell silent.

Don't know how to answer.

After a while, she calculated the answer, shook her head and said: "No. You are "Alice-101"'s good brother, and you can only express your 'kindness' to your sister. "

Yi Lin thought for a while.

I wanted to continue to tamper with and add fuel to the fire.

But this kind of behavior is like the butterfly effect. It may become more outrageous as it changes, and finally get out of hand. Simply put, Alice will be spoiled.

As for what Sister Alice said, he went to dismantle other types of omnics. If Sister Alice didn't know, wouldn't that be a problem?

Thinking of this, Yi Lin gave up her plan to continue to revise the "term explanation" of the word "intimacy".

Clean, lubricate, rinse, drain, steam, wipe, and oil.

After a set of maintenance procedures, Yi Linzai went through them carefully, inside and out, step by step.

Sister Alice is very satisfied with the service attitude.

The armor shines brightly, and the appearance soars.

The reason why Yi Lin took so long was not because of poor craftsmanship or insufficient proficiency, but because during this process, Yi Lin kept getting information about Sister Alice.

These sets of information were interspersed with some daily conversations, which made Sister Alice very satisfied. Except for questions that obviously violated the red line, she answered everything she knew.

Only then did Yi Lin learn that Alice-101, as the person in charge of the Morning Star Mine, in addition to maintaining the operation of the mine outside, also had a special interface to enter the virtual world "Phantom Light". This is also part of the work of "Alice-101".

However, Yi Lin did not dare to ask about the specific details of the content. He felt that this should be a "high-voltage line" or a "keyword search." Once asked, it would most likely make Alice-101 more vigilant.

"Sister, you... Didi, besides the 'model and code', don't we have a 'name'?"

"Name?" At this moment, Yilin has assembled Alice's armor plate. She is moving her limbs and feeling the difference before and after maintenance. After hearing this, Alice-101 asked: "Only humans have names, and we , only noble 'models'."

In her opinion, human names are more like the names of lower creatures. Higher creatures can distinguish each other with a series of signals, and there is no need to use such low-level work as "naming".

"Yeah."

Yi Lin thought about it and didn't force it.

After Alice completed the "daily maintenance" in Yi Lin's room, she twisted her waist and left with standard steps with satisfaction. Before she left, she did not forget to warn: "Don't enter the mine."

"Okay, I'm obedient."

"good."

The elder sister touched her younger brother's iron head to show her approval.

When my sister left, she said that she had to work next and it would take 12 hours and 36 minutes.

Such accurate time reporting probably means Yi Lin's "private time".

Yi Lin wrote it down.

Another advantage of omnics is that they don't bother to lie.

In other words, there is no behavioral logic of "lie" in the dictionary of the omnic community.

One is one, two is two.

In fact, if Yi Lin hadn't entered the universe as an "enemy" now, he might have become good friends with this lovely race.

Pity.

Looking at Alice's leaving figure, Yi Lin remained motionless.

An hour later, Yi Lin followed the same method, separated a small blood droplet, turned into "Little Yi Lin", and sneaked into the Morning Star Mine again.

This time, Yi Lin plans to sneak into the world of "phantom light" and witness with her own eyes the "virtual world" created by Nemesis, the god of omnics.
