Tomorrow's Ark Full of Heroic Spirits

"However, we have to solve the power supply problem in Chaldea first, both of you, cheer up and do some great things."

"Ah, by the way... making money is also very important...but, enough is enough." Helena also thought of all aspects. During this hour, Helena and Emiya had a lot of conversations. It needs to be done, but money is also needed.

The operation of Chaldea burns money all the time. Although this money has always been padded by Wei and Longmen, it represents the favor that Chaldea owes to them. This favor is even in the form of a long-term. Palace wants to see.

Although the headquarters of Chaldea is indeed in Longmen, Chaldea is not affiliated with Longmen.What Wei Gong wanted was to get Chaldea out of Longmen's control as soon as possible, and before that, pay off all the resources that Old Wei had helped.

The power supply system is the first step. Emiya wants to let Chaldea's power supply system be under his control, instead of shutting off his power if Longmen wants to. Chaldea can't have its lifeblood in the hands of other forces.

Chaldea does need money, but for this money, a gentleman loves money in a proper way. If the power supply system is to be popularized, the price must be close to that of ordinary people.

As for this aspect, Edison and Tesla are two geniuses who need to continue to improve, to improve efficiency and ability while reducing costs as much as possible. In this regard, Emiya can only choose to trust the two.

However, seeing how confident Tesla and Edison were, Emiya felt that there was no need to worry about this.

But at this moment, the communication from junior girl Matthew came to Wei Gong, Wei Gong clicked on the communication bracelet on his wrist, and soon, the projection of Matthew appeared in front of Wei Gong.

"Senior, there seems to be other news about the heroic spirits we put in various places."

"Oh? Where is it from?"

"—from a place on this continent called Sargon, the news has been reported."

And Matthew quickly placed the news report in front of Wei Gong, and with the help of the projection, Wei Gong saw the clearly written words on the report.

This piece is a newspaper from Colombia, which reads "The official logging team was violently attacked by an unknown robot in the Sargon no-man's land, and the Sargon king chief responded to this: not any member of the tribe".

Sargon, and Emiya only remembers that a heroic spirit was placed there——"Steam King" Charles Babbage.

That unknown machine is probably Babbage, right?Weigong sent him to that area in the first place so that one day he could find the anaconda there - this tribal chief with extraordinary talent in machinery was one of the objects that Weigong wanted to win over.

I don't know how Babbage's situation is. If conditions permit, Emiya wants to get in touch with Babbage and ask him to help.

On the Colombian side, there is one of the forces that Emiya is more interested in than the anaconda, and he wants to fight for it.

"Matthew, is there a way to contact Babbage of Sargon?"

"It's difficult. There is no signal from any communication system over there, and Mr. Babbage doesn't seem to have any device for communication."

And Mash said to Wei Gong with a bit of distress: "I didn't think of this when I released a large number of heroic spirits... It would have been nice if I had been by Senior's side at that time."

"This is a bit troublesome..." Emiya also had a bit of a headache. At that time, he just sent as many talents as possible to Chaldea after the birth of many heroic spirits, and did not take this into consideration.But now Sargon doesn't even have a signal at all, and it is very difficult to get in touch.

But at this moment, Wei Gong and Matthew's communication channel suddenly joined a call, and after a while, only the projection of Da Vinci's father appeared in front of Wei Gong.

"Hey, this is Da Vinci, I came out when I sensed that Master and Mash-chan were in trouble~"

"Da Vinci dear?!"

"Yes, it was Da Vinci who forced a lot of work as soon as he was summoned by the Master, and came to help the Master~"

At this moment, although Da Vinci still had the mysterious smile of Mona Lisa on his face, the complaint in that tone had already penetrated the sky.And Wei Gong also had some headaches, and said to Da Vinci while sweating:

"I'm really sorry, there's a shortage of people in Chaldea... I don't really understand too many jobs..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't mean to blame Master, otherwise I wouldn't come out now." Da Vinci recovered quickly after hearing Wei Gong's apology:

"Da Vinci kisses me. There is a device for one-way communication. As long as the location of the heroic spirit is determined, the projection of Chaldea can be placed in that direction."

"And I have resolved Babbage's position, Master, do you want to talk to him now?"

"--Of course."

And Wei Gong nodded without hesitation when he heard the words, and when he thought of the power he wanted to fight for in Columbia, even Wei Gong couldn't help being a little excited.

That family is the real collective SR and SSR!

Chapter 181: Anaconda: I have never seen this kind of robot in my life

At this moment, in the tropical rainforest of Sargon, there are many prosperous ethnic groups living here. However, whether it is in the eyes of the kings and chiefs of Sargon or the intelligence of other countries, this tropical rainforest is even for For the Sargon people who have lived in the cruel wasteland since childhood, it is quite difficult to adapt to the place.

Therefore, this tropical rainforest is undoubtedly classified as "no man's land".Few people know that in this tropical rainforest, there are actually many species that depend on these swamps and tropical temperatures for survival.

And among these groups, there is a tribe, which is obviously different from other powerful traditions that still follow the strength and physique... Under the leadership of their tribal chiefs, they began to gradually realize the importance of technology. Without the aid of any teaching materials and professional knowledge, I began to explore the technology related to technology...

"Everyone, go and move back and dismantle those logging machines! These things are of great use to us!"

"Oh!" XN

A group of men and women with crocodile-like tails, under the command of a...uh... a blue bird that looks like a parrot, worked hard to move those logging machines and various equipment back to the tribe. .

And another group of people, holding various tools, began to further disassemble these devices, and many people circled around, trying to find a breakthrough in these devices.

On the other side, I only saw a woman with a tail that was not a crocodile but a python-like tail. She kept watching this scene. After a long time, she asked a huge iron bump beside her:

"Teacher, are these logging machines really useful? Our people don't seem to be able to dismantle these logging machines."

"—There is no device that cannot be disassembled, because it needs to be assembled from the moment it is created. It can be assembled and disassembled. It's just that you haven't found a way."

"Zumama, you are very smart, but it's a pity that you missed the best learning period, but I believe that acquired learning can make up for your lack of education from childhood."

As for that huge group of iron bumps, at this moment the eyeball in the center that resembled an eye was emitting a scarlet light, and when the mechanical male voice sounded slowly, the huge iron bumps also moved slightly, expelling a large area. of hot steam.

These steams are simply unavoidable for ordinary people, and are enough to cause high-intensity burns.However, in front of the girl named Zumama, these steams were nothing at all—her powerful physique was also one of the reasons why Babbage was surprised.

And this iron lump, or the giant wearing steam armor, is the heroic spirit thrown here by Emiya, Charles Babbage.The purpose of his trip, as Wei Gong said at the beginning, is to win over a girl from the anaconda.

However, Emiya seemed to have forgotten one thing before explaining it. The name "Anaconda" is the code name of the girl after she joined Rhodes Island.And in the tribe here, there is no girl named Anaconda.

So much so that Babbage was at a loss for a while, and he had no way to contact the situation on the Chaldean side, so he kept wandering in this tribe—until he met Zumama.

Zumama has the characteristics of an animal named "Anaconda", and that strong tail immediately attracted Babbage, and Babbage is such a smart person, he soon realized that Anaconda is probably just a code name , and the real name is another person.

However, thinking that the person Emiya valued so much must not be an ordinary person, so Babbage temporarily stayed in Zumama's tribe, wanting to see if there was anything special about this girl.

Facts have proved that my Master is right. The girl named Zumama has extraordinary qualities, such as her strong body, amazing strength, and her passion for exploration and knowledge. Babbage couldn't help exclaiming. , I saw a rare genius.

Especially when Babbage saw the "Big Ugly" planned and designed by Zumama, that crude machine was full of loopholes in Babbage's view, just like a child's patchwork toy—but this toy, is It is another matter if it was created by a little girl who has not undergone systematic learning and even knows nothing about professional knowledge.

And Babbage also decisively chose to stay in Zumama's tribe. He wanted to teach this girl carefully. He had a hunch that Zumama's intelligence and talent might inherit his knowledge.Just like Babbage's former student, Ida Byron.

(Babbage is known as the father of computers and the pioneer of programming computers. And his disciple Ada is considered to be the world's first programmer. Both have profound influence on the development of electronic computers.)

While it didn't go very well, Zumama's knowledge of the know-how was devastating.But Babbage was not only a strict teacher, but also a patient teacher. For him, it was not uncommon for him to teach a student from scratch.

And Zumama and her people respected Babbage even more. Zumama even vowed to create such a huge robot the moment she saw Babbage.

——Later, Zumama was reprimanded by Babbage for calling Babbage a "robot".

"Teacher, you said before that to build steel, logging is a last resort, but why do you seem to hate logging?"

And Zumama also asked Babbage this question at this moment. These logging teams are all official forces of Victoria. Although Zumama and the others are not afraid of any empire, Zumama smashed these logging machines in a rage against Babbage. Some do not understand.

"—My students, development and survival are a kind of balance. The endless development of industry is not a good thing for us."

After Babbage's red light flickered slightly, he also said to Zumama earnestly:

"It took me a long time to understand this truth. Although my dream is to achieve [the arrival of the steam civilization world], but now that I am alive, a lot of knowledge about this era has emerged in my mind."

"I gradually realized that my dream may not be a good thing. We need development, but we must find the best balance between development and ecology."

"This land is already riddled with holes, we don't need to add more scars to this land."

And speaking of this, a burst of hot steam spewed out of Babbage's body again, just like the sigh of the person in the steam armor, Babbage slowly turned his head to look at Zumama and said:

"So I need the help of some people. My current path is also very lost. My student, I believe you can be my reliable partner on the next path."

"—As long as it is what you say, teacher, I will do it!"

And Zumama also respects Babbage very much. After a short time together, Zumama has been curious about Babbage from the beginning and wanted to study, and gradually became interested in this giant wearing steam armor. respect.

Zumama saw a lot in Babbage that she didn't have, but the two of them were strictly the same people - they both had a boundless enthusiasm for exploring new knowledge, and now Babbage can teach Zumama.And Zumama also hopes that one day she can help Babbage.

And at this moment, all of a sudden, a small spherical device was seen falling from the sky, hitting Babbage's huge armor, and falling in front of the two of them after making a crisp sound. .

"what is this?"

"This is……"

However, when Zumama and Babbage were both a little confused, they saw a sudden shaking of the device, and the next moment, under a projection, the figure of Emiya appeared in front of Babbage.

"—Babbage, long time no see, I haven't contacted you during the time in Sargon."

"Master?!"

And Babbage was also surprised by Emiya's communication. Under a burst of steam, the red light in Babbage's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said: "Master, I have completed the task. If it is Because of this—"

"No, Babbage, I need your help."

But Emiya shook his head when he heard the words. Babbage's full 250 cm high armor made Emiya unable to see Zumama's figure, but Emiya didn't really care about this matter at the moment, he had more Where Babbage is needed.

"I want you to help me go to Columbia and recruit some people, some people I value very much."

"It's an organization called 'Rhine Life'. Among them, there is a division in charge of the 'Balrog Project'. I hope you can help me recruit the key personnel and bring them to Chaldea."

This chapter has not been approved

"Rhine life?"

When Babbage uttered the name, although he was a little confused, he still obeyed Emiya's order-because of Zumama's lesson from the past, Babbage now has all orders of Emiya, especially for what There is no doubt about the order of people's recruitment.

"Understood, but Master, I don't have any information about the lives of Columbia and Rhine. In my current state, rushing there will cause conflicts. I need more information."

"—In terms of intelligence, this device can help you."

And Emiya also nodded, and then said to Babbage: "This device is not disposable, it can be used many times, and the information you need will be relayed to you from Chaldea. I will tell you the detailed information and relationships.”

"In addition, regarding the issue you discussed, we have also thought of it here. You may need a few helpers."

And saying this, Wei Gong in the projection also waved to the side, and said in a low voice: "Mordred, come here."

"Huh? Call me?"

And soon, in the projection in front of Babbage, Mordred's figure appeared in front of him.When Mordred saw Babbage, he quickly smiled and said, "Hey, isn't this the great professor? Long time no see!"

"—Mordred, it's been a long time."

After seeing Mordred, Babbage also had a slight mood swing, and then asked: "The last time we met seemed to be the London singularity. How have you been during this time?"

"It's not bad. I'm also in Chaldea now. Professor, you actually went so far away. I really didn't expect it."

"But we won't need a projection soon, but face to face! This time I will take Fran to Columbia, and we will meet there!"

"—Victor's daughter will come too?"

However, as soon as he heard the name "Fran", Babbage's red lights representing emotions and pupils flickered suddenly, and steam boiled all over the armor, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

And soon, in the projection, Babbage saw Mordred leading a rather petite girl wearing a dress similar to a wedding dress, her eyes covered by pink bangs. .

This one is "Fran", but this title is exclusive to Mordred. The girl's full name is Frankennes.An artificial life form created by her creator, Victor Frankennis.Under some coincidences, he became a member of the heroic spirit.

Although the "daughter" was created by Victor, Victor himself does not seem to admit this.He dreaded the "cruel" failure he had created.But it turns out that Victor's subjective consciousness seems too strong, and Fran is not as scary as he imagined.

In the projection, Fran also saw Babbage, and after a long time, he spoke intermittently:

"Woo...together..."

"Fran said she was willing to go to Colombia with us." Mordred seemed to have some innate ability. Although Fran could speak, he often kept silent because he found it difficult to speak.However, Mordred could understand Fran's meaning and even translate it.

This is why Emiya chose Mordred to go with her. Fran needs someone to guide her. Although she seems to have a lot of rationality and emotions, she is still a "Bersarker" after all.It is not wise to let Fran act alone in Colombia.

Emiya therefore chose Mordred to travel to Colombia with Babbage.Although Babbage's steam armor can be removed, he will completely lose the ability to protect himself. At this time, Babbage of course needs a knight to protect him.

"Master, what's your plan?" And Babbage was completely relieved. With Fran and Mordred, it would be no problem even if they abruptly entered Rhine's life, but Babbage knew that they It is to recruit, not to rob people, so this is just a necessary means of guarantee.

Of course Wei Gong and the others have other plans, how to help the talents in Rhine's life out of danger.

"Chaldea has communicated with the contact person of Rhine Life a long time ago. We have gained the trust of the contact person. The contact person, code-named [White-faced Owl], is willing to take her friends to go to Chaldea together. Rhodes."

"However, Rhine Life is a place that is difficult to enter and even harder to leave. As far as I know, Rhine Life is already planning to clean up the people who know about the [Balrog Project], so we need to help them. "

Emiya had obviously already made a decision-making plan, and said to Babbage: "We must first let people enter Rhine Life to protect the safety of those researchers who want to escape."

"That's why I chose Fran, this... a very representative existence. I think her existence should attract the attention of those people in Rhine Life."

"...You mean, pretending to be a scientist who sells artificial life?"

And Emiya's few words have made Babbage understand Emiya's plan.Babbage and Fran need to pretend to be a businessman who sells artificial life, and then let Fran enter Rhine Life to get in touch with the insiders.

In this way, no matter what happens at that time, Ephran's strength will not have any problems, and Babbage and Mordred can serve as a backup and provide assistance outside.

It was a good idea indeed, and the only thing that bothered Babbage...was undoubtedly Fran.

"But, Master, does Victor's daughter know about this plan?"

"As Victor's friend, I pretend to be a businessman who sells his daughter. If it's to save people, I can do it, but—"

"Don't worry, big professor, Emiya told Fran about this opportunity first, and notified us only after getting Fran's consent."
