The First Evolution

Chapter 344: Living Mechanical Heart

Nimbus said,

“If you can enter the polluted area and successfully revive the consciousness of the Great Pumesh, then the Great Pu Mesh will give you the reward you want.”

Fang Linyan took a deep breath. It was obvious that this ai was playing tricks. The implication was that if the Great Pumesh couldn’t wake up, then he would take the risks in vain.

He pondered for a while, carefully reviewing the situation of this damn place, and he still chose to go.

Because Fang Linyan vaguely felt that if he could understand the cause and effect of all this, then it would actually be worth the money.

Sometimes, the information revealed in just a few words was actually the most precious thing!

Therefore, Fang Linyan said decisively,

“Okay, I’ll go.”

Having said that, he looked back at Goat and bumped his fist with fist, then he said to Nimbus,

“Take out the laser cutting gun you mentioned.”

Soon, 4 mechanical spiders the size of a millstone crawled in carrying a rectangular black-bottomed silver pattern box.

The box was as tall as a person. There was a V-shaped pattern on it. The box must be old, so the surface looked a little mottled, and the pattern was too blurry.

Fang Linyan opened the box and saw that there was a helmet and a weapon that looked like a heavy gun. Its design looked like a light machine gun at first glance, but there was a bright silver bottle behind it, so it was somewhat similar to a flamethrower.

He put on the helmet first, then immediately a series of prompts began to appear in front of him:

“Biological waves are detected…”

“The dual fusion welding gun is activated…”

“Beginning user authentication…”

“The security system module is damaged, skip the authentication step…”

“User, I have not found your login information. Is it your first time using a dual fusion welding gun?” (Yes/No?)

Fang Linyan decisively tapped yes, and prompts popped up immediately,

“Starting the tutorial now…”

Five 5 inutes later, Fang Linyan successfully learned to use this welding tool, which seemed to have a technological content at least 2 generations beyond that of the current Earth.

It must be noted here that 2 generations mean 2 generations in a broad sense. For example, the next generation of tools in the Stone Age is the Bronze Age, and the technological level beyond the 2 generations of tools in the Stone Age must be the Iron Age!

That meant, comparing the technological content of the welding tools that Fang Linyan was accustomed to with this dual fusion welding gun, it was like the differences between stone ax and Damascus Scimitar; the ancient catapult of the Ming Dynasty and the mortar…

After confirming that his operation was correct, Fang Linyan went to Nimbus to ask for some other things, such as the previous tool called “Bemexis Spray”, maintenance tools similar to engine oil, sander, etc..

Then he came to the front of the dull silver wall and turned on the switch of the dual fusion welding gun.

Immediately, a pale white flame sprayed out from the left nozzle of the dual fusion welding gun, which was half a foot long!

Then he swiped it lightly on the silver metal wall. A long fissure was opened on the wall, then it split open to 2 sides by itself. The fissure inside was almost 2 meters deep.

The cutting process was so smooth like cutting through butter with a hot knife.

This was the cutting mode of the dual fusion welding gun, which seemed to have a very special additional effect on metals. Fang Linyan was also surprised. He did not expect the cutting effect to be so good.

So Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the cut fissure while turning the on the welding gun.

After walking forward for about 60 meters, Fang Linyan looked back and found that there was a thin layer of light gray mist in it. Even the situation behind him could not be seen clearly, which cast fear into one’s mind for no reason.

At this time, Fang Linyan didn’t act recklessly when cutting. He aimed at the place with a darker color, so he soon discovered a polluted area that was also stabbed with a black thorn.

However, this black thorn was obviously an advanced version at first glance. It was only about half a meter long and the thickness of an orange, but there were circles of spiral textures on its surface. It had exceptional penetration, and the polluted area around it was also bigger.

After Fang Linyan removed the black thorn, he also faced some troubles. Before, he could throw it into the Russian space station, but wouldn’t he spread the pollution if he threw it anywhere here?

Fortunately, Nimbus seemed to have thought of this problem, so it soon sent another mechanical spider over. This time, it seemed to be an enhanced version. It had only 4 legs and a huge body, and it was carrying a large box on its back.

This shape did not look like a spider but more like a crab covered in armor.

Fang Linyan saw the big box on its back, and it was obviously a file cabinet that was brought from the space station. …

After Fang Linyan wandered around the area a few times, he took out a total of 3 spiral black thorns.

Then, while cutting and moving forward, a naturally formed passage was discovered. There were a number of parallel translucent fibers about the thickness of a wrist. They were pounding pulsing rhythmically.

Fang Linyan thought of it like nerves and blood vessels, so he didn’t dare to move around and walked along this passage.contemporary romance

After walking about tens of meters, he saw another channel converging from the side. 2 translucent fibers merged into one thick fiber nodule that was beating like a heart.

After walking to the end of the passage, Fang Linyan took a deep breath. This was an octagonal space, or to be precise, it should be a cavity. There were 18 transparent fibers gathered here. They all connected to a silver-white machine in the center of the space.

The volume of this machine was about one cubic meter. It looked similar to an engine, but if one looked closely, it was as precise as the internal structure of a mechanical watch.

Looking carefully, one would find that there were thousands of gears, crankshafts, and other parts stacked on top of each other, constantly turning back and forth. The operation even seemed to have a domino effect. The feeling it gave was exquisite and complex to the extreme.

Fang Linyan cast [Reconnaissance] on it. It didn’t cost much, but there were only a few lines in the explanation:

Living Mechanical Heart (semi-damaged state)

Looking carefully, Fang Linyan found that many parts of the internal structure of the Living Mechanical Heart had been corroded. There was a thick layer of fine black and yellow rust below.

Seeing this, Fang Linyan cleaned up the black and yellow rust, then took out several large travel bags from his private space to wrap them up, preparing to throw them away later.

After careful observation, Fang Linyan found that although it was not directly pierced by the weird black spikes, since it was called the heart, it must be responsible for the energy circulation supply of the entire huge body. It was also normal to be affected by the mysterious corrupting force on the body.

It was said that ordinary people would probably feel dizzy just looking at the structure in this Living Mechanical Heart, but Fang Linyan was definitely not an ordinary person. After examining carefully, he figured out some clues.

After frowning and studying for a while, he suddenly shouted to the ceiling,

“Nimbus! I need the structure diagram of this thing.”

It took a while for Nimbus to respond,

“My authority cannot take effect on the security measures here. There is a living half-mechanical nerve synapse next to you. You can query it after holding it.”

Fang Linyan was stunned for a moment, then he looked around. He found that there were indeed several protruding light bulb-like things on the surrounding walls. Some were shimmering; some were flickering; some were completely dimmed.

So the question was, which one was the Nimbus referring to?

He asked a few more times, but Nimbus didn’t reply. Suddenly, he felt that the surrounding translucent fibers began to tremble gradually, then the trembling quickly spread to the entire cavity.

Immediately afterward, the Living Mechanical Heart suddenly began to twitch and accelerate. The rotation speed inside also increased rapidly, from the previous 1000 rotation speed to more than 5000 rotation speed.

This process lasted for about 5 seconds, then an indescribable surging pulse burst out.

Even though this pulse seemed to be only effective for the electronic devices that were powered on, Fang Linyan himself was shocked back for 8 steps in a row. He only felt oppressed in his chest. His back hit the metal wall before he could stop backing, then he gasped for more than ten seconds before calming down.

At this time, he went to the Living Mechanical Heart to take a look. The space below the heart had another thin layer of black and yellow rust again.

Witnessing this scene, Fang Linyan suddenly understood that the root cause of pulses that would damage electronic devices from time to time in hundreds of square kilometers nearby… was here!

Strictly speaking, this should be a protective emergency measure of the Living Mechanical Heart itself. Just like when a person had phlegm stuck in his throat, he would have a conditioned reflex to cough it up.

The Living Mechanical Heart had been polluted by the mysterious power of the black thorns, so it was also constantly slightly polluted. When it reached a certain level, it would instinctively twitch and contract to expel the pollution from its body!

At this time, the Nimbus still didn’t answer. Fang Linyan walked to the wall and tentatively held the half-mechanical nerve synapse with his hand. He suddenly felt that this thing became like a bamboo shoot when squeezed.

The touch felt very good. It was a hard band of soft and full of elasticity. It gave people the urge to not release it.

TL: Where did the black thorns come from?
