Lin Jing also didn't know what he was about to encounter - even though he was already close to a restricted area of ​​the earth.

The chaotic memory did not interfere with his behavior, he would doubt it, but many times his body seemed to respond instinctively to the crisis, and he could solve any problem at hand neatly while full of doubts.

He has experienced many battles, not rhetorically, he has indeed traveled through the stars and fire for many years, so that fighting no longer requires special concentration.

even……

Sneaking in secretly is much easier than eating with the blonde alpha!

Lin Jing was also extremely confused, because he didn't know where his hostility towards blond hair came from. It's okay to be female or bo blond. If unfortunately it's an alpha, male, or S-level, then it's over. Lin Jing also felt that he wouldn't go up and beat Charles up. It is really giving the earth general face.

The higher you go, the less crowded you go. At the beginning, there will be some laboratories on each floor. As you go higher, there are no rooms in those corridors, and there are no elevators. You need to go upstairs on foot, and when Lin Jing also takes a step Leaving the stairwell, the scene in front of me suddenly changed. There are no longer floor corridors, and the whole space has become a transparent structure. At a glance, you can see the top of the giant tower, which may be hundreds of meters away. The sky presents a more Pure deeper shade.

The ring-shaped structure, looking at each floor, seems to be...

It's all some kind of machine room.

The cables are connected with various devices. Lin Jing also raised his head and saw a floating platform in the middle at the highest point. The covered bridges are connected from both sides. Looking upwards from the bottom, it looks very much like the one with distorted light around a black hole. Ring shape.

There is no possibility of sneaking in such a completely open space. He turned around directly, and walked up the escalator in a straightforward and generous manner. While walking, he tore off the white coat that was in the way, revealing the pathetic soldier from a poor special soldier when he went upstairs. The exoskeleton from the body, the slender fingers flew nimbly, and various parts were pulled out from unexpected places by him, and they were assembled into an electromagnetic gun in his hands like magic.

He didn't need to lower his eyes to look at it all the time, he knew what the functions of those parts should be just by touching.

——It seems that he has handled various types of weapons and parts.

But suddenly, he sensed the existence of another moving object, which was very close to him, and was crouching in the corner of the escalator ahead, thinking it was concealed.

So what kind of personnel is this guarding a confidential place?

To be honest, not very good.

Lin Jing also raised his eyebrows secretly—that is a pretty good special soldier, from adjusting his muscle state to concealing his breathing, he did a very good job, but unfortunately, at this level, ten more can be challenged. No one can stop him.

Then he suddenly realized——when he tore off the camouflage just now, he took off his glasses, so...

In fact, he was a perfectly concealed fighter, and it wasn't the man's own negligence that would reveal it, but Lin Jingye's right eye—because he also lost the colored contact lenses in his eyes, and the colored contact lenses were very uncomfortable after all. But Lin Jingye put on one as soon as he opened his eyes, and didn't feel anything strange.

Only then did he discover why there was a colored contact lens, because his right eye couldn't see anything.

The entire field of vision was gray and chaotic, but when he looked at the perfect hiding spot, he saw the figure crouching behind him, slightly flushed from body heat.

Some sort of aftereffect of radiation.

Such a cognition emerged in Lin Jingye's mind.

It is still a very useful sequelae, Lin Jing also thought playfully, pretending to be ignorant, and continued to move forward.

Just as his toes stepped out of the cover, a whirlwind-like shadow rushed forward, directly attacking the vital point of his throat!

Lin Jing also grabbed backhand, the speed was even faster, his right hand held the attacker's wrist, a surge of electricity shot out, the opponent let out a deliberately suppressed exclamation, but immediately, Lin Jing also frowned and stopped——

The other party was shocked and gave up all resistance?

It's not the kind of surrender that gives up resistance, but it's like bumping into a comrade-in-arms head-on, and there is no flaw in his body.

Lin Jingye: "You—"

"captain!"

Lin Jing was also taken aback.

In front of her was a female alpha with a slender figure. She was only a little over 1.7 meters tall, much lower than the average, and she had a plant smell on her body.

very familiar.

The next second he stroked his right arm—could this be the unlucky owner of a fake gland in his right arm?

"You—" Lin Jing also looked at her. This female alpha did give him a familiar feeling, and he couldn't be on guard at all. He looked at this girl who was also snatched from the equipment, showing a faint smile, "Not bad, what's your name?"

Meera looked at Lin Jingye in shock, this was the biggest blow she had received since arriving on Earth.

"Captain? You, have you lost your memory?"

"Well, it's not amnesia." Lin Jing also nodded, "It's not a big deal that there is a layer of false memory covering the real one, it's just a little confusing."

"My God, Captain, do you still remember your boyfriend?" Meera was worried.

Lin Jing was also dumbfounded: "I have...a boyfriend?"

Meera's complexion changed drastically, and her voice was terrified: "It's over, if the Sky Sword is going to destroy the universe, can we stop it?"

Lin Jingye: "???"

Wait, what kind of boyfriend did I find, and I was in a bad mood and directly blew up the universe. Is this a singularity that differentiates into omega, the kind that will explode?

This is not the time to talk about love, so Meera held on to her shaky mind and pulled herself together to report: "Captain, I came all the way from Chang'an, and I have saved videos and data backups as evidence. In the city, there is an arsenal that does not produce weapons, but man-made humans!"

"Artificial human?" Lin Jing also raised his eyebrows, "A clone is still a bionic human made from scratch. There is a difference in terms of rigor."

"Sorry Captain, it's a clone." Meera bowed her head.

Lin Jingye: "That's okay. Combining bionic technology with machinery to manufacture prosthetic limbs, organ prostheses, etc. is feasible, but if it is to directly create new life forms out of thin air, it will be a big deal."

"Those clones are adults when they mature, and my subordinates guess that they are mostly used for military purposes, such as charging into battle."

However, Lin Jing also patted Mela's arm with the body of the gun, motioning her to continue walking, and then said: "No, don't be misled by film and television dramas, cloning is not copy and paste, this technology is only about resource costs, creating A qualified clone is much more expensive than raising a child in an ordinary family, no one would be willing to use a clone as cannon fodder."

"Subordinates understand." Meera sighed, the captain is the captain after all, and even memory confusion is more insightful than her.

"Have you found anything else?"

Meera: "Yes, the subordinates have already checked these floors. There are no staff members, and no AI activity has been detected. These things that look like computer rooms are becoming more and more mechanized as they go up."

"What do you mean?" Lin Jing also stopped, "What is the mechanization of 'Yue'?"

Mei La pursed her lips, walked directly to a row of mechas, and quickly opened the door in a half-dark, half-picking manner. When she saw the contents inside, Lin Jing also immediately understood what Mei La meant.

——It’s not a circuit board or a battery inside, it’s a transparent container filled with a clear orange liquid, connected with large and small pipes and wires, and inside that container is a human brain.

"It's alive, it's fully functional, it's not a specimen." Lin Jingye's expression didn't change at all, he stopped Meera who was trying to examine it carefully, "What's the condition of the thing above?"

"Gradually upwards, there are mechanical parts and human brains fused together. There is no biological structure at the highest level, all of which are... uh, things like mobile memory. On the central platform is a quantum computer, which is probably the main system. where."

"Echo of Eriland."

Meera nodded: "Captain, do you remember?"

Lin Jingye: "It's probably not completely covered by false memories, I didn't think about it, but I knew it instinctively."

"Captain, we have every reason to believe that this is an echo base camp. If it's not even enough, it's a high-level center, although we don't know what level of center it is."

"Probably." Lin Jing also replied casually, "You will know when it explodes."

The echo center is equivalent to a higher-level authority unit. If the center is not broken with other echo units when it is destroyed, it is easy to transmit the death signal, causing the rest of the echo units connected to it to be disordered.

Suddenly, the light in the whole space seemed to flicker, and Lin Jing's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly had an uncomfortable intuition.

"An unknown unit is detected, the defense system is online, and the A-level warning is activated. Warning: Unknown units, please put down your weapons immediately, exit the 'academic area', and obey the arrangements of the bottom-level base personnel. This is the first warning."

A female voice resounded throughout the tower, mechanical, perfect, gentle and magnetic.

Mei La drew out her weapon, but Lin Jing did not make much movement. He still held his electromagnetic gun in his left hand and continued to climb up in an orderly manner.

"Warning: Unknown units, please put down your weapons immediately and exit the academy area. This is the second warning, and the warning level has been raised to a+."

"I suggest you just fill it up." Lin Jingye's voice was calm and even polite, "After all, even if you warn me [-] times, I won't stop."

The female voice fell silent.

Lin Jingye swung the electromagnetic gun with his hand, and the energy system began to pressurize. He continued: "It seems that you are not an ordinary AI acting according to the program."

"I'm curious." The female voice sounded again, still full of magnetic gentleness, but not so mechanical and flat, the voice asked in a tone very similar to a normal human, "How did you manage to do it in less than three days?" Have you determined that you are not a resident of the earth within a short period of time?"

Lin Jingye: "Well, I really wasn't born here."

The female voice remained silent for a little longer, until Lin Jing went up five more floors, almost only the last two and a half floors away from the platform.

"So you weren't sure before."

Lin Jingye: "Intuition."

"Stop, don't go on again." The woman's voice was a little harsh, "The security system is 100% activated, and the guards are about to be dispatched. Please stop the intrusion immediately."

"College?" Lin Jing also turned a deaf ear, and asked instead, "You call this place 'College', what do you study, how do you poach people's brains to make it fresh?"

"You have seen our first graders." The woman's voice became two, one was still sternly yelling, and kept broadcasting the remaining countdown to the so-called guard's activation, and the other was still so intellectual and elegant, no different from holding a gun. The young people who came seemed to gossip.

"First grader?" Lin Jing also walked around a corner, and when the countdown counted down to zero, there was a trembling sound in the space, and a row of tall figures suddenly stood on the platform.

"Captain, be careful, mechanical soldiers!"

Those things are similar to Amanda in heavy armor, but obviously there is no human flesh and blood wrapped in those iron sheets, only precision-operated machinery.The smudged, icy-cold matte case is chilling.

Purely humanoid mechanical creations, the Federation prohibits such things, because there have been similar cases where the owner developed a special friendship with his own mechanical products, which surpassed the limit of people's feelings for objects, and within a few years, the product reached the level of scrapping, Or the system had a bug and restored the factory settings, causing some people to crash because of this, making troubles at the smart machinery production company, and even "died for love" in serious cases.

No matter how human-like it looks, it is just a dead thing. A doll will not come back to life because of its exquisite facial features. Humans have transformed a laptop computer thousands of years ago into a human form, which does not mean that this computer has a mind since then.

However, people are not always so rational.

According to the law, all the intelligent mechanical products of the Federation are not too real. Most of them are made into fantasy creatures, such as the wonderful cat dragon in Ren's house, and the best character designers can make the characters very vivid. .

And the ones in front of them are completely mechanical figures.

Lin Jing also did not hesitate to act, and even seemed to be able to do it with ease. It is possible for an army of machines to crush humans, but it must be based on the absolute advantage of numbers. If there are such a few, machines that have no thinking and only rely on programs to act are not in Lin Jing's hands. It's not much more powerful than a toy in the eyes.

Armament technology is competed on the battlefield, but it is people who actually fight.

"Ma'am, aren't you going to control them yourself?" Lin Jing could even chat while fighting.

Not to mention the dozens of mechanical "guards", a flashback memory suddenly appeared in Lin Jingye's mind. It was in an abandoned factory, he pretended to be a star bandit, and single-handedly faced 44 heavily armed soldiers.

Only three survived by chance.

The female voice didn't seem to show any sign of being irritated, she suddenly picked up the topic at the beginning without end: "This is called the 'New Athens Academy', a total of sixteen grades, grades, grades, etc. After graduating from the sixth level, they will go to the platform below me, and I will carry out the final education by myself."

"Is it convenient to reveal the learning content?"

Meera, who was on the side, was dumbfounded when she heard this. How could the person whom Sky Sword was looking for be an ordinary person, but Jian fell in love with the school's parents to consult the admissions director's sense of sight, which was too amazing.

The seniors of 927 are really strong. The captain’s expression doesn’t change much after playing like this, and his tone is even more indifferent, as if he was casually greeting his neighbors. Beta doesn’t have pheromone yet, so how on earth did they guess the captain’s mood? of?

"This college will learn a lot." The female voice finally had a hint of urgency, because those "guards" were being scrapped at a terrifying speed, and she spoke much faster, "Students who have passed the entrance examination, they are The lower grades learn to adjust to life without their human form."

"A new beginning." Lin Jing also shuttled back and forth between the energy ray and the light energy blade. Meera was in the distance and did not participate in the battle. Instead, she was always on alert, guarding against any troubles around her.

Counting along the way, there are about a thousand or more so-called students here.

The female voice said: "Yes, a new journey. Just like young children learning to walk, they begin to learn how to survive in information."

"Then what is graduation?"

The female voice seemed to be impatiently waiting for his question, and answered almost immediately: "When they completely get rid of the shackles their bodies once left for them."

"Just graduated?"

"No, this is the eighth grade assessment."

Lin Jing also let out an inexplicable laugh: "Then there are eight years left, what are you going to learn?"

"Learn to be a man."

"Ma'am." Lin Jing also responded, "You will not only have these mechanical soldiers, I suggest you activate other defense mechanisms now, otherwise you will have little chance to teach students to be human in the future."

Meera sneered brightly, and the female voice sighed: "Absurd? Colonel Meera Young, let me ask you a question. Do you think your captain is alone?"

The alpha in the distance didn't answer, her expression seemed to see a hundred Idilts posing in front of her.

Even Lin Jing was slightly surprised.

He was still a few steps away from the central platform, and this Echo didn't actually fight back?

"He has an arm that's purely mechanical, but you don't think he's not human anymore just because of that. So you think he's no longer human when so many things are replaced with mechanical?"

Boom, boom.

It was the sound of metal parts shattering. The guard was kicked off the platform by Lin Jingye and fell to pieces when he landed.

"In other words, the vicious star bandits robbed ordinary civilian starships and slaughtered all the passengers for fun. Do you think such star bandits deserve to be called human beings?"

Meera answered the question: "Could be scum."

The female voice laughed.

"In the eighth grade, we teach students how to exist as a piece of thinking. When they are in the 16th grade, they have to learn how to be a human thinking, or a person without a fixed flesh and blood body."

boom--

The last guard fell to the ground with a bang, and the power core exploded with a dazzling flame. Lin Jingye slowly raised his unextinguished muzzle. He stood on the edge of the platform and aimed at the console on it.

"What about those who can't graduate?"

"...everyone who enters here not only has passed the assessment, but also becomes a student here after a physical accident or a disease that cannot be cured." The female voice replied frankly and calmly, "You can regard this place as a "Afterlife", only those who graduate will be stripped from their brains and enter the cloud. In the past 16 years, the human brain has survived independently and healthy for 16 years, which is the limit of current biotechnology on the earth."

Lin Jing also nodded, with the killing intent still in his eyes, and said coldly and distantly: "I have to say, your rhetoric is very philosophical. It seems that you are the center of Eriland's echo?"

"No, I am not."

The woman's elegant voice suddenly showed a little pride, she said:

"I am Eriland, but I am not Echo."
