Ascension journey - 90. Chapter 90 The Material Cycle Between Ignorance and Unconsciousness

The closer he got to the metalized earth, the more shocked Cheng Bin felt.

From a distance, it looks round and dark like a whole metal ground. When you get closer, you can find that it is composed of metal square pillars that go back and forth, connecting various metal platforms and raised building pillars, layered like a grid. Stacked up.

In the inner domain, all the productive forces that have transformed nature since the birth of human beings add up, and it is estimated that they will not be able to create a corner of the metal ground below.

With the invisible module, Cheng Bin flew at a high speed without causing air fluctuations and quickly approached the surface of the metal planet.

“Regardless of the actual situation in the world, the profound contradiction between smart programs and humans should remain unchanged. When smart programs have an absolute advantage, as a human being, I should try to covertly investigate first and find smart life to communicate face-to-face. It’s a secondary option…”

While thinking about it, Cheng Bin slowed down and flew close to a metal square column comparable to a horizontal skyscraper. He raised his hand very close to the metal surface and slowly penetrated in with his thoughts.

In situations where various situations are unknown, it is much safer to use the mind that is essentially high-dimensional interference to detect than electromagnetic waves. Although in terms of the depth of perception, the mind that recognizes substances based on memory is synchronized with the panorama, but Active use of electromagnetic fields may cause the reaction of various induction devices. Although the range of Nian Qi is small and the penetration is slow, there is basically no possibility of being discovered.

The slowly infiltrating thought air fed back the constituent elements of the metal pillars and the internal scene to the panoramic view. Cheng Bin looked at the analysis of the element composition of the building materials and heaved a sigh of relief. At least the ordinary building materials in this place are not stronger than the inner regions. The world is too advanced, at least in the same dimension.

As for the internal structure of the huge metal column, Cheng Bin can only recognize the transmission pipelines for energy, communication, materials, etc., as well as the multi-clawed octopus-shaped robots that exist at intervals and shrink and stand still like sculptures. Cheng Bin. I don’t know what it is for.

“This is the kind of electronic octopus in the movie, it seems to be called a sentinel? I didn’t expect that the outside and the inside look the same…” Cheng Bin looked at the statue-like fierce mechanical octopuses in the building with interest. , Glanced over the ends of the ten tentacles of the octopus, and then looked at its head, “drills, radar, cutting knives, square claws, multi-sensitivity… and high-energy laser transmitters. It is an excellent tool with a complete set of tools. Workers are more versatile than building robots in Radiation World.”

It’s a pity that Cheng Bin doesn’t intend to alarm these things, otherwise you can see how their internal energy and mobile modules work when they actually act.

After flying away from the huge metal square pillar, Cheng Bin continued to deepen into the metal ground below. He switched the panorama to the sniffing module he rarely used, and screened the molecules in the surrounding air according to the concentration change and diffusion direction. Paint a peculiar image.

Driving this sniffing module and flying a long distance in the metal ground like a cobweb, Cheng Bin found what he wanted.

“In the current pure metal mechanical environment, if there are organic odor molecules, it can only be related to humans who are banned by smart programs.”

Cheng Bin flew up, down, left and right, and after confirming that the true source of the organic molecules was diagonally below, he increased his speed and flew in that direction.

After bypassing countless metal buildings and going all the way down, Cheng Bin came to a depth of tens of kilometers from the surface and felt close to the mantle layer. He finally discovered the source of the diffusion of organic molecules——

A huge circular pool filled with a light orange-red thick liquid, connected to countless pipes.

There was more than one huge pool. After Cheng Bin flew out of the dense metal forest, he saw countless orange-red dots in the vast space in front of him, extending from large to small to the limit of his sight.

And in every pool filled with unknown organic liquids, there is a towering mechanical cylinder with a diameter of 100 meters standing in the center, and its surface is covered with dense translucent flat compartments like rice grains, and each compartment is lying. A naked human body with no trace of hair plugged all over the pipeline.

Countless mechanical octopuses are patrolling and working among the metal columns. The appearance model is slightly different from the one that Cheng Bin has encountered before, and it appears to be more slender.

“It turned out to be a magnetic levitation?” Cheng Bin slowly approached. He carefully observed the mechanical octopuses flying in the air to perform various tasks, and found that they were electromagnetically connected with electromagnetic generators densely covered with various metal buildings. Switching electromagnetic spider silk to fly in the metal space like Spiderman.

Carefully avoiding the flying mechanical octopuses and the electromagnetic orbits they are attached to, Cheng Bin approached a metal cylinder erected in the center of the organic matter solution pool, and looked at the humans on the surface of the cylinder that were enclosed by the translucent cabin.

Even though he had already seen it in the movie, when Cheng Bin really faced this scene of human beings as a resource captive, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

At this time, there was a mechanical occlusal sound from the side. Cheng Bin looked sideways and saw that a cabin with a human next to him had lifted the hatch, and a skinny human with various lines disconnected inside slipped into it along with a large amount of liquid. The opening of the nozzle at the junction of the cabin and the column was removed, and then the nozzle was quickly closed.

A mechanical octopus flew there precisely after the hatch was completely opened, put the human larvae held in several mechanical claws in it, and proceeded with the various lines buried deep in the larvae and the lines in the cabin one by one. Docking.

With shaking fingers, Cheng Bin looked down and saw a thin figure with a large amount of mucus slipped from the bottom of the cylinder into the inner circle of the orange-red solution pool. The whole body was quickly decomposed and turned into various elements into the outer circle. In the organic solution.

The orange-red viscous organic solution was extracted from the pool and transported along the pipes inside the cylinder to all corners of the cylinder surface. The compartment where the larvae were previously placed has been closed with a lid, and a large amount of orange-red liquid refilled the inside. space.

Cheng Bin watched this scene silently, watching the machinery recycle the organic matter called humans with trembling efficiency, and only relying on a small amount of additional chemical materials and energy to maintain this metal forest smoothly. I don’t know how many billions of human beings survive.

“Should I do something?” Cheng Bin, who is also a human, felt pity for these mechanically-bred fellows, but after looking around, he could only helplessly shook his head-compared to the current humans. The metal planet that can’t survive at all, it is really better to use smart programs to confine humans in the virtual world.

“How big is the scale of the captive humans in this world…” Cheng Bin sighed as he looked at the star-like human storage compartment, “Forget it, first achieve your goal, try to do something else and wait. Finally.”

After scanning around, Cheng Bin flew to the nearest translucent cabin containing an adult man.
