Collapse: Nano Brigade Captain's Journey Across the Galaxy

After a while, Esta came over and asked everyone to stand. No one asked why. After all, everyone was smart and knew that the mechanical life named Screw Cobalt was coming.

And Esta was at the head of the group, and when the elevator reached this floor, she whispered, "Get ready."

"Assuming that thoughts always precede words, no words can define this joy. It's nice to meet you - Estelle."

.....................

As for the appearance of Screw Cobalt, everyone had a heated discussion during the communication of consciousness.

From the perspective of the Herrscher of Knowledge, although she did not understand what those words meant, she inexplicably felt that they were quite powerful.

But from Kallen's point of view, she had no idea what he was talking about.

Otto agreed with this statement. Joyce, a science student, had the same reaction as Karen. Most of the others were confused, except for Yuexia and Chenye. Yuexia was not paying attention to the others, only Chenye.

Chen Ye was looking Screw Cobalt up and down.

Although Screw Cobalt noticed this gaze, she chose not to pay attention to it. Instead, she said to Ester, "I'm sorry, I'm four minutes and thirteen seconds earlier than the agreed time. I hope it doesn't cause any trouble to you."

"How could that be? Mr. Screw Cobalt, welcome to the Black Tower Space Station."

"Esda, there's no need to be so reserved. Just use "you". After all, the "Black Tower" is a place where knowledge converges. Here, we praise the equality of thought. The collaboration of organic life is wonderful and efficient. The speed at which you rebuilt the space station far exceeded my deduction."

"Thank you for your affirmation, Mr. Screw Cobalt. Do you want me to show you around? After the last summit, we have launched several new research projects related to silicon-based matrices."

"Emotionally, I am happy to accept it. But after all, I have an appointment with the Black Tower, so I'd better let these surprises wait for a while."

"Okay, Ms. Heita should be in her office. Come in, I'll lead the way for you."

"Okay." After saying that, he finally turned his gaze to Chen Ye and the others, and asked with a little confusion: "Also, who are these people..."

"Hello, Mr. Screw Cobalt, I am Chen Ye."

"Hello, I'm Qiong."

"So it's you two. I've heard a lot about you. You've been mentioned a lot by Ms. Black Tower recently. Um, what are these behind you?"

"Oh, they are our new companions on the train. Wait a minute, I will introduce them to you one by one."

"Thank you very much." Then he turned to Qiong and said, "Mr. Qiong, I am as curious about you as Heita. What is it like to coexist with a "star core"? I hope there will be enough time for us to get to know each other and the answer to this question."

When Esta led Screw Cobalt away, everyone followed them. However, Joyce would still touch here and there. Tesla ZERO also followed him and looked left and right. Karen was also full of curiosity. As for Teacher Jizi?

She wandered around the space station, appreciating the mystery of the starry sky. In order to prevent teacher Ji Zi from encountering any accidents, Fu Hua and Fu Shi followed Ji Zi.

So the only four people who officially went to the Black Tower office were Qiong, Sanyue, Yuexia and Chenye.

When the four of them arrived at the Black Tower's office, they saw this scene:

"I'll say this one last time! I don't care what Ruan Mei said to you. I'll just tell you, you want to shut down the simulated universe? No way!"

"Black Tower, this is my decision. Question: How much have we invested in this project? Hundreds of system hours, resources of an entire planet, and the most advanced technology in the universe."

"So what do we get? Unknown, doubt, and a series of errors."

"Initially, we defined the simulated universe in the hope of creating a miniature world where we could spy on the movements of the Star God. But now, it is moving further and further away from this goal."

"Humph! "Simulating the universe requires errors", that's what you said, and the current situation is completely consistent with it, so why are you not satisfied?"

In response to Black Tower's dissatisfaction, Screw Cobalt simply said: "I appreciate the flow of knowledge, but I don't agree that the simulated universe will always be just a piece of paper on the to-do list."

"Heita, think about this project. How many surprises has it given you? And how many disappointments has it given you?"

"Humph! The simulated universe never lets me down. It's you who lets me down - Screw! Do you think you're so great? I see that you're just like a... (Chen Ye: Oops, I'm at a loss for words)... a guy from the Idiot Club!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Ms. Black Tower, you are not allowed to scold yourself!"

“…Chen Ye! Shut up! You have no right to speak here now!”

Screw Cobalt said: "Black Tower, I have no intention of questioning you, nor will I deny your efforts in simulating the universe. I just hope to give knowledge and inspiration more room to grow freely."

Hearing this, Heita completely exploded: "Enough! If you don't want to do this, just quit! Go talk to the remaining two people yourself, and... take your skills with you, I don't want them!"

"That's right. After all, I can provide some technical support."

"I can go find Adrian Taylor; I can go find the red-nosed old man in Epseron; I can go find the Society of Knowledge; I can even find Mr. Chen Ye who has been making trouble next to me - at least they won't give up halfway..."

“…The human world.”

"...run away." After saying that, he was ready to leave the office, but when he reached the door, he did not forget to add: "Screw, we have known each other for so long, but this is the first time...I feel that you are just a piece of cold iron." Then he walked out of the office without looking back.

"I'm sorry, guys, for making you laugh."

Chen Ye replied, "It's okay. It's common to have disagreements during academic exchanges. By the way, Mr. Screw Cobalt, I want to invite a friend over. Do you have any objection?"

"Of course I have no objection, but what do you want to do?"

"After all, the simulated universe is going to be shut down, and I also want to copy some data related to the simulated universe. Don't worry, I have asked the Black Tower. Here, this is the chat record."

"Well, no problem." After getting an affirmative answer from Screwcobalt, Chen Ye used the power of the Ruler of Reason to construct a body, took out Fenrir's core from his own body, and implanted it into this body.

"You...what did you do?"

"Nothing. I have several mechanical life forms in my body, but they are restricted by the lack of a carrier, so they cannot come out to move around normally. But recently I happened to have some spare energy, so I can construct a temporary body for them. Since they want to come out and play, I naturally have to agree to their request. But the prerequisite is to help me copy the data about the simulated universe."

"Mechanical life?! So amazing?"

"Hmm? Is it amazing? Aren't you a mechanical lifeform yourself?"

"Mr. Chen Ye, you don't know that after the Emperor War, I am the only mechanical life left in the entire universe. The others are just ordinary robots."

"I see. Then there's nothing strange about me. After all, I just came to your world recently, and these mechanical lives in my body developed self-awareness a long time ago, and they didn't belong to your world before."

“Ah… So that’s how it is…”

"But I don't quite agree with what you just said that you are the only mechanical life in the entire universe."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Not counting the few I brought with me, there is actually a robot that is infinitely close to mechanical life on a planet I recently explored."

"Infinitely close to mechanical life?"

"Yes, and with my help, he completely broke free of that shackle and became a mechanical life."

"I see. Could you please tell me about that robot?"

"no problem."
