Honkai: It’s broken, I have become the Herrscher of Corrosion?

Mei put the book back in its place and chose a more efficient method - using the Internet.

The speed of obtaining information through the Internet is certainly much faster than reading, but it is precisely because of the faster speed that people are more likely to receive information of varying quality and that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Now that Mei has determined the search direction, she will not waste too much time on minor or even useless information.

After Mei's targeted search, news about the Fire Moth appeared in her eyes.

[The Fire Moth, a United Nations agency, is responsible for the development and research of the latest energy source, Honkai Energy. At the same time, it is responsible for treating various diseases caused by Honkai around the world and assisting in solving disasters caused by Honkai.]

"It looks like a scientific research institute and a medical institution, not an organization similar to a government. What does this [solving disasters caused by the collapse] mean... huh? This photo..."

She was very familiar with the thing in the photo; it was a tank-class Honkai beast.

However, the Fire Moths have not achieved greater results so far, or in other words, the previous civilization has not yet produced a Honkai Beast that is more powerful than the Tank-class Honkai Beast.

"According to the information I obtained from World Snake, although the collapse of current civilization is closely related to the rise and fall of civilization, before the first collapse in 1952, there was indeed no place where the Honkai beast attacked human cities."

"More than 4000 years ago, a Judgment-level Honkai beast named Chi You appeared in Shenzhou. Since then, until the first Honkai in 1952, no new Judgment-level or Emperor-level Honkai beasts have appeared, not even Temple-level or Ballista-level ones..."

"That is to say, Honkai is growing stronger with the development of human civilization, and the speed at which it is growing stronger is almost the same as the speed at which human technology is advancing, both increasing exponentially..."

"The birth of the Herrscher means that Honkai has entered its active phase, and it also means that human civilization has entered its countdown."

Mei continued reading.

[In order to ensure the safety of Honkai research and to have sufficient manpower in the face of sudden Honkai events, the Fire Moth has a special "Anti-Honkai Team"]

[The Honkai Squad is affiliated with the United Nations peacekeeping force, and its members enjoy the same military establishment as the peacekeeping force...]

Mei directly ignored the introduction of the Fire Moth later. Because with the outbreak of the Great Collapse, the status of the Fire Moth continued to rise, and the detailed introduction of it at this point in time would inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes later.

"Let's take a look at the research of Honkai energy by the previous civilization. According to Kevin and what I have seen, the technological level of the previous civilization is higher than that of the current civilization."

"The current civilization's understanding of Honkai energy ultimately comes from the final research results of the previous civilization, or in other words, the [correct] understanding of Honkai."

"If we continue to trace the origins and discover some not-so-correct cognitions at the source, perhaps we can help modern civilization break out of its established thinking and find new ideas..."

With this thought in mind, Mei changed the keyword of her search to Honkai energy.

[Honkai energy: a new type of energy after nuclear energy and solar energy. 】

[According to the report of the Fire Chaser, an organization under the United Nations that specializes in Honkai energy research, Honkai energy has existed on Earth thousands of years ago or even longer. Usually, objects that come into contact with Honkai energy will eventually be destroyed, so it is named Honkai energy. ]

[Honkai energy, as a kind of energy, has appeared in human society for a long time, but it has only been about 10 years since humans recognized and began to study it as an energy source. Therefore, the research road is very long. Currently, there is no method that ordinary families can use it, and it cannot replace traditional energy for the time being. 】

[The source of Honkai energy has sparked heated discussions. Thirty years ago, when a scholar first proposed the hypothesis that Honkai energy came from imaginary space, it sparked strong doubts.]

[The scholar believes that Honkai energy comes from the periodic activities of the imaginary space, and Honkai energy is essentially imaginary internal energy. Honkai beasts are creatures from the imaginary space, and are powered by Honkai energy. ]

[The skeptics believe that Honkai energy essentially comes from outer space, and Honkai beasts are essentially alien life forms, and have nothing to do with imaginary space. ]

[20 years ago, through the dissection of Honkai Beast, the Honkai Energy Research Institute (the predecessor of the Fire Moth) concluded that Honkai Beast is not a carbon-based creature, and all its actions are indeed powered by Honkai Energy. ]

[But this result did not stop the debate between the imaginary space faction and the extraterrestrial life faction. Instead, the debate between the two factions has become more and more intense. Of course, the debate between the two factions will not stop until humans can observe the situation inside the imaginary space from the real world, or have the ability to conduct interstellar voyages...]

[8 years ago, in the northern part of Mu Continent, a collapse energy leak occurred, causing hundreds of people to be infected and eventually causing the death of thousands of people. After investigation, it was found that the accident was caused by the poor professional skills of the relevant personnel and illegal operations. ]

[After this incident, all countries have improved their accountability systems for Honkai research. After a vote by the United Nations, the original Honkai Research Institute was officially expanded and renamed the Fire Moth, which is responsible for managing all Honkai-related work around the world.]

On the first day of the establishment of the Fire Moth, the then leader Philip said in his inaugural speech:

"Friends from all over the world, I know that after such a major safety accident, many of you may be afraid of Honkai energy and worry that you will become one of the victims one day in the future. Maybe you will think that I will pat my chest and guarantee that as long as all the work is done by the Fire Moth, similar disasters will not happen."

"Unfortunately, I personally, as well as all the members of the Fire Moth, cannot make such a guarantee. What I want to say is that we and the members of the Fire Moth, like everyone else in the world, will be afraid of the unknown and mysterious existence of Honkai energy."

"But, looking at the history of mankind, the first lightning, the first flame, and everything that has made mankind progress, all started with fear. Turning the most terrifying existence into something that benefits mankind, this is what the Fire Moth needs to do!"】

Watching these passionate speeches, Mei felt quite emotional.

“Humanity will inevitably experience countless setbacks on the road to development. The emergence of any achievement is the result of countless trials and errors.”

"For the advancement of human technology, facing the unknown Honkai energy, we conduct research with the attitude of a moth flying into a flame. This is... the original meaning of the Fire Moth, but..."

"The warriors who chased the fire moths, in the end... indeed became the moths who chased the fire."
