After all, table knives are used as consumables after being heated, so he naturally knows what kind of use it will have if it is made into armor.

Hundreds of plasma intelligent grenades hit the mechanical behemoth, completely submerging it in the smoke and dust stirred up by the explosion.

The humanoids sheathed their MDL grenade launchers and dispersed. Some stayed behind to block the incoming mechanical scorpions. Others quickly reloaded their grenade launchers, ready to fire another round if the scorpions made any movement.

[Wuhu!] The AAT fired the heavy laser rifle into the smoke for a long time, only stopping when the gun automatically locked onto the target.

Sun Yang pulled out an exhaust fan and quickly cleaned the area. The massive robotic scorpion lay there without dignity.

It no longer had the protection of Saturn alloy. The armor had been reduced to countless metal fragments that flew everywhere. What lay there now was nothing more than the incomplete wreckage that looked very much like a mechanical scorpion.

The Saturn alloy armor covering it did not provide strong protection, but instead became the key point for being shattered. This thick armor did not provide corresponding incredible protection.

"Firepower is the key to victory," Sun Yang sighed. The humanoids gradually approached the mechanical scorpion, destroying its exposed wiring and completely eliminating its chance of getting back up.

The remaining Saturn alloy still glowed with a fiery glow, appearing incredibly hot. Sun Yang and his humanoid team bypassed the broken machine and headed upstairs. He wanted to discuss his future life with this Mobius.

"Mobius! You lose! Surrender! I've proven I'm stronger than you!" Sun Yang shouted from below. Meanwhile, the mechanical scorpions that had been rushing out from nearby, attempting to stop the humanoid team, were in a state of disarray.

The scorpions stopped attacking and retreated in the direction they came from.

"I was clearly coerced by you..." Mobius's dull voice came from the loudspeaker.

"But no matter what, I can control it better than you. I can completely take over the mountains, and I can seal and preserve the dangerous technologies here one by one. I am not alone, I have a powerful force that is loyal only to me." Sun Yang said as he followed the humanoid team into the deep room.

202 Mouth Cannon Mobius

Small teams of humanoids and puppets marched through the rust-covered corridors. Makarov and Thompson, each leading their own teams, walked in front. The remaining humanoids, along with the four puppets they controlled, formed groups of five and stood guard in different locations.

[Let's go!] Thompson kicked open the door in front of them. She and Makarov looked left and right vigilantly, then sent the puppets carrying submachine guns and plasma weapons to rush in and occupy a favorable position.

This seems to be an abandoned production center command center. Judging from the accumulated dust, it lacks effective maintenance and cleaning.

The machines here were all rusted, but they looked like they were still usable. Amongst this huge pile of instruments was a thought with a broken display.

"You win. What are you going to do with me?" Mobius' voice came from the speaker behind the screen.

"What is this thing?! How did you survive with only a brain? Are you a machine? Or a human?" Thomson said in surprise.

"In any case, I feel that this thing is not in the same category as us." Makarov cautiously pointed his gun at the strange machine in front of him.

"I agree. I'd rather be friends with the smart bread maker..." Thompson quickly ordered the other members of his team to disperse and quickly organize into a loose firepower network.

Sun Yang strode out from behind the crowd of humanoids. Dozens of humanoids surrounded him, and all the guns were pointed at Mobius in the center.

"Is this your army? Are they all robots?" Mobius scanned the surroundings with a scanner and saw only a large number of mechanical structures, without any biological tissue.

"They are all my subordinates and the people I trust the most. They will not betray me, and I will respond to their expectations, and my will will definitely be carried out." Sun Yang said.

"I have never seen such advanced AI technology. Even Robert House couldn't make such a smart and sophisticated robot. I thought the technology here in the Great Mountains should be the most powerful in the United States, no, in the world, but I have to admit that your machine technology is indeed far superior to that of the Great Mountains." Mobius said leisurely.

"I have to admit, the information technology here is incredibly backward, but being able to create a machine that can communicate with less than a gigabyte of RAM is truly astonishing. I don't want G1 and M36's vacuum cleaners discussing philosophy with me." M1887 grumbled quietly in the chat, and the surrounding figures echoed him.

"By the way, the Madre Casino is now under my control. If I want, I can release the red mist at any time to flood the entire Mojave and the West Coast. Didn't you send a lot of interesting technology there? Holographic security, holographic vending machines, red mist, overdrive clothing, and even a table knife made of Saturn alloy. How do you think I discovered the weakness of Saturn alloy armor?"

Sun Yang pulled out a Saturn alloy table knife from his pocket and threw it in front of Mobius. The extremely sharp and tough table knife stabbed straight into the metal floor in front of him.

"...Okay, I guess you really don't need more military technology. The stuff in that casino is enough to make most of the United States an uninhabited area. But since the mountains haven't been occupied by the red fog yet, it means you didn't do that..." Mobius was reluctantly persuaded by Sun Yang.

"Thank you for your understanding, Mobius. I also thank you for your perseverance and hard work. I had planned to smash all the jars of the Thought Body here and stomp on their brains because of the countless crimes of human experiments you have committed. But in the final analysis, I still need the people here to integrate the technology, and I also need the Thought Body to sort out the verified and problem-free technology, and then I will take it to the wasteland. Integrating the technology here cannot be done by me and my people alone." Sun Yang continued to express his views to Mobius.

"..." Mobius's display screen did not say anything, he seemed to be thinking.

"Mobius, please help me convince or eliminate the other minds, and help me integrate the technology here. Ensure that this technology is properly sealed and preserved, and eliminate these hidden dangers. You have your limits alone, but with me here, I can help you completely suppress these extremely intelligent minds. You don't have to bear such a heavy responsibility alone."

"The United States has perished, and a new regime is struggling to grow. You and I have an obligation to contribute to the struggling people of this land. Use the technology here to save those living in the wasteland."

Sun Yang slowly stood before the dirty, aged, and somewhat damaged container of Mobius. He stared directly at the man who was doing his utmost to prevent the Great Mountain Range's technology from spreading to the outside world.

"Save the wasteland? I haven't heard this word for a long time..." Mobius murmured.

"You can regard it as atonement. I don't mind how you view this work. For a long time, the scientific research work here has lacked management and constraints. Unrestrained technological progress will definitely bring endless disasters." Sun Yang said to the trembling Mobius in front of him.

"At least I agree that without constraints, the development of technology will go astray. Okay, I agree to assist you, but I, uh, my mental state is not very good. You know, when I was dealing with other minds, I also tampered with some of my own memories. Oh, maybe I should take some mantate solution to keep my mind flexible." Mobius stuttered.

"Long-term consumption of this drug is not a good thing... Can it really keep the brain active for a long time? How long have you been taking it?" Sun Yang always felt something was not right.

"Almost two hundred years. I've been eating this stuff since I still had a body." Mobius said casually.

[Is this the human brain? It's incredible. Great! I want a brain too, I want inspiration and passion. I don't even know what dopamine and adrenaline do to the human body.] Si Deng was a little envious.

"Yeah, and then you'll die instantly after taking a bullet to the head, instead of losing a bunch of parts and running away with your head covered. Just experience it for now, you don't really want to use a body that's exhausted after running a dozen kilometers, do you?" Makarov said sarcastically.

"Isn't that the expensive postman? I saw her take a bullet in the head and survive. Running ten kilometers is like drinking water." Sedeng tried to refute.

"Then find another weird guy like that. She had to ask the Commander to install a new arm when it was broken. It was such a hassle. We can just replace it directly." Makarov retorted.

Sun Yang did his best to ignore the small talk among the Palette team. He expressed his respect for the will of this Mobius.

"Okay, but I'm really worried you're dead. Have you ever changed the jar that holds your head?"

"No, I haven't replaced it yet. I need to do some repairs. What are you going to do? Can you fix my black screen?"

"It has a history of more than a hundred years. If I simply repair it, it shouldn't break down into materials." Sun Yang carefully took out his staff and cast a spell on the machine containing Mobius' brain.

"What? Decomposition materials?" He watched as Sun Yang took out a strange staff and waved it twice. He was surprised to find that the life support system containing the brain had improved significantly, and the broken display screen immediately returned to normal.

"I can finally see the world using two screens. What kind of new technology is this? Where did you learn it from? This cane is not an ordinary metal cane?" Mobius asked excitedly.

"I'm sorry, you can't learn it with just your brain. I know other powerful tricks, but you only have your brain left. I feel there will be terrible consequences after you use them." Sun Yang waved his hand to reject Mobius's inquiry.

What if Sun Yang used a blood recovery miracle and directly healed Mobius's head and body? That would be too chaotic. The situation of the thought body was too special. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Sun Yang would not tamper with their body - that is, their brain.

If he were to do anything, he would have to experiment on brainless people and other brains first... I really don't know the limit of Dark Souls 2's blood recovery miracle, he has never used it on humans.

Oh no, that's not right. There's a crazy wizard at home. Strider must have done this before, just ask him. Sun Yang took this to heart and then muttered to Mobius about how to arrange for the other minds in the think tank.

Although the Enclave's approach is useless in Mobius, the minds in the think tank should be quite receptive to it, right?

203 Is this all the Think Tank's army is?

[Master, you contacted me after such a long time just for this?] Strider, the designated boss of the Dark Souls 2 world, looked helpless.

"I haven't tried it. Just tell me if you know." Sun Yang urged.

"I'm being frank. None of these will work. The spell requires at least an intact head for regeneration to succeed. The head is the primary component. If your Mobius wanted to possess a human body, it probably wouldn't be difficult. If he developed cloning technology, he could easily create a well-adapted body for himself and then place his head inside. Master, I advise you not to worry." Strider rattled off a bunch of words.

"Well, okay, that's true." Sun Yang could only give up the idea.

After assisting in the development of rune prosthetics made of different materials, the great wizard tried to create more soul-driven rune mechanisms.

For example, there are arms that can release soul arrows by injecting soul power, and rune modules that temporarily enhance arm strength and increase hardness.

These are all very useful, but after the humanoid is equipped with them, it is impossible to activate the rune power. Strider can only cut off one of his own arms and install it on his own broken limb to test the effect.

During this period, Strider finally created a technology that could replace the staff and cast spells directly with his hands - he stuffed a spell catalyst core into the modified rune prosthesis. Now, as long as he installed this arm, he could happily cast spells with his bare hands.

There was no way, the humanoids had never been able to activate the soul power within their bodies. In Strade's words, these soul powers could be said to be rooted, or parasitic, in the humanoids. As purely mechanical structures, the humanoids could use soul power to activate rune prosthetics, but they could not use them to cast any spells.

"This rune prosthetic is Dolan Gureg's puppet technology. Those puppets can move by absorbing souls, but I've never seen a soul-driven metal puppet that can cast spells." Strider could only helplessly admit that this technology still faces technical difficulties.

Soul, in the context of Soul II, is referred to as the energy of life activities. The more souls a creature has, the more powerful and robust it becomes, full of vitality. To put it bluntly, without a fleshy body, spells cannot be cast.

While he was arguing with Strider, the humanoids retreated from the base. After Thompson's team replenished the puppets, they left behind three humanoids and their 3 accompanying puppets. The remaining troops spread out across the ancient dome base, stationed in various corridors and strategic locations to strengthen its defenses.

Mobius stayed in the old base. He had no fighting ability at all, so there was no need to go out. The most important thing was to stay here and not run around.

Sun Yang asked Mobius to continue to remotely control the mechanical scorpion to block the think tank and the laboratories where technology was stored, while Sun Yang himself took the remaining members of Thompson's team and Makarov's team straight to the central think tank dome.

The helicopter that had been strafing the sky for half a day also turned its nose and headed directly for the think tank dome in the center.

Although it's called the Great Mountain Range Research Base, the environment inside isn't exactly great. Originally, it was called the Great Mountain Range because this secret experimental base was built within a massive mountain range, and only the pre-war US government could resupply the mountain through special channels.

But after the war, the unattended minds began to perform various large-scale activities. Sun Yang couldn't recall what experiments they conducted, but the result was that the rock in the upper half of the mountain range evaporated, revealing various experimental bases hidden beneath. It was also the first time that the minds saw the sky from within the dome.

This experiment also shows that these people don't care much about environmental management and protection in order to conduct experiments.

The rugged mountain roads seemed no different from before the war. Many test sites were not cleaned up at all after the tests were completed. The thinkers just casually left a pile of junk there.

The situation is like a person who has finished his meal and there is some leftover rice, but he doesn't wash it away and just leaves the bowl there for decades.

There is also a special garbage disposal station in the distance for failed experiments. However, from here, it looks like there is a large pile of radioactive materials piled up in the open air. It doesn't look like it is managed at all. It is just piled there as a garbage mountain.

"Damn it, I have to beat someone up now. It feels like there's quite a mess in this crappy place..." Sun Yangguang felt at a glance that there were too many things to deal with in this place.

Two hundred years of high-tech waste—a mountain of valuables at best, a mountain of potentially deadly, explosive garbage at worst. Finding a couple of nuclear bombs in there wouldn't be surprising.

It seemed as if the minds within the think tank sensed something was amiss outside. As Sun Yang and his humanoid form charged aggressively towards the think tank, the surrounding skeletons controlled by the Overdrive suits and the mindless individuals in surgical attire converged on Sun Yang.

In addition, some mechanical guards previously built by the think tanks also came from afar.

However, those mechanical guards were immediately paralyzed by the humanoids equipped with electronic warfare modules, causing their software to report errors and they stood there in a daze.

The three helicopters in the sky provided fire support, mowing the fleeing mechanical guards into pieces. Apart from anything else, the tactical missile systems they carried posed a certain threat to the helicopters, and they had to be eliminated before being locked onto.

The skeletons in the super-speed suits that rushed out were not as powerful as the Brotherhood's power armor warriors.

The tactical abilities of these Override Skeletons are entirely dependent on programming written into them long ago, and the Override Suit has no protective capabilities at all, and the weapons used by the Skeletons are just ordinary laser guns.

When these super suits carrying skeletons and holding various energy weapons rushed out, they were immediately beaten to pieces by the humanoids with faster reactions and more advanced tactical modules.

Not to mention the Brainless, who are useless. Without good armor and weapons, they fight humanoids with their heads. Oh, the Brainless don't even have brains to use.

The humanoids' attack was unstoppable, and they soon reached the door of the think tank dome. Sun Yang took out a loud speaker and shouted:

"Listen up, everyone inside! On behalf of the Enclave, the only legitimate government in the United States, I'm sending you a message! Stop your attacks immediately! Attacking the military will not be tolerated! You're committing treason!"

Sun Yang fired his weapon several times, but the attacks of the Super Skeletons and the Brainless Men did not slow down. Sun Yang had no choice but to let the humanoids and the helicopter above him clean up the remaining enemies that were shooting.

Since the other party doesn't believe it, then use force to make them believe it. As long as they believe it, Sun Yang can make a big fuss about the military's act of opening fire.

Sun Yang gathered his thoughts as the figure in front of him blasted the door open and violently charged into the dome of the think tank. Meanwhile, Sun Yang strolled leisurely into the think tank.

204 Persuasive Thought

When the humanoid figure blasted open the door and rushed in murderously, the five thought bodies that had been staying here gathered together, staring at the humanoid figure in front of them on the display screen with trepidation.

"How could this happen? How could this happen? The calming force field has lost its effect?! Why did they come in with guns?! I scanned... What did I see? A group of robots that are as sophisticated as humans? Am I dreaming? Wake me up from this nightmare!" The leading thought tried to shout to dispel the fear in its heart.

But after the AAT equipped with a heavy laser gun blasted the floor in front of it, the thought body was sure that everything in front of it was real.

The leading thought hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to lift the display screen.

"Warning, invaders! You are before the mighty think tank of the Great Mountain Range, a collection of geniuses, that is..."

"You think we're invaders?! What do you think this place is?! Is this your and your team's playground?!" Sun Yang stepped out from the shadows and rudely interrupted the thought. He directly used his aura to suppress the other party and began to use unreasonable means to silence it.

Sun Yang was wearing an American pre-war officer's coat. He had changed into this outfit while on the road. There were different photos of him in many pre-war magazines. Sun Yang asked Griffin to take the time to make one for him.

"What? How dare you speak to me like that?! Do you know who I am?! Even two hundred years ago, I was the most distinguished researcher! Look at your face! You're clearly a piece of shit!"

"Stupid! Have your brains been soaked by two hundred years?! Who provided you with the experimental materials?! Who provided you with funding?! Have you forgotten everything in the past two hundred years?! Citizen, are you really a scientific researcher here? I need to verify your identity and tell me your name." Sun Yang roared angrily.

"Klein..." The thought body named Klein was still scared when facing the muzzles of numerous energy weapons and live ammunition weapons.

"According to our list, there has never been a pre-war scientist named Klein. Let me ask you, are you aware of the transaction between the Madre Casino and the Great Mountain Range? Are you aware of the crime of trafficking in secret technology?" Sun Yang brought up the issue that the Great Mountain Range could never get around.

"What?! The deal with the Madre Casino is legal! We're just raising funds! Yeah, that's right, you're a damned scoundrel, you're our enemy! You're making excuses!" Klein was clearly getting anxious. He hadn't expected anyone to actually bring up something that happened hundreds of years ago.

"You're still using race and political identity to divert the subject! Listen carefully, you stupid brain, now you can only show your value in the Great Mountains! And the Great Mountains must be brought under the jurisdiction of the government! No exceptions!" Sun Yang's roar drowned out Klein's sophistry, even suppressing the sound of the loudspeaker.

"Code name Dr. Klein, what is your answer? Do you think the Great Mountain Range should return to government jurisdiction? As the only legitimate government inherited from the United States of America, the Enclave has the right to take back all the United States' technology and industries." Sun Yang continued to play the role of a cold-faced and ruthless Enclave official.

"I, I...but didn't the Enclave already..." Klein's mind trembled as he tried to find words to refute the man in front of him.

"What do you mean by 'already finished'? It's already been destroyed? Who told you that? Well, I have already sent troops to investigate other laboratories, and I found records of wastelanders visiting. Did your team spread these technologies outside? Did you leak state secrets? Have you ever thought about what would happen if the descendants of the expeditionary forces learned these technologies? Do you want the United States to be completely destroyed?! What have you done?!" Sun Yang sprayed Klein with angry words.

"I've tried my best!" Klein tried to refute.

"Really? All you did was to catch people outside, letting three wastelanders come in and make trouble, and even giving him technology? A few hours ago, people from the Brotherhood of Steel came in, but they were blocked by the thought body code-named Mobius, who opposed you. I saw him trying his best to protect the technology, what are you doing?" Sun Yang's question was still a moral kidnapping.

The other party could only shrink in silence, not daring to say a word of rebuttal.

Sun Yang knew the reason for Klein's silence. Dr. Klein's mind, due to either the transformation or Dr. Mobius's database attack, had lost his understanding of the human body.

To him, humans have lost that unique impression and are no different from mice and frogs.

On the other hand, despite losing his sense of identity with humanity, his feelings for his country seemed to remain, as a huge American flag hung in his home. Dr. Klein had an inexplicable aversion to the word "treason."
