NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 198: "First Encounter" Replica Town

"Oh... I'm sorry, I forgot." Ye Feng touched 153's head and comforted him.

"Estimate the mass of the tower!"

"Report: It is about 1000 million tons, and it will not exceed two orders of magnitude."

"Your estimate, tsk tsk ..."

Ye Feng looked up and looked into the distance. There were three tilted white super-large buildings around the tower, serving as the edges of the triangular pyramids, supporting the giant white tower.

Not counting the white buildings that serve as support, assuming that this building is drilled out from a depth of 1000 meters underground, the energy required will not be less than 10 to the 13th power joules.

"Is there a planetary engine with heavy nuclear fusion propulsion installed underneath?"

Ye Feng smacked his lips.

It is beyond human power, it is so great and majestic!

After sighing, Ye Feng thought of the replica town made by Adam.

Is it the same in other parts of the world?

Are mechanical life forms hollowing out the Earth, only to emerge one day like giant bamboo shoots after rain?

Forget it, I don’t dare to think about it!

If I think about it any further, even Mr. Newton’s coffin will not be able to hold it down.

Uncle Einstein traveled through ten thousand years to slap you.

Following the route I remembered,

Ye Feng jumped into the deep pit and followed the guidance of the auxiliary machine.

Along the cave,

After walking for about a few kilometers, I finally saw a metal gate.

The door opened and Ye Feng saw the handsome man with short white hair - Eve.

Eve smiled sheepishly.

"Please come here."

"Sorry."

Walking inside,

Looking around, it's like a game.

White buildings, white streets,

Spotlessly clean.

These buildings are supposed to be storage units.

Mechanical life forms can move around in these buildings in the form of signals.

This is probably another way of survival for the digital life faction in The Wandering Earth.

These buildings occupy a large amount of space and have a physical appearance, but the mechanical life forms live in the form of data in chips that occupy a very small space.

It's really jaw-dropping.

Such a waste of space and resources.

You know, a tiny chip can simulate an extremely large data space.

Ye Feng passed by shopping malls, factories, office areas, churches, schools and other buildings.

Of course, these are all white without exception.

Finally, Eve led Ye Feng into a door, and the interior was still decorated in white.

Hmm, this place looks like a laboratory.

I opened a door and saw Adam.

At this moment, he is working in front of a computer.

"Adam!"

Adam, who was working, heard the call and looked up to see Ye Feng.

I immediately put down the work in my hands and walked towards him with a smile.

"There you are. My friend."

Adam opened his arms and hugged Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was slightly stunned.

Then he also stretched out his arms to hug Adam and kissed his face twice.

This made Ye Feng feel a chill.

The greetings are over.

"I have found some progress on what you asked me to do. Please come and take a look."

Adam said, pulling Ye Feng to the computer and introducing:

“This is our mechanical life form core, used to provide high-power energy to individuals.

It seems to have plant cell-like tissue inside, and after research, it was found that this tissue came from our creator - aliens. "

"What!?" Ye Feng's jaw dropped.

“Aliens are plants?”

Adam pushed up his black-framed glasses without prescription. "If you hadn't asked me to do this, I wouldn't have conducted the research, and I wouldn't have thought it would be like this. As expected, they are just simple creatures like plants."

"Are they just plants?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.

"Not completely. We only detected plant-like tissues. Essentially, they are still animals and have animal cells."

"I was so scared. I thought the plant had become a spirit." Ye Feng took a breath.

"Of course, this is not the point. Research has found that it is precisely because we inherit this type of tissue that our mechanical life forms, although dependent on machines, can also develop consciousness."

"That's not surprising. No wonder there are so many strange mechanical creatures." Ye Feng replied.

"And here, my friend, comes the point."

"Wait a minute, Adam, I have a question." Ye Feng said.

"Please go ahead." Adam stroked his black-framed glasses and made a gentlemanly gesture.

"How do they provide energy? Is it a perpetual motion machine?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.

Adam chuckled:

“You asked the right person.

This core uses built-in programs and devices to convert specific physical particles into energy through nuclear reactions, and transmits it to the entire body of the mechanical life form in the form of electrical energy.

If you overload and use up your energy, you need to recover slowly, which is less efficient.”

Ye Feng thought for a while and asked, "You mean, it is equivalent to a large-capacity, automatically rechargeable nuclear fusion battery, but the charging efficiency is relatively low."

Hearing Ye Feng's analogy, Adam's eyes rolled and he clapped his hands: "Your analogy is very appropriate, why didn't I think of it. However, the battery capacity can be larger, the heat dissipation can be stronger, and the charging power can be faster."

“Does this thing have nuclear radiation?”

Adam rolled his eyes at Ye Feng and said, "What nonsense! Radiation is also energy, so it cannot be wasted. You can't imagine our methods."

"I understand." Ye Feng smacked his lips.

Adam showed a teachable expression.

“When necessary, the core can undergo a nuclear reaction and detonate.

Without program support, the explosion efficiency is extremely low and may not even trigger a nuclear reaction." Adam continued to explain.

He paused, his expression somewhat solemn:

“In addition, the key point is,

There seems to be another solution here, left behind by aliens.

It seems that it can directly annihilate physical particles, thereby producing more efficient nuclear reactions, but it requires some special particles as reactants or even catalysts.

The principle of this solution is not clear yet, and we are currently unable to replicate it. "

"You idiot! You are so awesome!"

Ye Feng was completely confused.

Although I can't fully understand this technology, I am a warrior and a hacker after all.

Leave technical matters to professionals.

"So, what about Yo-Ye's black box?" Ye Feng asked.

"It's essentially the same as a machine life form core, except that it's more suitable for YoRHa baby's physique."

Adam teased for a moment and continued, "The outer layer of the black box contains a variety of programs. For example, the black box triggers a complete nuclear reaction, controls the operating power program, prohibits the YoRHa androids from having emotions, and requires absolute obedience to humans and superiors, etc."

"But some of Ji Ye still developed emotions." Ye Feng said.
