Chapter 538: Block Assembly
?Online reading in pure text, please visit
"This... seems to be almost finished."
The hazy sky, the white earth, the air is filled with countless powders at any time, this is a world of fungi.
Ever since he was caught by the fungal beetle, the Atlan has been in one place, a vast, vast flat.
The floor here is also covered by a fungal carpet, but it is much thinner than elsewhere, and there are no fungal structures such as giant umbrella mushrooms growing around this generation, and most importantly, it can be heard constantly in this place. An echoing mechanical roar.
A large number of the same kind are moving in front of it, and they all drive some mechanical devices, and use these mechanical devices to carry many things.
These things were all carried to the center of the clearing, and these things were continually assembled into one giant... cube.
The Atlans quickly operated the machinery, and the huge lifting machinery hoisted the various things they transported beside the blocks, and then transported these things to the unfinished blocks for assembly.
They all seem to be working enthusiastically, but if you look closely, you can see that these Atlans are blind and have no emotions, as if they are in a very 'trance' state.
There is only one Atlan, who has normal emotions, watching its kind of work.
It's also the only Atlan that doesn't work, all it's doing here is commanding its kind, and commanding is an easy thing to do.
"Hey, something fell there!" Atlan called out to a fellow in the distance, who dropped the thing in his hand on the ground while carrying the thing. And it continued walking unknowingly.
The job of this Atlan is to correct their behavior. Just say after. That same kind will pick up the thing and continue walking.
This seems to be the effect of a fungal infection. Although these Atlans have basically kept their brains and bodies intact, there are occasional strange actions, such as just now, or driving a machine into other places, etc... …
Its command is to correct these behaviors, and it is also responsible for observing that most of the parts inside that block are in the right place.
It's holding a 'blueprint' of a cube in its hands, and the blueprint looks simple and easy to understand, at least for it. So those Atlan misplaced parts it's easy to spot.
"It's done very well." At this time, a beetle appeared beside Atlan and said, "Soon, we can achieve our goal."
"Your goal...what is it?"
Atlan has been with these fungus beetles for a long time, but they rarely communicate, and occasionally the beetles will come to observe, usually they are not seen.
Atlan has tried to escape while they are not there, or escaped with his companions, but he found that his companions would ignore his escape instructions, and he could not escape by himself.
The beetle didn't specifically catch it, but it left here every time. After running into the fungal woodland for a turn, it always came back to the same place, and it found that it could not leave at all. So for now, we have to complete the tasks of these beetles first to see...
The beetle did not answer, but crawled away.
Atlan glanced at the beetle and had no choice but to continue his command work.
It would be nice to say that after completing this task, it and the other Atlans would be able to return to their normal lives, but it always felt that this was not the case.
The completion of the block... is still 10% worse.
...... And just like that, several days and nights passed.
"All right,
That's the last piece! "
It was as if he was piecing together something called 'building blocks', and the last block part was also placed on it, and now the whole block was perfectly displayed in front of Atlan's eyes.
And its companions who were responsible for helping with the construction were also tired and all sat or slept directly on the ground to rest.
It's just that their expressions are still in a trance, and they don't seem to have any recovery.
"Very good... it's done." Just as Atlan thought, the beetle appeared next to it again, and the beetle said to Atlan: "With this, we can achieve..."
"I've heard you say this many times." Atlan interrupted the beetle and said, "What are you going to do? What should we do next?"
"Activate it, of course." Beetle replied to Atlan's next words: "Activate it and take us away."
"How to start?"
Although Atlan has pieced together this thing, he doesn't know which part in the block represents which function, and he doesn't even know how to open it. Of course, there is no such thing as a cockpit in the block.
Originally, this is the technology of the brain spirit. The activation mechanism of the brain spirit is completely different from that of ordinary creatures. The dense structure inside can hardly hold superfluous things, and all the parts are ready-made. What the Atlans do is to put It is assembled, and there is no process of making the parts.
"You don't know..." Beetle suddenly said a strange tone: "Why don't you know?"
"I...of course I don't know." Atlan said, "This is not our technology."
"You don't know..." The beetle continued as if he was talking to himself: "I don't know..."
Saying that, it ran away quickly and quickly.
"What the hell is it doing?" Atlan felt very strange. He thought it was enough to assemble these machines, but it seemed that the beetle wanted it to control the block.
"We have to finish that thing!"
Suddenly, the beetle ran over again from a long distance, and it looked like it was carrying something.
"What's this?" Atlan noticed that the beetle was carrying a white board, and the beetle threw the board to the ground and jabbed it a few times with its limbs.
A picture suddenly appeared on the whiteboard, and a blurred scene could be seen in the picture, as if the place in the picture was also covered by a lot of dust.
"We're going to this place," said the beetle. "Just get to this place."
"But now I don't know how to start it." Atlan said: "Since you can find the design drawings, you should also find the operation manual or something."
Having said that, Atlan felt that the Brain Spirit's machine would not have an operation manual, but the source of this design drawing was indeed quite strange.
Logically speaking, it is impossible.
"You have to learn to start..."
Before the beetle could finish speaking, it suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
Atlan followed him to the sky, as if there was something there, but he saw nothing.
But the beetle said: "Something is coming..." (To be continued..)
