Chapter 260 Acid Storm

On the way to Mingge Mountain, acid rain began to fall. It is not an exaggeration to call it a huge acid storm. It was very low, reminiscent of an apocalyptic situation, and thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, adding to the frightening atmosphere.

"Is it necessary to bring Pan Ruiyi?" Xu Yang observed all these complicated scenes.

"She is the witch in the oath, the first knight." Faroza said, "I can't do without her role, she is almost the cornerstone of the ceremony."

Xu Yang piloted the Anonymous. It was like a black crow flying through the air. It was difficult to see its track at a distance. It swept across the sky without making a sound. Facing the approaching meteorological disaster, he lowered the altitude of the shuttle in time, found the nearest market town, booked a room, and stayed in a family hotel.

He left the Anonymous in the parking lot outside the hotel, drove it under the dark gray canopy, and then helped Falosa down, next to a few dirty and cheap electric cars, near the exit of the parking lot There is also a white aluminum van.

As soon as Xu Yang entered the hotel, a young man stood up from behind the counter and greeted them with a smile. They are obviously not regular passengers, both Xu Yang and Faroza are wearing thick camouflage, but it is impossible to be picky about the guests' luggage these days.

Next to the man was a monkey wearing a red nylon fiber space suit. Faroza didn't like monkeys, but it looked polite. Standing on the counter, it pretended to bow to Faroza and Xu Yang respectively, but because of Falosa had a dangerous aura on her body, the monkey didn't dare to get close at all, it shrank back and jumped behind the counter.

"I want to make it smarter, and implant it with a human brain prosthesis." The man looked at the monkey, and then took out a black plastic room card from the counter and handed it to them, "Can you help me pick it up?" ?gentlemen?"

"Thank you, we don't have much luggage." Xu Yang nodded to him and the monkey, and declined the extra help.

He carried a large suitcase into the reserved room, followed by Farosa. Almost the moment they crossed the threshold, the acid rain storm started, and the sound of howling rain sounded densely, like a heavy metal band with tens of millions of people. If exposed to such heavy rain, the skin would be ablated soon .

Xu Yang turned on the automatic coffee machine, filled it with coffee powder from the hotel, started it, then walked to the window and cast his eyes on the rolling hills in the distance.

Mingge Mountain can already be seen here, which is their destination. Most of the mountain has been eroded by acid rain, and large areas of plants are necrotic. Since the trees are destroyed, mudslides and landslides are inevitable. The interaction between the two , and exacerbated the degree of soil and water degradation. It seems that a huge shovel has dug all the green along the slope, leaving only mottled brown mountains.

The environment is not livable, and people have to relocate to relatively stable towns and cities. Local residents do not have enough funds to manage the environment, and they have no influence at all to shut down heavy industries that continue to damage the environment. Various factories and company assets have penetrated into the area around Nakayama like nails, and only Tono Sakura Shrine, which is enshrined by Kirino Reise, remains unaffected.

Xu Yang checked the camera and bugs in the room, as well as all the electronic equipment provided in advance, and changed to Faroza to stand by the window.

"The world is ruined," she said.

"Is there any hope of recovery?" Xu Yang thought.

"The Lord of the Forest." Faroza looked at the destroyed greenery, and the outside world was shrouded in endless acidic clouds. "If you bring the Lord of the Forest back, it can re-cover the islands with green."

"According to the law of material conservation and equivalent exchange," Xu Yang speculated, "it should also ask for something."

"Of course, it needs followers, and people need to turn into tree monsters to support its eternal green." Falosa chuckled, thinking about Nohara Masato again.

"That's not a problem," Xu Yang nodded. "If you can bring the Lord of the Forest, enthusiastic animal protection organizations and environmental protection associations from all over the world will also come here."

After checking the equipment, Faroza found a comfortable position to lie down, turned on the smart screen wall in the room, and the entire wall screen changed color, reflecting the scene of the dome battle ceremony.

"I don't think it's one-tenth of a millionth as good as the Witch Fighting Conference." Falosa said, "Why don't we gather all the beautiful witches together for a fight?"

"It's a matter of acceptance." Xu Yang thought for a while, "Witch fighting just sounds interesting. Once they are beaten with bruised noses and faces, or chopped into pieces, the scene will be ugly. Relatively speaking, robots are full of beatings." Ground parts, sparks all over, everyone is more bearable."

"We have to talk to our gladiators." Farosha saw that the match between A40 and Black Storm was not far away.

Xu Yang entered the covert communication mode and contacted A40. It had already arrived at the arena and was making final preparations before the battle. Xu Yang transferred the video signal to the curtain wall so that Farosa could see it. On the double bed covered with white sheets, the A40 felt to her like a metal golem that wizards would build, but smarter.

Faroza's attitude towards synthetic human technology is very contradictory. On the one hand, she needs these carefully programmed servants, and on the other hand, she thinks their intelligence is too high. The first and second generation synthetics are still within the range she can accept. The third generation of synthetics like A40 and Miying, which can continuously learn and evolve, are somewhat inadequate. Even the smart monkey raised by the owner of the hotel is more pleasing to the eye than synthetic humans.

"How are you preparing?" Xu Yang observed A40.

From the appearance, this is still a low-key youth image, with precision machinery installed all over his body, instead of wearing the previous ronin jacket, he changed into a light vest made of Kevlar material, which improves the protection and at the same time packs as lightly as possible .

"In terms of martial arts," A40 said, "I have reached the first-rate level, but I haven't completed all aspects of practice, so I can't be called a master. Compared with the real masters who have entered the hall and have perfect skills, I am even weaker... ...but I will do my best."

"I believe in you." Xu Yang nodded, "You haven't let us down yet."

"There is something I want you to see." A40 sent a picture.

Xu Yang opened it, and it turned out to be a black and white pixel picture, like a highly distorted camera, drawing the appearance of a wasp smiling back, it was drawn from the perspective of A40, so you can see how she is holding A40's hand, How turned his head and smiled excitedly, holding an ice cream in the other hand.

"This is..." Xu Yang couldn't see the clue.

"I have an electronic dream." A40 said, "If the dream of human beings is the chaotic information reorganization in the subconscious, my dream is the distorted presentation of disk fragments. I deleted some things, but I can't delete them. , but who is this?"

"I'll tell you when you win and advance to the top 16." Xu Yang nodded.

A40 solemnly fell on the ground, and bowed deeply to Xu Yang.

"Thank you for giving me such an opportunity," it said, "for giving me a chance to prove myself, a chance to fight to my heart's content. During this time, my martial arts attainments have improved rapidly, more than ever before. All quickly. If synthetic humans have the same destiny as humans, then the Dome Battle Festival is indeed my destiny! I will do my best to win the championship, and this matter is duty-bound."

"Go." Xu Yang saw that it was almost time.

He switched back to the Dome event, the last match had ended, and the match between A40 and Black Storm started immediately. After updating the advertisement, the manufacturer of Black Storm, "West Wind Industry", officially publicized their latest alloy patent. It is called "Magic Steel", and it adopts the latest generation of smelting technology. It is made of magic steel shaped by magic power, which has a fatal cutting effect on any form of armor, which is why the black storm can easily crush the female knight wearing keel armor in the last round.

The black storm rolls onto the field in the form of a mechanical ball. It looks like a spinning top standing on one foot. It has 12 arms. The "magic steel" blade is mounted on each arm. When it rotates slightly, the blade reflects The light from different angles is really dazzling.

A40 entered the arena with the promotional video of Tanaka Smart Company. He put his hand on the blade of the anger, pointing forward with the tip of the knife, retracting his elbows, stepping forward and backward, making a defensive posture.

"Cold weapons can only be used, long-range means are not allowed, there are no other rules," the electronic referee in the hall introduced neatly, and then he swung his knife vigorously, "Let's fight!"

Falosa sat up, holding a cup of coffee, staring at every detail of the battle. She felt that she really became a nobleman of the ancient Latium Empire, watching the gladiators go to shed blood.

"We must win!"

"For our money!"

"Come on! Come on!" In the live broadcast room, tens of thousands of viewers who lost a lot of money in the last bet, out of a strong desire for revenge, stood on the side of A40 at this time, and many of them gave away their last net worth. Throwing on the A40 and expecting it to snap the win and get them back the money. As long as A40 wins, they will immediately become loyal fans of A40.

"A40 will win." Ye Zi confidently said to other female companions and family members in the VIP box.

"A40..." In the distant Bibo City, Hornet stared at the screen and held her breath. If A40 wins and wins the championship all the way, she will undoubtedly regain her enthusiasm for life and find her place in this crazy world .

Various high-tech companies in Taixizhou and many research institutes in Kyoto Unlimited are now also focusing on this high-level robot duel. The winning side represents the future development direction of combat robots, and also means more advanced. Science and production technology.

- Let's go to war!

The black storm turns all its mechanical arms, turning into a high-speed whirlwind of death, cutting towards A40 swiftly, making ear-piercing buzzing sounds on the moving road. Its body operates extremely fast and makes complex movements. It was supposed to self-disintegrate during high-speed travel, but every part of the black storm has been precisely fitted, leaving no flaws, and providing extremely high stability.

Facing its unstoppable impact, A40 leaped forward and swung it out quickly! Actively choose to fight!
