Chapter 2398: The Mechanical Past

These machines...their purpose is not just to survive.

They have another purpose, which is... revenge on the Phoenix.

This may be because as the machines absorbed the biodust, they acquired some of the ideas of the intelligent beings that once lived on this moon.

These intelligent creatures still have great hatred for the Phoenix which abandoned them after the transformation failed.

So, while the machines here are producing large amounts of biological dust, they are also constantly researching various weapons.

This is because if the phoenix comes here again one day... we will kill them all.

The way they research weapons is mainly done by the creatures in this area.

Because most of the creatures on this satellite have amazing abilities.

For example, some species can emit high-temperature light, while others can produce strong explosive effects.

These organisms are all in a 'slow' state, so it is very easy to study them.

So based on the various biological forms in the world, the machines here produced...the various weapons that Lin sees now.

These weapons can intercept the resident balls launched here by Phoenix...only the one controlled by Lin flew in and was not intercepted.

I don’t know why, but it is also because of this... that Lin now knows their various situations.

These machines have no concept of "hiding". If you randomly pick up a young machine here, you can detect the general history of this world from it.

However, the information loaded on each machine is different, some have more, some have less, but no matter how small the machine is... they all carry general historical information.

In general, Lin has a general understanding of the history of this satellite.

At present, Lin has learned about two satellites, and there is only one left... It seems that there is no need to understand it.

Because the species on the last one may have been completely extinct. There are no living creatures on it. It is just a pure... wasteland.

This gas star is not surrounded by only these three objects, but the others are all smaller than 100 kilometers in diameter, and there seems to be nothing special on them.

So after understanding the situation in these places, Lin decided... there seemed to be nothing special to do, just continue to observe here.

Now, on the mechanical satellite, Lin's ball of fluff is doing some...interesting tasks with the Phoenix.

That is, after learning about the situation of the mechanical satellite, the Phoenix decided to... destroy this world.

"I will pour all my power into the core of this satellite, and it will be completely reduced to dust in the void!"

After saying such "grand words", Lin's ball of fluff moved towards the "core" of the world with it.

Lin had previously learned from the mechanical larvae wandering around that the core of this place was a huge machine.

This machine was one of the first machines built by the former 'Savior'.

No one knows how long it has lived until now, and no one knows how much biological dust it has eaten.

Just like the dragon fruit that keeps absorbing energy and becoming stronger, this machine keeps eating biological dust and becoming more and more...smarter.

To be precise, the complexity of their 'thinking system' will continue to increase due to the analysis of biological dust.

It is not known whether there is an upper limit to this improvement, but this machine that has eaten countless dust has obviously become very powerful.

It rules this satellite, and its location... is the core of this world.

Phoenix decided to go there and destroy it.

Of course it's not just about destroying it, that would be ungentlemanly, Phoenix said.

What Phoenix needs to do is to destroy the core machinery and the satellite together.

Although Lin felt that its statement was just like the casual talk of the Phoenixes when they said they wanted to push the Tumbler.

However, Lin was still somewhat interested in what it would do, so she decided to follow it and observe.

Now, the 'sewer' that Lin and Fenghuang are walking on leads to the location of the core machinery.

In fact, this is not a sewer, but a 'cub living passage'.

All the dust produced by the dust factories on the ground will flow into the intricate channels beneath the surface.

The offspring produced by the machines will also be placed in the passages to grow up, and they mainly feed on the flowing dust.

Because it takes a lot of time to analyze the dust that is ingested, the cubs spend a long time in underground passages.

They will leave here only after they have eaten enough dust and grown to a certain size.

These underground tunnels have no defensive measures.

Maybe it’s because they have hardly ever fought wars on the surface... most of the weapons made by machines... are designed to strike targets in the void.

Because their records clearly stated that the Phoenix's resident ball flew from the void.

Therefore, they have been developing weapons with the goal of attacking targets in the void.

The result is that Lin and Phoenix can move smoothly here.

Of course, if they encounter some machines with fully developed intelligence, they will still be attacked.

But there are almost all cubs here.

"We seem to have arrived at a very important place. Should we start destroying it from here?"

At this time, Lin's pompom and phoenix stopped... because they came to a very large space.

This seems to be a dust gathering point in the underground tunnel.

In front of Lin there was a big...pit.

There are numerous dust rivers on all sides pushing dust into the pit.

This makes the entire pit look like a huge...dust lake.

But no matter how hard you pile it up, it’s never full. Apparently there’s a function at the bottom that lets the dust escape.

And around this huge dust lake, there are many mechanical cubs wandering around.

They usually appear to be wandering around aimlessly, but in fact they are analyzing the dust they eat.

Once the analysis is complete, they eat dust again and continue wandering... and this continues until they reach adulthood.

"I will start the destruction from here, and these creatures should feel my wrath!"

Looking at the dust lake and the small machines gathered around it, Phoenix seemed to become very excited and... rushed forward.

It spread its wings and flew to the center of the Dust Lake, then flapped its wings violently...

'call!'

A powerful 'airflow' suddenly burst out from under its wings.

There's actually no air here, so this isn't airflow either.

But the effect was similar to that of airflow. A large amount of dust and surrounding machinery were blown away, some fell into the dust river, and some hit the ground.
