Chapter 733 Fairy Furnace (12)

Spring is here, and it’s the season of reproduction for all things.

The scene presented in the virtual world of the Great Maze of the South China Sea and the surrounding sea areas is a huge ring-shaped island. The sky is half clear and half cloudy, and the waves are rolling endlessly.

Continuing to look deeper, you can see a huge submarine volcano arching in the blue ocean. Its eruption port protrudes from the sea, which is the "ring island" on the surface. In the center of the ring island, there is a deep cave that leads to the endless depths. At this place, the sea water turned black here, as if there was some extremely dangerous giant lurking in it.

This kind of scenery, in a sense, also metaphors the existence of the 'maze' and the 'hidden danger'.

The virtual land where Ian and the goblins are now is on this ring-shaped island. Hua An has built a small observation base, which can also be regarded as her temporary residence in the South China Sea.

And right in the center of this ring-shaped island, there are two virtual realm machine gods who are breeding offspring.

In other words, a strange kind of 'fusion and division' is going on.

These two machine gods, identified by the silver chip, were named [Dust Remover] and [Incinerator] respectively.

What looks like a constantly rotating electric fan is surrounded by a layer of gray-blue wind that is visible to the naked eye.

The other one looks a bit like a sweeping robot, but what it uses to sweep the floor is not a soft and harmless brush, but a golden-red blazing spiritual fire.

Based on its appearance and name alone, Ian could directly identify it as a 'virtual realm cleaning tool designed by a pre-era civilization' without even having to guess.

Their strength is not very strong, around the middle to high level of the third energy level.

The outermost layers of the two disk-shaped machine gods are constantly spreading out their own blue and red spiritual structures, which are intertwined and linked to each other like thousands of data lines. They are constantly speeding on the sea in the center of the circular island. Rotating, forming a spiral pattern similar to Tai Chi, while two different spiritual qualities intertwined and tumbled, emitting one or two lightning bolts from time to time.

It's obvious that they are joining together...or, in other words, merging.

Ian watched the scene intently.

He saw that the [Dust Remover] and the [Incinerator] were 'decompressing' his solid virtual body through high-speed rotation, and the external manifestation was the whirlpool of spiritual matter that was constantly churning in front of his eyes.

And in the 'decompressed' ectoplasm, there are a large number of extremely complex inscriptions intertwined - most of the virtual realm machine gods are essentially semi-intelligent spiritual beings created out of control by the virtual realm program designed by the civilization of the previous era, and These inscriptions are exactly the 'memetic programs' left behind when the pre-epoch civilization created them.

But now, countless inscriptions are intertwined and information is fused. The two machine gods are exchanging information. Each takes out all their information and data to share with the other, and then merges into one to build a new, more powerful machine god... …

In the center of the virtual sea, the gray and red vortex suddenly moved slightly. Thousands of waves of data suddenly began to converge towards the center of the vortex, and at the core of the vortex, a bright silver light flashed - 'Buzz ' With a soft cry, a silver ball suddenly appeared in the center of the whirlpool.

The moment it appeared, time seemed to pause, and the vortex of data that had been constantly intertwined and merged came to a standstill.

Then, just like a black hole devouring all things, all the spiritual matter decompressed by [Dust Remover] and [Incinerator] were pulled towards themselves by this silver ball, making the originally somewhat illusory thing quickly become almost In order to materialize, it also has a layer of hazy particle light mist like a nebula on its outer layer.

A sound that sounded like a sigh or a cheer sounded, and in an instant, bolts of lightning shot out from the nebula sphere, sweeping across the surrounding virtual realm.

A brand new name appeared in Ian's field of vision.

[Void Realm Machine God·Ulakan the Destroyer]

The young man opened his eyes slightly - because the new Machine God born after the fusion of the two Machine Gods, although its strength is still only around the third level, it has the potential to reach the fourth level!

No, it's more than that!

Ian saw that in addition to the many ectoplasms and inscription data previously extracted by [Destroyer] and [Destroyer], which became the raw materials for the new machine-god [Ulakan the Destroyer], there was still a small part left. , turned into small silver balls, floating next to the other party, there were eight of them, and each one's name was [Seed of Destroyer]!

"The evolution and reproduction of the virtual machine gods turned out to be like this..."

Ian couldn't help but sigh: "Two Mecha-gods that have grown to the limit merge together, and their main body becomes a more powerful new Mecha-god, as well as a varying number of 'new Mecha-god larvae'. As the new Mecha-god larvae grow, When Yamato mutates, there will be a new group of Mecha-gods with different functions in the virtual realm!"

"Is this the mating, growth and reproduction of virtual creatures? It's really interesting and informative!"

Ian was so mesmerized by what he saw that he even recorded the scene from beginning to end with a silver chip.

This is of course not because he likes to watch the virtual realm machine gods multiply, but this process is a great inspiration and help for his inscription skills.

Some time ago, Ian and Adbot have been busy writing new functions for artificial souls, using inscriptions to program in the virtual world... For the current Terran people, this is already a quite huge project, even if With a prophetic researcher like Ian and a genius like Albert, it took a long time to finish writing it.

But in front of the virtual machine god, such inscription procedures are just a trivial matter - after all, the virtual machine god is essentially an 'artificial soul' created by the civilization of the previous era, and the functions of this artificial soul are, The information stored and the complexity of the data are all far superior to artificial souls!

That may be the real pinnacle technology of pre-era civilization.

Even with Ian's current technical level, it is far from being possible to write a soul program in the virtual realm and create a virtual realm machine god by himself, but he can learn it - the two virtual realm machine gods have been fused during the process of fusion. Completely remove your own encapsulation shell and unzip all underlying programs.

Of course, ordinary people cannot capture and remember all the data in the waterfall-like data vortex, but Ian with the silver chip can!

With just one glance, he had directly obtained all the underlying data of [Dust Remover] and [Incinerator] for free!

Unfortunately, when the Nebula Sphere, also known as [Urakan the Destroyer], was born, all of its programs had been encapsulated and black-boxed, so Ian could not see its internal programs.

But this is not important. After all, the technical level of the newly born machine god is too high, and he may not be able to understand Ian's reverse direction.

It's better to be weaker to make it easier to learn.

"but."

After watching this scene, Ian left the observation array with great satisfaction, but he was a little confused: "Is it so simple? The fusion of two third-level machines and gods that have not yet reached the peak of the virtual realm can fuse into a A new machine god with fourth-level potential...is this efficiency too high?"

"Of course it's not that simple."

A clear voice sounded. Hua An held up his little parasol and floated on the side of Ian. He said in a matter-of-fact tone: "The Dust Remover and the Burner are obviously very complementary and have the same abilities." Each machine god, their information data can play a role in solving each other's own problems, and each has accumulated a very large amount of source material, they are not simple third-level machine gods."

"It is precisely because of this that their fusion can create a brand-new new machine god... According to the self-naming method of the virtual realm machine god, the new machine god should be called 'The Destroyer', but I don't know what its core number is. .”

"Actually, the success rate of machine-god fusion is very low. Seven or eight out of a hundred can succeed, which is quite good. This time, Ian, you are lucky, so you can see the birth of a new machine-god, not' With a bang, there was a big explosion in the virtual realm!"

At this moment, Miss Goblin is still looking at the Destroyer in the distance. Her tone is a bit emotional: "In Falling Star City, there is a huge goblin furnace... All the goblins who have had enough of life and do not want to be resurrected will choose to have their memories Throw your soul into the furnace, merge with the souls of other fairies...and give birth to a new fairy."

"I haven't seen the fairy furnace with my own eyes, but I think the operation of the fairy furnace should be very similar to the reproduction process of the virtual realm machine gods... After all, in the civilization of the previous era, we fairies also played a decisive role, and the virtual realm machine gods should They are semi-intelligent beings from the virtual realm created to imitate us fairies.”

"It's just a pity that we fairies have lost too many technologies now, and we have to find them from the virtual machine gods."

Hua An's emotion revealed a lot of information, especially the existence of the fairy furnace.

Although Ian had vaguely heard before that there were many furnaces in Falling Star City, one of which was related to the reincarnation of goblins... but he did not know that the function of goblin furnaces was actually like this.

The goblin who has had enough life throws himself into death and becomes the raw material for the birth of a new goblin...

On the contrary, he really has the free and easy style of a fairy.

As for the rest, it's purely normal.

As both spiritual beings, living in the virtual realm, the machine god and the goblin are inextricably linked.

The reason why the goblins keep sending goblin scholars to observe the Mecha-gods all over the world is to try to obtain the goblin-related technology and information that the Mecha-gods may contain.

Hua An's original mission was to observe the goblin lair in the big maze. This mission has been completed. Even with the help of Frost Butterfly, he successfully integrated all the original goblins in the lair, laying a solid foundation for Le Tu Township to build a new branch here. Base.

Although the method is a bit strange, at least these primitive fairies are obedient.

It was precisely because he finished the work at hand that Hua An had time to observe the virtual world.

As a result, she and Ian happened to encounter the rare scene of the birth and reproduction of a new machine god.
