Chapter 389: 182 Moment of Decision

"Boss, we’re about to enter the area where Intelligent Mechanic Dusk is located."

Yang Ming responded with a cup of coffee in hand, and said slowly, "Report all the plans again."

"Okay, boss."

Lyu’s holographic projection appeared beside him, properly holding a notepad, and quickly spoke about their preparations.

Yang Ming listened intently with his coffee in hand.

They were going to disappear for three months, unable to directly contact the outside world within the Intelligent Mechanic Dusk area. If any enemies disrupted the Wind, it would catch Yang Ming off guard.

This was roughly the risk that needed to be undertaken to accept the fruits of the advanced civilization legacy of Intelligent Mechanic Dusk.

The Luofeng Empire had already activated its emergency monitoring mechanism.

Lyu’s second body would operate independently, making judgments that aligned with their interests. If any emergencies arose, it would coordinate itself.

Should the Valkyrie be detected in Sherman Empire territory, it would be immediately marked and continuously tracked.

Additional guards had been assigned to Edwan’s location. With the prior experience of Edwan’s father, Yang Ming was always very concerned about Edwan’s safety.

Neither Edwan nor his sister Emilia would leave the range of the Ilando Star Imperial Palace’s main cannon in the coming three months.

Lyu’s voice paused.

Yang Ming carefully considered whether there were any overlooked areas.

Kolev had Mimili guarding him, and Mimili’s strength was already quite impressive among ordinary humans.

Although 026 couldn’t handle situations independently now, she had temporary authority to mobilize the Dark Star Mechanical Army and could also serve as Lyu’s assistant for emergencies.

"There should be no problem."

Yang Ming exhaled lightly and said, "Let’s go in."

The bloated fish-like warship slowly entered the neat dust belt.

The sound of slight collisions appeared again as the ship slowed down as much as possible, gradually approaching the center point.

There were no detections,

no interrogations.

After they reached the designated position, a beam swept over them, and Yang Ming along with the ship vanished into thin air.

Space didn’t even ripple.

Still, Yang Ming lost his perception for a few seconds, and by the time he regained his sight, he was already among the cold, gray, twilight-filled buildings.

Lyu continued conducting safety checks.

The three presiding old Mechanical Thought Bodies here always conducted meticulous inspections of the Mechanical Thought Bodies; for life forms like Yang Ming, a quick glance sufficed.

The Patroller, Examiner, and Tomb Guardian’s combined figure appeared behind Yang Ming and said slowly, "Is this about helping you refit the ship?"

"Yes," Yang Ming immediately turned around with a sincere smile, "Can I make a small request this time?"

The Examiner smiled and said, "Go ahead, we’ll try our best to accommodate you."

"Increase the main cannon’s power," Yang Ming gestured, "as big as possible, and ideally add a system for eliminating individuals, something like a point defense gun with individual targeting capabilities."

The figure of the old Mechanical Thought Body split into three.

They looked at Yang Ming with incomprehension.

The Examiner asked, "Did your superior life form put so much pressure on you?"

"Yes," Yang Ming honestly nodded, "she has started hunting the Insect Race to boost herself, possibly awakening all sorts of odd abilities. I have no genetic advantage over her, so I can only compensate elsewhere."

He paused, then said gravely, "I really want to survive to inherit this civilization."

The Patroller rubbed his chin and pondered, "In their plan, you’re actually an unexpected outcome. They wanted to test whether they could cultivate a new warrior."

Yang Ming raised an eyebrow, but the erudite Patroller did not continue.

Were they referring to the Kigrov team?

Or perhaps other hidden forces?

Could it even be the Faya Civilization?

Yang Ming was unsure, as the Tomb Guardian had already moved past the topic.

"We’ll try our best to help you," stated the Tomb Guardian, "but we can’t make too many promises. You know our principle, we can’t directly affect the ecology of the Milky Way’s civilizations, we’re just observers."

Examiner: "Refitting your ship can only focus on protecting you."

Patroller: "Indeed, we must adhere to the principles of protection."

Yang Ming thought carefully, not sure if a neuron short-circuited or if he was inspired, and stated firmly,

"In my understanding of tactics, the best defense is a good offense."

The three old Mechanical Thought Bodies were momentarily stunned.

They seemed to adjust their respective logical supports.

"Makes sense," the Tomb Guardian said, squinting.

Examiner said, "All right, esteemed Secondary Ancient God Life Form, next you need to enter the building ahead and immerse yourself in the Prophet’s Water. We will let knowledge irrigate your brain."

The Patroller smiled and said, "Don’t worry, you just need to understand and grasp some basic knowledge. You can also choose to study some arts, as every excellent leader should understand a bit of art."

The Tomb Guardian sighed, "Your knowledge should be able to match the civilization you’ll lead in the future."

"Don’t worry," the Patroller smiled, "Lyu will bear the comprehensive technology required for developing civilizations, not you. That’s Lyu’s purpose."

Yang Ming raised an eyebrow at this and asked, "Does this mean every examiner has a Mechanical Thought Body companion?"

The three old mechanics simultaneously fell silent.

The Examiner smiled and said,

"All right, you should choose the direction you want to inherit.

"I need to explain that our civilization inheritance is divided into two parts.

"The first part is the basics; no matter which direction you choose, you’ll have the foundational theories and normal technological applications necessary for building a first-level civilization and advancing it to a second-level civilization."
