Chapter 96: Dreamscape: Reverse Engineering Success

Du Qiu felt it was just not satisfying enough.

The time only lasted a minute or two, and due to the limitations of the observation method, he could only see a bright spot besides the huge warship right before his eyes.

With this thought, Du Qiu quickly mobilized the perception system and carefully observed the battleship that was close at hand.

The entire battleship was divided into six segments, each segment was rectangular, but there was a giant ring on the bow segment of the ship, as if it were fitted on top of the bow segment.

The battleship’s surface shone with a dark cyan metallic luster, similar to the material used in the Steel Jungle.

Obviously, this kind of metal material could be used in the construction of warships.

Du Qiu’s heart suddenly grew hot with the thought, wondering if he could obtain the production method for this material by reverse engineering control over those three high-level super machines.

At this moment, Du Qiu suddenly noticed from one of the screens that the Steel Jungle three kilometers away had turned into three pyramids!

Pyramids!

A flash of inspiration struck him, and Du Qiu felt he understood something.

He then saw the super machine producer he was in, also in the shape of a pyramid.

Except it had a silver-white metallic luster, seeming different from the other three.

Du Qiu once again had this feeling.

Wait, could it be that the producer was a trophy captured by an alien civilization, and it originally belonged to another alien civilization?

Therefore, its original civilization called it a seed, and only later did the maintainers rename it to producer and restrict its level.

Thinking this way seemed quite reasonable to Du Qiu.

Otherwise, there would be no explanation for their identical shapes but different colors, and the fact that the names had been changed before.

Despite being a strong AI, it was limited to the lowest level and used like a weak AI.

What kind of civilizations were these two alien civilizations, and why did they go to war?

Hey, the super machines and maintainers have identical forms; could this be a civil war of a certain alien civilization?

After all, if they were from different civilizations, the shapes of their artifacts would definitely be different.

Du Qiu thought for a while and wanted to continue observing the space battleship when he saw a dazzling light suddenly illuminate its tail.

Then, its huge body, as light as a leaf, disappeared rapidly from the perception range of the super machine.

If this was real life, Du Qiu’s mouth would certainly be wide open.

Such a rapid acceleration, do high-level civilizations really have the luxury to act so capriciously?

Their life support systems and load-bearing capabilities must be incredibly strong to offset the massive loads produced by such acceleration.

Otherwise, the intelligent alien lives inside the warship would certainly not be able to withstand it.

After zoning out for a bit, Du Qiu looked back at the perception system and noticed another screen.

The super battleship was so attention-grabbing that Du Qiu had completely failed to notice the scenery of the surrounding environment of the super machine until now.

At this moment, he could describe the scene in the screen with four words.

It was “devastation everywhere”!

To the north of the super machine, a massive chasm had appeared.

To the west, there were huge pit-like structures with exceedingly smooth walls, clearly cut out directly.

In the south, a volcano was erupting!

And to the east, the Steel Jungle had now transformed into three pyramids with a dark cyan metallic sheen.

However, Du Qiu suddenly noticed that one side of the rightmost pyramid seemed damaged, and by that side’s nearby ground, there was also a pit.

Clearly, the small bright point attacking at the beginning must have succeeded in its sneak attack, causing significant damage to the resource planet.

The activation of a planet’s volcanoes from such an attack indicated its sharpness.

No wonder Du Qiu had been able to feel the ground trembling through the perception system continuously, which obviously triggered a series of relentless earthquakes.

If such a scenario occurred on Earth, it would likely be the end of humanity.

Could a sneak attack from a single warship really cause such significant damage to a planet? Perhaps high-level civilizations could indeed easily annihilate planets.

After all, the super machine where Du Qiu arrived was just one point on the planet. It was uncertain whether there was just one attacking warship, or whether there were many launching an attack together.

From Du Qiu’s perspective, it was impossible to grasp the full situation.

He quickly self-checked and luckily, the super machine was not damaged, but it had already turned into a pyramid shape for transport.

Could it be that this alien civilization, after suffering an attack, was forced to abandon this resource planet and retreat en masse?

As Du Qiu thought this, he checked the other three pyramids again.

Suddenly, he was stunned.

Holy crap, such a huge robot!

In the perception screen, a massive robot walked out from the left pyramid to the damaged area of the right pyramid.

Du Qiu had already matched them earlier; the left one should be the maintainer and the right one the processor.

The robot turned out to be humanoid, which could imply that the intelligent life of this alien civilization is also humanoid.

It stood five or six meters tall, its head a multifaceted cylindrical body, but the face did not have features like human beings do.

Watching the screen, Du Qiu could not tell if it had visual organs.

Thinking of the super-magnetic imaging perception subsystem, perhaps this humanoid robot does not need visual organs like humans.

At this time, he saw it extend its right hand, and Du Qiu noticed that the huge palm had fingers.

But unlike the people of Blue Star, it had six fingers.

At that moment, the six metallic fingers flexibly touched the damaged part of the right pyramid.

Then, a miraculous scene occurred.

The damaged part of the pyramid, which had broken off a block from top to bottom, seem to come to life, visibly wriggling and changing at a pace detectable by the naked eye.

Du Qiu instantly understood—this was nanorepair technology!

The humanoid robot released nanobots at the damaged site, possibly numbering in the billions.

And they kept growing, using themselves to repair the broken pyramid.

Liquid seemed to flow continuously from the fingers of the humanoid robot, and its left hand was pulling a dark cyan metallic cube from the left pyramid.

Casually, it threw the cube onto the damaged site, followed by the metal cube melting as if it dissolved and then merging into one with the damaged area.

Du Qiu’s eyes were wide open; if he could learn this technology, it would be so useful.

He immediately checked the intelligent core of the super machine and saw that one of the three external white vortices, the one with the gray edge, was flickering on and off.

The damaged super machine was actually the processor that he could apply for access to through reverse engineering.

This flickering white vortex—could it be that the damaged part was exactly the network connection module area?

The flickering, could it mean the network was intermittently cutting out?

Watching the flickering white vortex, Du Qiu gritted his teeth and focused his consciousness on it.

“Do you confirm the submission of the application information?”

As expected, the message appeared again.

Du Qiu didn’t hesitate, directly choosing to submit with his mind.

Then, there was no response.

Anxiously waiting for a while, just as he was about to concentrate his mind and forcefully traverse through, a message arrived.

“Network interruption. Information cannot be verified. Would you like to override with default permission?”

Haha, the gamble paid off.

Du Qiu immediately confirmed with his mind.

No matter what the default permission was, Du Qiu just wanted to go and see if he could seize and descend on the processor.

Just like traversing the internal white vortex, Du Qiu instantly arrived in a place similar to the intelligent core of the super machine.

The reverse engineering transit was a success!

Here, there was a space that was slightly smaller than the super machine, filled with dazzling stars, which also had corresponding white vortices; it seemed there was no difference from the super machine.

Looking at only a few white vortices that were lit, it was clear that, similar to the producer side, most functions were shut down during the transport state.

Du Qiu quickly perceived all the stars comprehensively, and sure enough, that feeling of occupation once again surged in his consciousness.

This place belonged to him!
