Chapter 636 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] Eighty-five: Chen Yan’s Moving Castle

The meteor that turned into a wave of consciousness fell into the starry sky, and soon another meteor streaked across the night sky of Yharnam City, gradually losing its light before falling into the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street.

Immediately afterwards, with a moderate shaking, the first-generation mining machine unfolded underground - with the "Nautilus Shell" as the center, various parts of the first-generation mining machine fell apart in a regular process and unique posture.

While witnessing this miraculous change, Chen Yan looked at the vast starry sky over Yanan City, felt the feeling coming from synaesthesia, and had his own understanding of "Modular Prayer" in his mind——

‘The first generation of mining machines changed due to the starlight coming from the starry sky...

According to the feeling in synaesthesia, I can actually understand that the process of "Modular Prayer" is equivalent to letting a device with the control authority of an arthropod otter pass through [Star Sea], a special local area network that is not limited by physical space.

Send a request command to a [host] of the Arthropod Otter Civilization.

If the permission verification is successful, the command will be passed and feedback will be obtained - the feedback is the meteor falling in the apartment, which is also a command to start praying.

My thoughts may not be accurate...but judging from the information perceived through synaesthesia, this is probably the case.

Anyway, arthropod otters... they have unique communication technology.’

The nearly three-story-tall first-generation mining machine disintegrated into functional parts connected end to end in the blink of an eye. These parts cut the foundation of the 33 Walker Street apartment in a more "soft" manner.

They burrow into the wall like molluscs, "parasitize" in every corner of the apartment wall through the gaps between pipes and masonry, and attack pots and dishes in the hall, kitchen and guest room without being overbearing.

Everything including the ladle basin has been digitally embedded.

In the process, they produced secretions that stabilized the walls of the apartment. These corrosive substances had a wonderful chemical reaction with the calcium carbonate in the walls of the apartment, so that the material of the entire apartment became another material.

Plant something.

Further down in the basement, the nautilus shell resides.

Only now did Chen Yan fully understand that this thing looked like a snail shell on the outside, but the inside was not flesh and blood, but some kind of sponge-like biomass. It was indeed something that could store, transmit and transmit electricity.

Device for converting and outputting kinetic energy——

If it meets these characteristics, it can already be called an "engine".

'It's...the engine of the arthropod otter civilization...I don't know how much horsepower it has at its maximum.'

The biomass engine was obviously more outrageous than Chen Yan imagined - after the nautilus shell moved to the lower level of the basement, its shape changed and became larger and flatter.

After a while, the part where the apartment body was in contact with the ground was covered with "extended" nautilus shells, and the entire apartment was completely located on the nautilus shell.

Even with such a large movement, the movement around the apartment walls was still not obvious.

When the apartment body becomes loose, it means that the apartment is cutting and separating itself from the ground.

The entire apartment is separated from the surface and becomes an independent entity.

During the entire process, the quantum clone's transparent head quickly constructed a digital model of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street. This model was built quite accurately and scaled down everything in the apartment almost without deviation.

'What has become of the apartment? Something... living?'

The data displayed by the digitized model in the quantum clone's head told Chen Yan that with the Nautilus shell, as long as sufficient energy is supplied, the apartment can not only move on the surface, but can even fly and enter the water.

Chen Yan understood from this that the so-called "modularization" is to separate something from its original environment and make it "free".

'Sufficient energy...the pure ore of the Snake Rock can do the job, but I don't know how long the remaining pure ore can supply the Nautilus Shell engine.

The digital model shows that it has the function of energy collection, but these energy lists are all substances that I have never seen before. I don’t know if the energy on this planet—coal, oil, natural gas, etc.—can be converted into power by the engine.

'

Chen Yan turned to look at the giant drilling rig from which the first-generation mining rig was separated——

The behemoth is now folded in the chimney inside the apartment.

It's hard to imagine that such a determined behemoth could be folded to this extent.

According to the digital model, the giant drilling rig can leave the chimney at any time and become the new roof of the apartment with offensive and defensive capabilities.

Chen Yan looked at the unfolded model of the roof of the drilling rig and fell silent.

The entire model is roughly in the shape of a cone, with a base area of ​​about 180 square meters, but the height of the cone is actually 31 meters - higher than the entire apartment!

The cone is in the shape of a thread, with barbs and pulverizers distributed on the threads, which can obviously be used to mine minerals from hard rock formations.

An idea suddenly flashed through Chen Yan's head:

‘If you use this kind of thread drill bit to drill the floor of Yanan City Public Prison, I’m afraid it will break in one go.’

He was silent for a moment and looked again at the digital model of the apartment in the quantum clone's mind.

In addition to the annotation information about the roof of the drilling rig, the data model also annotates the chimney:

Although the chimney seen in the apartment and the chimney accessible from the roof of the apartment are the same, the spaces inside are different - in the model, the chimney seen in the apartment is marked blue, and the chimney accessible from the roof of the apartment is marked blue.

The chimneys in [Wilderness] are marked red.

Chen Yan looked at the chimney on the roof of the apartment building in the digital model, and immediately saw an area with a black halo underneath the chimney.

'The entrance to [Wilderness] appears as a black halo in the model.'

In the digital model, where the basement of the apartment is now, stood his tenants. They were obviously panicked and didn't know what was going on, but they were still calm.

'Ogami could feel the murderous intention. He must have told everyone the fact that the murderous intention did not appear, so everyone was not panicked, but they just didn't know what happened.'

After sensing all this, Chen Yan looked at the sea of ​​​​stars in the first-generation mining machine database again.

The stars felt his gaze.

"at last."

They only made one syllable.

When the voice of the stars fell, a bit of starlight jumped out of the sea of ​​stars, fell on the forehead of the quantum clone, and then melted like water.

As a result, Chen Yan had a memory fragment in his mind that could not be understood but could only be perceived. The memory fragment contained a small star sea model. Chen Yan looked carefully and saw that the arrangement of stars in the star sea model was similar to that of the first generation

The stars in the data star sea in the mining machine database are arranged exactly the same.

He realized that he could easily call the stars in the star sea model and use it to operate the first-generation mining machine.

His consciousness was transformed into program commands through the quantum clone, and the program commands were input into the control panel of the first-generation mining machine through the mobile phone - that is, a thought.

With the emergence of an idea, the console of the first-generation mining machine started self-correction, and the semi-biomass circuit board began to repel foreign objects in a creeping manner. All the redundant modifications that Chen Yan had made to the console were excluded and fell all over the floor.

.

After a while, the data star sea gradually dimmed, and everything was bright and lonely again.

"We must rest...to gather strength for the next voyage..."

"Bye now……"

The consciousness in the sea of ​​stars fell silent, leaving only the dim starlight to maintain the basic logical operation of the first-generation mining machine.

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the star sea model in the mind of the quantum clone.

The quantum clone itself is a data stream composed of countless transparent 0s and 1s. It only appears in the data world in human form under the control of Chen Yan. After a bit of starlight falls on the forehead of the quantum clone, the overall appearance of the quantum clone is

A spiral nebula can be seen in the transparent head.
