Rumble——

With a huge roar, [Ice Source Rambler] finally paused its continuous snow shoveling action.

The huge mechanical arm slowly stopped with a rumble, as if the entire planet was shaken.

On the giant snow removal shovel, heavy snow blocks began to slide down, and the sound of falling echoed on the silent ice field, breaking the dead silence around them.

As the snow fell, the scene of huge buildings gradually came into view.

It was a huge metal wall, a relic of civilization that had been buried by ice and snow for countless years. At this moment, its true appearance was finally revealed in the eternal cold.

The traces of time on the metal wall are clearly visible, with mottled rust and traces of frost intertwined together.

The wind was howling in this desolate land, and Xia Xiu was standing on the deck of the [Ice Source Rambler]. His blond hair was fluttering in the wind, and his golden eyes reflected the cold light on the ice, revealing a feeling that did not belong to him.

The warmth of this cold world.

And his shoulders were also occupied by the two generals on the left and right.

On his left shoulder, a cat with gray fur and green eyes curled up gracefully. It was licking its paws and curiously looking at the ice below; and on his right shoulder, a cat with purple hair and purple eyes was curled up gracefully.

A miniature girl is sitting. Although she is as small as a keychain, she exudes a presence that cannot be ignored. Her purple eyes still shine with an almost dreamlike light in the cold wind.

"This is an alchemical project... The scale of this thing is comparable to that of a space-based weapons project, but it was actually buried on Jupiter."

Xia Xiu looked down at the alchemy project that was completely revealed in front of him.

What appeared in front of him at this moment was a huge furnace, or it should be called a mechanical city. The first impression was its huge scale and tight structure, as if it was a mechanical city carefully spliced ​​together by countless small machines.

The central part of the device is a series of large cylindrical structures, which appear to be the main body of the device and have shapes similar to gears and hubs.

These cylinders are covered with dense details, including pipes, exhaust vents, ladders and platforms. These parts are made very finely, and their surfaces have complex textures and patterns, showing an extremely high level of craftsmanship.

Above and around the installation are numerous small pavilion-like buildings, connected by a series of bridges, ladders and suspension bridges.

The steam and smoke rising from these buildings, as well as the water vapor spurting from some pipes, add a dynamic vitality to the entire scene. It covers an area of ​​at least more than one kilometer.

In the desolate land of Callisto, its existence is like a miracle. Its existence is like a huge work of art that spans the past and the future. Its appearance combines mechanical and natural elements, presenting an original and advanced

The paradoxical beauty of technology.

From a distance, the furnace looks like a giant dragon winding on the ice field. Heavy metal plates and mechanical parts are staggered and stacked to form an impenetrable barrier; its surface is covered with rusty steel and cold silver.

The metal shines with the luster of being eroded by wind and snow; between these metals are mixed rough rocks and hard horn wood. The combination of these natural materials and mechanical components shows a kind of tenacity and adaptability for survival.

The remnants of reassembled ships and armored vehicles can also be seen in the structure of the furnace.

What were once war machines were now transformed into protective components, with their huge tires and track sections transformed into strong support points and pillars, while the turrets and machine gun ports were transformed into protruding observation points and defense stations.

The furnace as a whole presents an intricate aesthetic.

Above and to the sides are mounted steam pipes and rotating gears that release steam in cold climates, as if breathing the furnace itself.

Under the illumination of the blurred sea of ​​stars above Jupiter, the steam leaking from these pipes formed a hazy halo in the moonlight, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the furnace.

This thing is full of unique beauty that combines technology and alchemical engineering.

Pfft——

Xia Xiu, who was observing the huge furnace on the deck, suddenly stretched out his hand, and a blue fire of data emerged from his hand. The authority that had stolen from the God of All Machines in his body began to rotate.

The "Fire Source" began to emit a strange luster, and at the same time, the [Triple Crown] filled with 75% electricity was hung behind his forehead again.

"Let's first try to see if these things have a machine soul. If there is no machine soul, we can basically rule out that they are the products of the [Gear Orthodox Church]."

Xia Xiu said in his heart, and then he directly started to activate his authority to conduct a comprehensive three-dimensional [Full Wisdom Scan] on the huge mechanical structure in front.

As a lower-level substitute for the authority of the God of All Machines [Omniscient], [Omniscient Scanner] possesses reverse engineering capabilities that far exceed those of any engineer or thaumaturgic editor.

To put it bluntly, [Quanzhi Scan] is a one-stop paste analysis function. It can not only copy engineering technology, but also perform engineering modeling, data collection, data analysis, machine soul detection...

At this moment, Xia Xiu used [Crown Blessing] to start a large-scale scan of everything with the furnace as the center and a radius of three kilometers.

"Crown Blessing·Broken Fire——"

"The fire of data·All-intelligent scanning!"

Buzz——

A strange buzzing sound sounded, and the eyes of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven also penetrated the layers of ice fog at this moment, taking a bird's-eye view of the vast ice fields outside and the towering steam furnace in the distance.

Blue flames slowly rose from his palm, filled with visual energy of data and information.

This blue fire of data squirms like a living thing, layer upon layer, like waves in the digital ocean.

There are countless symbols, numbers and calculation rules flowing inside the flame. They are rapidly transformed and reorganized in a way that is beyond ordinary people's understanding. Every 0 and 1 in the flame is like a tiny universe, containing infinite information and

possibility.

Tick-tock——

With a slight ticking sound, the fire of data suddenly jumped, as if it had touched a key node.

Those 0 and 1 are like activated particles, bursting out instantly and releasing dazzling light.

At this moment, he became the core of this digital revolution, and a whole new world reflected in his eyes.

Everything around him seemed to be given a new dimension and turned into a three-dimensional image composed of azure data. Every corner, every pipe, and every metal plate inside the ship under his feet was touched by the light of the fire of data.

Become clear and thorough.

The steam furnace in the distance was also wrapped in this energy, and its complex structure and huge scale were clearly displayed in the eyes of the blond young man.

Soon, a blue feedback interface that only Xia Xiu could see appeared in his retina.

——Quanzhi scan completed——

The basic information and model drawings have been copied and are now stored in the [Fire Memory Bank].

Scanning range: 360° panoramic analysis, covering the entire structure of the furnace {data expansion}.

Frequency response: 8.5 GHz - 12 GHz, microwave frequency band has been used for penetration scanning {data expansion}.

Resolution: 1 mm fine scanning to obtain surface and internal structure details {data expansion}.

Initial test results:

Structural stability: Preliminary analysis shows that the structural foundation is stable and there is no obvious external damage.

Material integrity: Most metal components remain in good structural condition, with some areas showing signs of corrosion.

Energy output: Low-frequency energy fluctuations were detected, possibly originating from an unknown internal energy system.

Temperature distribution: The surface temperature is uniform, and the internal hot spot distribution is consistent with the expected mechanical operating area.

Dynamic characteristics: Weak movement was observed at the hub and gear structure, which may indicate mechanical activity.

Think tank detection: No advanced AI reaction was detected, but a large number of narrow AI (weak artificial intelligence) was detected internally.

Machine soul detection: The machine soul spirituality was not detected.

Recommended action:

Deep Scan: Perform a deep scan of areas showing signs of corrosion to assess potential structural risks.

Energy system assessment: Conduct detailed energy spectrum analysis to determine the source and nature of energy fluctuations.

Mechanical movement monitoring: Implement 24-hour dynamic monitoring to record the activity patterns of all mechanical components.

————————

After feeling the information fed back by [All Wisdom Scan], the blond young man raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

"Are there a large number of narrow AIs? This thing couldn't be made in Iberia, right? After all, the principle of Iberian gun fighting is also to create a large number of weak artificial intelligences and control bullets made of special metals and filled with intelligence."

Thoughts flashed through Xia Xiu's mind.

Although the narrow AI produced by Iberia only has limited response capabilities, has no self-awareness, cannot perform tasks beyond the scope of programming, and has a short lifespan, if they are combined with gun fighting skills, they will explode with terrifying power.

"It's useless to think too much now. It seems we can only go down and conduct on-site inspections."

Xia Xiu came to the edge of the ship and stared at the ice below. Then he jumped lightly and floated down from a height of 21 meters.

At the moment of falling, it seemed that the whole world held its breath, and time and space froze at his feet.

Just as he was about to touch the ice, ripples on the lake suddenly flashed under his feet, as if his steps had touched some kind of secret power.

This force spread out under his feet and turned into an invisible buffer, making his feet as light as feathers and standing firmly on the ice without any sound.

After landing, Xia Xiu suddenly raised his head and said to the front:

"Come out, stop hiding."

On this desolate ice field shrouded in the shadow of the furnace, as the blond young man jumped off the ship of the [Ice Source Walker], the ground suddenly shook subtly.

Dust swirled under his feet, and the atmosphere was filled with foreboding tension. The silence on the ice sheet was broken, and an ancient and advanced power was awakening.

Something was pouring out from the dark depths of the furnace.

They are only five meters tall, but in this silent world, they appear like giants.

These structures are made of rock, and their surfaces are covered with traces of time and the scars of war.

Their limbs are heavy and each step leaves deep footprints, which is in sharp contrast to the cold white snow around them.
