Chapter 823 One dares to lend and one dares to borrow, the living Volcano wandering in lavaLarus City -
Although the scene in front of him is far from it, Li Xiang believes that it has already begun to take shape.
Normal development starts with infrastructure construction, but Mewtwo turned a corner after building its core building, using its extraordinary wisdom to step on the shoulders of human technology and go crazy Develop artificial intelligence.
No way.
Mewtwo doesn't plan to introduce too many humans for the time being, and wants to build the entire island, which is too scarce of labor. Machamp and Conkeldurr alone can't fully meet its needs.
even more how These Pokemons with innate talent on buildings are borrowed from Alliance, and they are not so skilled in ordinary work.
Facing the labor force that will be returned one day sooner or later, Mewtwo has made a choice between going out to kidnap and finding a way on her own.
This is also thanks to the time I went to see the Li Xiang Region finals, otherwise it would not have had the chance to come into contact with the cube robot and this thing of artificial intelligence, not to mention the later learning and "reference".
Now it seems.
It's much more cost-effective to build a robot than to find Pokemon kidnapping all over the world, even if the raw materials, Microchip and other necessities cost Mewtwo a lot of money, living things are more troublesome than dead ones.
At present, Mewtwo is preparing more semi-mechanical factories for mass production of cube robots and construction of infrastructure.
And the reason is more.
Because-
In the Center Building.
Only Li Xiang, Mewtwo and Magearna strolled in the promenade, surrounded by a milk-white background and countless machines, as well as assembly-line-like things, which were working semi-automatically. It operates in the form of something that he doesn't understand at all.
Obviously.
The tallest building on the island was built as a huge integrated factory by Mewtwo. No wonder I always thought the façade was strange when I saw it just now.
"Wouldn't it be a hassle to put a factory in a skyscraper?"
He couldn't help but ask Mewtwo.
『At first is more troublesome. It will be fine after the power plant is built and there are more cube robots. In addition to Zhuxia's technology, I also combined the technology provided by North America and Alliance headquarters, transportation and storage have been solved. 』
Mewtwo paused, 『It's just that the price is a bit expensive. After the construction of this place, it was stopped outside for a long time, and the materials were insufficient. 』
"It's a bit expensive...all the gold bars I got are spent?"
"The gold bars were spent last year, and I worked hard to save them, but it's a pity The things that those people sell are more expensive than the other, especially the Microchip, the core of the cube robot, which exceeds 10,000 per chip - this is still a preferential price. 』
"It was all spent last year, so where did you get the money this year?"
"Bank loan, and I discovered a lot of seabed oil fields and scattered precious metal deposits. But in order not to affect the Wild Pokémon living there, I can only mine protectively, which is very slow and time-consuming, and I plan to arrange for robots or Pokemon to mine in the future. 』
"So now you..."
"You owe the bank 3,000 W, and they can lend it to me because they think I have the ability to repay. 』
Li Xiang twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't know what to say.
Dignified's strongest artificial Pokemon actually owes money to the human bank, and what's more terrifying is that the bank really borrowed it! A full thirty million! This is the second incredible thing after Alliance gave a big island.
There are also many miracles in the follow-up. For example, Mewtwo had to buy Microchip made by humans in batches, lost the help of human industry, and the construction period of the whole island will be suspended, etc.
This scenario is both realistic and frustrating.
After all, human beings have developed for an unknown number of years, and Mewtwo will have to pay a certain price if they want to chase them without relying on martial power.
trifling Money is nothing.
If Mewtwo wants to get rid of the restraint of human beings, it must develop its own black technology industry. But there is no doubt that this kind of thing will not be accomplished overnight.
He looked towards the side.
Magearna was found staring at a honeycomb-shaped cube robot, making noises and beeps from time to time.
Artificial life and artificial intelligence are communicating?
Out of curiosity, he asked Rotom about the content of the exchange between the two, only to get Magearna asking all kinds of strange questions, but the box robot continuously answered the sentence "out of scope".
This guy... wants to get an answer from a pure program?
Li Xiang was speechless for a while, although both parties were artificial, but Magearna has his own mind and can decide what to do by himself, and everything the square box robot does is just the program set in advance by the programmer .
So Magearna won't get the answer she's looking for, unless Mewtwo temporarily scours the Internet for some chicken soup for the soul to record...
Huh?
Maybe give it a try?
Anyway, it would be nice to have some positive things to make it feel good.
He thought a little, but no monkey was so eager to talk to Mewtwo right away, at least until Magearna wasn't around.
Get in the elevator.
Mewtwo took them to the top floor of the central building. The dark and empty environment made Li Xiang a little confused.
But next moment.
The whole top floor is lit up, all directions are glowing, even the floor is no exception.
Magearna raised her foot with her skirt, hesitated for a few seconds before slowly putting it down.
"Welcome home, Island Lord, and honored guests, Simulated Mind One is at your service."
A face with unclear facial features appears in the center .
The walls and ceilings around them gradually became transparent, exposing the outside world in front of their eyes, and even the simple buildings below and the vast coastline were unobstructed.
Even the storm is clearly audible in the distance.
"This is powerful."
Li Xiang said with a little exclamation: "Three hundred and sixty degrees, even the ceiling is not spared."
He raised his head, the bright sun pierced him a little flustered.
"If you build it a little higher, maybe the whole island can be read with naked eye."
"That's true. 』
Mewtwo nodded in agreement, "This building will continue to be added in my plan, but that should be a long time ago. 』
"Because of no money?"
"Because of no money. 』
It honestly stated the biggest difficulty at present, "The original plan was that I would go back tomorrow to mine oil and precious metals to repay the debt with 'capital'. 』
Awesome.
Li Xiang touched the bank card in his trousers pocket, thinking whether he would find a chance to hand it over to Mewtwo. After winning the championship last year, the total bonus and dividends totaled more than 70 million. But since he was being raised by the school and lived in the school and Kirishima all the year round, he basically had nowhere to spend.
It is better to use it in a more valuable place than to increase the number above for interest.
…
Exit from the Center Building.
Mewtwo hasn't forgotten about today's topic - getting Magearna into contact with the island's Pokemon.
The Pokemon on the island today are divided into three parts, first brought from Kirishima, later rescued by Pokemon hunters, and the original inhabitants of the island.
There are a lot of Pokemons that can be bred in three thousand square kilometers. Compared with Mewtwo, these outsiders are not a drop in the ocean.
When I came here at first, it also had the idea of peaceful coexistence and wanted to copy the operation method of Ranger, but the Pokemon on the island were too exclusive, and they had to come to trouble every time.
Mewtwo reluctantly overwhelmed all the natives on the island and became their only king.
Ranger can't say anything, after all, the former is Pokemon, and Pokemon's habit happens to have the item of expanding the site. Since the identity of Mewtwo has been recognized, no one can intervene as long as it does not harm the lives of the aborigines.
This is much more justifiable than human expansion of cities, construction of out-of-city power stations, dams, etc.
The first thing Magearna saw were the first Pokemons that came with Mewtwo.
In the vast Conference Hall.
Also from Kirishima, it can feel kindness from these fierce-looking guys in front of him, so even if Salamence comes up to him and licks and smells it, he doesn't say anything.
On the contrary, he also released flowers in his hands as a gesture of friendship.
After going back and forth, it was actually mixed.
Li Xiang smiled slightly when he noticed Magearna's happy mood. After releasing his Pokemon, he gave them all the space and slowly backed out.
Outside the door.
Mewtwo is hovering in midair, seemingly watching something.
Looking along its line of sight, Li Xiang found that the position his eyes were pointing at was the dormant Volcano behind the mountain range.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with it."
Li Xiang asked, looking up.
Mewtwo fell slowly, paused for two seconds and then nodded, "It is waking up, it is estimated that it will take a year or two. 』
A year or two!
He was surprised: "A year or two? It's too short. No wonder Alliance is willing to give you this island. Can you block it?"
"If I am now The strength of , not counting the form of dark matter, is difficult. 』
Mewtwo did not shy away from her predictions, "The main reason is that its eruption volume is very large, and the duration is not short. It can protect itself, but completely blocking it is a fool's dream. The best way is to start from Solve the problem at the root. 』
"The root cause - how to solve it? Go deep into the liquid layer under the crust to relieve the ground pressure?"
Li Xiang asked curiously, but saw Mewtwo suddenly turn around and look at a certain Take a look.
Several seconds passed.
It said: "If you want to prevent its eruption, you must let Groudon deep in the ground continue to sleep, not to get up, and not to get up. 』
so that's how it is.
It turns out—
Huh? ? ?
"Wait! Groudon! Did I hear that right? You mean that Groudon? The legendary avatar of the earth, the Pokemon who likes to cause Volcano to erupt and expand the continent?"
Li Xiang felt his lips tremble.
How many Divine Beast Illusory Beast names appeared in his ears in just a few days? Although it is Magearna who has really met so far.
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Groudon all appear only in Mewtwo's mouth.
"That's it—you may be mistaken, it's not sleeping under the island. 』
Mewtwo anticipated what Li Xiang was thinking, and explained: "The place where it sleeps is exactly where you said before, the liquid layer. The body is flowing with the flow of the lava, and if it wakes up here, this Volcano is its only exit. 』
"...Grado likes to drill Volcano?"
"Ranger and Alliance told me so, they can't be sure if Groudon will wake up, but it stands to reason It wakes up every twenty years or so, burrows out of the ground to breathe, and then goes back to sleep. 』
"Don't do anything else?"
"Don't do it. 』
So this is equivalent to a fat man who doesn't know how many years he has lived, must go through the 'door', and after leaving the door, he will spit Yawn slobber, and he will not clean up after the spit and turn his head and go back to Rest. .
It's too much!
Li Xiang didn't know how to complain for a while. Groudon and Gai Orm were even the model workers in Divine Beast in their previous lives, no matter if they were in the theater version or in the animation special, in the real story and.
Not even a theatrical version like some Divine Beasts.
"Then what are you going to do?"
He asked worriedly, other Pokemons on the cover of Divine Grade are often unusual, and the most powerful move is Celestial Phenomenon. A little bit can also beat the alien creature with a broken sword in his mouth, so that the opponent can't grow bigger.
"It's still early, so don't worry, I'll go down to find him when there is an omen. 』
Mewtwo was very relieved when she arrived.
While the two were chatting.
A red-haired man came out of nowhere with a camera in his hand, quite excited.
"I finally caught that bastard! He let it steal my ration for a month! ××××!"
What the hell?
Li Xiang glanced over his face, then glanced at the temporary certificate and Ranger Badge on his chest, and was speechless.
The Ranger outside the Region is somewhat special, like this one in front of me, it's okay to swear directly, it's a bit stubborn.
And when Li Xiang saw the other party, the other party also reacted later, "Oh, sorry, I was excited. Are you Li Xiang? My name is Baroque, dispatched by the Ranger Union. Come and assist the Mewtwo people."
"I know. 』
With Mewtwo's answer, the former smiled and shook hands with the Baroque.
It is said to be an assistant, but it is actually similar to the "Overseer", because there is no chance for him to intervene, and the whole process can only be watched from the side, but it is not the Overseer.
Because life is really boring, and it just happened to be a holiday these two days, he can only go to shoot the ecology of Pokemon. And then there's the matter of a lurking bird Pokemon that ate the Ranger's ration.
He tracked almost the entire day before he found the culprit behind and photographed the masterpiece he thought he was satisfied with.
Li Xiang enjoyed it.
Yeah.
So cute.
However, there is still the existence of Rowlet on this island. I don't know whether it is because of the southern hemisphere or the diversity of species.
…
In the Conference Hall.
Watching a group of Pokemon talking and laughing Magearna, I am very satisfied with the environment here.
A person can deceive the eyes but not the mind, so is Pokemon, Kirishima's environment is good, but it's sitting on pins and needles, because that one after another seemingly peaceful, but in fact extremely repulsive gaze is really annoying. uncomfortable.
Xia Lindao didn't have that kind of eyes, even the two guys in the corner who claimed to be aborigines didn't take the opportunity to show any hostility.
By the time Li Xiang came in from outside, Magearna had already made up her mind. She put her hands in front of her stomach and bowed slightly, expressing her gratitude to Li Xiang, before answering her questions.
——It really is the island of cypress.
The former thought that it was really not suitable for the outside world, so he sent it back, didn't expect the other party really chose one.
"Don't worry, just think about it more, the first day's body feeling is nothing, you have to choose for yourself."
Li Xiang looked at it seriously and said : "Let's go back if you don't like it, don't force yourself, be yourself."
"Poor porphy..."
Magearna lowered her head slightly.
