Chapter 205 – Federal Supercomputer

The glory of the old days is gone.

The only thing that remains is the wreckage of machinery.

And silent dust.

Witness together the prosperity that was once there.

The yellow sand began to roar as the wind surged up, crashing against the walls of the energy company’s buildings, shattering in response and dissipating into whitish wind swirls in midair.

The Xu system had read some information that had a pretty good Sai Prime Energy in it.

It is ranked among the top 100 military industries in the Federation.

The strength of its power and its depth was unimaginable to the Xu system, but judging from the anti-gravity airship in the center of the city, Sai Prime Energy was indeed formidable.

Except that even the Federation itself has died out, let alone an energy company.

The ravages of a hundred years of time have left Saikyo Energy in complete ruin, reduced to a dumping ground where wise weapons wander.

“Drip-“

“Drip-“

A Zhiqi discovered the Xu system’s presence and was about to launch an attack when two electromagnetic cannons emerged from the power armor’s shoulders, directly blasting it to smithereens.

“Master, the dangerous target has been eliminated, you may proceed.”

“Well done, Ailee.”

The Xu system complimented its own machine servant.

A big step forward.

Palm picking.

Groping around in the blasted and shattered remains of the wise weapon.

Gather up the few parts that remain intact and place them in the carry-on storage unit.

Then after that, Xu System took out his power armor’s main weapon, an oversized Gauss EM Blaster, and aimed it at the ruins of the energy company.

Forcibly blast out the openings available for forward travel.

“Oh wow, jackpot.”

The Xu system stops in its tracks.

Only to see a pair of red eyes suddenly light up in the darkness of the ruins ahead, an external sign of flickering electronic eyes.

……

[You worked hard and diligently, and over the course of several years, analyzed and learned most of the items in the lab.]

[You realize that if you want to continue to improve yourself, you need to acquire more mechanical items that resonate with more mechanical power]

[There are only two ways out in front of you.]

[I. Explore the ruins of the Confederacy and discover the bright past in the wasteland]

[II. Defeat different smart machines and gain knowledge from the remains of the machines]

[You choose to strike both at once]

[You put on your power armor and walk out of the lab with the assistance of Ailee, clearing out the weaker Smartarms and collecting valuable wreckage along the way while heading to the ruins of a valuable building, ready to be explored]

[Your luck is a bit delicate]

[Upon entering the energy company, you meet a large pack of Mechanical Hounds, the security smartphones of Saikyo Energy and the main cause of its demise.]

[You used Armament Enhancement on the Power Armor and won a hard-fought victory with the aid of the Machine Servant AI]

“Ka-ching!”

Explosive rounds loaded.

As Xu System pulled the trigger, huge electromagnetic blasts ran through several mechanical hounds.

Then, after that, he swung his hardened gun straight up and slammed it against the wall with tremendous force, flattening more hounds on the spot.

More weapons.

More aiming.

All left to Airey’s assisted maneuvering.

When the battle ended, the noisy battlefield became quiet, and Department Xu looked at the mechanical wreckage all over the ground and couldn’t help but frown.

“This is not going to work ……”

“With just this power armor, it’s still a little too weak.”

Xu System clenched his fists and shook his head with some disappointment as he felt the armored power of the armament increase.

This time, unlike the previous three times, the sci-fi side of the simulation allows for an advantage to be gained through individual greatness.

The world of technology.

Individuals are just a part of civilization.

The mechanical waves are endless.

It would be difficult to deal with that many Intelligent Devices with just the Xu system alone.

“As the old saying goes, you have to use magic to defeat magic, I deserve to follow the customs this time, and use man-to-man tactics to defeat man-to-man tactics”, the Xu system mused, continuing to push forward.

The best thing about technology is actually that amazing productivity.

The Xu system is not clear.

Do those insurgent smart devices have the ability to produce their own.

But even the number of Intelligent Devices that were already there was an astronomical number that he couldn’t fight against, unless the Xu system, on its side, had an equally endless army of Intelligent Devices.

Or maybe he really is replicating his personal greatness in this world and achieving mechanical ascension.

“Gee, none of this is easy ……”

The Xu system loses its smile and enters the energy company in a more violent way.

He doesn’t have much of a plan.

The post-apocalyptic world is filled with enemies, no reinforcements, no resources, and only one step at a time.

Snap.

Snap.

With the sound of booming footsteps.

The Xu system swaggered, bursting into the heart of Saikyo Energy.

“Master, I have scanned the nearby terrain and have now generated a viewable map for your attention.”

“Thanks, Ailee.”

The calm voice kept echoing, alerting the surroundings for the Xu system.

Xu nodded his head, and after consulting the inner workings of the energy company, he slightly discerned his direction towards the more central areas.

The way was dim and unlit, and dust covered the sight.

But power armor comes with high armor.

It makes the Xu system fearless of danger.

He rammed his way across the room, stepping over many human bones and machinery before finally blowing through an alloy gate.

“Airey.”

“What is it, Master?”

“I think I can get you a new home.”

Xu said, tapping his finger on the right side of his helmet to activate the power armor’s head lights.

The lights were intense white, illuminating the metal objects buried in the ruins of the building, their color white, their shape delicate.

The Xu system recognizes it.

It’s a supercomputer.
