Chapter 668 As if alive
"That doesn't make sense... That doesn't make sense..."
In the Zuoxi Mechanical Workshop in Zhidong, Sandoni muttered to himself in front of a table full of design drawings.
A week had passed since the operation, and she had been studying the drawings left by Zuo Xi without sleep for a week, trying to find out what went wrong and why the operation was apparently successful but still failed to achieve the expected results.
She wasn't going to give up, and she never would.
She would definitely figure out what Zuo Xi left behind, and then use it to pull him back...but it was already too late.
Just three days ago, the Queen issued an order, ordering all executive officers scattered throughout Teyvat to return to Winter Solstice within a week... Attached to the order was the news of Zuo Xi's death.
The meaning of this order is easy to guess. The death of an executive officer will be mourned by all other members. This is the tradition of the executive officer group.
The Queen issued this decree, which means that she already believes that Zuo Xi is completely dead...and if we wait until Zuo Xi's funeral is completely over and he is completely frozen forever, it will be too late.
But despite being extremely anxious, Sandone discovered in horror and despair that she had no idea what to do... because no matter how she compared, no matter how many times she repeated it, what she made was exactly the same as the first time and there was no difference at all when compared to the design drawing.
In other words, the problem was not with her... This was what she least wanted to see. She had never hoped that there was a problem with her skills as much as she did now.
She would rather find out that it was because her skills were not good enough that the things she made did not achieve the effect as designed. In this way, she only needed to focus on improving her skills, and one day she would be able to reach that level.
But the reality is that she has been able to perfectly replicate Zuo Xi's design, but it still doesn't work...which means that there is no way for her to undo the situation.
Weakness and despair filled Sandone's body, making it hard for her to breathe.
They had just confirmed their relationship the last time they met, and had just taken a step that should have been taken long ago, but when they met again, he had already fallen into a deep sleep...
No... there must be a way. Isn't there something that I don't understand?
Sandoni thought about that button.
Since Zuo Xi gave her this choice, it meant that he must have his reasons. That button must have some purpose that she hadn't discovered... If she could figure out that purpose, maybe there would be a way to save Zuo Xi.
Sandone firmly believed it... because she had no other choice but to believe it.
If there is no hope at all, she will go crazy. Even if she doesn't go crazy right away, she will become more and more addicted to those few short years in the long and lonely years, and finally fall into the abyss because of the elimination of the last bit of hope.
...Ah, that's how it is.
Sandone suddenly understood the function of the button, and also understood why Zuo Xi asked her to choose whether to press it or not when she was at her wit's end.
Maybe it really has some function. After all, it is normal for Zuo Xi to have multiple plans at the same time. This button must have other corresponding practical functions.
But its biggest function is actually to give myself a little visible hope... Zuo Xi is really cunning.
You're already dead, but you're still worrying about others... Do you really want me to live alone even if it means enduring loneliness and torture?
If she doesn't press the button, it means she is worried about the consequences and still has concerns, so she won't commit suicide easily. If she presses the button but it doesn't work, she won't give up given her personality, so this button is her concern.
Sandoni smiled silently, and his tears fell to the ground with a dripping sound.
"You deserve a beating, I will definitely save you."
……
"How can we recycle the adult's relics?"
Xumi was the battlefield of the war between gods not long ago. The commander of the "Jixin" troops was worried when facing the behemoth.
Lord [Mortal] died unexpectedly, and no one in the Fatui believed this at first. When he received the news, he just said "Oh" and thought that was it.
Because no one thinks that the omnipotent [mortal] Lord will encounter something that cannot be solved. Even if it is really unsolvable, no one can do anything to their respected [mortal] Lord.
However, not long after, the Queen's oracle was issued.
Faced with the thin decree covering the token, Tarrance was stunned for a long time before he could recover.
The executive officer who he thought was omnipotent and invincible actually died?
As a soldier, sacrifice is something that must be faced. But the sacrifice of the executive officer inevitably makes people feel a little... at a loss.
But the fact is that, no matter how hard it is to accept, things will not change. So he led his subordinates to prepare to recover the master's relics... Such a powerful thing must not be in the hands of other forces.
What's more, this is the executive officer's property and cannot be touched by others.
When he arrived at the battlefield and saw the devastated scene around him, he began to believe the unbelievable news a little more.
Just from the current explosion scene, one can tell how fierce the battle that took place here before was. Even the invincible [Gaiboga] is now standing quietly on the battlefield, and the light on its body has been extinguished.
In the sky, a huge suspended warship, whose work you can tell at a glance is floating in the air, quietly waiting for the next instruction that will never come.
[Sky Father] was also standing on an open space not far away. Unlike [Gaboga], the energy patterns on Sky Father's body were still bright. The reason why he had not taken any action was because he was in standby mode, just like the giant ship in the sky, waiting for orders that would never come.
This is the "legacy" they want to reclaim.
But therein lies the problem – they have no effective recycling method.
[Gaiboga] That's not too bad. Although it's huge and extremely heavy due to its characteristics, it should still be possible to move it using multiple large-scale transport machines.
But what about the giant ship in the sky? They had no authority to drive it away, nor did they have enough powerful aerial machinery to push it. It seemed that they had no other choice but to watch.
The [Heavenly Father] is the most troublesome one, because it has not lost its energy supply...which means it is now in a perfect state.
Whether in terms of mobility or combat effectiveness, there is no difference between the current [Father] and the usual [Father]. It is so quiet only because there are no commands.
But the problem is that [Heavenly Father] has a passive counterattack defense system. Although they should be green units in the preset data, that is limited to normal behavior patterns.
If they approach rashly and try to move, [Father] will automatically judge them as local units and launch a certain degree of counterattack.
This "counterattack to a certain extent" would probably only be enough to drive away the enemy in a battle of the same scale, and would not be a very intense pursuit.
But for them, it would be a truly devastating blow... Not to mention hitting them, even the slightest aftermath would be enough to drain their lives for several lifetimes.
"what?"
Just when he was worrying, Tarence suddenly felt that [Gaboga] in front of him seemed to move slightly... Was it an illusion?
No, it wasn't an illusion. Because Gaibojia moved again in front of his eyes, and this time the movement was larger, so it couldn't be a mistake.
What's going on? Theoretically, when the energy supply is cut off, any machine will be unable to move, right? Or is it that the energy supply of Gaiboga is not cut off, but the dormancy level is deeper?
"boom!!!"
Just as Tarence was wondering what was going on, a deafening roar resounded through the sky.
"All alert!"
Tarrance quickly entered combat status and immediately organized the troops to assemble before beginning to search for the source of the roar.
However, when he determined the source of the sound, he was completely stunned.
He saw Heavenly Father raise his head... and the roar just now was the sound of Heavenly Father's core power reactor running at full power.
The shock was not over yet. The movement of the [Gaiboga] in front of him was getting bigger and bigger, so big that Tarence could finally determine what it was doing - it was trying to stand up and move in a certain direction.
The giant ship in the sky also resumed operation and moved forward in a certain direction on its own, while Gaiboga made some noises at the right time.
The [Father], whose power reactor was running frantically, made a new move. It leaped to Gaiboga's side, picked up Gaiboga's body with both hands, and took off again, flying in the same direction as the giant ship.
……
Tarrance couldn't describe his feelings, or even what he had just witnessed.
It may sound unbelievable, but the actions and performance of Gaiboga and Tianfu just now gave him an illusion for a moment... It didn't seem like two machines were executing some kind of instructions, but more like two comrades supporting each other.
They... they seemed to come alive.
