Aukes Civilization
Silver Guard
When Qin Tian heard these two words, a burning passion ignited within him.
Aukes Civilization, the legendary cosmos conqueror of the previous era!
If the current era’s main theme is Spiritual Energy, then the core of the previous era was technology and development.
The Aukes Civilization was the formidable entity standing at the pinnacle of technology in that age—be it war technology or civil technology, they reached heights that later generations could only look up to.
With planet-shattering Star Destroyer Cannons, endless-energy-supplying Stellar Reactors, Phantom Bombs that could turn an entire Star Zone into a barren land
The FTL Drive enabling interstellar travel across vast distances, human regeneration pods capable of repairing fatal wounds in no time, ageless gene serums to keep one’s appearance unchanged...
Such technological creations, which now seem unfathomable, were mere commonplace inventions during the Aukes Civilization’s zenith.
In that era, the Aukes Civilization was the undisputed ruler of the cosmos, dominating the Star Sea without ever facing defeat, no other civilization could challenge them.
Yet, mysteriously, this glorious and seemingly invincible civilization collapsed abruptly without warning, leaving no trace behind.
All that later generations could discover were scattered ruins throughout the universe, and some fragmented information.
It’s thanks to these fragmented clues that later generations could learn about the existence of such a dominant civilization that once ruled an entire era in cosmic history.
And the Silver Guard is one of the most iconic technological creations of the Aukes Civilization—a multi-functional bodyguard robot.
Its main body was forged from the era-specific "Silver," a material that could change shapes at will, assuming forms like a human, animal, among others, and boasting a strong self-repair ability, resembling the T1000 from the Terminator movies.
Moreover, with its embedded ultra-intelligent chip, the Silver Guard possessed formidable logical computing and adaptive capabilities.
From accompanying children in play, escorting them to school as a family care assistant, to being a personal bodyguard ensuring the owner’s safety, and even serving as an indomitable killing machine on the battlefield... the Silver Guard’s functionalities cover every aspect of life and warfare.
As the model upgrades, its data processing ability and combat strength soar exponentially, making it one of the most widely applied and popular robot categories within the Aukes Civilization.
"I must get these two items."
Qin Tian tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly, his attitude resolute.
Whether it’s the Storm, one of the Ten Great Guns, or the Silver Guard from the Aukes Civilization, they may appear as incomplete scraps to others, but in his eyes, as long as he tempers them with the Power of the Martial Immortal, they can be perfectly restored, with their power soaring several levels.
Especially the Silver Guard, whose value far exceeds that of the Storm.
The reason is simple—its strong intelligent attribute is precisely what he urgently needs at the moment.
This is an era dominated by Spiritual Energy, yet technological advancement has never ceased, but rather has flourished.
From military intelligence integration, tactical deductions, to daily life resource allocation, and logistical support, all rely on auxiliary technological creations.
Once repaired and complete, the Silver Guard can serve as a personal bodyguard, an intelligent assistant, and even in the battlefield, it can integrate real-time intelligence, providing the optimal battle plan, rendering it truly versatile.
The auctioneer’s voice came about at the right time, carrying some apology: "The Silver Guard comes from an ancient relic, regrettably, its intelligent chip is damaged, resulting in a significant decline in its smartness. Therefore, we are bundling the two items for auction, with a starting bid of two billion, and bidding starts now!"
As the words fell, a holographic image clearly displayed the full view of the two auction items.
The Storm is a black handgun, with faintly engraved rune patterns on its body, though the engravings are somewhat dim, giving off a broken feeling
The Silver Guard is a silver metal sculpture with only a vague human outline, a smooth face without any facial features, quietly suspended in midair.
"Two billion for two pieces of junk? What is Christie’s thinking?"
Dongfang Haoyue raised an eyebrow.
To ordinary people, the Ten Great Guns and the relics of the Aukes Civilization are unattainably high-end goods, but to the Gold and Holy Blood Clans, they’re merely interesting toys.
The fame of the Ten Great Guns comes from their record of killing Tier Seven Spiritualists, yet those slain Tier Sevens were at most of Silver Bloodline.
To a Tier Seven powerhouse of the Golden Bloodline, these firearms pose no threat.
Not to mention, top-tier Rune Spears are extremely selective in wielders, requiring a very high degree of compatibility to truly display their power; the more powerful the Spiritualist, the more they rely on their own bloodline and Spiritual Energy, rather than external objects.
This creates a paradox—the ones truly capable of wielding the Ten Great Guns are often not powerful Spiritualists.
Not to mention these are still incomplete versions.
As for the Silver Guard, it was already a mass-produced product commonplace in the Aukes Civilization, while the high-end models might be worth snatching, this kind with a damaged intelligent chip is beyond repair with the Empire’s current technology, merely occupying space as a decoration brought home.
He truly didn’t expect Christie’s to put such items on a high-end auction, it somewhat dropped the value.
Beyond Dongfang Haoyue’s expectation, after the bidding began, the auction price was stuck for several seconds, remaining at two billion.
It was not until the countdown was nearing, that someone bid on the electronic screen.
Two billion and fifty million.
This increase contrasted sharply with the hefty hikes of several hundred million, even billions, seen in the previous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and Spiritual Artifacts sections, which indirectly reflected everyone’s attitude toward these two auction items.
