MTL - Become The Guard AI Of The Lost Civilization After Transmigration-Chapter 20 "threaten"?
Chapter 20 "The Threat"?
"...On our ship, I am the only one who is a Laberne."
After hearing Cowper's words, "Fatty" was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, gradually revealing his true face.
"This is indeed my negligence, but I forgot that we can't take it for granted that aliens and 'humans' are the same."
The body of "Fatty" began to twist, and the projection attached to the skin instantly dissipated as the "Mobile Holographic Theater" was closed.
A synthetic human who was also a complete "alien" in the eyes of Cowper and others appeared in front of them, and this was the synthetic human controlled by Li Wenyuan.
"Let me introduce myself, I am the manager of this planet, you can also call me...'Guardian'."
Guardian…
Copper frowned, staring at the unknown creature in front of him warily, and frantically searched for information related to it in his brain, but found nothing in the end.
Just when he was about to say something, the young man on the side suddenly spoke, his tone full of unkindness.
"...so, the loss of control of our ship is your fault?"
"Of course, it is not difficult to crack your defense system." Li Wenyuan readily agreed, and did not hide it.
"So as long as we keep you here, we can leave?" The young man's eyes became more and more dangerous, as if he wanted to make a move.
And Li Wenyuan was also stunned, looked the young man up and down, couldn't help but said:
"...Is 'self-esteem' a virtue in your civilization? How do you think that a person who has a way to solve your spaceship quietly can be easily taken care of by you?"
"Only the 'unknown' is scary, but now that you are here, you are no longer 'unknown'. As far as we are concerned, you have become a guy who can be defeated." Young people are still not afraid , looks quite confident.
Li Wenyuan also nodded and said: "So that's the case. I also thought about whether to keep enough mystery to get in touch with you, but after all, I need to establish a 'cooperative' relationship with you. I think it's better to speak out."
"But I didn't expect you to want to do something to me as soon as you came up," Li Wenyuan looked at the young man very curiously at this moment.
"I've noticed it before, you seem to have an inexplicable confidence all the time, as if your life will never be in danger... Could it be that you have some deep secret?"
Such words made the young man's pupils shrink slightly, but on the surface, he still remained indifferent.
Finally, the professor stood in front of everyone, stared at the "alien" in front of him, and said:
"... this respected guardian, just now my student was a little offended by his words, I would like to apologize for you on his behalf, and hope you forgive me."
His words were full of humbleness, he apologized first when he came up, and put himself in a lower position.
Well-informed professors are older and more astute.
Of course he can see that the "guardian" in front of him has no malicious intentions towards them for the time being, and it is easy for the unknown being who controls such technology to kill them in the dark.
And judging from the words of the "Guardians", he still needs their assistance to some extent, otherwise he doesn't have to show up in person to show his sincerity.
Based on this, the professor wants to hear what this "guardian" really wants.
And this is also Cowper's idea. Under the condition of ensuring his own safety, he is eager to know the secrets here, because it is very likely to be related to his father's death!
"Then, respectful Guardian, can you talk to us about what you mean by 'cooperation'?"
"Of course no problem, I'm here to talk about this." Li Wenyuan nodded and continued:
"As you can see, there are a huge number of ruins on this planet, and countless secrets are hidden in them."
"And I don't know anything except taking care of this planet, and I don't know how to dig out the ruins, so I need some 'experts' to help me find out the secrets in those ruins."
"I will provide you with all the resources you need, including food, equipment, manpower, and a good living environment..."
The synthetic human controlled by Li Wenming looked at them with a smile, and continued: "...Of course, except for freedom."
"I currently have no plans to let you leave this planet, but as long as you can make enough contributions... I will also consider letting you go free."
"Impossible!" Before the others could speak, the young man said firmly:
"Why should we listen to a guy whose identity is unknown, race is unknown, and he doesn't even know if he's a creature?"
"What if he's just bluffing? Maybe he's just a drifter who came here ahead of us. He used some small tricks to make us think that he is powerful and wants us to work for him! Don't be fooled by him! "
"Shut your mouth!" The old professor gave the young man a hard look, scolding the dumb guy dozens of times in his heart, and then carefully looked at Li Wenyuan.
"...Dear guardian, my student is quite impatient, please bear with me... But you see, we also want to know whether you have the strength to support our excavation work, after all, it is difficult for us to survive in a dangerous place with only the flesh Exploring in the ruins..."
Of course the old professor is a master, and it is certainly impossible to believe that Li Wenyuan is a "guardian" based on one-sided words.
"If this 'guardian' can't come up with convincing evidence, or if he just makes a big deal, then he's a liar." The professor thought to himself, still with a downcast expression on his face.
"There is nothing wrong with this," Li Wenyuan nodded, snapped his fingers and said:
"Didn't you just discuss what this is in the sky? I can tell you that this is a warship. As for why it doesn't generate gravity, it's because its body is in the subspace."
"The one in the sky is its projection in the real universe, and its actual mass is only about that of a meteorite."
As he said that, the originally dark sky returned to light in an instant, the sun was still high in the sky, and the previous darkness seemed to be just an illusion.
"This..." Everyone seemed a little unbelievable. Such a huge thing that was almost comparable to a cosmic phenomenon was actually a battleship?
So how terrifying would the civilization that built this kind of warship be?
"This alone may not be enough, so let me show you some of the drawings and explanations of the battleship... I think with your education level, you should be able to distinguish what is fiction and what is science."
As he said that, the synthetic man's eyes flashed, and a miniature drawing of a "Sky Veil Battleship" was projected into this space, surrounded by a huge number of parameters, which looked decent.
The eyes of Cowper and the professor lit up, and their brains full of knowledge instantly launched an analysis. When they encountered problems, they even discussed them on the spot.
Even the young man who was always upset couldn’t help taking a look in this atmosphere, and then he was attracted by the complex and whimsical structure and immersed in it.
Even if there are many places they can't understand at all, they have to admit that this is indeed a possible "miracle".
"How, do you believe it?"
"...Maybe the only civilizations with such technology are those lost empires? Dear Guardian, please forgive our previous rudeness. It is my honor to serve you."
Professor's posture instantly became respectful. If there was still a trace of doubt before, after seeing this blueprint, he has been completely convinced by the technology used in it.
He even had a terrifying guess, maybe the "Guardian" in front of him... is an existence at the same level as those "Lost Empires".
"Oh? It doesn't matter even if you can't return to your hometown?" Li Wenyuan asked a question with great interest.
The professor hesitated for a while, and said honestly: "Although it is regrettable, the biggest goal of my life is to research results on alien ruins."
"It doesn't matter if I can't return to my home planet, as long as I can complete my life's pursuit, I will die without regret."
"Admirable spirit." Li Wenyuan praised and looked at Cowper again.
"Your thoughts?"
"I agree with the professor." Cowper quickly replied:
"I came here to investigate the cause of my father's death, and now that I have found clues, I will not agree to drive me away."
"Good idea." Li Wenyuan nodded, and finally looked at the confident young man.
"...So, what do you think?"
The young man was silent for a while, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking intensely.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he asked Li Wenyuan:
"May I ask a question before answering?"
"certainly."
"...May I ask, are you controlling that battleship in the sky?"
"I'm manipulating, what's wrong?" Li Wenyuan replied happily, looking at the young man curiously, wondering why he asked such a question.
But the young man breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body seemed to relax, and his eyes gradually changed from the changeable at the beginning to playfulness. With a strong confidence in the expression, it seems that everything is under control.
He stepped forward slowly, every step raised his energy and spirit, and accompanied by the strong atmosphere brought by self-confidence, it turned into his aura of "surrendering everything".
"Then there's nothing to be afraid of... Old Antique, those things of yours are out of date."
He said this, with a mocking smile on his face:
"Let's show you the power of the new era!"
