"Is that so... Then you must already know the purpose of my visit."
Upon seeing this, Bronya spoke very seriously.
"Of course, and we will do our best to cooperate with your work."
"No need for that. Just get rid of some irrelevant people. After all, you can't help me with anything."
Jiang Lin's calm words made Bronya and the others feel somewhat uncomfortable, but they also knew that they couldn't change anything.
Soon after, Jiang Lin was left with only Bronya, Seele, and Jepard.
After everything was ready, Jiang Lin began his operation.
He examined the creation engine before him once more, then without further hesitation, took out the fire he had prepared beforehand.
Under Jiang Lin's control, the spark flew straight into the creation engine's chest.
The three people behind Jepard also looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Lin frowned, just when he thought the experiment had failed...
Suddenly, a blue light emanated from the creation engine's chest, which then rapidly enveloped the entire creation engine...
After spreading throughout the entire creation engine, each of its joints began to emit a blue light.
Then came a violent shaking of the ground, but fortunately, the place where they were located was a platform, so the violent shaking did not have any effect on them.
A moment later, after the blue light disappeared, a brand new creation engine appeared before them.
All the old, oxidized parts of it had become brand new.
Even the wounds sustained during the previous battle with Cocolia have been completely healed.
The most outrageous thing is that even some parts that were missing from the creation engine for some reason seemed to have grown out.
The three people behind Jiang Lin were stunned by the scene; it completely shattered their worldview.
They only have one thought in their minds right now...
Is this really something that science can do?
Bronya, in particular, clearly remembered the condition of the Creation Engine and knew that it was missing something.
But now that I look at it... it's grown so fresh and healthy? Is this really scientific?
Jiang Lin, standing ahead, nodded in satisfaction. He had added some abundant power to the fire seed, so he wasn't surprised that he could achieve this.
Just then, the Creation Engine looked down at the people below.
This made Jepard, a warrior, tense up, and he unconsciously took out his large violin case...
Seele also took out her scythe, looking at the enormous creature in front of her with a wary expression.
She knew how dangerous the huge machine in front of her was.
The Creation Engine, however, showed no intention of attacking; its deep voice came from above...
"I...who am I?"
His tone was confused. He had gained the ability to think, and this question had surfaced in his mind the moment he gained sentience.
However, his question went unanswered, while Jiang Lin looked at his masterpiece with some delight.
The three people behind them were stunned. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still surprised when they actually saw this moment.
Bronya, as the leader, felt an immense pressure, like a mountain...
Her throat tightened, and her hands clenched tightly. For the first time, she felt so clearly how insignificant Belloberg was in the universe.
A chill swept over her from all around, but it couldn't suppress the throbbing in her temples. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
And he kept telling himself, "I can't give up, if even I give up..."
At that moment, Jiang Lin also spoke up:
"That's up to you."
Upon hearing this answer, even someone as large as the Creation Engine could clearly sense his confusion.
"then who are you?"
Jiang Lin replied calmly:
"Me? I am the one who gave you life."
Upon hearing this answer, the Creation Engine, for some reason, did not doubt it but instead continued to ask questions.
"Should I call you master?"
But Jiang Lin shook his head:
"There's no need, and it's not necessary. You can just call me 'sir'."
The creation engine did not refuse.
"Okay, then... sir, can you tell me what I was before?"
Upon hearing this question, Bronya behind him instinctively wanted to answer...
But he was a step too slow for Jiang Lin, and he replied matter-of-factly:
"Oh, just a lump of scrap metal, nothing of high technical value."
This answer silenced the creation engine.
This also caused the three people behind Jiang Lin to twitch their lips.
After a long silence, the creation engine spoke again:
"Thank you, sir. Is there anything I can do for you?"
These words made the three people behind him tense up, and they all looked at Jiang Lin nervously.
But Jiang Lin refused:
"That's unnecessary. Your birth means my experiment was a success, and my goal has been achieved."
And you, as a newly born intelligent life, are free.
I won't ask you to do anything; just do what you believe is right.
The three people behind him breathed a sigh of relief, but the Creation Engine itself pondered for a long time before expressing its gratitude to Jiang Lin once again.
"Thank you again, generous and great sir, I will never forget your kindness."
Jiang Lin nodded and recorded all the data from the experiment.
Bronya, on the other hand, wanted to try talking to the living creation engine about Berloberg.
But something completely unexpected happened...
The creation engine, which had been in a calm state, seemed to sense something and suddenly became excited.
"Aaaaaah, build a wall!! Build a wall!!!"
Chapter 42 A new beginning
Jiang Lin: ! ? ?
Bronya, Seele, Jepard: ? ? !
The sudden turn of events left Jiang Lin, Jepard, and the other two both puzzled and surprised.
Jiang Lin fell into deep thought...
Is there a problem with the data I'm using?
Or was the creation engine affected by the protection after consciousness was born?
At this point, Jiang Lin preferred the latter...
But he still asked directly:
"What's wrong with you?"
After a while, the creation engine stopped being so excited.
He lowered his head, his deep voice tinged with embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, sir. I just lost control and... shouted it out."
Jiang Lin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then added another sentence to the experimental data:
"Mechanical life forms that possess the flame are also affected by their destiny, and it is speculated that they should be able to enter their destiny normally."
After organizing the experimental data, Jiang Lin began to think about the issue of mass production...
They conveniently left the space to Bronya and her group.
For Jiang Lin, mass production should not be a problem, but he intends to keep the authority to bring life firmly in his own hands.
Whether or not the spark should bring life to the machine is up to him.
After all, Jiang Lin didn't want the intelligent mechanical life in this universe to be devalued because of the birth of the spark.
It makes people treat smart machines as tools that can be manufactured and used at will.
Jiang Lin then casually set a few anchor points and prepared to leave.
After all, there was nothing on this little ice hockey puck that interested him at the moment.
Just then, Xing sent Jiang Lin another video...
"Star: Look at this."
Jiang Lin was a little puzzled, but he still clicked to read it.
In the image, a photo of the Black Tower figurine is placed against a backdrop of the space station.
The creator thoughtfully blurred the face, but it didn't help much; anyone who's seen Black Tower can recognize who it is.
Then a standard female voice came out.
"Ms. Black Tower's Breaking News - Good evening, fellow haters! We have an urgent news briefing."
"Recently, the great genius club #83, Lady Black Tower, went missing after the space station was attacked."
