The elegant and easy-going voice obviously omitted many unimportant details, but Wu Ming still roughly understood the situation.
To sum up what the metal ball claiming to be the United Kingdom is asking for can be summed up in one sentence.
"I, the United Kingdom, help me!"
Wu Ming naturally responded like this: "But, I refuse!"
"..." The voice in the metal ball was silent for a moment, and soon the elegant and easy-going mechanical voice sounded again: "SHIT! Big guy, it seems you don't realize the seriousness of the matter. We doctors have been here for thousands of years since the founding of the United Kingdom. The regiment has always used exoskeleton armor to save lives and fight against various diseases, and that demon scientist Constantine is the most vicious heretic and criminal in the tens of millions of years of our bacterial civilization history. It was confirmed during our last fight He has overcome the technical barriers to the integration and application of magic and science. According to his research direction, it is speculated that he may have begun to research technologies that are enough to destroy the earth's ecosystem. This time, the kingdom spent all its resources to build the mobile weapon 'Death Star'. It is used to neutralize the attack of the pathogenic bacteria Constantine!"
"Bacteria?" Wu Ming nodded absently: "To put it simply, there is a crazy extraordinary creature who has mastered a very dangerous pathogenic bacteria by overcoming technical barriers, and he is also preparing to use this pathogenic bacteria for biological attacks, and even Attack the entire earth’s ecosystem?”
Four slender and long mechanical arms stretched out from the small holes on the surface of the metal ball. The metal ball stood in Wu Ming's palm like a human. Then an elegant and easy-going voice corrected: "Constantine is not planning to use pathogenic bacteria to carry out the attack." Biological attack, but he is a pathogenic bacteria, and now he is preparing to use his own technology to launch an attack on the earth and you."
When Wu Ming heard these words, his expression was like this: 0_o
"Are you trying to make fun of me?"
This was Wu Ming's first thought, because he really couldn't imagine how a bacterium, and also a pathogen, could acquire self-awareness. According to what Metal Ball said, this pathogen seemed to be an incredible genius, although Wu Ming didn't know. How powerful is the integration of science and magic? But judging from the settings in most works where science and magic are incompatible, this genius pathogen is probably a figure who created a new era.
At this moment, Wu Ming even felt that he might be worse off than a... bacterium.
When the elegant and easy-going voice in the metal ball repeatedly emphasized that he was not joking, Wu Ming realized that his life for so many years might have really... been lost to a bacteria.
"It's unimaginable...that a bacterium actually possesses intelligence..."
Wu Ming thought that he had just stepped into the extraordinary world. The extraordinary creatures he had seen so far could be counted on both hands, and he was far from being knowledgeable. However, it is influenced by the fantasies and imagination of various creators in human society such as comics, novels, movies, games, etc., and the foundation of various extraordinary worlds that I have been hanging on the intranet of the Lucky Ancient God Office these days. Knowledge, Wu Ming felt that his theoretical knowledge could at least give him a passing grade.
You can understand that after Wu Ming supplemented his theoretical knowledge and was mentally prepared to deal with extraordinary creatures such as vampires, werewolves, mechanical life forms, and necromancers, what appeared in front of him was How do you feel when you are... well, a group of (?) bacteria?
To be honest, it was only when he was playing Plague Inc. that he came up with the idea of 'How terrible it would be if bacteria and viruses were intelligent and could control their own evolution and degeneration like playing games...'.
"What's the matter? All of us are intelligent bacteria with self-awareness!" The metal ball's four mechanical arms danced.
Wu Ming held his forehead and sighed, feeling that his head hurt even more: "..."
"In short, we must first repair the weapon system of the 'Death Star', at least the key weapons that can neutralize the attack of the demon scientist Constantine. As for the anti-Constantine shell armor, power engine, etc., we can repair it later. Not too late." The metal ball jumped from Wu Ming's hand to the ground, and it used its slender limbs to start picking up the scattered parts one by one: "Fortunately, the communication system was not damaged with the impact and we can still contact the country for support. I hope Can Constantine be captured before his research is completed..."
"Big guy, you have to come and help too!"
Having said this, Wu Ming could only sigh and pick up the metal parts on the ground with the metal ball. The anomalous object of this emergency mission has been completely stuck so far. According to the 3D map, the anomalous object is located in this circular area with a radius of 300 meters. The time flow disturbance caused by each use is in the circular area. The center of the area is where Wu Ming is now, but according to the results of the large-scale scanning of the auxiliary device, no abnormal time flow or time distortion has been detected in the surrounding area with a radius of at least one kilometer. Based on the phenomenon, combined with the previously monitored usage records, most of the abnormal objects he was looking for were passive objects.
So far, the office's classification of anomalous objects is basically divided into two types: active and passive. The former is an anomalous object that can continue to release extraordinary power to affect the real world and ordinary people even if no active operation is performed. This This kind of abnormal object, like some ferocious extraordinary creatures, often looks menacing and dangerous, but in fact it (or they) can be controlled by the Lucky Ancient God Office as soon as it appears, and then novices like Wu Ming can do it The operator can perform emergency teleportation according to the marked point, carry a weapon and give it a physical anesthesia like justice from the sky, and then pack it back and seal it properly.
The latter one, which is what Wu Ming is facing now, is a bit difficult to deal with. Passive abnormal objects basically do not actively release extraordinary power. In most cases, they are in a state of being harmless to humans and animals, and are different from ordinary objects. There is basically no difference. These passive abnormal objects will only produce extraordinary effects when they are 'used' by people or other living beings.
This kind of abnormal object is often hidden deeply. When no extraordinary power is generated, even the monitoring station of the Lucky Ancient God Office can only determine that there may be abnormal phenomena in the area. As for what the specific abnormal object is and where it is, you have to It's up to the office staff to make their own decisions.
This is exactly why Wu Ming was willing to stop the emergency task at hand and run to pick up parts for the metal ball. The original emergency task had no clues that could be continued, and the Constantine they mentioned happened to be It may endanger human civilization and the earth's ecosystem.
So Wu Ming made a judgment and decided to deal with the troubles faced by the metal ball first.
