V2/Chapter 39: I have received professional training
'Is it hallucination caused by staying up late?'
This was Einstein's first reaction.
She had seen photos of Ai Yue on the intranet. Although most of them were secretly taken from the side, she could recognize that the person in front of her was not a fake. What's more, Dr. Mobius, beside him could also prove his identity.
'But why is the real Ai Yue here? Aren't they going to attend a science and technology exchange meeting?'
Einstein, who had endured for two days, obviously didn't know that things had changed. But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't think that someone like Ai Yue would appear here.
"Hello?" Seeing Einstein's expression constantly changing but no response, Ai Yue couldn't help but speak again.
"Oh, hello, hello." Einstein finally came to her senses at this time and immediately held Ai Yue's hand with both hands, shaking it continuously, as if to confirm the authenticity of the scene in front of her in this way, "My name is Nikolai Einstein, you can just call me Ein!"
(TL: What Tesla and Einstein fusion?)
Noticing the glance from Mobius, Einstein realized that she had shaken hands for a little too long. She quickly withdrew her hand and began to look around the room: "Dr. Mobius, hello too. Um, you can just sit anywhere!"
After saying this, she felt a little embarrassed. After all, the laboratory was a mess, where was there a place to sit casually?
"Don't worry about these little things," Ai Yue didn't care, "Let's get straight to the point—I'm very interested in your project, can you let me take a look?"
"Are you interested in the armed doll?" Einstein's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she quickly withdrew from the data space and showed Ai Yue the detailed data of the armed doll, "Please take a look at it!"
She didn't seem to be on guard at all—what a joke, would Dr. Ai Yue covet a project of this level? Don't underestimate him!
After giving her seat to Ai Yue, she stood aside obediently, like a student handing in her homework to the teacher for correction. If an uninformed person passed by here, they would probably think that Ai Yue was the leader of this laboratory and Einstein was his assistant.
Faced with Einstein's warm hospitality, Ai Yue did not hesitate to browse through it directly. From the basic design concept to the structural drawings, and then to the final driver, Einstein really revealed everything about the armed doll to him.
"Um, Dr. Ai Yue?" Looking at Ai Yue, whose expression did not change at all, Einstein could not help but ask, "Is there any problem with my project?"
"Be more confident. You're not defending your graduation thesis." Mobius sighed. "I remember you, Ein. You didn't act like this when you faced me, did you?"
"That's different, Dr. Mobius," Einstein said seriously, "Do you really think that you and Dr. Ai Yue are equal?"
Mobius couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You're talking a little too much."
Of course, she knew that what Einstein said was true, but it was still difficult for her to remain calm when someone said it directly to her face.
Come to think of it, when she used to judge others recklessly, they probably had the same idea. But Mobius at that time certainly could not have imagined that one day a genius unimaginable to humans would suddenly fall from the sky like a meteor and smash her pride to pieces.
"It's like this, Ein." Ai Yue quickly finished reading the entire content, so quickly that Einstein felt that this person was perfunctory. "Next, I want to say something. Don't be afraid, okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm a scholar and I'm not afraid." Einstein nodded, ready to be criticized.
"Okay, then," Ai Yue connected the Prometheus extension to Einstein's computer. The nanorobot-made body that could change its appearance at will attracted Einstein's attention again. "I'll play a video for you."
Under Prometheus's operation, a new picture soon appeared on the screen—it was countless Honkai beasts wandering in the ruins of a city.
"Is this... Australia?" Einstein quickly deduced the location in the picture from various details and couldn't help but look at Ai Yue in confusion, obviously not understanding why Ai Yue wanted to show her this.
Could it be that he was telling her that armed dolls would hardly be useful in the face of a large number of enemies?
Soon, accompanied by the low roar coming from the video, Einstein understood the true meaning of this video.
As the camera gradually zoomed out, a huge shadow completely enveloped the herd of animals.
Honkai Beast is not the protagonist of this video; the owner of the shadow is.
At first, Einstein thought it was just the shadow cast by the clouds blocking the sun, but she soon realized she was wrong because the roar became clearer and clearer, and she could clearly hear the sound of the engine and propeller.
That's not a cloud; it's a dark cloud made up of countless drones!
When Einstein realized this, the swarm of drones in the video had already dived towards the herd of beasts. The originally dense formation quickly dispersed during the dive. The whole process was like flowing water, as if it had been designed in advance through programming.
But Einstein is also an expert in this area. She soon noticed that these drones were able to perfectly avoid all obstacles on the path, and there would be no collision between drones. This was by no means possible through pre-input means. If there was no large control team behind the scenes to control these drones, then only artificial intelligence could achieve such on-the-spot performance.
However, a rough calculation shows that there are at least thousands or even tens of thousands of drones in the video, which basically rules out human control. But even for artificial intelligence, it is difficult to control so many drones so easily at the same time.
Even Einstein could not imagine what level of computing power would be needed to meet such complex computing needs.
However, the shock brought to her by the video was not over yet. As the drones dived, the upper and lower parts of many of the seemingly bulky drones actually separated. The upper part continued to maintain the flying posture, while the lower part fell to the ground. After just a few seconds, it transformed into a drone that could walk on the ground!
Although the "lower body" of these drones cannot fly, they have two modes of action: tracks and spider-like limbs. Even in extremely complex environments such as urban ruins, they can move quickly, and their speed is not much slower than that of flying drones.
Just like that, within just a few tens of seconds, the drone swarm completed a comprehensive blockade of the Honkai beasts. Whether in the air or on the ground, drones could be seen everywhere.
When all drone units entered their designated positions, the war—no, a one-sided massacre began.
