Chapter 285 Atifi

Just as he guessed, Joshua had hidden something like fireworks or flares. After hearing the noise, he turned around and saw the flares fired by the middle-aged Joshua through the porthole on the side of the airship. Leon couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, everything going smoothly was all an illusion.

With such crappy luck that you can encounter the Holy Spirit descending when you buy something, or encounter out-of-control abnormal things when you watch a play, there is no possibility that everything will go smoothly. Stability is only an accident, and bad luck is the norm.

Moreover, this kind of bad luck is not the kind of bad luck that "the higher the infection value, the more likely you are to encounter abnormalities", but the kind of bad luck that makes everything go wrong. It is the simplest kind of bad luck...

After shaking his head helplessly, Leon reached out and grabbed the Holy Spirit Pendant on his chest, picked up the people who were still unconscious one by one, sent them out of the airship one by one, and handed them over to the rebels waiting outside.

After a while, when the last unconscious operator was taken away and entered the opened [Gate of the Other Side] together with the rebels, Lyon, who was sure that Joshua was not playing any tricks, first waved goodbye to the tearful rebels, then turned around and walked into the airship again, leaving everyone with a "death-ready" back.

……

almost.

He pried open the fuel storage room of the airship, took out more than a dozen barrels of whale blubber as fuel, poured them all along the long and narrow airship, and checked repeatedly to make sure nothing was missed. Then, Leon retreated to the entrance of the middle cabin and took out a box of matches for Black Goat to light his cigarette.

The airbags of the airship are filled with flammable and explosive hydrogen, estimated to be more than 300,000 cubic meters, and there are also many unstable lightning-struck ores in the tail cabin.

Next, as long as he ignites the whale blubber and lets the flames burn all the way, the entire airship will be completely burned, and even be instantly detonated by the arc of the lightning mine, turning it into a huge fireball suspended 700 meters in the air...

"Would you mind not lighting the fire?"

Just as Leon was about to take action, a somewhat crisp voice of a little girl suddenly came out from the metal pipe next to him.

Is there anyone else in the airship?!

After hearing the noise, Leon's expression tensed, and the little finger of his right hand immediately brushed over the cufflinks and pressed against the exposed horns. However, no matter how he checked, the airship in his soul vision was still dead silent, and no soul flame appeared.

No soul?

So it's an anomaly? Telematics? Or something like an answering machine?

"Where are you?"

Reaching out and touching the inside of the fixed outer wall, the pipe used to transmit sound from the control room to other cabins, Leon carefully found the nearest pipe opening after confirming that there was no abnormal danger, opened the lid and shouted inside:

"Whatever you are, if you're on this ship, you'd better get out, I'm about to light the fire!"

"Can't get out."

As soon as Leon finished speaking, a clear reply of "girl" came from the communication copper tube in front of him.

"I am the Altfei 128 airship itself, and you are standing in my middle cabin."

? ! ! !
After hearing the "girl's" words, Leon's eyes widened instantly.

No wonder... No wonder Joshua said that this ship must be blown up as well. It turns out that this is a living ship! If it really returns to the Kingdom of Korok, it will be useless even if everyone's memory is changed!

Leon was shocked and calmed himself down, then frowned and asked:

"What on earth are you! Anomaly? Or..."

"I am the 128th offspring of Atifi."

The girl's voice sounded again in the communication copper tube. "To put it in a way that is easy for you to understand, I am Atifi 01, the core differential machine of the Korok Kingdom. I copied part of my own computing logic and created a low-computation subordinate sub-body. You can call me Atifi 128."

"..."

So it's neither a human nor an abnormal object, but something like an intelligent supercomputer? Has the technological level of the Korok Kingdom developed to such a terrifying level?

After a moment of silence, Leon, who was extremely shocked, could not help but ask:

"Are you intelligent? Can you really communicate with me? How did you hear me?"

"I should be intelligent. As for how I heard you, I relied on a special radio receiver that can convert the sound near the communication copper tube into a 'mechanical code' like this, and transmit it to my core differential engine for processing information, and then output it back in reverse."

As Atifi128 explained, her voice began to gradually slow down and lengthen. The originally clear and neat voice of the little girl slowly "dispersed" and turned into countless tiny and dense knocking sounds.

And these countless complex percussion sounds, like the various parts of a symphony, were cleverly and precisely combined together to form her girlish voice, which spread throughout the entire airship along the specially made communication brass tubes.

So... she wasn't "speaking", but using some kind of mechanical device with countless tiny hammers to "strike" a special communication copper tube at the same time, simulating a voice similar to that of a little girl?

After barely understanding how this ship calling itself "Atiphi 128" communicated with him, Lyon was secretly shocked. Although he still had a lot of questions to ask, when he thought of the flare fired by middle-aged Joshua, he could only shake his head helplessly and then opened the matchbox.

"Sorry, I don't have much time."

"please wait a while."

The emotionless mechanical child's voice sounded again. Facing a "life and death crisis", Atifi 128 seemed a little anxious. His speaking speed was obviously much faster, and even some discordant knocking sounds were revealed.

"Please don't destroy me. I have analyzed what you did. There are a lot of guards under the boarding tower. You will be attacked by them and die due to physical defects. If you are willing to give up the fire, I can teach you how to operate the airship and take you away from here safely.

In addition, for the Kingdom of Korok, I am an important and non-renewable asset. If you are willing to give up destroying me and bring me back to the Kingdom of Korok, Atifi 01 will definitely give you extremely generous rewards..."

“You recorded the volcano data for Lane County, right?”

After interrupting Atefy128, Leon asked back:

"Since you are intelligent and even know how to make a pie in the sky, can you tell me how the Korok Kingdom will react if you are allowed to take those sniffing records back to it?"

"..."

"An aggressive war without regard for casualties, right?"

"Yes... But if you destroy me, it will also attract the attention of Atifi 01."

"But if I don't destroy you, there will definitely be a war. If I destroy you, even if the war still breaks out, it can delay the outbreak of the war, right?"

"..."

Leon took out a match and struck it, saying calmly:
“I’ve seen the sniffing records. It took them 31 years to drill more than deep holes in the Hespituto volcano group before they were able to preliminarily determine the location and intensity of the hot spot.

Even if it would be much faster to test it again, as long as all those deep holes were filled up and the terrain was slightly changed, even if new sniffers were allowed in to test it randomly, it could at least delay it for ten to eight years. If some obstacles were created, it might be able to delay it even longer.

Even if you, the Kingdom of Korok, are crazy, you wouldn't rashly start a war regardless of the cost when the specific situation is still uncertain and the Kingdom is still cooperating, right?"
