I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 93: Chapter 89 Ancient Times Artificial Intelligence?!



Chapter 93: Chapter 89 Ancient Times Artificial Intelligence?!

"The laws of physics are always effective, Ice and Fire, can you endure it?"

"Buddy, if there's one thing I have, it's time!"

With that thought, Lu Yuan began to prepare for the task at hand.

First, he rummaged through the piles of garbage and found several pieces of tungsten alloy to build a simple stove.

That's the good thing about picking through trash.

Whatever materials you want, you can always find them.

These tungsten alloys have a melting point above 3000 degrees Celsius, so there's no need to worry about them melting in the flames.

Then he started to fiercely burn the Black Gem!

"Da, da da!"

The metal ball indeed possessed its own intelligence and seemed to understand Lu Yuan's method, though it was unclear what it was trying to express.

"Can you understand my method?"

"Da, da da~"

"Can you understand what I'm saying? If you can, hop to the left. If not, just jump around randomly." Lu Yuan gestured with his hands. Well, he only had one hand, so he was just waving it around carelessly.

After a while, the thing actually rolled over to the left!

Lu Yuan was stunned.

"Have you been sticking to the Donkey-headed Monster just to sound an alarm?"

"Da da da!!"

"How many years have you stuck to it?"

"Da da da~" The little round ball hopped up and down rapidly, countless times.

"Comrade, you've had a tough time too. Without your warnings, I would have had a hard time defeating the Donkey-headed Monster. I want to express my sincere thanks to you here," Lu Yuan habitually praised as if conducting business.

And he truly meant it, because this thing really had been a big help.

"Da da da da da!" The little round ball kept making noise.

Since this object was intelligent and a sworn enemy of the Donkey-headed Monster, Lu Yuan felt much more at ease.

"If a crisis arises, it should warn me... I'll also be careful, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

After all this, Lu Yuan took out the Communicator to contact Humans, wanting to boast about his fierce achievements. After all, this time... he was genuinely proud!

Riches gained in foreign lands are like brocade worn in the night!

Then...

He froze on the spot.

On the screen of the Communicator, there appeared a black palm print!

It was covered with a substance like corpse fluid.

It was stinky.

He hadn't had a chance to check when he collected the metal ball, and now he noticed the blinking indicator light, which had long been extinguished...

Lu Yuan's pupils dilated, his heartbeat quickened, and he frantically pressed all sorts of buttons. Even after exposing the Communicator to the sun for quite some time, the indicator light did not come back on.

Pioneer's Eye: "A Civilization Management Device developed by a certain powerful civilization, used to monitor various data of this civilization and also has some communication capabilities."

"Due to strong Mind interference, all functions have been completely damaged."

"Perhaps you need to buy a new Communicator. You're probably not going to be able to fix this one."

"Damn Donkey-headed Monster!"

Lu Yuan howled, "Screw your damn mother!!!"

In that instant, he felt as if his Soul had been lost. The breeze and the sunlight pierced through his body, taking his thoughts with them.

It turned out he hadn't defeated the Donkey-headed Monster, because that damned creature had discovered his true weakness and managed to break his Communicator without his noticing...

Lu Yuan was beside himself with anger, swearing non-stop.

"You son of a... why did you mess with my Communicator?"

"When did you break it?!"

Obviously, the Donkey-headed Monster had taken a moment during the fight to Instant Teleport there and break the Communicator.

After all, that dead donkey had completely overwhelmed him at one point.

Lu Yuan sat on a rock, hopelessly pressing buttons, but no miracle occurred.

The dusky sky was obscure and dark, the sun, as usual, set, taking the day's hopes with it.

This subtle sense of disappointment was more painful than losing an arm.

"Damn Donkey-headed Monster..."

It took Lu Yuan a full hour to convince himself to accept this human tragedy.

The reason he didn't grieve longer was that he thought of a reason to convince himself: such metal ball Communicators seemed to be a common feature of the relics of great civilizations.

"All I have to do is find another relic of civilization, dig out one such device, and maybe I can get back in contact... Well, that's that then."

Lu Yuan repeatedly persuaded himself, remembering the idea of "collecting trash from other civilizations," and strangely felt a bit excited and throbbed, not so sad anymore.

He shouted loudly, venting his anger on the Black Gem, plucking it out with tongs from the fire, and throwing it into cold water.

"Sizzle!" A large amount of steam rose, creating a thick fog.

He clamped the gemstone out of the water, placed it on flat ground, and hammered it brutally with a sledgehammer several times.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The black gem was knocked directly into the concrete pavement.

Due to having only one hand, Lu Yuan felt numbness in his palm from the shock, lost his balance, and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing that the black gem was undamaged, he didn't lose heart and once again tossed it into the stove to roast.

"Come on, let's see how long you can last under Ice and Fire."

Just then, the little round metal ball the size of a marble, sticking to the communicator, began to click, "tap, tap-tap" rhythmically.

Then it hopped onto the Superior dagger, making a "tap-tap-tap" sound.

It seemed somewhat urgent.

"Comrade-in-arms, what do you want me to do?" Lu Yuan picked up the dagger cautiously.

But the other party couldn't talk, just kept sticking to a certain spot on the communicator, constantly "tap-tapping."

"Do you want me to drill a hole for it to repair this thing?"

Moved by an impulse, Lu Yuan quickly followed the little ball's guidance and drilled a small hole with the dagger.

The little round ball drilled into the communicator.

Immediately after, a variety of noises came from inside, as if a drill was wreaking havoc within.

Lu Yuan waited anxiously for quite some time; his heart was filled with complex emotions and some anticipation.

After more than half an hour, the communicator emitted a bizarre noise, yet one that was comprehensible, "Unknown civilization's warrior, please make this hole a bit bigger for me."

Lu Yuan nearly failed to react, at one point thinking he was hallucinating.

He had been talking to himself all along.

For a very long time, he hadn't heard a word from any intelligent creature.

"Are you the one talking? The little round ball?"

Inside, the voice spoke again: "Unknown civilization's warrior, please make this hole a bit bigger for me!"

"Awoo!" Old Wolf heard the voice too, ran over to look, drooling onto the floor.

After several seconds of thought, Lu Yuan used the dagger to enlarge the hole a bit more.

He kept a straight face, trying hard to maintain the serious expression befitting of a human.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say he was now a bit nervous because the little round ball was something he couldn't understand as well.

He didn't know whether he should hope for this thing's intelligence to be higher or lower?

Ancient Times artificial intelligence?

Moreover, what did this scene represent?!

It signified the first encounter of humans with an alien civilization!

As the highest leader of the 18th human civilization, Lu Yuan, he represented the face of his civilization.

It was a giant leap for humankind, and a giant leap for me, Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan cleared his throat and with a serious tone befitting a diplomat, he said, "Are you repairing this? I'm very grateful, unknown civilization's comrade-in-arms, I indeed need it a lot."

"If you can fix it, you will be a hero to my human civilization, earning the deep friendship of the 18th human civilization."

All the noise from within the large ball suddenly ceased!

It became eerily quiet.

Lu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling an ominous sense of foreboding.

"Warrior of human civilization, I cannot understand the mysteries of this machine. Its intricacy is beyond my comprehension," it said.

"I only noticed that this device was broken, and so I requisitioned a part to allow me to speak, but I accidentally damaged more components. It is now beyond repair."

"You possess a noble integrity and broad-mindedness; you wouldn't blame a reliable comrade for this, would you?"

Lu Yuan's blood pressure soared, and he almost rushed over to strangle this overly familiar creature.

My communicator...

Now there's not even a chance to repair it!

He forced himself to remain calm, "The words you speak are not of human language; why can I understand them?"

"I utilized one of its horn devices, which included some Extraordinary Power, enabling barrier-free communication across species."

"This is a built-in function of the communicator."

It took quite a while for Lu Yuan to restrain his nearly boiling brain, consoling himself frantically, "The communicator was already broken anyway, no big deal, I'll just find another one later."

His demeanor unyielding, he stared at the communicator, his face devoid of any emotion, just staring fixedly.

There was no more sound from the creature inside.

"Then come out," Lu Yuan finally said, as he chiseled the hole wider with the dagger.

The inside of the communicator indeed contained an incredibly complex mechanical structure, along with several black boxes that were a mystery.

This technological artifact was something he could not possibly repair.

"Tap-tap-tap~"

The little round ball drilled out of the hole, trailing something like an electrical wire behind it.

The end of the wire was a speaker, and various other assorted parts were haphazardly stuck together, with all sorts of screws and metal shavings continuously falling to the ground.

[Even the eye of Pioneer's Eye didn't know what these assembled parts amounted to. It only knew they included a camera, a speaker, and an energy storage device.]

A cyberpunk essence rushed towards him.

Even stranger, this clump of parts... looked like a... cat?

A cat made of a bunch of parts?!

The scene was indeed a bit bizarre!

And that metal little round ball was right at the heart of the big pile of parts.

It started scratching as if it were a cat, with metal pieces clattering to the ground, and eventually, even the speaker fell off.

Then it reconnected the speaker and let out a peculiar sigh, "Hoo... wonderful!"
