Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 43 "The Fake Lanwei"

The variables of the Star God?

Schwarzkopf's red-glowing eye flashed.

Clara peeked out from behind Schwarz.

Even the youngest child in the lower district can understand the significance of the term "Star God".

Yun Zhixiao, who always excels at using someone else's power to intimidate others, is just like a fox.

Besides, he wasn't entirely wrong. He could ask Lan for help anytime, and as long as it wasn't too outrageous, Lan would generally grant his requests.

For a moment, silence fell over the surroundings, and no one spoke.

However, the silence did not last long.

"Big brother, are you the Star God?"

Clara, for some reason, suddenly asked.

She had no concept of the Star God, only that it was a powerful being, and that the builders of Beloborg worshipped the Star God of Preservation.

Therefore, she believed that Yunzhi was a star god.

But Yun shook his head: "My relationship with my lord is still very good."

Putting everything else aside, there's still some goodwill involved in hiring the Imperial Bow and Arrow.

Schwarz's gaze fell on the fragment in the cloud's hand:

"Searching the database, the source was confirmed as a weapon fragment of a certain star god."

And that was the end of it.

Wait a minute, is your database really that inadequate? You can't even tell us which star god it is?

That doesn't make sense. Yalilo-6 has only been isolated from the world for a little over 700 years. The company has even been here before. Surely they know about the hunting expedition.

Schwarz spoke again: "Calculation results: You possess power approaching that of a Star God."

The calculation is correct; among the messengers, he is indeed the closest to the Star God.

But I still feel so miserable.

She silently shed a tear for her lord, then retrieved the fragment: "As you can see, I can invoke the Star God. Does that mean I'm qualified to be a variable in your calculations?"

Schwarz did not answer immediately.

Perhaps it's because the power of the Star God is indeed immense and difficult to calculate, or perhaps it's because he truly cannot calculate it.

Yun is very patient.

Clara stepped out from behind Schwarz: "Big brother, Mr. Schwarz wants to protect the Lower District."

This was an instruction given to him by the city builders long ago: even if the lower level could only survive for one millisecond longer than the upper level, Schwarzro would protect this place.

He had absolute confidence in his calculations, and minor differences could not affect the answer.

However, the data is subject to change.

For example, Yunzhi has now changed this data.

"Or, let me ask you another way: do you know what a stellar core is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yunzhi seemed to hear a strange "buzzing" sound coming from Schwarz's head.

Just like the electrical noise from the Black Tower doll that malfunctioned when we were at the Black Tower space station last time.

The fact that they reacted so strongly to this doesn't seem like something that's not in the database.

"A star core?" Clara tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Clara has never heard of this."

Yun Zhi smiled and said, "You really don't know this, but Mr. Schwarzroth must know it, and quite well, right?"

"Unauthorized discussion of the star core is prohibited!" Swallow's tone became somewhat urgent. "You have touched upon the secrets of this world, secrets that no human should know."

Danheng understood the information he revealed: "As expected, Schwarzlo knows about the Star Core, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing."

"When I soared through the stars with my lord, I saw many star cores. Just because the humans of this world don't know the secrets doesn't mean we don't know them either. We have ways to deal with star cores and can tell us their locations," Yun Zhi immediately followed up with another question.

Since they know about the Star Core, it means that the higher-ups in the upper zone also know about it, and the Great Guardian must also know about it.

Leaving aside Cocolia, what did the City Builders do when they first came into contact with the Star Core?

Schwarz refuted Cloud's request: "Throughout recorded history, humanity has attempted to make contact with the star core several times, and without exception, they have all sought to possess the substance for their own private purposes."

I understand. The builders had no way to deal with the star core, which is why the cold wave has been raging until now.

"Builder's Order: Any attempt to make contact with the Star Core will have serious consequences... But the calculations regarding Cloud: Cloud is capable of destroying the Star Core."

Yunzhi was not surprised that Schwarz had such contradictory thoughts.

When it comes to Star Gods, even robots have to think carefully about the pros and cons.

To get robots to calculate variables, verbal promises and empty promises are not enough; tangible results must be presented.

Therefore, Yun Zhicai handed over the fragments of Lan's arrow, letting Schwarz calculate it himself.

Within the residual power of Lan's arrow, Schwarz calculated another possibility. Therefore, he was conflicted, as he wanted to carefully compare his latest findings with the [Preservation] principle that he had always firmly believed in.

Yunzhi understood what he was going to do.

There's no need to give up asking for help because of so-called "self-esteem." "Borrowing power from others" isn't always a derogatory term, especially since Lan is very willing to help him.

Schwarz was caught in a state of confusion and hesitation, while the computer continued to run at high speed, calculating the possibilities of the future.

The sheer volume of data caused him to malfunction, with sparks crackling and humming.

Clara became anxious: "Oh, Mr. Schwarz! I'm sorry, big brother, I need to take Mr. Schwarz away first."

She was going to repair and maintain Schwarz.

Yun Zhi nodded: "Okay, but I hope to see him again. I think everyone in this place wants their hometown to get rid of the cold wave and the rift as soon as possible, even the robots."

Clara lowered her head and thought for a moment.

She was wondering what she should do.

She was raised by robots; Mr. Schwarz is her family, teaching her and protecting her.

She understood Mr. Schwarz's desire to protect the Lower District, but if there really was a way... to eliminate that "Star Core," would everyone be able to survive?

"Clara will talk to Mr. Schwarzman properly."

Finally, the girl in red raised her head and said firmly, "I hope everyone can unite like family; this is Clara's wish."

The girl's wish was simple, but it contained the most beautiful aspirations.

Clara didn't want to see conflict or sacrifice, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Swallow to find a way to stop the fight between the miners and the vagrants.

However, Yun's views were too scattered. Now, when he heard Clara say "unity like family," all he could think of was the choir of "harmony."

We've gone off on a tangent again.

Clara left with Swallow; she was quite responsible for her young age.

After they had walked away, another person's voice came from beside him:

"Zhi, you convinced him so easily?"

The question lingers in the mist and fog on March 7th.

Dan Heng explained to her helplessly, "If you use the Star God as a variable, then any computer's calculation will be biased towards your plan."

Xing raised her hand to her chin and asked, "What if he ultimately doesn't believe me?"

"He has no choice but to believe it. If he doesn't believe it, at most he'll continue to blockade the lower area. If I'm not believed, at most I'll just wait for Lie to come and tell me the exact location, and then I'll ask him to shoot an arrow at the star core."

Yun Zhi spread his hands: "Learn from this, little star, my method never gets old."

When it comes to the stars, even the wise and learned would first look at which star has a bright future before making any calculations, let alone Schwarz.

Xing: But I can't learn it.

Even Dan Heng couldn't tolerate Yun Zhi's Versailles-like behavior anymore: "Only you among us can ask the Star God for help at any time."

Stop showing off, we know you have a powerful backer.

Yunzhi: "Hey—"
