As Lin Yi surveyed the sea area where the island was located, he compared it with the incomplete map in the chip and found a small mark on it.
"...Heavy industry?"
The first two characters are illegible due to damage, but the last two characters are fine.
"Perhaps it is an industrial base."
Lin Yi, who came to this conclusion, became interested. The "subspace" information he had previously discovered in the chip proved that this extinct civilization had its own unique features. Perhaps some technology still remained in this industrial base. After all, according to the report, there was a high probability that humans still lived there.
Lin Yi quickly made a decision: "Eve, guard this place and eliminate any units that try to approach before I return."
"Yes, Father."
"Then……"
As he walked through layers of security checks to reach a certain facility, Lin Yi hesitated when faced with the hundreds of culture chambers laid out in front of him.
Which one to choose?
P.S.: My rational mind tells me I should finish this book or abandon it immediately, but emotionally I'm continuing to write.
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 132 Relics of Civilization
"W-what?! You're saying the governor is coming?"
"Yes."
"Should I make any preparations? But are there any hotels or anything around here? My cooking skills are barely passable... Ah, am I going to be fired for this reason?! No way—"
"Calm down, Admiral. The Governor-General is probably just passing through."
"how do you know?"
"……intuition?"
The Filipino was quite skeptical of the secretary ship's mysterious intuition, but when the figure that appeared on the horizon three hours later made him realize that the intuition of these ship women was sometimes quite reliable.
"Yamato, Illustrious, Enterprise... they're all rare ships, damn Europeans!"
While muttering curses under their breath about the Filipinos, they had no choice but to go forward at the secretary ship's urging. Without much conversation, they quickly learned the ship girls' purpose.
"Admiral...the Governor-General has instructed us to rest here."
Whether it's just my imagination or not, it seems that these ship girls, whose photos I usually only see on the forums with a few "European admirals," are quite unfamiliar with this title, and they, like me, have doubts and questions about the mysterious "Governor"...
"The governor has already gone to that island. We'll leave together after the investigation is complete."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Upon hearing this, Fei Zhouren breathed a sigh of relief. On one hand, he felt relieved that he didn't have to face this person who could easily decide his fate like he would face his superior. On the other hand, he was also disappointed that he couldn't meet this mysterious "governor".
He subconsciously looked in the direction of the island: "Anyway, it's good that nothing happened."

"It is indeed necessary to create custom-made flying devices."
Shaking his slightly dizzy head, Lin Yi reaffirmed his idea. After all, he couldn't freely use Yuhe's ability to fly long distances when the restricted area wasn't open. Considering the unexpected situation, he temporarily asked the main god to transfer several enhanced humanoids to the nearby sea area, but the physical burden was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, the slight discomfort disappeared by the time Lin Yi reached the vicinity of the target island. After having a few androids wait at the nearby naval base, Lin Yi landed directly on the island.
"Yes, there is indeed human activity very close by."
Catching the unusual scent molecules floating in the air, Lin Yi naturally turned to the center of the island. As he got closer, he could see many obviously processed tools, such as sharpened wood and cylindrical tree trunks, but there were still many metal fragments.
"It doesn't look like it was separated from flesh and blood?"
Lin Yi, who was holding a small piece of black metal in his fingers and analyzing its internal composition, seemed to have an epiphany: "It's either completely metallized, or it came from another tool."
Now, nearly three hundred years after human civilization has been extinct, what level of technology can the surviving humans in this world still master?
After stepping out of a dense forest, Lin Yi saw the answer.
"This is really..."
Should we express our feelings or mock others at this time?
As far as the eye could see, a massive building entirely constructed of metal occupied the entire interior of the valley. Just from its metallic surface, one could tell that the technological content it contained was by no means low. However, this alone was clearly not enough to evoke such emotions in Lin Yi. After all, he had already mentally prepared himself before standing here: even if he saw an alien spaceship, he would only choose to send out a humanoid army to smash it into scrap metal and then take it back for research.
The real reason is the people living on top of this massive metal building.
Perhaps noticing this unusual visitor, the village's "natives"... Lin Yi couldn't think of any other word to describe these "humans" who, despite living in a highly advanced technological civilization, built houses with trees and fences and wore mainly banana leaves.
It's normal for a single technological building or a group of primitive natives to appear in a certain area. However, when the two appear in the same area at the same time, a sense of disparity arises. If I'm not mistaken, these natives seem to be mining this building as if it were a mineral deposit. At least the dent in the center, which is full of hammer marks, proves a lot.
In terms of the outcome, Lin Yi had to admit that the "madman" who said he would destroy all the decaying traces of the old civilization in the chip more than two hundred years ago had succeeded. However, he probably did not expect that what was born in the end of his mission was not a second powerful civilization that inherited the legacy, but just a group of animals.
"God, can you decipher their language?"
[Incorrect instruction. This creature does not currently possess the concept of language and must communicate through actions.]
"That's it."
He abandoned the idea of getting more information from these natives, ignored the roaring actions of a few of the stronger ones, and walked directly to the front of the metal building. It was at this moment that a mechanical sound that had been dormant for who knows how long suddenly rang out.
[An unusual life form has been detected approaching]
[Scanning genetic information...]
[Information matching failed; intruder identified]
[Start the first level of cleanup sequence]
With the heavy hum of machinery, numerous gaps appeared on the rust-covered building surface, and one after another, multi-tube-shaped objects, some intact and some broken, were pushed onto the surface and aimed at this place amidst the screams of the natives who were terrified by this unprecedented change.
[Cleanup begins.]
The blinding flames instantly engulfed everything in front of them.

Naval Base No. 1787
"...I'm not exaggerating, but if you ask me which naval base around here treats ship girls the best, I'd say I'm second to none. If you don't believe me, you can stay here for a few days and see for yourself..."
With a polite expression, she faced the admiral who had been talking for almost half an hour. Although she was delighted to receive such treatment after being ignored and left in the incubation pod at the governor's mansion, she could never accept this invitation that clearly had a second meaning. Just as Yamato was about to decline for the sixth time, a shocking signal from a distant region caused her to suddenly lose consciousness.
"Ahem, if it really doesn't work out, I won't force you. My original intention was just to let all of us ship girls get together and have some fun... Hmm? Miss Yamato?"
"...Admiral of Naval Base No. 1787, please immediately dispatch your fleet to area X25741.51, Y12459.241 to eliminate the approaching Iron Beasts."
"what?"
Before Fei Zhouren could realize what was happening, the voice behind him startled him.
"Permissions confirmed. Doll number 095205 - Reputation receives the command."
Intelligent Conservation: Chapter 133 Level 9 Cleanup Sequence
Time goes back to five minutes ago.
The metal storm lasted for nearly three minutes until the last multi-barreled machine gun broke down due to overheating and aging parts. Gently flicking away the metal bullets held between his fingers, Lin Yi, whose entire body was covered in bone armor, looked once again with curiosity at the ruins of the old civilization that were gradually revealing their true nature.
[The first-level cleanup sequence has failed; the sequence level for the cleanup target has been increased.]
[Sequence calculation in progress... Incomplete calculation information, emergency calculation mechanism applied]
[Sequence Determined: Level 5]
[Grant Level 5 clearance permissions to induce information about sub-individuals]
Centered on the ruins, the signals that should have been invisible material reflected unusually beautiful patterns when they swept across the bone armor on the body's surface. The main god who captured these signals quickly converted them into text that Lin Yi could understand.
[Concentrate and annihilate the enemy]
"Centralization? What should be centralized?"
The question didn't last long. Almost at the same time Lin Yi had this question, the main god displayed a large number of red dots on his retina—encircling the island and covering the entire area within the search and perception range.
[With a 99.5% probability, the target is likely the Iron Beast.]
"...You don't need to emphasize that."
Not only the iron beasts in the sea, but also the few iron beasts on the island began to rush towards this place. Only the natives who were fleeing in all directions were unaffected.
"Let those humanoids block them."
Taking a step forward, Lin Yi had no intention of delaying any longer.
If it were just some outdated methods, Lin Yi would naturally be willing to crack them one by one, so as to ensure the integrity of the internal information to the greatest extent. However, since he had interfered with those iron beasts that were so numerous as to be almost terrifying, he could not continue like this. Putting aside everything else, Lin Yi did not intend to easily awaken those "interesting creatures" that Laplace mentioned, which were hidden in the deep sea and inland areas. He would at least be prepared before coming back.
"God, is it possible to forcibly break through this barrier?"
[Lacking the necessary information, forced information cracking would require more than 30000 hours]
"forget it."
He raised his right foot and stomped it down heavily.
"clang------"
The oscillating and distorted sounds carried far by the compressed air, and the constantly dissipating signals were momentarily affected and forced to stop. However, as the oscillation subsided, the system stabilized once again.
"It turns out to be here."
Without hesitation, Lin Yi, having detected the source of the signal, clenched his right hand and swung it at an unremarkable area on the building's surface.
"Clang—creak~~~"
The loud noise lasted for two seconds before turning into a distorted creaking sound. Then, amidst a piercing alarm, a slit was torn open in the black metal about twenty centimeters away, crushing the component that was flashing with electronic light below before the signal immediately disappeared.
Even so, the number of iron beasts attracted to the sea still exceeded ten thousand.
"Resolve it as quickly as possible and then retreat."
Just as they were about to expand the rift and enter, the previously subdued electronic and mechanical sounds rang out again.
[Level 5 cleanup sequence failed, initiating Level 6 cleanup sequence]
[Level 6 cleanup sequence lacks necessary components, Level 7 activated...]
[Level 8...]
The Level 8 cleanup sequence lacks necessary components; activate the Level 9 cleanup sequence.
Lin Yi, who thought it would be another "failure," continued his demolition work without a second thought, but soon noticed something unusual—
"Identify exclusion targets"
Suddenly raising his head, he met a pair of "eyes" whose internal pupils rotated like gears: "Ninth level cleansing sequence begins."

Ocean Center Base.
Waking from a dreamless "sleep," Eve found no figure she wanted to see in her field of vision, only the same cold colors filling the air. Even the familiar mechanical sounds around her ears irritated her, especially when she remembered that these sounds were for producing inferior products.
"...Are you there, Second Father?"
……
The only sound in the empty laboratory was the girl's voice, and naturally she received no response from anyone—unless they weren't human.
[Incorrect forms of cognition]
Why did Father manufacture those inferior products?
Not dwelling too much on the issue of the title, Eve turned to look at the cold, coffin-like incubation pods on the screen: "As long as Eve is here, that's enough."
【…】
"...What is the second father doing now?"
[Insufficient permissions to provide a response]
"Father..."
The brief exchange could not satisfy the ever-growing longing in her heart. However, her father's will was absolute, so she could not leave this place, just as she could not follow her heart and destroy those inferior products that would take away her father's "love".
"Father..."
Once again, I closed my eyes.
