The core quieted down, but Lulunaka had no intention of heaving a sigh of relief.
This was just an emergency measure. If it weren't for the fact that the old body she left behind could still be used, it probably wouldn't be so easy. For her, this matter was a little easier now, built on the sacrifice of her other self.
"The burden on this body is too heavy. I can't hold on for too long."
The other Lulunaka raised the metal skeleton hand and opened and closed it in front of Lulunaka. It seemed to be a little difficult for it to move.
Lulunaka knew the condition of her body very well.
"Then let's make use of the trash. Hurry up and put your last bit of use to use, old goods."
"To be able to scold oneself, this is probably an absurd thing."
"No, self-deprecating is something that any intelligent life can do. I'm just a little different. It's a good experience to be able to scold myself face to face."
"Probably only a lunatic would do that."
"My brain has always been different from everything in this world. No matter if it's alive or dead, you won't be able to find anything similar to me."
Lulunaka laughed, then reached out and knocked on her head. "But it's hard to say whether I have a brain or not. Probably no one knows."
"Don't I know?"
"I like to answer my own questions. This is something that even a lunatic can't do. But for me, it's a piece of cake."
"That's because you're too bored."
The two didn't chat for long. It was just a break after a temporary "work".
Lulunaka didn't think that the thing in front of her could be completely settled by just knocking on its shell a few times.
Her purpose of coming here was not to "pacify" the restless core, but to turn it off.
But turning it off was not something that could be done with simple and crude means.
It was not something like porcelain that could be destroyed with a simple and crude hammer. If she did that to the thing in front of her, then the area around the King's Castle, or even the easternmost part of the Euran Continent and the adjacent Yilan Continent might be blown up into the sky.
If Lulunaka really did that, then she did what the greatest magician couldn't do. It could even be said that she easily did what the gods couldn't do in the past.
The so-called creation of heaven and earth was nothing more than that.
But Lulunaka was not a moody so-called god. She came here to solve this problem.
"After calculating the time, this reactor has been maintained for a long time. It's so long that even the ashes of its creator can't be found."
Lulunaka's hand slid on the polygonal metal surface. "It's been a long time … so long that time has become blurry."
"After living for so long, it's easy to become as pretentious as now. I'm a little embarrassed." Another Lulunaka said.
"Isn't this good?
It's better than living with a straight face. Think about the past me … Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed. I can't wait to bury my head in the sand. "
"That's indeed a very embarrassing past, but it's something that has happened. I can't erase it from my memory."
Another Lulunaka continued, "But if this memory is deleted, it's also a way."
Another Lulunaka didn't speak anymore. Her attention was all on the polygon.
Lulunaka didn't continue to talk to herself about such boring things. Her eyes also returned to the core.
The reactor calmed down for the time being, but this is only temporary.
A long, long time ago, she tried to repair it. As a result, she stayed here. She had the strongest and most durable body, but she ended up in this horrifying state.
As a result, the reactor was repaired. At least it operated steadily for a long time. Until now, it had become a treasure of some people, some organizations, and even a country.
This reactor was only temporarily safe, but it didn't mean that it would always be safe.
There was no machine that could move forever or not be damaged, no matter how incredible or miraculous it was.
Life would eventually pass away, and lifeless inorganic things would lose their function and form one day.
Lulunaka believed that even dead things would die, and the reactor in front of her was something that was about to die.
But there were various ways to die. Lulunaka didn't want it to die in an exaggerated and gorgeous way. If so, this land would no longer exist.
"I think it's better to turn it off." Lulunaka said.
"That's what I originally planned."
The other Lulunaka continued, "I still remember the original slogan — safe and harmless clean energy, never stopping, never failing, there can be a sun underground …"
"It's just a slogan. How can there be something completely harmless?
Even something as warm as fire can be burned if it's not used well. "Lulunaka said.
Nothing was absolutely safe. But in that era, people who heard this slogan believed it without a doubt.
And they indeed believed that this was right, because this thing that was claimed to be eternal had indeed lasted for a very, very long time. There were no risks, no signs of exhaustion, and it was an inexhaustible source of energy … There were indeed some disputes over the use of energy, and some conflicts had broken out, but those were only small waves that could not cause a big storm, just a small interlude.
Whether it was supporters or opponents, they all enjoyed the benefits of this endless energy.
Perhaps it was because of this that people became numb, and in the end, there were such tragedies and accidents.
Intelligent life, even if it had been using fire for thousands of years, would be burned by the fire because of negligence.
If this mistake of playing with fire was magnified …
That would be a hellish scene.
While recalling the past, Lulunaka's hand had reached into the blue core and took it out.
"Life is such an interesting thing."
Lurunaka muttered to herself, "For the old humans, the deadly source of radiation has become the key to evolution for reptiles and other creatures. It has also become the source of power for other life forms … The corpses of the old era have become the fertilizer for the growth of the new era."
