Cleaning up the Entropy Machina organization itself is much simpler than eliminating the subsequent impact it causes.
Although this organization has been completely dismantled by the virus code Bai Luan casually wrote, the "corpses" they left behind are still continuously affecting this planet.
If not thoroughly cleaned up, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't want to inherit Delmont's mantle and let the tragedy repeat.
As for the technology left behind by the Entropy Machina, Bai Luan carefully screened it, completely deleting the inhumane technologies from this world.
As for the other technologies, Bai Luan handed them over to Anti-Entropy. In Graeme's hands, these technologies will be dedicated to compensating for the losses caused by the Entropy Machina over the years.
And there are those robots infected with the virus.
Robots that haven't gained self-awareness are just tools; their quality completely depends on the people who use them.
The handling of these robots was quite a headache. Directly dismantling them would be too wasteful, but continuing to use them felt like being bothered by a murder weapon.
Moreover, although these robots, after being infected with the virus, were even purer than some human police officers, comparable to idealists, society is not a cradle for idealists.
The world is not black and white; many things cannot be understood by the logical circuits of a righteous police officer.
For example, if someone steals food to survive and becomes a thief, it shouldn't be the thief who gets caught.
Logical circuits alone cannot understand this point.
Bai Luan seriously discussed this matter with Graeme.
Ultimately, he still felt that dismantling these robots directly would be too regrettable. It would be better to keep them and incorporate them into the security teams of various regions.
Because with their inclusion, in future public safety, one less officer's sacrifice would be far more meaningful than dismantling them.
However, this also brings many problems.
Some police officers have been fighting against these robots for most of their lives. In their eyes, these robots are synonymous with evil forces.
Now that they have suddenly been recruited, it's impossible for these police officers not to feel uncomfortable facing them.
These prejudices and discomforts cannot be completely erased by technology all at once; they can only be gradually eliminated and smoothed out by time.
There is no other way besides this.
Although there were many difficulties, Graeme still decided to gradually promote the integration of these robots into the security teams starting now.
"Although it's difficult, if we don't start now, there will never be a day when it's finished. The sooner we start, the sooner it ends."
He believes that one day, with the efforts of Everyone, the adverse effects brought by the Entropy Machina will gradually dissipate.
The impression these robots represent in people's minds will also gradually change from the mechanical minions of the Entropy Machina to mechanical police officers maintaining public order.
Graeme's technology will also return to its original purpose—technology that existed to save his daughter.
In the future, this technology will not only save his daughter but also save more people.
After all, this is the true meaning of technology.
He hopes that in the days to come, humans can learn the purity of machines, and machines can learn the humanity of humans; let them learn from each other.
As for Delmont, everyone knew his fate; he would definitely die.
But dying after a trial and committing suicide with the chip in his brain after being cornered by Bai Luan represent completely different meanings.
For the planet Somatic, they needed the outcome of the crime boss being brought to justice and dying even more.
To clean up the mess left by the Entropy Machina, Graeme was incredibly busy.
But this time, he was happily busy.
Because he was finally busy for development, not for revenge.
A very long time had passed since Graeme encountered the accident that changed his life, but only now had he truly moved on from that event and embraced his own future.
By now, everything Bai Luan could help with had been done. The rest was entirely up to them.
It's all up to you.
Bai Luan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Things are pretty much done."
882, who was beside Bai Luan, nodded upon hearing this and said:
"For me, it was quite an adventure."
"Who remembers that I initially just wanted to use the Anywhere Door to send you and Stelle to Beta Star?"
"Hmm... perhaps every wonderful story originates from such a muddled beginning."
882 thought for a moment, then added:
"Vacation is really a good thing."
"Haha... but I was so busy here, I didn't get to play much."
Bai Luan pondered for a while, then suggested:
"Let's rest here for one more day. We'll go back tomorrow."
"Alright, that way I can chat more with Ailu."
882 quickly arranged the day's itinerary.
"Before we leave, I'll teach Ailu how to use a phone, and then... ask for her contact information. It's a pity, the achievement of Beta Star's first intelligent machine befriending an alien has already been snatched by 756."
After the events on Somatic, 882 seemed to have become more lively.
Hmm... a step closer to being human.
"Bai Luan, what are you planning to do with your free day?"
"Me?"
Bai Luan smiled and said:
"I'm going to give a gift to each of the two Galaxy Rangers."
"What kind of gifts?"
"I won't say yet; I'm afraid you'll blurt it out."
"Alright then..."
882 waved to Bai Luan and left. He went to play with Ailu.
Bai Luan, on the other hand, took out his phone and contacted Hyperion.
Bai Luan: I want a game pod.
Hyperion: I'm not in Logos recently.
Hyperion: But you can give me the coordinates, and I'll have someone deliver it to you.
Bai Luan: No need, you get it ready, I'll pick it up myself.
Hyperion: Understood, I'll arrange... The next day, Bai Luan and 882 found the two Galaxy Rangers to bid them farewell.
"Leaving already? I wanted to invite you for a drink."
Boothill said regretfully.
"He's precious. It's rare to meet someone I click with. If I had known you were leaving so soon, I should have invited you for a drink yesterday."
"There will always be a chance."
Bai Luan smiled.
"Next time, for sure."
"Haha, it's a deal then, next time for sure."
Rappa also said goodbye to Bai Luan:
"I look forward to traveling together again, Master Yumo."
Bai Luan didn't say much, taking out the prepared gifts.
For Rappa, it was a special kunai that could be used to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Bai Luan briefly explained what the Flying Thunder God Technique was and also told Rappa the operating mechanism of the kunai.
Seeing Rappa's eyes light up, she was clearly very satisfied with the gift.
He believed it wouldn't be long before she could skillfully use this kunai to perform various cool combos.
As for Boothill, it was a five-pointed Star badge symbolizing the identity of a sheriff.
Boothill took the badge from Bai Luan's hand, a little surprised:
"I didn't expect a souvenir."
Bai Luan showed a meaningful smile, his face clearly showing "things are not that simple."
"Although it looks like an ordinary sheriff's badge, it's actually a spatial artifact with a considerably large internal space."
"Oh? This little thing is that powerful?"
"I also put a game pod inside."
"A game pod?"
Boothill laughed.
"Is this for me in case I get bored?"
"The game inside is very special. It can scan your memories and let you have a beautiful dream to make up for regrets.
Don't worry, the dream content is absolutely confidential and only accessible to you personally."
Bai Luan continued to explain:
"You occasionally need to recharge, right?
I've converted that game pod into a charging pod. Once the built-in battery compartment is full, it should be enough for dozens of recharges.
This way, you can play that game while you recharge, just like a normal person sleeping and dreaming, killing two birds with one stone."
"He's precious. Now I regret even more not inviting you for a drink yesterday."
"I told you, next time for sure."
Bai Luan shrugged indifferently, then soberly reminded him.
"But I must remind you, you need to remember that you've entered a beautiful dream, not woken up from a nightmare."
"Don't worry, I can tell the difference."
Boothill said solemnly.
"There are still so many lovely and old lovely people in reality who are lacking love, I can't bear to sleep forever."
Bai Luan nodded reassuringly upon hearing this:
"Then I'm relieved."
He pulled open the Anywhere Door, and the scenery of Beta Star appeared behind it.
882 first lightly jumped over the threshold, then waved goodbye to Rappa and the others from the other side of the door:
"Bye-bye!"
Bai Luan then walked into the Anywhere Door, holding the doorknob, and looked back at them:
"Goodbye, I believe we will meet again."
Then, he gently closed the door.
Boothill looked at where the Anywhere Door had disappeared, then lowered his head to look at the sheriff's Star in his hand.
A controllable beautiful dream?
Bai Luan, you really know a lot... He found a safe place, lay down in the hibernation pod, and entered the game Bai Luan spoke of.
In his dream, he woke up on the grass of his hometown, somewhat confused, taking his cowboy hat off his face.
The scene was as if he had fallen asleep on the grass of his hometown with the wind blowing, his cowboy hat covering his face.
"This is damn weird, it's like it's real. Huh?"
Boothill paused, then realized.
"Even this has been restored? This game is damn amazing."
Boothill put on his cowboy hat and looked down at his body... It hadn't been modified; it was a normal human body.
It seems this game can truly perfectly replicate his past.
If that's the case... "Dad! Dinner's ready!"
From afar, a voice drifted into Boothill's ears.
So familiar, so strange, so distant, yet so real.
Boothill turned around and looked at the small figure in the distance.
It truly was... exactly the same... Boothill stood up and quickly ran over, embracing his daughter.
His daughter was a little confused, looking at her father who was holding her tightly, and asked:
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Dad loves you, loves you very, very much."
She heard this and smiled sweetly in Boothill's arms:
"Hehe, I know."
