Chapter 40: Golden Murdock (3)
The boundary between Eastern and Southern Babel.
Titan Tech’s secret laboratory, hidden among high-rises, was buried deep beneath the city’s underground.
The path to it was clogged with layers of security systems and checkpoints, and only special researchers were allowed to pass.
By special, it meant researchers born for this facility—those without a single AI Frame in their bodies.
The lone elevator to the lab felt like a time machine the moment you stepped in.
An elevator with no AI assistant?
And when it finally opened underground, what greeted the researcher wasn’t the present of Babel, but a scene from a hundred years ago.
Heavy, blurry monitors. Computers thicker than a human torso. Wires hanging from ceiling to floor.
It looked like someone had re-created a computer room from a history book.
There was only one reason for that.
One crucial component of Babel’s environment was missing.
AI Frames.
