978.The Regrets of Old Bach·The Mechanical Church and the Secret of Eden (page 1/2)
Murphy's anti-customer attitude made Master Minx a little at a loss..
Why.
You weird vampire！
You stole my things and used them for almost a year without a letter from you. Now that I am accusing you of not repenting, you have acted so openly. This has made the old halfling less confident. It seems that I am really that unscrupulous businessman who does not pay attention to after-sales service..
But if you think about it carefully, Murphy is really not to blame for the stolen goods..
After all, this fourth-generation core computing orb was originally stolen by spies from the Plantagenet Kingdom. It was supposed to be delivered to the short-handed marshal Loren, but it was intercepted by Murphy and the eldest lady on the way..
If I have to say it, this wave is actually a Robin Hood behavior..
Of course, both of them are people with status. They just laughed it off as this matter has happened in the past and discussing it now will only make people embarrassed. As for some details of the matter itself, there is no need to elaborate too strictly. At Murphy's request or request, Master Minx grinned and took the core orb. He took out a set of very sophisticated engineering items similar to a microscope from the drawer and began to carefully examine the inside of the core orb. The arrangement of psychic factors.
Murphy waited patiently and took a peek at the drawings that Master Minx had just modified..
He found that it was a design drawing of a walking machine. Minx had modified it into a war weapon similar to a walking tank, adding a gun barrel that could actually be used for shooting and a more efficient power system..
The most important thing is that this thing also has no crew compartment！
This made Murphy raise his eyebrows. He very much suspected that this was the inspiration that Master Minx got from the dragoons that would be used in defensive battles. After all, no matter how you look at this thing, it seems to be following the routine of the dragoons. , but according to Minx’s design, a special computing orb is placed at the core of this walking tank..
It seems that he does not plan to adopt the wetware core of the Dragoon, but is preparing to take the path of unmanned automated weapons..
With the engineering level of halflings, it is difficult but not impossible to make such a thing. In the past, it was only because traditional concepts restricted them from developing war weapons. But now that civilization is at a critical stage, those traditional concepts After being abandoned, at least the top halflings have begun to break away from the unrealistic peace illusion and begin to move toward pragmatic rearmament..
It seems that only the pressure of survival can make a race truly wake up..
“Peeping at other people's drawings without permission is a taboo for engineers, but considering that you are not a machinist, it is inconvenient for me to restrict you with industry rules..”
Master Minx fine-tuned the observation device in his hand, and asked in the halfling's sharp but not disturbing tone, and as slowly as an old man.：
“You are the first commander-in-chief on the continent to actually use self-driving walking machines for war. Although I do not agree with the cruel concept at the core of wetware, I think you are a true pioneer in this field..
So in your opinion, what is missing from this drawing of mine?？”
“Not strong enough firepower！
A main gun is not enough to deal with the scenarios it needs to face. According to our experience, when the walker steps onto the battlefield, it is mainly responsible for attacking and projecting firepower, so you need to add more destructive power to your weapon. module.
Such as flamethrowers, rapid-fire gun groups, high-voltage power grids, mechanical harvesting sickles, missile systems that can launch barrages remotely, or minelayers.”
Murphy rubbed his chin and said：
“In addition, since it is unmanned, the protection concept must also be upgraded accordingly. I don't know if you understand the concept of 'explosive reactive armor', but in my opinion, it is wrong to still use heavy steel to try to upgrade the defense. It's a boring and stupid idea. Since it is a weapon used for destruction, it must be used to its best advantage..
It is better to set a self-destruct mode for this thing. When it is completely inoperable and loses its combat effectiveness, it can set off a big firework for the enemy, and at the same time prevent the enemy from learning new war concepts from its remains..
There are many foreigners under my command who are very good at these. If you are interested, I would be happy to invite you to visit our arsenal in Transia and talk face to face with the master weapons craftsmen..
Of course, although I also think that the wetware core made by Old Flywheel is a bit cruel, from the perspective of us Transians, this posture of fighting after death is very consistent with our death philosophy, and the barbarians of Ice Bay have already sent out violent The priest went to Transia to learn this technique.
Their god wanted to see the berserkers unleash such pure rage even after death..
Therefore, I must tell you pessimistically that although the Mechanic Church’s outrageous pragmatism is cruel most of the time, in the foreseeable future, the Mechanic Church’s technology and ideas will inevitably be used in an increasingly unstable continent. A Catching Fire Starts a Prairie Fire.
This means that the orthodox mechanics headed by you must step up to catch up, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before they are eliminated by the times..”
Murphy looked back at Master Minx and said：
“This is also the purpose of my trip. Two of my important subjects were kidnapped by the Mechanicus Church forces in your city. I must rescue them before those guys hiding underground make them into marionettes..”
“Secret puppet? No, no, no, if they are just individuals with important identities but lack of power, they will not be made into marionettes by the mechanical sages of the Mechanicus Church. It will only be a waste of resources..”
Minx shook his head and said：
“I can send my disciples to go to the sewer with my letter, but I guess this matter may not be solved by a letter..
The Mechanicus is not a gang from the outer city. They are smart enough to realize the trouble caused by the diplomatic turmoil, but they still did it, which proves that they want to use the two girls to get in touch with the Transians..
To be precise, it’s you they want to see, or they want to confirm something about you..
I have some contacts with the Mechanical Church, and I have also joined their discussion meetings under a pseudonym. However, my status as a 'conservative heretic' among them does not have as much dignity as you think..
If you want to resolve this matter peacefully, you probably have to find my senior brother..
He still carries the title of 'former leader', and he also knows a lot about Port Chardeau's formidable sewer system, which is like a dragon's lair..”
“Old Flywheel can't come, he is at a critical juncture of learning.”
Murphy sighed and said：
“And with Old Feilun's extreme character, I don't think he would come here just for two girls who have nothing to do with him. After all, the knowledge of creation engineering in the last era is too precious, and he can't be here here. time to withdraw.
But I can probably guess what the Mechanicus wants from me..”
The vampire lord glanced at Master Minx, he coughed and said：
“Eden, block information exchange. I will discuss some more sensitive topics with Master Minx next..”
“Buzz”
The obedient operation of the invisible things caused the four observation and recording mechanical devices hidden in Minx's office to shut down in an instant. The office's defense devices were also forcibly activated, and steel protective windows were opened from the three windows. When it fell, the defense structure made of fine steel also stood up, temporarily blocking the entire office..
As the red emergency lights flickered, Minx's eyes widened. He looked around with an inquiring attitude, seeming to be looking for the invisible thing that bypassed the control center and enabled these devices..
“The Spirit of Machinery. The legend that has been circulating in Port Shardau for hundreds of years. Some people call it the 'Evil God', but others think it is a credible ally..”
Murphy said in a candid tone.：
“But in fact, Eden was only the core AI used to manage various mechanical data under the city and the Creator system in the last era, and it has been incomplete for a long time..
I don't know why it has been hidden in Port Chardeau for the past hundreds of years, but there is certainly something here that attracts it until my appearance reminds it of the mission it is supposed to fulfill. So leave Arrived at Port Chardeau and returned to me.
I heard that the Church of the Machine worships it as the prototype of the 'God of Machinery'.
