978.The Regrets of Old Bach·The Mechanical Church and the Secret of Eden (page 2/2)
but they were wrong！
Both the understanding of Eden and the way of trying to cultivate a god are completely wrong..
So, may I ask you a question here about the hidden mysteries of Port Chardeau? What is there underneath this city?？
Was part of the Eden District hidden under your mechanical city?？
Or, let me ask more specifically..
Is Eden's hardware processor unit hiding beneath our feet? And that place has been occupied by the Mechanicus Church？”
Faced with Murphy's inquiry, Master Minx did not answer.
He just sat back in his chair and looked at Murphy with a complicated expression. After taking off his round glasses, he rubbed his eyebrows and said：
“generally correct！
It seems that you are indeed the legendary God of Creation. The biggest secret of Port Chardeau is revealed right before your eyes..
Well, there is indeed a hidden place of creation beneath this city. The location of Shardor University was precisely because the halfling sages discovered it and built the first brick here..
To be precise, it was my mentor, Professor Old Bach Gaslamp, the greatest mechanical pioneer in the Halfling civilization, who discovered all this..
To this day, I still don’t know where my mentor got the news, but in the second half of his life, he spent all his energy, wisdom and time on exploring that ruins, even for this reason Alienated us and his family..
Bach's resentment towards her father when she was young came from that stage..
It is no exaggeration to say that in the last period of my mentor's life, he was so crazy that he did not return from the underground even after his wife died. He stayed in the darkness and allowed anxiety and time to turn him into a madman..
I guess you must be doubting the origin of the Mechanicus..
Yes, that extreme organization was established by my mentor’s followers in his later years..
But they are not heretics！
They are just the embodiment of another engineering concept. My mentor is not the person who really created that concept. This pragmatic but uncomprehensive trend of thought already existed in the halfling society long before he was born. I The mentor just summarized it and formed the initial prototype of the Mechanic Church..
This was not for ambition or other purposes, but simply out of his despair and depression at the time..”
“despair？”
Murphy asked doubtfully：
“The story of old Professor Bach has also been circulated in other parts of the mainland. To be honest, I can’t understand why he became desperate after discovering the remains of creation.？”
“Because I can’t understand, because I can’t learn, because I can’t parse or even understand..”
Minx sighed.：
“For those who have spent their whole lives in the field of mechanical engineering and have made certain achievements, they all have their own pride and dignity. For us, no matter how difficult the problem is, it is only something that can be solved slowly and with time and ingenuity..
Therefore, we are never afraid of problems, but creation engineering is another concept, Your Excellency.
When you are outstanding in your field and stand at the top, and you suddenly find that the knowledge you have spent a lifetime accumulating is as humble as the light of rotting grass under the sun in front of the ruins of a long-dead civilization, you will also broken and desperate.
My mentor spent the rest of his life studying the ruins for decades..
He had already begun to try to solve those problems when the city was still a wilderness. When Port Chardeau became prosperous, his research still only lingered on peripheral problems..
Such a gap and heavy blow were enough to destroy the sanity of an old halfling, so he embarked on an extreme path. He no longer pursued deciphering the wisdom of the Creator, but instead sought to control those formed tools in order to try to take the wrong path..
For this reason, he often secretly traveled to the Songhai Empire in the last ten years of his life. Unfortunately, time is not generous to us halflings..
More than three hundred years of life are not enough for my mentor to find the answer to the final problem..
He eventually died underground in the city, breathing his last breath amidst the mourning of members of the Mechanicus Church. Until the last moment, he still held an unfinished record in his hand..
They once wanted to make the mentor into a marionette to give him endless time to solve the problem, but we cannot allow the mentor to end up like this..
What the old flywheel didn't tell you is that the reason why he was forced to leave Port Chardeau was precisely because during the operation to retrieve the mentor's remains, we used some quite radical plans, which directly caused the ground in the outer city to explode. Collapse, killing hundreds of people.
That was a decision made by the three of us together, but in the end Senior Brother Feilun shouldered the sin alone and was exiled from his hometown forever..
We owe him a lot.”
Minx told the story of the past with a look of helplessness and sadness. Then he rubbed his face a few seconds later and turned the topic back to the Mechanicus. He said：
“To this day, those pragmatic mechanics still occupy the underground ruins and continue the research of their mentor, but they still have not been able to open the door. No one knows what is inside the door. Perhaps as you said, it is the golden age Data-aware ontology hardware.
But I want to correct you..”
Minx said seriously：
“The "Spirit of Machinery" in the words of the Mechanical Church has never left Port Shardau. While the data consciousness named "Eden" follows you, supernatural events related to machinery will still occur in Port Shardau..
In other words, there may be more than one mechanical spirit.”
“impossible！”
Murphy immediately denied：
“Eden's main program is here with me, and Sharon, who was noticed by it, also proved this, so staying here may just be a backup. Wait! I see！”
The vampire lord suddenly narrowed his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the invisible data program staying beside him, and said：
“You were tainted, so you, like Avalon, separated and isolated your tainted data? In addition to your physical carrier, what is sealed in the underground ruins is also the part of the contaminated data that was separated by you.？
The Mechanicus Church has been trying to open the door under its guidance. Therefore, the second Mechanical Spirit is actually a data memetic program formed after the subspace contaminates the data, right?？”
Eden didn't answer.
But this silence represents some kind of affirmation.
This may be the reason why this low-key core AI has always hidden itself in front of Murphy. Just like other leftovers from the Golden Age each have their own problems, it has also left behind its own troubles in the past thousand years..
“You really gave me a big dick without saying anything.！”
Murphy scolded.
He did not continue to scold his portable AI.
What happened back then was not its fault. After confirming Murphy's existence, it came all the way to surrender as soon as possible, which proved its position..
Master Minx also realized something ominous from Murphy's words. He immediately stood up and said：
“So, do you want to go underground to expel that evil mechanical spirit?？”
“It's hard to say whether it's evil or not, but one thing is for sure, we can't let the Church of the Machine continue to try to open the door. That's a damn seal.！”
Murphy smelled a big problem. He moved his fingers and said in a serious tone.：
“You immediately summon the mechanical masters in the city to follow my foreign warriors to the sewers to stop the actions of the Mechanical Church. I need to make some preparations in advance..”
“Did you have a feeling something big was going to happen?？”
minks says：
“Need to contact help?？”
“Yes, ask for help.”
Murphy explains：
“In this situation, we must ask the Sentinel to take action. After all, we are not facing an enemy that can be harmed with a sword. It is time to show some technical skills..”
