988.Thousand Years of Misguided Path·Eden VS Recovery (Page 1/2)
“Land of creation, I'm back again.”
Deepest underground in Port Chardeau, in a certain underground space dug out, the scholar who arrived here by a simple mechanical elevator sighed with emotion..
When he stepped out of the elevator, the three sages of the Mechanicus Church in front of him bowed to him with humility..
That's a human and two halflings.
But they have all undergone quite complicated and terrifying prosthetic transformations. Among them, the human mechanic has transformed most of his body into a steam structure, and the only remaining left eye on his head has also been replaced with a steam structure. red prosthetic eye.
He wore a tattered robe to cover his abnormality, but he could vaguely see something abnormal like a curled arm moving behind the robe..
Two halfling mechanics take a more radical approach to self-transformation.
There is no flesh and blood on their bodies, and they are in the form of complete mechanical marionettes. Only the wetware core in their heads is still "original goods."”.
The flesh on these three people together is probably less than two taels..
“How long has it been since we last met?？”
The scholar looked at the three people in front of him with gentle eyes, and said with emotion：
“When I left, I never thought that we would see each other like this in the distant future. My dear old friends, after so many years, you are still fulfilling your duties and working hard for the common goal we set at the beginning..
Compared to all your efforts over the years, I feel like a coward hiding to enjoy life..
But our destinies have finally overlapped. Friends, I have glimpsed the ultimate power left behind by the Creator, and I now invite you with the greatest excitement to join this cause..
Steve, Marvin, and Eberson, what's your response?？”
“It's been a long time since anyone called our names, Bach.”
The tallest human mechanic let out a clanging laugh..
The mechanical prosthetic eyes under his robe flashed with cold light, scanning the old friend in front of him up and down, he said：
“Of course, just as you took us on this road to immortality in the first place, we are still willing to follow your wisdom and dedicate our strength to a greater cause. But before that, we should probably end this project of ours. A career that has taken two hundred years, only the last step is left.
We're about to open that door.”
The other two halfling mechanics also nodded repeatedly, representing their thoughts..
“That's why I'm here.”
The scholar waved his cane and said：
“With the help of the knowledge and power of the Creator, I finally awakened Lord 'Resuscitation'. We will eventually get the knowledge behind that door and use it as the key to open a more magnificent future. Come on, let us open that door..”
He waved his hand forward, and the surrounding high-ranking members of the Mechanicus Church surrounded the returning first-generation leader, heading towards the deepest part of the underground space. The shadow elf Bertie was carrying Penny's biopod on his back. In his eyes, Looking at this group of fanatical Mechanicus members with fear and vigilance.
There are all kinds of races among these guys, even elves and Songhay people.
But their unified feature is that their bodies have been transformed in one way or another. Although Bertie is not a doctor, he also has the status of a mechanic in the slave owner faction. He can judge that many of the people in front of him actually have no need to transform themselves. The body was replaced by a machine, but they still did it.
In this way, this kind of self-transformation is more like some kind of weird "religious initiation ceremony" than a need, just like the Spider Lady's priests generally performed the spider transformation ceremony..
But this general self-transformation has been turned into a church-like ritual by these guys. Does it represent a kind of belief dominated by machine worship in Port Chardeau?？
Bod thought this and he felt uneasy.
And after seeing the degree of self-transformation of these mechanics, he also belatedly realized what kind of method the scholar would use to "rescue" Penny. No wonder he said that to himself in the car before. words.
Penny may be resurrected by the power of the Creator, but she will never be the same as she is familiar with. Thinking of this, Shadow Elf Bertie subconsciously grasped the buckle of the biological capsule on his back. He felt a little regretful. Got it.
Perhaps in the face of such extreme "rescue", I and my mentor should try other methods..
“what's on your mind？”
Just when Bod stopped moving forward, Saliv's deep voice suddenly sounded in his ears, startling the slightly weak male shadow elf. He turned around and saw the slave owner next to him. emerging from the dancing shadows.
“About Penny！”
Bod seemed to have found a backbone and told Salivu what he had just seen and thought about. The latter shook his head after listening and said：
“I discussed this matter with scholars. Penny's situation is very special..
Her body being purified by the creation ability means that she can no longer accept the cloning resurrection that the scholar faction is best at. The only way to keep her alive is this extreme method, otherwise we will have to let Penny die in pain. Continuously purifying.
There's no other way, Bertie, we have to do this.”
“I”
The shadow elf still wanted to hold on, but when he saw Lord Saliv's expression and the determination in his eyes, Bod knew that he had no chance..
He gritted his teeth, carried the portable biopod on his back, and followed Salifu forward..
In the deepest part of this underground space, in front of the metal structure that looks like "inlaid" in the rock wall, the core members of the Church of the Machine have already set up a formation here, and they have several strange-shaped machines connected there. On some of the exposed pipelines of the Creator's Door, there are mechanics debugging a very complex large-scale computing orb instrument..
The scholar is talking to his three old friends.
“I heard that you once tried to turn my disciple Fei Lun into a member of the Mechanicus Church.？”
The scholar asked, and the halfling mechanical sage Marvin next to him answered in a rather strange and emotionless mechanical voice.：
“It was an experiment. After you left, Bach, your daughter played a bad emotional drama between two promising young people. It may have been an unintentional mistake, but it resulted in bitter consequences..
Flywheel's relationship with Minx broke down. The two had a stupid duel and accidentally injured someone. Flywheel was expelled and brought back to the underground by us. He was really talented and was only one step away from becoming one of ours. member, and even take over the leadership position that became vacant after you left..
But unfortunately, Feilun accidentally met a manipulative widow. He fell into the trap of love for the second time, and finally chose to escape from his hometown..
Hey, feelings
Meaningless things will only affect the efficiency of our research on mechanical power. This is why I have been trying to ask believers to remove those meaningless reproductive organs, so as not to affect their supposedly bright and pure lives..”
“Well, Marvin, you're a little too extreme..”
The old scholar Bach sighed and said：
“It's more extreme than I remembered. In fact, I don't think these two needs are in conflict. It is precisely because of complex and impulsive emotional factors that there have been so many miracles in history in which the weak defeated the strong..
But that's not what we're going to talk about today, about this door
We have been trying for two hundred years but still cannot open it with our engineering concepts, but this does not prove that our technical route is wrong, just because the accumulation of knowledge is not enough. With the help of 'Resuscitation', I We have found an opportunity and a way to combine the two.
There is no place for spiritual energy in the mechanical knowledge of the Creator, but spiritual energy is already an indispensable part of this world. Therefore, we must use this external force to help us develop the two kinds of knowledge into a mechanical mystery that is unique to us..
I return here today just to show you the new knowledge I have advanced and summarized over the past two hundred years.！
A new system based on the mechanical engineering of the Creator, adding the use of psychic energy as energy and the ingenious changes it produces.！
I named it 'Secret Engineering'’.”
He declared loudly, then came to the operating console of the computing orb, turned his mechanical cane into a complex external device, and then performed complex coding operations on it..
