Chapter 529 75. Bartmos’s new deal·Imagination of the Kingdom of Mechanical God
"Metal Spirit?"
Buttermos' question made Mason blink, then frown, and he said:
"I just know that this is part of the three newly born root powers, but the specific content about it is very rare. It has not appeared in the entire world war, just like the fungus of division and the ash of withering. Silence.
Although my team members Zha Kang and Ivy confirmed to me that the power of the Metal Spirit exists in my world, to be honest, I may not know as much about it as you do.
After all, you should have just found something in Yamodra's database, right? ”
"Well, I found a lot."
The God of Data stepped down from the Mechanical Throne. He reached out and patted the mechanical containment chamber where Yamodra was placed. After a few seconds of silence, he turned back to Mason and said:
"This guy is the agent of the Metal Spirit. He has been there a long time ago. According to the information in the memory database, the Metal Spirit noticed it after it first confronted the Zhenglian and won.
< br>
It can grow to this point in a short period of time. In addition to its excellent design ideas and outstanding self-growth module, part of the reason is the internal strengthening of the Metal Spirit. ”
"Huh?"
Mason's eyes suddenly widened.
But this was not the only news that surprised him. Bartmos pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, glanced at Ott, who was standing beside him with his hands tied, and whispered:
"There is one more thing I must tell you, Mason. In the world war, the mysterious metal spirit also participated!
Although the way it participates is very obscure.
Let me put it this way, according to our previous calculations, during the nearly twenty hours of the entire world war, the consciousness data originally planned to be released on the battlefield was around 100,000 samples, but in fact, when the war ended , this number has exceeded 200,000 samples.
In addition to the fact that actual usage exceeds demand due to the rapid changes in the war situation, part of the reason is that during the war, the download speed of all data in your world is 30% faster than before!
You are an outstanding engineer, and you should understand that the data traffic suddenly exceeded one-third without any breakthrough or change in hardware conditions. This is simply a miracle that cannot be explained scientifically.
It now appears that my prediction was correct. ”
The God of Data grinned with a rather mysterious smile. He pointed at Ya Mo Zhuo who had stopped running next to him and said:
"There is indeed the involvement of metaphysics in this matter, and based on the post-war data evaluation, we have also reached a very important conclusion, that is, when the war occurs, the combat effectiveness of all the androids activated by the download will be higher than usual. About 20%.
The Metal Spirits join the battle.
Without us even realizing it, it fills the entire scene, and its dynamic performance is even more brilliant than the green of all things, the red of all living beings, and the black of decay.
Just because its effective form is to cover the entire world's mechanical bodies and data, this led to us not realizing it at the first time.
Or let me put it another way! ”
Buttermos turned around, folded his arms and said to Mason:
"A 'God of Data' was also born in your world. Uh, no, it should be called the 'God of Machinery' more appropriately. Perhaps it does not have its own consciousness and is just a display of some symbolic power.
But it is real. ”
"Can you trace it?"
Mason immediately realized the value and asked:
"You just said that Yamo Zhuo's data consciousness is trapped in the realm of the metal spirit. According to Zha Kang, the six realms of root power are conceptual realms independent of the material world. This tracking ability Will it be possible in a short time? ”
"I need to write a special program and implant it into Yamo Zhuo."
Bartmos rubbed his chin, his narrowed eyes shone like a waterfall of green data, and he said:
"This may take some time to prepare, but if it can really happen, we may be able to find this source of power in a short time. Contact with it is also dangerous.
After all, even a mechanical creature like Amozo, whose combat power is close to perfect Ultron, will be trapped by it. Even if I am called the God of Data, there is definitely a risk when doing this kind of thing.
But the risk of choosing to get close is worth it.
After all, it is a divine kingdom of machinery and data! A realm that was born naturally and has not been touched by any external force is like heaven or hell described in human belief systems.
No matter what the form of existence of that place is, one thing is certain, its form of existence is definitely more advanced than the current cyberspace, no!
More real!
Maybe
Perhaps that is the way for us data beings to achieve ‘transcendence’.
I have to find it! ”
"It may not be as beautiful as you imagine."
Mason poured cold water on him and said:
"If that place is as perfect as you say, then why is Amodra still trapped? I'm not stopping you from taking risks, Buttermoss.
I just want to remind you that you are deciding to do something dangerous. ”
"So I will be fully prepared."
The God of Data patted the mechanical storage warehouse at hand and said to Mason:
"The body of Yamo Zhuo will stay with me for now. I will use its remaining connection with the data consciousness as a tracking signal. By the way, if I really find that place, I can't enter it in the form of a data program.
I need an entity.
A powerful enough entity that has evolved to such a perfect stage of golden submadra is exactly what I need, don't worry I'll break it.
I'll give it back to you after my adventure is over.
Ah, after becoming the administrator of cyberspace, it has been a long time since something like this made me feel excited, just like the throbbing of the young protagonists in those knightly novels when they first embarked on an adventurous journey.
Ultra! ”
"Here."
When Ms. Ott's name was called, she was obviously in a daze and didn't know what she was thinking, but she reacted quickly, raised her head immediately, and heard Buttermoss say to her:
"In the next period of time, the management authority of cyberspace will be temporarily transferred to you, and I will dedicate many threads to explore the realm of metal spirits.
If this happens, then perhaps the desire of the consciousness data in the world of Mikoshi to permanently get rid of this cage will be realized.
But this must be kept secret! ”
"I can understand and I will take charge of the handover."
Ms. Ott nodded, then bid farewell to Mason at Buttermos's signal, and left the main control room. The brisk steps when she left meant that she was in a good mood at this time.
"I don't know how you used those unscientific powers to turn my most sane assistant back into a life longing for love, but I advise you not to spread those 'dangerous things' everywhere."
Buttermoss said to Mason:
"Not every data life can remain rational under this 'temptation' like Ultra. Once the most dangerous wandering AIs among them are allowed to obtain this method and slip into the material world, it will definitely cause unnecessary Dangerous waves.
Data beings rarely have overly enthusiastic personalities, which makes them ruthless but not destructive beyond the bottom line. Once too much humanity is given to them, they will become better and worse at the same time.
Can you understand what I mean? ”
"Of course, things like love can always drive people to do crazy and terrible things."
Mason nodded and promised Buttermoss that he would not give the Rat Talisman too many data lives, but then, he heard Buttermoss suggest:
"Let's make a new deal, Mason, a private deal between you and us that doesn't involve the big things we're currently working on."
"Okay."
The captain moved his shoulders and said:
"Let me guess, is it related to the Metal Spirit?"
"Yeah, but not the Metal Spirit in your world."
The God of Data nodded and said:
"As far as I know, root power does not only exist in the world of Gotham. There are similar powers in many worlds with similar worldviews. According to the records summarized by Judy at the last meeting, you will go to these next steps. The world is looking for more speedsters to take on plane-connecting duties, right?"
"You want me to help you find more samples of the Metal Spirit?"
Mason blinked and said:
"Isn't this too greedy? You didn't even find the first one, and you started looking forward to more power samples without even knowing what it represents?"
"I'm just making a backup."
Bartmos waved his hand and said:
"A metal spirit consciousness that can trap Yamo Zhuo is already quite powerful. Although I am confident of escaping unscathed, considering that everyone does not have enough time now, I must have a backup plan.
This kind of thing is closely related to the future of mechanical life. I can't just find someone to entrust him to do things. I have to find a truly trustworthy and capable friend.
You are the best choice.
If you could find a sample of the Metal Spirit's power in other worlds, that would mean I wouldn't have to make such a dangerous attempt.
Of course, I will send the main force of the Afterlife Team as assistants to help you complete this task. I also promise that after you complete the commission, I will never be stingy with the reward. ”
"We are all allies, so don't mention things like remuneration, which may seem out of control."
Mason waved his hand and said:
"It just so happens that we are going to a similar world to explore and search for friendly forces. I will pay attention to you on the way, but don't blame me if I don't find you.
After all, this kind of root power is mysterious. I feel that their form of existence and the selection of agents are very metaphysical, and it depends on 'fate'. ”
"What I'm saying is that you really can't force this kind of thing."
The data god sighed.
But a few minutes later, he came up with a new conjecture. He said to Mason:
"If the Speed Force, which is both an unscientific force, can be linked to each other in the same world view, then do you think something like the Power of Origin will have the same characteristics?
Maybe they have different manifestations based on different worlds.
But just like the Avengers and the Justice League can join forces to fight against the enemy, if we combine the root powers of different worlds in some way"
This conjecture without any evidence immediately made Mason realize the wisdom of the God of Data that should not be underestimated. He immediately gave a thumbs up and said to Bartmos:
"You are such a genius! This idea is indeed worth trying. If I can find more samples, then I will do some experiments along the way.
In addition, the assassins of the Isu world witnessed the numerical superiority of the android army in the war, and through John Wick, they proposed to the Mikoshi world to install a master server backup in their world. ”
Mason says to the data gods:
"But I guess what they want more is an army of androids that can hold up the scene at critical moments, so I hope you can install a few more production lines in the Isu world.
After all, among our current alliance of five worlds, their basic strength is the worst. Once the conquerors decide to counterattack, there is likely to be a breakthrough in the Isu world.
By then a tragedy may be unavoidable. ”
"I understand that this is a legitimate need for self-protection. I will arrange for someone to handle this matter, or simply let the Exile spacecraft pass by once.
The self-discipline factory in the cabin has just completed the production of the backup server, and it only needs eight hours of operation to hide it deep in the secret place of the Isu world.
I can also visit the facilities left by the mysterious Isu people, just to relax before the adventure begins.
But when it comes to the Isu people.”
Bartmos blinked, and the ship's sailing direction immediately changed. A gate to the plane opened in front of the ship and accelerated towards the intended target.
He said to Mason:
"Mr. Consus, who you sent to Night City before, has just undergone data transcoding, allowing him to fully adapt to the environment of Night City, but he is not happy. Do you need to see him?"
"No, he will definitely scold me, and I don't want to be scolded."
Mason shrugged and said:
"After all, you still have to face shame. You guys should be busy first. I'm going back to the Star Castle. If you have any questions, call me."
——
Mason returned to the Star Castle ten minutes later and entered the base room of Team K directly through the World Gate.
As a result, as soon as I entered, I heard a very indecent sound coming from the master bedroom. There were also messy clothes scattered on the floor, some of which belonged to Zha Kang.
The captain understood immediately.
He curled his lips. He had no intention of staying here to watch Zha Kang's performance, so he opened the door and walked out.
I originally planned to go to the trade fair on the third floor of the Star Castle to see if I could get some interesting blueprints and formulas for my collection. But as soon as I walked a few steps, I felt dizzy, as if I had been shot in the head by a black streamer. The picture suddenly jumped into view.
Eagle Eye·Prediction activates!
Mason was shocked and dissipated into water splashes on the spot. At the same time, a black stream of light pierced through and hit the air.
The commander-in-chief, who had reshaped his body, was blinded when he felt a cold hand piercing his chest. If there was a heart there, it would be crushed right now.
He was now extremely aware that he was a water person, and at the same time he looked up and saw the true face of the attacker.
A tattered black lightning suit wrapped around the twisted and shriveled body. Under the helmet with a badly damaged head was a ferocious zombie-like face.
The white teeth paired with the rotten visor look so eye-catching.
The most eye-catching thing is that this guy is wrapped with scarlet speed lightning, and his dark eyes are staring at Mason in front of him.
Although it has no expression, its disgust for Mason can be seen in its eyes.
Black Lightning!
This haunting guy had seen him once before when Mason's Ring of Speed was broken. That time Mason was almost killed by Black Lightning.
Mason also knew exactly why this guy came to his door.
Although he is not a speedster, his repeated use of the speed force obviously angered the Flash, who symbolizes death, or the dark reflection of the speed force.
It had no intention of letting Mason go, and the fact that it could still appear in Star Castle, a place where the Speed Force theoretically did not exist at all, was indeed beyond Mason's expectations.
What happened in the next few seconds was harrowing.
Facing a dark incarnation of the Speed Force, Mason did not expect to fight because he could not defeat him at all. He could only rely on constant division and reorganization to delay time.
Fortunately, none of the three mentors were skipping work at this moment. Three seconds after Mason was attacked, silver and black light suddenly appeared, and a bolt of angry thunder and lightning poured into the entire corridor.
In the pulsation of light, the black lightning disappeared as quietly as it appeared.
But before leaving, it glanced back at Mason, a look that announced that things between the two were not over yet.
"What is that?"
Shirley helped the ugly-looking Mason up and asked with concern:
"When did you mess with a guy like that? Was he a conqueror? Or someone else?"
"That's just a troublesome guy, it doesn't belong to any camp."
Mason looked away and whispered:
"The God of Death of the Speedster will not give up. I have to make a countermeasure plan immediately." (End of Chapter)
