Chapter 573 39. Isn’t it a basic operation to explode the furnace whenever a top-level elixir is released?
"Are we sure we want to do this? I always feel that their decision-making speed is a bit too fast, especially on such a major matter that affects the survival of a civilization.
According to the normal procedure, shouldn't we hold a meeting to discuss it first? ”
In the main control room of the Exile spacecraft, Barbara, who had returned from the conceptual plane of the Metal Spirit, was sitting on the Mobius chair and rubbing her forehead. She looked at her suspiciously and was doing the "handover" with Ms. Ott in front of her. Formalities” says Mason:
"I didn't notice it just now, but after returning to the material world, I confirmed that there was always a vague force interfering with my mind when we stayed in that conceptual plane.
This is definitely not a misjudgment on my part!
The Möbius chair also records that energy change.
The spirit of metal interferes with our judgment in its country. We are all living people and will be affected. The data lives of Bartmos and others are more likely to be interfered with.
We should be more cautious. Maybe suspending the transfer of data consciousness in the world of God is the right choice? ”
"The idea is very good, the reasons and evidence are very sufficient, but they have all stayed there to become the spokespersons of the Metal Spirit. Now that they choose to suspend the operation, they will not be brought back."
Mason shook his head and said:
"And if you carefully sort out the process of this matter, it is not difficult to find that even without the interference and induction of data consciousness by the Metal Spirit, our Data God will most likely make the same choice.
We have seen with our own eyes the conceptual plane of metal, machinery and data. Its instinct for growth and transformation cannot be faked. As Bartmos said, the combination of the world of gods and the spirit of metal may not make things better. , but never worse.
And his weird 'world egg' theory does have merit, which makes me look forward to the miracles that will be born after the fusion of the Mikoshi civilization and the metal spirit. ”
"Miss Barbara need not be so worried. Due to my presence, Mr. Mason is unable to explain the rather utilitarian part of the reason for this decision.
But I can explain it to you. ”
Ott Cunningham, who was transferring the permissions of the Kamikyu World combatant database, said calmly:
"Although I did not enter the conceptual plane of metal with Bartmos, nor did I see with my own eyes the prototype of the mechanical kingdom he longed to come in the future, one thing has been confirmed.
That is, the Metal Spirit is the root power of the Gotham world, and its existence is bound to the Gotham world.
At present, the consciousness data of the world of gods has been transferred to the conceptual plane, which means that we have permanently tied our existence to your world.
If you die in the impact event, it means that our future will also be ruined.
This also means that Bartmos gave up on his plan to survive the change of the era in the form of data. Perhaps he conducted another deduction on the future situation after collecting more information and came to a pessimistic conclusion. ”
The data god's most trusted secretary and assistant shook his head.
She took off a silver-gray plug-in similar to a USB flash drive ID card from the console in the main control room, handed it to Mason, and said:
"The 'War Protocol' authorized by Bartmos personally, with it, you can unlock all the Mikoto armed forces, including the Terrorist Mobile Team and the Company Legion, in any world with a Mikoto backup database and basic network.< br>
There is no upper limit to the number of unlocks. As long as you have enough resources, you can even fill the entire world with cybernetic soldiers.
Of course, their data downloads require combat carriers, so you'd better have at least one android production line with you.
I know this is hard for you. ”
"So now I have become the governor or commander of the Kamikyo Legion?"
Mason tossed the war agreement up and down in his hand and asked again:
"The consciousness data that can be downloaded does not include legendary mercenaries like V?"
"All armed forces, Mr. Mason."
Ms. Ott emphasized:
"V and the others are naturally wrapped in it, but they now have main bodies moving freely, so if you really need it, you can only use the data copy program.
This procedure has certain risks.
Especially when there is no time to recover and destroy the backup consciousness after the war, it is easy for the individual to lose control. The higher the intelligence, the more likely this problem will occur with consciousness data. ”
"I understand."
Mason nodded seriously, but then he blinked and asked:
"In other words, after unlocking the highest level of unlocking authority, if I want, I can also create a female V with completely independent consciousness and all the combat experience and skills of V?"
"Well, in theory it can."
This thought of the captain was silenced by Ms. Ott. She hesitated for several seconds before speaking:
"But I really don't recommend you to do this. V's personal feelings are on the one hand, and gender and ethical issues are on the other. Furthermore, combat power has little to do with gender, right?"
"It's not big, but I just want a female V to be a bodyguard. Ha, it's purely for personal entertainment."
Mason showed a strange expression, waved to Otto and said:
"This matter needs to be kept secret. Also, did I give the rat charm I made last time to that idiot Johnny? Why didn't he come out and point at my nose and scold me?
Are you afraid of being repaired by me? ”
"Johnny is on a mission."
Ms. Ott, who was at work, said rationally and calmly:
"He is responsible for the installation and debugging of the backup server there in the Isu world, but he does plan to hold a world reincarnation concert by Samurai Band, just after we survive this shock."
"Okay, I will definitely buy a few more tickets then to support my dear idiot Silver Hand."
Mason laughed and glanced at the empty main control room again, and asked:
"Butmosus will stay in the conceptual world of the Metal Spirit for a long time. Is it difficult for you to control this spaceship by yourself? Do you need me to send someone to help you?"
"I've never been alone, Mr. Mason."
Otto raised his finger, and all the dormant robots in the main control room were awakened. The black-haired girl, who looked like a mechanical queen, had a faint blue halo in her eyes, and she said softly:
"This spacecraft has the ability to protect itself. In fact, it is much safer for me to stay here than to stay elsewhere.
According to Bartmos's radical data migration schedule, I have to send 80% of the divine consciousness into the metal spirit plane within three days to serve as a labor force for weaving the world.
I'll be very busy next time. ”
"I understand, I'll leave now without disturbing your work."
Mason nodded, glanced at Barbara next to him, and said:
"I leave my sister here to be your assistant? With the help of the Mobius Chair, she will definitely be of great help to you."
"Would you like to learn more hacker combat skills from me?"
Ott immediately saw through Mason's little plan, but she did not refuse. Instead, she delegated the assistant's authority to Barbara and gave her an intensive work plan.
Bat Girl's face suddenly turned bitter.
After Mason left humming a song, she carefully said to Ott:
"Um, ma'am, can I take a few hours off? I didn't mean to leave. I promise I will work harder when I come back, but I"
"Is there a beloved man waiting for you?"
Ott Cunningham glanced at the embarrassed Barbara, who sat in the mechanical chair and nodded, saying:
"A candlelight dinner is waiting for me, and there is a temporary farewell that I must go and tell in person. My evil-minded brother just wants to laugh at me."
"Okay, I'll give you an hour."
Ms. Ott nodded. When she saw Barbara's hesitant expression, the cold mechanical lady suddenly showed a fleeting smile, coughed again, and said:
"Isn't one hour not enough? Then I'll give you three hours. But today's work must be completed before the deadline, which means you will have to work overtime when you come back.
Proper relaxation is good for physical and mental health, but too much indulgence will consume your precious time, so go ahead, girl. ”
"Thank you."
Barbara let out a sigh of relief, and then activated the teleportation function of the Mobius chair to send herself back to Gotham to continue her date with the young buttocks tonight.
Ott also hesitated for a moment, then took out the rat charm given by Mason and put it into the groove of her prosthetic body. A few seconds later, she dialed Johnny Silverhand's communication.
"I'll give you ten minutes!"
The powerful data life set up the automatic navigation program for the Exile spacecraft, and said to Johnny extremely powerfully:
"I want a mechanical style candlelight dinner"
——
"Oh hoo hoo, I'm so full."
In Osborne Tower, Mason returns from the World Gate with his two girlfriends on his arms.
Harley, who was all dressed up, rubbed her flat belly with a look of enjoyment, while Quinn held her sweetheart's arm and reminisced about the romantic three-person date before.
Although they don't know why Mr. K, who has always been unsentimental, suddenly prepared such a sultry candlelight dinner today, they both enjoyed this sudden surprise.
"I didn't know you two liked that crappy playground so much."
Mason whispered:
"Is the Ferris wheel that fun? I was shouting all the way."
“It’s not about what you play, but who you play with.”
Harley tilted her little head and rubbed Mason's shoulder. She closed her eyes and said softly:
"If I were with my sweetheart, I would be very happy even if I slept in a bridge tonight. Unfortunately, I have to go to the headquarters for duty later. Otherwise, Quinn and I can give you a surprise tonight."
"I don't need surprises, there are enough surprises on the Ferris wheel."
Mason complained:
"At that time, I was afraid that the two of you would break up the place. Let's rest for a while and then go on duty. Although it is unlikely that there will be an emergency that will cause the K Corps to be dispatched suddenly, everyone has work to do. It is really not okay to be blatantly lazy now. Great.”
"I know."
Harley stood up on tiptoes and kissed Mason on the face, then walked noisily to their room with Quinn.
Mason walked to the window of the lounge to blow in the wind, allowing himself to return from a relaxed state to a working state. Even Harley and Quinn were assigned daily duty, so it was known that all members of Team K were now operating at full capacity. .
The installation and testing of devices in each world, the deployment and distribution of supplies, and various tedious matters took up all their energy.
The commander-in-chief feels that they are now like a miniature Society of Stars or a Council of Hope. When complex management responsibilities replace the daily life of fighting and development, the pressure to maintain the operation of a system makes everyone no longer as relaxed as before.
"It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it."
Mason sighed, feeling grateful that his camp still had talented people like the old Green Goblin, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the corporate dogs from the Divine World who were already proficient in management. Otherwise, there really wouldn’t be much that could be done with the K-Team alone. Maintain the current situation of all parties well.
This also made him realize that he was really not suitable to be an all-around manager or ruler. It seemed that the life goals he had set for himself were correct.
He is only responsible for ending the dark era in front of him. As for taking power in the future, love whoever you want.
I definitely won't suffer from that.
"Subject! Come to the alchemy laboratory!"
Just as Mason was stretching his body and preparing to return to work, the call from the alchemist Mason sounded in his heart, which moved the captain's heart, and then rushed to the alchemy laboratory as quickly as possible.
Sending this communication at this point in time made Mason realize that the great work that had been advancing in the field of alchemy had finally reached its final stage.
Things went as he expected. When he entered the alchemy laboratory, Mason immediately saw the Mother Cauldron of Everything that was emitting billowing black smoke, as well as the three alchemist masters who were busy around them.
The two Elric brothers maintained the formation formation, one on the left and the other on the right, while the alchemist Mason continued to throw a large number of blood-red weak magic stones into the already boiling alchemy cauldron.
This precious alchemical relic will be used as a cheap stabilizer to ensure the smooth completion of the alchemical process that has reached the last step.
But now it seems things are getting a little out of hand.
"Come here and help!"
The alchemist Mason, whose face was covered in black and gray, shouted to the subject:
"The refining of the Nine-turn Sentinel Golden Pill has reached the final stage, but the energy reaction is a bit out of control, and the Mother Cauldron of All Things can no longer withstand it.
heating!
Continue to heat and let it melt, quickly! Otherwise, the elixir will explode. ”
"What a stupid name! The style of painting is wrong, you bastard. Shouldn't it be called Concentrated Sentinel Serum?"
Mason took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and hurried forward.
He placed his hands on top of the hot Mother Cauldron of All Things, and used the energy control given by the Isu bloodline after reaching the full level. He absorbed the chaotic energy that was constantly ejected from the Mother Cauldron in his hands, and converted and burned it with magic fire to make the Mother Cauldron Flames grew from below.
“Keep heating up!”
Edward, who was controlling the formation, shouted:
"There are crystals forming, I saw it! Quick, let the fire stop the juice!"
"Boom"
A larger amount of magic fire was applied around the mother cauldron. As Mason watched in fear, he saw traces of cracks bursting out on the edge of the mother cauldron, as well as harsh cracking sounds clearly audible in the chaos.
"You have to prepare to compensate people after this is over, Mason."
Alphonse whispered:
"Whether the alchemy is successful or not, this precious Mother Cauldron will definitely not be saved. To be honest, this is the most expensive refining process that my brother and I have ever done before we debuted. Wait a minute!
Stop it!
It's going to explode! ”
“I can’t stop!!!”
Alchemist Mason screamed.
The next moment, a terrifying energy burst out from the Cauldron of All Things, completely destroying the alchemy artifact and blowing away the four people in the laboratory.
The release of the aftermath of the energy that was enough to distort reality shattered all the utensils in the alchemy laboratory, and at the same time exploded the ground and walls into pieces, as if a small nuclear bomb had detonated here.
It even interfered with the stability of Osborne Tower, causing the entire tower to shake violently.
Alchemist Mason and Subject Mason were the closest, so they were naturally blown to pieces, but the advantage of the water man was once again revealed, and the two guys quickly reconstructed themselves as water bodies in the mess.
The Elric brothers, who were unable to reconstruct their bodies, were in bad luck. The elder brother was knocked unconscious and his head was badly bruised.
The younger brother was even worse. He stood in front of him during the explosion, causing his expensive prosthetic body to shatter into pieces. It was like a tragic scene of a cyber dismemberment incident.
"Leave us alone, we're all fine!"
Alphonse's head yelled on the ground:
"Go and see the serum crystals."
"The crystal is no problem, I found it."
The voice of Alchemist Mason rang out from the scene of the black smoke and disaster.
When Mason picked up Alphonse's head, the alchemist Mason, who was full of fairy spirit, appeared in front of the two men holding an irregular bright crystal in his hands.
He excitedly held up the thing that almost destroyed the entire tower, just like holding a championship trophy.
The main body of Mason could obviously understand why the alchemist was so excited, because at the moment of the explosion, he saw the prompt flashing in front of him:
Successfully completed a legendary quality Immortal Craft alchemical creation once, and the alchemy branch skill has been improved. It is currently Lv8+2! Alchemy is also maxed out!
Oh yeah!
