Chapter 1318: Using Stone to Control Iron
From a distance, the God-Machine Titans look like a group of hunched old men stumbling forward. Although their legs and feet don’t look very flexible, anyone can clearly see these terrifying war machines. Not weak at all.
They destroyed a large number of buildings nonchalantly along the way. After all, there are few roads in the city that Titans can walk on. Obviously, the Titan army did not care about the ants living under their feet. They just continued on their own pace.
Thousands of low-level priests and workers fled in front of the advancing Titans, just like ants facing the charging herd. Because of the limitations of their size, the legion engine also ignored them and randomly moved from the crowd. Trample the past.
The seemingly long journey is actually quickly running out. The shadow of the Emperor-class Titan has already covered the Brilliant Palace, and its head is just at the height of the Temple of All Machines.
At this time, everyone was like little dolls in a crystal ball, being held in the palm of a child's hand and observed.
Soshiyan also has to say that at close range, the oppressive power of the Emperor Titan is really full.
But if the other party thinks that this can scare him, he is totally wrong.
“I’m really getting more and more curious, Bangura, how did you control the Titan Legion that was not loyal to you in such a short period of time?”
“I will tell you about this in the future. You explained, please give me the key first.”
The Space Marine shook his head slightly.
“There is no rush in this matter, Sage Bangura, I still have to remind you of some things. Although as a person outside the Mechanicus, I don’t have much opinion on your ideas and views, but the Mechanic The Order's system has been in operation for ten thousand years, and the inherent flaws in your philosophy will only make the existing problems more complicated.
"Flaws? "
Bangura responded disdainfully:
"Our theory comes from an era older than the empire. It was designed by the most rational and wisest group of people in mankind. This is a theory based on logic and inherent laws with no room for error. Do you think it will be more problematic than superstitious worship? ”
Soshyan hesitated before speaking.
"With all due respect, your theory does not take into account every variable. There are some factors that will bring about unexplained changes."
"Factors? What do you mean?"
“Human nature.”
“Human nature——”
Bangura repeated the word, the hiss of the binary compiler containing a strong disparagement of it, as if he would be happier without those elements.
“Yes, it is always human factors that cause deviations in calculation results, and too many variability factors make the results difficult to predict, but this is not an excuse for superstition.”
“Then I will To put it bluntly, the empire needs the Mechanicus and the Mechanicus, and it does not want to cause a comprehensive turmoil within the Mechanicus. If you, or your theories, are spread, it will only stir up sparks. The anger of the entire Mechanicus, so I must have an insurance, an insurance that ensures that neither party will reach this point."
"If this is the case, then I can only announce the termination of the cooperation between the two parties. "
Along with Bangura's cold words, the horn of the Emperor Titan sounded at the same time, and strong sound waves swept through the Temple of All Machines, shattering every piece of glass, and knocking the crowd to the ground. The Space Marines and a few were still standing.
Soshyan glanced at the key in his hand and suddenly smiled:
"Bangura, there was almost nothing wrong with what you did, you just made a mistake."
"Huh?"
"You should not let your 'friends' access the planet's cogitator network in order to control the planet's defense system."
Bangura's eyes suddenly widened.
"You——"
"This time, I happened to bring a friend with me."
At the same time, all the Titans that were still moving stopped, although their joints were still there It made a creaking sound, but it was as if it was bound by invisible chains.
But Soshiyang’s feelings were different from everyone else’s. Muhu connected to his power armor servo, and with the help of the neural interface, Soshiyang could even hear the roar and hydraulic pressure of the Titan’s power unit. You can also feel the hissing sound from the device and the high temperature generated by the hissing of the electric field.
Every feeling he had was amplified, and then, he saw that thing.
The connection lasted only a moment, but in that moment he saw the true nature of its existence.
It was some golden lines tied together to form a luminous net, forming a cold world composed of artificially created synapses and neurons. Its memories are filled with feelings and emotions, and a certain cold substance sits at the core of its consciousness like a bloated spider sitting at the center of its web.
Soshiyan seems to be standing in a super-detailed non-spherical space, with floating luminous planes occupying all the space around him - these luminous planes are like a group of sparkling lights Bright, delicately dancing decorative panes.
He took a deep breath and said the forbidden name.
"Silicon Crystal Intelligence."
In this space, he is not welcome. He feels like something is pushing him, trying to exclude him from this network, just like the elimination of the body. Same reaction.
Or more like white blood cells are suppressing and destroying the source of infection.
But Mu Hu, who transformed from the little ball into a golden child, put a yoke on it. Although it still tried to get rid of these shackles like a wild beast, it was in vain.
“I will not destroy you, but only if you stop resisting.”
Soshiyang then spoke, and his voice echoed in the spiritual space.
But the spider-like figure still howled, like a hunter held by a frayed rein.
It roared out a strange code word. Although the words used were unknown, the meaning was very obvious.
"Bad temper! Teach you a lesson!"
Mu Hu's arm quickly unfolded like a double helix data link. In the blink of an eye, it traveled through endless virtual distances and entangled itself to the back. Above the brutal consciousness.
A tremor spread throughout the space, and Suoshiyang watched Mu Hu coldly tear open the protective layer of the opponent's consciousness, and the tentacles penetrated deeply into every aspect of that existence.
Eventually, under the threat of destruction, it gave in and surrendered its authority.
Soshyan was also able to learn more about it.
Creating a self-aware machine has been a forbidden science since the Forgotten Age of Strife, and is undoubtedly a prehistoric relic.
This is a machine that can think independently, and its first autonomous behavior is killing.
So what do its makers think about this?
Still it is a machine, it is still bound by mechanical fundamentals, it still collects information and acts like any other sentient creature.
As a consciousness composed of countless rays of light, it seems to have existed for a long time and has exerted deep protection measures on itself, but Muhu still found and controlled the neural pathways and channels for its perception of the external world. grid area.
At this time, Bangura also realized something, and suddenly stepped forward excitedly and roared.
"Mercer! What did you do to it!"
Soshyan just responded with a gentle smile, and you could vaguely see the golden grid-like threads flickering in his eyes.
“Did you give it this name?”
“This is its own name, not mine.”
“Does it regard you as a friend? ”
“What on earth did you do!”
But Soshiyan did not answer his question, but pointed to Bangura's chest.
“This is not your original body, right.”
Bangura stared at him but did not answer.
At this time, a weak and intermittent voice came through the small communicator in his ear.
". Bangura. Friend the accidental creator. Save me"
