Chapter 3065 The Source of Wotan
Looking at Byrno who was busy with equipment not far away, Soshyan guessed that the key to the Hearthborn’s subspace navigation is probably the unique Ironborn.< br>
But what is the specific operation?
Could it be that those Ironborn have strong psychic abilities? But the problem is, no matter how you look at them, they are all artificial intelligence. How can machines have psychic powers?
Is it possible that Byrno, the Master of the Void, is hiding something secretly? Actually a very powerful psyker?
It doesn't seem like it, at least Soshyan couldn't feel it, or in the entire bridge, he didn't feel any spiritual energy fluctuations or ripples.
Being able to navigate in subspace without relying on spiritual energy, If such technology really existed, why would the Emperor bother with the Internet Channel in the first place?
Suddenly, Soshiyang felt a slight tremor, as if spider threads were stirring in his ears. This feeling was not unfamiliar to him. He turned his eyes to the window, and the original darkness had disappeared. Replaced by colorful and crazy colors, it was as if the ship had fallen into a sea full of sticky paint, and a shimmering film could be vaguely seen in the windows and subspace.
Geller force field, this thing is naturally familiar to Soshyan, but this has brought new problems.
The operating principle of the empire's Geller force field is to transfer the psychic energy from the coma It is extracted from the endless dreams of the person, and based on this, a force field that conforms to the rules of reality is projected within the scope of action as an enhancement and restriction to the current external reality. Its core is still a psyker.
What about the Hearthborn's Geller Field?
Is he the Priest Grumnir? But Lord Walker has clearly said that they are not qualified for the position of real psykers. Combat skills can be simulated through technology, but natural abilities are difficult to simulate.
The secrets of the Wotan Federation deeply attracted Soshyan, not because of curiosity, but because this race has many things that the empire really lacks and needs, and they are all possible to achieve. After all, They were once homologous to humans.
But based on Soshyan's experience with the Hearthborn, he could see that people's evaluation of the empire basically only had three types: bad, very bad, and very bad.
Most organizations and factions in the empire regard the short people as demi-humans or aliens, and the furnace descendants basically view the empire as freaks or violent lunatics. In fact, deep down, Soshiyang also I feel that humans and short people are no longer the same race, and even the cousins are very reluctant. The civilization and spiritual core of both sides are essentially different.
It is obvious that it is difficult for the empire to absorb the excellent technology and culture of the furnace descendants to supplement itself. At least for now, Soshyan does not see any hope.
Soshiyang has been working very hard to do something for mankind, not only for the empire, but also for the human race, but all this is too difficult just thinking about it. Humanity has accumulated tens of thousands of years The problem cannot be solved by a few super technologies. From this point of view, it is easier for Ada because it has a small population and a small area, and it has dominance and dominance, whether it is reform or the introduction of new technologies or new technologies. Social forms and even new cultures are much easier.
With a slight sigh, Soshyan drank the beer in the glass in one gulp. As he leaned on the railing and continued to observe the Hearthborn's subspace dive, a humble voice sounded.
"Guest, do you need another drink?"
Soshiyang lowered his head to the right and saw that the iron man who brought the beer before came again, with some wet metal He even rubbed his hands on his apron. This kind of humane expression was really hard to believe that this was the "hating intelligence" that the empire hated.
Suddenly, an idea popped into Soshiyang's mind. Master Ananda had said before that the man had tampered with Nalanda monk Jialan and promoted the Iron Man rebellion. So since Master Ananda knew about this, it stands to reason that he should not do anything about it. No preparation. Master Walker also said that the Wotan ancestors left their homeland, that is, the solar system, and headed for the distant galactic center in a huge accident.
Who guided them there?
Who has prepared such safe artificial intelligence technology for them?
According to Master Walker, the first ancestors were called the "original ancestors", and one of the leaders was called the "Golden Light Sage". In the Wotan myth, it is depicted as a shining light. The golden figure or motionless statue that forged the first forges and then sent the Hearthborn into the dark void before the dark sea rose to swallow up the homeworld of Man.
A golden existence that likes to remain motionless
Although it is just a guess, Soshiyang believes that it should be inseparable. After the Nalanda monk Jialan "sinked", Venerable Ananda guided him Now the ancestors of short people have left the solar system and gone to live in seclusion in the galactic center. This can be seen from Master Ananda's attitude towards artificial intelligence - he believes that those who have no flesh and blood can also be sentient beings, and there is no difference between sentient beings. This seems to be reflected in the completely equal status of Ironborn and Furnaceborn in Wotan.
And the Great Whirlpool happens to be an area very close to the center of the galaxy, so it doesn’t seem so strange that Master Ananda finally met him here.
However, there seems to be no clear record of this leader in Wotan's history. According to Master Walker, there are actually some similarities between the Hearthborn and the Empire in history, that is, a large number of ancient records have been buried. Under the massive data, even the Hearthborn who have long been rigorous and practical have to accept that after a certain point, their ancient history has been blurred to the point that it can only be called myths or legends.
Soshiyang felt that based on his understanding of Master Ananda, the other party may have voluntarily left at some time and erased most of his traces in the history of Hearth, but his ideological imprints remained. Yes, this is also the biggest difference between the Hearthborn and the Empire in core culture. Based on a high degree of pragmatism, the Hearthborn admit that their mythology is too contradictory, allegorical, and questionable to be cited as clear factual basis, but these are not unduly troubled. They, the Hearthborn feel, have no need to wear the armor of faith compared to humans.
Therefore, the furnace society is a very typical atheistic structure, and ancestor worship is more like a cultural sustenance. This is very consistent with Master Ananda’s view of the real world. Although his speech and behavior do seem to be some kind of "believer", he is really After understanding his words, you will feel that there is a strong atheistic tone in every line of his words. In this regard, the main body of thought between Master Ananda and him is basically the same.
But why did Master Ananda choose to establish Wotan? Soshiyang imagined that when Master Ananda brought the Wotan ancestors to the center of the galaxy, maybe he wanted to create a country that fit his ideas? Like He built an empire? In fact, they all harbor an utopia in their hearts? Or is it just a simple attempt?
Or is he doing this to prove to someone that a society where humans and mechanical intelligence are completely integrated is actually not that scary? Not to mention becoming the so-called living furnishing waste?
Thinking of this, Soshiyang recalled that Venerable Ananda often said that he wanted to save that person, but what exactly does "save" mean? Make the other person regret it? Or let the other party admit their mistakes and correct them? But no matter which one, it sounds very difficult...
Of course, this is just a guess. After all, unless Venerable Ananda is willing to say it himself, Soshiyang can only guess.
However, Venerable Ananda probably did not play a role as a ruler at that time. He may have existed as a secret guide, helping Wotan in the early stages of establishing himself in the center of the galaxy.
Personal settings, everyone can take a look, but there is indeed such a "golden light saint" in the official myth of Wotan
