Chapter 19 Life must always learn to choose
Zhang Yi looked around nervously and found that no one was paying attention here. He looked carefully at the abandoned Titan in front of him and really couldn't find the so-called keyhole.
"Hello."
Just when Zhang Yi was getting a little anxious, there suddenly was a voice above his head.
Zhang Yi was horrified. It was not that he did not observe when he came over just now. After making sure that there was no one on board the Titan, he dared to step forward and prepare to open the treasure chest. However, in the blink of an eye, someone appeared silently above his head.
For a person with this kind of ability, if he wanted to kill Zhang Yi silently, he would just be searching for something.
Slowly looking up, Zhang Yi saw a young man in white standing above the right arm of the Titan mecha.
"Hologram?"
Zhang Yi stood on the ground and couldn't see the blood volume or the color of the boy's name. For such a phenomenon, it can only be said that this boy does not have a physical body. There are no ghosts in the Warhammer world. The only explanation is that
It's this boy who is a hologram.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then said after a while: "How could you tell?"
Zhang Yi did not answer the question, but threw the key in his hand and asked: "Do you need this?"
The young man nodded slightly, and the muscles on his face twitched, as if he were smiling, but this action was extremely stiff, not like a human smile at all. He stared at the key and said: "To be precise, we all need this."
Zhang Yi doesn't care who is spying on him secretly or who projects the holographic image here. Since the system marks this as the location of the treasure chest, and the holographic image of this young man appears at this time, it can only prove that the treasure chest is about to be activated.
.
"I don't see how a holographic image needs such a thing."
Zhang Yi stared at the young man and whispered.
"My name is Le Fulan," the young man did not directly answer Zhang Yi's question, but first reported his name: "This key is the evidence of the agreement between me and the Cardinal Academy of the Mechanicus. Please give me the key.
, I can help you fulfill a wish."
"Do you think you are Aladdin's magic lamp? You have fulfilled a wish. I just ask you, how did you get the key?"
There was no expression on Novlan's face, and she replied calmly: "I don't know what Aladdin's lamp is, but in the Emperor's Academy, there seems to be nothing we can't do. For example, now I can let you lift it immediately.
Become an Avenger, and your companions will be safe immediately."
Zhang Yi was stunned, frowned and asked: "Do you know me?"
"Of course, Zhang Yi, we met a long time ago and asked, what is your wish?"
Zhang Yi shook his head slightly and said: "The only person who can remove the avenger status in Emperor College is the college terminal computer. Neither the principal nor the board of directors can interfere with the computer's program operation. In other words, you are not a real human being, but a
An image created by this computer?"
"You are very sharp, but your guess is not accurate enough. I am not a computer, but the machine soul that lives in this computer."
Machine soul?
Zhang Yi suddenly realized, no wonder it is the Cardinal Academy of the Mechanicum, no wonder it is here.
In the Warhammer world, the Mechanicus is a very special religious organization. They recognize the emperor as the leader of the human empire, but they do not believe in the royal sect. It is a religious organization that controls the science and technology of the empire.
They are in charge of the production of almost all machinery and ordnance in the empire, provide most of the technology of the human empire, and produce various types of weapons, armor, vehicles and Titan legions. As a result, they have gained great power within the empire.
After the Russ rebellion was put down, because the Empire needed more and more weapons and Titans to defend its territory, it obeyed the advice of the Mechanicus for a period of time. It was not until the "Apostasy" that the Empire regained control of the Empire.
The empire gradually got rid of the constraints of the Mechanicum.
Even so, the Adeptus Mechanicus still has a very high say in all affairs of the Empire, and has a very tacit relationship with the major Inquisitions and Space Marine Chapters. Sometimes, such as when the Candidate Army attacked the Pirate King,
The person who truly occupies the position of manager is a fanatic under the authority of the Pope of the Mechanicum.
Of course, outsiders call the Pope of the Mechanicum the Chief Maker to distinguish him from the Pope of the Imperial Cult.
In fact, the Pope of the Imperial Religion is His Majesty the Emperor, who is sleeping on the Golden Throne. Therefore, this difference is rather a kind of respect. The respect for His Majesty the Emperor is also the respect for the Pope of the Mechanicum, who is second only to His Majesty the Emperor.
respect for status,
Not just anyone can be compared with His Majesty the Emperor, and others need to deliberately differentiate in their titles.
On the front lines of the Imperial Guard battle, a priest of the Imperial Cult may not be as popular as a Tech-priest of the Mechanicum, because the latter can provide various maintenance support for those warriors, from armored combat vehicles to soldiers.
laser weapons.
After the alien space storm that swept through the universe, all human technology for producing various types of machinery was lost. The Mechanicum, which mastered all this, could only use standard construction templates to copy products that had been designed and templated in ancient times.
Therefore, an important task of the Adeptus Mechanicus was to discover these templates throughout the empire and copy them, and the science became archeology.
In addition, in the teachings of the Mechanicum, they believe that there is a machine soul in all machines. Only machines with souls can be used. Once the machine soul is lost, no matter how complete and new the machine looks, it has been lost.
If they are used forcibly, just like human corpses that will quickly decay, these "machine corpses" may quickly collapse in a short period of time.
This is especially true for the Titan mechas controlled by the Mechanicus. Unlike the Dreadnought mecha, which can be continuously remelted, the Mechanicus believes that these Titan mechas have their own souls. Once the soul dies, the role of these Titan mechas will be reduced.
It will die out quickly, so there are so many abandoned Titan mechas that will become war commemorative symbols of the Emperor Academy, instead of being pulled back and remelted.
As soon as Zhang Yi heard about the Machine Soul, he immediately thought of all the relationships with the Mechanicus. He looked at the boy in white again and asked in a low voice: "What role can this key play for you?"
"I need the circuit diagram above. As long as I find enough circuit diagrams, I can re-forge a Titan, and I will be reborn on this Titan."
"Wait, you mean there are enough circuit diagrams? But what about Titan's construction template? Do you have Titan's construction template?"
"It's not there yet, but it will be there soon. On the Rock planet in the Elam system, it is said that the construction template of the Bulldog Titan was found. Although it cannot be confirmed yet, the Cardinals of the Mechanicus said that it should not be far apart."
Damn it, what is the construction template for the Bulldog Titan?!!!
Is there any mistake, that is from a Titan, not a cat or a dog. If there really is that template, how many Titans can the empire continuously create with its current capabilities and energy source?
Are you still afraid that the Chaos Legion will rush out from the Eye of Terror?
What bugs, orcs and gods were you afraid of at that time?
No wonder the guy from Rock Star ambushed so many people, and even the orcs came to join in the fun. It turned out that everyone was going there for this construction template.
Suddenly enlightened, Zhang Yi shook his head again and asked: "Wait a minute, why does the Mechanicum use keys to transmit circuit diagrams? You know, this method is very dangerous and easy to interrupt."
"The Cardinal Academy of the Mechanicus can only transmit the circuit diagram in this way, because the information exchange between the Imperial Academy and the Mechanicus is monitored and monitored. Any information that may cause problems will be taken back by the Imperial Tribunal. Only artificial
Only by manually communicating and breaking up the entire amount of information can it be safely transferred from the Adeptus Mechanicus."
Zhang Yi waved his hand and said: "There are still many twists and turns in this process that I don't understand, but now is not the time for me to understand. Didn't you just say that as long as I give you this key, you can fulfill my wish?
"
"That's it, tell me, what wish do you want?"
Zhang Yi looked coldly at the dots of red light in the darkness in the distance, and whispered: "I need a weapon that is quiet enough, and the three of them are absolutely safe."
"These are two wishes. You can only choose one, either weapons or safety."
"I hate choices. I've had enough of them."
The young man laughed again, but this time his smile was obviously much more lively than before. He said: "Everyone hates choices, but if life is just a single proposition, then what is the meaning of this life?"
Zhang Yi took a long breath and said: "Okay, okay, I will choose the most realistic one and let this boring revenge process end now. Killing more people will not solve the problem. I think there is something more important now."
Things to do.”
The young man nodded and said: "Wise choice. Although killing may make you progress, it will also make you numb until you feel that life is boring. You and your companions should focus on what should be paid attention to.
Instead of falling into various whirlpools on the earth, don't fight in the Colosseum designated by those people for their appreciation, well, now as you wish, you are all safe, whether it is you or the Domigaro family.
"
"Do you think I need to go to Rockstar now?"
The young man shook his head and replied: "Of course not. Although your fighting level is only comparable to that in this academy, when you really face the unknown future, your current ability is far from enough. The ruins on Rock Planet
It won't take decades to fully excavate it. Although the Mechanicum is encountering some troubles now, now is not the most troublesome time. Letting you pass, although it is said to let you grow, is actually just to continue.
