"Look! That's a warship exchanging fire!"
"What battleship? Oh - my God! Is there going to be another war? Who is it this time?"
"I don't know. But these battleships don't look like our own."
"Could it be some other alien race attacking us?"
"The disaster caused by the Tyranids has just passed. Can't we just let us live a comfortable life for two days?"
…
As the Tau's warships, carrier-based aircraft, landing craft, and powered mechas continued to exchange fire and explode in outer space, they eventually turned into huge fireballs that fell into the atmosphere under the influence of the planet's gravity. The human residents who were placed in the city began to
Showing nervousness and worry.
But what makes them feel strange is that even if there is a fierce battle in outer space orbit, the New Phyrexia creations in the city that are usually responsible for providing various public services still do not react at all.
Not even a warning siren was sounded.
Even if someone takes the initiative to ask if they need to take refuge, or if they pick up weapons and prepare for defense, the answer they receive is that everything is business as usual and there is no need to worry.
This undoubtedly confused the human residents who were fully armed and ready to fight to the death during the Tyranid invasion.
But soon, they discovered that the debris falling from the sky would suddenly hit an invisible force field about three to five kilometers away from the ground, and everything would instantly explode and disintegrate into dust and slide to both sides, even a single part.
None of them fall within the city limits.
You must know that the falling wreckage is a standard low-speed target, and theoretically the void shield cannot intercept it.
But the invisible force field that shrouded the city perfectly intercepted everything falling at low speeds.
As for those laser weapons and high-energy particle weapons that were accidentally shot to the ground during the battle, they were intercepted by the void shield. They also only looked scary but actually did zero damage.
In addition, there are a large number of New Phyrexia artifacts scattered throughout the city's streets and alleys and underground fully automated factories, as well as a large number of weapons and equipment provided for the imperial army, which can arm an army of staggering scale and powerful firepower at any time.
.
Therefore, after experiencing the initial commotion, most residents found that the battle in outer space did not seem to have much impact on them, so they quickly relieved their uneasiness.
There are even some people who like to join in the fun, gathering in groups in open-air restaurants and parks, drinking alcoholic drinks and eating snacks while enjoying the wonderful "fireworks show" above their heads.
After all, whether it is space battleships, carrier-based aircraft, or power armor, in the eyes of these civilians who used to live at the bottom of society, they are all luxuries, and they cannot exchange for one even if they use their own lives.
But now, these expensive luxury goods are constantly exploding into brilliant and dazzling flames, which are very exciting just looking at them.
In addition, the idle life has made people who were used to doing high-intensity work for more than ten hours a day feel restless. Now that they know that this battle will not affect the ground, they immediately turn into people watching the excitement.
After all, not everyone likes electronic entertainment, and not everyone can play games that require a lot of complex operations and thinking.
Some people even had never touched any electronic devices before being sent to Zuo Si.
You must know that the upper and lower limits of the empire's civilian class are astonishing.
In a place with a relatively high level of education like Terra, more than 70% of civilians can complete systematic education and obtain at least one or two professional certificates.
Even if you can't engage in research and development work, you can still produce and maintain high-tech items like power mechas, knight mechas, and spaceships.
To be precise, the human empire's most important technological research and development and production of cutting-edge weapons and equipment are basically completed within the solar system.
As for skills like programming, it is something that anyone with no problem with intelligence can do.
The two most important planets in the solar system are Terra (Earth) and Mars.
Therefore, the education systems of these two planets also produce the largest number of talents.
In contrast, in remote border areas like the Bottas Sector, although it cannot be said that per capita prenatal education is out of school, the level of education is indeed a bit ridiculously low.
Among them, on planets where slavery or serfdom is practiced and agriculture and animal husbandry are mainly developed, more than 95% of the population can be illiterate.
After all, farming and grazing does not require any culture at all. You only need to learn to operate simple and durable machinery, and then follow the instructions of the planetary governor to sow and harvest on time on your own farm.
It has to be said that this scene of using extremely advanced agricultural tools to pioneer interstellar lands while letting illiterate serfs and slaves farm and herd animals is really full of ironic magic.
This is why the human empire clearly possesses such advanced technology, but the differences between various star regions and even planets in the same star region are so huge.
Although some of them are unwilling to share the relationship between knowledge and technology of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the more common reason is that education has not kept up, resulting in many planets having huge populations but very low knowledge and quality.
Even if you are given advanced technology and equipment, you still can't make it work.
You must know that humans completely banned artificial intelligence after the Iron Man Rebellion.
Without the assistance of convenient artificial intelligence, a large number of highly qualified engineers are needed to handle complex equipment and technologies.
This is exactly what many planets lack most.
Some large hive worlds that used to rely on artificial intelligence to operate have even gradually turned into out-and-out purgatory due to the lack of effective management methods.
After all, humans can never be truly fair, just, and efficient like artificial intelligence.
This means that when a large number of people are used to replace artificial intelligence, a very important problem in human history will inevitably arise, namely bureaucracy.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! No matter what kind of ideology and system, as long as people still have selfish motives, desires, and vanity, then the emergence of bureaucracy, corruption, and seeking power for personal gain is an inevitable social phenomenon
.
The only thing those in power can do is to limit and restrict it as much as possible, but cannot completely eradicate it.
On Earth in the 21st century, a country with only tens of millions or at most a billion people has such serious bureaucracy, not to mention the hive world's terrifying population of hundreds of billions or trillions.
The reason why the empire's top officials don't treat people as human beings is, to a certain extent, a manifestation of extreme bureaucracy.
At least in Zuo Si's view, there is no essential difference between the empire and the devils in hell in terms of military, governance, taxation and administration.
However, he obviously has no time to pay attention to the people who are full and watching the excitement. He does not care whether these people waste all their time on entertainment, eating and drinking, or learn various knowledge and techniques through electronic devices.
Anyway, all he needs is faith and soul.
At this moment, Zuo Si was watching with great interest that Tzeentch's electronic demons were invading the entire planet's surface through the spaceport's electronic communication equipment at extremely fast speeds.
You must know that both the spaceport and the foundry planet that originally belonged to the Mechanicum originally had a large number of electronic equipment and computer networks.
Although everything has been completed after being injected with Shimmering Oil, and actually has independent consciousness and thinking, and will not be controlled by fixed programs like before, the subspace chaos code that invades along the network and model can still be
Smoothly get into various memories and cause some chaos.
Of course, this little confusion is the limit.
As Shuoyou began to carry out large-scale counter-infection under the control of Zuo Si, all the electronic components carrying these subspace codes were quickly dismantled into tiny units that were indistinguishable to the naked eye, and then interfered with its operation through continuous reorganization.
.
After a while, the core part of this "electronic devil" was completely exposed before his eyes.
It was an angry thing hidden among countless electronic signals, frantically hitting the control switches linked to all the electronic components and screaming.
There are many small openings on its true form. One moment it is a ball of pink steam, the next moment it becomes a lot of numbers, and the next moment it becomes a line of light on a circuit board.
"Hmm... It looks a bit like a subspace magic modified version of the binary code of the Mechanicus. It is something that can be self-derived and replicated without human control, but it is not an artificial intelligence. If you guessed correctly, this
It should be the work of the Dark Mechanicus."
Zuo Si only glanced twice and made a quick judgment.
As the owner of Shuoyou, he has already stored a huge amount of knowledge in this area in his brain.
To be precise, as long as it is completely decomposed by Shuoyou, the knowledge, technology and information contained in it will be automatically saved and quickly transferred between Shuoyou, and finally transmitted to the real owner through contact.
This is also why Yawgmoth, the creator of old Phyrexia, was clearly not a planeswalker, but he was able to pin down a group of planeswalkers with power comparable to the gods and rub them on the ground repeatedly.
It's just that Zuo Si has never used shimmering oil to perfect himself before, so his utilization efficiency in this aspect is far less than the former.
But now, his incarnation is made entirely of metal and shimmering oil, and he can finally unleash the full power of shimmering oil.
When the entire Bottas sector, whether inhabited or uninhabited planets, is completed and controlled by Shimmering Oil, a terrifying natural disaster that devours everything can be set off in the universe in minutes.
"Master, what do you plan to do with this electronic demon?"
A New Phyrexia creature asked in an emotionless tone.
Zuo Si smiled meaningfully and replied: "Of course to complete it! Turn it into a tool in our hands! Go and prepare a copy of No. 40 Glitter Oil. I want to see if this chaotic code can stop the professional
A model being developed to deal with the evil god of subspace."
"No. 40 sparkling oil?!"
Hearing these words, even the Shuoyou creature, who had never had any emotional ups and downs, couldn't help but raise his head. The face made of metal and flesh suddenly showed an extremely shocked expression.
Because the No. 40 Shimmering Oil is completely different from the previous models, whether it can even be called "Shining Oil" is open to question. It is completely the use of the rules of the subspace of this universe.
To be continued...
