Chapter 276: Machine Zero

The core of power in this world has always been held by high-end military personnel, presenting a natural pyramid structure, which also indirectly determines the material content of production in the operation of the whole society, as well as the relationship between people and the use of means of production.

The current pattern of the Middle Continent Divine Continent and the chaotic situation after the collapse of the Taiyin Dynasty completely verify this logic.

"Therefore, as long as there is a stronger force to overthrow the existing power core, the entire power system can be subverted, which is the so-called 'Heaven Creation Plan'...... The goal of the Thunderbolt Central Plains version of the 'Heaven-Making Project' is to dispel the strife in the world, abolish the martial arts of the world, and thus eliminate the endless killing and bloodshed, meaningless ambition and conquest, but this method does not solve the problem at the root......"

"In this kind of world where martial arts prevail, practicing martial arts can change the circumstances of a person's life, just like buying a lottery ticket to win the jackpot, it is a simple greed that everyone hopes from the heart, just like the ancient world official system, the inspection system, the nine products of the Zhongzheng system, and the imperial examination system, are all a promotion channel born in order to maintain the old ruling order, and it is also the only way to change the birth, appearance, and foundation, so as to ascend to the sky in one step......"

"Martial arts, in this world, this is the channel...... Even if the use of force is artificially abolished, it does not mean that ambition is abolished, and if a high-martial world wants to maintain long-term stability, it needs a stable and mature government institution, as well as a complete set of perfect social systems......"

Lu Qi believes that he can create this, and to accomplish this, he must overthrow the existing world structure, and this giant puppet known as "Machine Zero" is his first attempt to achieve his goal.

It is impossible for a big force with strong force such as the Three Veins, Seven Sects and Nine Valves to tolerate the existence of a centralized feudal ruling force like the White Horse Dynasty or the current Taiyin Dynasty.

In fact, sooner or later, the conflict between the two will erupt, because each other's core interests are completely in conflict with each other.

A qualified, stable, and mature governance system requires a stable political environment, a sustainable and developable economic base, and a population that can govern.

A big force like the Three Veins, Seven Sects and Nine Valves would not like such a regime, because it means that the interests in their hands will be reduced more and more.

Power, the population under control, and the benefits brought by a stable social environment do not have much meaning for such a big force, and most resources are also of little significance to the existence of the apex of the martial arts pyramid, or the high-end martial arts of the big power themselves means power and resources.

Basically, the cultivation of high-end martial artists means expansion, and they themselves can use supernatural force to achieve strong domination without relying on too much external force, which also means that high-end martial artists do not care about the external environment.

Even in the troubled times with frequent battles, the high-end martial artists of the Three Veins and Seven Sects will not care too much about the fundamental impact of the environment they are in, it is better to say that a chaotic world of conquest is more in line with their good time to expand their own interests, after all, the troubled times produce heroes.

On the contrary, a highly centralized central dynasty would only allow their own interests to be encroached upon.

Therefore, for the destruction of the Taiyin Dynasty, the three veins, seven sects and nine valves are undoubtedly happy to see it.

"The feudal remnants of the Three Veins and Seven Sects, which are high-martial arts, are behind the times, and if they are backward, they will be beaten...... Moreover, their presence is quite an eyesore to me. ”

If Lu Qi wants to rule the entire Central Continent and exercise centralized control, then the existence of the Three Veins and Seven Sects will have conflicts and contradictions with himself.

Most of the time, the people of the Three Veins and Seven Sects infiltrate the newly rising ruling power at this time, and arrange their own agents in them to attach themselves to a new dynasty, but in fact they are a parasitic tumor on a new dynasty.

During the reign of White Horse Taizu, or the entire White Horse Dynasty, they chose to compromise with each other with the three veins, seven sects and nine valves, which led to hundreds of years of stable rule. But then there was a conflict between the two sides, and the White Horse Dynasty was destroyed.

The successor feudal ruling regime, that is, the Taiyin Dynasty, did not completely compromise with the sectarian forces such as the Three Veins and the Seven Sects, because the Taiyin Dynasty itself transitioned from the sectarian power to the central ruler, which means that the official face is not friendly with the sect, and the two sides fought openly and secretly for a hundred years, and finally the top warriors of the Taiyin Dynasty shrank, which led to the rise of this great controversy in the turmoil.

Lu Qi naturally could not choose to compromise with the sectarian forces, and in order to fight them, he would take an extreme way to destroy the "things" that people in this world were accustomed to.

And the thing he relies on is naturally this "zero machine".

————————

In the harbor area of Longhuo Island, a crucial experiment is underway.

The giant golem is hoisted by axle steel cables, showing the upper body standing upright and the lower body sitting on the ground.

Half of its body leaned against the cliff, and its locks, ropes, and nails held it firmly to the cliff face.

Using scaffolding made of bamboo, the craftsmen moved up and down the giant's body to confirm the work of the test.

In addition, Lu Qi also found a large number of people from the Shark Clan to be responsible for other work.

"Then, the first set of tests of machine zero is on."

"The artificial life soul is relatively stable and can move on to the next stage ......"

"The signals that simulate the martial veins and secret techniques are also in a stable state, and the experiment can be continued."

After this period of getting along, many craftsmen have adapted to Lu Qi's strange speech, and even unconsciously imitated their mannerisms.

As long as the craftsmen have a little bit of craftsmanship, they can feel Lu Qi's outstanding skills, in fact, this journey from the middle land to the sea, Lu Qi has demonstrated his craftsman skills many times, so that most of the craftsmen are impressed by him.

And this transformation experiment is even more amazing to them.

It's just that no one knows how important this transformation experiment is for the future of the entire Central Continent.

They just followed Lu Qi's instructions and took responsibility for their own work seriously.

However, the most difficult work at this stage is the work of artificial life souls and martial veins.

This was done entirely by Lu Qi, the inventor of the technology, and the difficulty of this step was to implant a nerve-like connection device that simulated martial arts veins in the spine.

It was a mixture of gold, silver, and various materials, enclosed in copper pipes, embedded in the back of the giant golem, and connected to the spine by a steel bolt.

Through the spine, the torso, limbs, and the whole body are diffused, and more subtle operations are carried out locally to ensure that the simulated martial arts can be officially operated.

And the next step is the implantation of the artificial life soul, Lu Qi stripped the existing artificial life soul from the Yuan Huang puppet and transplanted it directly into the martial vein of this zero machine, completing this step.

This also caused three more Yuan Desolation Puppets to lose their effect.

But it's all worth it, because the value of getting a giant puppet is far more than just a few Yuan Desolate puppets.
