Chapter 159: Second Authority
"What's going on out there?"
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly ran out of the main hall.
At this time, in the large square directly in front of the main hall, a huge tower was slowly rising from the ground.
"The Central Tower of Light?"
The moment they saw the tower, everyone guessed the name of the tower.
The whole body of the central bright tower is silvery-white, and the body of the tower emits a faint white light, and after half a day, the bright tower stops rising continuously.
The height of the tower is about 900 meters, and the bottom of the tower is very wide, and the higher you go, the narrower it becomes.
"But where do you get in?"
The crowd did not find the entrance at the bottom of the tower.
Boom...... Suddenly, nine soft white beams of light shot out from the silver-white tower, and the white light enveloped the nine people present.
Qi Dong, Su Qianmei, Xu Mingke, and six subordinates of Xu Mingke and Su Qianmei.
Everyone was shocked, they were covered by the beam before they could react.
"What is this?"
Several of the shrouded men hurriedly attacked the mask, but to no avail, and the beam was unbreakable.
Qi Dong and Su Qianmei showed thoughtful expressions, based on the information they had obtained in the branch hall before, they guessed that one of the nine of them would be recognized by the intelligent system in the Bright Tower and gain control of the entire mechanical civilization ruins.
After a few seconds, the nine of them felt their bodies begin to lighten, and then their bodies began to fly up along the beam of light, flying towards the central tower of light.
"Don't struggle, go with it!"
Su Qianmei saw her subordinates attacking the beam in panic, and hurriedly stopped them.
Nine pillars of light covering the nine people shot out from different positions in the Tower of Light, ranging from high to bottom.
The first person to approach the Tower of Light was a member of the military's second elite squad, and the beam of light shot at him was at the very bottom of the Tower of Light, about ten meters above the ground. As he approached the tower, a passage suddenly opened for one person, and when he passed, the passage closed.
The second person approaching the Tower of Light was a member of the military's first elite squad, and his position was seven or eight meters higher than the position of the first person.
Then the third, the fourth...... Xu Mingke was the seventh to enter the tower, and the position he entered was more than 500 meters above the ground.
In the end, only Qi Dong and Su Qianmei were still teleported through the beam, and their position was higher.
The two glanced at each other from a distance, and both could see each other's nervousness.
While they didn't know what the seven people who had already entered the tower would gain, they knew that it was likely that the last person to enter the tower, that is, the person with the highest position of entry, would have the best chance of gaining total control of this steel relic.
The two continued to fly upwards, six hundred meters, seven hundred meters, eight hundred meters above the ground...... There are less than a hundred meters left from the top of the tower.
"Are we going to go to the top together? Whose control will it be? Qi Dong thought to himself.
At this time, the beam on Qi Dong's body suddenly bent, and the beam took Qi Dong half a circle and circled around the other side of the tower.
All the people who entered the tower before, including Su Qianmei, entered from the side of the Guangming Tower facing the main entrance of the central hall, but now, Qi Dong was strangely taken to the other side of the tower.
After being carried by the beam to the other side of the tower, he continued to rise.
"What's going on?"
Qi Dong was taken aback, he and Su Qianmei couldn't see each other anymore.
He hurriedly turned on his spiritual power, and through the scanning of his spiritual power, he found that Su Qianmei was also rising.
Finally, the two were taken by the beam to the very top of the Tower of Light, and then each of them was teleported by the beam from the entrance to the top of the tower.
"It's all at the top of the tower?"
Through his spiritual power, Qi Dong saw Su Qianmei enter the Bright Tower at the same height as him.
"Su Qianmei shouldn't know that I entered the top of the tower with her."
Although Su Qianmei's spiritual power is far inferior to Qi Dong, it is much higher than that of ordinary people. Qi Dong wasn't sure if she would have the skill of mental power scanning, but he didn't feel that he was swept by mental power just now, thinking that Su Qianmei would not use it, or the scope of mental power scanning was too small to scan himself on the back of the tower.
After entering the tower, Qi Dong found that he was still in the beam, and the beam carried him through the corridor in the tower of light for a while, and finally flew in front of a room, the beam disappeared, and Qi Dong landed.
"Here?"
Qi Dong looked at the scene in front of him, the inside of this tower was quite spacious, the walls and doors were all metal alloys, as if it was in a giant spaceship, but the corridor was much wider than the corridor of the spaceship in the science fiction movie.
Click!
The door in front of him suddenly rose upwards and opened.
"Go in and have a look."
Qi Dong walked in.
The room is very large, about more than 200 square meters, and it is very bright inside.
The innermost wall is a huge electronic screen, and below the screen are rows of buttons, as if it were a huge computer.
There are six seats on each side of the room, each with a computer-like device attached to it.
"Here?"
Qi Dong looked at everything in front of him suspiciously.
"This is the second control center of Regios, the capital of steel." In the room, a cold female voice suddenly sounded.
"Who?"
Qi Dong hurriedly turned his head, and the compound sword in his hand was across his chest. When he entered the tower, his psychic power scan was always on, and he didn't notice anyone in the house just now.
Whoa...... The big screen in the room suddenly lit up, and then after a few seconds, a beautiful silver-haired woman in uniform appeared on the screen.
The silver-haired woman has long hair to her waist, a slender and graceful body, wearing a silver-white uniform, indescribably smart and elegant, and the peerless beauty is like a dream.
Her figure and appearance are not worse than Su Qianmei, and even slightly better.
"You are?"
"Don't panic, I'm the intelligent system of the Central Tower of Light, or the intelligent system of the entire steel capital of Regios."
Regios, the capital of steel, is the name of the relics of this mechanical civilization, and Qi Dong, who has the memory of the previous life, naturally knows this name.
"The intelligent system of this ruin? Did you bring us here? ”
Qi Dong was overjoyed, he saw the general intelligence system of the ruins, did the system want to hand over the control of the ruins to himself?
"No, I'll only send you up alone, and the other eight people were brought up by another intelligent system." The silver-haired woman shook her head slightly.
"What? Another intelligent system, is there more intelligent system than you here? ”
"Yes, the Central Tower of Light is the main console of Regios, the capital of steel, and there are two major intelligent systems. I am the second intelligent system, and it is the first intelligent system that transmits the other eight humans. On the screen, the woman said lightly, without any emotional fluctuations in her eyes.
"Second intelligent system, what's going on? Why are they teleported by the first intelligent system, and I am teleported by you? Qi Dong asked curiously.
"Because you are the second authority I selected, and that human woman named Su Qianmei is the first authority selected by the first intelligent system."
"Second Authority, First Authority?" Qi Dong was confused, could this ruin have two controllers, he hadn't heard of this matter in his previous life.
"Well, let me tell you......"
The silver-haired woman on the screen began to explain to Qi Dong, and after a long time, Qi Dong finally understood.
It turns out that this steel city was designed by the humans of the mechanical civilization for the future generations of humans, and the designers deliberately built two total intelligence programs when designing.
From the people who have passed the test of the nine chambers, if the two intelligent programs choose one person together, then this person can control the entire steel city. If the two intelligent programs choose different people, then the Iron Capital is controlled by two people.
The reason for this design is that the designers are worried that the intelligent program will make a mistake in judgment and choose an inappropriate human being.
If the two intelligent programs choose different people and elect two controllers, then the two controllers cannot be opposed to each other, and must be consistent with each other. If there is infighting between the two parties, one of them will be stripped of control, and in severe cases, both will be stripped of control.
The total intelligence system is quite powerful, and they can control the entire ruins, whether they are areas that have been controlled by humans or areas that are not controlled by humans.
This was different from Qi Dong's previous understanding, he had thought that the total intelligence system could only control the areas of the ruins that were not controlled by humans. In the previous life, after the Imperial Military took control of the ruins, they did not take back some of the occupied arsenal control from other humans. It seems that they don't want to stimulate some large guilds, so they haven't taken back control for the time being, after all, there is a total intelligence system, and they can take back control at any time.
When the steel capital of Regios was first opened, the two total intelligent systems woke up. During these three months, they have been observing the humans of the later generations in the ruins, learning the language of the humans of the later generations, and understanding the background of the current world.
When the nine major halls of the central hall were successfully attacked, the central light tower was raised, and each of them in the central light tower selected different authorities.
The first intelligent system chooses Su Qianmei, so Su Qianmei is the first authority. Qi Dong is selected by the second intelligent system, and Qi Dong is the second authority.
As for the other seven people who entered the tower just now, except for Qi Dong and Su Qianmei, it was not that they also gained control, but that they performed extraordinarily in the process of attacking the branch hall, and the intelligent system decided to reward them with something.
The two intelligent systems have different levels of control over the city.
The first intelligent system can control 60% of the entire steel city, while the second intelligent system can control only 40% of the entire city.
In other words, Qi Dong, who is the second authority, has a control area that is twenty percent less than Su Qianmei's control range.
"Damn, am I still a step late, if I came more than a month earlier and attacked one or two more branch halls, it is likely that the two major intelligent systems will choose me as the authority!" Qi Dong whispered in annoyance.
"Not really." The silver-haired woman said: "Even if you attack one or two more branch halls, the result is still like this, and the first intelligent system will still choose Su Qianmei." ”
"Oh? Why is this happening? ”
"The way our two intelligent systems analyze and calculate is different, and they naturally deal with things differently. It has its reasons for choosing Su Qianmei, and I have my reasons for choosing you, and it is not simply based on the number of halls you raid. ”
