Chapter 8: Approaching the Truth
(Thanks to Rozger and Caramel Latte Meow for their tips and support)
As a mechanical organism, once N2 makes a judgment about something, she is able to force it to perform a certain action regardless of the individual's will according to the principle of 'minority obeys majority'. This coercion is not absolute, and individuals with strong enough self-consciousness are able to resist it, but the intelligence of mechanical life forms is generally low, and very few are able to do this.
In this sense, N2 can be described as a god of mechanical life, but there is no corresponding religious belief, and after she decided to let Lyle go, the actions of the three of Lyle can be described as extremely calm.
Realizing this, Lyle is not in a hurry to go to the stronghold of the Cyborg Resistance, walk around the city a little, and see more of the world a thousand years later-
"That's really ...... Superb view......" Lyle stood on the suspension bridge, looking at the waterfall in the distance, and let out a heartfelt admiration.
Having endured all kinds of experiments in the laboratory since he was conscious, and after escaping from the laboratory and hiding in various places, he had never had the opportunity to see such magnificent scenery.
However, the sorrow implied by this magnificent scenery was not rejoicing, and after the emotion had passed, Lyle looked down at the deep bottom of the canyon where there was no end in sight, and muttered, "As you know, I am the man who hastened the demise of all mankind for the sake of his own freedom, so I don't pretend that Our Lady laments the destruction of the earth by war...... However, I don't think I have time to intervene in the war that can create this kind of terrain. ”
Abilities are there, and in the knowledge that appeared in his mind for no apparent reason, there are no less than a hundred technologies that can defeat enemies with such combat power. But turning these technologies into real weapons requires a lot of time and materials, and it is impossible to do so when an unknown being has discovered it.
This is the limit of scientists, their knowledge needs to be presented to external objects, restricted by the external environment, and directly discarded when conditions do not allow. As for the magicians who are typical, part of their knowledge is directly presented to themselves, and as long as the conditions are not too harsh, they can exert their power - this is one of the reasons why the reincarnation god puts the 'world of supernatural abilities' above the 'world of science'.
"Master, in fact we've always believed that mechanical lifeforms have some power to spare."
"Even the existing armaments of the Jiye army cannot do such things as opening up canyons and forming deserts, and coupled with the disadvantage in numbers, it is difficult to imagine that the battle between artificial and mechanical life forms can last for a thousand years."
Live a long life and see a lot, Deboro and Popolo can see more clearly than other androids, but it's a pity that modelism is prevalent, they don't have a say at all in the android group, and no matter how valuable their opinions are, they don't know any more valuable opinions.
Lyle had only seen the combat effectiveness of the lower-level mechanical lifeforms, but had not seen the actual performance of the higher-level mechanical lifeforms, ordinary human beings, and members of the Parasitic Leaf Army, and said unexpectedly when he heard this: "Have spare strength?" Can you think of a possible reason? ”
The two sisters shook their heads, "I'm sorry, but we couldn't get an answer from the fact that there are mechanical lifeforms that can communicate all over the world. ”
"According to common sense, what the alien invaders want is nothing more than one of the three of 'homeland', 'resources', and 'slaves', and there is no reason to deliberately delay a war that can be easily fought...... What the hell is going on? No matter how much Lyle thought about it, he would never have thought that mechanical lifeforms needed 'enemies' to maintain the existence of the race, and there was too little information, "By the way, you just said that there are mechanical lifeforms that can communicate?" ”
Lyle knew that mechanical beings would speak, and there had been a few encounters on the way from the northern part of the desert to the southern part of the city, and the mechanical lifeforms at that time had said things like 'kill', 'hateful androids', and 'fight for their companions', and the words were very monotonous, as if a recording was playing, but they were really talking.
"There are rumors of highly intelligent and unbelligerent mechanical lifeforms, but we haven't seen them with our own eyes." Deboro struggled to convey the information he knew correctly and completely, and the Creator, who had been kept cold for millennia, needed information rather than rumors, "We have only seen all sorts of mechanical lifeforms, which are more focused on one thing than fighting. ”
Bobolo gave an example: "In the case of 'racing', there will be flying mechanical lifeforms that will transform themselves faster than their peers, invite passing androids to race against them, and give resources as gifts if they lose...... After losing, they tend to continue to strengthen themselves and try to make themselves fly faster, but because of unscientific transformation, they will one day self-destruct in the race. ”
"Huh~ Isn't that cute?" Lyle hugged the back of his head and walked back along the suspension bridge across the canyon, "If Zero and X can't intervene in the war by force, will trying to negotiate peace be a way out~"
》》》》》》》
The city's android Resistance stronghold was set up in a clearing surrounded by four dilapidated buildings that were not at risk of collapse, with a simple iron barrier at the entrance, and a sentry who condescendingly monitored the situation outside...... No, there are no automatic turrets, no energy shields, no optical camouflage devices, no signal jamming devices and other defenses.
This stronghold is 'the same on the outside', and if it hadn't been known in advance that it was a military stronghold, Lyle would have thought it was a refugee camp. In fact, there are some advanced equipment in it, but the goods are piled up on the side of the road, the quartermaster and the arms dealer sit on the ground and set up stalls, and the dirty clothes that have not been changed for I don't know how many years, so that Lyle subconsciously gives a low evaluation of the equipment after a thousand years.
The only thing that can comfort me is that I don't know if the area where this stronghold is located is "arched" due to the war, or the area below is "landslided" due to the war, there is a small pond under the stronghold, there are some small fish in the small pond, and the nearby is full of green plants, as long as you don't look at the abandoned buildings next to it, the scenery is quite good.
"Just don't bother us." The commander of this stronghold, Ah Wu, replied a little coldly, but allowed Deboro, Bopolo, and Lyle to apply for residency, which was countless times more kind than the model who would expel them from the place.
"Thank you very much." The negotiation work is in charge of the more outgoing Deboro, of course, in front of outsiders, she still has the same poker face, no different from Bobolo, "Is there a job we can do?" ”
Lyle needs to divert supplies to make himself some tools and equipment, and a job is a must.
However, Ah Wu did not trust the newcomers for the time being, and asserted his refusal: "Not for the time being, you guys wait for a while." ”
“…… Understand. Deboro had no choice but to turn around and report to Lyle.
In the past, they had to wait carefully, start with unimportant work, and show their worth in exchange for a seat, but now they ...... No motivation at all. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
