"Ahh I understand. After listening to what Shang Luo said, Phaethon nodded, "I originally thought that the world was invincible, but I didn't expect that there would be an opponent that even you find tricky." Or four or five at once? ”

"Actually, I don't have to look for you. But. I don't really want to see old businessmen right now. I don't even want to see him when I can't help it. This is a family issue, and I hope you don't pursue it. ”

"Understood." Phaethon nodded, "My family situation is also complicated, I can understand it. But the automaton thing may not be what you think - the Vulcan core has a drawback, which is that it is quite heavy, it is very heavy. It can only be used in facilities that are not sensitive to weight, such as boats and factories. If used in a racing car, the power provided by the same weight of the 'Vulcan core' is much smaller than that of a fuel engine of the same weight. For example, "

She thought for a moment:

"For example, in the decades since the advent of automata, the most commonly used place is still to do housework. Because of the power limit of the humanoid automaton, it can only do housework, and it can only do relatively light housework. Sweeping the floor, doing laundry, cooking, etc. ”

"Is there any?"

"Well, I'm sorry, but there is no but. If the power of this thing was really high, then the Colombian side would have torn up with us a long time ago, and we wouldn't have to wait until the lighthouse system was launched. Maybe he'll be useful in the future, but time isn't on their side - but let's be honest, it's really convenient to use it for household chores. Many Roman senators have already replaced natural person maids with automaton maids, which is quite useful. It seems that at the size of a 'human', the efficiency of the automaton is quite high. It's not so good outside of manpower. ”

"Wait." Shang Luo blinked, "I mean maybe, is it possible that some automata have already mixed in with the Romans?" After all, you said that they can fulfill the functions of people? Is it possible for them to pretend to be adults? ”

"It's unlikely. The reason I've already mentioned is that automata sometimes have intelligence comparable to that of humans, but they can't speak human language. Besides, even if it is mixed in, or even betrayed, the power of the automaton is nothing more than the power of one person, and even weaker than ordinary people. ”

"How weak?"

"The strength of the sixteen-year-old middle school girl who is weak and can't help but go on a diet to keep her figure is only at this level. If the wind is strong, you may be able to blow it down. ”

"But people can use tools." Shang Luo looked at her, "Don't you think it's scary?" A group of intelligent beings with similar human beings, even if their physical strength is weaker than that of humans, they can still use tools. ”

"So, that's why Alexander's Muses think it's dangerous — and of course, the Colombian side also thinks it's dangerous to get into the husk."

"I think both of you are dangerous!"

"Then I think your evil spirit is also dangerous! That thing is going to explode! Your aura is also very dangerous, if suddenly a 'those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die' come out to fight for the destiny of heaven, wouldn't it be to kill the sky and blood flowed like a river? ”

"Ahh As soon as he said this, Shang Luo suddenly thought of another layer, "The person you are talking about seems to be me." But I'm not going to fight for Destiny, although it seems like I can. Probably because I think that although this is not my own home, it is not a jungle of the jungle, but more like the home of relatives - so in my personal interests, I don't need to fight for any 'destiny', 'luck' and so on. Because everyone is already helping me, I can cultivate faster if I help everyone. ”

But what if you switch to another person?

Spiritual power can activate a person's potential, and there is no upper limit in sight, and it can lead all the way to the infinite avenue. And such absolute force is currently in the hands of the right people: but it can be completely in the hands of the wrong people, turning the world into a world of cultivating immortals with the only priority of cultivating immortals, and there are mountain gates full of flies and dogs, everyone shouts "Those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die", and people who do not have the talent of cultivating immortals are not even qualified to be a background board.

It's not impossible. Because although the purpose of cultivating immortals is to "live forever and see for a long time", but there are many immortal cultivators and have their own society, so they don't have to go to the society of "long-sighted" mortals all the time.

So.

[So from the very beginning, you have strictly adhered to the principle that 'Qi practitioners must be cultivated as human beings', and this is precisely for this purpose. If the Qi Practitioner evolves, it will be no different from becoming a different species. Like. Automata, just like those dolls powered by automata. It's just that they're weaker, and the qi practitioners are stronger. They can be human or not. So. 】

Apollonia paused: [That's why the Pure Land is so crucial. With the Pure Land, we can ensure that all of us survive as one species, rather than being divided into two parts, heavenly and mortal. 】

"But the Romans couldn't solve this problem." Shang Luo said in a deep voice, "I can see that Rome has indeed found its way to infinity—and two at a time. Although we also know about the aura here in addition to the evil qi, the degree of completion is obviously not too high. But the Romans didn't have to be touched by others, and they cracked themselves. I said, "Miss Phaethon, which side do you support?" ”

"Actually, I prefer automata because it's more fun, but I don't agree with myself. I am a Greek, I support the oracle, and I will always support Miss Apollonia. ”

[Hmph, there is no little red flower in the utilitarian hand! ] 】

"I'm serious!"

[Cut, it's not the first day I've known you. 】

"But I really think that Apollonia is the key to saving Rome!"

Shang Luo sat next to him, eating peach crisp: "The relationship between the two of you is really good, you obviously can't hear it, and you can still talk back and forth." It's a must to talk about cross talk, even if one is drunk, the other can continue to talk with consciousness. ”

"Ugh." Faethon sighed, "In short, the future situation can be predicted. Without the shackles of scientific ethics in the Muses, Colombia would have to start like a starting gun – they were the 'Western Romans' after all, and they shared weal and woe with our 'Eastern Rome'. But now that the two sides have broken up, what they were previously unable to do due to scientific ethics can now all take off. ”
