446 Brain in a Jar
At the same time that Gray Wind recognized the emblem of the Holy Hammer Order of the Inquisition, the other party also recognized the Gray Gu Banner of the Human Alliance Fleet, and suddenly, the fierce and vicious attitude of the Inquisitors towards the refugees was reined in, and the imposing Black Ship Fleet quickly became pleasant, and a gentle and cordial greeting came from the public frequency radio.
"Federal Pseudo-...... Hello fellow citizens of the Human Federation, I am Aimé Cancius, High Inquisitor of the Terra Inquisition, and on the orders of Lord Kaul, the Martian Foundry General, and His Majesty the Regent Killiman, we are on duty to recover the untouchables. ”
The tone of the other party was modest, sincere, with a slight Terra accent of standard high Gothic, every word and pronunciation was like opera rather than normal speech, and it was clear that the man named Amécansius was a well-established Inquisitor of Terra origin, and his status in the Inquisition and even in the Terra government was not low.
"Aimme Cancius...?" Russell's eyes were slightly condensed, and he seemed to have a little impression of this name.
"Because he is a big buyer of our artificial blackstone, about 17% of the blackstone goods sold to the human empire are digested by him, this person is very close to Mars, and I have glanced at his name twice when I read the financial report."
After a few moments, Grey Wind quickly called up his profile: "Amé Cancius, a Terra inquisitor, comes from the Mississippi family, a traditional noble family in Terra, and his father, Erdoshan Mississippi, participated in the political struggle for the mobile seat of the High Lord, although he was not elected in the end, but being qualified to compete for the position of High Lords is in itself a testament to the strength of his power. ”
"Recently, due to the return of Robert Killiman, the original high lord was purged, and Terra was in the midst of employment, and Amé Cancius's father, after a series of political struggles, succeeded in ascending to the throne and is the current head of the Imperial Justice."
Russell became a little interested: "The son of the high lord? It's kind of interesting. ”
Grey Wind used to bring up the information of Amé Cancius's father: "Erdoshan Mississippi, the current Minister of Justice of the Empire, is conservative and loved by the people because of his generous and benevolent governance philosophy, specifically, he only kills 666666 commoners every day for fun, less than most Imperial officials, so he has always been a well-known benevolent and benevolent person in the Terra government, and has been valued by Killeman for this. ”
Russell nodded thoughtfully: "It is indeed a good person." ”
With such a kind and generous father, I don't think Ime Cancius should be a particularly radical inquisitor.
This judgment was correct, and in the tone of Inquisitor Aimé Cancius in the voice array communication channel, the tone was very sincere: "We have no intention of hindering your movements, but these refugee ships are hiding precious targets that we are looking for, and now more than ever, Mars needs untouchables, just take them and we will leave immediately." ”
"May I ask you why Mars needs untouchables?" Russell asked, "And what's going on with the jump engine on your ship?" ”
"This ......" Aime Cansius was a little embarrassed: "The content of your question belongs to the highest level of top secret sealed by the original body himself, and I am not qualified to leak it to the outside world, sir, please don't embarrass me." ”
"Then come to someone who is qualified." Russell said lightly.
"You!" Amé Cancius was in a hurry, Russell's arrogant attitude made him angry, why was he still so aggressive when he had been as polite and friendly as possible? Who does he think he is?
"If it weren't for the fact that the original body took care of the overall situation and ordered us not to conflict with the people of the federal puppet regime as much as possible, so as not to cause a civil war in the human race and benefit the alien fisherman, how could I be so ......angry" Amé Cancius gritted his teeth in his heart, but still maintained a proper social demeanor on the surface, and he said politely: "Okay, I'll join the Great Sage and let Master Kaul talk to you." ”
"Kaul?" Russell was a little surprised: "Kaul actually came with you. ”
"Not the casting of the General himself, but a self-conscious replica of him installed in the Jump Engine, where the Contemplative will make suggestions and judgments on some things based on Lord Kaul's memories, this is by no means an evil artificial intelligence." Aime Cancius said, plugging a special frequency band into the communication with Russell.
Russell nodded slightly: "It seems that this is how Kaul controls the jump engine, it is indeed Kaul's style, he doesn't trust anyone, he only trusts himself." ”
So Kaul simply installed a backup of his own consciousness in each Echizen engine.
'Deteriorating Kaul' is connected to the comms.
Russell tried to ask Kaul about the Aether Worm, the Bio-Jump Engine, and the Untouchable, but got only a very formulaic official answer, like talking to a rigid machine, and no matter how he asked, the answer was always that the servants of the God of All Machines would keep the secrets of the Machine.
It wasn't until Grey Wind revealed that he had a dehydrated starch electromagnetic heater handed down from the 2K era in his hand, intentionally or unintentionally, that the deteriorating Kaul finally couldn't resist the temptation to give up the disguise of a rigid contemplator, revealing his greedy nature.
After giving the dehydrated starch electromagnetic heater called the 'Toaster' to the deteriorating Kaul, Russell got some progress on the Biojump Engine project, as well as something about the untouchable.
"In order to unravel the secrets of the Aether Giant Worm, Kaul mobilized the biological sages of all Mars, as well as the Lunar Gene Priest who participated in the Astarte research and development project back then, and the most cutting-edge biological researchers of the Human Empire participated in the grand event under the leadership of the Great Sage, and together they dismantled every protein chain and base of the Aether Giant Worm."
Kaul discovered that the Tyranid creatures themselves could not make the physical faster-than-light jump, and what made them transcend time and space and distort dimensions was a special and powerful strange gene, which was neatly arranged and aggressive, even more ...... than the genetic factors of the original gene Perfect. ”
A small part of the object log has been erased here, with several biological sages, unable to accept the existence of more perfect beings in the world than the original genotype, and attempting to accuse Kaul's research of heresy.
Kaul killed them all.
Research continues.
"It took a long time and a lot of work to isolate the entire genetic chain named 'Dragon Lineage' from Tyran's huge genetic database."
"Kaul initially hoped to use biotechnology to clone the mythical creature known as the Aether Dragon, but his attempt failed, so he had to settle for the next best thing, using genetic technology to modify other creatures to mimic the process of the Aether Dragon tearing through the dimension."
"This time, Kaul succeeded, he connected 1,919 complete human brains together to form an operational array, successfully simulated the operation principle of the biological jump engine, and achieved the first experimental physical faster-than-light jump, which was named 'Brain in a Jar'."
"But the problem that followed, the Chaos Evil God was extremely hostile to the biological jump engine that could free the human empire from subspace navigation, and after only a few trial runs, the first generation of 'brain in a jar' showed signs of being contaminated by Chaos, and malicious offensive code began to use the biological jump engine as a starting point, paralyzing the main body of the warship carrying it, and destroying one of the orbital starports of Mars."
"In the end, Kaul chose to import the 'Blackstone Obelisk' to the Human Federation, and solved the problem of chaos pollution by installing the brain in the 'Exorcism Death Domain' created by the Obelisk Array, but this move aroused the suspicion and suspicion of the Terra government - if our self-developed jump engine needs to rely on the protection of the Black Stone of the Human Federation to operate normally, then what is the point of this so-called 'independent research and development'?"
Kaul felt that the High Lord's claim was not unreasonable, the line of communication was the lifeblood of the Human Empire, and every cell of the biological leap engine derived from the dragon lineage must be completely in the hands of the Human Empire, and other things could be imported and relied on, but only this matter must not be compromised.
So Kaul came up with another solution, one that could be done using the existing conditions of the Human Empire:
"Use the brains of the 'untouchables' to assemble an array of contemplatives and drive the bio-leap engine."
