Chapter 1,223 The Truth
Of course, the two puppets created by Lilina have no souls in their bodies, but this is not because she can't do it - although the fine control of souls is an amazingly difficult thing, creating a soul is surprisingly simple. Almost everyone who can create life in the life system can easily generate souls in the works they create, but Lilina did not do this. (Baishuzhai.)
"Because if you give them souls, then they will be real lives. This Pope will not let the children he created die!" Lilina explained this, with a firm and righteous look on her face - said To be honest, I really didn’t believe that she could say this at first. After all, this guy is as dark as the sky at twelve o’clock at night most of the time. But if you think about it carefully, maybe this is what Lilina really means. speech. Although she seems to be a twisted, moody, and sometimes extremely cruel guy, the other side of Lilina is an almost paranoid "lover". This kind of love does not mean that she is really caring, but that as the pope of the life god system, she has an extreme mentality of rewarding good and punishing evil towards life. As long as a life is innocent, she will show paranoid favoritism, just as she shows extreme cruelty to a guilty life. So from the traditional perspective of a god who decides on mortal affairs, Lilina is also a qualified and strict demigod. I think part of the reason for this "just mentality" that is almost paranoid is due to her experiences in the past three lives, which led her to develop a stubborn judgment on good and evil, but the bigger reason should be Dingdang's transformation. Dingdang asked Lilina to be his chief pontiff, and naturally he had to make her have sufficient qualifications - so Dingdang, that lazy guy, directly imprinted the divine code of the Star Territory into Lilina's soul, so sometimes Sister Bing They will also comment that Lilina is a walking humanoid law: Although this code looks a bit ruthless due to poor installation methods, but how can I say...
As a judge, ruthlessness is probably the greatest virtue.
I was thinking so wildly all the way. The main reason is to ignore the chatter of the little girl next to her. She seems to be full of uncontrollable contempt for false gods like Merova (this is probably also related to the code deep in her soul), and As for the two lamps on the roadside, I would complain for a long time, but this base is surprisingly big. Along the way, we have followed the Merova soldiers through countless laboratories that look exactly the same, and we haven’t reached our destination yet. Lilina, who was extremely bored, began to denounce the Merova people's construction and planning standards - probably to her now, the Merova people were tone-deaf even if they farted.
"I think there should be more than one such experimental base. After all, they have to deal with captured 'natives' from three planets." I tried to divert Lilina's attention slightly, "You see, these areas are all repeated. , so the functions should be similar. This piece should be used to extract the souls of experimental subjects. But I don’t know where they store these souls. The data transmission network here has many nodes of unknown meaning, and it is not easy to enter them easily. It’s really troublesome to plug in the spy port.”
"According to the Pope's advice, go out and spread some viruses or something first," Lilina followed me slowly, and while talking, she started toying with her magical bra cup again, scrolling from a to e. broadcast. "More or less, I'll die... Hey, boss, would it be more suitable for me to have a D cup? How big do you like it to be? Big-breasted elf girls seem to be quite popular - can you feel it?"
"Hey... don't make trouble, we seem to have arrived, they can't stop." I rubbed Lilina's head. In fact, this girl just wanted to increase her presence: although I always thought that her presence was already marked. . But a guy whose life goal is to move around in human form will never think that his sense of existence is high enough.
The Merova soldiers responsible for transporting the experimental subjects stopped on a lifting platform at the end of the corridor, placed the "unconscious" bodies of "Anuza" and "Anouli" in place, and then pressed After pressing a few buttons next to the platform, the task seemed to be completed. They left in a hurry. And before leaving, he kicked two tattered experimental bodies that were burned due to the sparks during the soul extraction, as if he was extremely disgusted. Afterwards, the lifting platform quickly rose and was sent to the upper level of this large and somewhat surprising experimental base. Lilina and I followed closely all the way and saw that the structure of the upper level of the base was completely different from that of the lower level: it looked more open, and the rooms on both sides of the extremely wide corridor were obviously widely spaced, indicating that the laboratories here were no longer the same as those on the lower level. Not a small facility, but a place where large-scale operations take place.
There were two technicians wearing protective suits, as if they were working in a radioactive environment, waiting beside the platform. They confirmed the identification signal on the car, and then pushed it to the nearest laboratory. They just followed them. Entering this room, Lilina and I couldn't help but exclaimed: This place is actually a large operating room?
In the extremely wide hall, there are beds neatly arranged one by one. Each bed is surrounded by the same equipment unit. Above the bed is a mechanical arm that looks like an extrusion tool. Most of the beds were vacant, but on some beds in the far distance, I saw human remains... It seemed like "operations" were constantly being performed here like an assembly line, so that there were always beds occupied.
Such things filled the entire space, almost as far as the eye could see. At first glance, I thought this was a large operating room, but when so many dissecting tables were arranged in front of me, I gradually felt that... this place was used for butchering. Field is more appropriate to describe.
"Boss, I feel... very, very unhappy..." Lilina grabbed my arm and murmured to herself, "Many lives have been lost here... Damn, the body sensitivity of the Life God System is too high... …”
I don’t have a demigod body of the Life God System, but I can feel the weird atmosphere that Lilina mentioned, so I frowned tightly and forced myself to calm down - I must be quiet now, otherwise I I really can't help but tear this place down.
There were many staff in the "operating room" who were also wearing full-body protective suits. They took over the cart, and then very skillfully placed the "experimental subject" on the two nearest vacant beds, and then started the automatic equipment. No human involvement is required at all. The automatically operated dissection robot skillfully... took out the brains of the two puppets.
The automatic equipment sent these two living brains into two translucent spherical containers. I saw that the lower part of the container had a delicate mechanical structure, and the container was filled with a light green solution. There were needle-like things floating in the solution. They sensed that there was a new "guest" in the container, and immediately pierced into the ravine of the brain. Then the device at the bottom of the container began to operate, growing a soft, crystalline texture. The substance gradually merged with the brainstem structure in just one minute. In this way, the brain was packaged and transformed into something that looked like mass production equipment, and was delivered to the staff nearby by a robot.
A staff member holding a recording device in his hand waited for the green light on the surface of the spherical device to light up, and then scanned the upper half of the sphere with the device in his hand, just like a quality inspector inspecting pork while recording data. . While talking to his companions, he said: "Well, he is still healthy. There is a slight injury, probably caused by nerve overload, but it will heal soon. The consciousness has been cleared, and it can be sent directly to the assembly factory and used as a server. Just right."
"Ha. That's all they are used for. They resisted very resolutely back then, but now they are still in the ball." Another staff member looked at the remains lying on the operating table with disdain. The two once complete and young bodies were now beyond recognition. There were traces of burns from the soul extraction equipment all over their bodies, and there were horrifying wounds on their heads. "Okay. Two more. Combine these two scraps with the ones over there." Let’s send all the scraps from beds No. 176 to No. 200 to the factory.”
This is the final fate of the experimental subjects.
Suppose Anuzha and Anulili were brought here. This is the fate they have to face.
This is the fate faced by slaves who were once captured, or resistance fighters who voluntarily infiltrated.
They came here with either their belief in racial freedom or their firm belief in the "merciful God of Merova", and then their souls were drained, their brains were removed, and they were thrown into factories as industrial waste. The "scientists" here use and discard them like assembly line products that are mass-produced and discarded in batches. Without resistance, there is no way to resist - those resistance organization fighters may even give up resistance in order not to expose their identities. In this way, they all became half-dead parts in the Merova machine.
Yes, parts - someone just mentioned the assembly factory, so in the end the packaged brains are just parts installed on something larger, and even the extracted souls may be just parts. A sort of.
I patted Lilina on the shoulder: "Where is your virus?"
"It's enough," Lilina smiled slightly, "Even if the Merova people are strengthened by the old empire, a large number of them will die."
"Don't worry, just give some punishment for the time being," I nodded, "In your words, more or less die first, I don't expect these ace servants to be killed by an infectious disease...be careful when you do it later, Don’t let the Merovans notice that these viruses are foreign products, and be careful not to infect organisms other than the Merovans.”
Lilina showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, boss, I have limited the infection area and will not leave this area."
I let out a breath and suddenly felt that Turazzo had tried his best not to infiltrate the conservative people into Barian's plan. It was really a great blessing for them: Lilina and I didn't have to worry about accidental damage at all this time.
"Boss, are you going to follow them to the assembly factory next?" Lilina followed me and quickly left the slaughterhouse. Seeing that the route was behind the people transporting the "brain balls", she asked curiously, "Then The local defense may be tighter, but we don’t know if our disguise can continue to be effective.”
"You can go as far as you can," I shrugged. "It's not easy to get to this point. I feel panicked if I don't understand what those grandsons are doing."
Lilina said "Oh" and said nothing. She just followed me obediently - she is much quieter now.
We left this "scientific research base" just like this. Fortunately, the Merova people's "assembly factory" is right next to the scientific research base, so they don't need to use space transmission to transport the newly assembled "parts"—— It is also possible that Barian, who has severe distrust syndrome, did not use short-distance space transportation technology in the entire base for the sake of safety. Anyway, this gave Lilina and I a lot of convenience. We carefully sneaked into a huge, boxy building known as the assembly plant.
The "parts" that were delivered here did not go through any handover procedures. Instead, they were escorted by soldiers and brought directly to the "workshop." After passing through the gate of the workshop, Lilina and I were shocked again.
In this vast space, there are a large number of giant equipment that are neatly arranged and basically assembled. Each of these giant devices is more than ten meters high and has a very regular polyhedral shape. Some of their surfaces have been covered with smooth metal armor plates. They were spray-painted with numbers and various signs, and neat interfaces were reserved. Some of them were obviously not yet completed, and the complex internal structures were exposed, except for the circuits and crystallized substrates. It's the brain container that's connected in a neat matrix.
I felt a huge shock, but after calming down, I still did not forget to observe the data interfaces on the giant assembled equipment. These data interfaces were very familiar: they had standard formats, with five crystallized main interfaces and seventeen The conventional secondary interface has twenty-six sets of server insertion terminals arranged in parallel... This is the connection module for the standard host of the empire's large and medium-sized starships, whether it is a mysterious or technological imperial starship. They all use connection modules with the same specifications...are the Merova people using this method to manufacture shipboard hosts? !
These...are shipboard hosts with the human brain as the core?
For a moment, the first thing I thought of was the royal fleet that the Merova people obtained from their elder sister. Their only purpose in creating these copycat hosts must be to control the Xiling starship, and the only starship in their hands worth doing so is the Royal Fleet!
"Dang Dang..." Lilina was stunned. Whispered, "Silent Hill Live!"
I ignored her out-of-the-box associations. After the shock and anger subsided a little, what I felt was more confusion and absurdity - admittedly. The "creativity" of the Merovans using human brains to create starship hosts is really unique, but... are they fools? The matrix that connects human brains, do they want to use this kind of thing to control Imperial starships?
Don’t they know how terrifying the computing power of the Imperial Starship host is? Or is it that Anulili's race is so talented that the brains of hundreds or thousands of people connected in parallel can match the computing power of a Xiling ship-based host?
Problems arise one after another. These giant devices made by the Merova people look very stylish on the outside, but in their bones they rely on fragile carbon-based biological brains to maintain their operation. Even if they use the innate computing power of these brains If it is completely released, it may not be enough to carry the data processing tasks of an imperial starship - indeed, if the brain of a carbon-based creature is extracted, all its brain cells will no longer have to deal with any life-sustaining matters and will simply become The computing power of a computing machine is actually quite powerful, but there is still no chance that this computing power can match that of the Xiling ship-based mainframe. This is a qualitative gap, and it is a qualitative gap that cannot be made up by quantity.
But that’s what the Merovas did!
I quickly organized the little knowledge of Imperial equipment in my head, connected to the database and flipped through the data, and finally came to a conclusion: It is impossible to complete the attack on Imperial starships simply relying on the brains of carbon-based organisms as processing units. According to the data calculation, according to the standards of humans on Earth, after the brain's computing power is completely released, parallel connection to this level can, at most, allow a medium-sized starship to conduct a routine cruise - but it will definitely not meet combat standards. The biggest hurdles are the responsiveness and "hardware indicators" of the carbon-based biological brain. There are so many devices in a starship, from the main gun of the battleship to the lighting and gravity system of a certain section. These things are all in the control network. The working method of the brain of carbon-based organisms is not suitable for processing such delicate and complex things. , even if it is completely transformed into a computing machine. And the indigenous inhabitants of this planet...their brain "efficiency" should be the same as that of the people on Earth. The Merova people seem to have used technological means to ensure that these indigenous people have not suffered from brain structural degeneration after living as primitive humans for such a long time, but This is not enough.
"The biggest advantage of the brain of carbon-based organisms is fuzzy computation and non-linear processing," Lilina suddenly interrupted my thoughts. "The chapter on the working principles of various thinking organs in the life architecture theory has a clear explanation. In In the fields of the above two computing modes, the brain of carbon-based organisms is the only thinking organ that is similar to the imperial starship host. It is probably with this in mind that the Merovans used human brains to connect in parallel to serve as the starship host. Right... Only in this way can they 'artificially' create a processor with fuzzy and non-linear thinking capabilities. This is a key technology that the old empire probably never taught them."
"The problem is that this processor has insufficient power." I expressed my doubts, and at the same time, I suddenly realized what a wise decision it was for Lin Xue to nod and agree to let Lilina follow me: among us, the only one who is right The guy who knows every life form well is this curious lolita. The eldest lady must have predicted Lilina's role at this moment, so she allowed me to take this humanoid knowledge base with me.
With a prophet by my side, everything is sure to be safe...
"The processor power is indeed insufficient," Lilina nodded, her eyes suddenly narrowed, "So they created a soul-driven server...Boss, they also extracted a huge number of souls, didn't they?"
