"I feel that Xi'an has a monopoly and control over technology and also targets the Shangcheng District," Xisen said quietly. "For example, there are main gods in the pantheon of gods, and there are heroic spirits in the Hall of Valor who have already obtained eternal life. For example, when the canopy was built, Xi'an had already mastered it. There are secrets about dark matter, such as where the energy that supports the operation of uptown comes from. There are many, many examples."
Li Liang said in disbelief, "Don't you question it?"
Dr. Xisen looked into Li Liangyou's eyes and said, "Xian explained everything as a miracle."
"miracle?"
Dr. Xisen thought for a while and said
"When technology advances to a certain extent, it becomes counter-intuitive and counter-experience. As everyone who studies biology knows, the reason why humans age and die is not because of a major collapse of a single non-functioning cell, but because of the sudden collapse of a single non-functioning cell. Over time, cells lose the ability to regulate and coordinate genes. Putnam's laboratory has been studying telomeres for many years, but has never been able to allow cell division to exceed the Hayflick limit. For us, immortality is an unreachable secret.
However, Xi'an did it so easily that we can't understand it. At this time, Xi'an told us that eternal life is a gift from the twin gods to piety.
The urban areas of seven cities are connected through a transmission device. I saw with my own eyes that the human body was quantized and reconstructed on the other side within a few seconds. The Putnam Branch in Mexico has not yet understood the properties of quantum. I hope An said that it was a call from the twin gods.
This is true in every field. Everything we cannot understand is a miracle. "
Immortality, teleportation...
It doesn't sound like science, but it sounds like spiritual application.
Li Liang remembered the video he had seen at the weapons base underground in Ex Machina. "He" probably started to transform into "Celestial Spirit" before the nuclear war.
If the "Sky Spirit" is related to Emperor Haotian, then the "technology" that Xi'an possesses that transcends the times is probably also related to Emperor Haotian.
While thinking, he asked casually, "Does Putnam have doubts that even scientists have?"
"There is a huge gap between our research level in various fields and the height reached by Xi'an. It is like a monkey facing quantum mechanics. This gap cannot be refuted by science."
"What about the history? Someone in Uptown should know that Xi'an is just a company."
"Xian is indeed a company," Dr. Xisen nodded, "but it is a method used by the Twin Gods to save mankind. The war is getting worse and the world is about to end. Sometimes, the seven trumpets sound..."
Cain said, "The twin gods ordered Xi'an to build a large ship and teach him that his people can be saved..."
Li Liang was silent.
Cain said there was a myth that everyone in the city had heard...
Myth replaces history.
"What is faith?" Dr. Xisen lowered his head. He had never taken care of his white hair, which made him look older. "When people are about to die, they grasp a life-saving straw and see a faint light in the darkness. .”
The old man stood up slowly, looked around the general control hall, and said softly, "The Xi'an people were trapped in the submarine for many years after the nuclear war. At first, they had sufficient supplies and excellent scientific research conditions. They were very optimistic. However, sometimes the supplies ran out. , scientific breakthroughs are far away, and all people slowly fall into a kind of panic... People feel that the space in submarines is getting smaller and smaller, and the air is getting thinner and thinner... People started committing suicide. According to records at the time, I think many people committed suicide. People have some kind of organic disease in their brains, and before they completely collapse, the Twin Gods suddenly appear."
"Has the founder of Xi'an turned into a twin god?" Li Liang asked softly.
"Yes, when they were at their most desperate, the founders showed extraordinary wisdom and brought about unimaginable technological innovations. I think it was this process that led them to a kind of unity, collectiveness and cognitive alienation. Over the years Later, under the leadership of the Twin Gods, this group of devout believers set foot on land again, saved mankind from extinction, and established the present world."
Li Liang still couldn't accept "Is this possible?"
"These are my speculations based on the records," Dr. Xisen sat back in his chair and sighed, "Actually, for the Shangcheng District in this era, the Twin Gods are part of the real history. The Twin Gods completely replaced Xi'an. There were those two founders.”
"You two?" Li Liang was stunned, "What are their names?"
"No names, they are the twin gods, and they still live in the temple to this day."
Li Liang murmured, "They...are both alive?"
"Yeah," Xisen nodded, "Immortal."
"What do they look like?"
"The statue outside the temple..." Xisen was stunned for a moment and blinked, "Um, can you cover your beard?"
Li Liang slowly covered the lower half of his face with his hands.
"Ah, no wonder it looks familiar to me," Xisen smiled, "You have eyes that look like a statue."
Cain asked curiously "What statue?"
"There are statues of the Twin Gods," Dr. Xisen recalled. "There are two statues standing back to back in front of the temple. Their faces look similar. At that time, we privately called the Twin Gods brothers."
Cain asked, "Are they brothers?"
"I don't know. The church believes that the twins represent the two sides of God, plus God himself, a trinity."
Cain wondered, "Where are the statues and images? Just photos, right?"
"Only the most devout and talented people are qualified to see the early image data of the Twin Gods, all of which are stored in Tartarus-level equipment. There are only three places with equipment at this level: the Hall of Valor, the Temple of the Gods, and the Church."
Tartarus class...
Li Liang remembered that when he inquired through Leia and the Defender before, he had information that could not be displayed in systems lower than Tartarus level.
The twin gods, brothers, authority, and missing memory have ninety years...
Could it be that he and his brother are the founders of Xi'an?
My brother was still alive, and then I watched him being stuffed into a freezer and thrown into the downtown area to die?
still……
He suddenly felt very ridiculous and laughed out loud
"Ho ho... what a fucking nonsense..."
Dr. Xison looked confused, and Cain sat up straight in an instant.
moment.
Li Liang shook his head and sneered, "Impossible."
Sudden.
A loud chatter sounded from behind the metal pillar in the distance, like a large group of people arguing loudly.
He stood up, frowned and said, "Did you hear that?"
"Ah?" Dr. Xisen looked around, "What did you hear?"
"Many people are talking," Li Liang turned around and asked, "Is there anyone here?"
Cain stared at him and shook his head.
"Who!" His expression changed and he looked in the direction of the elevator.
Ding.
The elevator door opened.
The lights in the main control hall suddenly dimmed, and there was a blurry figure coming out of the elevator.
Wow.
Dr. Sisson and Cain stood up at the same time.
Cain shouted "Li Liang."
Li Liang turned his head blankly and found Cain and Dr. Xisen staring at him with worried faces.
"What happen to you guys?"
He suddenly felt a fever in his nasal cavity, and subconsciously wiped it. When he lowered his head, he saw that his fingers were covered with blood.
When I looked up again... the noise disappeared, and the elevator showed that it was on the 17th floor.
The control hall was silent.
At this time.
Xisen said with a solemn expression, "You have a physical problem? How long have you had it?"
Beside him, Cain looked equally concerned.
"It's okay," Li Liang wiped away the nosebleed, but found that the bleeding wouldn't stop.
Dr. Xisen shook his head, "You need a fully automatic diagnostic and treatment device for submarines. You need to diagnose it."
"It's been demolished," Cain smiled bitterly, "Basically all the equipment has been demolished."
"Ah, yes, I remembered it. During the evacuation of the submarine after the war, Xi'an moved all the equipment to the upper city. Well... there was no medical equipment..." Xisen rubbed his chin, "Well, robots or Do the androids have upgraded equipment? That kind of machine shouldn’t be moved.”
Li Liang blocked his nostrils and asked, "That's a machine tool. Can it also diagnose people?"
"Of course it won't work in the hands of others, but of course it will work in my hands," Xisen smoothed his white hair, "Bionics can be treated the same as humans."
"..."
Li Liang said helplessly, "Okay."
After speaking, lead the way.
The last time I came to the Defiant, I upgraded Leah in a hurry. The huge machine tool was on the next floor.
Take the elevator to the 44th floor.
Unlike the vast space on the 45th floor, the space on the 44th floor is very irregular. When you come out of the elevator, you will find a very small elevator hall with plank roads on both sides leading to different areas.
Following the route in his memory, a few minutes later, Li Liang took Dr. Xisen and Cain into an area with a slightly larger space.
A huge egg-shaped glass cabin lay in the middle of the ground, slowly lighting up as they entered.
"Oh, it's such an old thing," Dr. Xisen smiled, "Lie down on it."
Looking at the machine tool in front of him, Li Liang still vividly remembered the scene when he upgraded Leia last time.
As soon as the machine was turned on, sparks shot out from inside the glass cabin, and Leah's alloy shell was instantly melted to create a big hole.
Cain patted the glass cover hard and said with a smile, "Can this thing heal people?"
"Don't worry," Dr. Xisen waved his hand, "I can dismantle this machine into parts and assemble it again."
"..."
Li Liang suddenly remembered that he had a real brain problem, took a deep breath, and lay down.
Dr. Sisson walked to his feet and summoned a holographic menu with ease.
There was a rumble and the sound of machinery running.
Li Liang lay on his back and noticed burnt marks all over the machine tool.
In order to distract his attention, he asked casually, "Dr. Xisen, what is the difference between the Pantheon and the Hall of Valor?"
"Hmm, ah?" Dr. Xisen raised his head, "Oh, there are twelve people in the pantheon who were the first to follow the Twin Gods, including the original founders of the four great clans. The number of people in the Hall of Valor is not fixed, and they are all for Xi'an or some members of the family have made outstanding contributions. Currently there are four from Putnam, two from SoftBank, two from Activision, and Zhuos. The original two are now only one, and the remaining 17 are from other families. .”
"What's wrong with Dros?"
"Oh, a long time ago, Zhuos took the lead in organizing the clans and united with Xiacheng District to establish a joint organization with sound functions. In the end, it failed. The price was that a Zhuos heroic spirit was deprived of eternal life."
Li Liang heard Mesai talk about this subversion, but only now did he know what happened to Zhuosi.
It looks like Dros and Xian have a long-standing feud.
Zhi——Zhi——
There was a piercing sound of electricity.
"Wait a little longer, it will be adjusted soon," Xisen looked over and continued to adjust the values on the holographic menu.
"Well," Li Liang felt a little bored and tugged on his collar, "Dr. Xisen, what are the levels in Shangcheng District?"
"What?" Xisen probed.
Cain said from the side "Level."
"Oh, there are so many. According to family status, caste, ancestry, and place of residence, there are about a dozen different levels of authority, and there are also many levels of equipment. But except for going to some key areas or checking some confidential information, there are usually very few I can feel the difference between high and low authority. My authority is "Valkyrie"." Xisen clicked the device a few times and was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and asked, "Hey? What authority do you have?"
"have no idea."
"What do you mean?" Dr. Xisen blinked.
At this time.
The machine tool roared, and a beam of light began to scan Li Liang from top to bottom.
Dr. Xisen concentrated his attention, "Let's start, let me see... um, the head... eh?" He moved closer and scrolled the information to see the holographic image, "There's something wrong with your brain..."
Cain poked his head and asked, "What's wrong? I've always thought there was something wrong with his brain."
Lying on the machine bed, Li Liang squinted and watched the green light moving back and forth on his face. He smiled bitterly and asked, "Is it cracked?"
"Yes," Dr. Xisen hesitated. "Not only is it cracked, but also...have you lost your memory?"
Li Liang sat up as if he was electrocuted, "What?"
"Lie down, lie down...hey, look here...this part," Xisen pointed to the image, "long-term memory is generally stored in the cortical structure. Look here, the edge part is unnaturally structured. This is organic Sexual injury manifests itself.”
Next to him, Cain agreed, um, um, and then asked, "What do you mean?"
"It's just that he lost a lot of long-term memory, and it was caused by man-made damage," Xisen said with a solemn expression, "External damage cannot be so precise."
Li Liang's calm voice came: "Can you recover?"
"Well...actually, it seems to have started to recover. Have you not felt that recently?"
"What does it feel like?"
Xisen thought for a while, "Suddenly I remembered something that was not your experience."
"Does it count as a dream?"
"Of course it counts."
"of."
"Hey, that's right," Xisen nodded with satisfaction and ran his finger across the image, "This area is recovering. What medicine are you taking?"
Li Liang was silent for a moment, "I haven't taken any medicine."
"Ah? Then, what special thing should I eat? Chemical preparations? Food?"
Li Liang suddenly sat up again, "Yes, I ate a kind of fruit, a lot of it."
"What kind of fruit can have such an effect?" Xisen wondered.
"The Dream of Hermes."
Dr. Xison and Cain looked at each other, obviously neither of them had heard of it.
"Dr. Xisen," Li Liang said with an ugly expression, "Put aside the memory for now. Did you just say that I was torn apart?"
"Yes, don't you know it yourself?" Dr. Xisen spread his hands, "You are a split-brain person."
Li Liang opened his mouth, wanting to say that I was just guessing, but looking at Dr. Xisen with a serious face, an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Next to him, Cain asked softly, "Split-brain... does it mean the same thing as cerebral palsy?"
