When Lan Nuo saw this factory, he already had a bad feeling in his heart. The positive output of energy itself is of great significance, just like controllable nuclear fusion. If it is just to maintain the ignition state, This does not mean that it cannot be achieved with the technology of the early 21st century, but the energy required to maintain the reaction is much greater than the energy released by the reaction. The energy is generally lost, which means that the positive output of energy has not been achieved.
When the reaction can output energy outwards and the output energy exceeds the consumption, nuclear fusion can be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, because it only needs to consume the hydrogen separated from seawater, and the required raw materials are more difficult to obtain than The elements needed to start a fission power plant are much easier to obtain.
What resources does the factory in front of us consume? Water, sunlight, air, inorganic salts, and a little outdoor space, as long as plants can be planted and mice are raised, this breeding base can expand indefinitely, and the resources invested and the psychic energy produced can completely make up for it. With a snowball-like growth, I'm afraid they can easily and continuously expand like a virus, spreading to all areas they can spread to.
If all of this is under human control, that's actually fine. But the scary thing is that if all of this is out of human control, it will be completely out of control. At that time, I am afraid that it will continue to spread outwards in a frenzied manner. Expansion, mechanical puppets with their own will, producing themselves, building their own factories to provide themselves with energy, will probably increase in number before long.
Lan Nuo felt his scalp numb when he thought about this kind of thing. What is the speed of human reproduction, and how fast is the production of mechanical puppets? If their number really breaks through a certain threshold, the consequences will be really unimaginable.
However, people in this city seem to have become accustomed to it. More and more breeding farms are being built on the Great Plains. Countless rats are being raised and then slaughtered on a large scale. In fact, rat meat is already a staple food in this city. , the main source of meat for people. In order to facilitate the disposal of corpses, these rats have been developed into the habit of devouring their own kind.
The meat that humans cannot eat is broken into pieces and reused to raise a new batch of rats to maximize the use of resources.
This also further reduces the cost of breeding. These mice are like infinite soul generators.
Lan Nuo approached the tall tower in the center of the city, and what he saw was truckloads of rats being transported there, as if they were energy modules, and batches of rats were being packaged and transported. These were already dead. .
On the assembly line, the puppets use various special machines to skillfully skin and remove the bones of mice, cut out the best-tasting meat, put it in the pool for disinfection, and mass-produce edible meat products. These meat products will appear on the streets. In the alleys, it appears on the dining tables of thousands of households.
The rest, the internal organs, bones, and fur are all sent to the crusher, broken into pieces, mixed with feed, and transported to the breeding farm by psychic vehicles, and put into production again.
This production method saves costs to the greatest extent but also brings about a potentially more dangerous problem. The rats that were bred have cannibalistic characteristics, so what impact will their souls have on the wilderness of knowledge after they are sacrificed? One can imagine.
Although Lan Nuo agrees with the policy of utilizing existing resources as much as possible for development, Tianji Mansion seems to focus too much on real interests and ignores many potential risks. In this case, if an accident occurs, it is likely to be irreversible. ending.
He now wants to know whether these people understand the potential risks of their practices. If there is understanding, how do they respond based on this understanding?
Continuing forward is a forbidden area for him. After all, the legal identity he obtained is just that of an ordinary person. He cannot enter such a confidential place. At most, he can only enter and exit at the lowest level of the core tower. .
But this is not a problem for him. Although this city operates with spiritual energy and mechanisms, mathematics cannot deceive people. The logic they run and the programs they execute still follow the logic of mathematics. of.
As long as you master their programming language, you can also show your hacker abilities here.
Lan Nuo quietly inserted his palm into his pocket, and then the spiritual energy in his pocket began to condense rapidly. It turned into a card, and at the same time, something like a chip or a pattern on a circuit board appeared on the card. After a while, a specific pattern was sketched out, and then he followed him to an elevator shaft. area, pointed the card in his hand at a scanning area, and the elevator in front of him suddenly opened.
Although the painting style is different from the elevator he is familiar with, the working principle is not much different. As the wheel rotates, the back of the car is pulled toward the upper floors.
Controllable high-energy particles cannot penetrate there. If you forcefully infiltrate, you may be discovered by the extraordinary detection field there. However, if you sneak in through regular channels and release controllable high-energy particles from the inside, you can bypass it. Monitored.
As the elevator door opened, he came into a more sci-fi or magical space.
There are a large number of sophisticated psychic devices like the cards in his hand. Obviously, the development of science and technology always leads to the same goal by different paths. No matter which path it takes, it must be refined and automated in the later stage. Even if a chip is not developed, Other logical control cores will still be developed.
The walls in the corridor are covered with similar patterns. It seems that they don't have a good way to miniaturize the chip, so they simply put lines in all places where logic circuits can be carved.
At this level, there are no more patrols. They seem to be very confident in their anti-supernatural force field. They never thought that someone could forge identity documents and hack into the system, and sneak in this way.
After arriving here, Lan Nuo only needed to press his hand on the wall to directly connect to the tower's system through physical contact. After he connected to the system, he discovered that the psychic technology in the Western Continent was developing faster than he thought. To be precise, the Tianji Mansion alone was developing even faster. a lot of.
Because after connecting to the system, he found that digital management had begun here, and a lot of information was stored directly in the system without paper files.
If he had used controllable high-energy particles to explore before, this information should not have been explored. After all, physical exploration is very insensitive to the perception of spiritual energy. If he had not come into contact with it personally, the controllable high-energy particles would have directly Ignore the information that exists in the psychic system.
Many of these documents are secrets that must not be made public. Unlike the Mother Goddess Cult, Tianji Mansion does not sacrifice humans on a large scale. After all, this is actually an economic issue. When sacrificing human souls is extremely uneconomical, they will naturally choose to continue Sacrifice the soul of a rat.
The human souls sacrificed were also the death row prisoners assigned to them by the Great Xia Dynasty. These people were not only sacrificed, but also needed to perform many dangerous tasks, such as testing the properties of sealed objects and participating in various inhumane human experiments. , or even testing the destructive power of some weapons against the human body, somewhat similar to D-class personnel in the Foundation.
These Lannos are quite acceptable. When necessary, they will also choose to let death row prisoners perform these dangerous tasks. After all, the accumulation and advancement of technology must be conducted on human subjects, and some experiments are indeed quite dangerous. There is no way to allow them to do so. Conducted by volunteers.
What really cannot be disclosed to the public is not these human experiments. After all, in this world where human life is worthless, even if innocent civilians are used for human experiments, no one dares to say anything to the six sects.
What really cannot be disclosed to the outside world is that they themselves have discovered the dangers of their own technology. They have always sealed the knowledge wilderness, and now they have observed that the knowledge wilderness is undergoing irreversible changes.
"In the year 7487 of the Divine Dynasty, signs of out-of-control control of the puppet core were observed for the first time. This sign occurred during the long-term peak period of psychic energy. It is judged to be a malfunction caused by the tide of psychic energy."
"In the year 7491 of the Divine Dynasty, there were many incidents of puppets losing control and injuring people. The parties concerned have signed confidentiality agreements and received compensation. There is no risk of leaks.
The quadrennial psychic tide arrived again, and a large number of mechanical puppets showed signs of losing control. It was observed that the Law Sanctuary was unusually active. Elder He Xingyuan believed that the out-of-control event was related to the improvement of sacrifices, but subsequent experiments did not verify this speculation. "
"In the year 7493 of the Divine Dynasty, during the low period of spiritual power, a large number of puppets went out of control and injured people again. Before this incident, a large number of sacrifices were conducted to cope with the energy crisis in the city and the expansion of Fengtian City. .
Elder He Xingyuan's guess was partially accepted, and Tianji Pavilion set up a special investigation team to investigate the correlation between the puppet's out-of-control and large-scale county level. "
"In the year 7497 of the Divine Dynasty, during the low period of psychic energy, a large number of puppets lost control once again. The emergency braking device worked effectively and forcibly locked the puppets. This out-of-control incident did not cause a large number of casualties, but the intelligence of the puppets was observed. With the trend of globalization, different puppets are cooperating with each other to unlock each other's emergency physical locks. This makes us very worried. They are not only becoming more powerful, but also becoming smarter. Perhaps one day humans will be possessed by puppets. replace.
——He Xingyuan”
"In the year 7519 of the Divine Dynasty, during the peak period of psychic energy, the transmission of psychic energy was stopped for three days. This made the people of Fengtiancheng very dissatisfied, but this was necessary to prevent the puppet from getting out of control.
Over the years, we have established a positive correlation between sacrifice and golem control, and made a lot of guesses. Many of them are verified.
Sacrificing non-human life forms will have an unknown impact on the Law Sanctuary, which is suspected to be some kind of depersonalization phenomenon. The intuitive manifestation of this impact is psychic runaway. Any items controlled by zero energy will run rampant in the process.
In order to deal with this situation, we have adopted a centralized sacrifice strategy, that is, the creatures that need to be sacrificed every month are sacrificed on the same day, and the use of spiritual energy is stopped for one day. To avoid casualties caused by loss of control.
This initiative had very good results in the early days. There has not been a single incident of hurting anyone in more than ten years. However, it seems that this depersonalization phenomenon will continue to accumulate with the number of sacrifices.
This month we have to spend three days to quell the effects of psychic rampages. As time goes by, and as the number of lives we sacrifice increases, these rampages will become more and more frequent. We must think Come up with ways to cope.
I made a guess, that is, the soul of the life we sacrificed polluted the Law Sanctuary, causing him who originally had a relatively orderly personification to gradually depersonalize, become cruel and bloodthirsty, and get closer to a beast.
And this is precisely because the souls we sacrifice are all the souls of wild animals. Perhaps we should break the previous principles and actively sacrifice human souls.
I tried to convince the elders, but I failed, but I still believe that I am right. If I continue like this, it will only make the situation worse.
I had to do something, and I chose to convince the elders through facts. If the sacrificed creatures were hypnotized and chemical gases were used to plunge them into bliss before the sacrifice, in this world Being sacrificed during the process may reduce the impact on the Law Sanctuary by easing the pain of the souls of these animals. "
"In the year 7520 of the Divine Dynasty, my attempt was successful. I used chemical gas to put the rats into bliss, which greatly alleviated their pain during the sacrifice process, and also reduced the pollution to a considerable extent. This is an order of magnitude. Glad news.
My research was finally recognized. At the same time, Tianji Mansion has also launched the Hall of Valor Project. Our initial plan is to cultivate people's faith, let them believe in order and nature, believe that all extraordinary and natural phenomena can be explained, and then conduct more in-depth research on people's health status. Monitor them and sacrifice their souls before their lives are about to end, so as to wash away the pollution caused by a large number of biological souls.
This is a rather long-term plan, but in my opinion, it is nothing more than drinking poison to quench thirst. Even people who have almost died without any pain have a limit to the number of creatures that can be offset by the firmness of their beliefs, and ours The consumption of psychic energy is increasing rapidly at a rate of 10% per year. By the time the first batch of heroic spirits sacrifice themselves, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to suppress the rampage of psychic energy. I hope to reduce future psychic energy expenditures. But it was unanimously opposed by the elders. They would regret their choice one day.
