Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 529 Jack
Walking through the straight crosswalk, Lyle came to the central pipeline mentioned by SS, which is a pipeline that goes up from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tower.Its function is not just for air circulation. Less than five meters below Lyle's feet, some purple-brown cables probe from invisible holes and drop straight into the intermittent floodlight abyss on the inner wall.This is the blood vessel of the mechanical city, the communication channel that transports all energy and data information, and the main artery of the mechanical god.

The grooves of the pipes above the head, and the spheres fishing in the grooves like vesicles, are the residences of these snowball robots.When you come here, you have entered the public network of the pyramid.Therefore, the SS link was also cut off for a short period of time. After 12 seconds of loud white noise, Lyle heard the magnetic voice again.

"Don't damage those cables when you go down, Lyle, it will cause unnecessary losses to the city of machinery, and the rushing arc may even hurt you."

Lyle looked down, those dark cables were like streams falling into the abyss, and the visible part was about twenty stories high.

"No stairs." To be precise, there are no raised parts to climb and stand on, if you exclude those cables that seem very stable.

Lyle slapped her palms, and Nia stretched her torso in the dim light. The four main tentacles curled up in the air, the tips with claws retracted, and the suction cups on the sides of the tentacles expanded one by one, as if they were covered with godless eyes.

Boo!The tentacles with slime were firmly attached to the wall. Although the slime slightly corroded the metal wall, it shouldn't affect the lifespan if it didn't damage the pipeline.

"Oh, actually we have a transport device." SS let out a little exclamation, and the halo of the snowball hit Lyle's head.The clusters of snowballs are being pieced together and soon become a coral-shaped vertical cantilever cable car.

The snowball car's camera panned en masse to Lyle, as if inviting.Lyle was hanging in the air under the protection of Nia at this time, with strong and beneficial tentacles fixed on his back, and when he looked up, he could see her big orange eyes, looking at him angrily.

"Thank you, SS, Nia is enough for me."

The descent was carried out in an orderly manner, during which SS was as surprised as Lyle.He has indeed never sneaked into the pyramid temple, and like Lyle, he has never seen those magic-like technologies.

The material of the central pipe is completely different from that of the ventilation pipe. It is not steel, but a mechanical translucent valve. At first, because of the dim light, Lyle didn’t notice it until it fell to a certain level, and Lyle found that he could actually see through the pipe. to the lab outside.

"It's a composite polymer material, and the molecular skeleton is silicon-based." Snowball's material analyzer answered in this way.

Outside of the translucent pipes, the interior of the pyramid is not as gorgeous as its appearance, but rather monotonous single-room laboratories divided by glass blocks.A number of robotic arms hanging from the ceiling, a pale white experimental table, and a suspended computer embedded in transparent glass, with pipelines extending into the data flow of the central pipeline.Every room is a near-identical configuration that looks like it was copied and pasted.

Irregular blocks are placed on most of the test benches, and the mechanical arm is constantly drilling at the upper end, or adding new substances, and the experimental data becomes electro-optic and goes deep into the central pipeline.As Lyle approached the ports, he felt something hallucinate in his vision.A stream of binary data appeared off the cable, bouncing in Lyall's view.

"SS, did you see it?" Lyle regretted it when he asked, why did the camera see his hallucinations.

"See, the data information that appears." Unless these hallucinations are not hallucinations.

"...Is this the strength of Mechanicus?"

"It's magic."

Lyle stared at the ever-changing 1 and 0 with wide eyes, but he couldn't find the practice between it and any rune spells.Until a feeling in Lyle's mind couldn't bear it, and turned on the switch of the caster.

magic perception.

That is... the abnormal magical power that makes the caster feel strange, cold and dull, like a mass-produced product processed by machinery.This dull magical current converges to the bottom, forming a dead spring of magic.

"This is... the magic net node?" The heavy pressure irritated the skin from below.

The omen turned into a snake of shadows, snaking and circling.

"No, just pile up huge magic power together, just like building blocks, and it is a violent splicing. Mechanic God is researching magic power, and they have found a way to turn magic power into a usable resource for mechanical life. mechanical magic."

Those jumping characters are the proof that the magic is active.

The voice of SS sounded again, and Lyle could also feel the shock in his heart.

"The research on No. 10001 and the God of Mechanics has exceeded my expectations. The practical application of magic power has already been completed."

"Aren't you already able to use magic power, SS?"

"One man's utility is different than everyone's utility, Lyle, and that's a great improvement. It's funny how I'm still moaning if the Mechgods shut down. They're so far ahead."

"Let me tell you this, Lyle. The City of Mechanics is currently in the late stage of industrialization."

"And now, this pyramid, this huge research and development room will make the Mechanicus time go by, and maybe the next second will enter the information stage, or even the intelligent stage. We will completely surpass this era of magic power."

SS's assumption was correct, and the resonance of that magical message was evolving as Lyle continued to descend.

First it was characters, then it was sequential code, then it was a speech, a whole bunch of layers and programs.

Near the bottom, in addition to a large ball of lightning, Lyle also heard a sound.

【Who are you? 】

Lyle didn't pay attention to it at first, only thinking it was a repeating audio.

【Why are you here? 】

[Don't go down any further. 】

"what?"

[Don't go down any further, reptiles. 】

As a reptile, Lyle looked at the huge tentacles behind him, and it was probably taken as a whole. The voice of SS appeared in Lyle's ear.

"That's a new machine intelligence, Lyle, he's just like me! It's a conscious body with independent thoughts." SS's words were very excited, "He actually created another conscious body, I thought I would... and him Speak, Lyle. Tell him, Lyle, tell him I am his brother, a mechanical being with a body."

Lyle said so.

"Hello, unknown or unnamed new individual, I am SS Type 1, and I am your brother."

【SS?brother? 】

"Yes, do you have a name? Did Executor 10001 name you?"

【I have a name, I am %#￥%#￥%@%*&*#￥%@%...】

【Jack. 】

The mechanical sound is very cold.
