I upgraded and added points in the Holy Inquisition

Chapter 374 373. Let’s start an academic project?

"[Asylum]... gave me a somewhat embarrassing impression..."

Lloyd muttered the name of this system in a low voice and couldn't help but pursed his lips.

His views and evaluation of [Asylum] have never been very good, and it is not just him, the public opinion outside is also similar. It is generally believed that it cannot be compared with [veto], [intellect], and [reflection] at all. Compared with the popularity and intensity of these systems, they are like little transparent among the six major legal systems.

However, Professor Toledo has some opinions of his own:

"Although [Asylum] has many problems, strictly speaking, it is actually the oldest system, older than [Salvation]. Its original origin can be traced back to when spiritual pollution just began to spread. That is the end of the last glorious era before the end...

From the beginning, it was a system developed by people of that era to deal with mental pollution. Well... it may not be accurate to say that. After all, there was no concept of extraordinary systems and extraordinary beings in that era. It should be said to be 'power' would be more relevant. "

Obviously, he doesn't know much about [Distortion], and he doesn't know that [Distortion] actually has a much longer history.

But Lloyd was not here to popularize science, so he did not refute this error in small details. He just asked curiously:
"Since it has such a background and premise, the current performance of [Asylum] is disappointing. Does it mean that it is not suitable for us today?"

"I think it hasn't reached this level yet... The core problem still lies with their saint, which is 0-006. It is incomplete..."

But before Lloyd could continue to think about it, he heard Professor Toledo continue:
"Okay...it's just that 0-006 failed to meet the original expectations after all. It may be because it was not complete enough at the beginning, or it may be because there were some mistakes in its excavation process, which led to the [Asylum] now. embarrassing situation.

It should even theoretically have the effect of transforming mental pollution into extraordinary power, but... eh? Lloyd? What’s wrong with you? "

But speaking of 0-266, it is also very magical. She looks like a beautiful and cute little girl. She looks about the same age as my daughter. She also has complete self-awareness and self-recognition of human identity. She feels like a real She is just like a human girl, so it is not easy for the academy to conduct too much research on her...

Professor Toledo said, smiled helplessly, shook his head, and continued:

Professor Toledo originally said it well, but he saw Lloyd's eyes suddenly opened wide with a look of astonishment on his face, as if he had heard some breaking news.

Lloyd said guiltily and quickly changed the topic:
"Then what would it look like if we talked about a complete [asylum] system, or 0-006 that meets design expectations?"

He is very familiar with this...

Although in everyone's mind, that period seems to be just a short moment, it actually lasted for 22 years. It was not until the mysterious death of the last "Brilliant Gold" known to mankind that historians considered the end of the world. The time has officially arrived.

Therefore, humans in that twilight era still had a lot of knowledge and accumulation, and all kinds of knowledge were not as dangerous as they are today. Even Mizkatok had not yet fallen, allowing people to make many attempts to deal with the threat of mental pollution. and effort.

But I'm just talking about some publicly available historical information? Although this information is prohibited in the outside world, it is not difficult to learn about it in Mizkatokri, right?
As for being so shocked?
But Lloyd was stunned for three seconds before he came back to his senses and explained awkwardly:
"Ah... I'm sorry, I suddenly got distracted. Please continue."

We once discovered the design plan for 0-006. If 0-006 can meet the initial design expectations, then [Asylum] should be better at dealing with mental pollution than [Redemption], and it should be all-round!
From what is emitted by monsters, to what is carried by forbidden knowledge, to what is spread by those high-ranking beings, it can all be dealt with.

"It's a pity that it didn't have any effect. It's even difficult to maintain the status quo. We need another ancient creation, code-named 0-266, to help and stabilize it in order to maintain the current stability.

snort! I really don’t know what that lunatic is thinking. Has he never seen a woman before? How dare you do such a crazy thing? If I meet that guy, I must let him know my... eh? Lloyd? Why is your face getting more and more ugly? Is the coffee too bitter? "

And she is actually the design prototype of 0-006? It has always puzzled me. Since humans at that time could make 'saints' that were almost the same as humans, why did they give up their humanity and self-awareness in 0-006?
By the way, I heard about it a while ago. There was a bold maniac who appeared out of nowhere. Seeing that 0-266 was pretty and cute, he wanted to take her home and almost detonated a big bomb. Fortunately, the college Professor Hiltina, the veto saint outside, stopped this crazy move in time.

As he spoke, he took a few more sips of sweet coffee to calm himself down.

0-006 is one of the results, and it is relatively complete and effective.

"No...no...I was just thinking, that madman is really hateful. Fortunately, the incident has passed and nothing went wrong, haha, haha..."

Professor Toledo shook his head, then reached out and knocked on the table, letting a coffee pot with small wheels come over to refill the two cups, and then continued to elaborate on his views:
"I actually like to participate in archaeological activities in the history department, and I have carefully studied the history of that period. At the end of that era... let's call it the 'Twilight Era'? Most historians think it should be It started with the mysterious disappearance of the first [Brilliant Gold].

He was obviously shocked by the words 'turn mental pollution into supernatural power'.

This is undoubtedly very regrettable, so to this day, there are still people who have high hopes for [Asylum] and 0-006. I am one of them, right? And also participated in several projects to improve and repair 0-006. "

Professor Toledo didn’t think too much, so he followed Lloyd’s question and explained:

"This...according to the academy's initial expectations for [Asylum], it is believed that it should be able to help share mental pollution, resist attacks from monsters, and convert mental pollution and enemy attacks into one's own power to fight back against the enemy. , forming a very ideal offensive and defensive conversion effect...

And this effect should be group-wide, which means that every mental pollution suffered by every transcendent in its system can make 0-006 stronger, and subsequent counterattacks will be more ferocious. .

If it can really reach this level and state, it will definitely be our most powerful weapon against spiritual pollution and even those descendants of evil gods with ulterior motives! "

As Professor Toledo spoke, he waved his fist again, but immediately changed to a regretful tone and added:

"Many people once believed that [asylum] should be the future path of mankind, but unfortunately, 0-006's performance was really disappointing. Maybe those beautiful ideas were not even possible by the ancients at that time?

Anyway, our subsequent research on 0-006 found that it is still a long way from this design idea, and even lacks some of the most important core components, so it looks like this embarrassing now...

The key is that we are still unable to determine whether it lacks this aspect of design? Or is it that we haven’t unearthed it yet? If it's the latter, there's still some hope, but if it's the former...

Then it is just like a time bomb, and it may expire at some point. By then, the entire City of Joy will probably be in ruins, right? "

After hearing this, Lloyd nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask:

"What about 0-266? What kind of existence is she? In other words, what are her design expectations?"

"Unfortunately, we did not find any design documents about her. After a brief research, we can probably regard her as a junior version of the artificial saint. She can form some subtle connection with 0-006, making her Can perform some control and constraints on 0-006.

Therefore, we generally believe that she may be an insurance measure for 0-006 to prevent 0-006 from developing uncontrolled self-consciousness and losing control;

Of course, it's also possible that she's a measure of enhancement and control? After all, if 0-006 can really transform mental pollution into extraordinary power, then someone still needs to display and exert it, or guide these powers.

After all, a little girl with flesh and blood and human identity is always easier to control and communicate with than a cold device. "

"I see, this does sound like a more reasonable operating mode?"

Lloyd continued to ask.

"Yes, from a design perspective alone, it is safer and more stable than the existing saint and extraordinary systems. It's a pity that it has not been fully realized..."

"Are you still conducting research on these two 'partners'?"

"Nothing."

Professor Toledo spread his hands and said with a half-smile:

"Perhaps outside religious groups and private organizations are doing it? Anyway, after several studies conducted by Mizkatok without effective progress, this route was gradually abandoned...

After all, our resources and manpower are always limited. What’s more, no one has a decisive main idea for the future path. They are all trying the possibilities in their own fields. Even the art department feels that singing, love, and hope can To save the world. "As he spoke, he suddenly showed a flash of inspiration, stretched out his finger to point to the sky, as if he was about to serve someone a bowl of noodles, and continued:
"Since you are so interested in 0-006, how about we start a related academic project together?

It just so happens that the City of Joy may be in trouble due to the changes outside. If the [Asylum] system can be improved, not only can they easily solve their own crisis, but they can even help other cities to tide over the difficulties better. This is very It’s valuable for research! "

Lloyd became excited when he heard this, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he quickly asked:
"Okay, okay, but I'm from the space department, so I can't help, can I? And strictly speaking, I haven't joined Mizkatok not long ago. Although I have the title of 'assistant' in name, but..."

But Professor Toledo laughed, patted his shoulder hard, and encouraged:

"That's because you are overthinking. No matter you are a teaching assistant or a freshman, just with your 'Outstanding Contribution' medal, if you want to start an academic project, who else can object?
No matter how much you can help, just by virtue of your title of 'Youngest Top Contributor', you can attract many people to participate in the project! Otherwise, how many people would be willing to participate in such a project with uncertain prospects?
What's more, your understanding and grasp of space can be helpful anyway, otherwise just going back and forth between the academy and the City of Joy would be very stressful. "

After hearing his encouragement, Lloyd himself no longer had any doubts. Instead, he became worried about Professor Toledo:
"I'm fine here, but you must be very busy, right? Will it be a bit... to participate in a project that has a high probability of failure?"

"Haha! I have no problem! I have high hopes for 0-006 and have never given up on this path. I just can't find like-minded comrades to continue with me. Fortunately, I met you today!
And I just came back from recuperation, and I'm worried that I don't have any interesting projects at hand. If I don't quickly find someone I'm interested in and get busy with, Professor Barry might give me a package of work again..."

So, the two hit it off immediately, and roughly decided on this new academic project. They also briefly outlined a set of directions and plans, and clarified their division of labor in the early stage of the project——

Professor Toledo is mainly responsible for filling out the forms and following the procedures for these established projects, as well as the subsequent recruitment of personnel; Royd is mainly responsible for getting the dean to agree and allocate funds, and then establishing a convenient channel to the City of Joy in advance. It is similar to the teleportation array commonly used in the academy.

Then the two of them started working according to the division of labor. Professor Toledo immediately started working on documents, while Lloyd ran directly to the dean and briefly explained the plan to him.

After the dean heard this, his invisible body made a gesture of tapping the back of his hand. After thinking for a while, he said:

"Hmm... Toledo hasn't given up yet? He even successfully roped you into his gang..."

After that, he fell into silence again, thinking for a full half an hour in front of Lloyd, as if he had encountered a very difficult problem?
This made Lloyd start to feel a little nervous. Is this kind of thing so difficult to make a decision? Is it because of funding issues? Are funds in the academy already so tight?
Fortunately, the dean nodded in the end and said:

"Okay, I agree in principle, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you need to convince Hildina to agree to your participation."

Lloyd was stunned. He didn't expect that the dean would make such a request?

Uh... I want to go to the City of Joy to help my 'little girlfriend'. How dare I tell my 'childhood sweetheart'?

Dean, do you have a problem with me? Do you want to see my backyard burst into flames and rush to the end of blood?
Lloyd couldn't think of how to defend himself for a while, and then heard the dean urging:

"How is it? Can you accept it?"

"Of course there is no problem, but...this matter has nothing to do with Hildina, right? She should still be busy dealing with the changes in her territory, right?"

"Huh? How come it doesn't matter? This is closely related to her. Didn't she tell you?"

The dean's rhetorical question made Lloyd scratch his head.

"tell me what?"

"It seems that she really didn't tell you, so you have to ask her yourself."

........................

Lloyd couldn't refuse the dean's conditions, so he finally agreed, and then returned to his dormitory, cooking with pliers and hammer while digesting the large amount of information acquired today.

The first thing that can be confirmed is that the reason why I was embarrassed in front of Professor Toledo was actually to scare myself.

Although his own panel also has the function of absorbing mental pollution, it obviously has nothing to do with the saint of the City of Joy.

Well, absolutely not. As a human being, with a lot of advantages such as humility, low-key, maturity, stability, restraint, hate for evil, and superb cooking skills, how could I be related to a dead thing without self-awareness?

What's more, my own panel was awakened through my own hard work and struggle, and has nothing to do with any ancient civilization.

So it's impossible. It's just a coincidence in the design idea. It shows that the ancients were very smart and knew how to turn mental pollution into power.

Then he confirmed his feelings for Eloro. It must be because she is beautiful and cute, good-looking, easy to lick, simple-minded, has a miserable experience, easily awakens the inner protective desire, is also very coquettish and clingy, and every time The first time I saw her, she looked like she was ready to be picked by anyone...

It's definitely not for any other inexplicable reason!

As for Eloro's feelings for him, it should be because he is handsome and charming, patient, meticulous, considerate and gentle, and he also saved her.

It's definitely not for any other inexplicable reason!

Then Lloyd summarized his views on the 'artificial saint' 0-006 and the regrettable system of [Asylum].

Probably the idea is very dreamy and the reality is very skinny...

Although the ancients put forward very good ideas, they were not able to implement them, perhaps due to time constraints or other reasons, which is indeed very regrettable.

Then try it yourself and see if you can make up for this regret. It is reasonable and beneficial to the future of mankind!

It's definitely not because he really wants to help his 'little girlfriend'!
Um! Therefore, I must stick to my position and wait until I see Hiltina to convince her with my position and ideas!
If you can't convince her, then...

Convince her?
At the end of Lloyd's random thoughts, he came back to Hildina's 'little secret' that she didn't tell him...

Although the dean didn't reveal anything, Lloyd had been tired of Hiltina for so long, so he could guess something.

Anyway, it must not be an emotional issue between men and women, otherwise the dean would have said it directly.

So the greater possibility should be the form of existence? Or... organizational structure?
In Lloyd's view, no matter how disappointing 0-006 is today, its operating mode of unconscious machinery responsible for resisting mental pollution and conscious beautiful girls responsible for restraint and control is still worthy of recognition.

And Lloyd could vaguely feel that Hildina might have also learned from this method...

Although he didn't have any concrete evidence, he just found that Hiltina could only show her beautiful face in front of him when she was in her [Thinking Realm], her boudoir, and occupying her [Projection]. posture.

Moreover, Hiltina in the eyes of outsiders conforms to all human imaginations of a saint;
But Hiltina in his arms conforms to all his fantasies about his childhood sweetheart.

It is difficult to make the differences between people before and after them so clear...

Considering the mental state of several other saints, they are generally not optimistic...

That's why Lloyd thought of this.
