Chapter 73 Heroes of the Past

This is a small lounge. After entering a data room on the sixth floor, I saw this lounge. Maximilan did not take everyone to continue walking in. Although both sides are still friendly and the mechanical camp is very cooperative, they also have their own private areas, which is not convenient for outsiders to visit. In addition to the top floor, the data showroom is also one of them.

It is said that in the showroom, there are various objects of certain significance, such as samples of the first generation of mechanical bodies in the mechanical doomsday. For example, after humans exited the cosmic stage, the mechanical bodies sent out various records independently of the spacecraft. The displays here are all similar things, which may have no substantial value, but are very symbolic.

Two memory chips are also one of them.

"Although they are enemies, they can also be called heroes in the perception of our central organization." Maximilan accompanied the six people who appeared and waited in the lounge. "Yes, they do want to destroy us. Even in the end, this idea has not changed. However, even so, we think they are heroes, because what prompted them to do this is not just hatred. It's their memory chip."

A cylindrical self-propelled storage platform opened smoothly from the inside of the showroom. You can see at a glance that there are two prismatic crystals on the storage platform. You have seen it in the image before. This is the memory chip of the Brown Star human. As the platform enters, the chips are also seen more and more clearly. The crystals are silver-white, with a smooth and crystal-clear surface, but the details inside cannot be seen. Unless a professional producer, no one knows what structure it is.

I don’t know what material the crystal is made of. Although it has been six years, the appearance still looks new. Obviously, in recent years, the chip has been in a closed and dry environment and has been preserved very well.

"This is a very strange story. Do you want to hear it?" Looking at the two crystals, Maximilan's emotions were a little subtle, as if she was trapped in memories that a mechanical body should not have. "In fact, it has only been six years, but in my feeling, it seems that decades have passed."

"Tsk, I'm right." Shuer spread his hands, "As long as you are not afraid of other centers waiting in a hurry, I have no objection. After all, I like to listen to stories the most."

"Ha, that's what it means anyway, just understand it." Maximilan didn't worry about whether it was true or not, and began to recall to the chip, "It was August 3rd six years ago. That day was planned, just a very ordinary pilgrimage."

"The pilgrimage process is no different from what you see today. There is no change of guides. It's just that the pilgrimage is different. Because there is nothing special, it's up to the members of the third-level authority to receive it. For centers like us, the calculation volume is very large, and precious threads and time should not be wasted on such small things. But I didn't know why that day, and suddenly I wanted to do it, so just like today, I pulled Jessica out to receive those pilgrims."

"The process will not be repeated. In short, we did not find any abnormalities. Well, to be precise, the beliefs of those pilgrims are much stronger than today's group of pilgrims. They are progressing very smoothly. Each step is completed very quickly, until the last step, which is the reincarnation ceremony."

"They have failed at this point."

"No, on the contrary, they succeeded."

"Hmm? Success? How is that possible?" Several shadow-seekers subconsciously straightened their waists, while Delia's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes, how is that possible?" Maximilan said helplessly, "I have just repeatedly introduced that the reincarnation ritual is actually very dangerous, especially the belief in reincarnation is the most important. With a little resistance, it will lead to the failure of reincarnation. Theoretically, they cannot succeed, but they really succeed."

"Huh, I understand." Shur closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "They really want to be reincarnated."

"Yes, the key factor affecting reincarnation is not whether the belief in the supreme master's mind is pious, but whether the belief in abandoning the body and becoming a mechanical body." Maximilan said with a wry smile. "They sincerely want to join us, and have no resistance to abandoning their human body. No, rather, their determination to do so is stronger than other pilgrims. Therefore, the two people successfully completed the reincarnation without surprise and became members of the mechanical body."

"Dead Soldier." Shure remembered the dead soldiers secretly cultivated by the family when he was in his hometown. The interests of the family were their beliefs. For the sake of belief, they could die. I am afraid that Delia's parents' thoughts at that time were no different from those dead soldiers.

"Just like the assassin in ancient legends." Maximilan nodded, "Once it becomes a mechanical body, it will never be possible to return to the human world. And once their mission is successful, they will really import the virus into the system of the Supreme Master's brain, destroying our system network and paralyzing us. There is no doubt that even they themselves will be destroyed by humans, and humans cannot leave their two mechanical bodies alone."

"Well, the hidden dangers must be completely eliminated."

"They knew all these, but they still completed the reincarnation without any resistance. Haha, they were the first to complete them. Jessica and I were excited about having two more companions at that time." Maximilan shook her head and said with a wry smile. "Even the entire central authority had never expected that someone would use this impossible method to trick the reincarnation ceremony into our team."

"It's worth admiring, but that's all. Such people are just dead soldiers who are exploited by others, and they are not considered heroes." Shuer shrugged, "There are many ways to cultivate dead soldiers. Although it's difficult to be as decisive as them, and even the subconscious does not reject the transformation into mechanical bodies, there are always a few exceptions."

"If you do this just for hatred, or for the beliefs that the human camp has instilled in them, it can only be considered a dead soldier. If we see such human beings too much, we will not regard them as heroes. But they are different. They are sincerely thinking about the future of civilization and to save the future of civilization, and they will take on everything themselves. Their fundamental purpose is the same as ours, so even if they are hostile, we respect them."

Shuer did not comment, but made a gesture to continue.

"They almost succeeded a little bit, they were really a little bit." Maximilan even had a hint of regret in her tone. "It's not their fault, after all, life forms are different. They could not have thought in advance that after they were converted into mechanical bodies, their plan would be impossible to achieve."

"Direct connection?"

"Yes, Mr. Shure has done it just now. Ms. Wei should know best that once it is directly connected, there is no secret between the two sides." Maximilan pointed to Shure's backpack. "After completing the reincarnation ceremony, every mechanical body needs to be directly connected to the system and load all the necessary knowledge into their thinking system. This step is known to all pilgrims participating in the reincarnation ceremony. But what they don't know or can only know after they directly connect is that once it is directly connected, both sides are in a completely open state, and there is no secret to it."

"Haha, the effort was a waste. Who would have thought that it was the success of the reincarnation ceremony that led to their plan being exposed."

"But if the reincarnation fails, the plan cannot be implemented, so this plan cannot be successful from the beginning." Maximilan recalled, "In fact, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for other mechanical bodies to understand the hearts of the direct connections. After all, no one is so idle. They always stare at who is in the system network for direct connections. Moreover, everyone has developed a habit of finding that someone will deliberately avoid direct connections to avoid spying on individual privacy. Only when each group of pilgrims connects directly for the first time, the central organization will enter their thinking system through the system network. The original intention is not to beware of any conspiracy, but to understand the beliefs and piety of the newcomers in order to confirm their authority."

"Every time the reincarnation ceremony, this is a necessary process. Unexpectedly, there will be a problem this time. In fact, when the central organization found that they were actually inappropriate, we couldn't believe it. The first reaction was whether the system network was wrong, but we soon confirmed that they did have other purposes, not system errors."

"So you started a war?"

"No, well, not yet." Maximilan shook his head, "After all, he has become a kind of person, and two kind of person with such a firm will. We don't want to lose them, so starting a war is the last resort."

"The direct connection was on the fifth floor, which means that the seventh floor isolation zone had already been broken. When we found out that they planned, they realized that it had been exposed, but they did not try to break into the higher level as we imagined. No, they did not even disconnect from the direct connection, because they already knew from the system network that the higher the level, the more terrifying the defensive power hidden in the secret. It is impossible to break through with the two of them alone, so they accepted the failure calmly."

"Ha, sometimes it is also a courage to face failure gracefully."

"We didn't react too much at that time, but started a discussion with them on the future of civilization through direct connections." Maximilan gently picked up two memory chips. "Both sides are thinking about the future of civilization, with their own beliefs, and have a set of self-consistent logic to support this belief. The final result is obvious, and no one can convince anyone. If you continue to discuss, it will be a waste of time."

"We don't know what to do at this time. From a weak mood, we really hope that they can survive, but logically, we must not let them return to the human world, and they cannot go back." Maximilan's voice was full of emotion, "But soon we won't need to make things difficult. They have solved this problem for us considerately."

"I don't know what method they used, but the result is that they not only cleared the data in their memory chips, but also damaged the chip's hardware and completely lost the possibility of recovery."

"So that's it." Shuer took the chip from Maximilan's hand and was about to say something when Wei's faint voice suddenly came from his ears.

"Hiss Commander, I just secretly scanned two chips."

"The internal data has indeed been cleared, and the circuit is overloaded and can no longer be used." Weidun paused and showed an uncertain attitude for the first time, "but the results of the preliminary scan show that the time point of the circuit overload... was not only six years ago."

"Um?"
