Chapter 276 Zero Machine
The core of power in this world has always been held by high-end force players, presenting a natural pyramid structure, which indirectly determines the material content produced in the operation of the entire society and the relationship between humans and means of production.
The current situation of Shenzhou, the chaos after the collapse of the Taiyin Dynasty, completely verifies this logic.
"So, as long as there is a stronger force to overturn the existing core of power, it can subvert the entire power system. This is the so-called "Creating Heaven Plan"... The Pili Central Plains version of the "Creating Heaven Plan" has the goal of eliminating worldly disputes and abolishing world martial arts, thereby eliminating boundless killing and blood, meaningless ambitions and wars. However, this method cannot solve the problem from the root..."
"In this world where martial arts are prevalent, practicing martial arts can change a person's lifelong encounter, just like buying a lottery can win the first prize, it is the simple greed that everyone hopes for from the heart. This is like the ancient world official system, the imperial examination system, the nine-rank Zhongzheng system, and the imperial examination system are all promotion channels born to maintain the old ruling order, and it is also the only way to change birth, appearance, and foundation, so as to reach the sky in one step..."
"Martial arts is this kind of channel in this world... Even if the force is artificially abolished, it does not mean the ambition is abolished. If a world of high martial arts wants to be stable for a long time, it requires a stable and mature government agency and a complete set of social systems..."
Lu Qi believed that he could create this, and to accomplish this, he had to overturn the existing world pattern. This giant puppet, which was called "Zero Machine", was his first attempt to implement his goals.
A large force with powerful force such as the Three Meridians, Seven Sects and Nine Valves cannot tolerate the existence of centralized feudal ruling forces such as the White Horse Dynasty or the current Taiyin Dynasty.
In fact, the conflicts between the two will break out sooner or later, because their core interests are completely conflicting.
A qualified, stable and mature ruling system requires a stable political environment, a sustainable and developing economic foundation, and a ruling population.
A large force like the Three Meridians, Seven Sects, Nine Valves will not like such a regime, because it means that the interests in their hands will be reduced.
Power, the population you control, and the benefits brought by a stable social environment do not have much meaning to such a large force. Most resources do not have much meaning to the existence of the top of the martial arts pyramid, or the force of high-end warriors of large forces themselves means power and resources.
Basically, the cultivation of high-end warriors means expansion. They can use superb force to achieve strong domination without using too much external force to achieve it. This means that high-end warriors do not care about the external environment.
Even in the troubled times when wars are frequent, high-end warriors from the Three Veins and Seven Sects will not care too much about the fundamental impact of the shaken environment. It is better to say that a chaotic world of conquest is more suitable for them to expand their own interests. After all, heroes will come from troubled times.
On the contrary, a highly centralized central dynasty will only infringe on their own interests.
Therefore, for the destruction of the Taiyin Dynasty, the three meridians, seven sects and nine major valves, it is undoubtedly a pleasure to see it happen.
"The feudal remnants of Gaowu, such as the Three Meridians and Seven Sects, are behind the times, and if they fall behind, they will be beaten... Moreover, their existence is also quite annoying to me."
If Lu Qi wants to rule the entire Central Lu Shenzhou and carry out centralized control, then the existence of the three meridians and seven sects will have conflicts and contradictions with himself.
In most cases, people from the three meridians and seven sects penetrated into the newly rising ruling forces at this time, and arranged their own agents to depend on a new dynasty, but in fact they were parasitic cancers in a new dynasty.
During the reign of the White Horse Taizu, or the entire White Horse Dynasty chose to compromise with the three veins, seven sects and nine major lords, which led to a stable rule of hundreds of years. But later, there was a conflict between the two sides, and the White Horse Dynasty was destroyed.
The subsequent feudal ruling regime, namely the Taiyin Dynasty, did not completely compromise with the three meridians and seven sects, because the Taiyin Dynasty itself transitioned from a sect-large sect-strong military clan to a central ruler, which means that the official side is not friendly with the sect. After the two sides fought openly and secretly for a hundred years, the power of the top warriors of the Taiyin Dynasty shrank, which led to the rise of this great struggle in the chaos.
Lu Qi naturally couldn't choose to compromise with the sectarian forces. In order to fight with them, he would take an extreme approach to destroy the "things" that people in this world are accustomed to.
And what he relies on is naturally this "Zero Machine".
———————
In the harbor area of Longhuo Island, a crucial experiment is underway.
The giant puppet was lifted up by axle steel cable, showing the upper body standing upright and the lower body sitting on the ground.
Half of its body rests on the cliff, iron locks, ropes, and nails make it firmly secure on the cliff wall.
Craftsmen use scaffolding made of bamboo to move up and down the giant's body, constantly confirming the test work.
In addition, Lu Qi also found a large number of people from the mermaids to be responsible for other tasks.
"Then, the first set of tests for the Zero machine is on."
"The artificial soul is relatively stable and can enter the next stage..."
"The signals that simulate martial arts and secret orifices are also in a stable state, so the experiment can be continued."
After spending time together, many craftsmen adapted to Lu Qi's strange words and even imitated them unconsciously in their behavior.
Any craftsmen with a little craftsmanship can feel Lu Qi's extraordinary skills. In fact, during the journey from Zhonglu to the sea, Lu Qi has demonstrated his craftsmanship skills many times, which has impressed most of the craftsmen.
This transformation experiment made them even more amazing.
But no one knows how important this transformation experiment is to the future of the entire Central Land.
They just followed Lu Qi's instructions and were responsible for their own work seriously.
However, the most difficult work at this stage is the work of artificial souls and martial arts.
This was done entirely by Lu Qi, the inventor of the technology, and the difficulty of this step was to implant a nerve-like connection device that simulates the martial arts on the spine.
It was a mixture of gold, silver and various materials, which were enclosed on a copper pipe, embedded on the back of the giant puppet, and connected to the spine with steel bolts.
Through the spine, spread to the trunk, limbs, and the whole body, and more subtle operations must be performed locally to ensure that the simulated martial arts can be officially operated.
The next step is to implant the artificial soul. Lu Qi stripped the existing artificial soul from the Yuanhuang puppet and transplanted it directly into the martial arts of this Zero machine, completing this step.
This also caused three more Yuanhuang puppets to lose their function.
