On the large platform at the top of the Doomsday volcano, Adam, a mechanical sage wearing ceremonial armor, is standing by the platform and looking down.
At the sight, there is a tumbling sea of ​​magma.
The scorching liquid exudes an unbearable high temperature from the creatures, and between the toxic gas escape, and the weird magma bubble rises and bursts again, making a grunting sound.
The mountain pass of Doomsday is very large, equivalent to one-third of New York City.
This volcano is almost alone to support the high temperature and scorching environmental climate of the wasteland hell, because it always erupts regularly, and there is little demon activity here.
Apart from some powerful monsters who like to bathe in magma, no one will be close to it.
"This is the future foundry."
Hope stood beside Adam and she said to her colleagues:
"I have surveyed that magma that is hotter than the outside world can completely replace the furnace, and the metal quenched by it will remove many impurities, which is stronger than the steel we are using and has better energy conductivity."
"Forging workshop?"
Adam raised his head in surprise.
The mechanical sage also chose a human face for himself, shaped with bionic materials, about 30 years old, looking like a sword and eyebrows, and looking very majestic.
He looked at Hope and he said:
"Is going to mass-produce smart machines?"
"Correct."
Hope nodded, she looked back at Icarus, and Merlin beside her, she whispered to Adam:
"I heard from Merlin that his life in this is seriously inadequate. There is no way to complete the transformation of the waste soil with the existing demons, so we need to produce enough intelligent equipment."
"And, I listened to what Icarus said before, and it seems that I intend to let the Zhiji join the Merlin Corps... It’s about what kings are fighting for, and she didn’t say much, and I didn’t ask."
"Going to war?"
Adam blinked, he said:
"Who to fight with?"
"Are you stupid?"
Hope dissatisfied:
"Here is hell. Who are you talking to?"
"Devil."
Adam scratched his hair, he smiled and said:
"interesting."
"Interesting, right?"
Hope also laughed, and she tickled her finger at Adam:
"follow me!"
The two Zhiji walked along the platform steps to the edge. Hope patted Adam on the shoulder and pointed to a black stone palace that was capping at the end of the Ash Plain below.
she says:
"Don't you keep saying that there should be a sanctuary as magnificent as the human church? That's it!"
"Well!"
Adam got interested in this.
His eyes kept changing the focal length, just like the eagle eye technique, he saw the palace built on the top of the hill.
The gadget is made of obsidian and built.
Modeled on the appearance of the Parthenon in Greece, huge columns support the rectangular palace.
Outside the column, there are some sculptures. The demons are used to making the sculptures look like themselves. Those sculptures make this black palace look evil.
But Adam didn't care.
The fanatic Zhiji rubbed his hands, he said excitedly:
"The God of All Machines is on. I have started to like this place. The owner here is extremely generous. He must be a sincere believer of the God of All Machines."
"Uh, I don't think he is."
Hope tilted his head and whispered:
"But it doesn't matter, his lover will do."
"what did you say?"
Adam looked back at Hope, who waved his hand and said:
"Not to mention this, has the test of the mechanical shrine you designed for data recovery been completed?"
"not yet."
Adam said:
"That thing needs more experimentation, it's very unstable. The human witch who helped us said that it's very difficult for the shrine to recover souls before the witches really awaken the soul."
"That is, after all, our first attempt to integrate technology and magic. It's not that simple."
"Then you have to work harder."
Hope gave a malicious smile, she knocked on Adam's head and said:
"After the temple is completed, it will be used to place the mechanical shrine...you boast the seaport in front of the lady. If you don't want to be embarrassed, you have to take out something."
"Ok."
Adam rubbed his head, he said:
"Then I will go to the laboratory."
"Don't worry."
Hope looked back and saw that the smart tower placed on top of the volcano was deforming again, and the internal modules one after another were relocated along the scattered rails.
The main body of the smart tower, like the huge Cybertron, is transforming into a form more suitable for the terrain here.
It will become a large manufacturing plant.
Became the first mechanical center on the waste land.
Wearing a red skirt and a little red with long blond hair, Alicia jumped out of the hatch and jumped out of the hatch.
She looked for Icarus in the crowd in front.
Earlier, she was taken back to the Smart Tower by Icarus because she was imprisoned for a period of time because of her bad personal character.
But the child finally knew what was going on, and she soon began to modify her personality parameters and thinking circuits.
In getting along with each other, she has a deeper attachment to Icarus, a mature and powerful big sister.
She called Icarus her mother.
Icarus did not reject this more intimate title.
"mom!"
Alicia quickly found Icarus.
The latter is talking to Merlin, talking about some things after the mechanical religion is integrated into the wasteland. Since this belief has been established, she will be responsible for the intelligent machines who follow her.
"Ok..."
Merlin watched a little speechlessly as the little blonde girl ran to Icarus.
He had seen the widows under Icarus.
Fanatic Adam, joking Hopper, and Icarus himself who have completely retained his previous character, but he has never seen such a lively mechanical life.
Alicia grabbed the skirt of Icarus, her eyes staring at the glasses maiden, like a kitten asking for a hug.
Icarus was also helpless.
She crouched down, patted Alicia's hair, and talked to Xiaohonghou.
Merlin noticed that when the girl spoke to Icarus, she always looked at him.
and...
Slightly hostile.
"Ha ha"
Merlin smiled, he said nothing.
This artificial intelligence simulates the character and thinking of the child. Icarus seems to intentionally retain the unique character of Xiaohong.
Xiaohong's hostility towards him probably comes from the loss of his mother being "robbed".
"You go to Hope to play first, okay?"
Icarus kissed Alicia on the cheek. She said:
"Mom wants to talk to Merlin."
Alicia pouted, her face unhappy.
In the gaze of Icarus, the child finally turned obediently and left.
But after a few steps, she suddenly turned back, staring at Merlin, and said to Icarus:
"I won't call that human dad! Don't even think about it!"
When she had finished, she ran away with her head in mind, not giving Icarus any chance to teach her.
"..."
After the spectacled girl looked at Xiaohong running away, she began to wonder if she was too good for the bear child.
She looked at Merlin awkwardly, and she tried to explain:
"She, she is not..."
"I understand, no explanation."
Merlin reached out and interrupted Icarus. He said:
"It's nice to have a child around, this is your own business, Icarus, I won't intervene."
"Ok."
Icarus dialed her long blue hair. She smiled at Merlin. She said:
"Then continue to say what happened just now, Zatana got some soul fragments from Liana, all kinds of things. Before we found you, we did a few experiments in the smart tower."
Merlin said.
"About the birth of soul?"
"Correct"
Icarus followed Merlin and set foot on the stairs winding down from the Doomsday Volcano. She said:
"Zatanna tried a variety of methods, including monster fusion, soul transfer, etc., but the effect is not obvious. We now know how to construct a data circuit similar to the human brain thinking, and also know how to encode the soul... "
"But it's the last step."
Icarus said:
"The real soul, how to make the machine to be born its own real soul, just like me."
"This is normal."
Merlin Mai walked on the stairs, he looked at the ashes of the demons at his feet, he said:
"Mechanism and soul are, after all, two distinct substances of existence, one is based on the science of reality, and the other belongs to the category of mysticism. ."
"But Icarus, my advice to you is... don't be so persistent."
"Ok?"
The glasses lady looked at Merlin, she didn't know what Merlin meant.
Merlin sensed Icarus' doubts and explained:
"I mean, you don’t have to be obsessed with how the soul was born, and you don’t have to be obsessed with making it exactly the same as the human soul. I can’t answer these two questions for you now. I think you and Zatana go together. Misunderstanding."
"What you have to do is not let the soul be born in the machine."
Merlin said slowly:
"What you have to do is let the machinery have a soul."
"This..."
The spectacled mother was confused, she stopped at the same place and stopped moving forward.
Merlin looked back at him and pointed his finger to his head.
He says:
"I know that no matter what you encounter, you like the problem of rooting. Zatana is also of this character. But for the current mechanical sect at this stage, exploring the mysteries of the birth of the soul is not the most important."
"You need to expand your church first, spread this belief, and let the wisdom follow you realize that you really have the ability to give them soul."
Merlin flicked his finger, he said:
"As for how this kind of soul came from, this question can be waited until you have enough followers to hand them over to study, as an extension and exploration of your own "divine nature."
"After each religion is expanded, there is such an organization within it, striving to find its own legitimacy."
"The results of their research are better, and there is no problem if they don't, but no matter whether this research has any results...it should happen after the stage where the wisdom weapons get their souls and believe in their beliefs."
Merlin looked at Icarus's relaxed expression, and said softly:
"Praise the God of Machinery."
"It will'give' the mechanical soul..."
Merlin bit the word "grant" so seriously that Icarus understood what he meant.
She thought about it and thought Merlin was right.
Relative to exploring the mystery of the birth of the soul, the most important task now is to find the souls for the Zhiji first.
Mechanism was established for the fifth impact of the fire seed in the present world. If the faith of mechanism cannot be expanded before the fifth impact, even studying the mysteries of the soul is useless.
"Then we will..."
"copy."
Merlin said to Icarus:
"How did you get the soul, copy this process to Adam and Hope, about the improvement of the Horcrux, and how to make it. I will teach Zatana later, if you are interested, you can also watch."
"Some blank soul fragments, some soul thinking circuits that have been formed, by using the intelligent mechanical body system as the Horcrux itself..."
Merlin frowned, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said:
"In terms that you understand better..."
"Think of those soul fragments as a database of memory and logic."
"Maybe they will have a truly autonomous soul just like you, maybe they are just a rough combination of soul fragments and memory data, but no matter what, you have fulfilled your promise."
Merlin stroking Icarus' long blue hair, he said:
"You gave them soul, real soul."
"And doing so will also make the mechanical shrine designed by Adam work."
Icarus blinked:
"After the intelligence machine body is destroyed, those souls will return to the wasteland with all the memories of the intelligence machine, enter the mechanical shrine, and wait to be reinfused into the new machine body."
"Correct!"
Merlin took a deep breath and looked back at his hell. He said:
"Isn't this a complete cycle of life? Just like the belief of mankind, enter heaven after death, or go to hell."
"When you fall into this place, the faith of the mechanical gods is no longer the moon in the water, but the flower in the mirror."
He told Icarus:
"You have a willing to accept you, and this belief system is complete."
"When the Zhiji people know that they will not become nothing after they die."
"When the wisdom weapons know that they will have a second life."
"When they know their destiny will be affected by what they did when they were born."
"When they begin to actively reflect on their mistakes and values."
"When they work hard to make themselves more exciting and fulfilling because of their faith..."
Merlin says:
"Can you still say they have no soul?"
"Who can deny the existence of the mechanical spirit?"
Icarus is immersed in the future described by Merlin.
She looked at Merlin and she said:
"But it's all because of you, you accepted us, you gave us faith...soul, you are the true of all machines..."
"Uh, this title is a bit weird."
Merlin frowned and said:
"But if you must call it that way..."
"Then I accept it."
