The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for Bran Fire Dancer. For any native Mosang tribe, Tagaloga is a terrifying existence.

Even if Leo said that he didn't know whether the mysterious existence was Tagaloga or not, Bran Fire Dancer still believed in his own judgment, because the way the mysterious existence attacked the caravan was the symbol of Tagaloga.

It's not that he didn't suspect that Leo was lying, but he couldn't think of a reason for Leo to tell such a lie, and he had a unique perception that could easily distinguish lies, although this perception did not always It worked, but the number of failures was very small, and he believed in his own perception.

On the other side, although Leo wasn't sure if the mysterious existence was Tagaloga, he still followed Bran's idea and temporarily applied Tagaloga's name to the other party, and after Bran calmed down, he asked : "Do you know why Tagalog attacked you?"

"I don't know why I was targeted by Tagaloga?" Bran also looked blank, and then said with a gloomy face: "But Tagaloga has always been regarded as the incarnation of nature's disorder. What he did You don’t need a reason for anything, you just do it if you want to.”

Leo shook his head, obviously he didn't agree with Bran's opinion, because he had close contact with that Tagaloga, he knew very well that the other party was not the kind of wanton lunatic, but Bran in front of him obviously didn't understand the situation, If you continue to ask, you can't find anything useful.

Bran has determined that the mysterious existence that attacked the caravan is Tagaloga. He is very fortunate that he and his caravan survived the attack of Tagaloga, and has more guesses about Leo's identity. He even wondered if the Leo Dodd in front of him might be the one from the Dodd Group.

So, driven by curiosity, he asked: "Excuse me, are you the Tolan Dodd from the Dodd Group?"

"No, I'm not Tolan Dodd." After hearing Bran's question, Leo couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and then asked with interest: "Can you tell me about Tolan Dodd?" Dodd thing?"

After Leo knew the existence of the Dodd Group, he knew very well that the person who founded the Dodd Group was either Sylvia or Tolan, so when he collected information, he also tried to collect information related to it.

However, most of the information he collected about the Dodd Group is public business information, and there is not much information about the senior management of the Dodd Group. There are not even Sylvia, Tolan, Eileen's information after the fog disaster year, obviously, it should be that Sylvia used her power and influence to prevent her and Tolan's information from leaking out.

In Leo's view, this is not a good thing, because it represents what Sylvia and the others are guarding against, and also represents the enemy or opponent they need to worry about.

Although the Fire Dancer Caravan has no close relationship with the Dodd Group, the caravan is engaged in low-level daily necessities transactions, and has little contact with the main industrial products of the Duddh Group, but as a special traveler in Kuishan The large caravan of the Allies, the Fire Dancer Caravan naturally needs to collect information on the Dodd Group, a business group that almost controls most of the economy of the Kuishan Allies, in order to avoid conflicts with the top leaders of the Dodd Group and cause unnecessary losses and troubles.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Bran Fire Dancer to tell Leo the information he collected about the Dodd Group, but because Leo saved the entire caravan, and the other party was also named Dodd, and When he heard Tolan Dodd's name, he showed that kind of intimacy, so he felt that Leo Dodd in front of him might have some close relationship with Tolan Dodd, so he didn't have too many worries. Tell Leo some information about the Dodd Group collected by the fire dancer caravan.

Leo has already learned about the business achievements of the Dodd Group from the black market and other places. For example, it appeared after the year of the fog disaster. The entire group is mainly industrial products, and almost every continent Nearly half of all steam engines were produced by the Dodd Group, including steam locomotives for the Circumcontinental Railway.

In recent years, the Dodd Group has also become interested in arms trading, and soon became the only arms supplier to many countries in Mozambique, and the arms it produces have also become important commodities in the black market because of their cheapness and durability. One, this is why there is no non-public intelligence information of the Dodd Group on the black market.

All in all, the Dodd Group is the biggest business giant that emerged after the smog disaster. Up to now, there are not many business groups that can rival the Dodd Group, and most of those business groups are backed by a powerful country.

It is precisely because of the strength of the Dodd Group that the intelligence information about the top managers of the Dodd Group is also the focus of the intelligence agencies of various countries. It is only because of interference for various reasons that these materials are very few. The caravan supported by the tribe did not collect much information about the high-level officials of the Dodd Group, and most of these information were collected by the intelligence agencies of various countries.

For example, almost all the top executives of the Dodd Group are people with extraordinary power, some of them are extraordinary, but there are also some mutated family members and mutants, and there are only a few normal ordinary humans, and the few ordinary human high-level people are all It is to hold some positions that have contact with the outside world, such as the press release officer and the like.

As for the real master of the Dodd Group, the Fire Dancer Caravan can only collect a little information about Tolan Dodd, the founder of the Dodd Group.

Most of these materials are about Tolan Dodd's positions in the Dodd Group and some business decisions. There is only one thing that has nothing to do with business, that is, Tolan Dodd once Rejecting the status of the chosen one given by the Church of the Lord of the Sky, he went deep into the wilderness alone, and became a shaman under the guidance of a shaman from a hidden tribe.

This incident seems absurd to many people, because shamans advocate nature, their beliefs and strength come from nature, and they return to nature after death. Shamanism has always believed that industry is an existence that destroys nature. So they have been secretly obstructing the development of industry.

For example, Mozambique has not yet had a complete railway around the continent because of the influence of shaman forces, and the reason why the fire dancer caravan is only engaged in daily necessities transactions with low profits, rather than those industrial products transactions with high profits , but also because of the influence of shamanism.

However, the founder of Vinylon, the world's largest private industrial group, became a shaman. This is undoubtedly the biggest refutation and irony of the shaman's claim that industry will destroy nature in the past. It is also for this reason that governments have found an excuse to refute. The Circum-Continental Railway plan of the Sang Continent was implemented.

However, in this way, Tolan Dodd became the object of hatred of most shaman forces. Although for various reasons, the shaman forces did not dare to directly attack Tolan Dodd, but the Dodd group Some of the small actions of the Dodd Group have never stopped, and the actual influence of the Dodd Group has been limited to the Kuishan Allies so far. This is also related to this.

However, there are people who oppose Tolan Dodd, and naturally there are people who support Tolan Dodd. Inside the shamanism, some shamans believe that the times have changed and the world has changed. Humans want to run rampant in this monster. To survive in this world, we must rely on more easily mastered and effective power, such as the power of industry.

Even the stubborn shaman has to admit that the cold weapons produced through industry are sharper and more durable, and weapons such as steam crossbows are more able to help the tribe resist the attacks of monsters and reduce the casualties of the tribe.

So some cutting-edge shamans think that since Tolan Dodd can become a shaman, it means that nature also recognizes industry as a part of nature, so these people quickly gathered together and established a not particularly big shaman Branch teachings, declaring themselves as industrial shamans, advocating the integration of industrial power into themselves.

Although the fire dancer tribe follows the teachings of the ancient nature shaman, it is obvious that Bran fire dancer should be a new school shaman who agrees with the teachings of the industrial shaman, so he was very excited when he mentioned the industrial shaman, and even completely forgot After learning that Leo wanted information about the Dodd Group, he introduced the teachings of industrial shaman to Leo on his own.

At the beginning, Leo didn't have much interest in the industrial shamanism that Bran said. The reason why he didn't stop Bran was that this branch of shamanism was related to his son. When the shaman introduced him, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and when he heard that the industrial shaman installed some mechanical devices with mysterious inscriptions on his body, he immediately felt dumbfounded, because this industrial shaman Most of Man's teachings seem to have come from his wild imagination.

When he was in Castle Black, when Leo encountered a bottleneck in his research on psionic skills, he would put down his research and turn to other things to sort out his messy thoughts, and his favorite thing to do was to record some of his own Some ideas about steam machinery, supernatural power and world formation, in these ideas have the embryonic form of industrial shamanism.

Leo once saw the mechanical device installed in the human body through the existing medicine and extraordinary power in Miria, and he also saw the mechanical maid who was almost the same as artificial intelligence in Hushang Town. Because he used to be a biochemical warrior, he was very concerned about this matter, so he often came up with some related whimsical ideas. When he was in Castle Black, he sorted out his past thoughts and summarized them together. Write down a complete plan.

In the plan, he explained in detail how much energy efficiency the human body can produce when combined with mechanical devices, and also wrote about the various criticisms that this practice will encounter in the secular society, and also wrote about the solutions and some self-justifications ideology, etc., and these contents are the main contents of the current industrial shamanism.

Leo even suspects that the industrial shaman is now taking the initiative to implant some steam machinery to make his body semi-industrialized, which is also derived from his other article on how to make mechanical wonders, implant machinery to improve combat effectiveness, and eliminate rejection reactions after mechanical implantation simulation plan.

The reason for this plan is that Sylvia mentioned that there are a large number of physically disabled veterans in the United Kingdom. Although these soldiers can receive some relief from the Kingdom government, they are living a very bad life. If these veterans can If the fighters recover their combat power, they will be a great force.

The reason why Sylvia mentioned this to Leo was because she hoped that Leo could create a healing potion that could treat disabilities, but what Leo thought of was to use the existing, relatively mature mechanical transplant Surgery, to implant more powerful and ergonomic mechanical devices into those disabled soldiers.

At that time, the mature mechanical prostheses and prostheses were almost all installed, which was inconvenient to use. Even if there were implanted ones, due to the rejection of the body, it was necessary to take some drugs with severe side effects frequently, which would seriously affect life expectancy. If the old man like Rembrandt hadn't had special status, and could often get the priests and priests of various churches to clean his body with magical powers, he might have died long ago.

And the mechanical transplant plan that Leo deduced from his own knowledge is to make the transplanted mechanical device into a strange thing. The extraordinary power of the mechanical strange thing itself can reduce the rejection reaction, and at the same time allow the implanter to obtain The power only possessed by some supernatural beings.

The entire mechanical implantation plan was completed very smoothly. With the support of a huge database, it took Leo less than half a day from conception to completion of the entire plan. A huge loophole, that is, forgetting to take into account the tolerance of the recipient.

This tolerance is not only the physical and psychological endurance of the implanted person during the adaptation process after the implantation of the mechanical wonder, but more whether the implanted person can withstand the extraordinary power that is constantly produced in the mechanical wonder. Power erodes.

In Leo's deduction in the spiritual world, even if he is an extraordinary person, it is difficult to withstand the years of power erosion of the steam mechanical wonders he created, and in the end, without exception, all of them mutated out of control and became A half-human, half-mechanical monster.

It was also because of this that Sylvia shelved this plan and did not carry it out.

However, a drug specifically developed by Leo in this plan to weaken the rejection reaction of the implant was taken by Sylvia because it did not involve extraordinary power, and she planned to use it if she had the opportunity in the future.

Now judging from the appearance of the industrial shaman, this plan seems to have been taken out again, and the defect in the plan that the implanted person is corroded by the extraordinary power produced by the industrial wonder seems to be filled, otherwise, the industrial shaman It is impossible to develop fully.
