The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The Tinder Source is the highest technological product of the mechanical lifeform civilization. It is said that the core of this object is actually the spiritual energy left behind by the only omega-level advanced lifeform in the mechanical lifeform civilization. Several mechanical lifeform civilizations in the universe Work together to preserve this spiritual energy, and then turn it into a source of fire through technological means.

Leo has never seen the source of fire seeds. In fact, most cosmic civilizations have never seen the source of fire seeds, because after this thing was created, it was restricted by the Supreme Council of the universe. In the end, this thing was sealed in several machines. In the hands of living body civilization, it will only be used in special periods.

As for the function of this thing, it is actually very simple, that is, it can turn any inanimate mechanical device into an intelligent mechanical life form.

It is also because of this that the use of the source of fire seeds is restricted. Otherwise, letting the civilization of mechanical life forms use this kind of thing at will, the result will be devastating to any cosmic civilization that focuses on technology.

The situation of these torch towers right now is very similar to the legendary mechanical life forms enlightened by the fire source. One moment they were pure and simple mechanical devices without any life characteristics, and the next moment they became mechanical life forms that could change their shapes. Body, such an obvious situation, it is difficult for Leo not to associate it.

However, there is no time left for Leo to think slowly. The moment those torch towers turned into torch giants, they immediately regarded Leo as an attack target and raised their fists like giant hammers at Leo. It smashed over, and hot tongues of flame erupted from its flaming head, burning towards him along the mechanical arm.

Although being besieged by the six torch giants seemed extremely dangerous, in fact, in Leo's eyes, this kind of attack was hardly threatening, because the attack speed was too slow.

Before the flaming mechanical giant hammer fell, Leo had already calmly moved to the feet of the torch giants, and put several rune traps on them in turn, and when they found themselves smashed into the air, lifted When he raised his hands, stood up, and looked around for Leo, Leo returned to the place where he was before, looked at the mess around him, frowned, and at the same time inspired the talismans he placed on these torch giants. text trap.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of energy beams gushed out from those rune traps, binding the six torch giants. While the torch giants were struggling, they quickly shrank, and quickly bound the torch giants completely. .

When he found himself completely bound and unable to move, the torch giant tried to change his body back to the form of the torch tower, so as to get rid of the shackles.

But obviously they underestimated Leo's rune trap. At the moment they tried to transform, the energy of the head torch fluctuated obviously, and the subsequent means in the rune trap were also activated, and several energy beams were drilled out of it. It penetrated into the torch, connected with the engine in the torch, and extracted the energy to support the binding energy of the rune trap, which made the torch giant's power weaker and stronger, and the energy beam became stronger and stronger, completely cutting off Their hopes of breaking free.

Perhaps because he found that he could not escape the shackles, the torch giants let out piercing metal roars by rubbing their bodies. Although he didn't understand what the noise produced by the metal friction meant, Leo understood what it meant. For him, this kind of roar without any threat has no value of attention.

Because of the hammering of the torch giant and the explosive flame impact just now, this room has been completely destroyed before, and it is difficult for Leo to find any traces of Rupert Fitz being taken away in it, nor What happened here, the only thing he can do now is to see if he can find any clues from these torch giants.

For this reason, Leo directly controlled the rune trap to suppress the engine energy of one of the torch giants to the extreme, and then connected the universal recorder to the opponent's engine system.

For the torch giant, the energy generated by the engine is like life energy, its strength is related to the state of the torch giant, and now Leo's actions have directly caused the torch giant under him to fall into a dying state. The energy is very weak and will be extinguished at any time.

Although these torch giants don't have much wisdom, they can also feel the fear of death. For a while, all the torch giants dare not struggle because of fear, and they dare not make piercing mechanical metal roars by rubbing their bodies. He remained motionless as if solidified into a statue, and the surroundings became quiet.

Leo felt the surrounding quiet down, he couldn't help but look around, and soon understood what was going on, he didn't think too much, and continued to focus on cracking the engine control system.

Because this is not the main control system, but just a functional module system, the firewall of the engine system is very weak, and it was easily breached by Leo, and then he called up the data records in it.

However, what disappointed him was that all the previous data records of the engine were erased, only the records after it became a mechanical life form, as if at the moment when the torch tower was enlightened, everything in the past followed its enlightenment. The energy disappears, it's like a real new life and everything starts from blank.

Not being able to find any useful clues did not disappoint Leo too much, which was also expected by him, but when he was about to withdraw the engine master control system of the torch giant, he discovered that there was a bug in the engine system. Backdoor.

The engines used by these torch towers as the energy source are all the early spacecraft engines of the Earth Federation. This engine has design defects. During the use process, some operational problems will cause the engine system and the spacecraft master control to be damaged. The system is disconnected.

Because the technical level of the Earth Federation was limited at that time, it was unable to find a solution to this defect, so it thought of a stupid way, that is, to add a backdoor program with greater authority on top of the engine control system, and to control the engine and spaceship. When there is a problem with the system, the control personnel in the engine room can enter the backdoor program to obtain the highest control authority of the engine and regain control of the engine.

"Since the authority of the backdoor program is higher than that of the engine control system, maybe I can..." After discovering the backdoor program, a bold idea suddenly appeared in Leo's mind, so after repeatedly considering the feasibility, he decided to Trying to enter the backdoor program, input your own information into the blank permission list of the backdoor program.

After doing all this, Leo no longer draws the engine energy, so that the state of the torch giant returns to normal, and then gradually touches the shackles of the torch giant.

After contacting the restraint, the torch giant seemed to have fallen into a dazed state, and did not attack Leo. After a while, he saw it standing in front of Leo like a giant guardian statue, and through the sound of the engine running Make language, say something to Leo.

Leo didn't understand the meaning of the torch giant's language, but he could clearly feel what the other party wanted to express, and he also knew that his attempt seemed to be successful. Then he gave an order, "Kneel down."

Following Leo's order, the torch giant immediately knelt down towards Leo, its obedient attitude and aggressive thinking just now, while the other torch giants were completely stunned seeing this situation, even The speed of the engine rotation also slowed down, and they had no idea why their brother suddenly surrendered to an enemy.

Seeing that his idea had worked, Leo was not in a hurry to deal with other torch giants, but let this torch giant let go of all authority, and studied the internal structure and module composition of this torch giant with his own heart.

Soon Leo discovered that the combination of all the equipment and devices in the torch giant's body was just like the mechanical spider he saw before and the operating table made by Rupert Fitz, all of which were put together indiscriminately, but they could be combined with each other. Coordinated operations with no conflicts.

Leo really couldn't understand the operating principle of this mechanical life form through what he had learned before. He could only find a few key energy nodes in the opponent's body, and placed some rune traps as a backup.

Although, now through the backdoor program of the engine system, Leo has set himself as the highest authority and has become the master of the torch giant, but he is not fully sure that this kind of control will not cause any accidents, in case he needs to use it When he was with the torch giant, there was an accident. The torch giant got out of control and became his enemy instead. That was a headache, so he set up a few more precautionary measures.

In addition to the energy nodes in the torch giant's body, Leo also arranged some rune traps around the engine, and even carved some rune magic circles directly on the brackets around the engine to connect the rune traps to it, protecting the engine Get up, and also limit the engine.

After arranging all this, Leo asked the torch giant to close the permission channel, and then conducted several tests according to his intentions, and finally confirmed that his arrangements would not affect the actions of the torch giant, nor would the torch giant's actions. After destroying or punishing those arrangements, they stopped and began to deal with other torch giants.

Although the Torch Giant appeared extremely fragile in front of Leo, and was easily solved by Leo, this does not mean that the power of the Torch Giant is really weak. You must know that the energy source of the Torch Giant is the energy engine device of the battleship. The engine is not only responsible for the energy output of the battleship in flight, but also responsible for the energy output of various energy weapons and other energy equipment on the battleship during battle.

Leo had checked those engines just now, and found that those engines were in very good condition, almost as new, without any damage, and the energy can be output at full power, which means that the energy output of the six torch giants is equal to that of the new one. Six space battleships.

Because these torch giants seem to have just been turned into mechanical life forms, and their combat capabilities are very primitive. In addition, they are all transformed from torch towers, and they do not have any weapons and equipment or attack modules. After they are completely controlled, writing a set of attack modules and defense modules for them, and then using existing equipment to transform some weapons, will surely increase their combat effectiveness exponentially.

This kind of improvement may not be very useful to deal with a powerful place like Leo, but if it is put on a battlefield with the level of civilization in the source continent, their effect will be unparalleled, not even weak Because of the big change that is enough to reverse the occupation due to the manifestation of the gods.

Because there was already a precedent, Leo's subsequent transformation and taming of those torch giants became much easier. In less than four hours, all six torch giants had been transformed.

During this period of time, Leo also gradually perfected the language system of these mechanical life forms by analyzing the various sounds made by these torch giants, allowing him to understand the meaning of these mechanical noises and engine roars.

However, because the intelligence of these mechanical life forms is not high, the language produced along with the intelligence is also very primitive, unable to fully express their meanings, all languages ​​are fragmented.

But even so, it was basically enough for Leo. After controlling these torch giants, he asked what the torch giants had seen and heard after they became wise.

The answers of these torch giants are very fragmented, and there is not much logic. They say their own things, which sound like a bunch of noises, but Leo collected these so-called noises, translated them into normal fragmented languages, and then assembled them together. After a bit, you get some complete information.

First of all, the moment they gained wisdom, they all felt two forces powerful enough to extinguish the spark of wisdom they had just produced reverberating in space. They all shrank into the prototype of the torch tower, and they dared not make any moves. The first life body emotion obtained after wisdom.

Although this piece of information is very fragmented and vague, it is enough for Leo to be sure that when he left here and returned to the Academic City to get the equipment, there was a battle here, and the two sides of the battle were two powerful existences. The two existences are very likely to be two Omega-level advanced life forms, and Leo also boldly guessed that one of them is the spirit of knowledge, and this spirit of knowledge is also very likely to be a mechanical life form, that is, the spirit of knowledge. The spirit enlightened the torch towers, turning them into new mechanical life forms.

As for other information, it is also related to this battle. Even if it is only fragmented information, Leo can still feel that the battle at that time was absolutely devastating.

In a battle of this level, and it is very likely to be the center of the battle, this special desert town can still have wreckage preserved, and the six torch towers can only survive, which can only be described as lucky.

Rupert Fitz was imprisoned by Leo at the time. If there was no other existence to save him, it should be impossible for him to survive in this environment. Maybe he has been reborn in a new body now.

Such a fierce battle finally stopped suddenly, and the reason for the sudden end of the battle was also another piece of information that Leo paid special attention to. The information was very short, with only a blurred image, and that image looked like a golden bird. giant deer.
