The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the Weiya people are wandering civilizations, they have had contact with almost all civilizations in the universe, even some primitive civilizations that have not left the planet of origin, but among these civilizations, there are very few people who have really told the true appearance of the Weiya people Rarely, what most people see is the exoskeleton armor controlled by the Weiya people. This kind of armor is called angel armor in the common people of the Earth Federation, because the Weiya people first used the image of angels and the ancients of the old earth era. Contact.

This set of armor of the Via people contains a self-destruct device. Once the life characteristics of the Via people in the armor disappear, it will self-destruct immediately, and the armor itself will also start the self-destruct process because the damage is too serious to be given to the Via people. In a word, it is Weiya people will do everything possible to prevent their true appearance from leaking to others.

When Leo took off the armor just now, he didn't expect to see a complete Viaman corpse, but unexpected surprises often come like this.

I saw that inside the armor, a biological corpse that looked like a neural network was connected with various parts of the armor. Although this corpse had turned into a mummy due to water loss, its organ structure and everything else were also intact. It is well preserved, and the integrity of this corpse also shows one thing.

That is when the starship was attacked, all the devices in the starship, including the armor of the Via people, all failed or were destroyed. Only some of the most primitive channel switch devices could be used, and the people in the starship The Via people protected by the armor, or the other alien races that were not protected, all died, otherwise the Via people would definitely activate the manual self-destruct device, and this corpse would not be preserved.

Leo squatted down, carefully controlled the mental net, penetrated into the mummy of the Via, and checked the more core things inside the mummy.

In the universe, some people have tried to study the Weiya people, because there has always been a rumor that the Weiya people's body contains the mystery of the light of origin.

Naturally, Leo had heard of this rumor, but he didn't believe it, at least not completely. He just felt that since the Weiya people could occupy a place at the top of the universe civilization, there must be something unique in their body structure.

Soon Via's body was checked by Leo, but the expression on his face was a little confused, which showed that he didn't gain much.

"How did this happen? Is it because the body has mutated after death?" Leo murmured in a low voice, then concentrated his energy and used the spirit net again, and penetrated into the corpse of the Via people.

The reason why Leo was so puzzled was because he didn't find anything noteworthy or unusual in the body of the Via people. Just as the appearance of the Weiya people's body looks like a biological neural network, its internality is no different from that of a human being. If it is not that its appearance is not the same as that of a human being, he may even think that this is the neural network of a human body.

Although the corpse of the Via people disappointed him, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, there are still many cabins waiting for him to check and search for the bow of the starship. There is no need to waste time and energy on such On things that are obvious at first glance.

After thinking about this, Leo stood up and was about to leave, but when he looked up to find the entrance of other cabins, he was stunned as if struck by lightning, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at the ground Then he walked over quickly, and used the spirit net to investigate the details again. The expression on his face also changed with the deepening of the investigation, and finally revealed a look of surprise.

I only heard him saying to himself: "So it is like this, so the secret of the Via people's body is like this."

Talking to himself, the energy fluctuations on Leo's body also changed. Instead of using psionic energy, he transformed into the devouring power of the chaotic stomach, and used this power to touch the corpse of the Via people.

At the moment when the power of devouring touched the body of the Weiya people, the surface of the corpse like the neural network of the Weiya people began to change color, and at the same time the energy fluctuations on the neural network also began to change, becoming similar to the power of devouring, and even produced It has a life breath similar to that of an Omega-level advanced life form, but this life breath is full of death and darkness, just like a black hole.

However, Leo also became a little abnormal at this moment. He felt that he was no longer in the wreckage of the starship on the bottom of the sea, but entered an absolute darkness, without any light around him, without any There is no trace of life in the sound, everything is dead, absolutely dead.

However, in this dead and silent environment, Leo felt an unspeakable existence watching him, and just watching, he already felt an unprecedented pressure, from body to soul. Wrapped in a wave of pressure, as if it would be crushed into powder by this pressure at any moment.

However, just when Leo felt that he might not be able to hold on anymore, even the willpower of a ninth-level psyker could not resist the pressure brought by this gaze, a huge stone throne suddenly appeared behind him Fantasy, and when this fantasy appeared, the pressure on his body disappeared instantly, and the entire dead darkness no longer made him feel hopeless.

I don't know if it was a hallucination, but he seemed to hear the unspeakable mysterious existence watching him in the depths of the darkness, and he snorted dissatisfiedly, and then the surrounding darkness receded like a tide, and he returned to the bottom of the sea. Inside the wreckage of the first cabin of the starship.

Although he can still clearly remember everything that happened just now, even including the confrontation between the two ineffable mysterious beings, his dangerous instinct reminds him to forget what happened just now, not to remember.

Although he didn't understand why, he was willing to trust his intuition, so he temporarily sealed that memory and set up some memory barriers to prevent himself from accidentally touching this memory.

After doing all this, Leo's attention returned to the corpse of the Via people. Although the body of the Via people was still exuding the power of devouring and producing the breath of high life, it was already unable to deal with it. Leo poses no influence anymore.

Leo didn't stop testing, he then changed another power, this time it was the power of the witcher's seal imitated by the power of nightmare, and this imitated power did not fool the corpse of the Via people, the body of the Via people The power emanating from his body is still the power of nightmare, not the power of imitation.

Then he continued to test the corpses of the Weiya people with the power of other gods' imprints, and even tried the power of the abyss. The corpses of the Weiya people can always perfectly change the shape of the power and produce exactly the same power. Even the life form of the power itself can be displayed.

For example, when he tried the power of the Eye of Reality, the life form displayed by the Weiya corpse was only equivalent to that of an eighth-level or ninth-level psyker, and did not reach the level of an Omega-level high-level life form.

After these tests, Leo has found a characteristic of the Via people. Although it is not known whether this characteristic is related to the light of origin, it is certain that this characteristic may not be useful to other psykers, but to Definitely useful for him with so many different powers.

Almost at the same time as he confirmed the characteristics of the corpse, Leo had already figured out how to use the corpse of the Weiyaman and make the corpse of the Weiyaman into a sub-neural network.

No matter in Vinylon World or in the Earth Federation, there are technologies similar to sub-neural networks, but the names and production methods are different, but the actual effects are similar.

After entering the cosmic era, many ordinary people in the Earth Federation could not adapt to the long-term life in the universe, and their bodies showed obvious degeneration. Therefore, the Academy of Sciences of the Earth Federation created a technology to remove an artificial accessory nerve. Through this technology, they use the neurons of the subjects themselves to cultivate a neural network that can be perfectly combined with it, and then transfer the cultivated and strengthened neural network to ordinary people, so that ordinary people can use their own nervous system. After degradation, they can still live like normal people.

As for the sub-neural network technology in the world of Vinylon, there are also a lot of techniques. Both wizards and churches have similar technologies. Their technology is mainly used to train wizards and guards, and to teach knights who need to fight, such as the transformation of wilderness wizards. It is one of the sub-neural network technologies.

It's just that, compared to the Earth Federation's use of the subject's own neurons to cultivate the neural network, whether it is the wizard's transformation technique or the church's divine revelation ceremony, they are all trial neural networks of other people or other species. No matter how perfect this technology is, it will produce some unexpected accidents.

If it is possible, Leo hopes to use the technology of the Earth Federation to make a sub-neural network with his own neuron cells combined with the corpses of the Via people. Unfortunately, there is no such technology here and now, and the only thing he can use is witchcraft. Transformation and transplantation in

Leo can almost speculate that as long as he can successfully transplant the sub-neural network made by the corpse of the Via people, then all the disadvantages of the imprints of the gods on him will disappear, and he can also improve his spiritual level at the same time, Improving the power contained in these imprints of the gods will not be like the current situation. The power in these imprints of the gods will not increase, but a constant amount. Once it is used up, it needs to be slowly recovered.

However, the risk of transplantation is very high, and Leo's cautious character made him decide that he would never take the risk of transplantation until he found a safe method.

So he put the complete corpse of the Weiyaren into the storage space for the time being, perhaps because he felt that only one complete corpse of the Weiyaren was not enough, and he might need a few more corpses for experiments, so he put the target again. After checking the other incomplete Via armors on the ground, he was ready to dismantle these armors and take out the corpses inside.

But before he could make a move, there was a violent vibration transmitted from the hull, making him unable to stand still for a while, and fell to the ground.

However, he quickly got up from the ground and released the nerve net to check the situation outside.

"Damn it! What's going on here?" As soon as the neural network was released, Leo was shocked by the scene that he sensed, his face immediately became extremely ugly, and he didn't continue to disassemble the armor of the Via people and collect the bodies of the Via people , but unscrupulously displaying psychic power, and quickly flew up. He even felt that the speed of the unfamiliar psychic flying skill was too slow, so he used both hands and feet from time to time, using the external objects on the surrounding walls as tramples to lift the air. Moving speed.

The reason why Leo became so flustered was because he found that the star devourer who should have been sleeping and digesting energy had awakened, and attacked Leo's place like a child who found a sugar bowl. Starship bow, trying to disassemble the bow.

Although there were no clues, Leo felt intuitively that the Star Devourer would suddenly wake up from the process of digesting energy and attack the wreckage of the starship's bow, perhaps related to the various energy fluctuations and higher life emanating from the corpse of the Via just now. related to breath.

The devouring star worm obviously regards the life form transformed from the corpse of the Weiya people as a delicacy that can make it evolve. Although its intelligence is not high, its instinct for life evolution still makes it find out the source of power, devour it A decision of strength.

In the violent shaking of the hull, Leo moved quickly, although when reopening the door. It took a little time, but finally got out of the wreckage of the bow before the bow continued to sink due to shaking.

However, his current situation is not very good, because the crack he came over before has been blocked by the fallen rocks from above, and now the only route he can take is to leave from the belly of the star devouring worm.

The current situation does not allow him to think too much, more and more gravel fell from above, and it is getting bigger and bigger. Leave below the starworm.

At this moment, the state of the star devouring worm is obviously more violent than before. Its body stretches out countless tentacles, trying to wrap up the entire wreckage of the starship together with the surrounding land. The stirred sea water and dust turn the entire seabed into It was so cloudy that his eyes could not see the road ahead at all, so he could only use the mental net to identify the direction and avoid the tentacles of the star-eating insects that were whipping over.

However, no matter how you dodge, there are too many tentacles of the star-eating worm around them, and they are entangled with each other, and it is impossible to predict their moving direction. At the back, Leo was directly hit by a star-eating worm tentacle where he was hiding up.

However, Leo, who was hit, did not encounter the bad situation he expected, such as being absorbed into the body of the star devouring worm's special body, or the spiritual energy on his body was swallowed, and he fell into a desperate situation in the deep sea.

Instead, he encountered another situation, a situation that he didn't know was good or bad.
