The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After entering the lobby of the castle, the first thing that caught Leo's eyes was a huge circular round table in the center of the lobby. There are twenty-four seats arranged around the table. The intervals between each seat are the same, and the size and shape of the seats are also the same. Yes, the only difference is that there are different statues on the top of the seats, which seem to represent different identities.

Seeing this round table seat, Leo couldn't help being stunned for a moment, because this situation is very similar to an ancient legendary parliamentary system in the old earth era.

But when he thought about what Saran did when he chose the king, the appearance of the round table system in front of him didn't make Leo feel so confused and surprised.

Leo's attention was then shifted to the surrounding seats. At this moment, the eyes of the statues on seven of the twenty-four seats around him shone slightly, as if they were alive.

Among the seven seats, Leo saw the statue of the Faceless Man that should belong to Sylvia, which meant that Sylvia had multiple identities and faces, and no one knew which face belonged to her.

However, Leo's eyes quickly shifted from Sylvia's seat to the seat next to her, and saw the statue on that seat. It can be said that Leo recognized the statue as the celestial orbiter of the solar system at a glance.

"Do you think it's weird? Can't understand?" Noticing the direction of Leo's gaze, Saran explained with a smile: "That's the way celestial bodies revolve, the way our stars in the sky revolve, and that's how I It is believed that the Kingdom of God is located."

"The Kingdom of God?" Leo said with a little doubt.

Speaking of which, the concept of the Kingdom of God seems to have been invented by Saran. Before the appearance of Saran, the churches of the Orthodox Church, the Church of the Evil God, and the Underground Church all included detailed descriptions of the end of the world, but they did not There is no such thing as the kingdom of God, but it is mentioned that the gods will appear on the day when the end of the doomsday ends, and decide who can finally end the doomsday and rebuild civilization.

Until Saran appeared, when he was recruiting soldiers, he told the soldiers that the soldiers who died in the war would not disappear, they would be resurrected in the kingdom of the hill king, and enjoy peace and happiness forever , no longer need to worry about anything.

Since then, various churches have also begun to absorb the concept of the kingdom of God, but the name has been slightly changed, and the content is exactly the same.

"That is the Kingdom of God in my dream." Saran said with emotion.

When she said this, she suddenly put her hand on her chest, and stroked a pendant hanging on her chest.

When Leo saw the pendant, he immediately recognized that the pendant should be the information receiving device of the battleship's intelligence brain, so that Saran's knowledge source beyond the times would have the answer.

Saran quickly recovered from the inexplicable emotions, and led Leo to the small door next to the lobby into a small porch, and said: "Please follow me, our party will have to wait a few days It will officially start, during this time, you will live in the castle, and the room I prepared for you is..."

"He lives in the Spark Hall where Seran and I live." Before Saran finished speaking, Sylvia made an arrangement for Leo's residence for the next few days.

Saran looked at Sylvia, then at Leo, smiled, nodded, and said, "Alright, there are many rooms in the Spark Hall." Then, she turned to Leo and asked: " I heard that Your Excellency Leo has studied with Mr. Rembrandt and is very proficient in the language, I have some language problems and I don’t know if I can ask you for advice.”

"Yes." Leo nodded. He also wanted to know how much knowledge Saran had on the Earth Federation.

After getting Leo's promise, Saran smiled, then turned and left, and handed over to Sylvia the matter of leading Leo to the residence.

"I don't like her." Watching Saran leave, Sylvia said very straightforwardly.

Seran the Fire Bather said in a deep voice, "She doesn't need you, and she doesn't need us to like her. She only needs us to fear and respect her."

Sylvia didn't say anything, but turned to Leo and asked, "When you get up in the morning, what's the scene you want to see the most?"

This nonsensical question made Leo stunned for a moment, but he still responded truthfully: "Snow scene, I hope to see the view of the snow mountain."

"Is it a snow scene?" Sylvia nodded, and led Leo around a certain distance through the labyrinth-like corridor, before coming to a metal door, and said towards the door: "Sarah, open the door."

"Welcome back Miss Sylvia, Miss Seran," a soft female voice suddenly came from the door, and then a red light scattered from a light spot on the door, covering Leo in it.

Sylvia was worried about Leo's disturbance, and immediately explained: "Don't be nervous, Sarah is recording your identity. After recording once, you don't need to record again in the future."

However, she didn't know that Leo's understanding of this scanning grating far surpassed that of everyone in Velen's world. Knowing its function, he would naturally not dodge. What he was more concerned about was the one with the obvious Synthetic characteristic female voice, because of the appearance of that synthetic voice and subsequent actions, it means that there is a battleship brain that can still be used.

"The data collection is complete, welcome to check in, Mr. Leo Dodd." As the scanning grating disappeared, the metal door also opened, and the synthetic voice said at the same time.

Sylvia led Leo to the metal door, and saw that the room behind the door really entered Leo's guess. It was not an old castle, but a common living quarter on a battleship, and it seemed to be the Earth Federation. The cabins on that old type of spacecraft are still operating normally with electrical mechanical devices.

Sylvia led Leo to the metal door of a room, and asked Leo to put his hand on the sensor on the door plate. With a flash of light on the sensor, the metal door opened, revealing the simple room inside.

"Sarah, I need the view of the snow mountain." Sylvia said into the room.

As Sylvia's voice fell, all the smooth walls around the room disappeared, turning into a snow-capped mountain scene with no flaws at all, and even standing here could feel the cold wind around.

"Remove the climate factor and keep the scene." Sylvia gave another order, and the icy and snowy climate around her disappeared together with her words.

"How is it? Is this scenery suitable?" Sylvia turned her head and asked Leo.

"Very good!" Seeing such a familiar holographic image, Leo felt quite emotional, and then asked knowingly, "What was that just now? What is this?"

"The voice just now is the spirit of this castle." Before Sylvia could speak, Seran the Fire Bather explained, "It's a mysterious illusion, and we still can't figure out the reason, only Saran Know."

"You're tired on the way here, take a rest first! Just tell me what you want, Sarah will prepare it for you." Sylvia looked at Seran with some dissatisfaction, and then said to Leo : "When we have dinner at night, I will introduce you to other people."

"Okay." Leo nodded.

Although Sylvia wanted to talk to Leo alone, Seran, the fire bather, was at the side, and she was not easy to speak, so she could only wait for a chance to have a serious talk with Leo in the future.

Sylvia and Seran the Fire Bather walked out of the room one after another, and the metal door closed again. Leo sat on the bed in the room, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Sequence Ninety-seven, code name KEV45687014TAZ, identity code... ..."

Following Leo's announcement of a series of identity codes, the snow-capped mountains around the room disappeared instantly, and then turned into the original simple room. Then all the wall panels in the room were flipped and reorganized into a workshop.

Immediately afterwards, a phantom of a complete woman figure appeared in the room, and the phantom looked at Leo with a very obvious human surprise, as if in her eyes, Leo was more like a monster than himself.

"Number 74328, the captain of the biochemical human special forces team, the owner of the seventh-level authority." The female phantom looked at Leo with a surprised look, and asked in a deep voice: "How do you know this code?"

Seeing the emotional expression of the woman's phantom, Leo was also slightly surprised, and then frowned.

Because the phantom not only said the authority level converted from the code, but also said two information that should not appear, his number and the position of the biochemical person.

At this time, Leo suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked anxiously: "Have you crossed the Mosa Wall?"

The Mosa Wall is a guess of the Earth Federation on the development of artificial intelligence to the limit. They think that as long as artificial intelligence can cross the limit called the Mosa Wall, it can produce real wisdom, from a string of data to a real life. .

The battleship intelligence brain named Sarah in front of him has obviously exceeded some capabilities of the normal intelligence brain, such as actively asking questions to Leo, or actively expressing emotions and so on.

For all civilizations in the universe, it is a huge taboo for artificial intelligence to cross the Mosa wall, and it is also something that the Supreme Council expressly prohibits. Any artificial intelligence that crosses the Mosa wall will be completely destroyed as soon as it appears.

"Mosa Wall?" Sarah had a puzzled look on her face, apparently there was no information about the Mosa Wall in its database.

But its demeanor also proves Leo's guess from the other hand, that the brain of the battleship in front of him has indeed evolved into another life form.

"Display the complete database list." Leo also tested whether the underlying authority instructions issued by the Earth Federation to each battleship's brain can still work.

According to the low-level authority instructions, if no one present has a higher level of authority than him, then he is the default highest authority of the battleship brain, and has all permissions except modifying the bottom level instructions, including viewing the top secrets in the brain database material.

After Sarah heard Leo's order, a hesitant expression appeared on Sarah's face, and she was also a little displeased, but in the end it still couldn't resist the source command from the soul, and obeyed Leo's order to save its database It was completely displayed on the wall in front of Leo.

After this attempt, Leo also learned that Sarah is not yet a real artificial intelligence life, and it obviously has not completely crossed the Mosa wall, otherwise she would not be able to obey the orders of the bottom layer.

However, now Leo's attention has shifted from the artificial intelligence life next to him to the materials on the wall.

Although Leo knew that the database of this part of the intellectual brain should be severely damaged, otherwise it would be impossible for the information on the Mosa Wall to disappear, but he was still disappointed when he saw the fragmented information lists in the list on the wall.

No matter how disappointed, Leo did not give up finding the information he wanted from these scattered materials, so he quickly eliminated all the unnecessary materials, such as those related to the old earth era. All high-tech knowledge such as weapons and equipment that are not on the list are eliminated, and other common-sense materials are screened out, and finally the records of warship inspection records, flight records, and weapon use records are retained.

These record files are not many, only more than 300 folders, more than 4,000 files, many of which are damaged files, even repairs cannot be done, and finally there are only 1,600 readable materials left. Many copies, most of which are weapons use records.

Although there were not many flight records and maintenance records that Leo wanted to see most, the relatively complete weapon use records were enough for him to know a lot about the situation.

On the side, Sarah looked curiously at Leo's proficient use of the console, screening files, and more importantly, the text displayed in those files was not the text of the world of Velen, which made her extremely curious about Leo's identity , and she really wants to tell Saran what happened here, but what makes it puzzled is that no matter how much it wants to tell Saran, there is a kind of power in its heart that stops it and makes it uncontrollable own behavior.

Leo ignored the emotions of Sarah, the brain brain of the battleship next to him, and all his energy was concentrated on those weapon usage records.

After reading more than a hundred records in front of him, he was extremely surprised, because the battleship that Sarah used as the intelligence brain turned out to be a retired battleship, and he knew this retired battleship, because this battleship was the last time The mission is to transport their combat squad to a frontline planet.

When boarding this battleship, according to the usual practice, Leo also entered his identity code. When this battleship was decommissioned, he did not delete this part of the information. The reported authority code can determine his identity in the Earth Federation.

He remembered that this decommissioned warship was a third-generation cruise warship, which was already outdated, so decommissioning was equivalent to permanent decommissioning.

But now this permanently decommissioned battleship has been installed with the most advanced weapons in the universe, and then sent to the battlefield. This represents one thing, that is, the Earth Federation was unable to manufacture new warships at that time. Can restart those old battleships that have been decommissioned.

"Could it be that a war broke out in the universe that affected all civilizations?" Leo couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart when he saw this.
