The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Originally, Leo had to enter the intelligence center of the Prometheus to find out which Earth Federation spaceship was fused with the Prometheus, but when the Titan Mecha appeared, Finding clues to the unknown spaceship became much easier, because he only needed to find out the serial number of the Titan Mecha.

As a result, Leo took a chance to check the parts of the mecha that were most likely to have numbers when he returned to the garrison after the routine inspection of the Titan mech sergeant, and he found the place without any problems. Rows are numbered with specific meanings.

There are not many Titan mechas left in that battle, and each mecha has a specific number. Leo's database also has corresponding relevant information. After comparison, Leo found the Titan machine that the number belongs to. A's information.

That serial number belongs to a Titan Mecha named Grand Commander. This Titan Mecha was a legendary mecha back then. It has experienced almost all the very early pioneering battles of the Earth Federation. The reason why it is called this name is not only because of its The body shape is the largest among all Titan mechas, especially because this mecha is one of the few command mechas.

In that final battle, the Grand Commander Titan was heavily sieged by enemy weapons and withdrew from the battlefield in the first phase of the campaign, along with all other Command Titans , and it is precisely because of the lack of these command-type Titan mechs as the core to flexibly mobilize the mecha army to attack and defend on the battlefield that the battle entered the second stage. Each side was defeated and finally withdrew from the battlefield.

According to the records, the Grand Commander Titan Mecha is one of the most severely damaged mechas. In the first stage of the campaign, one-third of the attacks on the Mecha Legion fell on the Titan Mecha, with 8% of its surface armor. Everything is damaged, and the internal function damage has reached 70%, which can be said to be completely scrapped.

After the war, the internal main power plant and control device of this mecha were repaired to a certain extent, at least allowing it to perform most of the combat actions under normal circumstances, and then the exterior of this mecha was repaired. The armor array allows it to maintain its integrity in appearance. As for the other firepower and combat equipment, except for the parts that are still well preserved, no effort has been made to restore it.

When the appearance of the Grand Commander Titan Mecha was almost restored, the mecha was placed in the Planetary Exploration History Museum located in Katla, the third pioneer star of the Earth Federation, to be preserved and exhibited as a historical relic.

The information about the final whereabouts of this mecha ends here, but another thing can be connected with this mecha, and it is also connected with the Earth Federation technology integrated into the Prometheus.

In the early days of planet development, before the development charter appeared, the relationship between the Earth Federation and the local governments of the pioneer planets was very bad, and they were often in a hostile relationship. The Earth Federation believed that the pioneer planets were rebels, and the pioneer planets believed that the Earth Federation was exploiters. The way of conflict has also changed from scolding by the official government to a fight between local troops and the federal fleet.

Although the upper echelons of both sides are very restrained, even if they hate each other, they will not let this kind of conflict become unmanageable. Even in order to avoid conflicts, they have made some power restraints on their respective troops, so as to reduce the conflict caused by personal emotions. The great conflict caused by the transformation.

However, even if this is done, conflicts continue to occur and tend to intensify.

Afterwards, several small wars of extremely bad nature occurred on the pioneering planet, which finally led to the joint signing of the pioneering charter by the Earth Federation and the local government of the pioneering planet, and ended this conflict. The Katla Sacrifice Day War, in which the capital disappeared, is one of them.

Because of the distress in the life of the pioneering planet, there was a wave of religions in the pioneering colony. Various religions sprung up on the pioneering planet like mushrooms, and the largest religions were even recognized by some pioneering planets as the only official religion of the planet. , Katla's Ring Church is one of them.

The basic teaching of this church is that all things are a ring, and the starting point of the ring's birth and the end of its destruction are one, that is, since destruction is rebirth, rebirth is destruction.

Katla Sacrifice Day The day the war broke out happened to be the parade on Katla Sacrifice Day. According to the ceremony around the church, the parade team would carry all kinds of sacrifices around the city for a day, and then sacrifice the sacrifices to the Ring of Everything .

This was originally just a very ordinary religious festival, and the participants never thought of taking advantage of this religious festival to make trouble and mobilize the masses to fight against the federal government. The Commander is an extremely anti-religious figure, and the most die-hard intransigent faction in the federal government.

Therefore, the commander-in-chief used the pretext that the gathering of the Katla Sacrifice Day parade was to start a war, and brazenly launched an energy main artillery attack on the battleship on the square where the final sacrificial ceremony was taking place. What was the process of this wave of attack? It has not been recorded, but it is known that half of the city of Katla disappeared as a result, leaving only a huge pothole, which is now the half-city lake of Katla.

The reason why Leo connected this incident with the Grand Commander's Titan Mecha is because the museum where the Titan Mecha was stored was located right next to the Sacrifice Square. When half of Katla City disappeared, it also disappeared. .

Now that this legendary mech appeared here, how could Leo not have some contact.

Although there was an association, Leo was not completely sure of this conjecture, so he needed other evidence to prove this conjecture. At this time, he thought that all mech fighters need to use the spiritual connection system device.

The Earth Federation's mecha control system is an integrated system, from controlling the mecha to perform actions, controlling the weapons on the mecha to attack the enemy, and even controlling the mecha to send instructions, all of which are controlled by the spiritual connection system device to complete.

The spiritual connection system can be said to be the most important technology in the early stage of the Earth Federation. Almost all large-scale equipment operations of the Earth Federation in later generations have adopted such a system, but the difference is to protect the brain from the side effects of the connection system. , the object linked by the docking system is the second vice brain.

He thought that if this Titan Mecha is really the Grand Commander Titan Mecha, then it must have a spiritual connection system, and it can be activated with the low-level original activation code that has been made public.

At that time, Leo didn't think too much, because his era was long past the era of using mechas. Although detailed information was left behind, even the activation code of the initial level was written into the public information. But when he used these materials, he brought his inertial thinking into the way of doing things and thinking of his time.

Just like when he activated the original activation code of the bottom layer of the Titan Mech, he habitually believed that the spiritual connection system was connected by the second brain, even if there were any abnormalities, there would be no big movements, and this layer The activation code is only for that Titan mecha, not for all mechas.

But what he didn't expect was that although the type of mecha sergeant in Lanxi City was modified according to the type of early mecha, the underlying code of all the mecha control systems was the underlying code of the Titan mecha. When Leo activated the Titan Mecha's spiritual connection system device, the activation code also corresponded to all the mecha sergeants. At that moment, the spiritual connection system devices of all the mecha sergeants were activated, and because it was the same device, the same The underlying code makes all the devices automatically connect to a spiritual connection network. Everyone’s thoughts are shared in the network, and this sharing cannot be closed. Only by taking off the mecha can this spiritual connection be stopped. connection.

If it is connected to the second sub-brain, the second sub-brain can be turned into a wall to automatically cover the thoughts of the main brain, retaining only the basic mental reaction, but now it is the main brain connected, anyone can Know the thoughts of others with the same authority.

One moment you are still called brothers, life and death brothers who went to the battlefield together, but the next moment you have an affair with your wife behind your back, and you are thinking about killing your enemy all the time, and similar things keep happening among mecha sergeants, bad The impact also fermented rapidly, and the entire senior management of Lanxi City was alarmed.

However, this kind of confrontation due to spying on each other's true thoughts only happened in other places in Lanxi City. In the defensive theater at the entrance of the abyss, it was another situation for the mecha soldiers who activated the spiritual connection system.

All the mech sergeants sent here have undergone emotional transformation without exception. They don't have any negative emotions. What they have is only a single thought and strong fighting spirit. Their spirits have been linked together. From a certain point of view On the contrary, it is a good thing.

Because they have formed a man-made spiritual community, which has made their spiritual powers merged together to produce a huge spiritual body that is almost an eighth-level psyker, and it is also immune to almost all spiritual attacks and pollution. Unless the mental attack and pollution can eliminate everyone at the same time, as long as there is a leak, the effect of the spiritual community will instantly restore them to normal.

It's just that committing crimes doesn't have only advantages and no disadvantages. Although they don't have ordinary people's emotions and messy thoughts, as long as they are connected to the network of the spiritual connection system, other mecha sergeants who have not been modified will continue to kill themselves. All kinds of thoughts poured into their minds.

This situation is the same as the situation where Leo is instilled with a lot of knowledge, but compared to Leo, they do not have such strong spiritual willpower, and there is no reasonable way to guide and control these chaotic thoughts In the end, they either fell into a coma due to their physical stress response, or screamed like the other mech sergeants. All in all, they looked like they were corroded by something.

The sudden change naturally caught everyone by surprise. Whether it was other urban areas or the defensive position at the entrance of the abyss, everyone who reacted was trying to save these mech sergeants. Unfortunately, the only way they could do it was to treat these mecha soldiers. The maniacally howling mech sergeant was knocked out.

At this time, Leo walked out of the mecha maintenance workshop and came to Sylvia who was waiting outside, his face was a little ugly. After all, he felt that this matter was a bit too much, especially when the tide of the abyss was about to When it appears, first injure the allies.

Sylvia naturally knew why Leo went to the mecha maintenance workshop, and what happened afterwards also confused her, because Leo told him that he just wanted to test the Titan with something called an activation code The origin of the mecha, and then there was such a big movement, which made it hard for her not to doubt the connection between the two, and Leo's face at this moment also confirmed her suspicion.

"What did you do?" Sylvia asked confirmingly as she saw a dozen mech sergeants not far away screaming in pain being stunned by the crusaders of the Church of the Victims using special energy guns .

"An accident." Leo smiled wryly, and then explained the situation in as simple a language as possible.

"The mech sergeants in the entire Lanxi City are paralyzed?" Sylvia said in disbelief, "Just because of the activation code you used just now?"

Although Sylvia misunderstood, Leo didn't want to explain too much, so he let her misunderstand like this.

"Then how do we solve it now?" Sylvia asked, and then said with a serious expression: "If they continue to go crazy like this, then if the tide of the abyss comes, I'm afraid there will be a big problem with the fortifications here."

Leo knew that if the mech sergeants were missing when the tide of the abyss really came, then it would not be a big problem, but the fortifications here would be 100% broken.

Because in the fortifications here, the armored mecha sergeants often play an iron wall-like role. They stop the most violent first wave of the tide in the tide. If they lose them, the first wave of tide will be destroyed. It will appear unhindered on the fort position in the rear, directly tear the position open, and completely paralyze all the fortifications here.

Although there are defensive backhands in the back city, those backhands are the last resort to harm others and benefit oneself. Once launched, even if the tide of the abyss is finally repelled, the loss of Lanxi City will be extremely heavy.

Leo naturally didn't want to see that kind of bad situation happen, so he thought about it seriously, and said: "There is no way, if I can enter the intelligence center of the Prometheus, I can adjust the intelligence center to these The core database of mecha sergeants, their thoughts are no longer transmitted directly to other people through the mental connection system, but to the intelligence center, and are screened through the database program of the intelligence center to remove the chaotic and disorderly content."

Hearing Leo's words, Sylvia looked at Leo strangely, and said suspiciously: "You didn't do this to force the upper management of Lanxi City to allow you to enter that center, did you?"
