The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

These days, the management of Lanxi City has become a little numb to the name Leo Dodd. He is mentioned in most of the reports of the plan, or more correctly, he is mentioned incidentally in the reports.

If there is no such thing as the abyssalization of Luther priests this time, then the current meeting held in Lanxi City will most likely be related to the information submitted by Leo.

Although the content of the information submitted by Leo is not very large, all the content is very practical, and it is the key information for the management of Lanxi City to regain their lost ancient knowledge.

In those materials, apart from the method of controlling the engine at the top of the abyss entrance, the activation method of the defensive tower city, etc., Leo also recorded how to activate and use the method of the main control computer of the Prometheus, and also added He made a list of the databases he sorted out, and recorded in detail what the content of those data was on the list.

During the recent period, the main task of the Lanxi City Scholars Association and the Sergeant Association is to re-master the main control computer of the Prometheus through this information, and the more knowledge they have about the main control computer, the more they will become. Knowing how stupid I was in the past, I even put the main control computer of the Prometheus as a useless decoration.

In the past, due to the loss of knowledge, the database of the main control computer was chaotic and irregular, and the functional system was too complicated. In addition, the extensions of the main control computer in other urban areas can already meet all the needs of Lanxi City, so the bachelors of Lanxi City will be in Without knowing how important the intelligent core of the Prometheus is, I don't have much energy to master the use of the main control computer.

Now the information provided by Leo is a good demonstration of what kind of role the spaceship's main control computer can have, and also found out the location of several industrial manufacturing areas that have disappeared in the history of Lanxi City through the main control computer. This is undoubtedly It has unimaginable help to Lanxi City, so the management of Lanxi City loves and fears Leo.

Love is because they were able to regain the knowledge, weapons, and resources lost in the past because of Leo's help. If it wasn't for Leo, they might not be able to regain these things until Lanxi City was destroyed.

The fear is that Leo will spread this knowledge to the outside world. Once this knowledge is spread, the blow to Lanxi City will be fatal.

If it is someone else, the management of Lanxi City will try to give the other party the status of a senior bachelor, let him become a high-level bachelor, and then completely put him under house arrest in the upper urban area until the bachelor has completely mastered all relevant knowledge. .

Or, you can directly silence the other party, cutting off the possibility of knowledge spreading forever.

But the problem is that Leo has the contract ring of the Black Forest and has an extraordinary relationship with the White Deer in the Black Forest, which makes the managers of Lanxi City as helpless as if they were facing a curled up hedgehog.

Therefore, after several meetings and discussions, the managers of Lanxi City could only choose to ignore Leo's danger, and provide Leo with various conveniences within an acceptable range until Leo left.

But what people didn't expect was that not long after the decision to deal with Leo was made, matters related to Leo were put on their table again, and this matter was even more serious, threatening Lanxi City. Even the safety of the Black Forest area where Lanxi City is located.

At this time, someone suddenly remembered something and said: "I remember in the previous report, it was found that the priest of Luther was transformed into the abyss, and one of the people who assisted in the destruction of the priest of Luther was an outsider who was undergoing an abyss infection test? That report seemed It's report D57776."

As the person's voice fell, everyone in the room immediately found out the report and read it quickly. The speaker of the meeting immediately said angrily: "What's going on with this report? Why is Leo Dodd being investigated?" Abyss infection test, haven't we already made a decision at the meeting before? Why do you want to conduct such a rude test on Leo Dodd?" He said, turning his head to look at a sergeant meeting not far away The member said: "I remember that all the inspections and tests about the abyss infection are the responsibility of your monitoring department?"

"Yes, I am in charge." The sergeant responded quickly with a look of grievance: "However, there are too many submission documents for this type of test, and the test itself will not cause harm to the testers, so Essentially all submissions are automatically reviewed and approved by the NCO's main control computer, which was approved by the meeting in Proposition BD99472."

Everyone called up the proposal again and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, they said nothing more.

At this time, a bachelor asked in a deep voice: "In the inspection request report, it was mentioned that the reason for checking whether Mr. Leo Dodd was infected by the abyss was that Mr. Leo Dodd had in the past period of time, Standing on the edge of the abyss entrance for a long time, staring at the inside of the abyss. According to past experience, let alone staring directly at the inside of the abyss for a long time, even if you check the situation inside the abyss through the monitor for a short time, you will be infected by the abyss. That's why the people below are worried and ask for..."

Someone interrupted the conversation and reminded: "It's not the people below who are worried, it's the Luther priest. Didn't you read the signature at the end of the report? The Luther priest is one of the co-signers."

"That's what I want to say." The bachelor was not angry, but still spoke at a leisurely pace, and said, "Why did Priest Luther do this? It must be because he was afraid of that Mr. Leo Dodd." .Why are you afraid? From the information we can see now, we can draw a result, that is, Mr. Leo Dodd has the ability to distinguish those people who are infected by the abyss, and even the higher abyss races cannot escape through his eyes."

After hearing the words and thinking about it carefully, everyone nodded in agreement with this point of view.

The speaker of the meeting knocked on the table at this time, and said very seriously: "If Mr. Leo Dodd really has such an ability, then he said that Tyrell has been possessed and infected by a high-level abyssal race. real."

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Although in the abyss defense area, Luther, the filthy mother priest from the outside world, has the same status as Sergeant Tyrell, and even higher because of the gods, but in the eyes of the locals in Lanxi City, the status of Sergeant Tyrell is the same. The status is definitely far beyond that of Luther priests and even Pope Alice of the Church of the Victims. Even among the managers present, many soldiers worship Tyrell very much.

However, now such a mech sergeant who has made countless military exploits and won countless titles of heroes is very likely to be polluted by the abyss. This is something that everyone here is unwilling to accept, and more importantly, Tyrell If he is executed, who will replace him as the new driver of the Titan Mecha?

For a long time, the Sergeant Association of Lanxi City has been investing a lot of manpower and material resources to reserve mecha drivers for the Titan Mecha. Unfortunately, there are too few people who agree to the conditions, so that there have been many times in the past. After the death, no new pilot appeared for a period of time, and the combat power of the fearless mech army was halved.

To become a Titan Mecha pilot, not only does one need to have a very strong mental willpower, but also a body that can withstand a large number of transformation operations. Most of the backup pilots died in the surgery because of lack of willpower. in pain.

Now Lanxi City is facing the same predicament again. The three Titan Mecha candidates selected not long ago all died in the transformation operation. The highest combat power will become a display, left idle.

"Is there no way to clean up the abyss infection?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"Yes, it should be possible to be infected by the power of the abyss and it won't be a big problem!" Someone immediately looked at Alice and said, "The members of the Belmont family also have the power of the abyss, and they didn't cause us any trouble. , and provided us with a lot of help, didn’t you?”

As soon as this remark came out, someone immediately echoed, saying: "Yes, we can imitate the Belmont family!"

However, those who echoed were only bachelors and sergeants appointed by the managers' families, and those senior bachelors and sergeants didn't speak, and their faces were still gloomy.

The performance of the senior bachelors and sergeants made these lively discussions imitate what the bachelors and sergeants of the Belmont family noticed, and the enthusiasm for the originally heated discussions quickly cooled down.

A senior bachelor said: "Enough! Don't have such delusions anymore. Our ancestors have had this idea before, and have conducted countless experiments. They are still experimenting until now, but they all failed in the end."

The conference room fell silent again.

"Connect me to the Seventh Observatory," Alice asked suddenly.

Everyone looked at her puzzled.

She said: "Leo Dodd is now on the Seventh Observatory, and I want to ask him if there is a way to save Sergeant Tyrell."

Everyone seemed to have grasped the last straw, and said again and again: "Yes, yes! Since Mr. Leo Dodd can discover the abyssal infection, he must have a way."

However, Alice is not optimistic, because she has already heard from Leo's words that Tyrell is hopeless, and now she just wants to follow Leo's mouth, let everyone present give up completely, and discuss direction shifted back to dealing with Tyrell.

Soon the speaker passed the authorization, connected to the monitor on the observation platform, and projected the monitor screen into the air for everyone to see.

This connection is two-way, the people in the manager meeting room can see the people in the observatory, and the people in the observatory can also see the situation here.

At this time, Leo was observing the situation at the entrance of the abyss, and the image in front of him suddenly changed to a meeting of Lanxi's management, which made him a little stunned, then he looked at the people around him, and then asked Alice: " Is there a problem?"

Alice didn't talk nonsense, and directly said what everyone asked just now.

After hearing the words, Leo looked at the crowd and said very directly: "There is no way!"

Everyone sighed in disappointment.

Someone still couldn't help but confirm: "Is there really nothing to do?"

Leo was about to speak to completely cut off the other party's thoughts, but Sylvia on the side interrupted at this moment: "Maybe there is a way to use it."

Leo turned his head to look at Sylvia in doubt, and everyone in the meeting room also looked at Sylvia. They had learned about Leo's information and knew Sylvia's identity as the Belmont family, and the Belmont family It is also the source of the abyssal knowledge of Lanxi City, so they looked forward to Sylvia with a lot of expectation.

"You can use the conversion ceremony!" Sylvia first said a word in French, then thought about it carefully, and repeated it in the native language of Lanxi, which is not very proficient.

"Conversion ceremony?" Everyone looked at each other with puzzled faces, trying to get more detailed content from others, but even Alice was puzzled, obviously she didn't know what the conversion ceremony was.

Only, Leo showed a thoughtful expression on his face, thought for a while, nodded, and said: "The conversion ceremony may indeed solve his problems."

Hearing what Leo said, everyone had joyful expressions on their faces, even though they still didn't know what the conversion ceremony was.

But then, Leo added: "What's the point of just doing this? Although using the conversion ceremony can help him get rid of the infection of the power of the abyss, after the ceremony, he will be completely abolished. The whole body is paralyzed..."

Sylvia interrupted Leo, and said: "Yes, the best situation is nothing more than paralysis. Didn't you say that there is a certain technology that can make people feel as long as their brains are preserved and they can think normally? ..."

"Are you talking about brain-in-a-cylinder technology?" Leo immediately thought of what Sylvia was talking about.

Sylvia nodded and said, "Yes, it's the brain-in-a-vat technology."

Leo fell into deep thought, as if he was considering whether Sylvia's method was feasible.

Although Sylvia only has a half-knowledge of the brain in the tank and doesn't know the actual situation, she is not wrong about the effects of the brain in the tank. Using the brain in the tank technology, it is true that after Tyrell is completely paralyzed, Change a body for him so that he can still fight.

The brain in a vat is actually a way for early humans to extend their lifespan. The method is to cultivate a body for the rich, and then transplant the brain into the new body when the rich wants to extend their life. extended lifespan.

But this method has a fatal flaw, that is, it is impossible to make up for the aging and degeneration of brain cells by this method, so this method is no longer mentioned in the end.

Later, the Earth Federation entered the cosmic civilization. During the space exploration process, a large number of experienced explorers and scientists died due to some inexplicable accidents, so some people mentioned this brain-in-a-cylinder technology again. The brains of the dead are taken out and put into special containers to connect with the mechanical body, and continue to serve the space exploration of the Earth Federation.
