Because I didn’t understand what it meant at all, and based on experience, things I heard from scientists like Tavel that I didn’t understand at all were always very powerful - by the way, I felt that everything they said was very interesting.
sharp.
"What is the original body?" I couldn't help but ask Sandora. Now we are on the way to the research center, accompanied by Lin Xue and Alleria: we have been staying in Kerudak since we came back.
I didn’t go back to Shadow City.
Shandora thought for a while, as if she was considering how to explain to me this kind of noun that immediately required a lot of Beijing foreshadowing, and then she pointed at herself: "Ajun, do you know the life form of the Xiling Apostle?
?”
"Oh, half-energy construct," I nodded, "Amorphous life. The basic unit of the body seems to be in a state between matter and entity. It can be individually 'customized' according to needs, so it has a strong ability to evolve.
And life forms with enhanced abilities. It seems that it is because of this that both physical life and energy life appear in the Xiling Apostles at the same time, and the two completely opposite life forms belong to the same race..." I said and endured
I can't help but go a little further. The life form of the Xiling Apostle surprised me from the beginning, so I also studied it for a long time, such as doing a physical examination on Pandora... Well, chatting and so on, so in
It is rare for me to have a deep understanding of this aspect of knowledge.
"Yes, non-formed life can 'customize' its own body according to battlefield and evolutionary needs." Sandora nodded, "You also know that there are many branches of Xiling Apostles, and there are many differences between each branch.
The difference is so huge that they almost become two independent species, just like Armored Scorpion and Raven, Alaya and Pandora. In common sense, they are almost independent races. Their life forms are not similar at all, but in fact. All
The branches are all the same race..."
As Sandora spoke, she suddenly fell into silence. After a few seconds, she raised her head, looked into my eyes and said, "Ajun, do you think such a life form may be the product of natural evolution?"
"What do you mean?" I didn't react for a moment.
"The Xiling Apostle was created. I remember mentioning it to you a long time ago," Sandora breathed out, "In order to defeat the enemy, an older race created... or transformed the Xiling Apostle.
.It is precisely because of this that we have gained a strong foundation. Our current life foundation has evolved on an ancient customized mechanism. This mechanism allows the life form of the Xiling Apostle to adapt to the environment almost unlimitedly, as long as
With a little possibility, we can always transform ourselves to be able to face any challenge we may encounter. In the long process of evolution, the Xiling Apostles have fought countless times at the whole family level in order to defeat the enemy and the environment.
Through the 'promotion', we make ourselves stronger by completely transforming ourselves into another kind of life, and in this process, the various branches you see now are born: Armored Scorpions, Ravens
.Artificial angels, war machines, shapers...these tribes that emerged due to their unique life forms were all actively evolved in order to deal with a certain kind of powerful enemy. Some people once called Xiling Apostles war.
Viruses, in fact, this is correct at all. Our ability to evolve and self-transform is just as strong as viruses. In fact, even now, after the establishment of the new empire, the Xiling Apostles are still carrying out this kind of evolution of the whole family -
—The promotion process to become the third clan of gods is essentially just a promotion on a larger scale. This promotion has been with us for many billions of years."
"Now, what exactly do you want to say...?" Lin Xue looked at Sandora and finally couldn't help but speak.
"What I want to say is that today's Xiling Apostles have been updated countless times, and the number of branches has only grown during the process of countless upgradings. Before all this happened, Xiling Apostles had just been 'created'
'When it came out, the life form was actually single: at that time, we only had one kind of apostle..."
"Primary body!" At this moment, I suddenly understood the term I heard from Tavel. At this time, everyone had arrived at the door of the research institute, and Tavel's true body was leading her senior assistants.
Waiting in front of the door in person, she hurriedly greeted Sandora and I with an excited look on her face: "Your Majesty, it is the original body. It can be confirmed. There is an initial serial number stored in the sample. There is no trace of it in his body."
Signs of promotion!”
"Very good, take us there now." Sandora nodded and motioned for us to follow. Although I had held back a lot of questions in the past few seconds, it seemed that now was not the time to ask questions, so I just
I was able to grab Miss Lin and follow Tavel to the place where they were analyzing the remains.
This is a small comprehensive research room, used for precise analysis of smaller samples. The long platform in the center of the research room is fixed with the ancient remains we found on Ankakh 5. The power source worn by the soldier
The armor has been carefully disassembled and placed on another platform in the corner of the room. It is being scanned by automatic equipment. The soldier with the armor removed is lying lifelessly on the platform in front of everyone, with a layer of metal and plastic.
On the textured skin, there are little bits of light everywhere.
After seeing the whole body of this warrior, his characteristics that are close to a war puppet or an ordinary robot are even more obvious. There are obvious interfaces at his joints without exception, and blue inlays can be seen in the interfaces:
Now I know that it is the original psionic energy adaptation module, which is used to allow the body to directly use psionic energy. In the current Xiling apostles, this adaptation module has evolved into their basic body units, and even senior apostles do not need it.
Such modules can directly use psionic energy.
The above knowledge was all explained when Tavel introduced her discovery to us. While listening to Tavel's introduction, I looked at the ancient Xiling apostle known as the "Primary Body". At the same time, a large number of
The confusing doubts are also lingering in my mind, and they are becoming more and more uncontrollable.
"The original body is the first generation Xiling apostle, right?"
I looked at Tavel and asked, and the latter thought for a while: "It's not very accurate, because creating a race from scratch cannot be completed in an instant. The ancient race that created the Xiling Apostles was not that powerful.
power, so the original Xiling Apostles were created in batches over a relatively long period of time. Therefore, the 'first generation of Xiling Apostles' is just a general term. The original body refers to the original one.
The Xiling Apostles born in the historical period have not evolved. Instead, they were completely designed by the ancient creators. The original body retains all the characteristics of the original birth, and also retains all the flaws, as you can see
In this way, this warrior is even similar to a war puppet. In fact, many components in his body are not very suitable for the actual situation, or are far from being designed to achieve the best effect, which is theoretically the case."
Tavel explained, and I understood the characteristics of the original body. But it did not weaken my inner confusion at all: "Then why do the Merovans want to get involved in a original body?"
"The meaning is unknown," Sandora said softly. "The original body has special meaning to the Xiling Apostles, but they are ancient designs after all. From a practical perspective, even the most powerful original body is not as powerful as it is now.
An ordinary soldier, and the technology contained in the original body itself... shouldn't interest the Merova people much. They have followed the empire for many years, and they have more high-tech things on hand. Now I just want to know why.
There will still be Primarchs that will exist and drift to such distant places..."
"Speaking of this, I remembered." I patted my head and remembered that I had a question before that I didn't have time to ask, "Sandora, the original body should be very important to the Xiling Apostle, just like the ancestors.
But... why didn't you recognize the original body when you first saw it on Ankach 5?"
I still remember Sandora's expression when she first saw the coffin and the remains inside the coffin. She was simply surprised and confused. There were many Xiling apostles present at that time, but no one recognized the original body.
The identity of this soldier was only confirmed after he was sent to the research institute, which is really puzzling.
"I know you will definitely ask this," Sandora glanced at me with a faint smile, "because the information about the original body... was almost a legend to us as early as I don't know how many years ago."
Me: "Huh?"
"Even a civilization as powerful as Xiling has come through bumps and bumps," Alleria said next to her. "In the early years, we also experienced displacement, the destruction of our homes, and the exile of our entire family. It is even said that the most difficult
At that time, there was not even a planet that could be settled, and the data inheritance was therefore fragmented. The records about the original body... were gradually interrupted under those circumstances."
Lin Xue and I were dumbfounded, listening to Alleria's story in a state of complete trance: What the other party was talking about was an era that we had never thought of, a Xiling apostle who had not yet reached the peak, and was even far away in the void.
Not in a powerful era, but in the future, the Xiling Apostle, who will stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods and is known as the third god, has also gone through an era of struggling to survive and fighting bravely.
This is not difficult to imagine. In fact, it should be said that it is expected: as a civilization that has developed from the mortal stage, no matter how powerful it is at its peak, it will definitely not be born with the rich second generation of the Gods at the beginning.
It's so tyrannical, but even though I know this, I have never really understood the history of the empire, so it sounds unreal at first glance - probably as if you suddenly knew that Bill Gates also gave
When someone washes the dishes, Onyxia feels like she was when she was an egg. Although there is nothing wrong, it doesn't stop the psychological impact at all, okay?
"Most of the history about the initial period of birth cannot be verified, including where the ancient race that created us came from, what they encountered before before they decided to create super beings like Xiling Apostles, and what was the fate of our original hometown. These
There are only sporadic records of things now, and they are stored here—" Sandora pointed to her forehead, "In the basic memory bank. We only know that the ancient race created all the beings after creating the 'Apostle'.
perished. They entered all their culture and knowledge into the database of the apostles, which was equivalent to handing over the entire civilization to their own creations, and then disappeared into the void. Their civilization and mission before their demise were in their own creations.
Therefore, we call ourselves apostles, not 'Xiling people'. Although many people who don't know the inside story often call the two together, and on some occasions, some people directly refer to Xiling apostles as Xiling people, but we ourselves
Never say that. The Xiling people have become extinct, and we are the Xiling apostles..."
"Are the apostles created to fight against the abyss?" Lin Xue suddenly thought of something and asked.
Sandora thought for a moment and nodded: "Although there is no direct record, considering that the initial memory of our memory bank is the information about fighting against the abyss, this should be the truth of the year. We were captured in order to fight against the abyss.
What they created should probably be called war weapons. But no one knows why the creators went to this extent: they completely replaced their positions with 'apostles' and gave up their entire civilization... They are
It is difficult for us to understand that a mortal race has created beings like apostles who can evolve in the direction of gods. The research on the creators has been uninterrupted throughout the old empire, but until the collapse of the empire, this research did not have any
The progress was so great that by the time of the New Empire, it had become an impossible project."
"The records about the original body are also in a similar state," Alleria continued. "The original body and the creator are basically in the same era. We have always guessed that during the period when the original body was first born, they may even be the same as the creator.
The creators lived together for a period of time. Perhaps the creators made the final improvements and modifications to the original body during that time. But later they found that they could no longer understand these super beings who were rapidly improving themselves, so they chose to leave - this
These are all speculations by scholars. After the creator completely disappeared, the original body became the successor of the Xiling Civilization. They continued to search for traces of the abyss, fought everywhere, and followed the original instructions: evolve, become stronger, and destroy the three pillars of the abyss.
Criteria. Continuous development, development by any means. In this process, there should have been several disasters that almost led to the end of civilization, and records about them were also intermittent in those super battles. But each disaster failed to defeat the original body, and they ignored it.
Evolving without any obstacles, customizing their own life forms, occupying all places that can bring them value, and then evolving again according to the local environment. In the end, the 'branch' appeared after the 'original body', and once again made the whole of Greece
Something that has drastically changed spiritual civilization. The single-evolved original body was replaced by the branch race. The original body divided itself into several groups according to the needs of the race. Each group carried out a 'use it or lose it' type of transformation towards a fixed function.
.The original primarch was comprehensive. The creators integrated all their racial talents into the primarch, allowing them to have a wide variety of combat modes. However, the branch chose to abandon this mixed and unrefined route and return to the creators.
Such a state of differentiation of specialties, and they were done more thoroughly - armored scorpions, ravens, heavily armored soldiers and other apostles whose arms were determined by race appeared in batches, ushering in the era of branch clans. The history after that is in the database
Clear information, and the records about the original body are basically the same as my narrative, similar to a story."
After Alleria finished speaking, Lin Xue and I stood beside the "primarch" and quietly looked at the latter's simple and primitive psionic parts: "This is the first one in history that has appeared in front of you.
Primarch, right?"
Alleria, Tavel and Sandora nodded silently.
"Why do the Merovans know about the existence of the original body?" I suddenly asked this question, "Have you ever told your vassal race about the original body? It should be impossible."
"The Merova people may have found the records of the original body from some of the imperial equipment they stole," Alleria said. "When we were counting the supplies in Celestial City, we found that a large part of the missing facilities were
Scientific research facilities, it’s not surprising that the Merova people know about the original body from those materials.”
"Then the question comes back to the original point: What use does the Merova people have for the original body?" Even Great Seer Lin looked confused this time. She spread her hands and looked around at each of us, "They also want to create the original body.
Body? Is this possible?"
Lin Xue's words made me feel a little shocked. I instinctively felt that the prophet might have accidentally come into contact with the truth again, but Alleria immediately denied it: "It's meaningless. Copying the original body is meaningless. It's too obvious."
, from our current perspective, the original body is actually only slightly stronger than the war puppet. The Merova people are not fools, even if they get the original body. From the body structure of the original body itself, even if they study it to the limit, they can only
A war puppet can be copied exactly as it is: because more and deeper knowledge cannot be obtained from the original body itself, and the data from the beginning of creation have been lost with the death of the creator. What's more, even if Merova
If a person replicates the same body as a modern apostle, it can only create a group of super soldiers. I have some understanding of that race. They admire strength and think highly of themselves because of their ancient qualifications. Therefore, they must also have the characteristics that meet the requirements.
Their ambition, what they are pursuing... is probably something bigger."
"For example..." I thought for a while, "They also want to become Xiling Apostles?"
The scene fell silent, and after a few seconds, Shandora actually smiled: "Because God has perished, the servant of that day wanted to sit on the altar himself... This is indeed an interesting ambition."
"I'm just making a guess," I spread my hand, "but Alleria also said that after researching the original body to the limit, we can only copy the war puppet. I think the core technology used to create the original body back then was only creation.
Only then will we realize that the ambitions of the Merova people will probably always remain ambitions."
"With this ambition, and the actions they made for it," Sandora narrowed her eyes, "it is already a punishable crime."
