Chapter seven hundred and twenty eight small conflict
Marbus patiently explained to the Guards through the holographic image what functions the armor specially customized for him had. This was an order from the monarch, requiring Zero to understand the power armor that would accompany him throughout his life. When Mars
After the foundry's plan is completed, some people will return to Earth and be completely brought under the rule of the Praetorian Guards, specifically producing weapons for the Praetorian Guards - Zero knows that the monarch has not handed over all technical reserves to Mars.
If he passes the test, those mechanical scholars who have returned from Mars will have limited access to some forbidden technologies under the supervision of the Praetorian Guards, especially him. In fact, Zero once visited Kama under the guidance of the Sovereign.
Taj's prison and the forbidden technology brought back by the monarch. He knew that any of those tightly held things could destroy the world, and limited research would help them understand future enemies.
Even if there are dedicated personnel responsible for the weapons and armor of the Praetorian Guards in the future, the Praetorian Guards will still have to learn to maintain their weapons and armor themselves.
How to inspect and maintain components such as the Uru metal energy cable from the dwarf forging planet, the vibranium transmission from Wakanda, the neural probe and pulse fiber from the Celestial Group, how to understand the problem through error codes, etc. One item is prohibited
The data volume of the Guards' armor will never be smaller than that of a sky aircraft carrier. A large amount of metallurgical data, mechanical models and servo codes flowed across the screen like a waterfall. Zero's adjusted brain quickly understood those contents. He was able to understand what was written on his armor.
What kind of metallurgical achievements are there? What kind of light of human wisdom is reflected in the armor's shock-absorbing system, servo system, transmission system and other mechanical structures? The artistic beauty displayed by the gorgeous gems and armor sculptures that took a lot of effort by craftsmen to cut.
It's just the most inconspicuous thing.
Zero found technology from the Brotherhood of the Shield in the design of neural manipulation, and designs from Stark Industries in the life support and firefighting systems. He was certain that the Monarch had not paid any royalties to Stark Industries.
, As for the Holy Shield Brotherhood, the monarch has stored the bones of those human sages in the temple for people to admire. Even if those sages are still alive, they will praise the immortal city that practices their ideals.
Malbus's mission was to let Zero thoroughly understand the armor on his body, but Zero's enhanced thinking ability found that Malbus's image was somewhat abnormal. He then asked several classic Winograd test questions
, and then got an unexpected answer.
"I guarantee that this program has not violated the ban." The holographic image suddenly closed, and then the projection of Malbus appeared again. Only this time, the image of Malbus was much more vivid.
"I know, and I also know that Ultron is actually in your hands." Zero nodded, "The monarch has prohibited the improvement and research of Ultron, so the monarch must know about this."
"He knows. He knows everything, boy." Malbus said in a mechanical synthesized voice. Zero could not clearly see Malbus' face that was obscured by a large number of detection instruments, nor could he guess who he was through the bland electronic voice.
Thoughts. "He is my monarch and I have served him for more than a thousand years. Do you think he doesn't know me well enough?"
The previous image of Malbus was just artificial intelligence and a combined model, similar to an instruction manual with intelligence.
Even with Salomon's order, Marbus was unwilling to waste time on a Janissary who had not experienced all the trials. Instead, he used a program that barely touched the ban to complete the task until Zero discovered
No. Zero was not angry because he had been in contact with Malbus and knew that he was a pragmatist. He also knew that he could only obtain the honor of the monarch's spokesman after completing the trial.
Before that, he was nothing.
"Even if that program did not violate the ban, you made more than one mistake." Zero said without fear. He stood up and looked down at the flashing holographic image, "First, you used the teaching machine to teach the guards
Install bugs in the military room. Secondly, you think that false reputation and power can make the candidates for the Praetorian Guard bow their heads. I only obey the orders of the monarch, not yours."
He picked up the spare bolter placed aside and emptied the magazine towards the teaching projection machine.
Zero took a deep breath and planned to put on his armor and report the matter to the monarch. But he gave up this plan after thinking for a few seconds, sat back down in his seat, and continued to wipe the bolt gun parts in his hand with his head lowered.
It was as if nothing had happened, and the acrid smell of gunpowder smoke that filled the room was just an illusion. As Marbas said, the monarch knew everything, let alone what happened in the Eternal City. He believed that the monarch could do his own thing.
Judgment, he did not intend to comment on this before the monarch inquired.
This terrifying weapon, whose recoil when fired can shatter the bones of a mortal user, has an extremely complex mechanical structure, not to mention the data network connected to the neurally controlled armor. The electronic components and chips are heavily protected so that they will not be damaged by rough handling.
As for the damage, Zero could only maintain that part of the mechanical structure. He had to connect the data interface to the engineering computer to repair the other part. He was thinking about the children who were also candidates for the Praetorian Guard.
He used to be one of them. But now, he can't remember the appearance of his parents. The two faces he remembers most clearly are the monarch and the biological laboratory director, Maya Hansen, who is responsible for genetic modification technology.
. Under the monarch's time magic, the genetic alchemy that consumed a lot of resources quickly showed its powerful effect. The growth that should have lasted for hundreds of years passed in a flash, turning him from a thin and short child into a
A strong adult. His body and mind were forcibly matured in a short period of time, and he mastered a lot of knowledge in a very short period of time. Mortal girls in the sisterhood must wear power armor in order to be able to hold small-caliber bolt guns.
And to protect himself from recoil, he was able to pick up the standard-sized bolter used by the Guards with his bare hands and shoot directly without protection.
He will continue to grow taller and stronger until all subsequent surgeries are completed and the armor is put on.
The trial is more than just killing, and the monarch expects more from him than just a tool to carry out violence.
He also has to go through the examinations that mortals with advanced degrees have gone through, read mountains of books, extract his own wisdom from them, and become the monarch's advisor as the direction and result of future human evolution. Developed brain, strong body
and superior wisdom. This is something that the sisterhood obsessed with destruction and service cannot do, and it is also the most fundamental reason why the monarch made him a candidate for the Guards. What his master wants is not destruction but construction, as long as
But few people understand it.
Number Zero began to extend his thinking.
In the myths and legends of many civilizations, a large part of the reason why gods create intelligent species is to create creatures that can understand themselves. So, is the original motive of the monarch in creating the Praetorian Guards because artificial people cannot do this? However, those superstitious
What the myth expresses is nothing more than human beings' fear of an incomprehensible fate and the natural force that dominates life and death. As a Praetorian Guard, he should not have such ignorant ideas.
As the monarch said, gods are not qualified to manipulate the fate of humans. If humans always have a fearful attitude, the day when they rule the galaxy will never come.
