After the spaceship entered the hyperspace state, the four ascetics stopped talking, and except for the bearded man, the other three simply sat on the floor of the bridge, closed their eyes and began to meditate. Hao Ren wanted to continue chatting with them about the dream position.
Faced with the affairs of the Huiyao Sect, they found that these people were not keen on chatting: they answered all questions before just because they urgently needed to understand their situation. Now that this matter has been understood clearly, the ascetics returned to Muran.
state.
However, Lily never let the atmosphere affect her mobility. She didn't care whether others were willing to pay attention to her or not and started to greet the three people sitting on the ground: "Hey, don't sit on the ground, there are chairs here..."
The three people sitting on the ground just shook their heads slightly and said nothing. The bearded man simply replied: "There is no need for unnecessary enjoyment. Meditating on the teachings of the goddess is already the highest pleasure."
Hao Ren scratched his hair and looked at the beard, and then suddenly remembered something very important: "Ah, that's right! I forgot that I didn't ask your names yet!"
Unexpectedly, the bearded man just shook his head slightly when he heard this: "Ascetics have no names, we don't need names, and we don't need to be remembered by names."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "No name? You don't have a name? How do you usually call each other? And what do you usually do... can you do it without a name?"
Hao Ren felt like he had heard incredible things like Arabian Nights. He really couldn't imagine how a group of people with no names lived and worked. How did they assign tasks? How did they communicate with each other? What happened when they mentioned other ascetics in the conversation?
Do you know who you are talking about? If nothing else - if something happens to someone outside, you don't know how to report it when you come back! However, looking at the expression on the bearded man's face, he is extremely serious. It is obvious that he is not joking.
"We don't need names," the bearded man spread his hands and tilted his head slightly to the other three people beside him. Although he didn't speak and the other people didn't open their eyes, one person nodded slightly in response, "Ascetic."
They have their own methods of induction and identification, and His Majesty the Pope can also contact each ascetic through secret methods. In addition, we do not need to be responsible to anyone, nor do we need any more complicated social interactions."
Hao Ren was amazed. Only then did he realize that these ascetics had established something similar to a spiritual network! It was not that they had no names, but only those within their "network" knew how to distinguish these "names". He didn't know either.
How was this kind of network established? Is it simply based on boring meditation?
But the bearded man no longer responded to his further questions. The ascetic also lowered his head and entered a state of meditation like the others, leaving only one sentence: "Let me know when you arrive at your destination."
Four men in gray robes were sitting on the floor of the bridge competing for endurance. Each one was as lifeless as a wood carving or stone sculpture, which even made the entire bridge fall into a dull environment. Lily couldn't stand this atmosphere, she
After a while, he began to circle around the four people restlessly. Occasionally, he would get on all fours and circle quickly, sniffing hard and muttering: "It's so boring... just breathe the air with them."
I feel so stuffy that I can’t stand it! Why didn’t I feel this way before on the planet of little green men..."
"Nonsense, I wasn't meditating at that time. Come back soon and stop making trouble, I'm doing business." Vivian was sitting on her seat in an old-fashioned way, scolding Lily a few words while she was busy. She was pinching
There were two long knitted scarves, and there were several balls of thick silver-white thread in the small basket on the leg. When Lily saw the thick threads, she couldn't help but run over, grabbed a ball of thread and made signs on her tail: "
Wow, this is my hair... You're so good at it and you've made it into threads? How did you do it?"
"The power of magic," Vivian replied while knitting quickly. When she saw Lily rubbing the ball of thread on her tail, she couldn't help but poke the latter's arm with the needle tail, "Don't bother.
, it won’t grow back. But if you don’t mind turning into a hairball monster again, I can get you some more hair restorer. Maybe I can even knit a sweater for the landlord…and get myself a pair of gloves by the way.”
When Lily heard this, the hairs on her tail suddenly stood up. She quickly threw away the ball of thread and ran back to her chair, curled up in a ball and dozed off.
In fact, the Holy Artifact of Origin is now on the Giant Turtle Rock Platform. Hao Ren could have started experimenting with the Temple Orb immediately after leaving the little green man planet, but he wanted to leave a research sample, so he gave the data terminal an hour
He came to copy the sacred artifact and concealed the fact that several ascetics had the sacred artifact on board the spacecraft. After the spacecraft docked at Kuiper Station, he woke up the bearded men and pretended to communicate with the loading and unloading department at the port.
Then he said with a serious face: "Okay, that piece of equipment has been placed in the laboratory of the spacecraft. Let's go and see if the Holy Temple Orb is from there."
The Four Great Vajra... Uh. The four ascetics jumped up from the ground immediately and said without hesitation: "Let's go."
A group of people rushed to the scientific research cabin in a hurry. Most of them went to watch the excitement. The original version of the Origin Artifact has been put away, and now its replica is placed on the research device in the center of the laboratory. It looks like
The genuine ones are exactly the same - in fact, they are exactly the same. The ship-based factory on this ship will never make mistakes when replicating such a "simple device". The reproduction accuracy is Planck level.
Therefore, the replica placed in the center of the room can be called a genuine "Origin Sacred Artifact".
The four of them, Bearded, did not pay any attention to the dazzling advanced machines in the scientific research cabin. All their attention was focused on the Origin Sacred Artifact. This "ancient" device was different from any creation in the current Dream Plane.
There was a huge difference, but the four ascetics saw a sense of familiarity from their hometown in the patterns in the details of the device. Upon seeing this, the data terminal commanded the manipulator to open the upper cover of the sacred instrument, and the round hole the size of a football appeared in front of everyone.
before.
"This..." Big Beard felt his heart tighten when he saw the lines inside the round hole. He has been guarding the Holy Temple Orb for many years and knows every detail on the orb. Even if he just glances at it, he is 100% sure.
The gap in the equipment in front of you is just for the orb!
With the holy artifact in front of them, the ascetics truly believed some of Hao Ren's claims. The bearded man carefully took out the Holy Temple Orb he carried with him, but he still looked at Hao Ren cautiously: "Let me install it...
…And you must ensure that there will be no accidents during this process, and that the Holy Temple Orb must not be damaged at all!"
Hao Ren hurriedly confirmed the safety of this process again and again, almost swearing by Raven 12345's moral integrity - of course, if he really used this to swear, he wouldn't have much moral integrity left. Then he controlled the center of the room.
The platform slowly lowered, and the bearded man gritted his teeth before taking a few steps forward, holding the Holy Temple Orb in both hands with an almost respectful attitude, and placed it on the groove of the Origin Sacred Artifact.
There was a "click" sound, and it fit perfectly.
Energy was immediately injected into the sacred vessel, and a low hum immediately sounded from the newly manufactured device that was exactly the same as the original. A moment later, a monotonous and stereotyped voice came from the sacred vessel: "The system passed the self-test.
Reload important plug-ins. Confirm the database...The database is slightly damaged and is being repaired...The repair is completed. Some redundant functions are limited and the main functions of the device are ready."
Hao Ren was suddenly surprised and delighted. Even something unexpected made him almost jump up with joy: "Hurry up and see what this thing is made of!"
The data terminal was also very happy. It floated up and directed several autonomous machines to move some strange containers: "This is not simple. Just add the ingredients and press the start button, and then let the machine run while reading it.
database."
Hao Ren hurriedly urged the data terminal to start. He himself couldn't bear to be curious and moved behind the Origin Artifact to observe. Even Doudou jumped onto the latter's case without anyone noticing: The little guy didn't know
What was this for? But when she saw her father was so happy, she thought this huge thing in front of her must be very powerful.
Maybe she is her long-lost second cousin.
A small part of the shell of the Origin Sacred Artifact was quickly removed, and several "feeding ports" were opened. Various raw materials synthesized from the ship-based factory were injected into it in sequence. The data terminal commanded the injection of raw materials while reading the Sacred Artifact.
The core, which is the database of the Temple Orb, is to confirm that there is no problem with the synthesis of these raw materials. The Temple Orb is indeed a storage and processing device - it is a pity that it has just started running, and many things will gradually start up with it.
can be read out. Now the data terminal can only confirm the raw material list.
"Water...normal, group A protein...normal, acidified composite...normal, mineral group 01...normal, mineral group 02...normal..." The data terminal read while comparing, and everyone around them started to read.
Its slow voice carried an increasingly strong sense of anticipation.
According to part of the description of the sacred artifact, this is an extremely fast synthesis device. It only takes a short while to initially create what you want. Hao Ren has already begun to figure out when to stop the synthesis:
He didn't want to really create a living person with spiritual consciousness but no control. How to deal with it would be a troublesome matter.
No one noticed that Doudou was still lying in a small corner in the back half of the Origin Artifact: this corner was the location of a main feeding port, and the open guard plate on the feeding port just blocked the entire figure of the little mermaid.
.
Doudou looked down at the feeding port, put her head in and smelled it, and immediately patted her tail happily: she felt this should be delicious.
