Volume 19 Chapter 93 Three Masters

In any case, this guy is an outsider. Even if what he says makes sense, I can't believe everything he says just by listening to his one-sided remarks. So after listening to this guy's introduction, I He went to the Construct Creature Development Center together, where Jiaha's body has been moved since we last discovered it.

"The output here is too high. If you reduce the power a little, you will have to break the main bearing in a few times. And the transmission group, what are you doing? If the power output is high, you won't replace it with a better one. General manager?"

"But the B-type general contract price is too high. If it is a mass-produced machine, we may not be able to bear the cost!"

"Whether it can bear it or not is a matter for the guild management. We are the research department, and our only goal is to design the strongest constructed creature. If we can't build it, it's because of poor management of the guild and has nothing to do with us."

As soon as I walked into the laboratory with the magic doll, I heard a quarrel, and Jiaha's voice was obviously the loudest. "I'm talking about Master Jiaha. Although I said there is no limit on your research funding, you still have to be considerate of us, right? We can't afford to make a monster that is too exaggerated!"

Jiaha turned around immediately when he heard my voice. After seeing me coming in with a magic doll, he didn't immediately answer my words, but focused on the magic doll in my hand. "What is this? Why does it look so familiar? But this doesn't seem to be the model produced after I got here, right?"

"Don't you remember me, old friend?" After hearing Jiaha's words, the guy I was carrying also spoke.

"It's you!" Jiaha's voice was obviously several times louder, shaking the entire laboratory and causing many researchers to cover their ears.

Looking at the frightened researchers around me, I pointed down and said, "Isn't it inconvenient here? Why don't we go down below to talk?"

Jiaha probably felt that this was indeed not a place for conversation, so his huge body immediately moved towards the special elevator. Originally, Jiaha's body had turned into a large instrument like a giant computer. However, after joining our guild, for the convenience of experiments, he designed something like a tank chassis for himself, which could allow his large machine to The head rotates on this thing and can be moved by it. Of course, as a research geek, he did not forget to install sixteen robotic arms for himself, which would make it easier for him to personally conduct some more important experiments.

After Jiaha stepped on the special elevator, the elevator automatically began to descend, and soon we arrived at Jiaha's special workshop underground. This is not the main laboratory, it is mainly used for Jiaha to test some theories and other things, so there is not too much equipment, and no one comes here except him, so it can also be used as a reception room.

The demon was so rude after being carried into this room by me. He directly grabbed a metal ingot next to it and fused it into his body, and then transformed into two legs, so that he didn't have to be carried around by me. Ran.

I didn't pay much attention to his changes. Anyway, even if this guy wanted to do something bad again, I could stop him. Besides, depending on what Jiaha means, they should be very familiar with each other, so the possibility that what this guy said before is the truth is much higher.

After we all entered the room, Jiaha first said to me: "Where did you find this guy?"

"It's a little unexpected." I briefly explained the discovery of the demon doll, and then asked directly: "I heard from this guy that neither you nor he are the real Jiaha, but just a copy of himself made by Jiaha." Taste?"

After a moment of silence, Jiaha suddenly said: "Yes, neither he nor I is the real Jiaha."

Hearing such an answer suddenly made both me and the demon stunned. I originally thought Jiaha would deny what I said, but I didn't expect him to admit it. Originally, according to my thinking, if the demon doll told the truth, then this Jiaha should think that he is the real Jiaha, and thus deny my words. However, if what this demon said is a lie, then this Jiaha is the real Jiaha, then he will still deny my words. In other words, no matter what the devil said is true or false, Jiaha will definitely not admit it. What surprised me, though, was that he admitted it. He actually said that he was not the real Jiaha.

While I was surprised, the demon also screamed in surprise. "What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? Didn't you always say that you were the real Jiaha, and you almost wanted to destroy me because of this? Why did you suddenly admit it?"

Jiaha paused for a while before responding slowly to the demon doll's words. "Actually, I really thought I was Jiaha at first. After all, that's what my memory told me. However, because of your firm denial, I also had a little doubt about myself. Later, after the two of us separated, I I used the golems around me to help me build a secret experimental base. Although the equipment there was not as good as here, after all, after so many years, I still produced some research results. The most critical point is - —I discovered that my soul was an artificial soul."

The so-called artificial soul is an artificial soul, such as the one contained in the mobile angel's body. Of course, corresponding to the existence of artificial souls, natural souls are naturally formed in natural organisms. Generally speaking, artificial souls are very close to natural souls. This will become more difficult to distinguish after the intelligence of artificial souls improves. The souls used by Jiaha are originally used to assist experiments, and even artificial souls are very flexible. He has creativity that is difficult to replicate, which makes his soul even more difficult to identify. However, although it was difficult to identify, Jiaha finally proved that his soul was an artificial soul. However, in Jiaha's memory, the real Jiaha is a human being. He had parents, wife and children, as well as his own teachers and friends. In the end, he even died of physical failure. All this shows that the real Jiaha is a natural person, and his soul should not be an artificial soul.

The Jiaha in our guild is itself a thinking system created for research, and its intelligence is definitely not low. With his intelligence, after discovering that he was not a natural soul, he naturally knew that he was not the real Jiaha. After all, even if the real Jiaha did try to transplant his soul into the current Jiaha, since the natural soul was not successfully transplanted, the current Jiaha is definitely not the same Jiaha, at least to the original Jiaha Not personally.

Seeing that we were all quiet for a long time after hearing this answer, Jiaha added: "After I discovered that my soul was not a natural soul, I simulated the situation at that time. In the end, I came to the conclusion that even if Jiaha himself is really Even if he plans to transplant himself, he will never make himself like me. After all, Jiaha is a human being. No matter how his thoughts change, he will subconsciously think that he is a human being, so even if he wants to transplant himself, he will definitely Choose the look of a humanoid golem instead of a barely moving thinking machine like me.”

I patted Jiaha's iron arm and comforted him and said: "Anyway, you have your own soul, so you are who you are. What if you are not the original Jiaha? Are we going to treat you just because you are not the real Jiaha?" Change my attitude towards you?"

Jiaha also reacted after hearing my words. "Yes, I am Jiaha, not the Jiaha who died back then, but me, the demon Jiaha."

"Hey, Big Head, you are the demon puppet Jiaha, then who am I?" The demon puppet shouted immediately after hearing Jiaha's words. "At first I said I was Jiaha, and you insisted on fighting with me. Now that I say I am Jiaha, the devil, and you are fighting with me again, you are really not happy, are you?"

"Come if you have the ability. Don't think that I'm afraid of you because you have the ability to fuse. Let me tell you, as long as I want, my telekinesis field can instantly turn you into a pile of fly ash and tear your soul into pieces. .”

"Can't you two stop quarreling?" I stopped Jiaha who was quarreling like two children, and then said: "Now let me name you." I pointed to Jiaha from our guild and said: "You don't want to call the devil Jiaha anymore. From now on, your name will be Jiaha, so that everyone can get used to it." Then I turned to the devil and said, "You still use the name of your devil, Jiaha. That way there’s no need to fight.”

When the two Jiaha heard what I said, they both agreed. After all, Jiaha is now my subordinate, so he must show a minimum of respect to his boss. Besides, given the name Jiaha to him, he didn't suffer in the first place. As for the demon puppet Jiaha, first of all, this is the name he thought of himself, and secondly, he is still a prisoner. Of course he is smart and knows that there is absolutely no benefit in offending me.

"Since you have accepted the name, let me understand something first." I said and looked at the demon puppet Jiaha: "You said that Jiaha wanted to transfer his soul into your body. , but you also said that you are not the Jiaha you were back then, so where is Jiaha’s soul?”

"The real Jiaha only lived for a year after transplanting his soul into my body and then disappeared." The demon Jiaha said.

"dissipate?"

"Yes, it dissipated because of unstable energy." said the demon puppet Jiaha: "It turns out that my structure is still not suitable for carrying the natural soul. Jiaha's soul cannot be preserved in my body for a long time. But because there was a year There was a buffer time, so Jiaha finally completed my improvement plan before he died, but it was a pity that the final process was too late and he could not catch up. "

"Then how did you show up?"

"That was a year after the real Jiaha dissipated. Although the real Jiaha soul dissipated, my soul carrier has been transformed into a structure that can adapt to and nourish the natural soul, and then in this year Within a period of time, the empty soul carrier automatically absorbed the free soul energy, and finally formed my first conscious body. I don’t know if it was because Jiaha himself left his soul characteristics in the carrier, my third consciousness As soon as a conscious body is formed, it has most of Jiaha's cognition, and can continue to learn new things. After that, my soul was accidentally pulled out twice, but I found that the soul that was pulled out was It's just a copy of my personality, but I'm still me."

I asked in surprise: "So that part of your soul we extracted before coming here is fake?"

"No, you did extract a soul. It's not fake. It's just that the soul only has my surface consciousness and all the soul energy, but my body is fine. Afterwards, as long as the carrier absorbs enough free energy, I will awaken. Even if my soul is extracted many times, I will just fall into sleep and will not really disappear."

"That's it." I nodded, then paused for a moment before putting on a very serious expression and said, "Now I have a very important problem that I need you to solve. You have to think about it."

Jiaha and the demon Jiaha were both stunned, and then they both looked at me and asked, "Why are you so serious?"

I thought for a while and asked: "Who made Noreen?"

"Noreen?" Both Jiaha were obviously stunned for a moment.

Seeing that they all stopped talking, I added: "Noreen said she was Jiaha's daughter, but later we found out that she was actually a constructed life form, and then we speculated that she should be a demon doll made by Jiaha. , just because she was so perfect, she was always raised as a daughter by Jiaha. Later, Jiaha told me some things about Noreen, because I didn’t know much about you at that time, so I didn’t think too much about it. , but now it seems that Noreen may not have been created by you two, so... Anyway, I don’t want her to be harmed. Although Noreen is just a constructed creature, her mental state is completely that of an innocent girl. She knows that the real Jiaha is no longer here, and I think she will be very sad."

After hearing my words, the two Jiaha fell into a long silence. They waited for a long time before the demon Jiaha said: "Strictly speaking, Norin should be the daughter of the three of us."

"What's the meaning?"

Jiaha's interface explained: "Norin's design concept was proposed by Jiaha himself, but it was not completed until Jiaha's death. Later, because this guy and I competed for the original sound of Jiaha's name, he was owned more I drove out because of my knowledge, so Noreen built it under my attention until it was almost complete. But..."

"However, his research on the soul only stopped at the time before Jiaha's death, and the last year when Jiaha was transferred to me was the time when he truly and thoroughly studied and understood the mysteries of the soul, so only I understand the soul part. But he didn't know how to do it at all. In the end, he had no choice but to send Norin to the disguised Temple of the Earth Mother, which was the nest I built after I was kicked out of Jiaha's original laboratory. Norin finally came to my The hand was given a soul and built. But Big Head no longer had a human form at that time, so he didn't want Noreen to see him, so..." The demon Jiaha stopped here, but I understood what happened next even if he didn’t say anything.

I verified: "In other words, Norin has never met the real Jiaha. The Jiaha she always thought should be your demon Jiaha, but from a construction point of view, the two of you and the real Jiaha are actually the same." Were you involved in the production of Noreen?”

"That's how it should be."

I nodded and said: "That's easy to handle. At least Nolin's feelings will be hurt in the future. You can tell her the truth. Anyway, she has no feelings for the original Jiaha at all. But you'd better I can still make myself look like the real Jiaha when I first met her, then she might be happier." I said to the demon Jiaha.

The demon Jiaha nodded and said: "That's natural. In terms of our feelings for Norin, the three of us Jiaha are actually the same. But it's actually quite troublesome to create that kind of human form. I need more energy. and metal.”

"As long as you don't mess with me, there's no problem."

Jiaha followed: "President, you can rest assured, I can vouch for the credibility of the devil Jiaha. The three of us Jiaha are all trustworthy people."

"I don't doubt this. Oh, by the way, in addition to Nolin, there are also Lunde and Yurina Fanka. Both of them said that they are Jiaha's apprentices. Who accepted them as apprentices?"

"It's me." The demon Jiaha said: "Because I don't have a fixed nest, I often move around outside and come into contact with more people."

Jiaha also said: "My appearance is not suitable for going out, so I have almost never left the laboratory in these years."

"That's clear." I said: "But it's best to call them over and let you explain the matter clearly to avoid causing any trouble in the future. Of course, you must strengthen your body first. For a moment." I said to the demon puppet Jiaha: "Besides soul energy, what else do you need to strengthen your body? Just metal? Any metal will do, or will different metals affect the properties of the body?"

When the demon Jiaha heard that I wanted to strengthen his body, he explained excitedly: "My fusion ability is based on soul energy. The more energy, the more metals can be fused, and the changes will be faster, but regardless of the energy No matter how much, it has no effect on the properties of the body. Theoretically, I can use any metal, but the hardness and strength properties of the synthesized body need to depend on the properties of the metal absorbed. ', so the better the absorption is, the stronger my body will be. And if there is a formula, it can directly allow me to absorb a variety of metal elements, and I can also automatically form alloys according to the ratio on the formula. If there is a comparison With so many formulas and metals, I can even change the alloy ratio on my body at any time as needed to achieve the purpose of changing the body's properties. For example, I can turn my body into a very elastic metal, or It turns into a solid metal with high hardness, or even a cold or heat-resistant metal. In short, as long as you let me know the ratio and ensure that the required ingredients are present, I can change the ratio of metals in my body at will."

"Then what happened to those weapons you made before?"

"That's the same as the metal formula. As long as I understand a certain mechanical structure, I can imitate it. The reason why I imitated the mobile angel of your guild in the cave over there was because I came into contact with and tried the structure of the mobile angel. I found the design to be very reasonable, so I borrowed it.”

After hearing what the guy said, I suddenly thought of a question. "What, if I give you a pile of metal, provide you with energy, and then let you condense a body according to our needs, and then remove your soul carrier and replace it with an artificial soul, then can I use you? Do you have the manufacturing capabilities to mass-produce golems?”

The magic doll Jiaha said with certainty: "Yes, if it is what you said, it can be done, and all the magic dolls synthesized by me can be seamlessly spliced. If others want to dismantle them, they won't be able to find a single seam. Also, there is actually no need for me to synthesize the golems one at a time and then remove my soul carrier and replace it with a new body. That would be too troublesome. As long as the soul energy is enough, I can form hundreds or even thousands of identical ones at once. After they are formed, I only need to cut off the parts connected to them. In this way, I can produce thousands of golems in just a few minutes. Of course, just like many people cannot do it with two hands at the same time Different actions are the same. Although I can make many magic dolls every time, they must all be the same. I can't produce a thousand different magic dolls at the same time. Also, my production method can only give you Saving production time and consumable materials won’t save anything at all.”

"Of course I know this. I'm very satisfied that you can help us quickly produce golems. As for the energy and material issues... wait until I take you to see our guild's Soul Gathering Tower and the mineral veins of Steel City. You’ll feel like that’s not a problem anymore.”

What the demon Jiaha needs is just soul energy, and what is the job of the Spirit Gathering Tower? Isn’t it just about gathering soul energy? Therefore, soul energy may not be easy for other guilds to handle, but it is too much for us to use up. As for steel materials, there is no need to worry. If the big steel mass in Steel City were all melted into metal to make golems, then it is estimated that our golem army could line up from Essinger to Washington. Even if we only spend one tenth of it to produce golems, we The guilds are absolutely inexhaustible.

"Okay, now that the problem is solved, we still have to sign an agreement before we can help you formally strengthen your body."

Although Mogu Jiaha has already said that he wants to join, it is a verbal agreement after all, so I still have to sign an agreement according to the rules before I can rest assured. The demon Jiaha probably also knew my worries. After all, his body would indeed be dangerous when strengthened, so he did not refuse and signed the "deed of sale" readily. After getting this thing, I no longer had any reservations about him. I first threw him a bunch of metal formulas and the design blueprints of the Mobile Angel so that he could remember them clearly, and then pulled him directly to the Spirit Gathering Tower.

"Is this...is this a miracle?" When he saw the soul energy outside the Spirit Gathering Tower that was so concentrated that he could almost touch it with his hands, the demon Jiaha was so excited that he didn't know what to say. . In the past, he was like a resident in the desert who longed for water. He would be excited for a long time when he occasionally encountered a puddle. Today, he suddenly saw a turbulent river. What kind of thoughts can he have in his heart? After being stunned for a few seconds, the demon puppet Jiaha pounced towards the Spirit Gathering Tower, and at the same time shouted: "I have decided, I will never leave here again, this is simply paradise!"
