Chapter 428 Constructing the Mastermind
Su Mo and Su Mo Tong walked into the weird building together. The moonlight poured in through the colorful painted windows, casting strange shadows.
The interior of the building was a tall and empty palace space, which was similar to the structure of an ancient arena. In the middle was a huge open space, surrounded by stepped stands. The candlesticks on both sides were covered with thick wax stains, which had obviously been burned out for a long time.
A huge chandelier hung on the top of the ceiling. It looked like crystal, but if you look closely, you will find that they are some special crystals that humans have never synthesized.
These crystals were suspended high in the air. Although they were not illuminated by the moonlight, they were also emitting a faint white light.
In the central open space, a ball of light was suspended in the air. Complex electronic circuits and energy flows could be vaguely seen inside it. It looked like some kind of machine, but it kept changing its form as if it had life.
Sometimes it turned into a huge eye looking around, and sometimes it turned into countless twisted rays of light spreading everywhere. The constant buzzing sound from inside was like the whispers of countless people, mixed with electronic noise, making the surroundings filled with strange electromagnetic fluctuations, as if the entire space was resonating with it.
The moment he saw this ball of light, Su Motong suddenly stepped back a few steps, holding his forehead with his hand, frowning tightly, as if he had noticed something strange.
"This is a construct, not a worker bee or a queen bee. Its existence is above me."
Su Mo did not respond to Su Motong, but just looked up.
The light emitted by the ball of light gradually became brighter, illuminating the layered stands shrouded in shadows.
There was a person sitting on the seats in the stands, and the number just corresponded to the residents of Sky City.
However
All of them were corpses.
The corpses of these human elites wore uniform silver uniforms inlaid with complex electronic circuits and chips. Their bodies were distorted to varying degrees, but their faces were unusually calm.
Each corpse's head was connected to a thin cable, extending from all directions to the light ball creature in the center of the open space. Blue light flowed in the cable, flickering with the changes of the light ball creature, as if reaching a certain frequency band resonance.
At the highest point of the stands, there was the only living person among these human elites.
He was too old, almost skin and bones all over his body, his wrinkled skin was like dead bark, showing a dead gray-black color, and his teeth in his mouth had long been rotten.
This old man, who was exhausted, lay on a huge machine, with various life-sustaining tubes inserted into his body. Like the surrounding corpses, his head was also connected to a thin cable.
Although his appearance was so old that it was difficult to distinguish, people who knew the history of giant companies would be surprised to find that this person was "Yan Wenwu", the founder of the joint venture company with a statue at the entrance of each branch.
According to Yan Wenwu's date of birth, he is now over 200 years old.
No human can live to this age naturally. He can survive until now entirely relying on the power of technology. All the technologies that can be used to prolong life in the world today have been used on him.
But for human flesh and blood, more than two hundred years is still too long.
No matter how Ren Yanwenwu prolongs his life and refuses death, his body is still like a candle that is about to burn out and will burn to the bottom at any time.
The dying old man has lost all his body functions and can no longer vibrate his vocal cords, but the life support machine under him can recognize brain waves and read his thoughts.
As a prompt light came on, the life support machine issued a steady and majestic human voice: "Mr. Su Mo, everyone else has embarked on the road to the new world, and I stayed here to wait for your arrival. Now, I will explain the current situation to you."
"You can control a queen bee, so I judge that you have sufficient understanding of the construct species. Redundant information will not be mentioned, only the core elements will be mentioned."
"The ball of light you see is the supreme existence in the construct civilization, higher than the "queen bee", it is called the "main brain". "
"In the Doomsday War 156 years ago, humans defeated the constructs at the cost of their entire civilization, suppressed and sealed the Mastermind, and it has survived until now."
"In the past 156 years, we have mastered a special technology through our research on the Mastermind, which can completely erase the Mastermind's consciousness and transfer human consciousness to it."
"This means that we can completely occupy the Mastermind's body with human consciousness and become its master."
"And this is the only way to survive the world-destroying blow of the Spear of Judgment. ”
After the global announcement this morning, many people actually had questions.
Why did the people of Sky City activate the Spear of Judgment?
According to the description, the range of the Spear of Judgment is the entire planet, and the target is all humans. And because humans have limited knowledge of construct technology, the attack program cannot be modified.
This means that the people of Sky City are also one of the targets, because they are also human beings.
In this case, why do they want to activate the Spear of Judgment to "commit suicide"?
Are these human elites really so paranoid that they would rather destroy all of humanity, including themselves, than hand over the fruits of victory to the rebels?
And now, this question has been answered.
The reason why the people of Sky City activated the Spear of Judgment is because the upcoming doomsday attack has no effect on them.
The Spear of Judgment is the ultimate weapon created by the construct, and the target is "all humans."
It is very simple to avoid the attack, just stop being human.
As long as they upload their complete consciousness into the main brain, they are no longer human, but constructs, and naturally will not be recognized by the Spear of Judgment.
After the destruction of the current human race, the people of Sky City can survive in the main brain with ideology and become the last spark of civilization, restarting the new era at any time.
A new era where they are still the masters.
Yan Wenwu moved his cloudy eyes with difficulty to look at Su Mo, and the life-support device under him continued to speak.
"Now, on behalf of Sky City, I formally invite you to join us."
"You can bring a few companions you recognize and merge with the main brain with us."
"Each consciousness in the main brain has equal status. Only one consciousness awakens at a time. When awakened, it will have complete control over the main brain body, which lasts for 10 years. After the end, it will enter hibernation and rotate with others until the next awakening."
"With the number of consciousnesses currently in the main brain, a rotation cycle is more than a thousand years. It seems long, but it is only long for humans."
"The main brain has a nearly immortal body and an almost infinite lifespan. A thousand years is just a blink of an eye for it. We will gain eternal life in it."
"Don't worry about feeling lonely in the new world after the end of the world. Sky City has preserved millions of human embryonic cells. We can restart human civilization at any time and become gods in the new world until time 's end. "
After saying that, Yan Wenwu, with the help of the mechanical arm, raised the arm with difficulty, whose muscles had long been atrophied, and seemed to extend an invitation to Su Mo: "Join us and become part of the main brain."
Su Mo: "Why should I accept this invitation? Crowded in a body with more than a hundred people, it takes more than a thousand years to wake up once, what's the difference between that and being in prison. "
Yan Wenwu: "You can no longer be bound by the mortal body and gain eternal life. "
Su Mo: "Birth, aging, illness and death are the normal state of human beings. Refusing to face this is precisely the manifestation of cowardice. You are a guy who is unwilling to face death and tries to achieve so-called eternal life. You are no longer even a human being. "
Yan Wenwu: "At least you can survive the attack of the Spear of Judgment, otherwise you will die when the dawn rises. "
Su Mo: "Guess what I came here for?"
The surroundings fell into a dead silence, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Finally, Yan Wenwu's voice came slowly: "That's it, there's no turning back."
"Buzz--" A sharp sound resounded through the hall, and the cable connected to Yan Wenwu's brain lit up with a blue light stream, and showed various grotesque symbols emitting faint light.
The turbid pupils lost focus in an instant, and the dying body finally took its last breath.
At the same time, his data consciousness was extracted and sent into the main brain of the construct, completing the final fusion.
At this moment, the body of the main brain began to change. Its light was sometimes as bright as daylight, and sometimes as dim as the netherworld. The invisible energy set off a strong electromagnetic storm, covering the entire hall.
Su Motong, who was already in a bad state, was hit by this wave, and the whole person fell to the ground. It seemed that countless needles were stabbing back and forth in her head, making her curl up and hug her head tightly.
"It's so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable."
"My body. There's something. In my body."
"Ah!!!"
She screamed while shaking all over, her black eyes suddenly turned scarlet, staring at Su Mo who had his back to her, and then pounced on her like a beast.
"Boom——" The blood code of the mad skeleton surged, and endless pale bones separated from Su Mo's body, passing through the gaps between Su Mo Tong's limbs in the blink of an eye, and stuck her legs and arms.
Su Mo Tong's eyes glowed red, and she screamed madly, wanting to attack Su Mo, and kept tearing the mad skeleton bones that trapped her.
However, even though she was the noble queen bee in the construct population, she had not yet grown to the peak period, and it was still too difficult to tear open the black king-level mad skeleton bones, and she was completely trapped by Su Mo.
The main brain was emitting white light at a specific frequency at this time. If you look closely, you will find that it is exactly the same frequency as the red light emitted by Su Mo Tong's eyes, achieving a certain resonance.
This ball of light does not have biological mouthparts. The sound comes directly from inside it. It sounds like hundreds of thousands of people chanting at the same time: "Queen Bee, give up resistance and devote yourself to me."
Su Motong is indeed a noble queen bee, but she is not the highest in her species.
The main brain in front of her is the supreme existence among all constructs.
The main brain can control the queen bee, just as the queen bee can control the worker bees.
At this time, the main brain is controlling Su Motong through the unique bee swarm consciousness of the construct, making her attack Su Mo.
Su Motong kept struggling and howling, and the red light in her eyes flickered. It was obvious that she was resisting the main brain with her own consciousness.
But in front of the bee swarm consciousness engraved into the instinct of the species, the so-called power of will is still too weak.
If Su Mo hadn't imprisoned her with the Crazy Skeleton Bones, she would have pounced on her and started a fight.
Su Mo urged the Crazy Skeleton Blood Code to continuously differentiate the Bones, wrapping Su Motong inside and isolating her from the outside world.
The deep and ethereal voice of the main brain sounded: "Your efforts are in vain. As the main brain, the queen bee is nothing but a piece of cake for me."
"I heard that you have been raising her as your daughter, which is ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is that you brought her here and made her your weak point."
"It will only take me one minute at most to wipe out the personality of this queen bee and make her a being without any self-consciousness like a worker bee."
"When the time comes, I will enjoy the desperate fight between you father and daughter."
After the main brain finished speaking, he suddenly found that Su Mo's reaction was different from what he imagined.
It stands to reason that at this time, Su Mo should be very anxious, otherwise he will not only lose Su Mo Tong forever in a minute, but will also be forced to fight with her.
But Su Mo's expression at this time was very calm. From the moment he entered this hall, whether he saw Yan Wenwu, witnessed the main brain of the construct, or Su Mo Tong was controlled, he was so calm.
It was like
he had seen this scene countless times.
After isolating Su Mo Tong with the Crazy Skeleton Bone, Su Mo began his next move.
Dense black scales appeared on the surface of his body, and with the rising core temperature, his body began to show signs of alienation, showing the form of a dragon.
The Dragon Flame Blood Code ability, Dragonization, activates the dragon-like alien genes in the body to gain extra strength at the cost of causing malignant damage to the body.
Between the gaps of the black dragon scales, one could vaguely see blood vessels expanding. The turbulent blood flow affected the iris, turning his eyes red.
The Scarlet Rose Blood Code ability, Burning Blood, accelerated the consumption of IPS cells in the body, violently raising various body functions including athletic ability and dynamic vision.
The energy core began to overclock, bursting out with a deafening roar, and plasma black flames gushed out from it and burned all over the body, setting off a black flame wave around the body.
The prosthetic ability, fifth gear overload, put the energy core into an overload state, allowing the body to gain unprecedented overload power.
Various abilities appeared in Su Mo in turn, and the majestic pressure they brought swept around like a storm, unprecedentedly huge.
If this was in the game, Su Mo's behavior would have a special term to describe it-overlay BUFF.
All abilities that can be used to increase damage, whether the cost is reduced defense, reduced resistance, reduced blood volume limit, or anything else, are all set on him.
Su Mo is now like an active volcano. All aspects of his body have been destroyed by himself, but he has also gained the greatest power in his life, and the raging fire is about to erupt.
Facing Su Mo with full power, the main brain's emotionless voice sounded: "Why bother struggling? You are just a mortal, there is no way you can fight me."
Su Mo seemed to have heard a joke, and looked at it with a meaningful and playful look: "There is no way I can fight you? Sorry, I have killed you more than a dozen times."
"By the way, I am also the first in the speed kill record of this final BOSS battle."
"It will take less than a minute to kill you." (End of this chapter)
