Chapter 315 Holy Number!
Compared to the excited Herman, the other mechanical sages were accustomed to this.
In fact, the Cult of Mechanicus initially only had the Mechanic School and the Weapon School.
The Lifeblood and Basic Schools that appeared later were founded after they were promoted to priests and sages.
The original intention of establishing these schools was to allow believers to more easily complete their level promotion through research and learning.
Therefore, the birth of the Soul School is not unexpected. It emerged precisely to better serve the Mechanicum itself.
However, some people think that having achieved the status of chief master, they can give orders and dictate to other mechanical sages.
Then the other sages would quickly remind Herman that he was only one step away from being beaten.
In the Cult of Mechanicus, the power of the fist is where the real power lies.
The position is just in name only. The chief master actually does not have much power, but more of a heavy responsibility.
If you are not qualified for the position, someone will soon take your place.
The previous chief masters of the school were more or less unable to recognize reality when they first took office.
But after suffering many social beatings, he will become more obedient.
There are even many mechanical sages who plan to study the soul school in depth, showing eagerness to give it a try.
Apparently, they were all waiting for Herman to make a mistake, which would give them an excuse to beat him up and take his place.
…
…
"Master Herman, this is the initial capital for the establishment of the school. Each school will have a chief and two deputy chairs. You can recruit the two deputy chairs yourself among the mechanical sages."
After the academic discussion, Lana left Herman behind, transferred a sum of 300 million euros to his account, and gave him instructions.
"Uh~ You still need two deputy chairs? I thought I..."
Lana's words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Herman's enthusiasm.
He originally thought that by becoming the chief master, the entire school would become his sole authority, but he did not expect that two deputy chairs would come to divide his rights.
“In physics, 3 is the starting point of all things, in mathematics, 3 is the starting point of an infinite cycle, and in geometry, 3 is the most stable shape.
The God of All Machines, the Ohm Messiah, the Prime Motive Force, is also a trinity.
Therefore, 3 has always been the sacred number of the God of All Machines and the truth of the universe.
At the same time, all operating modes of the entire Mechanicum are related to 3. "
Lana solved Herman's doubts and told him the sacred meaning represented by the number 3.
"Okay, I understand. If you can reach 3 within the Holy See, you must reach 3, right?"
Herman sighed helplessly. Although he had been a member of the Mechanicum for some time, he still didn't like these seemingly weird rules.
But he also understood that since this was the tradition of the Mechanicum, he could only accept it.
After all, he has now become the chief master of this sect, so he must respect the rules and beliefs of this sect.
"When you encounter real problems, you will discover the true meaning of the sacred number '3'. It is not only sacred, but also a symbol of greatness!"
Lana smiled slightly and did not continue to argue with Herman about the sacred number.
You must know that the existence of holy numbers is not just nonsense on her part, but an absolute truth born out of countless miracles.
Anything related to the God of All Machines cannot escape the constraints of the laws of sacred numbers.
Even the God of All Machines himself cannot violate this law.
Because this is the foundation of the God of All Machines. If you give up the law, it is equivalent to giving up your own existence.
And perhaps even the Holy Son himself was not aware of this.
At this moment, Lana couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart and snickered secretly.
In this world, no one understands the God of All Opportunities better than her.
"Thank you very much for your correction. I will definitely work hard to explore the laws of sacred numbers."
Herman quickly accepted Lana's point of view.
After all, God does exist and can be clearly perceived.
Since such a thing as a sacred number does exist, it must have miraculous effects.
There is no need for the Pope to deliberately create a mysterious atmosphere on this matter. After all, the Mechanicum is not an ordinary religious belief, but a convert to the truth.
“May your gears never rust!”
Lana showed a satisfied smile and then left slowly with elegant steps.
“May your gears never rust!”
…
…
At the same time, Xiao gradually began to receive news from the outside world.
For the past entire month, the entire Night City has been shrouded in an eerie tranquility.
Because of the Mechanicum's comprehensive campaign against the scavengers, the people had to cancel all outdoor activities for fear of being affected.
Fortunately, the video footage was posted on major news websites by the propaganda department on the second day after the start of the jihad, allowing the public to understand that the Mechanicum was not going crazy, but was cleaning up social garbage.
Therefore, the entire gray industry chain in Night City suffered a devastating blow.
After all, many gray industries in this city would not be able to function at all without the assistance of scavengers.
This situation naturally caused the major companies in Night City to suffer huge losses, but they chose to remain silent and did not express any opinions.
They had no way to intervene in this matter, and would not even admit that those who were involved with the Scavengers were their people, so they could only keep this grudge in secret.
Only the New American government, which represented Military Technology, expressed strong condemnation of the Mechanicus, of course, not on the Scavengers.
Rather, it was because the armed forces of the Mechanicus were too strong, and the armed forces of the Mechanicus had already exceeded the red line of force set by the New United States.
This brought huge military pressure to Military Technology, forcing them to strengthen their garrison forces in border areas.
Although Night City was completely independent of the New United States on the surface, everyone knew that
it was actually located in the encirclement within the New United States. If it were not for the Japanese troops stationed in the United States by Arasaka, the New United States could have conquered it at any time.
However, even powerful entities like the Arasaka Group and the European Community Organization did not dare to easily allow war weapons to land in Night City, so as not to touch the red line set by Military Technology.
Although the Mechanicus was not equipped with a variety of war weapons, the powerful personal force they possessed was more ferocious than war weapons.
Technical analysts of military technology even doubt that only one Mechanical Magus can easily defeat ten Chimeras.
Not only that, the Mechanicus also abused EMP (electromagnetic pulse) technology, which is also one of the most critical favorable evidences for the new United States to criticize the Mechanicus.
