Chapter 281 Dune! Legend of the Savior! The God Emperor!
"Dune"!
When Li Ang saw that the new dungeon was actually Dune, he was stunned for a moment, just like when he saw the "Halo" dungeon before, because this was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.
According to Li Ang's estimation, the next dungeon should be a sci-fi universe similar to "Star Wars", or go to "Three Body" to play a wave of creation.
Or go to "Transformers" and pick a Bumblebee luxury car for yourself to drive.
But if it is the "Dune" universe, then Li Ang still needs to spend some time and work hard for a while.
The good news is that the difficulty of the "Dune" dungeon is not high. At least from the paper strength, it is definitely much weaker than the Star Alliance in the "Halo" universe.
If you take down the "Dune" universe in a brutal way, it is basically a matter of hand-holding.
But the bad news is that if you use the existing system of the Universal Corporation to integrate this universe, it may be a bit troublesome.
Because the human system in Dune is different from that in other universes. Other universes are basically the Earth government and the United Government, but Dune is a feudal system + religious system!
In the eyes of the powerful and the lower class over there, only the legendary "savior" and "God Emperor" can become the ruler of mankind and lead mankind to a better future.
Obviously, in the worldview of humans in Dune, it is better to believe in destiny than to believe in oneself, and believe that a real destiny person can carry them.
And this means that if Leon wants to unify the Dune universe, he must become the only "God Emperor + Savior + Established Person".
Now, even if he doesn't want to be an emperor, he must prepare himself to be the emperor of mankind, otherwise people will not believe in the set of the Universal Corporation!
"Tsk... This really hurts me."
Leon shook his head and sighed. Originally, he just wanted to coexist with the humans in the Dune universe as an executive, but looking at this situation, he must become the great emperor.
After all, if the entry point of the Halo universe is to inherit the orthodox identity of the "recycler", then the entry point of the Dune universe is the orthodox identity of the "savior".
Thinking of this, Leon closed the system panel and walked to the French window on the upper floor of the headquarters alone, overlooking the whole picture of Night City. He began to recall the story in Dune.
Speaking of the story of Dune, it seems very long and distant at first glance, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, the core content and plot are just that.
It's even a bit "poor".
Roman Caesar + a bunch of noble ladies running around, with a few magical savior legends, and a stew of stories about the emperor's persecution and rebellion.
The opening of the Dune universe is the same as the classic human technology development to the interstellar era. When the baby grows up, he has to live outside, and when there are more humans, he has to go out to build colonies.
But just when humans in Dune developed the interstellar era, a very unpleasant thing happened, that is, the AI rebellion!
This AI rebellion has left a psychological shadow on the Dune humans. In line with the principle of solving the source of trouble in order to avoid trouble, they made a rather futile decision.
That is to abandon AI technology and develop another set of "computer technology"!
In this way, the humans of "Dune" have embarked on a crooked technology tree.
They relied on the "spice" found on the planet Arrakis to create a batch of "humanoid computers" specifically for the work of replacing AI and computers.
That's right, in order to avoid being backstabbed by AI, the humans in the "Halo" universe chose to make themselves "computers". Although this brain circuit is a bit novel, it's true...
They made it happen!
This group of humanoid computer people has an organization called "Mentat". These Mentat have strong mental abilities, computing abilities, and logical deduction abilities, and are like humanoid AI.
Of course, they occasionally do part-time assassination work, after all, more skills are better than less.
But to create humanoid AIs like Mentet, you need spices.
In the Dune universe, this spice is only produced on Arrakis, not anywhere else. It is the only one in the universe.
And the benefits of spices are numerous, such as improving human perception, developing superpowers, and prolonging life. In short, it is a must-have panacea for immortals.
Such a good thing will naturally be divided, occupied, and monopolized by the powerful families of humans.
Perhaps it is precisely because there is no AI or computer that the channels for the lower-level humans in the Dune universe to obtain information still rely on primitive "hearsay", and live like people in the Middle Ages.
They also believe in bizarre legends such as the savior.
And in such a background, Paul, who was born in the Atreides noble family, became the male number one at the beginning of Dune.
His father is a local lord, and his mother is a big boss in a famous socialite organization such as the Sisterhood. Paul is naturally handsome and capable.
Speaking of this sisterhood, the ultimate purpose of this organization is to create humans.
Yes, literally create humans!
This group of socialites engage in paid dating and arrange marriages with powerful families, just to combine the blood of the powerful and create a "savior".
This savior is not only the king of prophecy, who has the ability to predict the future, but also has a very high IQ. Wherever he goes, he is an awesome character with invincible luck. His name is also quite domineering, called - Quesatz Haderak.
Although I don’t know why the socialites of the sisterhood think they can give birth to the king of prophecy, this does not affect their day-to-day “delivery” and high-quality service quality.
In short, Paul was born with the efforts of his mother, Mrs. Jessica, who “put herself in the game”.
But it’s true that the members of the sisterhood who have received special training are different. Not only are they fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs, they are also quite scheming and have high IQ and EQ.
The male protagonist Paul, who has excellent genes, not only has a series of blood buffs, status buffs and other bonuses, but also has a handsome face.
The image of the savior must not be bad, so the handsome Paul has also been rumored to be the “savior”, and the rumor that he looks like a monarch has quietly spread.
Although I don’t know who is controlling this public opinion, Emperor Saddam saw that Paul’s family is powerful and wealthy, and there are rumors that he has a destiny.
This overwhelming power was so great that it almost kicked him off as the emperor, so Shaddam conspired and instigated the Harkonnen family to crush the Atreides family.
The Harkonnen family, who were already unhappy with the Atreides family, immediately became the black gloves when they heard about this good thing.
As a result, Paul and his mother, Lady Jessica, fled into the depths of the dunes because of their lack of business skills.
As the saying goes, if you don't cut the grass at the root, it will grow again in the spring breeze. Later, Paul relied on his savior status to pull up a powerful force and crushed the big bad guy Emperor Shaddam.
When Leon recalled this, the plot of the "Dune" universe seemed to be a very ordinary savior script, plus a bit of a cliché rebellion story with a bloodline theory.
But as his memory deepened, Leon recalled more relevant information. After all, the plot line of "Dune" is quite long, and the subsequent plot is even more amazing.
After overthrowing Emperor Shaddam, Paul became the new emperor of the galactic empire.
But the powerful families below did not agree.
Where did this little brat come from? It’s okay to kill the king, but he actually wants to usurp the throne and become the emperor? Have you asked our opinions? If you are handsome, you can become the emperor, then what is the use of the army!
Obviously, no matter which parallel universe the human powerful people are from, they don’t believe in the "savior" or "son of destiny".
The one with the strongest soldiers and horses is the king!
In the face of Paul's "savior" bloodline as a reason to become the emperor, in fact, most of the powerful families just treat it as a joke.
Who said that the bunch of stinky bitches in the sisterhood can give birth to the "savior" and "king of prophecy"? It’s okay for the public opinion trick to deceive ordinary people, but do you really want to use such a childish method to fool us? No way!
Oh! BYD, your mother, Lady Jessica, has diamonds inlaid on her body, and she can give birth to such a precious thing like you. You can become the emperor when you are born, but we are just mortals, right?
Shameless, I’ll kill you!
So a huge galactic holy war began. This war was so fierce that hundreds of billions of people died and hundreds of planets were destroyed.
At this time, Paul, who had awakened his foresight, was quite satisfied with his identity as an emperor, because he saw that he was the material for being an emperor through foresight.
This emperor's throne should be his, if these untouchables are not convinced, then fight!
In this way, for the legitimacy of his status and absolute control, Paul ingeniously created an interstellar empire that combined politics and religion, and was crowned as the Grand Pope.
'This script... Are you sure it's not from Caesar? You can only use Caesar's template, right! '
When thinking of this, Li Ang couldn't help but complain in his heart. After so many years, those foreigners still missed the former Roman Empire.
In short, Paul relied on tough means to unify the interstellar world and became the only God Emperor.
But after unifying the stars, Paul saw through prophecy that he would be assassinated. For this result, normal people would arrange precautions in advance to avoid being killed.
And Paul did so, but soon he found that these assassinations were endless. He had to guard against them every day, which had left him with a psychological shadow.
Faced with this situation, the former Qin Shihuang would say that it was a small problem and that he just needed to strengthen the guards.
But Paul felt that this was his fate, and fate could not be changed, just as he became the emperor according to the prophecy.
Obviously, this is the classic "self-realization" psychological suggestion.
During this period, the most unbelievable thing Paul did was to know through prophecy that his wife would die in childbirth.
In the face of this situation, normal people would either prepare for a difficult birth early or not give birth.
But Paul chose to witness his wife die in childbirth. In the choice of saving the older or the younger, he made the decision to save the younger.
This prophetic ability brought him the idea of reversing cause and effect, which also made later people extremely pious and believe in prophecies.
The ability that should have been used to avoid disaster and seek good fortune turned out to be a useless superpower.
Later, Paul was tired and passed the position to his sister, Arlia, and his son, Leto Atreides, and he went to the dunes to retire early.
However, Arlia was a strong woman with a strong desire for power. She was addicted to being an emperor and wanted to continue to be one, so she wanted to kill her own nephew.
For this unethical behavior of Wu Zetian, Leto ran to the dunes and merged with the sandworms inside, becoming a new generation of "God Emperor" with full power and wisdom!
At this time, the legendary savior predicted turned out to be Paul II - Leto Atreides.
At this moment, Li Ang's brows were frowning more and more. Such hindsight prophecies were probably just public opinion tricks played by the gang of sororities.
By driving up the price, you can embed yourself with gold, so that you can be confused into the powerful class and seize power. If you marry a girl from a sorority, you have a chance to create a "savior"!
In this way, Leto, who was full of buffs again, became the invincible God-Emperor like his father, embarked on the golden path, and unified the galaxy for three thousand years.
Of course, the story of "Dune" is not over yet.
Under the control of the sisterhood, the main messenger behind the scenes, the legend of the savior continues. These girls have come up with a method of "the emperor takes turns, and I will give birth next year".
Propaganda Leto has become a tyrant, and a new generation of saviors is coming!
At this time, Leto also saw that he was about to be assassinated and died through his so-called prophecy ability. Faced with this outcome, Leto, like his psychotic father, chose an extremely abstract approach——
That is to take the initiative to become a tyrant, forcing the rebels below to come and stab him to death, ending his God-Emperor dynasty and starting a new beginning.
Thinking of this, Li Ang had already deeply doubted whether the spice was a hallucinogen. After all, no normal person would have this kind of solution when facing an assassination.
Maybe the so-called prophetic ability is just a psychological suggestion used by the girls in the sorority.
After all, looking at the entire story of "Dune", the group that benefits the most happens to be the social butterflies in the sorority!
And this is indeed the case.
Since Leto was assassinated, the melee has started again. After you sing, our side appears, just when everyone is waiting for the legendary "savior" to appear.
But at this time, the people in the sisterhood simply stopped pretending. This time they didn't even give birth to a "savior" and directly introduced one.
They introduced a respected mother, Murbella, and a new savior, Shiana. It doesn't matter what the names of these two women are, the important thing is that they are all members of the sorority!
The two sisters weighed the pros and cons of all parties, appeased everyone, and said: "Everyone, please stop making trouble. From now on there will be no great emperor. Wouldn't it be beautiful if we were talking double-talk to make things worse?"
In this way, the entire plot line of "Dune" has come to an end. This extremely abstract plot has already filled up the buffs of various Western Madonnas.
‘A bunch of old ladies relied on their ancestral flesh and blood business to disintegrate the God Emperor’s galaxy empire, and they still engage in double-talk? This operation is invincible! ’
After recalling the entire plot of "Dune", Li Ang's brows had tightened. To be able to do this without a capital is simply a textbook-level operation.
Relying on the trick of having a "savior", he coaxed a bunch of powerful people to marry the girls from the sorority home one by one, just waiting to create a savior.
There is something about this operation!
After calming down, putting aside these slightly outrageous plot elements, the technological points in "Dune" are actually quite good.
For example, the Holtzmann super-light engine was created by using the interaction of subatomic particles, as well as the humanoid computer Mentate organization, and various magical creatures.
Rare items like spices can become best-selling commodities in the global trade circle!
