[The possibility of curing cancer cells through artificial magic after they spread.]
[Research and possibility of replacing natural organs with artificial magic organs...]
…
In just a few books, the development direction of the Kingdom of Eden was summarized.
At first, they seemed to think that real flesh and blood bodies were the orthodox of the human world—
But perhaps in the fight against war or disease, they gradually came to believe that "flesh and blood are too fragile", so most of the research direction shifted to "mechanical limbs".
In the end, the books Yang Hao could see were almost all about mechanical research.
From simple mechanical prostheses to sophisticated mechanical internal organs, to refined bodies that are more efficient while also being able to fully enjoy delicious food and even have normal human sexual activities, as well as the dedicated combat bodies now known as "wartime control", the Eden people are moving higher and higher on the road of mechanical ascension, and they are becoming more and more dependent on the application of energy technology called "artificial magic".
Just as more than 90% of industries on Earth today rely on "electricity" to operate, artificial magic is the most basic "electricity" for the people of Eden.
They cannot live without electricity, and Yang Hao also plans to let the United Nations have a share if feasible.
After all, it is better to have electricity than no electricity. Only a fool would plan to "start from scratch" when there are mature technologies to borrow and develop now.
He had been thinking about reading a book to expand his mind before waiting for the queen to appear. But at this moment, Theresa's voice appeared in his mind.
This was the sound she made using her magic. Before Yang Hao could ask her what happened, the little nun stated first:
"I have used divine magic to inform the residents of the entire United Kingdom region about the "Floating Continent" and that we have handled it safely. You don't have to worry about the situation in the country now.
But Yang Hao, Hutot Khan and the Roman Empire are obviously very concerned about what is happening here. In addition to the Roman Empire being unable to send troops to investigate, the Khan and the Isgard Colonial Army are vaguely planning to send people north. They haven't even dealt with the living dead in front of them... So what should we do?"
Yang Hao thought for a while, and after ignoring Theresa's angry words "Don't even think about a peaceful solution now that it's like this", he kept silent and made his own arrangements in his mind: let part of the army ensure the safety of the southern passage of the ranch.
On the one hand, if the Khan and Isgard's army wanted to go north to investigate, they would have to pass through that passage. On the other hand, Yang Hao also wanted to show his attitude.
If you want to come over to investigate, you can - but you cannot send troops over. Instead, you must politely ask for our consent.
Because Miss Black Dragon had already come up, they could satisfy some of their curiosity just by waiting for Miss Black Dragon to transmit information. As for Khan, Yang Hao needed to strongly dissuade him.
As for the Roman Empire
I heard that now that even the diocese is being invaded by the living dead, does the Roman Empire really have the energy to pay attention to the north? Impossible.
Yang Hao nodded slightly, and Teresa, who was far away in Constantinople, just said "I will do it" after learning about Yang Hao's idea.
She hung up the call. At this moment, accompanied by the sound of crisp footsteps, the Queen of Eden came over, surrounded by the Eden people.
She was a girl with white hair and red eyes. Yang Hao subconsciously admired the artificial beauty of the other person in his heart, but he soon noticed the "inharmonious" feeling coming from her.
Compared to the Eden Magic Doll that still has some human aura, this girl gives people the feeling of being a complete machine.
A perfect face, and walking etiquette that is so precise and perfect that it is simply impossible for humans to achieve.
The distance between her feet was consistent with each step she took, but more importantly, there was not a trace of human emotion in the look in her eyes when she looked at herself. It was more like a computer camera performing facial recognition verification, full of the meaning of "scrutiny" and "efficiency".
This is an individual that is completely different from the Eden Magic Doll - Yang Hao came to such a conclusion, sitting upright, watching the girl sitting on the table opposite him with perfect and elegant posture.
"Thank you. Your arrival has brought great morale and help to the last citizens of Eden."
The girl expressed her gratitude to Yang Hao in a unique way - although it seemed that she had no intention of expressing gratitude and her voice sounded cold like a machine, she stated it in a formulaic way as if she was expressing objective gratitude.
"Confused. You seem to be very curious about me? But before you deal with the demon, Eden is not able to answer the confusion in your heart."
“I understand. My name is Yang Hao, so could you tell me your name first?”
"My apologies. I am the "Synthetic Doll Elena". I am the de facto manager of Eden today. Please forgive my previous impoliteness. But this is my first time participating in a diplomatic event."
"No need to apologize. Instead, can I ask a question?"
The synthetic doll nodded and just looked at Yang Hao.
She noticed Yang Hao's curiosity about her, but more importantly, she judged that Yang Hao's curiosity about her might be learned from books and databases... Is it the "sexual desire" or "possessiveness" that men have for beautiful females
If a normal female were to realize this, she would probably look "disgusted"
But Elena was more concerned about what kind of help she could get for Eden if she just handed over her body.
The synthetic doll evaluated whether Yang Hao's value was equal to or exceeded his own.
Due to the lack of intelligence, Elena could only start from the fact that the army was able to deal with the demon army with ease.
She judged that the country called "United Nations" should occupy a pivotal and important position in the continent of Elucia. Relatively speaking, the only trading items that can be called top-notch in Eden are probably the three core items of "artificial body", "artificial magic power" and "magic network".
One's own body is not valuable in front of the three core commodities. If one trades one's own body, perhaps Eden can get out of the current predicament, and those seeds can also provide support for the revival of Eden in a relatively stable environment... But, is this really a good idea
Elena frowned. Insufficient intelligence could lead to misjudgment, so there was no need for her to make a decision now... Should she wait for the other party's progress before making a decision
Just as the synthetic doll had already planned more than ten responses to Yang Hao's questions in his mind, and how to "raise his price" in the negotiation route - Yang Hao's curious question finally came out:
"Ms. Elena, may I ask you... is this a case of a life with self-awareness being born from a machine, rather than a life born from the combination of humans?"
Yang Hao's question not only stunned the Eden people, but even the elves around him showed extremely helpless expressions.
The elf reached out and twisted Yang Hao's side hard. The black dragon tilted its head with an incomprehensible look, and Elena also couldn't understand why Yang Hao would ask such a question under such circumstances.
So she could only tilt her head and gave this answer in confusion:
"Confused... Can't understand?"
"Please think of this as my curiosity. After all, I am really curious, are you really a life born from a machine? Your attitude and behavior are completely different from any natural life, which makes me feel that there is something abnormal about you."
Yang Hao responded with a smile.
"All your actions are more like those of a cold 'machine' than a human being - this is not an opinion I have about you, I am just asking about a possibility.
If this possibility is confirmed, perhaps some individuals called "Golems" or "Golems" in our country can also give birth to their own personalities like you. To be frank, this is a very important issue for our country. "
"Surprised. So, those are golems?"
"Yes. What's the problem?"
Yang Hao knew that what surprised Elena were the machine gun golems and howitzer golems on the battlefield at that time, so he directly confirmed their identities.
In the face of Yang Hao's affirmation, Elena simply gave an extremely weird answer:
"Shocked. There are still survivors of the former subsidiary race of the Kingdom of Eden? Judging from the pressure of the fallen block at that time, it should be impossible for there to be survivors. But... is that really a subsidiary race we created at that time, and not a new creature on the continent of Elucia?"
"Are you talking about Golem?"
"Denied. I mean, the Listen people."
As soon as Elena said this, the smile on Yang Hao's face froze.
He thought that Elena was referring to the golems! She was referring to the fact that in addition to "synthetic dolls" like Elena, there were also golems that were equally intelligent on the floating continent!
But he didn't expect that Elena changed the subject and pointed out Nalujia, a member of the Ling tribe? !
And then again... the subsidiary races you created at that time? Wait...
Has your technology advanced to the point where you can "customize" people who are good at doing certain things
Everyone on Yang Hao's side was silent.
Elena also looked at Yang Hao silently.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Yang Hao said, "Let's put this matter aside for now."
Anyway, Elena has just confirmed in her own way that she is indeed a mechanical life form, so now, let's talk about business.
He drank a sip of water, and Elena imitated his movements, learning the etiquette of the ground in her own way. Then, Yang Hao took a deep breath and said:
"Let's talk about demons. But before that, we may have to share our intelligence. Considering the urgency of the situation, I think it is most appropriate for Eden to provide intelligence first."
"I agree. But I have a question: Are there no more demons on the surface?"
"In the north, I heard that there is an ice disaster active, causing the northern ice fields to move with its activities. In addition, there is a country in the south that is in the midst of a civil war and there are suspected high-level demons active. These are the only signs of demons we know of now."
"Question... Can we determine that the surface of the earth is currently in a period of war?"
"You can think so. But within our United Nations, everything is very peaceful."
"learn."
After ensuring the safety of the surface, Elena relaxed - although she still acted indifferent, from the focus of her questions, Yang Hao could still feel that her mood was getting better little by little.
How amazing... Is this a mechanical statement? On the surface, it looks cold and impersonal, but if you look closely, you can still feel the cuteness of the mechanical statement.
Yang Hao felt a little embarrassed about his current state of mind. After getting the information he wanted, Elena introduced everything about the Kingdom of Eden to Yang Hao in an efficient way.
Yang Hao listened very seriously. Far away in the Roman Empire, the impact of the advent of the "Floating Continent" was becoming more and more serious.
The people in the old church of the parish believed that this was another display of the "divine power" of the God of Light. They believed that this was the end of the world. Until now, everyone has been kneeling and kowtowing towards the place where the continent fell, begging the God of Light to be kind enough to give them the power to live.
The situation of the new religion is not much better than that of the old religion. On the one hand, the witch came forward to prove that the continent was not a "divine punishment" but a simple "vision", and on the other hand, the saint had more doubts about the God of Light.
If Saint Cecilia once blindly followed the God of Light and believed that the God of Light wanted "believers to choose the most suitable mortal path" and therefore made her and Patriarch Peter fight each other, then Cecilia's faith would have been cracked by the manual in her hand.
She was doubting that the "God" mentioned in the manual that she firmly believed in was not actually referring to the God of Light, so what kind of existence was she believing in
She was wondering, if the God of Light was really the good god of the Township of Light as described in the scriptures, why would he allow his followers to burn, kill and loot at will
She was wondering, if the God of Light really cared about his believers, why would he let them starve instead of showing his divine power to help them through the difficult times
If the God of Light was really "the God" she believed in, why would he behave so badly
The once fanatical believer had cracks in her heart. She suddenly realized a problem:
Why was she allowed to move freely after becoming a "saint"? She was even allowed to stay in seclusion underground
If the "Saint" really exists only to provide pure faith, how can she use powerful divine arts without any believers
Cecilia silently looked down at the manual in her hand.
She couldn't understand it, but that didn't stop her from finding the problem.
Right beside her, the Witch of the Night leaned over and looked at the people below who were anxiously starting to work again, as well as the group of living dead separated by the cliffs and earth slopes in the distance:
"Fortunately, we dug the ground in advance and cut a path between the Protestant-controlled area and the south on the physical level with cliffs. The three-meter-high cliff is an insurmountable trench for the living dead. In this way, we can wait for them to die on their own before making any plans."
"Well… "
"Cecilia?"
"I just find it very strange." Cecilia shook her head blankly. "The actions of the God of Light are completely different from what I know from the manual."
"After all, your manual is the oldest version. The God of Light might not have become a god at that time. He just used the manual of a similar god."
"Then where does the divine power I use come from?"
Cecilia slowly summoned divine power in her hands. Looking at the silver-white light, the Witch of the Night just shook her head and said, "In short, this is not the power of the God of Light."
"So, have I given all my faith of more than 20 years to a robber?"
The Saint's bewilderment only made the Night Witch smile bitterly: "But it's better to wake up now than to give your faith to a robber for the next forty or fifty years. Don't run away like me, Cecilia."
"Uh..." She sighed deeply.
At the same time, in the capital of the Roman Empire.
Corruption and depravity gradually reached their peak after the appearance of the floating continent.
Chapter 5: Roman's despair, three questions and the artificial magic reactor 8K
April 7th, if for ordinary Romani people, the usual days were just ordinary and difficult times after war and famine.
Then when they saw a huge land falling from the sky, passing through the forest in the north and finally falling into the ocean in the west, everyone was stunned by the appearance of this huge monster. Under the guidance of some people, rumors called "Doomsday Prophecy" began to spread throughout the Roman Empire at an incredible speed in combination with the current situation of the living dead.
The people of Isgard swore that they had not done it - because they were still busy resisting the aggressive horde of undead and had no energy to waste precious human resources on spreading rumors in other parts of the Roman Empire, especially in heavily guarded areas.
Hutot Khan's army was also confused: after they followed the Great Khan southward, they had not yet realized why there were millions of fearless peasant soldiers in Roman territory blocking them, and they had not yet recovered from the shock brought by the continent that fell from the sky. They naturally could not spread rumors, after all, they still remembered to take down a foothold to rest.
Then, these rumors could only have been made up by the Romans themselves - considering that the Romans' public sentiment is extremely unstable now, General Dreshuka tentatively judged that they must have been made up by believers in the God of Light from nowhere
"But don't those idiots know that we still have a chance to defend our homeland?!"
But even if he made the judgment, General Dreshuka still felt extremely angry.
He slammed the stone table so hard that spider-web-like cracks appeared on it. He was so angry that his eyebrows began to twist, but in the end, looking at the containers around him that stored important information, he couldn't just smash them or sit there. In the end, he could only stand up angrily, smoking a cigarette and pacing back and forth in the room thinking about countermeasures.
General Dreshuka is not a qualified politician, but as a soldier and a general, he is very aware of the importance of "discipline" to a region, and he is even more aware that "control" over the people is the key to ensuring the smooth progress of the war.
Right now, the important thing is not to figure out who is spreading the rumors.
What is important is how to deal with this rumor and then do everything possible to calm the local people down.
At least give them hope of working, instead of becoming fucking beasts who want to have sex with every woman they see before the end of the world!
After much deliberation, General Dreshuka concluded that severe punishment was inevitable under such special conditions.
