"Jessica, how long can you keep these two ladies together?"
Jenkins asked Jessica again, who thought about it:
"If there is no fighting, the state of the two of them appearing at the same time can last for half an hour. If it is only one person, then they can be active for at least two hours. But even if I just mobilize any trace of spirit to do things, this time will be shortened to five minutes or less."
Jessica replied that it was not only related to the total amount of her own spirit, but also related to her mental state. But now she is only a zero-level gifter, and Jenkins believes that this time will become longer as she becomes stronger.
"Afterwards, you can try, if they also become the bestowers, can the accumulated spirits be superimposed on you, even if only a part of the superposition is good. Most of the bestowers' spirits belong to the soul, and your souls are one, say Not sure…”
He nodded and let the three ladies figure it out for themselves.
Bending down to pick up an orange from the table, she was about to get some fruit for her dishonest cat, when Jessica asked again:
"So what are you going to do with these two bodies when they don't show up?"
Although it was not an easy task for Jenkins to make these two bodies, the consumption was not huge. He wanted to propose that it be burned directly when not in use, but he also considered that it was exactly the same as Jessica's body:
"Then it's up to you to keep it. I will make two coffins that can continuously provide vitality to ensure that the body without a soul will not rot. It's very simple. I used a tulip seed to do a similar thing the other day. ,but… "
He hesitated, but pointed out the problem anyway:
"But in this way, you need to periodically let two souls enter the body to solve the... physical problem, otherwise it will probably..."
"I understand, there is no need to continue."
Jessica stopped Jenkins with a blushing face.
Bringing the two Windsors from the possible world to the real world, on the one hand, to let them help Jessica and Jenkins to complete the work of becoming king, on the one hand, because of Dark Souls, but more importantly, for the third Information about the Difference Engine in the hands of Queen Windsor of this world.
Coming from a strange place to reality did not cause her to suffer from key symptoms of amnesia, and all her memories were integrated with her soul.
However, there is still a lack of news about the Rebel Ritual. It seems that the possibility world does not have the biggest contradiction of Jenkins. The Difference Machine has never considered relying on this very ancient and particularly evil ritual from the beginning to the end.
Regarding the difference engine, Miss Windsor provided more detailed information. After the Difference Engine revived her body with the mechanical heart, Miss Windsor got rid of the control by relying on her own understanding of the world, even backlashed the Difference Engine, and controlled it to a certain extent.
From this, she learned about the origin of the Difference Engine, most of its experiences, and its stories.
"It's similar to the machine in the real world you mentioned. In my 'world', its purpose is to rely on the cataclysm at the end of the era to completely upgrade itself into a beast of disaster, and use it to achieve immortality. Annihilation. Although I didn't use the 'rebel ritual' you mentioned, replacing my own energy with steam and gathering smoke to cover the whole world are all plans that have been successfully implemented in my world."
Miss Windsor introduced.
"So before you left, did it complete the upgrade?"
"finished."
Miss Windsor nodded, and Jenkins stopped feeding the cat, and stuffed the last piece of orange into his mouth. Chocolate immediately wanted to get up from Jenkins's lap, and was pressed down by his hand:
"What? Finished?"
"Yes, it was completed last winter. When you arrived at Nolan, it had already left Nolan temporarily at my request. It will return on the final day, leading the disaster to destroy everything. I can only understand it to a certain extent. I can control it from above, and I can't intervene in the core instructions."
Miss Windsor said regretfully, which means that the possibility she is in must be the end of a catastrophe befalling the material world in the future.
"So how strong is the difference engine? I mean the beast of disaster-the difference engine."
"Since you like to call it the difference engine, then I shall call it that too. It is very strong, and the demigod me you see is just an ant that can be crushed to death, maybe this metaphor is a bit clichéd, But the fact is this. I can't quantify the power into numbers to tell you the specific value, but mortals are absolutely no hindrance to the beast of disaster."
Jenkins nodded when he heard the words, let out a breath and asked again:
"In a world without the ritual of rebels, how does it upgrade itself? There should always be specific measures."
"Similar to this world, there is a process of extending mechanical tentacles from the ground to the whole world. But after its own energy source was completely replaced by a steam engine, it did not plan the weird ritual you mentioned, but threw mechanical creations on the ground, And let more and more people accept mechanical transformation, be controlled by it, and transport a steady stream of wood and coal to the ground."
"Wait a minute, please? So, after completing the steam transformation, the Difference Engine lost its original energy advantage? Does it need energy?"
Originally feeding on information, it is a very high-end way of obtaining energy.
"Yes, it's in keeping with the apocalyptic theme."
"Okay, I see... and then, what does it do with that energy?"
"Energy allows it to have more computing power to understand the world and to complete a more refined transformation of its own structure. At the same time, the burning coal and trees produce gray fog, and tentacles stick out of the ground and turn into huge chimneys to release them. The smog shrouded little by little. When it reached a certain point, the gray fog covered the sun, and the material world could no longer face the sun. At that moment, it completed its own upgrading and strengthening, and turned into a disaster in a way I don't understand. The beast of evil.
It looks like it's working on its own modification, but I think releasing smoke into the world to modify the environment should be the point? "
Miss Windsor said uncertainly, and Jenkins nodded, almost understanding the whole process.
"In this case, after replacing its own energy system. Energy is its weakness, at least before it becomes a beast of disaster, energy is very restrictive to it. There are many things that can be done in this regard..."
Jenkins thought for a moment, then asked again:
"Then does it have any other weaknesses?"
"Have you seen its full body?"
Miss Windsor did not answer but asked instead, Jenkins immediately shook his head:
"never seen it."
"I have seen it before. It is a terrifying sphere suspended in a large underground cavity, like a huge black hole in the night. It is not a perfect sphere, but similar. Its complete body, even bigger than Nolan, lies underground There are terrible and regular metal friction sounds in the cavity day and night, like the howling of a devil. The metal chains are like dancing tentacles, constantly bombarding the side wall of the huge underground cavity, and at the same time transporting the falling debris Into the glowing hearth of the spherical body, forge more metal.
Smoke and dust filled that space, and scattered evil spirits howled ferociously as it operated. You can't imagine the scene..."
She closed her eyes and covered her forehead, and Jenkins immediately grabbed her hand, helping her calm the restless spirit and the spirit that had just appeared in the body. Just remembering the body of the difference engine can turn ordinary people into benefactors. This is the power of the beast of disaster.
Of course, it also has something to do with Miss Windsor being a demigod.
"Are you okay?"
She has the same face as Jessica. At this time, Jenkins and Jessica have confirmed their relationship with each other. Looking at that face, he subconsciously showed more concern than a friend.
"fine."
Miss Windsor shook her head and smiled at Jenkins with her lips pursed. Only then did Jenkins pay attention to Jessica, and found that she was contemplating what she had just said, and did not show any disgust at the excessive closeness of the two.
"It has a very obvious weakness. This is a design defect left by its designer at the beginning of the design in order to prevent mechanical rebellion. It is related to its structure and function. Even if it is known, it cannot be detected through technical means. Remodeled."
As she spoke, she picked up a pen and drew a pattern resembling a blooming rose on the handkerchief:
"On the core of its body, there is such a hollow pattern. As long as it is hit hard against this pattern, it will immediately fall into a state of paralysis and suspended animation for at least 50 years. The strength of the heavy blow does not need to be very strong. A normal model of steam A bomb goes off and that's it."
Jenkins took the handkerchief and carefully remembered the pattern in his heart:
"On the core of the ontology?"
"Yes, although the difference engine cannot modify the defects based on its own basic structure, it has made itself larger in countless years. This is not only to increase computing power and functions for itself, but also to Played the role of protecting the original ontology. I call its original ontology 'ontology core'."
[A4-type arithmetic auxiliary external machine] It has been said that the core of the difference engine is likely to be underground. If Jenkins wants to defeat the opponent through this defect, he can only go deep underground for a decisive battle.
He now has a drop of divinity, but there is no guarantee that it will be able to support him until he finds the core hidden deep in the ground. But this weekend, there is a high probability that another drop of divinity will be harvested, and then Jenkins will choose to go underground for a decisive battle.
"You seem to have made some important decision."
Jessica said suddenly.
"No, I'm just a little lost in thought."
Jenkins shook his head, Jessica looked at him suspiciously, but did not continue to ask.
