"But now it is not the past. Human beings have mastered power, and there is no need to change their own structure. Therefore, you can sleep quietly. This era belongs to the people of this era, and there is no need for wandering spirits from the past to dictate."
Hearing what Jenkins said, the man showed a regretful expression on his face, and slowly disappeared into the air.
"Is this the only method you have?"
Jenkins asked the huge monster through the connected mental power, as if in response to his question, the metal tentacles dancing wildly under the night sky finally changed.
The top of the tentacles was originally spraying gray mist, but at this moment, chains of gears sprang out from the small holes at the top. These chains shot in all directions, hooking up with the chains sprayed out by other tentacles.
In the blink of an eye, a large metal net linked by brass chains covered Nolan's sky. The transmission of spirits has become more convenient, and at the same time, the lines of the chains are also outlining a larger ritual matrix.
Jenkins saw the light and shadow of Mr. Gilbert's flaming rapier when he slashed, and saw the golden divine magic luster trying to cut through the metal grid. But these are all useless, this net imprisoned the space, greatly enhancing the power of the metal creation in this space.
The boundless darkness seemed to come from the ground. Even though the two full moons in the sky were still high above, no one could guarantee what would happen next.
Another phantom appeared in front of Jenkins, this time a woman with glasses, bare feet and priestly robes, with a half crescent moon on her chest:
"According to my research, even if humans evolve for tens of thousands of years, their physical fitness will not be able to surpass most of the alien species at the same time. Even if humans can expel the alien species from the material world, leaving only humans in the world, human beings rely on flesh and blood , and it is impossible to realize the development of the whole world. Therefore, transforming the flesh into other substances is the best choice. Compared with transforming flesh and blood into light, four elements, etc., transforming into metals with the same materiality is the best choice .”
"So when you did your research, did you ever think that human beings can rely on wisdom to develop the same civilization as the alien races that rely on physical strength?"
The woman looked at Jenkins regretfully, shook her head, and disappeared before his eyes.
At this moment, Jenkins finally figured out what the weird mental power was just now. During the time when the Difference Engine was discovered and used countless times, there should be quite a few humans who agreed with it and were willing to help it.
Although Jenkins does not agree with its point of view, he also agrees that the point of view of the difference engine is very attractive. And those human beings who believe in the difference engine and are willing to help it realize the goal of mechanizing the whole world cannot break through the 999-year-old lifespan of the material world.
The spiritual power of the dead supporters was collected by the Difference Engine and continued to assist it in achieving its goals. Parts of it are shown before Jenkins' eyes, in an attempt to pollute Jenkins' thoughts with these past human thoughts.
It should be said that such an idea is very creative, allowing people from the past to convince the modern "stubborn" Jenkins. But if the difference machine wants to make him change his mind by relying on this, it would be too easy to think.
The wildly dancing tentacles caused the brass gear and metal mesh covering the sky to shake, and the expansion of the spirit led to a new round of gray mist erosion. Cracks have already appeared on the flat ground of "Nolan", as if there is some huge monster trying to rush out of the ground in one breath and show it in front of people.
The twenty-four demigods helped Jenkins suppress the power of those tentacles very well, allowing him to deal with the core part of the giant metal monster wholeheartedly.
With the support of the difference engine, the metal tentacles entwined with the vines moved again. They are deeply attached to the thick vines, as if they want to rub each other into the lines with black aura on their surface.
Jenkins thought that the current situation was completely controllable, so he didn't panic, but continued to use his own spirit to touch the broken soul. As long as he wins the spiritual battle, he can take the opportunity to control this huge metal monster.
The old man under the roof couldn't see this, so he was a little anxious, and kept taking out all kinds of strange things from the pocket of the woolen sweater that Jenkins was familiar with, as if he was preparing for something.
There wasn't any fog near him, not even the noxious gas that those tentacles were spreading around. It was the cat on the top of the head that protected Dad, and Chocolate was still very sensible. It saw that Jenkins had the upper hand at this time, so it was not in a hurry at all. It just wanted to recharge its energy and show its strength when the core of the difference engine came out.
As the spirit got closer, a third illusory figure appeared in front of Jenkins. This figure is actually an elf, but an old elf. It looks similar to the old elf who was about to die naturally a few months ago, and his life is about to come to an end.
"The body has limits after all. Even the longevity race will eventually reach the limit of life one day. The flesh and blood are poor and weak, and they cannot withstand the erosion of time after all. Even if they have almost infinite vitality, the corruption of the body will happen sooner or later. "
This is true, just like even if Jenkins pours infinite vitality into a big tree, it can't make it live forever, it will only let it go through the ups and downs of the years and then come to the end in a short period of time.
"Life" itself has the meaning of beginning and end. Jenkins personally told the master his views on the natural cycle of life and death in the flowery land, so the power of nature cannot achieve the true meaning of life. eternal life.
"But machinery can live forever. If it is broken, it will be replaced, and the low-level one will be upgraded. This is the beauty of machinery. Flesh and blood will eventually have an end, but machinery will last forever."
The translucent old elf stands high in the sky, black smoke and gray fog are rolled up by the surrounding cyclone, and the strong wind sweeps everything in the tricky world. reason.
"Since machines are eternal, why is it just a phantom in front of me now, not a robot?"
Jenkins asked amusedly while manipulating the spirit to fight against the underground giant.
"At that time, the technology of Great Wisdom was immature, but it is mature now. Has the technology of the gear man defeated by you before reached the point of almost immortality?"
Even if the gear man just kept a small gear, it can be said that the individual still exists, and it can be transformed and reorganized with metal nearby. It can indeed be said to be almost immortal. This kind of immortal thing is already a real weird thing.
