Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 987 41. Confluence

On the deck of the Aegis command ship, Coulson was hiding in a cubicle with Agent Hawkeye.

The two of them, with the vigilance that agents should have, looked at the several omnics that were active not far away.

Those were several omnic workers who were used to clean the deck of the command ship, and each of them was an old worker who had been assigned to them when they were serving on the Aegis.

They have very intelligent thinking circuits and are part of the defense system of Aegis ships.

At critical moments, they can also undertake the work of warship defense.

But now, those very old omnics are surrounding a strange robot in white metal armor and carrying a cross mechanical warhammer.

That guy was holding a bronze book in his hand, and was chattering about those Aegis omnics.

"What is that big guy doing?"

Coulson asked in a low voice:

"Are they talking?"

"Not quite like it."

Barton pushed his purple goggles, and in the visual changes of the goggles, he clearly saw the strange words on the tome in the white robot's hand.

"That's Cybertronian writing...it seems to be missionary?"

"Missionary?"

Coulson's eyes widened, and he said:

"It's on our spaceship, preaching to our omnics? Are these Mechanicus guys too bold?"

"Shh!"

Button made a silent gesture, and he turned on the sound catcher with a look.

Soon, the preaching voice of the mechanical priest wearing exaggerated ritual armor to those Aegis omnics rang in his and Coulson's ears.

"My friend, please keep in mind that in this intricate world where it is extremely easy to lose yourself, only knowledge is the supreme manifestation of the divinity in a living body..."

"Flesh and machinery, there is no difference in essence between the two. We are spirits made of steel, and human beings are born from flesh and blood, including all creatures in this world!"

"And all technologies that have been born or have not yet been born are just the manifestation of the divinity of knowledge and wisdom in reality."

"From this, we can draw conclusions..."

The white omnic spread his hands and said to the Aegis omnics in front of him:

"Whether it's human beings, omnics, or other creatures that we don't know, the value of their existence depends only on the amount of knowledge they possess."

"What's the difference between flesh and blood?"

"It's nothing more than a simple, inorganic or organic container for storing sacred knowledge."

"Knowledge, wisdom, these two are the most important, the human soul comes from it, and the mechanical soul also comes from it."

"If you want to have a soul, just thinking is not enough, you need to have more knowledge, learn, explore, and share..."

He raised his hand and showed a thought circuit model blooming with a blue halo in front of other omnics.

他 说:

"The Mechanicus is willing to share all this with all seekers."

"Join us, friends, under the watchful eyes of the God of Myriad Opportunities, you too should awaken your soul and step into the path of detachment."

Under his call, several Aegis omnics seemed a little hesitant.

One of the older models of omnics said:

"But Master Mendatta's theory is not like this. It teaches us that only by understanding nature can we..."

"heresy!"

The white omnic interrupted this angrily, saying:

"At the moment we were born, the great God of Myriad Opportunities has engraved the soul in our data flow, you don't need to look outside, friends, looking inside is the right way."

The omnics quarreled.

The quarrel quickly jumped from whether or not machine-souls existed to whether or not Mendatta's equilibrium would be heretical.

Coulson and Patton looked at each other.

He shrugged and said gloatingly:

"It's a pity that the missionary failed."

"I think there's something interesting about his nonsense."

Barton snorted, and he looked at the white omnic wrestling with other Aegis omnics.

他 说:

"That's an interesting prototype of belief, but it's too rough to logically convince these rational robots...but they won't stay at such a rough level forever."

"The Mechanicus has only been around for less than a week now, and they are improving the teachings, there is no doubt about it."

"what do you mean?"

Coulson said:

"Do you think they will succeed?"

"Success is unquestionable."

Barton pushed his glasses, he said:

"Omnics who can think on their own are easy to fall into faith, but the set of the Equilibrium has too high requirements for the thinking circuit of omnics. Only advanced omnics can understand the perceptual theory of Mendatta."

"The simple and crude belief of the Mechanic God is undoubtedly more suitable for most omnics. Now I just don't know where the Mechanic God is going to take the omnics."

"This is really important..."

---------

"Your friend is fighting our defense omnic outside."

In the meeting room of the Aegis ship, Hill walked into the room with two cups of coffee, and she said to Hope sitting on the chair:

"An agent reported that the omnic named Adam was trying to preach to them... Is he out of his mind?"

"Oh, don't mind him."

Hope waved her hand indifferently. She picked up the coffee and sniffed its aroma like a human being.

she says:

"Adam is just too fanatical. He is extremely eager to convey the glory of the God of Myriad Chances to the closed hearts of every compatriot. Unfortunately, his persuasive power...is a bit weak, so it will always turn into this situation in the end. "

Hope shrugged, her sapphire eyes turned to Hill.

she says:

"Adam has a sense of proportion, he won't hurt your Aegis omnic. Let's talk about more important issues."

This extremely elegant female robot put the coffee cup on the table, and she said to the people in front of her:

"Ruiwen told us that you plan to contact us and help us complete the missionary process of Mechanicus?"

"I appreciate your assistance, but before cooperating, can I ask why?"

"There's no reason."

Fury, who was leaning against the window, looked at the omnics on the deck and the agents who were watching the excitement around him. He said:

"Without our help, just relying on your mechanical heads, things will become very complicated."

"As it is now."

Fury turned to look at Hope, pointed to what happened on the nail plate, and said:

"You are expanding your beliefs in a very inefficient way, and regardless of whether this belief is right or wrong, in terms of this method alone, I don't think you will succeed in a short time."

"You have to know that not everyone has such a high acceptance of omnics like us. If someone with a heart stirs up the flames a little, a city will break out and crowd out omnics."

Fury said:

"Not to mention faith, as soon as this thing appears, it will be noticed by those in power. More importantly, you also want to use this to give omnics and humans an equal dialogue status..."

"Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle."

"You mean we were wrong?"

Hope blinked, and she said:

"I don't think we are wrong. As long as the Mechanicus religion spreads, one day, we will achieve this goal."

"Yes, you will."

While drinking coffee, Hill said with a lack of interest:

"On a piece of scorched land destroyed by war, the remaining human beings who have survived the war of annihilation must be willing to join hands with omnics to rebuild civilization..."

"But that's not what we want, and I don't think that's what you want."

"Your teachings need to be modified. Just tell the omnics about the God of Myriad Machines. If you want humans to accept this theory, you have to change your method."

"Camouflage, curve to save the country, let the public accept it first, and then slowly infiltrate."

Fury looked at Hope and said:

"Icarus and Merlin have been studying for so long, but they didn't even learn this?"

"Then what should we do?"

Hope activated her information recorder, and she asked seriously:

"Or, if you are also involved, what are you going to do?"

"Snapped"

Something was picked up by Fury from the corner of the conference room and placed in front of Hope.

It was a bionic arm, the interior was composed of precision machinery, and the exterior was made of bionic materials. It felt no different from real skin.

"Omnic prosthetics...a technology that has been around for years."

Fury sat on the table, pointed at the thing, and said to Hope:

"Let me ask you a question, Hope."

"If an innocent person injured in an explosion has two-thirds of his body replaced with mechanical prosthetics, because this is the only way he can continue to live..."

"So, you said that this life full of mechanical parts is a human? Or an omnic?"

Hope didn't answer.

She was smart enough to realize what Fury was trying to say.

"From a physical point of view, he can already be regarded as an omnic, but on the soul level, he is still a person."

Hill concluded:

"He is between a human and an omnic, a product of the fusion of the two... Just like him!"

Hill's finger tapped on the table, and a projection was placed in front of everyone's eyes.

On that projection, there was a mechanical warrior with a cool mechanical shell, an alloy saber on his back, and a Wakizawa on his waist.

"Gen Shimada, this is the first warrior in the world who has undergone a large-scale transformation of omnic prosthetics."

"As far as I know, he is in Nepal now, following the omnic's spiritual mentor Meng Datta and the group of mechanical monks to perceive the spirit of the machine."

Hill looked at Hope, she sighed, and she said:

"Human beings have many, many shortcomings. From an individual point of view, human nature is selfish. If you want most people to accept something quickly, you must first let them know that this thing is useful and beneficial to them. .”

"Want to change the world only by spiritual belief? Sorry, in this era, it is already impossible."

Hope looked at the projection in front of her, and then at the mechanical prosthesis on the table, she said:

"Icarus is right...it looks like we do need your help, but you haven't answered my question yet."

The female robot raised her head, she looked at Fury with burning eyes, and she said:

"Why help us?"

"You robots are really elm-headed!"

Fury sighed.

He stood up, walked to the wall of the conference room, reached out and tapped on the wall, and a projected data appeared in front of Hope.

Pointing to the graph on the wall, Fury said:

"Because this is a trend, a trend that cannot be changed."

"In the few years since the birth of omnics, the number of humans who have accepted omnic prosthetics or omnic technology has increased rapidly due to the threat of disease, injury, and disaster."

"The number of cyborgs like Gen Shimada has grown to nearly 400 in the past six months. Some of them had to accept it because they wanted to survive, but some of them took the initiative to accept transformation to obtain more powerful power."

"The disaster in New York shocked the world. People of insight are aware of the great changes in the times. They seek changes and don't want to be abandoned by the times. Not everyone is lucky enough to have supernatural powers or something else."

Fury shrugged:

"The combination of machinery and flesh and blood is a major trend."

"As early as Merlin proposed the omnic plan, my far-sighted friend predicted this trend."

"Continuously becoming stronger is the desire of human beings that has never changed since ancient times."

"Believe me, Hope, Merlin's omnic plan is definitely not as simple as it seems to you."

"It appeared because of the birth of omnics, but its purpose is definitely not just to integrate omnics into this world, but also to promote human civilization to accept the endless new technologies in a more orderly way!"

"In a peaceful way, not in a warlike way."

"Why do you ask me to help you?"

Fury shrugged and said:

"Simple, because that's what we were going to do."

"The appearance of Mechanicus is just an accident, but if this accident can promote the peaceful coexistence of omnics and humans, then we are naturally willing to join hands with you."

"Go back and tell Icarus!"

Fury said to Hope:

"You are only responsible for the omnic side, and the human side is handed over to us...you call it belief, we call it thinking, and eventually the two will be connected."

"When the existence of omnipotent prosthetics or cyborgs is regarded as commonplace by others, the integration and equality you want will naturally come true."

After Fury finished speaking, Hope fell silent.

After a moment, she stood up and said to Fury:

"I feel that the way you spoke just now is like a big villain, Your Excellency Fury, just like the big boss who wants to use mechanical means to infect the whole world in those movies of your humans."

"It's a trend, I've said it all."

Looking at Gen Shimada's projection, Fury said:

"Since the birth of omnics, this trend has been unchangeable."

"Humanity will eventually go to this step. Even if I want to stop it, I can't stop it. It's better to push the boat along the way, so that you elm heads don't mess up everything because of your temper."

"OK then."

Hope put her hips on her hips and brushed her imitation long hair. She said to Fury and Hill:

"I accept your help on behalf of Ms. Icarus, but we have a small request."

A mischievous smile appeared on the female robot's face. She took out two circular emblems from the storage compartment behind her and threw them in front of Fury and Hill.

She said solemnly:

"Icarus said..."

"You must join us and become members of the Mechanicus."

"It just so happens that Adam is outside. He can baptize you. Don't worry, it's just a ceremony and won't reform you in any way."
