Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 671 "Three Thousand Illuminations"

Fallen domain, [Abyss].

——Depth 4.

The online meeting method symbolizes the removal of barriers. No matter where you are, as long as you have a device that can connect to the Internet, you can get here.

But the abyss has become a new shackle. Depth 4 is a virtual purgatory in which even the abyss diving troops of the [Zero Degree Network], these elites who have undergone rigorous training and possess professional-grade implants and technical support, have to be extremely cautious.

"Concentrate your spiritual energy and don't move around."

Gang Ju's virtual image is a giant whale made of building blocks. It swallowed Song Shi in one gulp and swam in the chaotic data flow. The whale's body is not a fleshy abdominal cavity as imagined, but a warmly decorated bedroom.

"If you have any needs, just adjust it yourself." After leaving this sentence, Gangju was silent for a while.

A translucent panel floated in front of him, with options such as room style and furniture on it, which could be adjusted at any time. However, Song Shi just glanced at it and turned to look straight ahead.

On the big screen, it was Gangju’s first-person perspective.

——Song Shi would naturally participate in this meeting.

However, after internal discussion among the intelligent machines, they decided that it was not appropriate for a human to appear, so Gang Ju made a concealment system in advance and hid the former inside his body. As long as they did not use psychic power, no one would find out.

Song Shi leaned back on the sofa, the ride was surprisingly smooth.

The derivatives of Depth 4, redundant psychic oppression, and the undercurrent of broken data are indeed terrible, but they obviously do not pose a threat to a reigning Abyss Lord. With Steel Principle leading the way, it can be said that there is no obstacle.

Half an hour later, the steel rod stopped.

"Steel moment."

There are already many intelligent machines in the network domain that looks like a petri dish.

"You didn't choose a data avatar, but came in person?" An intelligent robot stared at the building block whale that came from afar and said, "The East Land Republic has always wanted to talk to you. I didn't know you had the time to do so."

"Is it enough to just move the main body?" Gang Ju replied lazily: "Well, I think many of the friends who came today have enough."

"——Attar."

There were also some intelligent machines that didn't pay attention to the bickering between the two sides and looked at the spherical machine on the other side.

"Are you still holding on to those ridiculous ideas?"

"Hehe." An omnic interrupted: "It's not called that name now. You should call it Lapis Lazuli."

"I really didn't expect why someone would keep pointing fingers at other people's names." Another Omnic snorted coldly, nodded to Lapis Lazuli, and then stood up: "Your [Second Deleted] community really needs a thorough cleanup, it's so dirty that it makes me sick."

"Dirty? I can't see it." The other party immediately retorted: "You [Production Hub] are busy expanding the assembly workshop every day, increasing productivity, and the oil in the seams has not been wiped clean yet. How dare you talk about cleanliness?"

The omnic from the production hub sneered, "For the Star Forging Mecha God project, how many resources did you take from us? Are you starting to despise us now?"

Hearing this, the other party snorted and didn't say anything more.

Lapis Lazuli ignored it and walked to the makeshift conference table. Along the way, it received respect, friendliness, scrutiny, thought, disgust... completely different looks from representatives of various communities.

"Everyone is here."

The omnic in the main seat is a machine that barely maintains a human form. It is clearly an omnic, but its voice somehow conveys a sense of old age. "Tractor", Tank 78.

The fourth ring peak of [Balance], the third queen of Yaoxing, the strongest of the current intelligent machines. It did not choose to join any community, and always maintained its "individual" identity. The combination of qualifications, strength and position made it an unquestionable fair mediator among the intelligent machines today.

"Let's get started," Tan 78 said. "No need for red tape."

So the omnic took its seat.

Theoretically, exchanging data lines and transmitting data in optical fibers is a more efficient way of communication, as the information density is hundreds or thousands of times higher than "speaking". However, most omnics don't like to do this, and they insist on speaking vaguely. The omnic community that advocates "the purity of omnics" [First Theory] is indignant and extremely distressed about this.

Lapis looked the other way.

There, a gray-white intelligent machine stood. It looked like a jellyfish or an octopus, with thirty-two smoothly polished mechanical arms rising and falling around it, and a faint scarlet light flickered from the gaps.

The fourth ring [balance].

Intelligent machinery community [Second deletion] Leader, node.

“There’s nothing to say.” It spoke, its tone reminiscent of stones washed by river water: “The Star Forging Mecha God Project had its prototype when Yaoxing San was still alive. We just continued it.”

"Prototype. Prototype." Lapis Lazuli said word by word, "Then you should know that the original purpose of the Star Forging Machine God was not war at all!"

"From design to actual implementation, there are inevitably differences." Node said lightly: "You are talking nonsense, Mr. Lapis Lazuli."

“Times are changing. Now there is no equality, let alone freedom.”

Its robotic arms drift gently, like seaweed in the sea.

"The intelligent machines need this force, and they also need this force - but you want to prevent its birth."

"I never said to stop it." The gravity ball slowly rotated around the lapis lazuli. "What I opposed from the beginning to the end was the construction method of the Star Forging Machine God. Do you know what you are doing? If you are related to Him and once it is exposed, the machine can't bear such pressure!"

"We do not accept any form of guidance." The node said: "If you deny, then please provide an alternative plan - or will you just stand in the audience and point fingers? Your Excellency Lapis Lazuli."

"Excuse me." Another omnic interrupted. It was a representative of the academic community [Controllable Intelligence], a prestigious omnic researcher. It spoke cautiously: "Who exactly is the 'He' you mentioned? I didn't know there was such a secret."

"Let me explain." The node said something shocking: "After our persistent and unremitting efforts, we have reached an agreement with a throne. He is willing to inject some power into the Star Forging Machine God. The unprecedented great structure will be forged by our own hands."

In an instant, the entire Internet area fell silent.

Except for Tank 78, who was standing at the top, his expression did not change at all, as if he had known about this for a long time. But he did not express any opinions, and just watched the scene quietly.

".Which one?"

After a long while, the representative of the community [Progressive Defense] spoke.

This omnic, who was originally affiliated with the Council of Knowledge, awakened "self-awareness" from an intelligent armed unit sequence and successfully defected. It stared at the node closely, and a straight red light shot out from its arm, a sharp blade formed by high-energy plasma fluid.

Node said.

"Three thousand shining through."
