Skyship: Eye of the Thunderhammer
Inside the central control room, red lights flashed everywhere, and code scrolled across the screens like a waterfall.
"Program check, normal."
"Weapon code is running normally."
"Firewall, no intrusion records found."
All sorts of data were reported to the man in the blue uniform with a cold expression.
Of course, one of the noble Nine Gods would never personally drive his vehicle to defeat the general; such a thing was a trivial matter to him.
Having self-awareness represents a significant evolution for spirit machines, but this evolution doesn't always bring good results.
Without the evolution of self-awareness, there would be no concept of hierarchy.
Even the most advanced AI can split off subroutines to control a robot vacuum cleaner. But having a self changes things; their pride wouldn't allow them to do such errands for the general.
Therefore, although the Rain God among the Nine Gods has a subprogram in the Thunder Hammer's Eye, his main consciousness is not there.
The ones who conduct the daily patrols are the other spirit machines under the command of the Rain God, which are these blue figures with different faces but all with rational and cold expressions.
They all have bionic skin, allowing them to maintain a normal human appearance while handling their respective duties.
This arrangement is actually a waste of resources. All the mechanical workers can be replaced by Rain God's subroutines, but that is what distinguishes them from machines.
Now, the vice-captain appointed by the Rain God listened to his subordinate's report, and his cold and rational expression almost crumbled.
"You're telling me everything's normal? What about that high-energy focusing laser we just fired?" The vice-captain almost laughed in exasperation.
This was a rather rare experience for a spirit machine, but he didn't think it was anything to be happy about.
Having committed such a serious offense, he will directly face the Rain God's punishment.
"Although the probability is infinitely close to zero, since there are no signs of intrusion, there is only one possible outcome."
""
The weapons department personnel said, "That was an accidental discharge."
"Go to hell!"
The vice-captain couldn't help but pick up the communication terminal beside him and throw it over, saying, "Even we ourselves don't believe what you're saying, so do you think others will?"
The vice-captain's usually stern expression had completely crumbled, and he even started swearing.
If he's not mistaken, the news has already spread throughout Western Union.
For his superiors and others to be even a minute late in learning about the situation would be disrespectful to Western Union.
Sure enough, a blue badge with lightning bolt patterns lit up on the largest central screen.
The Rain God's consciousness took control of this aerial warship.
The data that was just reported flashed on the screen, and then a deep voice rang out.
"An accidental discharge, is this the result of the investigation?"
The vice-captain lowered his head and said, "Based on the data analysis, this should be the only possibility. Western Union Technology is the best in the world; no one can silently infiltrate the Eye of Thunderhammer without leaving any trace."
"There's no one here," said Rain God calmly. "They're from outside Western Union."
Upon hearing this, the vice-captain lowered his head even further and said, "Please give your instructions, Lord Rain God."
He knew, of course, that there were people inside Western Union as well.
For example, the Tribunal under the God of Man, an organization that uses the guise of purging faith to carry out secret espionage, has been secretly stealing technological data from the mechanical world. It is unknown whether they have developed any technologies to counter firewalls.
Although the probability is low, it is not impossible.
Sometimes, a small inspiration can lead to a giant leap forward in technology.
Even if we can't catch up with the technological level of spirit machines, it's still possible to create some kind of targeted product.
The deputy captain could certainly have thought of this, but sometimes it's not a bad thing to play dumb.
Having your boss fill in the gaps in your ideas demonstrates their wisdom and ability, and is more likely to satisfy them than doing everything yourself.
This is one of the important insights the deputy captain has gained over the years through absorbing human knowledge.
Otherwise, why would he have become the vice captain instead of someone else?
In terms of hardware, there are many spirit machines that are stronger than his, but there are very few spirit machines that are more humane than his.
As expected, after hearing this, the Rain God was overjoyed and temporarily set aside the vice-captain's mistake, allowing him to atone for it with merit.
"End the mission of promoting Douglas. The focus now should be on finding out how he infiltrated the Eye of Thunderhammer," Rain God said.
"Yes, sir." The vice-captain immediately accepted the order.
"Is this Chuck, the Rain God among the Nine Gods?"
On the other side, Bai Ze still stood openly in the damaged building, watching the Skyship that had stopped with great interest.
The vertical mark between his brows shimmered with a faint, strange light, revealing a powerful spiritual fluctuation.
A wealth of information came to Bai Ze's attention through the Great Heavenly Demon Eye.
"Truly a wondrous existence," Bai Ze said.
He also possesses a spirit weapon, which is the one he captured back then, Nanba Jiro.
However, Jiro Nanba's level was too low. Although he was a spirit machine that had developed self-awareness and even fused with the memories of a human, his body was not complete.
Nanba Sojiro is more like an artificial intelligence, existing in a computer, without his own body, unlike the rain god Chuck, who already has his own soul.
Those at the level of the Nine-Linked Gods have already condensed their own soul bodies by absorbing the power of faith.
When Rain God connected to the Skyship, his mental fluctuations also traveled here via the network.
...
...
The fluctuation was so conspicuous and so wondrous that it could be transmitted over the internet.
If the Rain God were willing, he could even directly transmit his own consciousness carrier, that is, his soul.
"Although this will create a weakness in the spirit weapon, it's insignificant compared to the gains it will bring," Bai Ze thought to himself.
What was originally just a piece of intelligent mechanical consciousness has now acquired a mental vessel, making it another target to be targeted.
However, at the same time, the spirit machines also involve the spiritual realm. If their "comprehension" is high enough, they may be able to comprehend the divine will.
Originally a materialistic machine, it has now touched upon the metaphysical realm of idealism, which is a sure win for the Nine Gods.
Perhaps in the future we will see machines suddenly become incredibly powerful through sheer willpower.
Moreover, these spirit machines, which condensed spiritual containers, were able to remotely transmit their consciousness through data transmission. It seemed that their spirits had become one with those segments of code.
"If that's the case, even if their souls are destroyed, as long as that piece of code representing their spiritual origin remains, they won't die."
Bai Ze watched the Rain God's mental fluctuations, dissecting the secrets of the Nine-Linked Gods step by step.
"If we could capture one of the Nine-Linked Gods, dissect it completely, and extract their original code, perhaps we could uncover the mysteries of the mind of the spirit machine."
Bai Ze harbored wicked intentions and pondered various ideas.
Today's actions, while helping the traveler was incidental, were primarily aimed at inciting conflict between the two currently opposing sides.
The Faceless Ones, loyal to the gods among men, will absolutely not let this opportunity slip by.
On the other hand, when Jiulian Shen discovers that they cannot find any trace of the intrusion, they will raise their vigilance and relentlessly pursue the non-existent "hacker".
The tech-savvy machines wouldn't tolerate such a powerful hacker.
Especially since this hacker is on the opposing side.
The two sides, already on the verge of conflict, are bound to clash more directly.
It wouldn't be impossible for Bai Ze to take advantage of the chaos and manage to capture one of the Nine-Linked Gods.
But before that... "The men of the Steel Hand are coming," the traveler warned.
Clad in heavy armor, the group, resembling small giants, slowly descended from the sky. The leader stepped forward, and a metallic voice rang out.
"Steel Hand Squad 17 has come to invite Mr. Creek to cooperate with the investigation."
He paused, then said, "His Excellency Rhein heard that Thor International had been attacked by terrorists and was very concerned about Mr. Creek's safety, so he specially sent us to protect him."
Creek was the traveler's real name.
The first sentence of the Iron Hand warrior's statement is official, while the second sentence indicates the orders received privately.
It is clear that the traveler and the side represented by the Rhine have a close relationship.
This is normal; Western Union is currently divided into two opposing factions, with two major interest groups vying for power.
No one can remain neutral, not even the giant corporations that hold significant influence within Western Union.
Anyone who dares to stand neutral will first have to endure the iron fists of both sides.
Only those who can withstand the iron fist and remain standing are qualified to remain neutral; those who cannot will become prey and be eaten first.
As things stand, Thor International is not qualified to remain neutral. Furthermore, given the animosity between the traveler and the general, he cannot remain neutral either.
The traveler immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency Rhine. I was just about to go and see that gentleman."
If you don't follow these people with the iron fist, you have to follow people from other departments.
He might get shot seven times in the back and be ruled a suicide.
Now, the various departments of Western Union have mostly taken their positions. The sheriff system and the Department of Homeland Security are now on the General's side.
The traveler, well-versed in the rules of Western Union, knew that if he went there, he might become a suspect instead of a victim.
Upon hearing this, the Iron Hand warrior tapped the portable terminal in his hand.
A streamlined near-ground aircraft descended from the sky and hovered slowly outside the building.
"Walk."
The traveler gave a greeting and then led Bai Ze into the aircraft, where they sat down inside the cabin as if they knew their way around.
The warriors with the steel hands then took to the air again in their armor, providing escort from the outside.
The aircraft quickly started up and flew out of the city. At the same time, a young man in military uniform took out a communication terminal and turned it on in front of the traveler.
A light screen is projected, and after a brief flicker, the scene on the other side is revealed.
The man was a middle-aged man sitting behind a desk, dressed in a suit and tie. His distinctly Western Union appearance gave Bai Ze a sense of familiarity.
Because this middle-aged man bore a resemblance to Rhine, the general, and Hoddle.
Clearly, this is another offspring of a god on earth.
The middle-aged man did not speak first. His gaze fell on the traveler, and then he glanced at Bai Ze sitting not far to the side.
In his eyes, Bai Ze was a Western Union man who wore an overcoat and had a distinct military air about him.
Even when viewed through the camera on the communication terminal, only the appearance and clothing set by Bai Ze can be seen, and even the images recorded on the terminal are the same.
Seeing this, the traveler said, "Jansen was one of my former subordinates; he is absolutely trustworthy."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and said, "Didn't you say that person would come today? Why isn't he here?"
"writer-
'
The traveler's gaze flickered for a moment, then he said with some regret, "It's a pity, my friend. Although the writer is young, he is no less cautious than you or I. He clearly promised to come, but what came was just a substitute."
"I don't know if he's come to Western Union now."
The traveler seemed to have completely forgotten about Bai Ze, even though he had met him before.
In his heart, the one who always stayed by his side was his old subordinate "Johnson," not some "Zhang San" from Dongxia.
As expected, they weren't exactly saints. Bai Ze glanced at the traveler, thinking, "Luckily, I'm not one either."
He had only met the traveler once or twice, and that was during an online meeting at Wanyizhiji, where the traveler never revealed his true identity.
To call this kind of relationship one of trust is a luxury.
Therefore, Bai Ze had already made his move on the traveler the moment they met.
The image of the middle-aged man that the traveler saw at that time was actually due to the effect of Bai Ze's methods.
Among those whose perceptions have been rewritten are travelers.
He was even the first one to be tampered with.
In retrospect, Bai Ze's preventative measures were very effective.
The traveler had already revealed his upcoming arrival to others; he and the Faceless Ones were originally in cahoots.
"Marcus Neos, a clone and offspring of the god of the human world, and at the same time..." Bai Ze looked at the young man who took out the communication terminal, leisurely extracted the other party's memories, and opened the box of the middle-aged man on the other side.
"So it was you, politician."
Another shareholder of Wan Yi Zhi Ji in Western Union is the twelfth son of the God of Man.
Sure enough, you have to be careful when dealing with these Western Union people, and you can't talk about any moral bottom line.
Bai Ze has never been a moral person, so even though he was a newcomer, he easily became friends with the Western Union people and even felt like a fish in water.
"Western Union is really good, no wonder it's the father of the Japanese." Bai Ze said.
He will treat the Westerners the same way he treats the Japanese.
Here, you don't need to feel restricted at all; you can let loose a little.
Marcus, unaware that he'd been outmaneuvered, was still speaking to the traveler with a serious expression: "What's this about the Eye of the Thunder Hammer? Why did the Rain God's chariot suddenly attack you?"
