Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 364 Core Completed

After hearing the ending of the Arcane Empire, Xuan Yuan Muze couldn't help but sigh, "Even the Arcane Empire couldn't do it, but Agred accomplished it. Does that mean he rose to power and overthrew their rule right under the noses of the gods? It's unimaginable. What kind of story did he have along the way?"

Gulasga then suggested, “If you are interested, you might as well ask His Majesty yourself; he is never stingy in sharing the past with others.”

Xuanyuan Muze nodded in agreement, then asked, "Then I'd like to ask one last question: Is there really no future for a civilization that develops artificial intelligence?"

Brickqin then explained, "It can't be said that way. Being infinitely close to zero doesn't mean it is zero. It's just that, based on the experience of the 8,763 civilizations that were destroyed because of this, the chances of survival are indeed very slim. But this is not a definitive conclusion. If you really enjoy the sense of accomplishment of creating life, you can take a gamble. Bet that you are unique, bet that you are special. In fact, many civilizations have tried to research the mechanical race with this mindset. Even with all kinds of blockades from the gods, they still can't stop some people from seeking their own death."

While some individuals in this world may be exceptional, please believe me that the group as a whole is never exceptional, because the more macroscopic the perspective, the smaller the differences become; this has always been the case in this world.

So I still want to remind you that even if you choose a development path that is very "benevolent" and "selfless" in its technological approach, like "I want to create a race better than me to replace me and develop with my will," there is no need to choose the machine race, which is a low-class species that is easy to maintain but difficult to start. You can choose an animal race in nature, develop their intelligence, and then replace yours. There is no need to do something that causes trouble for everyone.

I don't need to elaborate on the dangers of the Machine Race. This self-destructive technological development has harmed both themselves and other civilizations. I truly don't understand what those civilizations are after. But we won't stop them; after all, passion can't be suppressed. All I can say is, good luck to them all.

At this point, Gulasga interrupted, "Alright, guest, we've said enough. This experiment is over. Let's continue to show you our most perfect work."

Xuanyuan Muze, bewildered, asked, "Wait, what's going on? Did you bring me here to talk about all this as an experiment? Or... did you bring me here for the purpose of an experiment? Explain yourself clearly. What exactly are you doing, and why did you bring me from Earth to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races?"

Faced with this series of questions, Gulasga only vaguely replied, "I can't explain the details of this experiment to you. If you want to know everything, go to His Majesty. He will explain everything to you. But before that, please witness with us the limits of technology and the birth of a god."

The two stood up and gestured for him to follow. Xuan Yuan Mu Ze then stood up and followed their directions, as he was also very curious about what exactly the "Technological God Core" that these scholars kept talking about was.

So, led by the two scholars, Xuanyuan Muze arrived at the core laboratory of the God of Technology that he had been longing for. In the center of the laboratory, a huge stone pillar was suspended on it, and the scholars were observing and making microscopic modifications to the stone pillar through the blue light screen and the surrounding instruments.

Looking at the huge stone pillar in front of him, Xuanyuan Muze asked in confusion, "This black stone pillar is the core of the God of Technology? It's too rudimentary. I thought it would be a spectacular science fiction device."

Brick explained, "This pillar was made from stellar material extracted from a neutron star. Don't let its unassuming appearance fool you; its mass and density are quite high. Converted to your home unit, the stellar material weighs about 100 million tons per cubic centimeter. This 'pillar,' which is about four cubic meters in size, is enough to affect the trajectory of the planet beneath our feet and even tear us to pieces. Moreover, after our secondary processing, the mass of this core is still considerable even on a cosmic scale."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Mu Ze asked in surprise, "If it's really that heavy, how did you get it here? And why weren't we affected?"

Brickqin pointed to the blue light screen surrounding the pillar and said, "These stellar materials were extracted from the neutron star using a lot of complicated methods, which I won't go into detail about. You can see that we set up an isolation field around the pillar to cancel out its gravity and prevent it from affecting us. At the same time, because this pillar is constantly emitting high-energy rays, an energy-capturing field was also set up on the light screen to use this energy to maintain the operation of the isolation field. Only after a stable environment is achieved can the core float there safely. Otherwise, everyone on this planet would be burned to death instantly by the massive amount of radiation it emits without any protective measures."

Xuanyuan Muze pointed at the stone pillar and exclaimed with lingering fear, "You mean this stone pillar, taken alone, is a weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying a planet?"

Brickqin shrugged noncommittally and said, "You could say that, but no one would use it to hit someone. It's not a weapon, but a key material for creating the core of the Tech God."

Then Xuanyuan Muze asked again, "Is the core of the God of Technology completed yet?"

At this moment, Gulasga chimed in, "It's quite a coincidence. We had been hesitant and unable to get to the bottom of the final step, but while you and His Majesty were out chatting, our work finally made progress. We have conquered the final step in completing it. You see, those scholars are also perfecting the final process of the core of the God of Technology. In just three minutes, we will be able to show you its power."

Upon hearing Gulasga's reply, Xuanyuan Muze suddenly recalled his previous conversation with Agreed. It seemed that the reason these scholars were unable to take this final step was because Agreed was hindering them. For some reason, the emperor of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Races did not seem to want them to complete this technological god core.

"Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet what exactly the core of this Tech God is, or what its functions are?"

Gulasga then explained, "He can do anything science can do. We will put an energy shell on this star and use micro-programming to imprint functions inside it. You can think of it as us turning our universe into a computer, and the core of the God of Technology is the central processing unit (CPU) we create. As soon as the core of the God of Technology receives our instructions, it will immediately translate them and feed them back to the entire universe, using all the resources of the universe to complete the instructions we give as much as possible."

In other words, as long as your commands don't exceed the capabilities of this universe, the Technological God Core can help you realize any idea you propose.
