章 240: Chapter 240: The Weapon with a Mind of Its Own
It was hard to believe, as the energy level of this weapon itself was already on par with that of a weapon.
But Dock actually believed that it was a weapon that acted on the level of thought.
However, if you thought about it carefully, it made sense, as the weakness of the Olive Branch Civilization's life was in their thoughts. Their bodies were made of a completely unknown substance, which was incredibly strong.
This substance had been studied by the former Federation, but to no avail. It did not belong to the natural world and was clearly a creation of the Olive Branch Civilization.
Dock then conducted an experiment, sending a spaceship with artificial intelligence into the area covered by the thin veil. The veil gently tapped the spaceship, and it instantly lost power. Its surface was not damaged, but it had shut down.
After about an hour, they observed that the spaceship had reactivated, which was a good opportunity to refute Dock's theory. However, the spaceship fired its weapons in their direction. Fortunately, the spaceship itself did not carry any powerful weapon systems, so there was no significant loss.
Finally, the spaceship flew towards the core of the veil and the direction of Star City. Obviously, it was being controlled.
"Perhaps your conservative ideas have blinded you."
"If the weapon is purely a flow of information, then what if this flow of information itself is a life?"
Dock's crazy statement shocked the federal officials and scholars on the Silk Road.
Is this something a human brain can imagine?
Is the weapon itself a life?
Yes, no one could refute this conclusion because no one knew exactly what it was. Although Dock's conclusion was absurd, it was at least a conclusion, while they couldn't come up with any conclusion at all.
After that, Dock said, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe in my judgment right now, I will conduct the experiment soon."
"You should also be clear that the weapon can control battleships, which also means it can control the lives of the Olive Branch Civilization. After all, they are all mechanical bodies. Although they don't have emotions like living beings, they are still mechanical life forms."
"I'd rather call this weapon a 'format weapon'. I'm sure you all have some understanding of mechanical equipment. When the content of the machine goes wrong, you can 'format' it."
"The weapons of the Olive Branch Civilization are the same, and they even have an extra step. Yes, 'formatting' is actually not up to standard. The more accurate term should be 'flashing weapon'."
"Clear the original system and flash in a new one. Isn't that familiar?"
Dock smiled charmingly, and his words made the federal officials and scholars feel a chill down their spines.
If Star City is "flashed" into an enemy, it also means that they will once again face the threat of Star City.
Although the current Federation is no longer the same as it was in the beginning, the gap between the two civilizations still exists. The war on the side of the Silk Civilization has not been decided, and if Star City also becomes their enemy, they will become what the Silk Civilization feared.
"How do we determine the way the weapon works and then solve it?" asked the official.
This is the most pressing issue at the moment.
Dock thought for a moment and said, "The simplest way is for one of you here to personally experience the power of this weapon."
After he said this, all the federal officials and scholars present tensed up.
But he wasn't finished speaking.
"Among you here, I think the most suitable person is none other than myself."
"So I'll go."
???
Everyone looked at him in disbelief, hoping to see a "this is a joke" expression on his face, but there was none.
"You must have also thought of this. If something happens to Star City, it could mean the decline of the entire Federation. Even if the Federation can hold on, the death toll will be in the hundreds of billions."
"Compared to that, what does it matter to lose a scholar who is not highly ranked?"
He said this without any hesitation, and even with a smile on his face.
However, the other officials and scholars felt ashamed.
Even though the Federation has been established for so long, those who are truly willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good are still a minority, especially for these high-ranking officials and scholars. They still have a long way to go, and they cherish their lives even more.
So they never thought of sacrificing themselves. Instead, they hoped that some soldiers or citizens, these minor characters, would make the sacrifice. Even if the number is large, it is still acceptable.
They considered themselves to be of high value and should not die easily.
However, Dock was not satisfied with this idea, so he was a bit of a loner in the Federation. Later, he continued his research on the Silk Road in space.
Dock is a man of action.
So, about a year later, he began to approach the blowing energy veil.
To ensure his safety, he equipped himself with some devices that were related to consciousness. These devices could constantly stimulate the consciousness of living beings, keeping them awake. He also applied for permission to remove his secondary brain and the quark robots inside his body to prevent being controlled by consciousness.
During this time, he also constantly trained his mental power. In fact, he himself was a fourth-level mental power master, which gave him a slight advantage in this mental battle.
Of course, it was only a slight advantage.
After all, if the weapon was indeed a huge cluster of consciousness, no matter how strong an individual's consciousness was, it would be very insignificant under such a terrifying cluster of consciousness.
At the same time, Dock chose a tail as the contact point, which was the end of the veil.
Soon he activated his sequence, which did not rely on a spaceship, and headed towards the predetermined location.
His sequence looked like a worm with two heads wearing black armor. It was a protein-rich worm called the "Hibernation," and it had the ability to hypnotize life forms on a large scale.
Dock arrived at the predetermined location and then plunged into it.
Instantly, a terrifying consciousness rushed into his mind, crushing his original consciousness into a pancake. In an instant, it took control of his body and began to pull his body towards Star City.
Dock left a will, and all the devices he carried were set to activate at a specific time, not manually.
10 seconds later, the device activated, allowing him to briefly escape from the consciousness control. He tried to escape, but he underestimated the power of this consciousness. The time the device bought him was less than 3 seconds, and he was deprived again.
This time, the control was even stronger, accompanied by a more rigid consciousness constantly impacting his original consciousness.
That consciousness gradually overwhelmed him.
He only heard one voice echoing in his ear.
"Gais... Glory..."
