Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

"...'scholar'?" Lu Dai subconsciously repeated this embarrassing word, but his heart was filled with panic.

"Senior brother is different from us. He is not interested in the forgotten mathematical sciences. What he focuses on is psychology...the psychology of skeleton people." After talking about it, Wolfe no longer concealed it and seemed to be seducing. Recalling his memories, "Everyone laughed at him at that time. Even if you want to study the logic of the skeleton machine, you should look for it from the program. How can it be put into such a superficial form? What's more, after all, do those iron boxes contain anything related to them?" Who can really be sure about the similar thinking of our creatures?”

"Unexpectedly, he really succeeded."

"To be precise, the reason why Skeleton Man can have thoughts and emotions is not based on any of our existing technical paths. The cornerstone of the intelligent building... is natural language." Wolf said, "It's just because of this natural language "Natural" is for their users, and the ancients who used them no longer exist in this world, so even if future generations decipher some characters, they will only regard them as mysterious and difficult codes. "

Therefore, even in the Second Empire, production technology has not been completely lost, and it can only rely on factories to produce semi-intelligent machines such as steel spiders or hive drones.

And they can no longer create their own kind of skeletons, causing their numbers to continue to disappear.

"But, senior brother...he, the scholar, interpreted and restored the language itself." Wolfe was a little moved. "I don't know the specific work. It's just because at the end of the world, I didn't stay away from him like others. "

"An old saying is the key."

"Teacher, wait..." Lu Dai came back to his senses and looked at him in surprise: "You are saying that the real function of this language is not to interpret ancient books, but to understand the operating logic of the Skeleton Man's intelligence—— But doesn’t this mean we can tamper with their thinking?”

Free will is a noble word, but as long as you have actually lived in the real world, you will know that there are countless ways in this society that can change and influence a person's thinking.

From education and beliefs that change the spirit to illnesses and drugs that directly affect the body, the so-called soul is as malleable as clay.

The only exception is those skeletons whose bodies are made of steel. It is recognized by the world that the thinking of skeletons can be changed, provided that they adjust and choose which part of their memory to retain. Once it is firmly engraved on the chip, even time cannot Destroy them until the limit is exceeded.

Therefore, skeleton men can be the most skilled craftsmen, the most diligent farmers... and the most loyal and fearless soldiers.

But now, Lu Dai heard a way to pry open this solid barrier.

Just a language?

"Yes, of course, this must be combined with other methods. It is not as simple as brainwashing ordinary people - after all, we have practiced and summed up too many methods for the latter in history." Wolfe said, "However, Because he is the only one who studies the so-called 'Skeleton Psychology', and he is the only one who knows how to use it before it is published publicly."

"Unfortunately, just before publication, he was expelled from the end of the world."

Cervant only shared the words he interpreted with Wolfe, but did not touch on the truly most valuable part - of course, even if it was only the former, it would be considered quite valuable.

Even part of the grammar was only figured out by Wolfe after he came to the Depression Lagoon. From this, he learned that there was another person in the world, an unknown person, who also mastered this language.

Only then will he be surprised and heavy.

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Scholar..." Lu Meng leaned back in his chair and tapped his fingers on the table. A soft sound echoed in the air, "Maybe... I do have some insights."

It was on the edge of Revengeland.

When he met the first whistleblower.

Zero two.

'If you do this, the scholar will not let you go...'

The bone man used an encrypted language taught by scholars. Xiao Huo was also present at the time, but he couldn't understand it at all.

However, Lu Meng answered fluently.

Because at that time,

They speak Chinese.

The whistleblower was transformed by the scholar.

The Whistleblower model is inherently private, because it directly serves the ancients. Perhaps among all intelligent machines, it is the last group that can understand the lost natural language.

Even if their memories have been deleted, the built-in bottom layer still retains the trigger program.

So when Lu Meng confronted the whistleblower who was looking for flesh and blood to be reborn, he was finally able to briefly control his behavior for a moment.

Just speaking it out has such great power. If it were replaced by a scholar who is proficient in "Skeleton Psychology"... it would not be impossible to completely reset and replace the thinking of a Whistleblower.

The whistler's body is already filled with biochemical flesh and blood, and he recognizes himself as "human". No wonder Zero Two thinks that he has become a human.

But these things...

Should I tell others?

"You know?" After listening to Lu Meng's words, Wolff sat up from his seat in shock, but he quickly realized that he had lost his temper, so he leaned on the table and asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, how did you know about me? News from senior brother?”

After he said his senior brother's name, Servant, and the other party didn't respond, Wolfe actually had no hope.

The reason why "scholars" mention the pronunciation of ancient languages ​​is just to try their luck and make sure nothing is missed.

This title was just a joke between Cervant and him in private. In the worst case scenario, they might be the only two people in the world who know about it.

"Answer me a question first." Lu Meng observed Wolfe's expression. The mechanic's face showed concern for his old friend, but more... it contained fear, "Your senior brother, he was because of What did you get fired from as a mechanic?"

Lu Dai also reacted: Yes, for making such an epoch-making discovery, even if Cervant is more difficult to get along with than the teacher, he will not be expelled.

A machinist having more quirks will not detract from his research itself. Even after he becomes famous, these small details will become a topic that everyone talks about, as another proof that genius is always extraordinary.

Lu Dai initially thought that Cervante's achievements were only in the ancient language, and it was still partial. After all, none of the existing ancient books was entirely written in it, and strictly speaking, it had no practical interpretation value.

But after the teacher's explanation, she realized that this was not the case at all.　　　　Looking at the road dream.

Wolf felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but in the end he held it back.

He sighed to himself.

This question that he always deliberately avoided would eventually come.

If you don't even say this, it seems impossible to win the other party's trust.

"It was the eve of applying for the Iyo Award..." Wolf glanced at Lu Dai. He had never mentioned it even to his disciple in the past, "I helped my senior brother organize the materials, which are those that have been interpreted Although the written work was only the most basic work, it was more than enough to win that year’s Iyo Award.”

It was on that occasion that Wolfe learned this lost writing.

At that time, Cervant also proposed to jointly sign with Wolfe and share the glory of the Iyo Award, as a reward for the other party not alienating himself and being willing to be friends with him.

Wolfe sternly refused. He naturally wanted to make commendable achievements himself, rather than take advantage of others.

He only met Cervant because he admired his senior brother's talent.

Cervant smiled and said that this was in line with the character of his junior brother. Young people should be energetic.

Wolff didn't answer, but instead asked the other party why he didn't hand in the research results of "Skeleton Psychology" together. That was a truly era-defining discovery.

Moreover, Cervant was ridiculed and suppressed by academic resources just because of his research on the so-called skeletal psychology. Now he is proud to submit an interpretation of ancient texts, but from the outside, he does not know the connection between the two and only thinks that they are two completely different things. Realm, on the contrary, made Cervant seem to have abandoned the dark and turned to the light and finally succeeded.

The fight back is less forceful.

"At that time, he said that truly precious things come last. When he squeezes out a little bit every year like toothpaste, he might be able to win several Iyo Awards in the future..." Wolf recalled, with a smile on his face. A smile couldn't help but appear, "I didn't think he was joking. Just imagine a mechanic who has been alone in isolation for so many years without being recognized, and finally gained power - how about shaking it all out and slapping his face clean at once? Of course. It’s satisfying to arouse all the opponents and win them over again and again.”

Lu Dai on the side nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, obviously listening and taking in the scene.

It was as if she herself was the frustrated senior brother Servante.

But with this apprentice’s pursuit, he can only dream of graduating from the machinist university at the end of the world with glory, and coming back to make the female doctor envious, jealous and hate this step...

"However, your results were not handed over." Lu Meng had been silent before, but now he spoke, hitting the nail on the head.

Lu Dai made a meal like pecking rice.

"Well... to be precise, the information we prepared was sent up, but when the Iyo Award was announced, there was no senior brother's name on it." Wolfe said slowly, "Later, I found out that those reports had never arrived at all. It’s in the hands of the review committee, but it’s handed over to the top.”

"Cervant, missed it."

"How could this be possible..." Lu Dai murmured. She could imagine the loss in her heart if such a thing happened to her.

Lu Meng was still observing Wolfe's expression and found that there was no regret on his face at this moment. Instead, he calmly picked up the water glass and took a sip.

Sure enough, the mechanic spoke next: "Because, just the day before the Iyo Prize was announced, the Supreme Council of the End of the World sent people to investigate and understand the situation. By the way, they invited senior brothers to visit the hidden room. It is said by outsiders that it stores two cores. one of the places.”

"But senior brother killed them all and took away a large amount of confidential information, including an inscribed blade that had been collected for eight hundred years..."

"Then he fled overnight and disappeared."

"Really...eh?"

Ludai was stunned.

Wasn't the atmosphere just now a shady story about an unsuccessful young scholar who finally became proud but suffered academic suppression?

Why did you turn to martial arts?

And being able to fight his way out of the mechanic's headquarters... what kind of superman is this?

"My senior brother is very strong and can devote himself to martial arts in addition to research... That's why I say he is a genius." Wolfe looked at his disciple with some confusion, "Why, didn't I mention it before?"

Not at all!

Lu Dai didn't want to say anything anymore.

"There are also problems with the Mechanic Headquarters, but now it seems that Senior Brother has known this for a long time - he knows what the research results of this ancient script mean to those people in the upper echelons, and they will never publish it publicly, but will bribe and contact them privately..." Wolfe continued slowly, "But he took advantage of this."

"Now that I think about it, if my name was signed on the submitted materials, I would also become the target of surveillance, and there would be no chance to come to the Lagoon Station like today."

The Mechanic smiled.

"I don't know whether I should thank him."

Savant did take the initiative to propose, but because he knew the character of this junior brother, he knew that the other party would definitely refuse.

This seemed natural.

From another perspective, this made him who participated together never suspect anything.

By the time Wolfe knew about it, everything had been settled.
