Chapter 1093 1 Murphy: Only children can make choices! - Extra [1315]
(Extra for "Old Luther Blues" brother [3/5])
The Pharaoh's welcome banquet was scheduled in the evening, and his official birthday banquet was three days later, so there was enough time for players to explore Ptolemy's City.
For a big city with five million people, three days was only enough for them to take a quick tour and barely complete the first stage of the exploration branch issued by Mrs. Tracy. But if they wanted to go deep into the plot to find some hidden rewards, they had to wait until the free exploration stage after the birthday banquet.
Moreover, given the size and planning of Ptolemy's City, if players were allowed to go out on their own, there was a high probability that several would go missing.
Given the poor ability of modern people to identify directions, even with the instructions of the game UI, they might not be able to accurately find the gathering point in an unfamiliar place. Fortunately, the diplomats of the Songhai Empire were well prepared for this.
They arranged some local nobles to act as guides for the players, leading these brave foreigners and legendary godslayers to move freely in the royal city. As mentioned before, the basic consumption of the players here is paid by the Songhai Empire.
Of course, it is only basic consumption. If a player suddenly wants to buy some expensive luxury goods, he can only pay for it out of his own pocket.
Although the Pharaoh is rich, he is not a sucker. Although the players are honored guests, they should also be respectful of guests.
However, the activity trajectory of the players is actually very predictable. After the disbandment, Murphy observed through the administrator system and found that most of the players were wandering in the forging area of Ptolemy Royal City, trying to "refresh" some magic weapons from the equipment merchants. Unfortunately, there are indeed many miracle creations in the Songhai Empire, but each one is expensive, far beyond the current players.
The most important thing is that for these top players, even if the "bottom of the box" treasures taken out by those equipment merchants are indeed of extraordinary quality, it is still a bit difficult to say that they can surpass the goods they have on hand.
After all, there aren't so many randomly refreshed artifacts in the real world, and the native adventurers who only have one life won't chase after legendary items as crazily as the players.
However, these are not what Murphy needs to worry about right now. The exotic style of Ptolemy's Royal City is enough to "hard control" the little players for a few days. After returning to the palace where he lived, he hardly stayed there. After changing his clothes, he went to the Morhan Palace under the palace mountain with Murphy and Adele.
He already knew that the big guys had exchanged for ten Shahai Guards power armors, and Murphy came to "inspect the goods".
"The scholars from other worlds are probably being cheated."
When entering the Morhan Palace, which is like a "Museum of the Creator's Heritage", Tracey, who was wearing a casual red dress, whispered to Murphy:
"The price they asked for was too low. They only asked for 10 power armors from the Pharaoh's mechanics and wanted to share their knowledge. Frankly speaking, this priceless knowledge was sold a little cheaply.
Although according to Crown Prince Khufu and Princess Fulier, the Pharaoh's Sand Sea Guards only had 60 power armors in total, and it seemed very generous to take out one-sixth of them at a time, this did not include the number of broken power armors that the Songhai people had found in the past thousand years that could not be repaired.
If the Aztecs had nearly 200 scrapped , then the number of bottles and jars in the hands of the Songhai people who have been searching for the Creator's legacy for thousands of years is likely to be no less than this number.
They couldn't repair it before because they lacked the key recoding technology, but now with the teaching of scholars from other worlds, even if it is just the most basic and primitive control program, with the wisdom of the Songhai people, they can put those weapons that can be repaired back online within a few years.
In other words, sending out ten power armors will not weaken the Pharaoh's defense, but will usher in a wave of outbreaks within a few years.
According to my idea, at least thirty power armors can match the knowledge we are going to send out. "
"But Your Excellency, you overlooked a problem. "
Murphy did not comment on this. It was Adele who spoke. The intelligence chief said softly:
"The most important trophy that the master and the scholars from other worlds came to the Songhai Empire for was not a single-soldier power armor, but at least one solar ship. In front of such a strategic vehicle, the value of the power armor is not worth our extreme bargaining.
The most important thing is that the Pharaoh is waiting.
He is waiting for the answer that the master will finally give to the Songhai people. He and his people need that answer very much.
According to my prediction, once the master completes the recognition and acceptance of the Songhai people in the Holy City of Origin, the Pharaoh will have a "heavy gift" to send.
Although it is more mercenary to say this, in this matter of national system, directly pointing to the core of faith, When it comes to matters of the heart, a ruler like the Pharaoh will not be stingy with his chips, so what you want will eventually be delivered to us.
Just wait patiently and don't let the master's transcendent image be damaged at this time.
To describe it with a principle I learned on the alien network, when you can talk about human feelings, there is no need to rush to make this a simple business.
In my humble opinion, the sincere allegiance of the Songhai Empire is far more valuable to the master than a few power armors or a solar ship. "
"Ah, Adele is getting smarter and smarter. Compared with her young self, my old woman's brain can no longer work. "
Tress covered her mouth and smiled, coughed again, and said:
"If everything can proceed according to Adele's plan, then there is actually no need for Murphy to ask for anything, because theoretically the entire Songhai Empire is his private property, but these are just theories.
Faith is very important, but in the face of real political issues, there is not much room for faith.
For example, Murphy, do you really think that even if you recognize the Songhai people as ‘the Creator’s favorite children’, the Pharaoh will willingly give you his entire country? "
"Do you think I look like a fool? In my wildest dreams, I wouldn't dare to think of such a beautiful thing."
Murphy said expressionlessly:
"Okay, Tris, don't test it. This is a good measure for now. Coding technology is the result of research by foreigners. They have a cooperative relationship with Transia, not affiliation. Theoretically, at this time, they and Songhai Human exchange is also the diplomacy between Blue Star and the Songhai Empire.
I'd be lucky if I could get their results from it, as well as a batch of power armor and a solar ship.
No one is more familiar with the psychology of foreigners than me. Although they call me 'Lord Murphy' and 'Chief', their rich history determines that they will not allow a vampire master above their heads. '.
As the mainline NPC, I also have to be careful. If I really treat them as unequal servants, then they will soon transform from my cute little players into the most terrifying nightmare in Transia.
This is a win-win cooperation, and the most important thing in cooperation is to grasp the balance.
You don’t have to worry about me being immersed in the inflated fantasy of being ‘invincible’. "
"Very good, little Murphy is as sober as ever, but Adele's suggestions and thoughts are a little less interesting."
Ms. Tris, the famous five-star Grand Duke of Transia, commented sharply:
"She is still too young and likes to think about the development of everything in the best direction. However, my past life has taught me that accidents can come at any time."
Adele remained silent.
She knew Tris was secretly changing her concept, but she also knew very well whether she should refute it.
The Grand Duke may have felt a bit of "threat" from himself, which just means that he did the right thing.
Murphy didn't care about the quiet confrontation between Tris and Adele. In other words, it felt good to have a beautiful lady willing to compete for him.
He quickly stepped forward and came to the machine shop of Morhan Palace, where the assembly and debugging of the Sand Sea Guards' power armor was being carried out. Mosna was also among them, and she was using some tools from the Songhai Empire workshop. Maintain Murphy's Warmaster's weapons and replace the precious anti-explosion modules that have been consumed in the fortress armor.
As for the Songhai mechanics.
They were gathering around the restored red power armor to observe and learn, and Mengha, Uncle Yuncha's favorite disciple, served as the commentator to explain the characteristics of the replacement control program to these master Sanghai masters.
Today, with the help of Mannis, who traveled back in time to capture data samples for the bosses from other worlds, the bosses of the Explorers Guild have completed the master control of this pioneer-class power armor codenamed "Dragon" Second upgrade of the program.
Now this thing is no longer limited to the primary stage that can only move. The upgraded and optimized "pirated program" is enough to control the power armor to complete most basic tactical actions, and increase the energy efficiency of the power armor to 60%-70%. about.
What's even more commendable is that even when there are already original system data samples, the bosses did not copy the correct answers, but continued to upgrade and optimize the main control program they developed.
"So, the control program you are currently using for this set of vanguard-level warrior-god weapons is not entirely derived from the Creator's academic research?"
The royal master craftsman of the Songhai people also discovered this problem.
This old Songhai man with a white beard who looked very wise asked in a sharp tone:
"Why do you do this? You obviously have the original system, and you can restore the Samurai God's weapons to their best condition by directly implanting them."
"Because the 'standard answer' given by the Creator is not the 'only answer', Master."
Mengha explained in a neither humble nor overbearing manner:
"We discovered this when we studied the coding system of the Creator. The Creator adopted an open source program when designing these weapons. He only adopted module programming design and assembled the various modules together to achieve integrated functions.
But this is not the optimal solution!
We can be sure of this. Even the original programs left by the Creator have a lot of room for improvement. However, as the Creator, it is impossible for Him to leave such obvious loopholes. Therefore, it only takes a little thought to understand that the Creator does not leave these programs Achieving perfection is not because He cannot do it, but because He has other plans.
According to our rough understanding, the Creator should hope that when these devices fall into the hands of mortals, the studious and diligent mortals can follow the knowledge He left behind and deduce the answers to perfection with their own hands.
You may think that our explanation is a bit ideal, so I will give an example next. "
Mengha patted the "Dragon" power armor next to her that was being driven by the big man who took the jujube pill. She said very seriously:
"I don't know if you have discovered in the use of power armor in the past thousand years that when this thing is assembled with the original program, its power output cannot reach the redundancy upper limit of its mechanical design. To put it simply, this set of power armor In extreme conditions, the power can be overloaded to 300%!
However, the overload limit of the original program is only about 180%.
If the Creator had no intention of leaving behind this puzzle, there would be no need for Him to raise the parameters of the mechanical design to such a high level!
Although the 'pirated program' we are using now can only maintain operating efficiency at 70%, it still has great potential for optimization. I believe that as our understanding of the Creator's coding system becomes deeper and deeper, one day, The main control program we write ourselves will be enough to break through the 'virtual upper limit' set by the Creator.
When that day comes, we can stand up tall and proudly declare that we have fulfilled the Creator's expectations for the wisdom of future generations, and we have lived up to His expectations. "
These words made the Songhai mechanics look at each other.
The amount of power armor and the legacy of the Creator that each of them has come into contact with is far greater than that of the foreign girl in front of them, but they and their predecessors have really not thought about this problem.
In their hearts, everything created by the gods is perfect, and all learning and imitation processes are carried out based on this premise.
Questioning God is scary for believers, so it amounts to a misunderstanding.
After all, which devout believer would have imagined that their supreme Creator would be so bored as to leave such a "puzzle" in his design? Only those who have doubts about the Creator's works can discover such hidden secrets, right?
But if you accept this rhetoric, the problem will be even greater.
If it is determined that the pagans' statement is correct, doesn't it mean that the Creator does not want his followers to worship Him blindly? He left this little joke in the hope that among His followers there will be those who have a strong interest in Him. Questioning person.
Oh my God!
God is above!
This guess is so heretical!
"Click"
The cockpit of the power armor code-named "Dragon" was opened. The design of the power armor was modified by the big guys to achieve this "emergency mode" that allows the driver to escape without external support.
Chizao Pill, wearing a red pilot uniform, jumped out of it. He took off his protective hood and looked at the silent Songhai technicians in front of him. He said to these colleagues from other worlds in a serious voice:
“Whether it is theology or science, their essence is to discover the truth, but the prerequisite for discovering the truth is that you cannot presuppose the category of truth when you start chasing. Once you make such a mistake, you can only fall into the rut of following the map.
And likewise, whether it is faith, theology, or science, they are means, not ends, used to discover truth.
Once the truth is discovered and proven, the science, faith and theology we uphold will lose value in an instant, which means that we have reached the end and can stand side by side with the truth and become the new truth!
But if you regard faith as your goal, then you will never reach the other side of the truth, and you will never be able to truly get close to the seat of the Creator.
After all, longing is the furthest distance from understanding.
This is undoubtedly a mistake.
Fortunately, the Creator is a generous spirit, so it is not too late to change.
Mengha, copy the code in our hands to our colleagues, and then you stay here and explain the code writing mode and optimization plan to them until all the royal mechanics have learned the basic coding method. "
"Okay, Uncle Pill."
Mengha watched the pills leave.
She looked back at the Songhai technicians in front of her. This very thoughtful physicist was about to hand over the computing orb containing the code, but was stopped by Murphy's extended hand.
The Governor of Transia signaled Mengha to put the "pirated program" developed by the foreigners and the two computing orbs containing the "genuine" data of the Creator into his hands. Then, the vampire opened his hands and sent them to the Royal Master Craftsman. In front of you.
In a chant-like tone, he said to the smartest and wisest group of people in Songhai in front of him:
"So, my friends, do you want the standard answer left by the Creator? Or do you want another solution that is not perfect but has infinite possibilities?"
"us."
The leader of the Royal Master Craftsman subconsciously reached out to touch the genuine program of the standard answer, but was grabbed by a female apprentice behind him.
He looked back at his disciple. The apprentice wearing engineering goggles shook his head desperately at him.
The female apprentice coughed, looked at Murphy with some awe, and said:
"We. We want them all!"
"oh?"
The smile on Murphy's face grew wider, but then he straightened his face and said:
"Why so greedy?"
"Because the standard answers left by the Creator can tell us where to sail, and the problem-solving ideas of foreign friends can inspire the Songhai people to find our own answers."
The apprentice said loudly:
"The foreign masters have given their answers, but if we still copy their answers, how is it different from our blind worship of the Creator? Our God obviously wants us to remain skeptical of the truth, doesn't it?
This lady is right!
The standard answer is not the only answer. Since the foreign masters can find the second way, then we Songhai people can also find our third way!
This is the right way for us to please our Creator! "
"Well, based on my understanding of Him, He may not need you to 'please' Him. That guy knows how to have fun on his own."
Murphy shrugged, put the calculation orbs in his hands into the hands of the apprentice, and said:
"I don't know if your answer can satisfy the Creator, but I am indeed very satisfied."
After saying that, Murphy winked at Mengha, made a hidden "2" gesture, and then walked deeper into the machine shop with Tris and Adele. Mengha thought for a moment and suddenly saw something in front of his eyes. Bright.
She understood what Master Murphy meant.
So under the watchful eyes of the Songhai craftsmen, Mengha coughed and said:
"You took away two answers, so you have to pay two rewards. This is the rule of us foreigners! Fair trade, not to mention a priceless thing like knowledge."
"That makes sense! The second batch of ten power armors will be delivered here tomorrow."
The royal master craftsman nodded without hesitation. He looked at the two orbs in the hands of his disciples. After a few seconds, he turned back to Mengha and said:
"Do you want to visit the fallen sun ship? I can apply for you."
