Chapter 357: Forbidden Things: Infinite(1/3)
When scientific power gradually influenced the world, a few scientists began to turn their research direction to gods.
If we promote "Cliff Ackles" to the position of gods and promote "the god of science and technology" is the highest achievement of scientific power so far.
Then the ‘artificial holy relics’ are the ‘heretics’ that were unexpectedly born in divine research.
Since the birth of the "God of Technology", scientists' research on gods has become almost "crazy".
They abused their divinity, triggering the "self-awakening of artificial intelligence" and ultimately leading to the outbreak of the "AI war".
In July 2510, the third AI war ended, and the awakened artificial intelligence announced the establishment of the Cybertron to the entire world and disappeared immediately.
Humans promulgated the AI Law.
The world decree explicitly prohibits any form of divine research, and classifies artificial intelligence, and strictly limits the awakened AI that still lives in the human world.
For example, artificial intelligence is roughly divided into three categories: ordinary AI (no autonomous consciousness), advanced AI (contaminated with divinity but not yet formed a perfect self-awareness), super AI (having an independent personality), and strictly standardizing the usage specifications and capabilities of artificial intelligence, etc.
"Crazy research" naturally left behind many 'crazy products'.
They were called "artificial holy relics" before the AI Act, but after that, they became "tags"!
At that time, the Royal Academy of Sciences prohibited anyone from owning, using, or selling... "tags" and began a large-scale "recycling" of them.
However, as the influence of the Royal Academy of Sciences has gradually weakened in recent years, the underground market has gradually become more and more frequent in trading of "tags".
Until now, it has completely become acquisitive behavior that even the world coalition government has turned a blind eye.
Although they are still called "tags", they are all "hot-selling products" in the minds of those who know how to do things.
The artificial sacred relics themselves were created by scientists at that time deliberately or accidentally for some purpose.
So, they are very functional!
The birth of traditional holy relics is very random, and a few of them can even be said to have side effects against the sky, but their effects are basically useless.
In contrast, artificial sacred relics are generally more practical and have a lower degree of side effects.
And, there is a more critical point...
Most traditional holy relics cannot be placed in storage chips, but artificial holy relics are different. They can almost all be stored in storage chips.
Luona's "Smile Peter" and "Must and Eyes";
Estiva's ‘Nait's Magic Book’;
The ‘Wanzhong Mask’ that Jock once used and the ‘Hidden Cloak’ that was lost in the air crash;
And the "Youth Tree" that is now in Bennett's hands, etc...
They are all traditional holy relics and cannot be placed in storage chips.
(Supplement: The storage pocket mentioned in the article is actually a pocket with storage chips installed. The world is well-developed in technology, and many daily necessities can support various scientific powers)
As for the "Thunder Spread" that Jock got at the Ghost Howling Forest Underground Research Institute and the "sniper cannon" taken by his fellow "White Sword" Xilin, they are all man-made holy relics.
The original owner of the underground institute, "Kamera Ivanov", was not only an arms master who created the "EK" series of weapons, but also a very famous divine researcher at that time.
This super scientist, who once belonged to the Royal Academy of Sciences, has long disappeared, and no one knows where it is now, whether it is dead or alive.
But the various weapons he left behind are the favorites of adventure hunters!
Jock had good eyesight and saw at a glance the thing on the shop owner's hand was engraved with the 'EK' logo.
"Hey! Dear adventurers! Come and have a look!" The owner continued to promote with high enthusiasm.
"Did you see this mark?" He pointed to the "EK" on the item.
"This is the legendary master of arms, Mr. Kamela Ivanov's proud work..."
"How do you know it was the masterpiece of that master? Did Carmela tell you in person?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Hahaha! This brother makes sense!"
"Hahaha!" The onlookers burst into laughter.
Luona and Dean had already squeezed in front.
Jock had completely seen the items in the shop owner's hand.
It is a pistol with silver and black all over and obvious metallic characteristics.
"Quickly asked!" The owner didn't care about someone shattering him in person.
He raised his pistol so that as many people could see it clearly, "This pistol has unlimited ammunition and can gradually increase its power as it increases in use. Of course, if it does not continue to fire for a certain period of time, the superimposed power will be reset."
Unlimited ammunition?!
As soon as the owner said this, the crowd was a little excited!
This is definitely a holy relic!
Seeing that the onlookers' desires were aroused by themselves, the shop owner was very happy.
"But even though it's just a pistol, its power is not much different from ordinary heavy firepower weapons."
Power is comparable to a heavy weapon?!
Some onlookers began to get ready, as it seemed that they were planning to rush to buy it.
Jock couldn't help but recall his experience at 'Tinis'.
The big guy, Rake, is the heavy firepower weapon used.
The advantage of this type of weapon is its strong destructive power, but its disadvantages are also obvious.
The ammunition replacement is slow, the aiming is time-consuming, and the reserve ammunition storage is limited.
But the pistol in front of me perfectly solved all the problems.
'It sounds very good.' Jock was also a little moved.
...
"and..."
The owner paused and showed a distinct businessman-like smile on his face.
"The ammunition of the pistol will immediately generate various additional attributes during firing, including but not limited to 'killing evil', 'execution', 'blast rain', 'element', 'speed fire', 'tracking', 'corrosion', 'biology', 'magnetic storm', 'zontal'..."
【名名】: It has additional lethality to shadow creatures
【Execution】: Causing fatal damage
【Bullet Rain】: Shooting randomly on a large scale;
【Element】: Corresponding elemental effects; flame (heat energy, melting, ignition) thunder (penetration, paralysis, explosion,) cold (freezing, slow, broken) etc.
【Rapid Fire】: Bullet Acceleration
【Tracking】: Automatic aiming
【Corrosion】: It has additional lethality to metal mecha
【Bio】: Targeting flesh and blood animals and some extraordinary creatures
【Magnetic Storm】: For Artificial Intelligence
[Zhanpo]: Targeting the existence of supernatural beings;
"Sorry! Because I haven't been able to get this item for a long time, I haven't tried all its ammunition characteristics. If anyone is lucky enough to buy it, you can try it slowly by yourself." The owner smiled on his face, as if he was apologizing, but in fact he pretended to be fierce.
However, his introduction really made most of the onlookers present excited.
The introduction of ammunition attributes comes from the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The Academy of Sciences has introduced various common weapons and equipment and published special publications.
The professional terms the owner just mentioned all come from that publication.
Almost everyone can understand adventure hunters.
"Boss, you just said it so well, but this thing must have side effects. The side effects of such a strong holy relic must not be too easy." Questioning appeared again.
They are indeed right.
"Everyone who obtains effectiveness will bear the price!" is the iron rule for the use of holy relics. Whether traditional or artificial, it cannot escape this law.
"Boss! You just speak nicely, but you will demonstrate it to us on the spot!" Another voice rang in the crowd.
I have to say that since the owner introduced this, the onlookers' participation has suddenly increased.
It seems that there are many people who want to buy it.
Dean also looked at the shop owner on the stage with anticipation.
The internal market of the Free Alliance prohibits the sale of any counterfeit goods, although everyone believes in the words of the shop owner.
But as the saying goes, "Hearing is false, seeing is true." If the shop owner does not show off the ability of this pistol on the spot, the smart onlookers will probably not really pay for it.
"Okay, okay! Don't be anxious everyone! Don't be anxious everyone!" Seeing the onlookers making various requests with each word, the scene was warm but on the verge of losing control, the owner quickly raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"I'll demonstrate it to you right now, please wait for a minute!" The owner then clicked on his wrist and a movement appeared behind the store.
Several robots walked out from behind with several discs and stood neatly in a row not far from the owner.
