Chapter 167 Premonition
Chapter 167 Premonition
In the past few days, while the mecha Tian Zhen was maintaining the growth of the vine he called the Torch, he was also controlling the resonant relationship between the vine's calm thoughts and the thoughts of the people affected within this range.
The thoughts formed by those affected within this range could be better sequenced in a closed loop within the torch. After all, when these people were thinking calmly, their thoughts could affect the torch, inevitably creating a closed loop of thoughts similar to the spirit. Therefore, he had to first establish a main framework, trying to make the thought loop generated by this spirit more complete, at least like the Wood Spirit Puppet and Baile. Although the probability of a demonic person appearing in a calm environment was small, it was not impossible.
Within the vast, beast-like vines, a mysterious bioreactor tirelessly supplied a constant stream of immense energy pulses. Each pulse seemed to shake the entire space. Everything the vine, named the Torch, touched, whether it was the tiny molecules floating in the air or the common elements dormant deep within the earth, seemed imbued with life by some kind of resonance, exhibiting its own "vibration." Then, guided by the bioreactor, each, due to its differences, began to slowly fuse and synthesize into a unique substance remarkably similar to metal, forming the plant's characteristics.
Of course, Mecha Tian Zhen maintained the role of catalyst. He was like a stable fulcrum, skillfully balancing the subtle differences between various substances, like a precisely controlled gear, constantly accelerating the efficiency of material conversion. It was precisely because of his presence and efforts that the originally slow-growing torch was able to grow rapidly like a rocket.
Soon the vines began to bend slowly due to gravity, crawling on the ground, and began to extend on the ground like a giant, but soon the growth speed slowed down, because Tian Zhen found that it was unrealistic to grow only by using the material of this planet, and there was not enough material for it to stay here, and obvious large pits had already appeared here.
So Tian Zhen immediately changed his method and made the torch self-sufficient and able to generate substances by itself through the bioreactor, even if the process was relatively slow.
Since the growth rate has been slowed, its silent force field will no longer expand significantly, so it must be able to move and let it "pollute" itself. Originally, Tian Zhen had planned to sow seeds everywhere like an old farmer, but it seemed too troublesome. Automation was the goal.
Looking at this long strip, he originally planned to shape it into the image of a dragon. However, when he thought of the various details of the dragon, the changes to be added would become more complicated. Not only would the pollution be slowed down, but it would also increase the instability factor, which would damage the image of the dragon.
It’s better to keep it simple, simple is stable.
So it was constructed randomly according to the muscle outline of a marine iguana, and its image was like the image of Godzilla seen in movies in the previous life.
The vine grew a pair of big feet and claws. The middle part of the vine bulged out to serve as the belly. It was made bigger just to serve as a stable support for the main biological atomic reactor. The length of the tail was the same as its body, accounting for half of the total length.
Under the mecha Tian Zhen's dedicated control, these astonishing changes unfolded with lightning speed. In just thirty-six hours, equivalent to a day and a half, he had already established the general outline. Only the torch remained, shaped by the thoughts gathered by those influenced. Once it successfully formed a closed loop and possessed independent thinking, it would be able to slowly pull its "head" out of the deep earth as if breaking free from its constraints. That moment undoubtedly marked the beginning of a new life.
During these long days, those members of the Human Empire Church who had hastily evacuated to nearby areas, unaffected by the peace, watched in horror as vines grew larger and more bizarre in form from the once ordinary land. Like greedy monsters, they wantonly spread their tentacles, as if to envelop the entire world.
Some of the surrounding plants had taken on a gray-black metallic appearance, similar to vines. Although no such reaction had yet been observed in humans, they noticed that the Vatican Inquisitor, a psychic, surprisingly showed no reaction to the change. Instead, he seemed to enjoy it. This filled them with confusion and unease. They began whispering among themselves, questioning whether this was still the sacred object created by the great Lord of Humanity.
However, just as the doubts of some members of the Holy See grew stronger, an inexplicable impulse drove them to take action and try to launch tentative attacks on these strange plants in order to find out their details.
A group of Mechanicus members wearing unique costumes appeared on the scene in flying vehicles descending from the sky and stopped the reckless actions of these members of the Church.
They say it is a creation of the Machine God, made of a special alloy with ancient composition methods, with plant-like properties, and even requires high-power lasers to cut.
It can make people extremely calm, their thinking is very clear, it can stabilize the mechanical soul, and even some organizations have a certain degree of ability to expel the Chaos Demons in the subspace.
"The inquisitors of the Imperial Church will be interested." said a great sage of the Mechanicus.
"If we can collect this substance on a large scale, it will be something the Empire can use to fight against the demons of the Warp in the future. We can't destroy it so arbitrarily. We can first take some samples to the Inquisitors of the Holy See for testing."
Some of the Vatican staff here were unsure whether this was acceptable, and the inquisitor here also agreed, so they decided to send the samples to other inquisitors of the Vatican for testing.
In a word, just follow the process. After all, this is what the members of the human empire and the church love to do most.
The samples were sent for testing, and within half a day, fleets of transport ships arrived from space, bringing in large quantities of blue and red cans. But this time, something seemed different from usual.
They began to clear out the isolated, somewhat non-human four-armed creatures in large numbers. As for those completely non-human four-armed creatures, they had already fled before the cluster city collapsed.
These cans are not just here to clean up these four-armed creatures, their purpose is to protect the miners from mining this metal plant as much as possible.
Because those aliens are coming!
Mecha Tian Zhen also sensed the approach of those shadowy masses in the starry sky. He knew that it was the arrival of a higher-level consciousness group of those four-armed creatures whose main body was transformed by energy!
He flew towards the sky, and just as he reached orbit, the mecha Tian Zhen saw a very huge outline under the illumination of the stars. Although he had predicted it, Tian Zhen was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
In comparison, even though things that are closer are bigger and things that are farther away are smaller, he still feels that the planet beneath his feet is extremely small.
The fighting has started in the front. Many steel battleships are firing continuously at the same time. There is a strange and huge battleship surrounded by dense insects. It looks like a rhinoceros beetle and is larger than the largest steel battleship.
