Chapter 20 The Cathedral
The white-robed deacon listened to Chen Fan's narration in silence.
"The little boy you mentioned... I seem to have some impression of him."
The white-robed deacon stretched out his hand that had been hidden in the white robe and gently rubbed his temple, which was still mortal.
The arm was dry and thin, and the scorched yellow skin was full of wrinkles. It was obvious at a glance that it was the hand of an old man.
"I remember, it should have happened last year, right?"
"You still remember?" Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, and instinctively flattered him, "You have a good memory."
The mechanical eyes of the white-robed deacon glanced at Chen Fan, and the lines on his face softened a little: "You are much more talkative than the other chosen ones."
"Anyway, there is still plenty of time now. Since you mentioned it, I will talk to you in detail."
Chen Fan laughed secretly in his heart.
Previously, he said that time was tight, but now it has become plenty of time...
Otherwise, why do you say that flattery never wears out?
"It can't be said that the memory is good." The white-robed deacon took a step forward and continued to move forward. "Ordinary people who can be blessed by the gods are few in number. I'm afraid there are only a few in a year. This is still a child, so it's easy for him to remember."
Chen Fan followed his steps and "inadvertently" glanced at the small mechanical leg under the white robe.
This little action was naturally noticed by the white-robed deacon. He pulled the corner of his mouth and showed an awkward smile: "Yes, this is also a gift from the Lord."
As he said, the white-robed deacon reached out and gently tapped the various mechanical devices embedded in his face, and said proudly: "Except for the clergy of the church, no one can get so many blessings!"
Looking at the face embedded with mechanical devices hidden in the hood, Chen Fan only felt a sense of discomfort from the heart.
Welfare?
He doesn't think this is a blessing!
Having said that, Chen Fan still showed just the right amount of admiration on his face against his will: "Awesome!!"
The smile on the face of the white-robed deacon became more and more intense and uglier.
"You, the Chosen One, are interesting!"
"Over the years, I have seen many Chosen Ones, but this is the first time I have seen one like you!"
Chen Fan's heart tightened: "What do you mean?"
"Don't be nervous." Compared with before, the white-robed deacon's attitude was much softer, "You should know that the status of the Chosen Ones in the church is basically equivalent to that of bishops. Except for the archbishop, no one in the church can force them to do things. Because of this, the attitude of the Chosen Ones towards us deacons..."
As he said this, the white-robed deacon sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Chen Fan understood it immediately.
It turned out to be a contradiction between grassroots personnel and airborne leaders!
Deacons are equivalent to grassroots personnel in the church, while the Chosen Ones are equivalent to airborne leaders.
This is not the worst. The worst thing is that these leaders often have a "term" of only dozens of days or months.
After the "term" ends, the Chosen Ones will go to the Kingdom of God, and a new batch of Chosen Ones, or a new batch of "leaders" will take office.
It would be strange if there were no contradictions.
Due to their status, the church deacons have to respect the Chosen One, but the Chosen One looks down on the church deacons. At the same time, considering that the Chosen One will leave soon, the church deacons often just deal with the Chosen One, which becomes a vicious cycle.
Everything is explained!
"Let's go."
Just as Chen Fan was thinking, the white-robed deacon retracted his dry and thin right hand into his wide white robe. After
pondering for a moment, he reminded softly: "If you miss the oracle again, I'm afraid you will suffer."
"The archbishop is not as easy to talk to as me."
After saying that, the white-robed deacon quickened his pace and walked forward.
...
After more than an hour, the white-robed deacon's pace finally slowed down a little, and the mechanical humming sound like white noise also faded away.
Chen Fan took a light breath and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Looking at the calm deacon in white robes, he couldn't help but show a bit of envy in his heart.
Flesh and blood are weak, while machinery ascends.
This sentence is indeed true.
How can a mortal body compare to these mechanical devices!
[This machine advises you to give up this idea as soon as possible.]
Yi interrupted Chen Fan's thoughts in time: [The reason why the Human Union lists the mechanization of the human body as a dangerous technology is because it has extremely serious sequelae.]
[To put it in a big way, it can lead to the destruction of civilization.]
[To put it in a small way, it can also destroy a person's self-cognition and way of thinking from the root.]
Chen Fan was shocked.
Before he had time to ask carefully in his heart, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
There were four huge buildings spanning several blocks.
Each building was pyramid-shaped as a whole, and its architectural style was completely different from the surrounding low-rise houses made of cement and concrete -
they were made of steel!
The steel pyramids were engraved with the same mysterious patterns as those on the mechanical prostheses.
Not only that, there are a lot of fine corrugated structures on the surface of the pyramid, and strands of heat waves are gushing out from these corrugated structures.
Even though he is still hundreds of meters away from the huge steel pyramid, he can still feel the waves of heat gushing up to the sky.
In the central area of the four pyramids, there is a tall columnar building.
The top of the column flashes with extremely strong flashes, and at first glance, its brightness even exceeds the scorching sun in the sky!
What the hell is this thing...
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the azure blue holographic projection appeared in front of his eyes-
to be precise, on his retina.
A few lines quickly outlined a simple schematic diagram, and at the same time, Yi's voice sounded in his mind: [This machine has initially observed that this may be a molten salt tower energy storage power station. ]
Chen Fan: ...?
'What the hell? Power station? ! '
[Yes, the surface of the four surrounding pyramid-shaped buildings is covered with a layer of reflective film with a certain curvature, which can focus sunlight to the molten salt energy storage device at the central spire. 】
【To put it simply, you can think of the four pyramids as a concave mirror. 】
Looking at the lines that were constantly being drawn in front of him, Chen Fan suddenly realized: "Solar stove, right!"
【...You can understand it that way. 】
【As for the purpose of the four pyramids... insufficient data, this machine cannot make an accurate judgment at present. 】
Finally, it gave a summary: 【Anyway, this thing should not be the technology that this civilization should have. 】
Chen Fan swallowed hard: "You mean..."
"This thing may be made by alien civilization?"
【Theoretically, yes. 】
He quickly glanced at the white-robed deacon beside him.
From his respectful expression, it can be seen that the building in front of him is their final destination.
The cathedral!
In other words... he may have to go to the alien civilization's territory next? !
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly felt his scalp tingling!
He slowed down his pace, followed the white-robed deacon, and walked towards one of the steel pyramids anxiously.
