Chapter 163: Burn It with Pollution
Why does this prayer sound a bit strange? Hughes frowned.
As Chloe chanted, in an instant, the blazing flames in the boiler filled with fuel rose up, burning Gaia, who was holding the brazier and preparing to pour in, and she staggered, and the dark red burning charcoal in the brazier fell onto her.
Monica's expression changed, and the flesh and blood magic was activated. She swung her whole body and used her snake tail to help her block the charcoal.
Chloe calmly withdrew her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she looked at the steam engine that was starting to run, her eyes full of joy: "It actually works, we succeeded!"
Monica and Gaia in her arms were startled, their eyes widened: "Success?"
"It really worked, A Nuo, A Nuo responded to me, woo woo woo, it finally paid attention to me"
Monica threw herself on the boiler room of the steam engine, hugged the steam engine and cried loudly. Gaia also stood up and showed a smile from the heart.
This was the first time that they successfully communicated with the machine spirit.
"Great!" "Wow, little Monica is great, she actually succeeded!" "Gaia! Awesome!" "You're worthy of being the chief!" "Oh oh oh!"
There was a burst of cheers outside the house, which frightened Gaia and made her shrink her neck. Hughes took the lead in applauding, and soon the small room was filled with warm applause.
Gaia's face turned red. She then remembered that she and the others were being watched the entire time. The feeling of embarrassment spread from her toes to the top of her head. She squatted down with her head in her arms.
Chloe next to her was like an actor taking her curtain call. She greeted everyone in a pompous manner, then put her hands on her hips and raised her head with a smug smile on her face.
The applause from the onlookers was long-lasting and like a tide. Half of them were cheering and half were truly in admiration. In fact, Chloe and the other two were not the only ones who tried to communicate with the machine spirit. Most of the people in the test site had tried to communicate with this "living" steam engine.
A Nuo ignored everyone except Xiu Si.
People were not surprised by this. After all, Hughes was the designer of this steam engine, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was A-Nuo's father.
A steam engine with living properties, everyone thinks it has great value, but it just ignores people, as if they have found a treasure house with great effort but don't have the key to get in, making everyone hate it.
The applause died down after a long time. Xiu Si stepped forward and congratulated them, "Congratulations, you have successfully communicated with the machine spirit. This is enough to be written into the history textbooks. I am just a little curious about where these rituals and prayers come from?"
"This is actually the universal prayer for steam engines in the Mechanical Temple."
"Mechanicum?"
"An organization that is a fanatic worshiper of machinery and technology. They, ahem, have some connection with me."
Zeus blinked and showed a surprised expression. The reputation of the Fire Moths was too bad, so Zeus did not disclose their identities. Chloe must have meant that the Fire Moths were related to the Mechanical Templar.
Come to think of it, the Fire Moths are pursuing knowledge, and in this respect have the same goal as the Mechanical Templar. It is normal for them to have some secret connections. And why does he seem to have some impression of this name?
"The Mechanical Templar has some connections with the royal family, and the Queen is their secret supporter." Chloe leaned in and whispered.
So that's how it is. No wonder he had some impression that a large part of the Empire's army equipment came from the secret supply of the Mechanical Temple. As the illegitimate son of Duke Cohen, he had heard some words about it.
However, this organization has some religious elements in it, so the royal family just hides them behind the scenes to avoid direct conflict with the Candlelight Society.
Speaking of which, why does the priest who killed the worker Xius seem to have some connection with this Mechanical Temple? He is covered with gear parts.
"By the way, why are you all here?"
Chloe looked at the crowd of onlookers crowded at the door with some curiosity. Hearing this, Gaia also secretly looked outside through the fingers covering her face.
Hughes's face darkened.
"Monica, you've already blown up two toilets, collapsed half of the factory building, and killed a nest of coyotes when you were doing a pollution experiment a few days ago." Monica smiled awkwardly and muttered in a low voice to defend herself.
"Gaia, not only did you fail to stop Monica, you also provided her with nitroglycerin."
Gaia quickly covered her eyes.
"Chloe, you, you're fine."
Chloe summoned the evil god, but almost couldn't control it. The last time she asked him to do an experiment, something went wrong again, and it was the crazy fire moth. Unfortunately, none of this can be said.
Chloe tilted her head.
"The three of you getting together is an emergency for Castel. Who knows whether you want to communicate with the steam engine or pour explosives into the boiler."
Xiu Si looked at the three people in front of him, and finally sighed helplessly: "In the future, you must report any experiments you want to do. It doesn't need to be too troublesome. Just tell the banshee on duty at the door, or Monica, you can contact me directly."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The banshees have a mental link and can communicate directly with Zeus at any time. Theoretically, Zeus's ability to control the test site is still very strong, but these three people are too efficient in causing trouble.
"Actually, I'm a little curious about how you could think of using the ritual of the Mechanical Temple—and the Machine Spirit actually responded."
In Zeus's memory, there is only one impression of this Mechanical Temple - demonic.
If the Fire Moth is pursuing knowledge, learning knowledge, using knowledge and going crazy about it, then the Mechanical Templar regards machinery and technology as something completely incomprehensible.
They worship machines as something sacred, and strictly forbid others from learning and understanding them. They themselves have a whole set of cumbersome operating procedures, from prayers to various ritual items. Although they do not call themselves a religion, their worship of machines is more fanatical than many religions.
The worker Hughes in the previous life was killed because he didn't know these things.
Huh? Wait, wasn't he killed by the Candlelight Society? The mechanical priest seemed to be wearing the holy emblem of the Candlelight Society? Hughes rubbed his forehead. The power of Rhine was really complicated. Even if he really broke into the upper echelons of the empire through the relationship with the church, he would probably be killed inexplicably.
"Come to think of it, I always thought these rituals were a bit stupid, but I didn't expect them to be useful." Chloe stroked her chin. "The Mechanical Temple is really something. Their rituals can really please the machine spirits."
"Do they have organic souls?"
"." Chloe fell silent, thinking carefully for a long time before answering: "No."
"." Xius was also speechless.
This Mechanical Temple is really crazy.
"By the way, now that we have successfully awakened the machine soul, let's proceed to the next experiment."
"Give it some pollution to burn."
