Chapter 648 Gear Sage Syndrome?
"This is one of the greatest relics of the Mechanical Temple, the Gear Sage. He resides permanently in this Gear Sanctuary, giving lectures day and night. However, the content of his lectures is extremely profound and difficult to understand."
After Hela finished her introduction, she frowned and thought for a moment before continuing:
"The followers of the Mechanical Temple attend lectures here, and occasionally some gain some understanding from these obscure teachings. Unfortunately, this is becoming less and less common nowadays."
Castel and his group stood in the Gear Sanctuary, not saying a word, staring intently at the robot "man" who was preaching above.
Castel could use steam engines to drive huge locomotives, send huge airships into the sky, and let fully loaded cargo ships sail on the sea, but he could not build such a sophisticated humanoid machine.
The research team led by Richard spent a long time researching the relevant technology, but now, not only has it not been completed, but they can't even come up with a complete plan or ideas.
The electronic control system is limited, and the manufacturing of servo motors is difficult, not to mention the brain-computer interface. Even Blue Planet couldn't make it before Zeus traveled through time, so he naturally couldn't provide any help.
As a last resort, they lowered their standards again and again, and finally they only planned to create a body for Nora that could barely move. Not to mention fine operations, it would be enough to pull her head around, but they couldn't even do that.
In other words, the machine in front of them that can write and draw on the blackboard has surpassed Castel's most advanced technology.
Erwin and Zoe had only heard of it, but Gaia actually spent all day in the cutting-edge research institute. She knew better than anyone how exaggerated the technology of this machine standing in front of the blackboard was.
It is not fixed to the ground, but actually stands on two legs - this is a very unstable structure that requires constant adjustments to maintain balance. If you look closely, you can see that it is constantly making small adjustments and its center of gravity is constantly changing.
This technology, which calculates the body's state according to the current situation and then adjusts it in real time, can be combined with a photosensitive element to form a fire control system and a Gatling machine gun to realize the sentry turret that the lord mentioned.
That extremely sophisticated control technology can be used to make some mechanical coyotes that can carry bombs and charge instead of soldiers.
Gaia suddenly felt a little absurd. She had thought that Castel was the most advanced force in the entire continent, but with these technologies before her, let alone asking Castel to imitate them, she might not even understand the principles if she was explained.
Isn’t that mechanical creature giving a lecture now?
It spoke the common language, and Gaia could understand every word. It was just an ordinary lecture, and the vocabulary used was not sophisticated.
But put together it becomes something weird and twisted.
What does it mean to shut down spinal cord pain signals using the annihilation protocol on a pain threshold floating point array? What does it mean to build a computing power confessional based on the Mayfly Brain?
Gaia felt her forehead twitching and swelling. This was a sign that the anchor in the sea of unconsciousness was shaking. She knew this very well.
She had seen countless cases of Castells syndrome, a mild cognitive shift caused by a person's inability to keep up with advanced technology. She always smiled and comforted them by saying that they would get used to it, read more books, and the problem would be alleviated by consolidating their cognition.
And at this moment, she is the one who lacks awareness.
"What's wrong, Miss Gaia?"
Hela, who was standing by, noticed her abnormality and turned her head in surprise.
She turned so fast that her veil was pulled, and when Gaia looked up, she saw her face full of sophisticated gears.
Gaia immediately closed her eyes and stopped any communication to prevent the situation from getting worse.
Zoe and Erwin gasped when they saw this; they naturally knew what was going on.
"Lord Hela, she has... well, Caster Syndrome. It's difficult to explain, but I'm sure you've encountered this quite a bit in this Gear Sanctuary, right?"
“I’ve encountered quite a few?” Hela’s mechanical face was expressionless, but her tone was perplexed. “What do you mean?”
"That's the situation. See that person..."
"Gear Sage."
"Will you not experience cognitive shifts or go crazy after seeing that sage?"
Hela paused for a moment, as if recalling something, but finally shook her head.
"That has never happened."
"What? How could this happen?" Zoe's eyes widened.
Even she can feel the horror of this Gear Sage. Is there something like "Gear Sage Syndrome" here?
She was about to say something when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
Zoe turned around and saw Erwin patting her shoulder and shaking his head.
"Aren't you and I also not insane?"
"But we are not because..." Zoe said halfway, and suddenly froze in place, her eyes suddenly widened.
She and Erwin did not have a seizure, not because they were stronger, but on the contrary, because their knowledge level was not enough to truly understand the greatness of the Gear Sage.
This is the case with Castel. Scholars from outside are likely to go crazy, but if those illiterate people come to the island, there will not be much reaction.
They have no idea of the greatness of the creation before them.
but.
Gear Sanctuary, this "Castell Syndrome" has never occurred?
Does this mean
Over the years, no one in the entire Mechanical Temple can truly understand the greatness of the Gear Sage?
Zoe is a civilian and Erwin is a military man. It’s okay that they don’t understand so many technologies, but is there no researcher in the entire Mechanical Temple?
Or is it that the technical level of these gear sages who teach day and night is not even as good as Gaia's?
Zoe raised her head again and looked at the Gear Sage who had been preaching, and suddenly a trace of pity appeared in her heart.
It has been giving lectures here day and night for hundreds and thousands of years, but no one has ever understood it.
The believers worshiped it but did not try to understand the knowledge it spoke, nor did they know how it felt when facing the believers singing hymns.
Zoe is also a teacher and has taught countless people. She would rather face students' questions than be surrounded by devout believers.
Hela summoned her believers and lit the cast incense burner, an exquisite round pendant. Its size was similar to the incense burner in the Temple of Silence, but its shape was completely different - at least it had no horns or blood grooves.
Along with the clicking sound of gears and the humming of machinery, smoke emerged from the incense burner and enveloped the few people.
Zoe felt her mind suddenly clear, as if there was a ticking sound in her ears. She turned to look at Gaia and found that her expression had relaxed. She took a few deep breaths and slowly opened her eyes.
"I'm much better now. Thank you, Your Excellency, Wanji Shuqing."
Hela simply nodded.
"I thought you were already used to this. After all, you brought the holy relics with you, didn't you?"
