The atmosphere became somewhat dramatic as the civilian faction represented by Patroller Kunsan fell into silence once again, clearly displaying a form of nonviolent resistance.
At this moment, Lin Yuan, despite being used as cannon fodder, remained puzzled. From the perspective of strength comparison, the Mechanical Nobility faction represented by Ruler Shrek was clearly poised to crush the Mechanical Civilian Faction represented by Patroller Kunsan. Why were they wasting time and energy on such a thankless task?
"Sir, it's not as simple as you think. In the Mechanical Empire, conspiracies and open plots are everywhere. However, there is something akin to a Team Contract that can impose significant constraints. Judging by the state of their base, it’s evident that when this base was established, they employed the Mechanical Cube rules. Although the civilian faction represented by Patroller Kunsan is weak, they possess the right to activate the Mechanical Cube. You can understand this as a veto power. This is why Ruler Shrek and his faction are cautious and have to use you to bypass the Mechanical Cube rules."
At this point, Claire appeared to be enjoying the spectacle, eager for chaos while continuously explaining things to Lin Yuan.
"Uh, Mechanical Cube? Team Contract? What do these two have in common? I'm still a bit confused," Lin Yuan thought to himself with a bitter smile; his intelligence felt inadequate.
"Alright, sir. You can think of the Mechanical Cube as a manifestation of a constitution or simply as a binding spell like that used on Sun Wukong. It’s a constraint; only by unlocking the Cube can certain actions be taken. The key to unlock it lies in the hands of everyone in this base. A majority of keys must be present to open this Cube. If I’m not mistaken, you should already meet the conditions to activate this Cube. That’s part of Ruler Shrek's scheme. They already have what it takes to unlock the Mechanical Cube and are confident in their victory; now they just want to perfectly subdue those Mechanical Commoners. Of course, if any of those Mechanical Commoners are angry or dissatisfied, they will likely seek you out to vent their frustrations."
Claire's casual explanation finally made sense to Lin Yuan, but it left him feeling quite helpless. The feeling of being treated as a pawn and cannon fodder was truly unpleasant; however, seeing Claire so relaxed suggested she had ways to navigate through this situation.
Meanwhile, silence continued in the Peace Council Hall of the base as both factions awaited developments. Clearly, the civilian faction was at a disadvantage this time. Eventually, Patroller Kunsan sighed and said, "Lord Shrek, we need to understand the specific plan. Only if it is feasible will we agree."
"Hehe, it's very simple. Please trust my sincerity; I would never joke with your lives."
Ruler Shrek smiled pleasantly before speaking in an undeniable tone: "Everyone, in fact, we are already well-prepared. One hundred Mechanical Years ago, the Dark Council Base developed an Ancient Simulation Code Equation that can obscure the sensing of ancient Original Parasite Virus Variants to some extent. Over these one hundred Mechanical Years, the Dark Council Base has refined this simulation code to a very high level. Tests have shown it can confuse Original Parasite Virus Variants within a three-thousand-kilometer radius. This is a significant advancement; I only received this news recently. The Dark Council Base wants to collaborate with us and the Alliance Council. After careful analysis, we confirmed that the timing for restarting the Rail Plan is perfect; we just need a favorable wind!"
"And now, the Dark Council is ready to join forces with us and the Alliance Council Base to rebuild a super giant Mechanical Dragon. Once constructed, we will install the simulation code onto it. According to Lord Ruler Fark's calculations, we have at least a 60% chance of breaking through the Original Parasite Virus Variant's defenses at checkpoint a-srs119. As everyone knows, the emergency defense mechanisms at checkpoint a-srs119 are still intact and were built according to ur-4 standards during construction; thus they won't be consumed by Original Parasite Virus Variants. If we can successfully activate them, we will gain thirty-six mechanical cycles' worth of time—time enough for us to repair our tracks! Brothers, freedom is within reach!"
“Rebuild the Super Giant Mechanical Dragon?”
“Ah, doesn’t that mean if we fail, we won’t even have a final refuge left?”
“My lord, the risks of this matter are too great!”
……
In an instant, the Peace Council Hall was filled with discussions, as if the end of the world was approaching. Lin Yuan could even sense that many Mechanical Nobility looked quite helpless; clearly, this plan was astonishing.
However, Ruler Shrek remained silent after proposing the plan, demonstrating his firm stance that left no room for doubt!
“I oppose! To rebuild the Mechanical Dragon, we need to restart the three major bases. This process is too dangerous. If those Avengers discover us during the docking process, or if we encounter the Ancient Protozoan Virus Legion, we’re done for! We won’t have even a glimmer of hope left!” shouted Patroller Kunsan.
“Opposition is futile! I have made my decision; this is our last chance. Administrator Valve, retrieve the Mechanical Cube and make the final choice!” Ruler Shrek declared loudly, leaving no room for dissent.
This time, the Mechanical Civilian Faction finally fell silent.
Meanwhile, the rather bulky Mechanical Body, responsible for the logistics of the entire Council Base, Administrator Valve, slowly moved to the center of the hall. The massive Mechanical Body underwent a rapid transformation; in less than three seconds, it changed into a gigantic Mechanical Body resembling a cube, measuring thirty meters in length, width, and height. However, this Cube was far more complex than Lin Yuan had imagined. Each face contained three thousand six hundred moving mechanisms. Although there were no color distinctions, it featured thirty-two variations in size. What surprised everyone most was that on the four faces of this Cube, there were a total of sixteen peculiar keyholes. Undoubtedly, each Council Member present possessed a key that could fit into these holes, and as long as more than half were inserted, this Mechanical Cube could be activated.
So that’s how it is!
This strange design was surprisingly democratic. But how could Lin Yuan possess one of the keys to activate the Mechanical Cube? Just as he pondered this, a strange and complex program message was transmitted to him. The message was simple: key program!
Indeed, Ruler Shrek had everything planned out long ago.
"Newborn Papaya does not have the qualifications to activate the Mechanical Cube! I request its expulsion!"
Finally, someone from the civilian faction shouted, but Lin Yuan could only smile wryly upon hearing it. Where had they been all this time? Ruler Shrek had already been plotting for three years! (To be continued)
