Above the Pirate King

Chapter 692 Mechanical City
Originally, Arthur thought that a brain in a vat, no matter how big it is, it won't go anywhere!
After all, the brain of a normal person is only that big, even with equipment and the like, it can't be that big!
But looking through the hole, the scale really made Arthur a little surprised and speechless!
First of all, what he saw was a city!
An empty mechanical city with no lights and a slightly gloomy look!

Unlike ordinary cities, this city is not spread out on the ground, but wrapped in a spherical shape. From the sky to the ground, from left to right, from front to back, there are silver-white metal walls full of mechanical sense.

Arthur estimated that the city was at least ten kilometers in size!

And in this city, what surprised Arthur the most was the brain that was almost a kilometer in size in the center of the city!
This brain is no different from the general brain from the outside, but from the countless lines extending to the brain in every corner and direction of this mechanical city, it can be seen that this brain is the center of this mechanical city!
Just as Arthur was looking at the city in surprise.

suddenly!

A white projection appeared at the entrance of the cave!
With a big head, white hair, a thin body, and an old-looking face, Arthur recognized him at a glance. He was the Archibald that Arthur had seen from a blood tester!

"Thank you!" Archibald smiled and saluted after seeing Arthur.

"No!" Arthur waved his hand subconsciously and responded.

"I know you should have a lot of questions now, please come in with me first, let's have a good talk inside!" Archibald's projection turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation!
Seeing his gesture, Arthur walked into the mechanical city without thinking too much.

Soon, under the guidance of Archibald's projection, Arthur passed through a long metal passage, and came to the one-kilometer-sized brain in the center!

"Crack!"

The moment Arthur reached the brain, a metal gate about ten meters long and five meters wide opened in front of the brain.

Then, under the leadership of Archibald, Arthur walked into the metal gate!
As soon as he entered, he looked at another head!
A brain that is similar to the huge brain that Arthur saw from the outside, but with an extra crystal cover, and a brain filled with many unknown liquids!

"This is the real brain in a vat, and it is also Archibald's current body and the center of this mechanical city!" Arthur looked at the brain in front of him, which was also connected with many lines, but it was only the size of a normal human brain. suddenly said.

"Yes, this is the result of my research, and it is also my current body, a brain in a vat!" Archibald listened to Arthur's words, said with a smile, and then made a gesture of invitation, saying , "Come and sit!"

Immediately, a set of metal tables and chairs rose up in front of Arthur!

Seeing this, Arthur pulled out the chair and sat on it, while Archibald sat opposite Arthur.

"I think what you want to ask now is, what is a brain in a vat, right?" Archibald said with a slight smile.

"Hmm!" Arthur was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

Indeed, although he has learned about the brain in a vat from many aspects, and has guessed some by himself, he does not actually have a real cognition, so he really wants to ask what the brain in a vat is!
"Brain in a vat, it starts with the Tik Kingdom 600 years ago!" Archibald sighed, showing a reminiscing expression in a very humane way, and said,

"600 years ago, I was the chief scientist of the Kingdom of Tik, and I was best at the research of biology, brain, machinery, and communication. At that time, I carried out many research projects at the same time, one of which was the brain in a vat! "

"The brain in a vat project was originally initiated because of a brain hole of mine! If a person takes out his brain and puts his brain in a nutrient solution after his body dies but before his brain dies, it can give In the container that provides nutrients to the brain, his activity is always maintained, so is that person alive?"

"Based on this crazy brain hole, I began to study the so-called brain in a vat, to study how to make a person's brain survive in a container filled with nutrient solution!"

"However, when this research has been carried out to about 60.00%, the Kingdom of Tik has encountered the greatest crisis in history, the attack of the world government, and because of this, the Kingdom of Tik has been destroyed!"

"As for me, I escaped from the Tik Kingdom after a near-death experience, and escaped for almost ten years before I got rid of the pursuit of the world government and stayed in the safe house where you got the blood tester! "

"I think you have seen what happened later on the projection in the blood tester, so I won't say more!"

"In short, the so-called brain in a vat is actually a technology that uses special equipment and special nutrient solution to keep the human brain alive after the body dies, maintain the ability to think, and make a person live forever in disguise!"

Listening to Archibald's explanation, Arthur nodded.

This is similar to the information he collected before, as well as his own guess!
"Then what else do you want to ask now?" Archibald asked again when he saw this.

"Well" Arthur said after pondering for a moment, "I want to know what happened between you and my ancestors!"

Arthur wanted to know why Martin suddenly changed his original intention and returned to Xihai to establish St. Martin!

"Your ancestor?" Archibald asked in surprise.

He knows that now, he still thinks that Arthur is a descendant of a certain royal family who escaped from the Tik Kingdom.

And the reason why he thinks so is that he thinks that Martin won't tell the posterity!

After all, that place was abandoned after he left, and Martin knew this, so he definitely wouldn't tell future generations about it!

Well, who's okay to mention an abandoned place?
In other words, the people of Xihai St. Martin will not go to find that place specifically!
Under this premise, the small island where the blood tester is located is discovered, and it is more likely that a descendant of a certain escaped from the Tik kingdom arrived there by accident and found the blood tester!

"My ancestor, Pendragon Martin!" Arthur shrugged and said seriously.

"Martin is your ancestor?" Archibald asked in disbelief with wide-eyed eyes, "wait a minute, aren't you a descendant of a certain royal family in the kingdom of Tik who wandered outside? How did you become a member of St. Martin? "

"Did I tell you that I am a descendant of a certain royal family of the Tik Kingdom?" Arthur asked in surprise.

"Uh, I didn't say anything!" Archibald asked in astonishment, "Then how did you get this blood tester?"

"Oh, it's like this." Arthur briefly told Archibald the general story of how he found it due to various accidents!
And listening to these, Archibald couldn't talk to himself for a long time!

"Isn't this too coincidental?" Archibald was silent for a long time before uttering a few words from his mouth.

"Yeah!" Arthur nodded and admitted, "I think it's a coincidence too!"

As he spoke, he changed his voice and said, "But... this is life, isn't it? Everyone's life is made up of countless coincidences, and I just happened to meet them!"

Hearing these words, Archibald seemed to be touched by something deep in his heart. Shan, after a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, he nodded and said, "That's right! Then you are from St. Martin now...?"

"King! I am the current king of St. Martin, Pendragon Arthur!" Arthur introduced himself.

"I see!" Archibald said after taking a deep breath, "In this case, let me tell you the story of me and your ancestor, Martin!"
