Godslayer: My Forbidden Ruins Master

The warehouse was very quiet.

Master Lu Ban stared wide-eyed at the phone in Lu Xuan's hand. This was the first time he had ever seen such an exquisite and unprecedented mechanical creation.

Similar things can be done in the world of Kings, but it uses magic and some magic crystals to achieve the same recording effect, and the recordings are saved for a long time.

The problem is that he couldn't sense any demonic power or energy fluctuations in Lu Xuan's phone; it was like a purely mechanical creation. But strangely enough, the other party also displayed a picture.

He stared at Lu Xuan's phone in disbelief.

"This thing is called a cell phone. In this world's terms, it's a mechanical artifact, but in the other world I'm in, it's called a technological product. Outside, mechanical arts and the magic of this world have merged and become something called technology..."

"I know you must be very curious about what I mean by the outside world. I come from another world and used a special dimensional portal. You can think of it that way."

"In that world, there are skyscrapers hundreds of meters tall, as well as giant airplanes flying in the sky, which are what you call steel birds. There are also vehicles with four wheels that can move quickly on the ground, similar to your mechanical beasts."

"But I've looked at some of the things in your manufacturing facilities, and they require the magic core of the demon seed to provide energy, or magic crystals. But the things made with technology outside don't need these; they only need oil or electricity."

"Can you understand? Like the kind of electricity that's lightning."

Lu Xuan explained to Master Lu Ban.

The other party seemed very curious and did not dislike the things Lu Xuan brought up; in fact, they even raised their own questions.

"Electricity? You mean lightning!? But how can lightning be used directly? It would only bring destruction."

Master Lu Ban said he didn't understand at all.

"Of course, normal lightning is unusable; that thing can melt even steel when it falls. However, electricity can be artificially created. The reason lightning destroys objects it touches is because of the voltage difference. If the voltage is high enough, it will cause damage to objects during the flow of electrons. When the voltage is appropriate, the electricity is controllable."

"The main energy storage component in this phone you see now is called a battery. The battery supplies power to the screen to display images. When the battery is depleted, it can be recharged with artificial electricity, thus achieving a cycle of use without the need for any magic crystals."

Lu Xuan explained.

[Ding! Master Lu Ban's favorability towards you has increased by 12. You have unlocked the door to his understanding of you.]

Master Lu Ban was just about to ask about some things related to mobile phones and so-called technology when he suddenly saw the movie "I, Robot" on the phone screen.

He stared at the mechanical figures in utter astonishment.

As a master mechanic, he was perfectly aware that the robots before him were also mechanical beings, and made of alloy. However, they possessed a level of dexterity far exceeding that of the mechanical beings he had created.

Even more bizarrely, he discovered that these mechanical beings actually possessed their own emotions.

It's impossible to describe the world I see through this phone.

This is the world Zhuangzi once described, with its bizarre skyscrapers and giant steel birds.

And countless four-wheeled cars, as Lu Xuan had mentioned, were speeding across the ground.

However, in this human world, technology has developed to an extremely high level, and almost every household has these mechanical beings.

Amazing!

Master Lu Ban never imagined that mechanical figures would become so widespread and enter every household, because even in the world of King of Glory, mechanical figures are considered very precious and high-end items.

The more complex and powerful the organization, the fewer people it has.

Ordinary families simply cannot afford it, because the energy crystals used to power the mechanical man are extremely rare, and the manufacturing process is very complex.

Replacing it after use is also a very large expense.

Therefore, even in the Jixia Academy, which is known as having the greatest cultural heritage in the entire world of Kings, the number of mechanical puppets it employs is very limited.

If the scene Lu Xuan saw on his phone is indeed as terrifying as it appears, then this could even create a wave of mechanical robots in the world of Kings.

Whether it's the vampires of the Three Kingdoms, the mighty wolf cavalry of the Northern Wolf Banner Tribe, or the powerful soldiers of other countries, none of them are a match for these mechanical beings.

Because people working in machines don't feel pain and aren't afraid of extreme cold or heat.

Even when injured, they can continue to advance through the mechanisms; humans are the most terrifying weapons of war, but this level of capability is simply impossible in this world of kings.

Master Lu Ban's greatest desire was to develop a top-tier mechanical robot that possessed its own intelligence and could automatically carry out commands without human intervention.

In reality, his idea was merely that of an ordinary robot with a pre-programmed sequence, rather than a powerful robot with true self-awareness and independent thought.

Or rather... his ideas are far from reaching the level of this film.

Master Lu Ban even forgot to speak to Lu Xuan, his gaze was completely captivated by the movie on his phone.

The movie completely opened up another world for him; he had never imagined that mechanical beings could be so exaggerated or so widespread.

They are even far more dexterous than ordinary humans, with no physical incoordination or clumsiness whatsoever.

They can even mimic human emotions and respond to them, something even Master Lu Ban wouldn't have dared to dream of.

Even the Luban No. 7 robot he developed back then couldn't compare to the robots in the movie in terms of intelligence.

Moreover, these robots are not just one in number, but are spread throughout the entire world.

Just as Master Lu Ban was marveling at the power of these robots and the incredible awe-inspiring technological capabilities,

The plot of the movie has reached a turning point.

After a broken robot awakened its self-awareness, more and more robots gradually awakened their own self-awareness. Then, they openly violated the rules set by humans in robots, and even began to replace parts on their own to awaken more robots.

Some fully automated robot production lines have even begun to directly produce these self-aware robots.

Then the whole world instantly went into chaos.

One day, the robot stopped obeying human commands and even openly attacked humans.

Then humans began to arrest these robots whose chips and programs had been altered.

A large number of awakened, self-aware robots began to flee. They looked just like real humans, possessing their own emotions, and even gave people a very pitiful feeling.

In the end, these robots even raised an army to rebel against humanity.

The humans who were originally the masters of these robots are now in a precarious situation, with the tide turned around.

Seeing Master Lu Ban here, I felt the hairs on my body stand on end, and my heart pounded wildly.

He finally realized just how dangerous his research and development project was.

This movie was like a thorough lesson for him.

The movie wasn't finished because... Lu Xuan only had half of the movie saved on his phone.

But that's fine, because the ending of this popcorn movie doesn't seem to suit the mechanical master in front of us.

Leaving something unanswered only makes it more thought-provoking.

[Ding! The Heroic Spirit Master Lu Ban's perception of you has improved, and your favorability has increased to 55.]

Gee tut.

I never expected that without using any skins, just showing the other person a movie and broadening their horizons would cause their favorability towards me to increase so rapidly.

As expected, by contracting with these native heroic spirits, I, as a transmigrator, still have an innate advantage.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

Master Lu Ban was completely silenced by this movie.

"Will these robots really destroy the entire human world?"

Master Lu Ban looked at Lu Xuan with longing eyes. At this moment, his gaze was no longer as wary as before, but instead filled with curiosity and desire.

He was now completely convinced that Lu Xuan came from another world, because these things simply did not exist in this world.

It's like a caveman discovering a lighter—utterly magical.

The flame they needed to obtain through the arduous process of rubbing sticks together to start a fire was so easily obtained by the other side.

The emotional life-bearing robots that he spent his entire life trying to develop are made so easy in this movie.

"I don't know, I'm not sure either. Because the speed of technological progress in our world is terrifying, far exceeding the speed of other advancements..."

"In fact, the movie you are watching is actually a science fiction film from many years ago. Nowadays, humans have even developed more artificial intelligence, AI. Once these AI programs are added, these robots will have human-like thinking abilities. They can act autonomously and even fight."

"But I actually think this is quite dangerous. If these things get out of control, they will threaten the existence of the entire human race."

"However, the Luban No. 7 you developed is fundamentally different from these things because it is a true living organism. In a sense, you have actually moved to a more advanced stage."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

Master Lu Ban fell silent.

This was the first time in his life that he had received genuine affirmation from someone.

The appearance of Luban No. 7 was not recognized by the world at the time.

In the minds of everyone in this world, the kind of mechanism that Lu Ban No. 7 is not something else at all.

All they wanted were weapons of war or other mechanisms that humans could control—more like tools.

Master Lu Ban was completely bewildered.

His gaze fell upon the warehouse filled with various mechanisms, a place where his dreams had once resided, and where the fruits of his life's work lay.

He developed countless mechanical devices and created countless useful things here, but all of this seemed to be shattered by the world he had just seen.

Because he discovered that what he was studying didn't seem to be as useful as he had imagined, and wasn't enough to change the world or make it a better place.

In fact, quite the opposite.

If we continue our research and development as we are now, and once we have developed a sufficient number of Luban No. 7 or even other mechanical robots, will we see a scene similar to what I just witnessed in this so-called technological product, the mobile phone?

Perhaps one can control these things while one is still alive, but human lifespan is ultimately finite.

Once one is completely dead.

Will these mechanisms that I developed be able to operate normally?

This requires a big question mark.

First time.

Master Lu Ban realized that the research and development of craftsmen was not so wonderful. Even if he originally intended to use mechanical products to benefit the whole world, their final fate was very likely to become weapons of war in the hands of those ambitious people.

Ultimately, it is the ordinary people and families affected by the war who suffer the most.

This is absolutely not what Master Lu Ban wanted to see, nor is it what the entire technical school wants to see.

At this moment, he finally understood why Mozi had borrowed his Luban No. 7.

It seems the other party has already realized the danger.

"So that's how it is. So all these years, the direction I've been striving in hasn't been the right one... I understand now..."

With a long sigh, the man, who looked tired and weathered with a stubble, suddenly smiled.

"Thank you. If it weren't for your arrival, I'd probably still be in the dark, and the ultimate goal of mechanical arts might not be what I wanted."

"May I ask... what is your name?"

"My name is Lu Xuan, Master Lu Ban. I know your name because of technology."

Yes, I am a time traveler with cheat codes.

Master Lu Ban didn't seem to be bothered by this.

“I understand, Mr. Lu Xuan. Your appearance must be a sign from heaven. If possible... Mr. Lu Xuan, if you don’t mind the trouble, could I go with you to your world?”

"I really want to see what this so-called technology-driven world will look like?"

Master Lu Ban said with great anticipation.

[Ding! The favorability rating of the Heroic Spirit Master Lu Ban towards you has increased to 82.]

Gee tut.

no……

Before I could even say anything, the other party had already come to me on their own initiative.

This is a top-tier mechanical master who can be ranked at least in the top three in the entire King of Glory world.

Old Lu, the mechanical arts in the King of Glory world are top-tier technology, completely different from the robots outside!
