“Teacher Ye Hongmian once said that in the Star Field Alliance, the research on consciousness transfer had always been the focus of attention.
“As a mecha with its own consciousness, the forbidden mechas were watched by the major organizations of the Star Field Alliance ever since they were born. Everyone wanted to obtain the forbidden mechas and study the difference between mechanical consciousness and human consciousness. They wanted to observe how the consciousness moved inside the media’s body.
“In order to ensure its own safety, Scarlet Demon had been staying on the origin planet.
“This was because the Seven Star Fields had signed the Origin Planet Development Convention, which stipulated that no individual or organization in the Seven Star Fields was allowed to interfere with the development of the origin planet. It was strictly forbidden for any advanced mecha master or above to enter the origin planet without authorization.
“Although Scarlet Demon was powerful, it was outnumbered. In addition, it did not want to engage in meaningless battles, so it had been hiding on the origin planet.
“However, even on the origin planet, there were law enforcement teams from the Star Field Alliance and external forces who bribed the higher-ups of the republic to keep an eye on his every move.
“Therefore, Scarlet Demon spread the news that the forbidden core existed and deliberately exaggerated the effects of the forbidden core. He said that the forbidden core was a treasure that surpassed the forbidden mecha and that possessing it could solve the secret of longevity.
“In fact, the forbidden core was the brother of the forbidden mecha. Back then, after going through an extremely complicated procedure, Teacher Mur aka obtained a stream of mechanical consciousness by chance.
“She took one of them and created a forbidden mecha. She kept the other part to see if there was a way to cultivate the remaining stream of consciousness.
“However, before he could study it, she was attacked by many forces. The remaining stream of consciousness was the forbidden core.
“No matter what, Scarlet Demon’s plan had a certain effect. After it publicized the forbidden core, it did receive less attention.”
Ning Shi nodded and thought to himself.
Ever since he heard Ilya’s explanation of how a medium world broke through to a large world, he had a new understanding of the situation in the Titanium Pole World, especially the status of the origin planet.
According to the standards of the Star Field Alliance, the origin planet was an abandoned planet with no value.
Even if the origin planet was the origin of human civilization and had a certain symbolic meaning, in the face of absolute benefits, this symbolic meaning was not very useful.
Why did it seem like the major forces of the Seven Star Fields did not dare to interfere with the development of the origin planet?
The strongest planet in the First Star Field, Banner Planet, had more than 100,000 advanced mechas and hundreds of titled mechas.
This kind of force could easily send an advanced mecha to suppress everything on the origin planet, turning everyone on the origin planet into tools and working for them.
Why would they need to spend so many star field points to let the Norse Republic manufacture mechas?
Ning Shi did not think deeply about it before. He felt that all of this was the result of the special status of the origin planet and the checks and balances of the various major star fields.
Now that he thought about it, it was rather strange. The status and treatment of the origin planet were a little too strange. A plan to help the origin planet had been discussed for more than a hundred years before it came to a conclusion.
Also, the Origin Planet Development Convention restricted the various organizations and protected the free development of the planet.
Behind all of this, there were traces of human arrangements.
Ning Shi guessed that it must be the mecha masters who stood at the peak of the Titanium Pole World. After sensing the barrier and restrictions of the Titanium Pole World, they were searching for a way to break through.
When the Mysterious large world was destined to fall in level, these top-notch big shots vaguely sensed an opportunity to break through, and this opportunity was on the origin planet.
Therefore, these big shots supported agents on the origin planet and launched a war between the two cities, wanting to fight for control of the origin planet.
This was the true reason for the Battle of the Two Cities!
It was definitely not just because of the discovery of the super helium energy mine.
Although the Titanium Pole World was very technologically advanced, the nature of a strongman society was revealed.
A small number of big shots could turn the origin of human civilization, one of the most prosperous planets in the First Star Field, into a wasteland of war because of an illusory opportunity.
Tens of billions of ordinary people lost their lives..
