Chapter 450 Machine Soul!
As Motuo gradually approached the orbital defense platform, something unexpected happened. The plasma railgun, which was originally resistant to the control of engineers, seemed to suddenly become much docile.
When Motuo stepped into the orbital defense platform, he saw that the plasma orbital cannon, which had been motionless before, began to slowly rotate its huge barrel under the hard work of the engineers.
Unfortunately, even though Motuo had entered the orbital defense platform, the plasma railgun had only completed half of the muzzle rotation and refused to continue to change direction, no matter how the engineers controlled it.
Motuo opened his eyes wide, looking at the scene in disbelief.
As he approached the plasma railgun, the plasma railgun, which had been motionless, actually turned half a circle easily under the operation of the engineer!
This sudden change shocked Motuo greatly. He subconsciously reached out to rub his chin, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
"What on earth is going on?" Motuo muttered to himself, his heart full of doubts and confusion.
Although the plasma rail gun had successfully rotated half a circle, there was still a clear gap between it and the ideal position to attack the Mechanicus warships. The firing range was far from enough to attack the Mechanicus warships.
What was even more surprising was that just as Motuo approached, the plasma cannon that had been out of control and continuously firing in the hands of the engineers also stopped attacking under the control of the engineers, and the entire cannon body was as quiet as a sleeping beast.
Aishilia, who was walking closely behind Motuo, was now staring at the corpses scattered all over the ground in the defense platform.
She recalled the scene when everyone rushed in. Hundreds of servitors were surrounding the plasma railgun, devoutly performing binary prayers and ignoring everyone's attacks.
As Ai Xiliya stared at the bodies lying on the ground, various possibilities flashed through her mind.
Finally, she slowly spoke and expressed her guess:
"Could it be that... all this is due to the so-called 'Machine Soul' of the Mechanicus? Perhaps only the Machine Soul they believe in can explain this strange phenomenon! Only under the control of the Machine Soul can various weapons and equipment gain self-awareness."
"Machine Soul?" Motuo stopped stroking his chin and recalled the information he had seen related to the Mechanicus.
Since its founding, the Mechanicus has banned technologies related to artificial intelligence. Instead, it believes that any mechanical creation has its own soul, and has a firm belief in this, and will perform various cumbersome prayer rituals.
Moreover, after praying for these machines, they will indeed exhibit various magical phenomena, and when warships are sailing in the subspace, they can indeed enhance their resistance to the subspace.
Moreover, the grenade launchers in the hands of the Space Marines who are devout to the Machine Spirit originally only have thirty bullets, but they can fire hundreds of bullets when the battle is fierce, which makes people believe in the existence of the Machine Spirit.
"Heh! Machine Spirit? In front of the powerful Forbidden Magic Field, what kind of waves can it stir up? It's just a pitiful creature at the mercy of others!"
A trace of contempt and ridicule flashed in Motuo's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer.
His deep and majestic voice came through the communication channel, clearly reaching the ears of every Space Marine:
"Attention all Space Marines! Immediately proceed to the various energy nodes of the plasma railgun and garrison them. I want to see how this so-called Machine Spirit can resist under the suppression of the Forbidden Magic Field!"
"Yes!" A uniform response sounded instantly.
I saw figures rushing out like lightning and quickly heading towards the direction of the plasma rail cannon.
Some of the Space Marines started the jet engines of the power backpacks on their backs without hesitation, and a deafening roar sounded.
With the help of the huge thrust generated by the jet pack, they suddenly leaped up and actually jumped dozens of meters away, rushing towards the central energy node of the upright plasma railgun at an astonishing speed.
Some Space Marines also displayed extraordinary skills and agility. With their bare hands, they climbed up the towering plasma turrets as nimbly as monkeys, and occupied various key energy nodes steadily in the blink of an eye.
Before long, all the Space Marines successfully arrived at the various energy nodes of the plasma railgun.
Medog once again gave orders to the engineers: "Continue to operate the plasma railgun."
"Yes." The engineer nodded in response and began to operate the plasma railgun again.
This time, the plasma railgun was like an obedient cat in the hands of the engineer. The engineer easily controlled it to change direction and aimed directly at the battleship of the Mechanicus.
Seeing that the plasma railgun could be easily controlled this time, the engineer looked at Medog with joy: "It can be controlled, Captain Medog."
Medog said calmly: "Attack!"
"Yes!" The engineer nodded respectfully in response.
Under the tense and orderly operation of the engineers, the plasma railgun began to gradually show its true power.
There was a heart-pounding electric light flashing around the gun body, as if announcing to the world that it was about to release the power to destroy the world.
Time passed minute by minute, and after ten minutes, with the last bit of energy being successfully gathered, the plasma railgun finally completed the energy condensation process!
At this moment, the plasma railgun was like a long-dormant beast, ready to unleash its fury at the mere command.
"Swish--" accompanied by a sharp scream, a huge and dazzling blue plasma beam like a dragon instantly ejected from the muzzle.
This beam of light was like a lightning that cut through the dark night sky. With unparalleled momentum and energy, it rushed at an astonishing speed towards the Mechanicus warship outside the orbit of the Dokla Forge World.
In an instant, it seemed that the entire galaxy was illuminated by this blue light.
When the plasma beam collided with the void shield of the Mechanicus warship, there was a deafening sound.
"Boom!" The powerful impact force caused the Void Shield to bear unimaginable pressure in an instant. At this moment, the Void Shield began to tremble violently, and ripples continued to appear on it, as if it would break at any time.
At the same time, the members of the Mechanicus who were rushing to the No. 1 Orbital Defense Platform also noticed the change in the direction of the plasma railgun's attack.
The expressions on their faces instantly turned into horror, and one of the high-ranking priests even shouted anxiously at the top of his voice:
"Hurry! Hurry! Those damned heretics have already seized control of the plasma railgun and launched an attack on our battleship!
We must regain control of the plasma railgun before they completely destroy our battleship!"
"Yes." The members of the Skitarii and various mechanical servants following behind the Mechanical Priest responded in a deep voice and rushed towards the Orbital Defense Platform No. 1 at an even faster speed.
