Infinite Metaverse

Iron Castle, Data Recording Hall.

Fu Qinghai watched Olian sitting in front of his workstation and searching for relevant information. Iron Castle is one of Cybertron's major data network nodes. Analogous to the real world, it is equivalent to the three major domain name root servers of Peking, Tokyo and Dulles on Earth.

A large amount of data is stored here as well as related network hardware equipment. Imaging No. 1 is located here, and the magic ball is also here. Orion Pax has the corresponding authority to access all past data - from this perspective, it is not wrong for Megatron to call him a "librarian". Orion Pax's role is indeed similar to that of a library Library administrator. You are looking for the right person to inquire about the Armored Dragon Rail Station.

But in Fu Qinghai's view, Iron Castle seemed to be executing an open Prism plan, responsible for assisting the Supreme Council in eavesdropping and monitoring all Cybertronians openly. Orion Pax is more like an auditor, but this auditor is not very responsible in his work and has strong personal independent thinking. Sometimes Fu Qinghai can't help but think: It would be great if various online platforms in the real world were audited like Orion Pax.

"Not found."

Orion Pax said with a serious look:

"Part of the historical data about the Ironclad Dragon Orbital Station has been artificially erased, and it was done recently, because I still have some vague impressions of this piece of data."

"Deliberately erasing this part of the information means that the Armored Dragon Orbital Station must be hiding some secrets."

Fu Qinghai said.

The two of them were at a loss.

Suddenly, Master Titanium informed Orion to go there, so Orion left Fu Qinghai to surf the Internet alone, and then went to the top floor of the Iron Castle data recording hall.

…

Iron Castle, on the top floor of the data recording hall.

"You know Megatron better than anyone. If you could make suggestions to the Conclave, what would you say?"

Master Titanium asked.

"Supreme Council? If it were me..."

Orion Pax couldn't answer for a moment.

The Supreme Council finally wants to talk?

After the disappearance of the natural enemy, this bloated and slow bureaucracy finally realized that the turbulent public opinion could not be disobeyed? It never occurred to him to advise the Supreme Council himself. However, the more seriously you think about it, the more natural it becomes. He knew Megatron and could provide a useful perspective.

"Archives Manager."

Orion Pax said seriously:

"If Megatron and I appear before the Supreme Council at the same time, I will assume the responsibility of being an intermediary and explain my own understanding of the current situation, but they should listen directly to Megatron's opinion."

Master Titanium fell into deep thought.

"Maybe."

Master Titanium finally said.

"Will you contact the council for me?"

Orion asked expectantly.

"People from different classes have different times to attend the Supreme Council."

Master Titanium replied calmly.

"Fuck different times!"

Orion Pax became angry when he heard this:

"Now that Soaring City has been occupied, and the Natural Enemy has disappeared, Megatron wants to plunge Cybertron into civil war. How long has it been since then that he is still emphasizing different classes!?"

"You misunderstood, I don't want to mention the class thing. As early as the beginning of its implementation, I was very unfavorable to this system." Master Tai said, "But since they exist, we have to deal with them, especially now. What we are brewing This meeting will affect the Supreme Council to a great extent. It will not work if you hold on to the idea just now no matter where you go, Orion Pax, you should think more and don't act out of emotion."

Orion Pax thought this sounded ironic for a moment. Megatron said he thinks too much and feels too little. Master Tai said that he was too emotional and too little thinking. Maybe that means he needs to find a decent middle ground.

“But what needs to be done must be done.”

Orion Pax said seriously:

"I would be very grateful if you could indeed contact the Conclave, Archivist."

Master Titanium sighed: "I will."

Orion Pax left Master Titanium's office, thinking about what the archivist had said along the way: As early as the beginning of its implementation, I was very dissatisfied with this system.

How old is Master Titanium? Could it be that he is...

This is impossible. Orion Pax shook his head and rejected his idea. Even if the Thirteen Ancestors really existed, they are all dead now. That was a long, long time ago. Besides, there is no point in holding on to this doubt.

…

Orion talks to Megatron.

After a long period of hands-on fighting teaching, Orion now has great trust in Fu Qinghai. He no longer avoids Fu Qinghai when talking to Megatron on the phone, and even regards Fu Qinghai as his aide and adviser.

Orion and Megatron had another disagreement.

"The Supreme Council has noticed us. When you are put in shackles and brought before the Supreme Council for trial, we will see if you will still be so stubborn."

Orion said coldly.

"Who will bring me to the Supreme Council for trial? Will it be you? I don't think so." Megatron said, "You can belittle my actions, but after such a long time, you have not stopped me, that is to say Ultimately, you agree with me. You want to get there just as much as I do, you're just not happy with the process necessary to get there."

Orion Pax was angry again. He knew that Megatron was testing him, wanting to see where his bottom line was without destroying the friendship between the two.

We do share a lot of ideas, Orion Pax thought. And more importantly, to prevent small differences from disrupting the big picture, a Cybertronian without a class system must be established, allowing every Cybertronian to start from the moment they leave the Well of Fire until the fire returns to the Creator. , can freely choose their own life path.

"I'm not kidding you. After thirteen major cycles, we can go to see the Supreme Council."

Orion Pax said.

"very good."

Megatron said:

"We should go to the Supreme Council and state our views there. I don't like chaos, brother, but you noticed before that our conversations were not monitored by the communications grid and could not be heard by the Council. And we can't change anything. Now they won't ignore us anymore, we will speak in the Great Chamber and the whole Parliament will be our audience. Do you know why this is happening?"

"When you say that terrorists make you more popular, you are referring to this result, right?"

Orion Pax sighed.

"Yeah, man. It works."

There's really no denying it, Orion Pax thought.

"Okay." He said, "I hope all those who died in the serial bombings can find comfort."

"If their deaths can give us the opportunity to meet with the Supreme Council and have equal dialogue without a full-scale civil war, then at some point in the future we will understand that those sacrifices were worth it."

Megatron said calmly.

"But they did not choose to sacrifice, Megatron. Doesn't this matter about autonomy and freedom? It would be too rash for you to sacrifice others for your own goals!"

Orion retorted.

That's right.

Fu Qinghai thought to himself.

Orion Pax talked about the crux of the problem, sacrifice, sacrifice, what is sacrifice? Voluntarily giving one's life for a certain ideal is called sacrifice. Under the banner of righteousness, being generous to others and using the lives and deaths of others to awaken a sleeping society and nation is not called sacrifice, but many refined and self-interested people do. Use this reason to justify yourself.

In the Warhammer 40K universe, Inquisitors and Chapter Masters have the power to issue extermination orders to completely annihilate the entire planet's population. They all have reasons - either to prevent Chaos contamination or to block alien invasion... It's understandable, but! This kind of behavior can never be called sacrifice and dedication. They sacrificed other people's lives and did not ask others if they were willing. This is a cruel and helpless choice, not a spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and does not deserve to be praised and praised.

Megatron thought for a moment.

"Yes, brother, you are right." Megatron looked at Orion and said seriously, "Maybe it is too rash, that's why I cherish my friendship with you so much. There are some things that I forget easily, can you Keep me awake."
