Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 255 - 106: Infiltration

According to Jin Zhong, the Great Book Collection is an independent building located on the east side of the Mechanical God Sect’s Holy Hall.

This building is divided into three levels, with the first level being a relatively public literature and history materials floor that all Holy Temple Guards can enter.

Going further down are the secret layer and the top-secret layer, where the Mechanical God Sect’s most classified knowledge and little-known information are kept.

Generally speaking, only religious personnel at the archbishop level can enter the second level, while the third level is only accessible to successive Saints, namely the Black-clothed Archbishop.

If the Mechanical God Sect indeed holds knowledge about the beast tide, then undoubtedly, this information and records would be placed on the third level.

How to enter the third level becomes the present difficulty.

He Shuo and his companion could, of course, use force to break through the defenses of the Great Book Collection and burst through the doors.

But such actions would be akin to declaring war, inevitably touching the bottom line of the Mechanical God Sect and triggering an unforeseen battle.

Once war starts, it’s impossible to stop in the short term.

For the Huaxia Army, although victory is within reach, the consumption of personnel and weapons, the distraction of maintaining a massive city, and dealing with the backlash of religious fanatics are all quite troublesome problems.

Therefore, before his faction becomes strong and ideological restructuring reaches its predetermined goals, He Shuo intends to avoid warfare as much as possible.

His plan is simple: Jin Zhong would carry the ultra-silent Hummingbird drone and micro base station into the first level, then wait for an opportunity to follow the Black-clothed Archbishop, or Jin Cheng, the "Saint," to the lower levels.

He is not at all worried about missing the opportunity.

The logic is quite clear.

If the Mechanical God Sect is indeed attempting to incite a beast tide, they would undoubtedly require a vast amount of data to support their actions.

Accessing the so-called "Great Book Collection" is necessary, and perhaps they might even take relevant materials out of the collection for direct operational reference.

This is his opportunity.

Of course, as Zeng Yi mentioned, if the opportunity does not arise and the plan fails, He Shuo still has alternative solutions.

Zhang Tao is a breakthrough point, and the multiple unmanned combat units in his possession are another.

With multiple paths pursued simultaneously, He Shuo doesn’t feel obtaining the information he wants will be too difficult.

What he needs to do is simply wait.

---- And Jin Cheng didn’t make him wait too long.

That night at 8 PM, He Shuo received the signal that the drone had been activated.

Then, the image transmitted back by the drone showed Jin Zhong’s large, nervous face.

At the same time, the drone’s microphone picked up the faint conversation and chanting sounds from the first level of the Great Book Collection.

"The soul of light pulsating in copper veins....

Woven remnants of starmaps as Holy Scripture....

Interpreting the ancient echoes of aphorisms....

Guiding the wayward currents back on course....

Granting us the key to communicate with the Mechanical Soul...

Laying the path of truth amidst chaos...."

"Forged by the Holy Trinity, the mechanical body is eternal....

Common origin of the Holy Trinity, all machines become one..."

Zeng Yi listened carefully to the prayer, and a moment later, he exclaimed:

"Does the Mechanical God Sect’s ’Holy Trinity’ refer to three different elements?"

"They previously mentioned steam and gunpowder, and now they’re mentioning electricity again."

"What does it mean, the ’three’ of the Holy Trinity refers to these three forces?"

Beside him, He Shuo nodded slightly and then said:

"This might be the doctrine upheld by fundamentalism."

"It’s just that in recent decades, the Holy Trinity has been deified into a unified entity."

"Tsk... What a trinity religious concept."

"It seems Zhang Tao was right; the entire Mechanical God Sect is heading down a path... of distortion."

"Let’s not worry about this for now."

He Shuo slightly adjusted the drone’s control stick, maneuvering the Hummingbird ultra-micro silent drone to slightly tilt the rotor, sending a "ready" signal to Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong seemed startled by the drone’s sudden movement but quickly calmed down, carefully picking up the drone and placing it in a position more conducive for takeoff.

Meanwhile, the drone base station was hidden in a concealed corner, covered with a large amount of clutter.

With everything ready, He Shuo immediately operated the drone to take flight.

Moments later, the entire layout of the first level of the Great Book Collection was fully visible on the drone’s screen.

It’s a large space no different from a regular library, with even the bookshelves appearing to be large alloy bookshelves moved from some library.

However, what was placed on the shelves were not the usual variety of books found in libraries of their era, but numerous, yet repetitive types of religious books.

Teachings, scriptures, standard prayer, hymns, and those obviously edited or even entirely altered "educational picture books."

The camera continuously zoomed in, scanning the books spread open on the table in the dim light, and the content made He Shuo frown.

"This is... a textbook on ballistics."

"The basic content is correct, but it’s certainly been heavily modified."

"The formulas are accurate, yet the complex calculations are missing."

"These people are attempting to simplify calculations... no wonder they can’t shoot straight."

"Electricity Oracle? Damn."

"The Mechanical God Sect indeed retains vast knowledge, unfortunately, it’s completely distorted knowledge."

"So, was religion born first, and then became distorted knowledge, or was knowledge distorted first, leading to the establishment of religion?"
