Chapter 2227 Communication with Machines
Virat was very particular about the whole thing.
He didn't give any autonomy to the team at the moment. The elders and instructors whose egos were so beat up because of this protested harshly to the Deans. But the Deans didn't give a hoot.
They only had one answer for them.
'That same kid beat you all to actually dismantling the bird puppet of the hub. So, technically he had the lead on all of you. We always have been seekers of knowledge and believed that whoever holds more knowledge is fit to be the leader and teacher of that subject.
How come it is changing when the said person with more knowledge is just a bit weaker in cultivation?"
This answer kept them all dumb.
They didn't know what to say. It is not that none of them never followed that rule. It has always been the rule of Sanatan realm and they actually followed it in many cases. They were even taught by students in some cases.
But most of the time, they are only fourth grade students who held lectures or gave them guidance. That was the only age gap and power gap they were willing to swallow. Anything more than that is too bitter.
On top of that, Virat's indecisive nature is not helping the situation at all.
After some time, feeling the impatience of all these people, he finally made a decision.
"All of you re dismissed for now. I suggest that you guys go back and work on the bird puppets first. Since the puppets are connected to the hub and even tallies your score from various machines in the hub you might have good luck finding that connection.
Meanwhile, I will search for the core, or activating mechanism or anything that helps us achieve this using my method.
Within one day, if I can't do it, we will do it the most agreed up on way among your suggestion."
Only that calmed the crowd and everyone was dismissed. Some of them, mostly students stayed behind as they tried to examine Virat's methods.
Virat used the same pen that he used to dismantle the bird puppets as he examined various parts of the hub.
The problem at the moment is, that the machines and the rest of the hub are not active. However, the thousands of layered foramtions inscribed on the equipment to conceal and even destroy it if there is any forceful prying, are active.
Virat suddenly felt like he saw a million new doors open up for him.
And this is just from separating the components that are not even at the core of the machine yet. He has yet to dismantle these components a bit more and understand the mechanisms within. He has yet to go deep into the core of the machine and find the connection that leads to the core of hub.
He has yet to understand how all of those work.
He felt like he has his tasks lined up for the next decade or so at least.
As Virat succeeded in dismantling these layers and machines without triggering any nasty reaction, more and more people saw hope.
Even though there are a lot more skilled people with bigger brains in the team, including the elders, they all felt like they hit a steel plate when they tried to dismantle the machine.
Only after the way Virat worked did they understand, where they are lacking.
It is the thought process.
In their eyes what Virat is doing now didn't just look like some dismantling, it felt like he was communicating with that machine. Even if they felt that and wanted to try it by themselves, they weren't able to do it as well as him.
Following that thought process and the ideas left behind by Virat, they managed to dismantle the bird puppets and started experimenting on the transmitting mechanism it used to share the info with the hub.
But that is the extent they can go right now. They are not confident enough to go and crack open one of the machines in the hub without disturbing them completely.
Of course, not all of them shared the same sentiment. One of the elders, who was dissatisfied with Virat's method thinking, decided to take a more radical yet well engineering approach.
"I am going to build a Negation device."
He told his team who looked at him like they just heard some foreign language they don't understand.
"The problem comes with the concealment formations working like this in this interwoven network. The mechanism of the machine itself might be intricate and beyond our complete comprehension. But it is not like we can't even see it with our spiritual senses and observation skills, when the concealment formations are not there.
Once the structure is apparent to our vision, then we can do the dismantling much faster after we experiment with it a few times with a simulated projection."
Still, his team didn't understand.
The elder facepalmed and decided to explain while getting started on the work.
