Delia was sitting in the co-pilot of the cab and told Rebecca that their equipment had been put into production line and tens of thousands of optimized communicators would be produced soon.

"That's really good. You know that in order to consider your current production, I have used the lowest design and materials as much as possible."

"Is our current equipment really that backward?"

"Oh ho ho~ dear." Rebecca reduced the volume of the music and continued, "You are not even close now."

"Look at this antique!"

Dong Dong Dong, Rebecca knocked on the iron plate of the console with his fist, "We have eliminated these designs for hundreds of years... Of course you may not have any idea. During the expansion period of the Federation, United Earth Government proposed that everyone should have a cheap ship. So this old man was born! Most of the things you use now are civilian equipment from our time. God knows how you found these junk."

Rebecca put his arms around Delia to comfort him, "But you guys did a great job! The universe wasn't so chaotic back then!"

"Was it peaceful then?"

"Uh... maybe?" Rebecca showed a subtle expression. Human Federation was not afraid of anyone at that time. The united and confident people crushed all the hostile forces. There was only Aeldari Empire who could not find his place in the universe, and the Xenos servant country that was conquered by the Federation's power.

As for the Trazyn that controls oneself, a Necrons? There are too few records about these things Human Federation. She is just an artificial intelligence tinkered by a scientist in a research laboratory, or a companion used to solve the problem of loneliness.

Her knowledge reserve is only connected to the surface network. As for the deep network used by high-level military and government officials, she does not have permission to access it.

But seeing how half-dead and backward Imperium is now, the little toys on the surface network are enough for them to ponder for a long time.

"Well, it's useless to say this. Come listen to the song with me! This is the most popular song during the Federation period. <Every BYD song is my favorite>. When I was a kid, I cried when I heard this song."

"Do you also have a story from your childhood?"

"Everyone said this at that time, but it may be difficult for you to understand now. After all, Imperium is so heavy, and human life is so painful. We used to be rich and powerful, but sometimes life was very boring, so we would choose some abstract and complete things to satisfy ourselves."

"Abstract?"

"How can I explain it to you... It's probably like dancing on Holy Terra?"

"... This is not abstract, is it? This is blasphemous... He will implicate his home planet. Imperium High Lord will investigate what kind of culture his planet has, and then kill everyone on it."

"Okay..." Rebecca was silent for a while. She had to think of an example that Delia could understand. So she told Lin Fan's behavior as a priest at the wedding, asking Marian and Sha Si to pray to the Emperor for happiness.

"Soap At the wedding, he did not say any the Emperor quotations, nor did he say the marriage vows. He stood on the stage, with the Emperor golden light falling behind him, and the majestic and sacred mass resounded in the venue. Then he solemnly swayed his body in a regular but meaningless rhythm."

"This kind of thing is ridiculous to the extreme. No one's brain can accept such a ridiculous thing, so you start to find reasons for his absurdity. For example, his swing is a way for mortals to communicate with the Emperor, a divine will, and a connection between reality and Warp."

"Once the reason is generated, the absurd things begin to become serious and philosophical. In the quiet scene, the backlit figures are dancing, and the sacred music in the ears is advancing. No one can understand this behavior, so they understand it as a ritual. We call it - the deconstruction and reassignment of abstraction."

Delia frowned and looked at Rebecca for a while, then something suddenly clicked. She excitedly described to Rebecca a mechanical sage who studied ancient human philosophy and logic.

In Black Dragonfall Quadrant, there is a planet called Shenyang Street by ancient humans. It is full of weird and meaningless statues. After more than 500 years of sorting and analysis by the Great Sage, he submitted an article in a social science magazine "An Appreciation of the Culture and Social Behavior of Ancient Humans - Research on the Ancient Battlefield of Planet Shenyang Street"

"Oh? This is really interesting. So what's the conclusion?"

"... He believed that ancient humans were all younger brothers among younger brothers, and they were all precious things."

"Ah..." Rebecca fell into an awkward silence, remembering the era when everyone was working together, and looking back it was indeed a bit strange. "Okay, let's talk about you. You didn't look very happy just now."

Delia sighed and said that she wanted to continue learning Machine God's knowledge, but did not want to transform herself into a steel Gorgon like the Great Sage.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rebecca immediately thought of the quantum optical brain computing system, but she only had a concept of this thing. As a technological crystallization highly regulated by the federation, an unregistered small nanorobot like her had no chance to learn this kind of thing.

But there are still some ways, some stupid ways.

"I remember you could control simple machinery through logic tapes. Maybe you could make some external devices, like graphics card docks and external hard drives."

"You want me to make a huge database floating in the air? When scientific research is needed, I will incorporate the data?"

Rebecca smiled, how could she let Delia run around with a heavy database every day? She can optimize it!

A design drawing was quickly extracted. This was a learning machine designed by a certain toy company, and it had a cute character and a streamlined and smooth shell design.

"You can make the database like this, and just ask it to connect to your data when you use it. Although it will be a little troublesome, these little guys can also come in handy. I remember that when children played live shooting games, they would take out their learning machines and use them as reconnaissance aircraft."

Delia looked at the circuit structure on the design diagram and loved it. As for the cat-style casing, she ignored it.

"This is great. I can quickly create some databases and then slowly transfer the plug-ins on my body."

"Why are you so obsessed with this?"

Delia was a little shy. She hid her head under her burqa and only revealed one eye to look at Rebecca quietly.

"I asked Cain Commissar, and he said that he likes Felicia's humane look very much, and also likes her..."

After listening to Delia's description, Rebecca showed an evil smile, as if he understood it very well.

Felicia Tabor: One of Cain's harem. The reason she didn't accept the transformation was because she wanted to eat. Later, she even retained her esophagus after becoming a sage.
