Marbas patiently explained to the Imperial Guard what the functions of his specially customized armor had through the holographic image. This was an order from the monarch, requiring Zero to understand the power armor that would accompany him throughout his life. When the Mars Foundry plan was completed, some people would return to Earth, be completely incorporated into the rule of the Imperial Guard, and specifically produce weapons for the Imperial Guard.

Zero knew that the monarch did not hand over all the technical reserves to Mars. If he passed the trial, the mechanics returning from Mars would have limited access to some taboo technology under the Imperial Guards, especially under his surveillance. In fact, Zero had browsed Kamataj's prison and the taboo technology brought back by the monarch under the guidance of the monarch. He knew that any of the things that were strictly detained could destroy the world, and limited research would be helpful to them to understand the future enemies.

Even if there is a dedicated person responsible for the ordnance of the Imperial Guard in the future, the Imperial Guard will learn to maintain weapons and armor by itself.

The Ulu metal energy cable from the dwarf cast planet, the vibrator transmission from Wakanda, the nerve probes and pulse fibers from the Tianshen Group should be checked and maintained, how to understand the problem through error codes, etc. The data volume of an imperial guard armor will never be less than a sky aircraft carrier, a large amount of metallurgical data, mechanical models and servo codes pass through the screen like a waterfall, and Zen's adjusted brain quickly understood the content. He could understand what kind of metallurgical achievements he had on his armor, what kind of mechanical structures such as the armor's shock absorption system, servo system, transmission system, etc. reflect the light of human wisdom. The gorgeous gems and sculptures of the armor cut by the craftsmen are just the most inconspicuous thing.

Zero discovered technology from the Brotherhood of the Saint Shield in the neural manipulation design, and found design from Stark Industry in the survival system and fire protection system. He was sure that the monarch did not pay any copyright fees to Stark Industry. As for the Brotherhood of the Saint Shield, the monarch had stored the bones of those human sages in the temple for people to admire. Even if those sages were still alive, they would praise the immortal city that practiced their philosophy.

Marl Bus’ mission is to let Zero fully understand the armor on his body, but Zero’s enhanced thinking ability found that the image of Marl Bus was somewhat abnormal. He then asked several classic Winograd test questions and obtained an unexpected answer.

"I promise that this program did not touch the ban." The holographic image suddenly closed, and then the projection of Marbus appeared again. However, this time the Marbus image was much more vivid.

"I know, I also know that Ultron is actually in your hands." Zero nodded, "The monarch forbids the improvement and research of Ultron, so the monarch must know this."

"He knows. He knows everything, boy." Marbus said in a mechanical synthesizer. Zero could not see Marbus' face blocked by a large number of detection instruments, nor could he guess his thoughts through plain electronic voice. "He is my monarch, and I have served him for more than a thousand years. Do you think he doesn't know me enough?"

The previous image of Marbus is just a combination of artificial intelligence models, similar to a manual with intelligence.

Even with the order of Salomon, Marbus was not willing to waste his time on an imperial guard who had not yet experienced all the trials. Instead, he used a program that barely touched the ban to complete the task, until Zero discovered his little tricks. Zero was not angry. He had contacted Marbus, he knew that it was a pragmatist, and he knew very well that he could only get the honor of the spokesperson of the monarch after the trials.

Before that, he was nothing.

"Even if that program did not violate the ban, you made more than one mistake." Zero said fearlessly. He stood up and looked down at the flashing holographic images. "First, you monitor the system that does not belong to you through the teaching machine. Second, you think that false reputation and power can make the candidates of the Guard bow their heads. I only obey the orders of the monarch, not yours."

He picked up the spare explosive gun that was placed aside and cleared the magazine towards the projection machine used for teaching.

Zero took a deep breath and planned to put on his armor to report the matter to the monarch. But after thinking for a few seconds, he gave up the plan, sat back to his position, and continued to lower his head to wipe the parts of the explosive gun in his hand, as if nothing had happened. The pungent smell of gunpowder mixed with vitamins and spirits in the room was just an illusion. As Marbus said, the monarch knew everything, let alone what happened in the Immortal City. He believed that the monarch could make his own judgment, and he did not intend to make an opinion on this before the monarch asked.

This recoil during fire can allow mortal users to have extremely complex mechanical structures, not to mention the data network connected to the nerve-controlled armor. Electronic components and chips are protected from being damaged by roughness. Zero can only maintain that part of the mechanical structure, and he must connect the data interface to the engineering computer to inspect the other part. He is thinking about children who have also become candidates for the Imperial Guards.

He was once one of them.

But now, he can't remember what his parents looked like. The two clearest faces in his memory are the Monarch and the head of the Biological Laboratory, Maya Hansen, who is responsible for genetic modification technology. Under the Monarch's time magic, the genetic alchemy that consumed a lot of resources quickly showed its powerful effect. The growth that should have lasted for hundreds of years flashed, turning him from a thin and short child to a strong adult. His body and mind were forcibly ripened in a short time and mastered a lot of knowledge in a very short time. The mortal girl of the Sisters must wear power armor to be able to take a small-caliber explosive gun and protect herself from recoil damage. He can pick up the standard-sized explosive gun used by the Imperial Guards with bare hands and can shoot directly without protection.

He will continue to grow taller and stronger until all subsequent surgeries are completed and he puts on his armor.

Trials are not only killing, and the monarch’s expectations of him are more than a tool to carry out violence.

He also has to go through the exams that ordinary people with higher degrees have experienced, read a mountain of books, extract their own wisdom from it, become the counselor of the monarch, as the direction and result of future human evolution. A developed brain, a strong body and a superb wisdom. This is what those sisters obsessed with destruction and service cannot do, and it is also the most fundamental reason why the monarch makes him a candidate for the Imperial Guard. What his master wants is not destruction but construction, but few people can understand it.

Zero began to extend his thinking.

In many civilizations myths and legends, a large part of the reason why God created only intelligent species was to create creatures that could understand themselves. So was the original motivation of the monarch to create the Guards because mankind could not do this? However, those superstitious myths express only human fear of incomprehensible fate and the natural force that dominates life and death. As the Guards, he should not have such ignorant ideas.
