Extra: And everybody
The morning air in Space City is always a little dry, and the breeze blows, although it is cool, but it does not have the natural sense of freshness.
'Utopia One', the first generation of purely mechanical structure Space City, has been modified many times, and even renovated from the inside out, but the circulation system is still not perfect, and the temperature is right, but it always feels as unnatural as an air-conditioned room. After all, it's an old thing, and it's normal to tinker with it and not be as good as new technology.
However, for Liu Rui'an, a 'heavenly native' born in Space City, this is the nature in his perception - the 'natural environment' of mountains, rivers, waters, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, worms, and even pollen and water vapor in the sky on the earth is not much better than hell.
"It's still a good sight to look at in Space City, if it's not necessary in this life, I'll never go back to Earth." After leaving the spaceport, Liu Ruian muttered to himself. After all, there is no other way than to modify the operation of the earth's air allergy, but since the operation is to be transformed, of course, it must be changed a little stronger, right? This cost is too much, even if it is a large contemporary, you have to contribute before you can have the corresponding permission to enjoy.
In short, it has nothing to do with him, a twenty-year-old young man who has just graduated from college.
"Ford, help with your luggage."
There are no people in the spaceport recently, which is normal, after all, the high-tech development zones of human civilization are all on Mars, and the surrounding areas of the Earth-Moon orbit are basically old towns, and the major government departments and military facilities are built here, Liu Ruian motioned to his robot butler to pick up the suitcase, and called an automatic scooter to sit straight on: "Go to Shangcheng District 1."
The housekeeper responded with a smile, he is AI, and the scooter driver is naturally also intelligent AI - of course, they are not the seventh level of artificial intelligence with citizen authority, that level of artificial intelligence works in major academies of science, and the AI generally used for service work is about five levels at most, which can complete a certain degree of intelligent communication and understand various metaphorical phrases, and most of the intelligent housekeepers who are the main hands of human beings are level six, and they can have citizenship rights if they are upgraded slightly.
In fact, many housekeepers in wealthy families enjoy citizenship.
After hearing Liu Rui'an's words, the scooter started directly and walked towards Area 1 in levitation.
Liu Rui'an, born in the space city of Hanging Moon 3, genetically adjusted, graduated from Interstellar 211 University, majoring in deep space engineering, his dream is to go to Mars to work in the 'Geita Energy Group', of course, the ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very cruel, in the era when all physical activities are replaced by intelligent robots, the requirements for creative work have become unprecedentedly high, the Geita Group is a first-class deep space exploration enterprise in the interstellar, and even has an independent exploration ship, how can this kind of large company be an ordinary college student can go.
Not to mention what advantages genetically modifiers have - for so many years in the Great Contemporaneous Era, there are few pure-blooded earthlings in the entire human civilization circle, and that is because they are born with perfect genes and do not need to be modified, and those who are not genetically modifiers are a minority...... After all, ordinary flesh and blood are short, and mechanical and genetic modification are immortal.
So in order to accumulate enough qualifications and knowledge, Liu Ruian could only give up his illusions, go back to the earth circle under his father's arrangement, find an ordinary deep space engineering studio to work, and slowly change jobs in the future - speaking of which, the company is not ordinary, although it was opened by Yingzhou people, and now it is not very famous, but the name of 'Saotome Studio' is quite loud among the older generation, and my father seems to have spent a lot of relationships to stuff himself into it.
Let's go back and give Daddy a gift in the future - what does he like......
In the same era, people can choose not to work, enjoy a life of freedom, and just need to have fun, but to be honest, this is the logic of the older generation, for the real Datong new human beings, 'work', 'be needed' and 'be recognized' are the real luxuries. For new humans, who are born with great resources, they will only feel happy if they are 'recognized' by society.
"Aren't they bored? What is the difference between endless pure pleasure and injecting hormones directly into the brain......"
The speed of the scooter is not fast, but it is absolutely stable, Liu Ruian can see rows of houses passing by his side, and the adjuster's eyesight comparable to that of a goshawk can clearly see that those houses have been 'closed', which means that its owner has given up his physical body in the real world and chose to throw himself into the electronic world, which can't help but sigh.
This is the old city of the Great Tong era, and most people enter the 'Earth-Moon Zone' of the cyber world.
'Utopia No. 1' Space City is actually quite dynamic, Liu Ruian can see that there are still many people in the center of the city, you know, some space cities are simply a super-large warehouse, storing all kinds of wet computers, except for the daily maintenance of AI, there is no physical body at all.
After all, Space City is not big, and the scooter will soon come to District 1, which is the central residential area. Housing allocation has long been a practice, unless there is really no vacancy, otherwise anyone can choose a local house to use wherever they go. Of course, the dwelling will not be yours after you leave, and generally speaking, only those with high authority who have made contributions will be able to enjoy multiple fixed dwellings at the same time - this is certainly not unfair, and if nothing else, how many houses can the lead researcher of the seventh generation hyperspace engine live in? The Earth Federal Science Council wishes that everyone is so powerful, and the human conquest of the galaxy is probably just around the corner.
In District 1, the scooter left, and Liu Ruian and his machine butler Ford took the mind and came to a small building. If you are an ordinary citizen without contribution, the natural housing benefit is only 'one suite', but as a 'college graduate' who has proven his ability to contribute to human civilization, Liu Ruian can enjoy a small building to himself.
After instructing Ford to put his luggage away, Liu Ruian stretched and prepared to walk around to see who the neighbors around him were.
"It's better to have some common topics, not to mention understanding deep space engineering, it's also good to be able to play 'Continent of Discord'."
Liu Ruian still remembers that when he lived temporarily in the moon city on the 66th, no one played Bihong fantasy for a long time, and finally had no choice but to abandon the pit and play the painful experience of the continent of strife - he is not a person who can soak in the virtual network all day long, wouldn't it be better to communicate in reality, have a meal together, and go to the scene to buy and buy the peripherals?
Speaking of which, he is neither big nor small, and he can be regarded as a 'master of extreme intention', although it is not as legendary as the full legend of that group of professional players, but in the version of "Continent of Discord: Death Catastrophe", extreme intention is already considered a high-end personnel, and he can take on the 'World Assistance Mission'.
Retracting his idea for the game, Ryan looked around, but didn't find anything interesting. Although there is less 'isolation' here, there are not many living people living in it...... I'm afraid most of them are having fun in the center of the city, right? Speaking of which, it seems that I did see an advertisement for the 'Fairy Card Offline Tournament'. Alas, he really can't do this, he really can't help it.
But, walking and walking, for some reason, Liu Ruian came to a strange building.
"Hey, what kind of architectural style is this, it occupies a lot of land!"
For some reason, just by looking at it, Liu Ruian felt frightened, he raised his head and looked at the architectural plaque that was very quaint and strange for the contemporaries of mankind: "The first in heaven and the world...... Invincible ......"
"Qiao's Martial Arts Pavilion."
Martial arts hall?
That's what the hell it is.
Why is this martial arts hall so large that it occupies an area of seven or eight buildings—no, what kind of building is this? What kind of person has this permission to monopolize such a big place!
There were doubts in his heart, but Liu Ruian didn't bother rashly, he could see that this martial arts hall was not closed, and there should be a living person with a body inside, in this case, next time I came to visit with a gift.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruian returned to his house - the housekeeper Ford had not only laid out all the psychology according to his preferences, but was even stewing curry. Although the food of the motherland is good, how can there be curry to save trouble, while waiting for his second meal today, he closed his eyes, the chip in his brain was activated, and he entered the 'star network'.
The Internet,Although the thing is changing with each passing day,But the essence has not changed,Although some people on the side of Mars say every day,You can connect to the star network without relying on chips,And even communicate with people's consciousness,But that's obviously just fake news.,The illusion caused by diving into the game and playing more.,After all, where does the reality come from?,Psychic communication is coming.,It's better to say it's cyber-transformed radio wave communication.,There's no scientific common sense at all.。
After searching for the word 'martial arts', Liu Ruian couldn't help but have a feeling of sudden realization - it turned out to be a place used by ancient earthlings to sharpen their bodies, exercise their will, and learn skills, just like a school. In that case, it should be the prototype of various genetic modification groups today, and the owner of Qiao's Martial Arts Hall should be the manager of a large genetic modification group, so it is reasonable to occupy such a large place.
"It's a pity, I'm more inclined to cyberize, after all, it's a bit difficult to genetically modify to operate in deep space." muttered, Liu Ruian didn't pay much attention to it - what's wrong with the leaders of large companies, everyone's personalities are equal, if the authority is low, hug the thighs, what's the big deal!
What's more, the Geta Group he wants to go to is a deep space energy company, and it has nothing to do with genetic modification...... In fact, it is still a little related, but it can't affect the future, so don't worry too much, just lick it, don't care too much.
"It's better to bring some gifts next time...... Qiao's should also be from the Zhenghua area, so I should bring some food made by myself? I'm not a very good cook, but at least I'm about the same as Ford. ”
Originally, Liu Ruian planned to let Ford make a little heart and send it over, but who doesn't have an AI housekeeper maid? It's a bit more sincere to do it yourself, not to mention that I was going to give one to each of the neighbors around me, and it must be my own hands to show friendship.
——Before concentrating on your own things, first build a good relationship with everyone, so that no one will bother you when you are doing things——The old Liu family's family motto, looking at his father's expression, is obviously summed up after a lot of hardships.
"Ford – help me order a batch of pure, selected raw beef!"
"Yes, sir. What are you going to make? ”
"You don't have to do it, I'll do it myself."
The pie is naturally delicious with meat filling. Liu Ruian was not idle, while preparing to go to Saotome's studio, he was seriously chopping the stuffing and kneading the dough - the middle process was omitted, and the pie was ready.
"I think when I practiced cooking, people around me praised me, but unfortunately I couldn't go beyond the limit of AI and reach the 'professional level'."
In the same era, everything that the sixth-level AI can do, even if it is playing ball and cooking, belongs to the 'amateur level', and only by exceeding this standard can it be regarded as a profession and get the right to 'work'.
Liu Rui'an's professional knowledge has naturally reached the eighth level of the major, and he only needs to advance two more levels to reach the 'elite' level, at that time, there is also a chance to work in the Gaita Group, but unfortunately, many people are stuck at these two levels all their lives. As for cooking, Liu Ruian also has an amateur level 9, if it was in the old earth era, he would be a chef.
As for the chefs of this era, that is, the top of the 'professional', the 'elite' level, the only criterion is that the food will shine after it is made. I don't know if it's a false rumor, Liu Ruian was skeptical when he heard his friend's words, but his friend's conviction was too convincing, so he couldn't help but believe it.
With the gift, Liu Ruian first visited the neighbors around - most of them were ordinary people, the two sides scanned each other's chip information even if they knew each other, and after receiving the gift, they smiled and greeted him, thinking that they would mention something to him in the future, rather than being rejected as a stranger.
Finally, he walked towards the strange martial arts hall.
To be honest, Liu Ruian is really curious about what the martial arts hall is like, is it full of genetic modification warehouses, or is it a bit like a flesh and blood laboratory? If it's the latter, it doesn't feel like a meaty pie is the right thing, which he just thought.
"Hello, I am a new neighbor who just moved over, LRA530051 Liu Ruian, visiting with gifts."
“…… Come on in. ”
The door of the martial arts hall opened, and Liu Ruian, who looked curious, stepped into it like this.
However, there was a bit of a disappointment.
Why, there was nothing, just an empty yard and a small building in the back?
What a waste of so much vacant space!
Although he thought so, Liu Ruian didn't show it, he saw a figure in the courtyard, it should be the one who opened the door for him before, so he walked forward and looked at it.
Then he froze for a moment.
- It's beautiful...... No, it's so handsome!
It was a beautiful black-haired young man in a cyan uniform, his long hair was tied into a ponytail, his cyan eyes were bright and fierce, and the light was like a blue sky and blue sun, and it was like the incarnation of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder. In general, although he is very handsome, he knows at a glance that he is not a good object to provoke.
Although it is said that there is one genetic adjuster, all of them are handsome guys and beauties, but with the existence of this temperament, it is enough to be a touring superstar.
At this time, the beautiful boy was holding a broom and swept the floor for a while. Although I wonder why the other party doesn't do it with the housekeeper AI, everyone has their own quirks, and he Liu Ruian doesn't have so many mouths! was a little restrained because of those indifferent eyes, but Liu Ruian still had the courage to laugh and said, "Hello, I am the new condensation next door and came to meet you."
"Hmm...... New neighbor, the person you want to meet should be Master. ”
Raising his head and glancing, the beautiful boy continued to bow his head and clean, and said lightly: "Let's visit again next time."
"Master?"
It's another relatively novel word, but because of the information of the martial arts hall, Liu Ruian understands a little - isn't it just a teacher, the genetic modification technology in the earth era is not good, and every time the transformation is successful, it is like regenerating parents, so it is called a father in addition to the teacher...... It should be this source, right?
“…… Well, I'm a 'former' disciple of this martial arts hall, and I've long since graduated, so I don't usually live here. ”
When he said this, the black-haired boy seemed to have swept some stubborn garbage, so he frowned and poked it hard - I don't know if it was an illusion, Liu Ruian felt that something very grand was shaking, and there was a wail that ran through the distant time and space, affecting the infinite distance, but when he came to his senses, the other party was just an ordinary sweeper.
"This garbage is stubborn." The beautiful boy sighed in a low voice, "Why do I do these things?"
"In that case, I'd better wait for the next time the master comes back to visit—this friend, the gift will be given to you first."
Instinctively a little afraid of the strange hallucination, Liu Ruian couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then planned to withdraw. Sure enough, this is where the leader of the big group is, and the momentum is so oppressive that he can't breathe a little well.
But hearing this, the black-haired beautiful boy raised his head, glanced at Liu Ruian in surprise, and then smiled slightly.
"Your quality is not bad, your spiritual sense is very high, not only can you find here, but you can also feel the 'calamity'...... Well, although this gift doesn't mean much, your heart is very real. ”
He whispered, his voice was good, but for some reason, there seemed to be a little echo, as if it were transmitted from a great distance by many voices—and the feeling disappeared as soon as he thought about it: "For us, the mind is the most important thing."
"Okay, I'll make an exception for your gift."
- Make an exception to accept it? It's just a gift, is it necessary to exaggerate it......
When he was confused, he didn't know whether he handed it over or the other party took it away, anyway, in a daze, Liu Ruian found that he had entered the inner room of the martial arts hall, and he was sitting at the table, with a cup of clear tea placed in front of him.
"After receiving your gift, you are a guest, please take a seat."
At the other end of the table, there was the young man who had cleaned before, he was serving tea for himself, and he had no etiquette, so he took a sip very casually: "Let's go after drinking tea."
"Oh...... Good. ”
Sitting in place very restrainedly, Liu Ruian took a sip of tea - it was indeed delicious! Just take a sip, and I feel refreshed and refreshed, and I don't know how much higher than those energy drinks!
What is this new tea species? It is worthy of being a large-scale genetic modification group, this tea must be a high-authority special product, with this thing, you don't have to drink so many energy drinks when you write your own design!
But it was a little embarrassing to just drink tea without talking, Liu Ruian turned his head and looked around, as if he was planning to find some topic: "That...... This martial arts hall is huge. ”
"yes." The young man replied lightly, even with a sneer: "After all, there are a lot of people on Master's side, what kind of female butler weapon mount best friend with a large number of people, the place is not big, how can I live."
"I'm relatively lonely, I've been alone all these years, after all, if the apprentice doesn't fight, there's no way."
- So you also have land...... So why are you just one person? Liu Ruian wanted to ask this, but he felt that there would be something bad for him to say it, so he held back.
In order to alleviate this embarrassment, Liu Ruian scratched his head and thought about it, and remembered the plaque at the beginning, so he subconsciously asked: "By the way, the plaque at the door ......?"
"Master, he got it when he fought all the invincible opponents in the heavens and the earth at the Global Fighting Championship. At that time, I was still young, and it was a matter of time before I was adopted, and I don't know very well. ”
It seems that he has long known that Liu Ruian doesn't know, and the young man in Tsing Yi explained: "Now it's basically genetic martial arts, or armor fighting, and no one fights purely physically, so the gold content is not so big." But at that time, it was indeed a sensation, so that many masters who did not participate in the competition came to challenge - that is the origin of the invincibility in all directions. ”
"Well, the times are advancing......
Hearing such a reason, Liu Rui should have felt a trace of sympathy in his peace of mind - after all, the genetic martial arts and armor fighting in the new era are far superior to pure physical hand-to-hand combat countless times, but he doesn't know why, but he has a feeling of taking it for granted.
Why???
Liu Ruian was puzzled, but the young man in Tsing Yi nodded thoughtfully: "This spiritual sense is indeed not low, whether it is cultivating my way or practicing the teacher's way, it can be called a seed." Even if you continue to study as a researcher, you can achieve considerable results and become a teacher for a generation. ”
It's kind of interesting.
"Hey."
He came casually and said, "Are you interested in practicing martial arts?"
Learning martial arts?
Hearing this, Liu Ruian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment...... Martial arts, martial arts?
Heck, who would be interested in this kind of thing now, not to mention the genetic martial arts that perfectly integrates all the martial arts experience into the physical instinct, even if it is directly loaded with the experience of all the martial arts masters of the past through the electronic chip, it can easily make ordinary cyber people easily turn into fighting masters.
What's more, their joints and body flexibility are inhuman, and if they are not transformed, they are meaningless at all.
Although, the truth is this.
But I don't know why, Liu Ruian feels that it is very tempting.
How to say, I don't know why it's a little ......
"I want to learn."
The flesh was faster than he could think, and he replied directly, as if to prove that he was not impulsive, and he nodded seriously: "I want to learn."
"Okay, let's add a friend from the Discord Continent first-don't look weird, isn't your shirt a commemorative version of the Imperial Northlands, if you think about it, this is also a kind of 'cause and effect'."
To Liu Rui'an, who was a little confused, the young man smiled slightly: "The name of the guild is 'Soul of Burning Steel' - remember to search for it."
Not to mention the researcher Liu Ruian, who searched in the game in the future, directly traveled through the body and went to 'exercise martial arts', that is another story.
At this moment.
Earth's Federal Science Council is in shambles.
"What's going on?! Has the psionic detector failed? ”
"No way, the psionic reconnaissance system of our replica alien warship is even more advanced than the technology on the alien ship - those bugs are really gone!"
"How is that possible...... Did they make the leap? Or is it in a warp state? ”
"No hyperspace signals were detected - they were all gone in an instant!"
"What the hell is going on......"
The entire Earth Science Committee was in a state of great confusion - the real reason for ending World War III, a psionic alien spacecraft that had crashed on the far side of the moon, and the approaching interstellar scourge called the 'Mayfly Clan', had disappeared in an instant?
Even, not only that, there were researchers who were still observing and stared at the psionic star map in front of them in astonishment, unable to say a word.
Because, there is an entire galaxy, and even more of it, that is going to go dark, and then it lights up again—no, no, it's the whole universe that is changing! God knows where all kinds of unknown galaxies, unknown galaxy clusters, and even larger and more celestial structures came from, and they suddenly appeared in the endless canopy!
If this universe was created by God and His old man, then this time it can be described as a real-time 'continuous line'!
The entire universe is undergoing tremendous changes.
"Oh? Do you think you have found a little guy with potential? No problem, no problem, whatever you want...... Speaking of which, don't you have an apprentice over there, too? Oh, you don't plan to accept apprentices, just teach casually, that's okay, people have their own paths, and we can naturally influence it as a 'torrent', but watching the drops of water become a big river is also his innate meaning and pleasure. ”
Hanging up the communication, a black shadow looked at the 'mayfly phantom' in his hand, and his voice couldn't help but sigh a little: "I didn't expect that there would be a multiverse information projection of the future sage in my hometown...... It seems that the two multiverses were really close to each other at the beginning, and they are both influencing each other. ”
In the silent void, a black shadow gradually manifested into human form. The man who casually operated a wave of 'cosmic version' whispered to himself and threw the mayfly phantom behind him, stared at the universe in front of him, and nodded: "The scenery of my hometown is a little more interesting than I imagined...... If I had crossed a little later, I'm afraid I would have switched to spiritual training. ”
"It's been a long time since I've seen you so happy." Beside him, a girl's voice with a hint of sighing came from the side.
"I'm always so happy when I see something unexpected."
Hearing this voice, the man smiled at the winged girl beside him, and this smile could be seen that this extremely powerful man turned out to be a very attractive person, but his own solemnity was too deep, and the strife that was enough to tear everything apart covered everything up.
"Just like you."
Hearing this, the girl's face was stunned, but before she could be happy, another sentence came from the man: "And everyone."
"Joe-Xiu-Ya!"
