Cyber Heroes

The leader of the Life Furnace Knights, Edikkara, tapped his toes on the ground, and his body moved dozens of feet in space, crossing the docking corridor and entering the space port. There were three other people beside him, but the other three took the initiative to stay three feet behind Ediakara.

This is the majesty brought by the respectable wisdom of the leader of the regiment.

Although these three are also group leaders with the same theoretical status as him, there is a huge gap between the big group and the small group. Knights from large groups who go to other groups to place orders will receive an almost flattering reception from the local group leader.

The Knights of the Forge of Life are a large group among the large groups, and even undertake some of the work related to genetic taxation.

Edikala actually doesn't hate this kind of "discrimination". This kind of discrimination can give the scientific knight extra motivation to charge towards the unknown frontier.

After entering the port through the corridor, Edikkara looked towards the glass porthole on the side. Above them, there is a longer corridor. These tunnels are like umbilical cords. From the "placenta" of the spacecraft, goods are continuously transported to the space port.

Those goods came from Mars. Resources that are difficult to mine or have been exhausted on the earth, cutting-edge weapons and equipment that the earth lacks manufacturing conditions, and the population from Mars - or, in the eyes of the anthropological knights, "gene flow." The terrifying distance in space is enough to completely negate the value of most resources. The use value of most things is far less than the cost of interstellar transportation.

And it is precisely because of cost issues that many times, no matter how distinguished people want to travel between the stars, they must take super large spacecrafts.

In a place like the universe where there is almost no resistance and almost no gravity wells, the mass utilization coefficient of the spacecraft is naturally the bigger the better. The cost of carrying a small spacecraft will be prohibitively high. As for large spaceships, they must also ensure that their payload must be greater than a certain multiple of the spacecraft's own weight - it is precisely because of this restriction that the defenders of the human gene pool will fill this load with civilians and use the unfixed quota for interstellar movement. It will be given out on various planets in the form of lottery.

After passing a fork in the road, the other three heads of the Scientific Research Knights separated from Edikala. The knights owned by the other three are mostly based in the New World or North Asia. They'll head to the inner ring of the spaceport. Their space shuttle is there. The system will plan a correct re-entry trajectory for them - in today's era, the impact of the atmosphere on the spacecraft is already very low, and the real danger is the countless groups of space junk floating outside the atmosphere. This year, the amount of garbage in Earth's orbit has increased dramatically.

Spacecraft need to be somewhat careful.

And in Edikkara's view, this is also a symbol of honor.

The station of the Knights of the Crucible of Life is the closest to the space elevator. This is proof that they have undertaken the important work of genetic taxation in the Earth region.

They are highly regarded by the Father of All Machines.

This is the space port Kalidasa - the space port where the original "Earth-3 Space Elevator" docked. It once had the reputation of "Crown". It seemed like a crown suspended quietly in the dark night sky. As space junk continues to increase over the generations, it is easy to give people on the ground the illusion that there is a mini sea of ​​stars between it and the earth.

There is a transparent landscaped corridor leading from the "VIP area" to the "central area". Here, the building where the Knights of the Forge of Life reside is looming. It was a tall building that pierced through the clouds. Even the celestial phenomena could not cover this human creation.

Edikala felt a little worried at this moment.

"I really don't know what happened in the group. I can't report it in the contact..."

Ediakara participated in academic activities on Mars and has only just returned. There is a communication delay between Earth and Mars ranging from several minutes to more than ten minutes, so Ediacara cannot firmly control the affairs of the Knights on Mars. Although Palmion and other deputy captains would submit reports to him regularly, the effect was ultimately not as good as face-to-face questioning.

Not to mention that in the report they submitted recently, they vaguely mentioned that "the group has done some great things, but they can't explain it clearly in the report."

Before this, the communication information of the Six Dragons Sect would be mixed and transmitted in the dedicated link of the Scientific Research Knights. This kind of data train exclusive to the Scientific Research Knights is running endlessly among the stars, and King Agni has no reason and cannot interfere. Originally this was the most secure communication solution, and it had no shortcomings except that it was a little slower.

But as the Twelfth Martial God announced all Six Dragon Sect contact information, this method must stop. King Agni can do a lot of things just by searching for the data in the data stream that matches the communication method of the Six Dragons Cult from the broadcast content of the Twelfth War God. The message of the Twelfth War God can only be transmitted at sub-light speed. It will take at least a few minutes for it to reach other planets. At that time, many members of the Six Dragons Cult were eager to invent super-light speed means to intercept the messages they had sent a few minutes ago.

But fortunately, King Agni was involved by the God of War after all and did not continue to dig deeper. And the major scientific research knights have also packed their hands.

"It's a good thing, but I can't say it in the report", which means it is related to the Six Dragons Sect's ascension cause, and it is positive news.

only……

Edikala really couldn't figure out how the Six Dragon Cult members on Earth could survive under such circumstances.

A huge figure overtook Ediakara from behind. It was Bodhidharma Gaotian, the military attache stationed at the port. Gao Tian is Edikala's old friend. Due to work, the two of them often meet. Gao Tian said to Ediacara: "Sir, it will take a while before the next space elevator with a high-end cabin comes down. Do you want to have something to drink together?"

"No." Edikala waved his hand, "I have been away from the regiment for a long time. There is still half a second delay between here and the ground. Half a second is still too high. I need to listen to the reports of the regiment members face to face. Let me read some memories That’s it.”

"I'll have someone place the special prosthetic body in the high-end cabin. Let's go down together." Gao Tian said, "I may not have felt the gravity of my home planet for a long time."

Very strange. Gao Tian's attitude was a little too tough. Edikala analyzed calmly, scanning Gao Tian's movements with her prosthetic eyes. Very well, at least the opponent has no intention of attacking yet.

Although Ediacara's prosthetic body has high specifications and good materials, its power part is still conventional power, which can be compared with ordinary people in the world. But as a senior military attache, Gao Tian's prosthetic body must be a first-level prosthetic body equipped with a star-like device. A fight between the two would only result in a crushing victory.

——It doesn’t look like King Agni ordered me to be arrested?

Edikala nodded: "Let's stick to the old rules. Add more ice to black tea and more sugar."

Ediacara's prosthetic body is a conventional humanoid prosthetic body, except that the head maintains the usual style of the scientific knight, and the face is a relief without details. Edikala needs to move in a gravity-free environment, so the interface on the back is equipped with a magnetic link weapon. The two magnetic link weapons were as flexible as the arms and legs of an octopus. After curling up one of Ediacara's arms, they quickly traveled through the corridor like lightning, and soon arrived at the VIP waiting area.

Bodhidharma Gaotian said: "You are very calm. When you saw me using the magnetic link weapon to roll you up, you didn't waver at all."

"Well, this is your first time doing this." Edikala nodded, "But you are a hero who followed the king and fought with the Seventh God of War. If you really want to attack me, how can I be spared? ?”

"At that time, I was still an unknown person, and I was not qualified to show myself in front of the God of War. I was just a chess piece."

In front of the metal gate, the two were silent for a while. The faint noise of the space station seemed to mask the mental activities of the two men.

"Speaking of the God of War..." Edikkara took the initiative to raise the topic, "There is a God of War on the earth again? It's really disturbing."

"yes."

"And the God of War also did something big."

"Attack the Youhe Knights?"

"No, this is not a big deal. I have seen both the leader and deputy leader of the Youhe Knights. It is not a special group. I am better than them all by myself." Edikala said, "But I heard that after that, he did something else - related to our scientific research knights. After that incident, I could clearly feel that the king had stronger control over us. It was simply targeted. An unreasonable disaster .”

The door of the two-story structure slowly opened in front of the two people. Opposite the door was a small hall of more than 200 square meters.

In the center of the small hall is a round table, with a number of transparent packaging bags placed on the table, each packaging bag contains a dish. Two figures were already sitting facing each other on both sides of the table.

Gao Tian and Edikala did not sit in front of the table, but walked to the corner and stood in front of the preset interface.

They immediately took over the two prosthetics at the edge of the dining table.

Both prosthetics are highly human-like in appearance. Gao Tian is a thin-lipped young man with brown skin and black curly hair, while Ediacara has beautiful red hair.

These are all "possible looks" inferred based on their own genetic genes, which are the most consistent with human natural aesthetics. The tongues in the mouths of these two prostheses, and even the mucous membranes in the esophagus, are the result of using their glial cells to dedifferentiate and then redifferentiate and re-culture, which can ensure that the taste signals are almost consistent with the natural ones.

Edikala pressed a bag of black tea into Zisha's tea bowl. In a zero-gravity environment, the bagged drink appears to bounce. But Edikala's wrist flicked slightly to neutralize the force. He slowly brought the tea bowl to his mouth, then bit open the opening of the soft bag and took a sip of the ice tea.

The instinctive pleasure brought by sweetness is also perfectly simulated by the program.

This is the so-called prosthetic body dedicated to psychological adjustment - prosthetic body dedicated to pleasure is too decadent and too unattractive, and most idealists disdain it. Naturally, the leader of the Scientific Research Knights and the armed defender of the human gene pool should not do this. However, human instinct is low here. Humans must use similar behaviors to self-regulate and release inner pressure in order to soothe their minds. This is also a kind of psychological therapy, and even knights occasionally use it.

Gao Tian chewed an asparagus. As the elevator started, the food and tea left the table slightly.

Gao Tian swallowed the food in his mouth. The prosthetic's built-in fermentation tank can quickly degrade food into usable organic resources. And "gastrointestinal motility" is also simulated mechanically. Even in a gravity-free environment, swallowing is still easy.

Gao Tian put down the soft can and asked, "Are you from the Six Dragons Sect?"

Edikkara, the elder of the Six Dragons Sect of Sinian, was very surprised: "What? You suspect that I am a member of the Six Dragons Sect? Why?"

"The God of War broke up with his first disciple."

"Kannahara Yanye? I have heard about this. The God of War took the initiative to expose the former knight's joining the Six Dragons Sect."

"Yeah, but at the same time, the God of War also mentioned the details." Gao Tian said, "The Flower of Talking Words shouldn't stay on Earth for a long time, right? A hero like her wouldn't be lurking in such a place, right?"

"It's hard to say that the hidden secret organization of the Six Dragons Sect is very destructive - especially the destruction of people's trust." Edikala reminded: "Look, even King Agni only came to power this year. Do you know the existence of the Six Dragons Sect?"

"Strictly speaking, it shouldn't be this year, but...it wasn't until the 12th Martial God's broadcast that the king knew that such an organization had grown to such a terrifying level that it even attracted dangerous elements like the Flower of Talk. What did they want to do? , I can’t even imagine it.”

Edikkara, the elder of Six Dragon Sect's Cathay, nodded: "This is indeed true."

"Ever since the king shared the information he has internally, I have been thinking about one thing. If Kanyuan Yanye and other members of the Six Dragon Cult have been in and out of the earth many times, how did they come here?"

"You mean...the space elevator?"

"Before the Twelfth God of War destroyed the satellite network, our surveillance was so tight. No spaceship or rocket could launch secretly." Bodhidharma Gaotian said, "I think it could be here? Is it my problem?"

"Are you...doubting me?" Edikkara asked.

Gao Tian nodded: "I think there is no problem with my deployment. And according to known intelligence, the main body of the Six Dragons Religion is the scientific research knight."

"You..." Edikala hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Maybe there is such a person among my subordinates...hell, I can't guarantee it."

"What about you? Old friend, what do you do with the gene bank defense arm?"

"Me? You should believe me!"

"Then, I believe you." The prosthetic body controlled by Gao Tian smiled.

——No, you don’t believe it.

Edikala actually understood Gao Tian's hidden meaning.

Bodhidharma Gaotian is not sure whether he is Ediakara...perhaps he is sure in his heart, but has no evidence.

It’s just that His Excellency Bodhidharma doesn’t care.

Let's just release a "warning" signal.

——If it’s really you, then you’d better clean up your hands quickly.

Elder Sinian sighed and began to carefully plan to clear out those people and save those people.

——It’s really troublesome. I hope the “good things” in the Knights can be a surprise.
