Cyber Heroes

When Babbitt started today's broadcast, Xiang Shan was sitting outside, looking at the sunset in the distance.

Although he is a hero, Babbitt has the ethics of a broadcaster. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the program, the door will not be opened when he is broadcasting. Xiang Shan was too embarrassed to go in.

But the signal here is extremely good.

Babbitt is telling a story.

The story is roughly told that there is a family in a wilderness settlement. The protagonist's uncle is a glutton and lazy. When dividing the family property, he ate part of the protagonist's father, which made the whole family disgusted. My uncle couldn't stay in the settlement any longer, so he went to work in the city. Then he was told that he had made a fortune, joined a gang, and became the most respected double bonus stick. But one day, the protagonist's uncle suddenly sent a video saying that his gang was going to the green forest and was going into the wilderness, so he couldn't contact him.

The protagonist's family has both joys and worries about this. They were happy that their family had a great supporter, but they were worried because they heard that the Green Forest was inhumane, and they didn't know if they could still contact him. But even so, the video record of the last communication sent by the uncle is also the biggest spiritual support of the protagonist's family. This hopeful video is played when they have disputes with people in the settlement. Everyone in the settlement is not afraid of Green Forest, so they give everything to this family. For this reason, the two sisters of the protagonist are attracted by the best men in the village.

But one day, the protagonist's family was on their way to the city when they unexpectedly saw "a man who looked very much like his uncle" at a charging station on the edge of the city. The uncle is not a completely prosthetic person as shown in the video recording, but an ordinary person with only hands and feet.

The protagonist's father inquired about it and found out that his uncle had indeed joined a martial arts gym in the past, but failed to achieve results and later joined a gang. That's when he got his good hands and feet. But he soon encounters the Lord Lord mop-up gang. The uncle grabbed a high-performance metal battery, and then gradually saved some solar panels. He made a living here by charging some electricity for passing vehicles and handing out power banks.

As for the "full-body prosthetic instant messaging" that convinced the protagonist's family, it was actually a small plug-in he wrote himself. When my uncle was young, he was really glib and was mistaken for being smart, so he was raised as a white paper fan and straw sandals for a while. But after all, he never stepped into the door of internal strength. He could only write some simple things and was unable to participate in modern internal strength offense and defense.

As a result, the uncle was no longer the "backbone of the family" and "a well-known figure in the green forest". He turned back into the "lazy liar" that his family called him. But the protagonist's family did not recognize his uncle after all. The family took the charged batteries, returned to the settlement, and continued to play the video record that brought them hope.

The whole story is basically a modern version of Maupassant's "My Uncle Jules".

I have to say, Mr. Babbitt is a good storyteller. He revised the story well and told it at a very high level, with a rhythm that most people can listen to.

The only thing that seemed a bit weird was that the broadcaster was still thinking about the metal battery that Xiang Shan had blown up.

——The resentment is really heavy...

Xiang Shan was still quite helpless.

The collision at that time was actually the "most feasible tactic" he speculated. For a few seconds, he had to face the Rangers' barrage.

Having a motorcycle to block it is the best tactic.

And he also got back a dozen isotope batteries!

This is not an opportunity that comes often. Rangers mostly operate alone. Even in the battle where the major lords besieged Tao Enhai three years ago, the rangers were dispersed into the army as the "elite of the patron side".

This kind of team composed of pure rangers can only be assembled by scientific research knights directly under the kings or with related projects.

This kind of harvest opportunity is really rare.

However, it's not like Xiangshan can't understand this situation.

Three and a half years ago, when he was just dug out by Yuki, he didn't even have access to this high-quality metal battery.

Xiangshan held the long stick and sat on his vehicle. This is the motorcycle he rode out of the city of Dela Cruz.

Over the past three years, he has also upgraded the hardware of the prosthetic body. The most important thing is to install the fission furnace that the Eighth Martial God did not use back then.

In order to block the radiation from the fission furnace, he had to make the torso housing the furnace core larger. If this torso matched a three-and-a-half-meter giant, it would be just right. But Xiangshan's prosthetic body is still 2.5 meters tall, which seems a bit uncoordinated.

But there is nothing we can do otherwise. If the barrier is thin, radiation will penetrate. Exposing his whereabouts is secondary, the main thing is that the prosthetic body cannot bear it. High-energy particles can cause TID damage, single-event flipping, single-event latch-up and other effects on electronic devices, causing reversible or irreversible damage and functional failure. Xiangshan's biological brain has a strong ability to withstand radiation. The life system, which is both miraculous and intelligently designed, has great self-healing capabilities. However, the fragile central processor cannot tolerate the excessive radiation. Radiation can also accelerate the deterioration of hard drives - even Homo sapiens is slightly more resistant to radiation than precision computers.

But Xiangshan can't just put the fission furnace and barrier layer on the trunk.

Xiangshan hasn't found the right hands and feet yet.

However, the benefits are obvious enough.

Now Xiangshan can get rid of the solar panels. As long as you bring the parts, you can go anywhere in the world.

He even charges the motorcycle loaded with parts himself.

Xiangshan just listened to Babbitt's broadcast and watched the sunset slowly set.

Then, a waning moon rose from the east.

Xiangshan's thoughts also dispersed like moonlight.

This is the moon of 2334. It doesn't look much different from the one in 2029 - except for the roads visible to the prosthetic eye, the moon seen from the earth only has traces of buildings on the edge.

After absorbing the memory of the Eighth Martial God, Xiangshan finally knew how the current era was calculated.

At the end of the Ascension War, he rushed into the enemy formation and faced off against Hartman and Yawgmoth. After his defeat, Yawgmoth announced that Xiangshan had been executed. Yawgmoth believes that this time point symbolizes that everything in the old civilization will be destroyed in this war, and civilization will enter a new world, so official history calls it the "Sublimation War."

The AD chronology, which had nothing to do with "religion", was also completely abandoned.

Humanity has abandoned everything in the past.

Then, another two hundred and nine years passed.

In the year 209 of the New Calendar, he was dug out of the garbage dump as a head.

Recycle Bin Town is said to be the site of the War of Ascension, but before and after the Chivalrous War, humans had already begun their conquest of the solar system. At the end of the Chivalrous Secret War, Xiangshan and Yawgmoth regained the stolen power and killed the thief who had stolen the country.

But Yawgmoth did not return "power" to the people.

Because that "power" is really easy to steal.

The terrifying behemoth built with the Superman Enterprise as its core has woven the authority condensed into seals, crowns, scepters, and thrones in the past into a series of codes. That is unprecedented power of life and death.

It’s no longer something that “cannot be afforded by those without qualifications”. With it, you can live and die.

This is the "technology" that Xiangshan once believed in.

Technology is something without a position. It naturally has no position and only stands on the side of objective reality. It is neither good nor evil. Good people can hold it, and evil people can hold it. It doesn't feel like "I must work for the benefit of mankind."

Because technology is technology.

With the help of internal skill masters such as Zhu Xinyu, Anatoly, and Ingrid, Xiangshan and Yawgmoth won that match.

As for the specific process, Xiang Shanwei really doesn't remember.

The only thing that's certain now is that he lost the last game and things took a turn for the worse. Anatole disappeared very early. Then Yawgmoth took in the one dog who had sided with the tyrant. "Agni" has become a nightmare in this world since then.

Hartmann helped Yawgmoth rebuild the walls. The codes that can control human life and death have become something Xiangshan and the others don't know.

The sublimation war also raged for a long time. Xiangshan has won and lost.

But Xiangshan just can't remember what happened on the eve of the Sublimation War.

——Such an important memory...

Xiang Shan thought so.

After being attacked at first, Xiangshan was a little hesitant towards Yawgmoth. The heavy shackles represented by those combination locks cannot be lifted instantly. The Sword of Damocles hanging high above the heads of mankind will definitely exist for a long time. This is an objective fact. Anyone who touches it may become a new tyrant. Maybe Yawgmoth's methods were just too radical.

Xiangshan himself had to admit that the long-term war had turned the knights of that generation into gods and demons that could not be restrained by conventional laws and could not be touched by conventional means.

If you want society to function again, you must restrain these knights whose abilities are completely different from ordinary people.

but……

Xiangshan's anger and hatred at this moment are absolutely real.

In fact, a philosopher left a prophecy in the 19th century that hinted at destiny - the goal achieved by improper means is not a legitimate goal.

Three years was not enough for Xiangshan to retrieve all his memories. But Xiangshan doesn't need to remember, he can figure it out just by looking at the world now.

The long stick in Xiangshan's hand swung, and then he poked the moon like he was venting his anger.

"Hartmann..."

The hatred that belongs to the "Martial Ancestor", the anger that belongs to the "Eighth Martial God"...

"Master Nonem?" At this time, Babbitt just finished the broadcast and walked out. He saw Xiang Shan's actions. Somewhat strange: "What are you doing?"

Xiang Shan thought for a moment: "Remember the past."

It’s 2021. Happy New Year everyone.
