Cyber Heroes

The earth only occupies a very small space and a very small mass in the solar system.

If the sun is regarded as a building, then the earth is probably just an apple.

This "apple" is still several kilometers away from the "building".

Compared with celestial bodies, space with "basically nothing" occupies most of the area in the universe.

Therefore, in this era, more humans are born in space cities.

Staying in space for a long time will cause a large amount of calcium loss in human bones and cause muscle atrophy.

But this is not a problem at all for the Cybermen.

Two hundred years ago, David Klein relied on this reason to vigorously promote the space programs of various countries.

Baseline human genetic modification surgery and human prosthetic technology have almost solved most of the problems of human immigration to the interstellar world.

However, space cities in different universes have completely different appearances.

Space cities within the earth's orbit are of the more "rich" type. The space city in this area can easily receive enough solar energy.

Space cities with a population of a few million are all in this area—to be precise, within the orbit of Venus.

The space cities between the orbit of the Earth and the orbit of Mars are relatively standard, with most of them having a population of 200,000 to 300,000 or more than 100,000.

The space city in this circle is quite difficult. This generation of solar energy is not very strong, and there is not much interstellar material, so it is not easy to exploit.

In contrast, the space cities near the asteroid belt are different.

Although this area lacks solar energy, it is rich in minerals. In this place, there is a stalemate between chivalrous power and government power, so there are a large number of forces that are not controlled by the government.

The terrain of the asteroid belt is complex and can even accommodate a small number of "illegal space cities" that are not subject to government supervision.

For those who want to make a name for themselves, the area around the asteroid belt is a good place to go. There are a large number of powerful people here who do not obey the government but do not recognize chivalry. Green Forest exists here in the form of "space pirates". Tired knights will hide their minions here to rest. Legend has it that there are even masters from the old days hiding here.

Of course, most of the "masters of the old times" are dead in the legend.

In short, in such a mixed place, almost everything a mortal could desire can be found.

For people in the solar system who are unwilling to be ordinary, these cities are almost "dream cities."

As for the more peripheral Jupiter space city group...because there are many strategically valuable strategic points on Jupiter and its satellites, the control is extremely strict. Although the chivalrous spirit here has never ceased since the Fourth Martial God, the only ones who can survive to raise the flag of rebellion are masters.

It is said that such an important place should have been guarded by King Agni, the number one among the kings. But King Agni was unwilling to leave his homeland and only wanted to guard his hometown forever, so he became the king of the earth and moon system.

Further out, there are even fewer space cities. In areas far away from the sun, solar energy is also extremely thin.

Saturn is okay because nuclear fuel can be mined, but farther away, it can't support much of the population.

Those places are now ruled by knights, and it is said that the social form is completely different from that in the asteroid belt.

But the asylum seekers have been restricting the flow of information there, and even plan to cut them off from the Internet, so few people know about those cities.

Of course, the boy's hometown is not that interesting a place.

The space city where he was born is located outside the earth's orbit, close to the earth's orbit, and its revolution period is about four hundred days.

This is a very ordinary city, with a population of just over 100,000. It is not particularly large, but it is not at all the same size as a real "small space city".

There are not many vigilantes in this city, and not many space pirates visit.

There are no knights because after King Agni bombarded the Fourth God of War, the knights would try their best to avoid "making all members of the space city express a rebellious stance". Asylums really do destroy cities.

There is no green forest in space because...

In such a city without oil and water, the harvest from one trip can hardly make up for the fuel consumption.

The social form of space cities is also hugely different from that of Earth.

Not everyone on the surface of the earth can enjoy the convenience of the Internet.

But in Space City, it's a "necessity."

Asylums have always believed that "the less we regulate, the better." Especially the Earth region - this planet has a natural atmosphere and hydrosphere, and its resources are not scarce. The most important thing is that there is no risk of "leakage". "Gravity" will restrict what humans need to survive to the surface of the planet.

The space city is inseparable from the management of automated monitoring systems and networks.

If there is a problem with the operation of the space city, then human life in the city cannot be guaranteed.

This is also an extension of the law about "life" in the "Dyson Principle".

Therefore, even if a boy lives independently at the age of twelve, he will still have access to the ubiquitous network.

The young mother died in an accident and was thrown into deep space while working on the outer wall of the space city.

Judging from the basic human vitality, the young man always believed that his mother might still be alive somewhere.

But at that time, the boy's family was unable to organize a search and rescue team.

The boy's father let him live on his own after he turned twelve. When the boy was thirteen years old, his father won a ticket to a space city in the asteroid belt and happily embarked on the road to pursue his dream.

Yes, the government does provide such social services for free. It's just that the government's organizational capabilities are limited and resources are tight, so even if you apply for relevant services, you can only wait for the lottery.

After the boy's mother left, his father played the game for several years.

Twelve years old is indeed the youngest age at which one can "live independently."

In order to prevent his body from over-consuming organic nutrients, the boy completed a high-level prosthetic transformation very early.

Apart from this, he also works two jobs.

One of them is to check several different tables to see if there are any inconsistencies between the tables.

These tables come from different AIs or different departments of Asylum. Most of the related work is completed by AI, but in order to prevent internal skill masters from doing tricks secretly, many positions have such a process of human confirmation.

The young man had no idea what he was doing in his job and what it was for. Due to confidentiality requirements, the AI ​​that decides on the division of labor will not tell him this. Those huge databases are broken down by AI into simple tasks that humans can quickly complete, and then distributed to different individuals.

Another job is to serve as a tester for AI.
