Him and their stars

This universe has actually been rejecting machines. This is a fact that Yu Lian knew in his previous life.

Yes, although in terms of performance, it is a world with prosperous technology after all. In this world, people can enjoy conveniences that Yu Lian could never imagine in his own time. People can travel around the world in an hour or two, have a snack in the old streets of Jincheng at noon, and play in the sand on the beach in the Maldives after taking a nap. People can swim in the sea of ​​​​stars, take a bath surrounded by stars and the universe, and go to the other side of the Milky Way to enjoy scenery that can never be seen on earth.

However, at its deepest core, this universe is actually very conservative at its core.

An obvious example is the degree of automation of machinery.

Yes, if only from a horizontal comparison, the level of automated machinery in this galaxy is of course far superior to that of the hometown in the parallel universe that has not even broken through the constraints of the home star. After all, on that earth, there would not be shuttle-like mechanical police floating on the streets, nor would there be so many salted fish-looking billboards suspended in the sky.

But, so what?

After all, this universe does not allow machines to be separated from human labor and complete full-cycle automated work.

The information center with jaw-dropping performance can simulate tens of millions of square kilometers in the virtual Nebula network, with colorful, changeable terrain and beautiful dreamlike game world, and can sustain hundreds of millions of NPCs. However, the colorful NPCs in the virtual world made Yu Lian feel obviously dull.

No matter how detailed their modeling is, it will always give people this obvious feeling. In every aspect, it will not be more flexible than the ones he had programmed in the parallel world in his previous life.

Algorithmically, they have already locked up the concept of artificial intelligence! The reason why the current data center can undertake universe-level data processing is entirely due to the unscientific level of hardware.

Yes, it is "unscientific" hardware. As far as Yu Lian knows, some high-performance chips must use "active metals" in zero elements.

Since the concept of artificial intelligence has been locked up, the technical upper limit of robots is certainly clear. At the same time, if a large number of mechanical bionic prostheses are replaced in the human body, whether it will still be human or not has always been a long-standing controversial topic in all walks of life.

This controversial topic came to a conclusion more than 150 years ago. The Galactic Civilization Council passed a resolution declaring that the transformation of human beings into cyborgs was illegal.

To be fair, this decision came a bit suddenly. But at that time, the Empire and the Alliance, which were already hostile to each other, both raised their hands and passed this decision. It always makes people think a lot!

However, the genetic diagnosis and treatment technology at that time had matured. No matter whether the person was blind or disabled, a perfect organ could always grow out of a person soaked in a petri dish. So in general, the general public's opposition was not loud, and they quickly accepted this fact.

Of course, determination is determination and reality is reality. In reality, in order to make their bodies stronger, there are still many people who add a power furnace to their stomach, change their arms into Swiss army knives, and install a concealed gun rack on their thighs, especially on dark (meow) roads. Especially popular.

Of course there is a military...but it is mainly in small countries where civilized parliaments are too lazy to pay attention.

However, the level of transformation that Old Man Trend has undergone is no longer illegal in the eyes of the public. It is basically an evil heretic who has given up "the spiritual flesh and blood given to us by the spirit of the universe." Idealistic idiots are definitely the most hateful beings.

Behind hatred is often fear! But Yu Lian really doesn't understand what the big guys in the Empire, Alliance and Ethereal Temple are afraid of? He really didn't understand it at all in his previous life.

In short, like Old Man Trend, the respiratory system, arms, heart, etc. have all become mechanical semi-prosthetics. If it is discovered, it will most likely be humanely destroyed, right?

After he appeared, he did not deliberately use the bionic machinery in his body to simulate heartbeat and breathing. It seemed that he was not prepared to hide his identity at all. This is equivalent to handing the gun to Yu Lian, showing a considerable degree of sincerity.

More importantly, when Yu Lian saw the gear tattoo on the back of the opponent's hand, he was completely relieved.

In fact, there are not a few people with semi-body-mimetic prosthetics like Old Man Trend. The mutual aid organization they formed was the Omnic Brotherhood, which was quite famous in the "other world" in later generations.

The people there are very capable and nice to talk to, and everyone is an engineering geek who is optimistic and has low materialistic desires. Yu Lian likes it there very much. If that organization hadn't only accepted such semi-body-mimetic prosthetics, Yu Lian might have joined.

When he thought of this kind of thing, his eyes suddenly became bright and full of friendliness and affection.

Old Man Trende didn't expect that his identity had been exposed at all, and said with a smile: "Before I carried out this kind of prosthetic transformation, it was before the promulgation of the "Prosthetic Transformation Prohibition Law." Although I can't use the sword of the previous dynasty, If you come to kill the officials of this dynasty, there will always be a lot of trouble if you are discovered."

In other words, this old man is probably 200 years old. However, it is normal for the elders of the Omnic Brotherhood to be of this age. After all, they are a bunch of "bloody and weak people"!

...However, when Yu Lian thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Nair, who had just come in with a cup of coffee and a cup of fire rock wine.

"I am a living and lovely 15-year-old girl!" Nair shouted angrily: "Despite looking at me now, I am also a sensitive person. If I really transform, I won't be able to awaken in the future, right?"

Indeed, psykers can only be born from naturally occurring creatures. This seems to be the iron rule of this stupid idealistic power.

"Nair is indeed my granddaughter. It's just that her mother is an orphan I adopted. She gave me the greatest comfort during my long waiting years." At this point, Old Man Trende sighed. : "She left, but she finally left Nair, such a talented child."

"It's great to have talents! If I had such talents back then, I wouldn't have to endure such hardship... However, if you want to extend your life to over 200 years old, you must at least break through the seventh ring, right? Thinking about it this way, it really is still Prosthetic body transformation is more convenient! There is no way, I promised my master, it really takes time." Old Man Trend said with a smile.

With genetic diagnosis and treatment technology, humans can theoretically live to the limit of medical lifespan, which is over 120 years old. But having said that, even now, the league's average medical life expectancy is only 90 years.

"Isn't this a good thing? If mom and dad say no, it will be gone. But if you say it, I don't have to worry about you suddenly being gone! This way you can stay with me until the end." Nair said with a smile.

Old Trend had a straight face and probably wanted to preach a few words, but before that, the little girl had already skipped out. The space for confidential discussion was once again left to the two of them.

"So, you are not a descendant of Count Salvin's retainer, but you are him himself. Right?"

Trend smiled and nodded: "I have received great favor from the Earl, and I am also the person he trusts most. Because of this, I must keep the agreement with him!"

Yu Lian couldn't describe this feudal style of foolish loyalty and filial piety very well. It is indeed a virtue, but it seems to have no constructive significance, so I can only pass it by and get straight to the point: "So, what exactly is the thing you promised? You are not waiting for my arrival, right?"

If this is the case, Count Salvin can no longer be described as a nine-ring boss. He is clearly the true god who follows his words! Could it be the will of the legendary enlightened ones! Or even the incarnation of the spirit of the universe?

Yu Lian felt that if this was really the case, he would commit suicide immediately. Let’s see if the other party has figured this out.

"The mission I got is to hand over the clues left by the earl to the destined person at the right time," the old man said.

He nodded his forehead and said with a smile: "The chip here has left the earl's signal. Once activated, it means that his so-called destined person will appear. Whoever can show up with the earl's token, I will It is my mission to give him the clues he left."

Yu Lian thought for a while and said: "So, you were defrauded by a person in the financial circle before and almost had your own store taken down. Is it actually fishing?"

The old man nodded: "You are indeed very smart, Mr. Yu Lian."

Yu Lian was not surprised at all that the other party could guess his identity. Since this guy is a semi-android, he might have a terminal connected to the Nebula network installed in his head. There must be a camera behind his eyes, and he can just put his appearance online for comparison.

I am also a celebrity. Although it has become obsolete after a month, it still has to have some effects after all.

"So, this is what you call a destined person, right?" Yu Lian opened his terminal and opened the portrait of the little queen and the portrait of her walking into the store.

Trend nodded and said with a smile: "She is very similar to the Countess when she was young, and she also has a token left by the Countess in her hand."

...This plot is suddenly a bit bloody! Yu Lian sighed.

Having said this, the old man stood up, walked to the grocery store behind him, rummaged around, and finally took out a scroll and handed it to Yu Lian: "This is the old man."

"She didn't take it?"

"The count's order is to let her see it, not let her take it away!"

"So, who am I?"

"The lady has appeared, so I have fulfilled the count's last order. After that, everything he left behind will be mine, and I can give it to whomever I want." Old Man Trend smiled. .

"To be honest, I don't want that young lady. Although she looks pitiful and exhausted, it's like all the cruelty in the world is pressing on her shoulders. So, it seems as if the whole world is pouring into her eyes. All cruelty and blood! At that time, I told myself, whoever comes to the door first after finding her traces, I will give this thing to whoever!"

This statement is not convincing at all, and those who are more suspicious may have to use the knife. However, Old Man Trend's words were full of natural meaning.

"So, Mr. Yu Lian, do you dare to accept it?" His voice suddenly dropped, and his eyes once again flashed an artificial red light.

1300, okay.

I thought I shouldn’t delete book reviews, but it seems that’s not the case.
