Technological Hegemony

Black Iron Star County, the core area of ​​the stars, the legendary birthplace of mechanical civilization.

As the powerful mechanical civilization disappeared in the long river of history, new residents came to settle in Black Iron Star County. Most of them were mechanical engineers with strong beliefs, scientists full of desire to explore, and young and energetic college students.

In the process of civilization recovery, culture and science have received attention again, and in Black Iron Star County, the independent scientific research institutions with the largest number of stars, independent universities, and a large number of new technology companies have quietly gathered.

Black Iron Star County is like the Silicon Valley of the Stars, and it has been able to transform from an axis of evil that initiated a world war to a place of cultural and technological prosperity because of the peace treaty.

After the tragic Star Wars ended and the mechanical civilization was wiped out, in order to commemorate the war and warn future generations, the major civilizations signed a peace treaty, stipulating that no civilization, no army, could enter Black Iron Star County.

Ships passing through the Black Iron Star County are not allowed to be armed. If any civilization or force wants to occupy the Black Iron Star County, it is tantamount to declaring war on the entire universe, and everyone will be punished.

So the land of freedom and dreams among the stars was born. It is not controlled by any forces and has a strong cultural atmosphere. Major civilizations have set up research institutes and university branches here to carry out academic discussions and exchanges. Young people come to Black Iron Star County studies, falls in love, and eventually gets married.

The headquarters of Metal Gear is also in Black Iron Star County. They are currently the most influential military review website among the stars. Countless military fans are members of Metal Gear, and their most popular columns are military performance evaluation and war equipment. leaderboard.

At this very moment, Fran, the editor-in-chief of Metal Gear Network, is convening a plenary meeting of the editorial department to discuss the issue of the Tyrant Award.

The Tyrant Award is specially issued to those arms products with the most amazing ideas that can subvert the pattern of modern warfare. Its authority is beyond doubt. In history, leave your own legendary name.

Because the Tyrant Award is so important to Metal Gear Network, every nomination and award must go through a strict review process, and the winners must be collectively recognized by senior arms editors.

"This is the most amazing idea I've ever seen. I don't have any objections to awarding the Tyrant to the Thriller."

"Secondly, our starship testing department has decided to turn tremors into a routine test item. From now on, all starships must undergo the test of tremors. If they can still maintain good performance under the indiscriminate bombing of tremors, they can get Our 5 star recommendation.”

"I don't have an opinion either. Thriller is no longer a matter of EMP bombs. It has become a standard. Whether a starship, or a set of precision equipment is good,

It doesn’t count if you say it, and it doesn’t count if I say it. "

Senior editors were buzzing, full of praise for Thriller's performance and groundbreaking.

In the end, Thriller won the Tyrant Award by unanimous vote.

"In this case, let our colleagues in Yinlun Xing County work hard and invite representatives from Xingchen Technology to come to Heitie Xing County to participate in the award ceremony."

"Considering the long distance, they may refuse, but even then, we should send congratulations and establish a good relationship with Xingchen Technology Group. This new arms company is not easy." Editor-in-Chief Fa Lan said in a low voice.

...

"It should be around here." Euler glanced at the coordinates on the spaceship, then shrugged slightly: "No way, although we are a strategic partner of Xingchen Technology, we have never visited their base before, and Like you, it's my first time too."

Dicardo nodded slightly, with a surprised expression on his face.

Dicardo's position is the stationmaster of Metal Gear Network stationed in Yinlunxing County. This time, he asked Ola to take him to find Luo Jia together, so as to convey the good news that Shiver won the Tyrant Award.

"This Xingchen Technology Group is indeed very mysterious." Dicardo muttered, "The previously unknown small company suddenly came to Yinlun Xingjun to release an epoch-making new EMP bomb. It’s not like a small company, maybe there’s something in the background that we don’t know about.”

Ola was noncommittal, Luo Jia's handsome appearance appeared in his mind, and he thought he was quite handsome.

Shrugging, Euler looked around at the boundless space outside the porthole, and said in a low voice: "The stars are like a fog. So far, what we understand is only a small part of the stars. According to historical records, I am afraid that even one percent None."

"Because there is no star map, and long-distance navigation is very difficult, there are still thousands of star counties hidden in the dark mist, and behind these darkness that we don't understand, there may be other civilizations that are revived. Maybe, Star Technology is here to represent the civilization in the fog."

What Euler said is also a kind of speculation, called the fog theory.

The stars are vast, and after the annihilation of civilization, most of the star counties have lost contact with the central area. It is like a fog covering the earth. No one knows what is hidden behind the layers of fog, and whether the civilizations recorded in the annals are still alive. Still exist.

Weakness is never an obstacle to survival, arrogance is.

It is not without reason that Star Ring Trade and Metal Gear can become the top private forces among the stars. They value every potential customer, even if the customer is still very weak at the moment. It is precisely because of this kind of business that they personally visit Star Technology idea.

"The guide ship is coming."

At this time, someone on the spacecraft reported that in order to maximize his goodwill, Euler was on a cruise ship with almost no weapons on it.

Ola looked out the porthole, and sure enough, an ugly frigate came, with the rotating galaxy badge of Star Technology printed on the armor on both sides.

The main force of the Earth Fleet is the Galen Empire Expedition Fleet captured at the beginning. In order to deceive people, they have undergone large-scale modifications.

It's a pity that with the aesthetic style of a straight man of steel, these starships after transformation only consider function, not aesthetics, and they all look stunned.

The straight men of steel at this moment don't know that this powerful starship, but its appearance is awkward and not good-looking at all, will become a unique style like its own label, and it will have an unimaginable far-reaching effect on the pattern of the entire universe. influences.

In the eyes of Euler and Dicardo, the spacecraft of Xingchen Technology is an ugly word. They frowned at the same time, secretly slandering the designers of Xingchen Technology, whose level may be worrying.

Following the guiding starship, Euler's interstellar cruise ship soon came to a barren planet. Its surface was shining with silver light. It was a thick layer of ice covering the entire planet. The white rings were white rings that swept across the world. ice storm.

"Sure enough, they just came to Yinlunxing County. All the good places have been taken up, but here, it's too bad." Ola thought to himself.

The spacecraft descended rapidly, passing through the surface ice and entering the deep underground.

The underground base is warm and bright, and the powerful energy provided by the controllable fusion system makes it like spring all year round. The only thing that everyone complains about is that they can't see the sun and the sea.

Although when we were on Earth, Xingchen Technology was famous for being an otaku, and most of them didn't like to go out, but I don't know why, but when they arrived at Qunxing, they all complained about the lack of sunshine in their lives, as if they really like to bask in the sun .

This is nostalgia, and if you don't leave home, you will never understand the beauty of home.

Even if an existence as powerful as plant civilization can transform a planet with an elegant environment and suitable for survival, you will still miss that little broken ball far away in the galaxy, and think about her day and night.

This feeling is nostalgia. No matter where you are, your roots will always stay in that little broken ball. You can take all your luggage with you, but you can't take away your deep memories.

So a strange phenomenon happened, when the steel straight men who shouted all day long to go to the stars and the sea finally realized their dreams and went to the distant space that their ancestors could not imagine.

When they came to the stars, they didn’t get excited for a long time, and fell into an irresistible nostalgia. They began to miss the buns and skewers in their hometown, the flowers and plants on the small broken ball, and everything in their hometown.

"What a strong aroma, what exactly is this smell?" Ola asked her doubts when she walked off the cruise ship and faced Luo Jia who came to greet her.

"Oh, Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles." Luo Jia scratched his head and explained helplessly: "A kind of food in our hometown is quite magical. Whenever one person eats instant noodles, the whole room smells like this."

"From a nutritional point of view, instant noodles are full of fat and carbohydrates, and are not nutritious at all. From a taste point of view, instant noodles belong to the kind that smells like drooling. It's up."

"But no matter what, we still like this taste. The farther away from home and the longer the time, the more we like it."

"Perhaps the meaning of instant noodles is not food, but the feeling of hometown."

Luo Jiaping said plainly, unlike a famous scientist, a businessman who manages a large enterprise, he feels like a very good classmate back then. Although he has not seen him for many years, as long as he speaks, you will hear his words The voice naturally feels familiar and intimate.

This is the unique charm of Luo Jia, a natural speaker. His speech style like a little brother next door has long been known on the earth.

Ola looked at Luo Jia suspiciously, it was so strange, when Luo Jia said this casually, she also felt a little homesick in her heart, the reeds in the back garden, and the seagulls that fly here every winter, sister Xiaoyu did it rose cake.

Anyway, it's very comfortable, it's not like dealing with businessmen, it's full of intrigue, coming to Luo Jia's base is like visiting an old friend.

"Can you let me try it too." Ola paused and said, "That instant noodles."

With the corner of his mouth raised, Luo Jia lightly snapped his fingers with his right hand, "No problem."
