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 not imagine in his own time. People can travel around the world in one or two hours,
At noon, you can eat snacks in the old streets of Jincheng, take a nap and then go to the beach in Maldives to play in the sand. 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 the absolute beauty of the earth.
Incredible scenery.
However, at its deepest core, this universe is actually very conservative.
An obvious example is the degree of automation of machinery.
Yes, if we only compare it horizontally, the level of automated machinery in this galaxy is certainly far higher than that of the hometown in the parallel universe that has not even broken through the shackles of the home star. After all, on that earth, there are no floating objects on the streets.
If there were mechanical policemen like shuttles, there wouldn’t be so many billboards that look like salted fish 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 a dreamlike game world, and can maintain hundreds of millions of NPCs. However, in those
The colorful characters in the virtual world made Yu Lian feel obviously dull.
No matter how detailed their modeling is, if they are fake and real, they will always give people this obvious feeling. In every aspect, they will not be more flexible than those in the parallel world in his previous life, where he has programmed predetermined programs.
Algorithmically, they have locked up the concept of artificial intelligence! The reason why the current data center can undertake universe-level data processing is entirely based on unscientific hardware levels.
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 of course clear. At the same time, if a large number of mechanical bionic prostheses are replaced in the human body, it will still not be human in the end. This has always been a question of society.
An enduring 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 decision declaring that the transformation of human bodies into human bodies was illegal.
To be fair, this decision came out of the blue. 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 after soaking in a petri dish. So in general, the general public did not have much opposition.
I quickly accepted this fact.
Of course, determination is determination, and reality is reality. In reality, in order to gain stronger strength from your body, you would add a power furnace to your belly, change your arm into a Swiss Army knife, or install a concealed gun rack on your thigh.
There are a lot of them, especially popular among the underworld.
Of course there is a military... but it's mainly in small countries where civilized parliaments don't bother to pay attention.
However, in the eyes of the public, the level of transformation that Old Man Trend has undergone is no longer illegal. It is simply an evil heretic who has given up "the spiritual flesh and blood given to us by the spirit of the universe." It is definitely the idealistic idiots who are the most hated.
The presence.
Behind hatred is often fear! But Yu Lian really doesn't understand what the big figures 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 become mechanical semi-prosthetics. If he is discovered, there is a high probability that he will 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 conceal his identity at all. This was 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 semi-mimetic prosthetics like Old Man Trend. The mutual aid organization they formed is the Omnic Brotherhood, which is quite famous in the "other world" in later generations.
The people there are very capable and well-spoken, and everyone is an engineering geek who is optimistic and has low materialistic desires. Yu Lian really likes it there. If it weren’t for the fact that the organization only accepts this kind of semi-body-mimetic prosthetics, Yu Lian said
Maybe everyone has joined in.
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 this old. After all, they are a bunch of "bloody and weak"!
...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, lovely 15-year-old girl!" Nair shouted angrily: "Despite looking at me like this, I am also a sensitive person. If I am reformed, I won't be able to awaken in the future, right?"
Indeed, psykers can only be born from naturally born creatures. This seems to be the iron rule of this stupid idealistic power.
"Nair is indeed my granddaughter. However, 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 be a talented person! If I had such a talent 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 the case
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 average medical lifespan in the league is only 90 years old.
.
"Isn't this a good thing? If mom and dad say it's gone, it will be gone. But if you say it, I don't have to worry about you suddenly disappearing! 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, leaving the space for a confidential conversation between the two of them again.
"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 kind of feudal-style loyalty, foolishness, and filial piety very well. It is indeed a virtue, but it seems to have no constructive significance, so he can only pass it by and get straight to the point: "So, what you promised
, what exactly is it? You are not waiting for my arrival, are you?"
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 considered this.
"The mission I have been given 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 this actually fishing?"
The old man nodded: "You are indeed very smart, Mr. Yu Lian."
Yu Lian wasn't 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, and there must be a camera behind his eyes to record his appearance.
Just put it online and compare.
I am also a celebrity, and 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 suddenly became 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!"
"Then, 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 Trende 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 like the whole world is pouring into her eyes.
All cruelty and blood! At that time, I told myself, whoever is the first to find her traces, I will give this thing to the person!"
These words are not convincing at all, and those who are more suspicious may have to go to the knife. However, Old Man Trende's words are 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.
