Xu Yang woke up at 6 o'clock in the morning. He rested his back on the pillow, and the necklace given by Yanduo around his neck emitted a slight heat and provided excess energy. This way, he did not have to sleep so much and had more time to spend on work during the day.
The apartment he rented was large enough. He turned his head and saw A40 practicing his knife in the living room.
It moved all the furniture out of the way in advance and reserved a space of at least 30 square meters for itself. The location is very narrow, which is extremely challenging for martial arts practitioners. It is possible to bump into and scratch the furniture at any time. But the A40 performed very well and never woke up Xu Yang or damaged any items.
The knife used by A40 is called "Wrath". It was given by Ye Zi and looked like an extended burst of flames.
The sky was overcast and the lights were not turned on, which made the red light on the tip of the 40 knife even more dazzling. It streaked through the air at high speed, like a meteor flying across the sky. The body of the A40 flashed and jumped in the air, as if it was not limited by gravity.
"Like a wasp." Xu Yang commented.
These words hurt A40's heart, and it deformed its movements and fell to the ground.
"I will become stronger until I get the wasp back." It got up again in an instant and resumed training.
Xu Yang looked at the eye tracker at the top of the curtain and blinked at it. He understood it, and the electric curtain rolled up, silently and quickly, uncovering the gray BC city shrouded in clouds, almost at the moment the curtain rolled up. , it started to rain in the sky, and within a few seconds the intensity of the rain became extremely heavy. The downpour roared down and was extremely noisy, as if nature was sending some kind of desperate warning to mankind.
He turned on the smart screen, which automatically read the news channels. Corner House TV broadcasted news 24 hours a day. A robot with four screens on its head worked diligently, merging the news columns for each time period and no longer dividing them into morning ones. Noon and evening.
Shocking information about the frontline war is currently being introduced. Kyoto Unlimited's satellites have lost track of the "Martinez" space carrier, and not only Kyoto Unlimited, but also the satellites of other giant companies are unable to determine the location of this space carrier. location, and followed up with reports saying that it had adopted a more advanced method to avoid detection.
Where will this giant battleship go? Xu Yang thought to himself. It is impossible for such a large space carrier to suddenly disappear from the world. The Black Fire Innovation must have adopted some unknown method.
If the Black Fire Innovation has the ability to evade scanning and quietly approach the northern archipelago, the war situation will take a turn for the worse. It will directly attack core cities like Anku City and Kamikyo, completely shattering Kyoto's confidence in continuing the fight indefinitely.
Could this be the method used by Black Fire Innovation to implement its ambitions? Xu Yang couldn't help but feel a little threatened.
Judging from the current situation, the Black Fire Innovation should have mastered an extremely excellent anti-reconnaissance capability that surpasses the science and technology of the same era. It can allow the aerospace carrier to maneuver quickly, achieve a dimensional blitz-like effect, or directly allow the air carrier to maneuver. The Tian mother ship broke into the hinterland of the company's jurisdiction.
Kyoto Mugen does not have a decent defense depth. Once the ship sails directly to Kyoto and sprints straight towards Xisheng Shrine, all emergency measures will be of no avail. Now that it has disappeared from all radars and detection methods, all strategic deployments of Kyoto Mugen will be destroyed. Falling into passivity, you need to always be on guard against its sudden reappearance.
"What an amazing heavy rain!" A40 kept practicing with his knife, adjusting his combat module parameters, dealing with the relationship between power consumption and cooling system, and optimizing his program settings. "Fortunately, Anjiu City has a very huge artificial river. Used to release floods!”
"The drainage channel codenamed 'Osu'." Xu Yang checked the information. "The designed annual flood discharge capacity is 500 million cubic meters, but it turns out that it is overloaded every year."
"Without a shuttle, such heavy rain would have made it difficult for me to move!" A40 said, "The chance of a short circuit due to rain is 95%!"
"The practitioners in the anime will sit at the top of the waterfall and hit their heads with water to practice." Xu Yang said, "If it were you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to replicate it."
"That is a training method used by humans to strengthen their will." A40 disagreed, "I have been completely fearless since the day I left the factory!"
Xu Yang observed the A40. Its body was not the most advanced, and it did not have the technology to ensure 100% victory. It seemed that it had no competitiveness based on belief alone.
"How far do you think you can go in the grand ceremony?" Xu Yang looked at A40, "The enemies in the competition cannot be underestimated."
"The stronger the enemy, the better." A40 raised the knife, "I am designed to continuously break through in battle. The stronger the enemy, the more excited I am, and the more beneficial it will be to me in the long run."
"That's right." Xu Yang felt interesting, "If you stand out and break out of the siege like a dark horse, we will turn this ceremony upside down, and the islands and even the world will be shocked."
"Yeah!" A40 danced the sword again, this time faster than before, "When you reach the top, you will have martial arts and fame."
"And wasps."
A40's knife slipped out of his hand, and he quickly lowered his head to pick it up.
The entrance door was opened, and A40 instantly changed the direction of the knife, tilted his body, and slashed at the incoming person. However, when he saw Du Qianqian, he told him to put the knife away immediately. Du Qianqian was holding a large wooden plate in his hand, and he had already taken action against A40.
She had a premonition and was not frightened. She smiled at Xu Yang behind the A40 and put the big wooden plate on the table.
"Come have breakfast." She said easily.
"If you don't have time to eat, when will you fight?" A40 is eager to try.
"The first game is at 10 o'clock in the morning." Xu Yang glanced at the time, "We have signed up. Counting us, there are a total of 4 companies participating in the battle. The other 3 are large and medium-sized companies, and we are the only small company that has just arrived.
"
"See how I can penetrate three with one." A40 stopped practicing the sword and ran to recharge.
"We have tamagoyaki," Du Qianqian laid out the food, "grilled fish, seaweed, steamed rice and natto, and a very cold vegetable salad."
"Did you buy it downstairs?" Xu Yang pulled a silver metal back chair over.
"It's downstairs, but it's from the cooking robot." Du Qianqian said, and then took out two more green rice dumplings, "Look, there are also candied date rice dumplings!"
Du Qianqian gave Xu Yang the feeling of a high school girl. Her lively expression and tone reminded him of a girl from a company middle school. Her face was still young and not long, with a round face and two sides.
His eyes were bright, with a certain eagerness to try, right on the line between curiosity and hostility.
Xu Yang has seen her domineering appearance, which always makes him hallucinate Farosa, but the difference is very big. If Farosa is a born bad boy, then Du Qianqian is passive and defensive in nature.
Evil, after all, there are too many risks in this world and you have to guard against it. If you betray your heart to others, you will only be stabbed in the back.
"Are you used to the food here?" Xu Yang asked.
"I want to eat steamed buns and soy milk." Du Qianqian thought for a moment, "It's not made by machines, it's the kind that comes from street breakfast shops."
"Absolutely." Xu Yang recalled the past, "The differences in food between regions are so obvious."
"Let's eat together." Du Qianqian opened the rice dumplings and handed them to Xu Yang.
"Go back to your room." Xu Yang didn't move, "I won't say it a second time."
This level of cruelty made Du Qianqian feel heartbroken. This was undoubtedly her first experience. She put down the food without saying a word and walked out of the room quickly.
"Little girl." A40 closed the door forcefully, "A matter of nutritional ointment is delaying my martial arts practice."
Xu Yang took off his mask and ate and drank enough.
"Let's go." He took the A40 and set off, "We still have a building to win back."
When they went to the corridor and heard some noise, Du Qianqian stood in the crack of the door of her room and kept staring at them.
"I took it to fight." Xu Yang said, "Don't wander around, be careful of being caught."
"It's raining so hard, where can we go?" Du Qianqian said without any emotion in his tone.
"It's time to cut your hair." Xu Yang looked at Du Qianqian's face, the messy bangs covering her eyes, "How messy."
"Oh." Du Qianqian tilted his head, "You can see your new hairstyle when you come back."
Taking the shuttle, Xu Yang took the A40 through the heavy rain and landed on the large apron of the Dome Arena. There was a rainproof glass corridor leading to the core area. The Dome Arena, as its real name is, is a wide ellipse at both ends.
The venue is divided into a large main competition area and 30 small and medium-sized competition areas.
In order to promote the dome competition ceremony, posters and related holographic projection advertisements have been hung everywhere, and there are sound and light special effects of swords, swords and shadows everywhere.
"So excited." A40 was triggered by the relevant computing script and walked around the venue. It threw its coat into the trash can, leaving behind its original alloy torso, which looked particularly thin.
Xu Yang browsed the event reports that could be found everywhere. Such top-notch events had been held five times before, all to celebrate or commemorate important events in Kyoto Mugen.
The fifth competition was held 15 years ago, which was considered the end of the golden age of corporatism. The fifth competition attracted all 18 giant companies to participate in the competition, and became a place for companies to test combat robots and advanced combat implants.
The place was transformed into a show-off show of flowers, brocade, and fire.
The last championship was Blackfire Innovation's specialized combat robot, codenamed "Heart of Darkness". Other companies sent a variety of people with gimmicks and commercial marketing value to participate, such as flagship robots, swordsmen or
Among the inheritors of various ancient martial arts schools, only the Black Fire Innovation was really here to fight, and thus gained an overwhelming advantage. It killed all its competitors and gave an indelible stain to the huge business event of the year.
of blood color.
"I can replace it." A40 looked at the image of the previous champion. "Heart of Darkness" is a cold, pitch-black robot with deadly sharp blades on its limbs. It is light and fast, and its body attacks are powerful enough to instantly cut the enemy into pieces.
Second, its protective power is also excellent enough to withstand most blows. The main reason is that it is small and difficult to be hit. It was a very advanced design concept at the time.
"Let's win this small invitational tournament first." Xu Yang took A40 to the agreed venue No. 8. In the pre-inspection area, the staff carefully inspected and scanned A40.
I helped the president of Kadoya Media, Ryuji Kitada, by sending him a lot of VIP cards, including VIP passes for the Dome Arena. This saved Xu Yang a lot of things. There were no boring people to disturb him, and he went straight in to take a VIP rest.
In the private room, sit on the red leather soft chair, open the ice bucket at hand, and take out a bottle of red champagne.
"Boss!" A40 called, "They said I'm 100% qualified, I'm ready!"
"Then... let's start the war." Xu Yang picked up the arena flat screen at hand and confirmed on it that the preparations were complete.
