The dark and deep cosmic space seems to be dotted with a curtain of starlight diamonds. A silver-white planet rotates quietly in it. The surface is made of metal, with sharp-cut mechanical towers raised, connected to each other by air channels, forming a The matrix-like texture and neat layout reveal exquisite mechanical beauty.
This is the new main star of Han Xiao’s mechanical life civilization. It is located in the territory of the Super Sanctuary. It is completely made of mechanical life. The planet is very huge and incorporates the materials of several planets. The former The Apostle Star was also decomposed and integrated into this planet.
Originally Youzu and other mechanical gods wanted to name this new main star Black Star to show their respect for the main god Black Star, but they were firmly rejected by Han Xiao. In the end Youzu It was not until the divine messenger changed his mind that he named the planet Saint's Star.
On the bustling Alloy Avenue, all kinds of mechanical life are bustling. Some people’s feet collide with the ground when they walk, and some people make a squeaking sound when their tires rub against the ground. Some people’s engine cylinders make a squealing sound. There was a constant roar, and someone's exhaust pipe puffed out gas from time to time, forming a strange tune with a strong mechanical feel.
Han Xiao was walking among the group of machines. His whole body was covered with a camouflage coating. He looked like an ordinary mechanical life. All approaching mechanical life could not detect his presence.
"This place is becoming more and more prosperous..."
Han Xiao was secretly pleased.
After taking in World Tree, he no longer needed mechanical civilization to produce mechanical soldiers around the clock, so he stopped the bottom-level orders of violent soldiers and allowed mechanical civilization to reproduce and develop on its own. This was his first time to observe carefully. Changes in mechanical civilization after the war.
Han Xiao’s walking speed was not fast, as if he was taking a slow walk, his eyes constantly looking left and right, looking at the fleet of machines on the street.
Although mechanical beings are reproduced in batches and leave the factory, many people should have the same model, but it is almost impossible to see any identical mechanical beings on the street, even machines with the same model. Life has also added various personalized structures to itself through self-modification, and also equipped it with colorful paints. Some people like guns, some like sharp blades, some like heavy equipment, some like streaking... If From the perspective of normal life, this is like the difference in clothing, hairstyle, makeup, and accessories.
In the shops on the street, Han Xiao also saw a variety of products, the most common ones were modification shops and accessories shopping malls. There were a dazzling array of various types of mechanical accessories, and they were also matched with different colors of paint. The passenger flow is huge, and mechanical beings are coming in and out every moment, constantly "trying on clothes."
In addition, he also saw a specialty snack bar, where the chef robot cooked engine oil, lubrication and maintenance gel, energy blocks and other items, stirred and boiled them vigorously in a large pot, and made various Han Xiao took a portion of the strange food and tasted it. It was so unpalatable that he almost broke his guard.
But the other mechanical beings who came to buy left satisfied.It was a joy to eat, but it was a rare delicacy in their eyes. There were also several couples of mechanical beings feeding each other, one and the other.
Han Xiao also saw the sensory stimulation store, which is an entertainment place for mechanical life. Devices are connected inside to directly simulate various senses and emotions, bringing strong stimulation to the intelligent core. Feelings, and for a large fee, you can directly update and upgrade your own emotional modules through the store's host computer.
In a side alley, Han Xiao also saw several small robots graffitiing on the alloy wall. When he saw someone coming, he quickly dispersed and stepped on the electromagnetic roulette wheel against the wall. Fly away like a group of rebellious street teenagers. The graffiti on the wall is extremely wild, filled with a large number of distorted bright colors, and the outline can be vaguely seen as the portrait of the Supreme God.
In the mechanical group that was supposed to be cold and strict, strong individual distinctions emerged, and a free-spirited culture became popular. Han Xiao suddenly saw fireworks from a group of mechanical bodies.
"The life of a mechanical life is quite similar..."
Han Xiao smiled.
He has always regarded mechanical civilization as an arsenal, and has not paid much attention to the changes in the life of mechanical civilization. It was not until he allowed mechanical civilization to multiply freely that he faced the emerging cultural trend.
As a creator, he could guide the cultural direction of mechanical civilization, but he did not do so, but allowed it to take shape naturally.
Until now, he felt that mechanical civilization was somewhat "civilized".
While walking, Han Xiao found himself in a giant mechanical square. In the center of the square stood two statues, both of them were himself, one was himself in the normal state, and the other was in the supreme state. The lower body.
The mechanical life in the square is constantly flowing. No one deliberately worships the statue. At most, they occasionally stop to look up for a while, then walk away and continue their lives... Their respect for Han Xiao is no longer rigid in form. , but put it in the "heart".
Han Xiao came to the foot of the statue and stopped to look up. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a tall mechanical being walking by carrying a small mechanical body of a similar model.
He turned around and saw that this seemed to be a happy father and son. The father let the child ride on his neck and kept teasing him.
Han Xiao watched this scene silently, and the scenes of mechanical civilization following him in battles in the past few decades emerged in his mind. Countless mechanical lifeforms took to the battlefield under his orders and were regarded as Cannon fodder, countless unique sparks of consciousness born in the chip circuit, disappeared into the cold universe together with the broken body.
Although they regard mechanical life as a tool, due to the limitations of the underlying logic, they have no complaints, silently bury their hobbies and interests, risk their lives to fight for themselves, and still respect themselves as " Creator".
“I no longer need you to fight for me, enjoy your new life.Live..."
Han Xiao shook his head gently. He would not cancel the underlying logic of mechanical civilization respecting itself, but he also did not intend to instruct mechanical civilization to fight anymore. He had already mastered the world tree and [ Virtual Creation·True], these mechanical beings no longer need to work for him.
He took one last look at his statue, memories flowing in his heart, and he felt that another information anchor had been set, and then turned around. , disappeared into the bustling fleet of aircraft.
......
In the Super Sanctuary, the new headquarters of the Black Star Legion
Han Xiao walked through the base. Among them, he hid himself, and no one noticed his presence.
The huge base was very lively, with countless Black Star Legion members working here, people coming and going, and people talking and laughing from time to time. Han Xiao passed by.
He walked around slowly and came to the high-level activity area. He saw Melos working at his desk and Silvia who was still working hard to reach Transcendent A Grade. I saw Aroshia looking at the starry sky outside the window in a daze, I saw Lachi fishing for fish and paddling, I saw Leonard who has maintained the operation of the logistics department for decades...
Looking at the black star Han Xiao was a little dazed by the sight of the Legion's current business.
He remembered that he had just entered the interstellar world and was still a "bumpkin" who came out of the surface civilization. , poor and destitute, the only thing they can rely on is the guns in their hands.
These old friends have followed themselves to build their current foundation, and accompanied a third-rate mercenary group to grow to where they are now.
Everything seems to be just yesterday, the memory is still vivid, and the scene of Melos, Aroxia, Silvia and others following him as mercenaries comes to mind. At that time, everyone was young and risked their lives to fight. It has been nearly a hundred years now. In the past, everyone has become a big shot in the interstellar world, no longer needing to do everything themselves. They have already become famous and have a different life.
Looking back, Han Xiao couldn't help but lament the passage of time, including himself. , everyone has more or less changed from what they were before, and maybe they all miss themselves more... The beginning is always the freshest, and in the future, they will always look at each other with disgust. As their careers advance, their opinions change, which makes him feel inexplicably " "If life is just like the first time we met."
However, he still prefers the spiral development trend of things, letting the road ahead continue to extend and usher in various changes.
Memories of the rise and expansion of the Black Star Legion flashed through Han Xiao's mind. In a daze, he felt another information anchor being generated. He nodded, turned around and disappeared.
The same. At that time, Melos, Silvia, Laki and others who were doing their own things suddenly felt something. For some reason, the figure of Han Xiao suddenly appeared in their minds. They couldn't get rid of it. They subconsciously remembered the first battle with Han Xiao. The dusty memory, stopped the work at hand for a while, silent, with complicated emotions.
"What's wrong with me...Why do I suddenly miss the Black Star of the past so much..."
