Soul of Burning Steel

PS: The plan was wrong. The editor told me that it would be better to open the book earlier, so it is estimated that a new book will be opened in the next few days.

There are also close to 6w words in the manuscript, but I have only rested for less than 10 days. Alas, it’s so tiring…The new book issue may be slower, even if it is my extended rest time.

I originally planned to write a little more about Fanwai in the next month, but it seems that I have no relationship with Fanwai, so that’s it.

The following is the repost of the old fan, it is estimated that there is this chapter, and the typo is also corrected

=========

The morning air in the Space City is always a little dry, and the breeze is blowing, although it is cool, but it does not have the meaning of natural freshness.

‘Utopia One’, the first generation of purely mechanical space city.

Although it has been remodeled many times, even from the inside to the outside, the circulation system is still not perfect, and the temperature is right, but it always feels as unnatural as an air-conditioned room. After all, it’s an old thing, and it’s normal for it to be tinkered and not as good as new technology.

However, for Liu Rui’an, the’heavenly native’ born in the Space City, this is the nature in his perception-the mountains and rivers on the earth, flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, scorpions, and even the’natural environment’ of pollen and water vapor. , It’s not much better than hell.

“It’s still the space city that looks pleasing to the eye. If it is not necessary in this life, I will never return to Earth.”

After leaving the spaceport, Liu Ruian mumbled to herself. After all, there is nothing to do with such things as earth air allergies except for remodeling operations, but since remodeling operations are required, of course, it must be improved by the way?

In this way, the cost can be increased, even if it is a contemporaneous generation, you have to make contributions before you can enjoy the corresponding rights.

In short, it has nothing to do with him, a twenty-year-old who has just graduated from university.

“Ford, help with the luggage.”

There are not many people in the spaceport recently, which is normal. After all, the high-tech development zones of human civilization are now based on Mars and Saturn bases, and the orbits around the Earth-Moon are basically old towns.

Now, the major government departments and military facilities are also being built here. Liu Ruian motioned to his robot butler to pick up the suitcase, and then called an automatic scooter to sit straight on: “Go to the upper city zone 1.”

“no problem.”

The housekeeper responded with a smile. He is an AI, and the scooter driver is naturally also an intelligent AI. Of course, they are not the seventh-level artificial intelligence with citizenship rights, and that level of artificial intelligence works in major academies. The AI ​​used for service work is only about five levels at most, which can complete a certain degree of intelligent communication and understand various metaphorical phrases.

Most of the intelligent butlers who are human assistants are at level 6, and with a little upgrade, they can have citizenship rights.

In fact, many housekeepers of wealthy families have citizenship rights.

After hearing Liu Rui’an’s words, the scooter started directly and hovered towards District 1.

Ruian Liu, born in the space city of Xuanyue 3, genetic modifier, graduated from Interstellar 211 University, majoring in deep space engineering, dreams of going to Mars to work for the Getta Energy Group.

Of course, ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel. In the contemporary era when all physical activities are replaced by intelligent robots, the requirements for creative work have become unprecedentedly high. Getta Group is a first-class deep space exploration company in the interstellar world, and even has independent exploration. How can such a large company be accessible to an ordinary college student?

Not to mention the advantages of genetic modifiers-for so many years, the entire human civilization circle has not a few purebred earthlings, it is because their natural genes are perfect and do not need to be modified, and there are only a few who are not genetic modifiers… After all, ordinary flesh and blood are short, and mechanical and genetic modification are immortal.

Therefore, in order to accumulate sufficient qualifications and knowledge, Liu Ruian had to give up her illusion, and returned to the Earth circle under the arrangement of her father to find a job in an ordinary deep space engineering studio, and slowly change jobs in the future.

Speaking of it, that company is not ordinary strictly speaking. Although it was founded by Yingzhou people, it is not very famous now, but the name of’Saotome Lab’ is quite famous among the older generations, and his father seems to be a flower. It took a lot of relationships to put myself in.

In the future, go back and give Dad some gifts-what he likes to say…

In the great contemporaries, people can choose not to work, enjoy the freedom, and just play life, but to be honest, this is the logic of the older generation. For the real Datong new human beings, “work” and “needed by others” And “being recognized” is the real luxury.

For these new humans who have enjoyed enormous resources from birth, they will feel happy only if they are’recognized’ by the society.

“None of them feel bored? Endless pure enjoyment, what is the difference between injecting hormones directly into the brain…”

The speed of the scooter is not fast, but it is absolutely stable. Liu Ruian can see rows of houses passing by. The adjuster can see clearly that the eyesight of the adjuster is comparable to the goshawk. The houses have been’closed’. This It meant that his owner gave up his physical body in the real world and chose to invest himself in the electronic world, which made him sigh.

This is the old city of the great contemporaries, and most people enter the “earth and moon area” of the cyber world.

‘Utopia One’ space city is actually quite alive. Liu Ruian can see that there are still many people in the center of the city. You should know that some space cities are simply very large warehouses that store all kinds of wet computers. Besides the AI ​​intelligence for daily maintenance, there is no physical body at all.

After all, the space city is not big, and the scooter soon came to District 1, which is the central residential area. Housing allocation has long been a common practice, except that there is really no room, otherwise anyone can choose a house to use in the local area wherever they go.

Of course, the house does not belong to you after you leave. Generally speaking, only those with high authority who have made contributions can enjoy multiple fixed houses at the same time-this of course is not unfair, let alone talk about it, the seventh generation super How many houses can the chief researcher of Space Engine live in? The Earth Federation Science Committee hopes that everyone is so powerful, then the conquest of the galaxy by mankind may be just around the corner.

When the scooter left in Zone 1, Liu Rui’an and Ford, his machine butler, came to a small building with their luggage. If it is an ordinary non-contributing citizen, the natural housing benefits are only ‘one house’, but as a ‘higher university graduate’ who has proven his ability to contribute to human civilization, Liu Rui’an can enjoy a small building exclusively.

After instructing Ford to place his luggage, Liu Ruian stretched out, and then planned to walk around on foot to see who the neighbors were.

“It’s best to have some common topics, not to mention understanding of deep space projects, it is good to be able to play’Dispute Continent’.”

Liu Rui’an still remembered that when he was temporarily living in Lunar City on the 66th, no one played Bihong Fantasy after looking for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to abandon the pit and switch to the tragic experience of the Mainland of Strife—he was not one. Wouldn’t it be better for people who can spend the entire day on the virtual network to communicate in reality, have a meal together, and go to the scene to buy peripherals?

Speaking of it, I am not big or small in the game, and I can be regarded as an’extremely master’. Although it is not comparable to that group of professional players’ legends, in the version of “Dispute Continent: The Wave of Death”, the extreme intention is already As a high-end person, you can take on the’World Assistance Task’.

Withdrawing his thoughts about the game, Liu Rui’an went around, but found nothing interesting. Although there is relatively little ‘closedness’ here, there are currently no living people living…I’m afraid most of them are playing in the center of the city, right?

Speaking of it, it seems that I did see the advertisement for the “Goblin Card Offline Contest”.

Alas, he really doesn’t know how to do this, there is really no way he can.

But, walking on, somehow, Liu Ruian came to a strange building.

“Hey, what architectural style is this? It occupies a huge area!”

For some reason, Liu Rui’an was shocked by just one glance. He raised his head and looked at this very simple and weird architectural plaque for the contemporaries: “No. 1 in the sky…invincible in all directions…”

“Qiao’s Martial Arts Hall.”

Wuguan?

What is that?

Why does this martial arts hall cover an area as large as seven or eight buildings — no, what kind of building is this? Who on earth has this authority and monopolizes such a large place!

There was doubt in his heart, but Liu Rui’an didn’t bother rashly. He could see that the martial arts hall was not closed, and there should be living people with flesh inside. In this case, come visit with a gift next time.

Thinking of this, Liu Rui’an returned to his home-butler Ford had not only arranged all the luggage according to his preferences, but was even cooking curry. Although the food of the motherland is good, there is no such thing as curry. While waiting for his second meal today, he closes his eyes, activates the chip in his brain, and enters the “Star Net”.

Although the Internet is changing with each passing day, the nature has not changed much.

Although some people on Mars say that they can connect to the star network without relying on chips, and even communicate with human consciousness, but that is obviously just fake news. The illusion caused by diving into the game and playing more, after all, where the reality is super Ability and spiritual communication are here. It is better to say that it is the airwave communication of cyber transformation. There is no scientific common sense.

After searching for the term ‘wuguan’, Liu Rui’an couldn’t help but suddenly realized that it turned out to be the place used by the ancient earth people to sharpen their bodies, exercise their will, and learn skills, just like school.

In that case, it should be the prototype of the various genetic modification groups today, right? The owner of the Qiao’s Martial Arts Hall should be the manager of a large genetic modification group, so that it would make sense to occupy such a large area.

“It’s a pity, I’m more towards cyberspace, after all, it would be a bit difficult for genetic modification to be active in deep space.

Muttered, Liu Rui’an didn’t pay much attention to it-what’s the matter with the leaders of big companies? Everyone has the same personality. If the authority is low, just hug your thighs. What’s so great!

What’s more, the Getta Group he wants to go to is Deep Space Energy, which has nothing to do with genetic modification… In fact, it still has something to do with it, but since it can’t affect the future, then don’t care too much, just lick it. That’s it, don’t care too much.

“Next time it’s better to bring some gifts… Qiao, I should also be from Zhenghua area, then I will bring something to cook for myself? Although my cooking skills are not very good, at least it is about the same as Ford.”

Originally, Liu Rui’an planned to let Ford make some snacks to deliver, but who doesn’t have an AI butler and maid? It’s more sincere to do it yourself, not to mention that I originally planned to give each of my neighbors a copy. It must be my own hands to show the friendship.

——Before you concentrate on doing your own things, you should establish a good relationship with everyone, so that no one will bother you while you are doing things. ——Lao Liu’s family motto, looking at his father’s expression, obviously it took a lot of hardship to conclude from.

“Ford-help me order a batch of pure and selected raw beef!”

“Yes, sir. What ingredients do you want to make?”

“You don’t need to do it, I will do it myself.”

Pies are naturally delicious with meat. Liu Ruian was not idle either. While preparing to go to the Saotome studio, he carefully chopped the stuffing and kneaded the noodles-leaving aside the process, the pie was ready.

“Thinking that when I was practicing cooking, people around me praised me, but unfortunately, I couldn’t exceed the limit of AI and reach the’professional level’.”

At the same time, everything that the sixth-level AI can do, even if it’s playing football and cooking, is of ‘amateur level’. Only by exceeding this standard can it be regarded as a professional and get the right to ‘work’.

Liu Rui’an’s professional knowledge naturally reached the eighth level of the major long ago. You only need to advance two more levels to reach the’Elite’ level. At that time, there were opportunities to work in the Getta Group. It’s a pity, many people Stuck on these two levels for a lifetime. As for culinary skills, Liu Rui’an also has an amateur ninth level. If it were in the old earth era, he would be a master chef.

As for the chefs of this era, that is, at the top of the ‘professional’ level and the ‘elite’ level, the only criterion is that the food will shine after it is made. I don’t know if it is based on falsehood. Liu Rui’an was skeptical when he heard what his friend said. However, his friend’s unsuspecting appearance was so convincing that he couldn’t help but believe it.

Bringing the gift, Liu Rui’an first visited the neighbors around him-most of them were ordinary people. The two sides scanned the chip information for each other even if they knew each other. After receiving the gift, they smiled and greeted a few words, thinking about something in the future. Will mention it to him instead of rejecting it as a stranger.

Finally, he walked to the strange martial arts hall.

To be honest, Liu Rui’an is really curious about what the martial arts hall is like, is it full of genetic modification warehouses, or is it a bit like a flesh-and-blood laboratory? If it’s the latter, the meaty pie doesn’t feel very suitable, which he just thought of.

“Hello, I am a new neighbor who has just moved here, LRA530051 Liu Rui’an, and I will visit with you.”

“……come in.”

The gate of the martial arts hall opened, and Liu Rui’an, who looked curious, stepped into it like this.

However, it was a little disappointed.

Why, there is nothing, just an empty yard, and a small building behind?

What a waste of so much vacant space!

Even though he thought of it, Liu Rui’an didn’t show it. He saw a figure in the courtyard, which should be the one who opened the door for him before, so he walked forward and took a look.

Then, he was stunned for a moment.

——So beautiful…No, it’s so handsome!

It was a beautiful black-haired young man in a cyan robes, with long hair tied into a ponytail, and his cyan eyes were bright with evil spirits. The light was like the blue sky and blue clouds falling into the earth, and it was like the incarnation of the Nine Heavens Tribulation Thunder. Generally speaking, although he is handsome, he knows that he is not a good person to provoke at a glance.

Although there is one genetic modifier, all of them are handsome and beautiful APP16, but with this kind of temperament, it is enough to be a touring superstar.

At this moment, the beautiful young man was holding the broom and swept the floor for a while. Although I wonder why the other party didn’t let the butler AI do it, everyone has their own quirks. Liu Rui’an doesn’t talk so much! A little restrained by those indifferent eyes, but Liu Ruian still laughed boldly: “Hello, I am the new neighbor next door, come to see you.”

“Um… new neighbor, the person you want to meet should be the master.”

Raising his head and taking a look, the beautiful boy continued to clean, and said faintly: “Let’s visit again next time.”

“Master?”

It’s a relatively new vocabulary, but after searching the information in the martial arts gym, Liu Rui’an understands a little bit-isn’t it a teacher, the genetic modification technology in the earth age is not good, and every successful transformation is like regenerating parents, so except for the teacher ‘In addition to the word “Father”.

……It should be this source, right?

“…Well, I am the’former’ disciple of this martial arts gym. I have already graduated and I don’t usually live here.”

When he said this, the black-haired boy seemed to have scanned some stubborn garbage, so he frowned and poked hard—I don’t know if it was an illusion. Liu Rui’an felt that something very magnificent was shaking, and there was time and space running through it for a long time. The wailing sounded, spreading to the vast distance, but after looking back, the other party was just an ordinary sweeping.

“These **** are really stubborn.” The beautiful boy sighed in a low voice, “Why should I do these things.”

“In that case, I’d better wait until the host comes back to visit again next time-this friend, the present will be given to you first.”

Instinctively a little afraid of the weird hallucination, Liu Ruian couldn’t help swallowing, and then planned to withdraw. Sure enough, this is where the leaders of the big group are located. The pressure is so heavy that he is not breathing well.

But hearing these words, the beautiful young man with black hair raised his head, looked at Liu Rui’an quite unexpectedly, and then smiled slightly—either the kind of laughter, or the corners of his mouth.

“Your qualities are pretty good, and your spiritual sense is very high. Not only can you find this place, but you can also feel the ‘Robbery Wave’… Well, although this gift is meaningless, your intentions are very real.”

He whispered in a low voice, and his voice was very nice, but for some reason, there seemed to be a little echo, as if it was transmitted from a great distance from a lot of voices-as soon as he changed his mind, this feeling disappeared: “For us, The mind is the most important thing.”

“All right, I will accept your gift by exception.”

—— Make an exception to accept? It’s just a gift, is it necessary to be so exaggerated…

When in doubt, I don’t know whether it was handed it by myself or the other party took it away. Anyway, in confusion, Liu Ruian found that he had entered the interior of the martial arts hall. He was sitting at the table with a cup of clear tea on him. before.

“After receiving your gift, you are a guest, please sit down.”

At the other end of the table is the young man who had been cleaning up before. He was serving tea for himself. He had no manners, so he took a casual sip: “After drinking the tea, let’s go.”

“Oh… OK.”

Sitting very restrained, Liu Rui’an took a sip of tea—it was delicious indeed! Just taking a sip, I feel refreshed and refreshed, and I feel refreshed. I don’t know how much higher it is than those energy drinks!

What kind of new tea is this? It is a large-scale genetic modification group. This tea must be a special product with high authority. With this thing, you don’t need to drink so many energy drinks when you write your own design!

However, it was a bit embarrassing to drink tea without talking. Liu Rui’an turned his head and looked around, as if he was planning to find some topic: “Um… this martial arts hall is very big.”

“Yes.” The boy replied faintly, even with a sneer: “After all, there are a lot of people on the master’s side. What kind of housekeeper and maid’s weapon mounts and friends together with a lot of people, the place is not big, how can I live.”

“I’m relatively lonely. I’ve been alone in the past few years. Alas, the apprentice can’t live up to it.”

——So you also have an apprentice… Then why are you only one person? Liu Ruian wanted to ask this, but he felt that he would end up badly when he said it, so he resisted it.

In order to alleviate this embarrassment, Liu Rui’an scratched his head and thought, remembering the plaque at the beginning, and subconsciously asked: “Right, that plaque at the door…”

“Master, he got it when he fought invincible hands all over the sky and underground in the Global Fighting Competition. At that time, I was young, and it is not clear that I was adopted afterwards.”

It seems that Liu Rui’an didn’t know for a long time. Tsing Yi Boy explained: “Now it’s basically genetic martial arts, or armor fighting. No one fights purely physically, so the gold content is not that big. But at the time, it was indeed a sensation. , So much so that many experts who did not participate in the competition came to challenge-that is the origin of the invincibility of the ten directions, after all, no matter whether it is a competition or a private challenge, you can’t beat it, you can only pinch your nose to recognize it.”

“Unfortunately, people nowadays don’t practice martial arts anymore, and they don’t have the energy to challenge the limit.”

“Well, the times are advancing…”

Hearing such a reason, Liu Ruian should have a little sympathy for this martial arts gym-after all, the new era of genetic martial arts and armor fighting are far better than pure physical combat countless times, but he doesn’t know why, but he has a sense of reason. In other words, he vaguely sympathizes with those who do not practice martial arts.

why? ? ?

Liu Rui’an was puzzled, but the boy in Tsing Yi nodded thoughtfully: “This spiritual consciousness is indeed not low. Whether it is cultivating my way or practicing the way of the teacher, it can be called a seed. Even, Even if you continue to study as a researcher, you can achieve considerable results and become the first teacher of a generation.”

interesting.

“Hey.”

He came casually, and said: “Are you interested in martial arts?”

Learn martial arts?

Hearing this, Liu Ruian couldn’t help but froze for a moment… Martial arts, fighting skills?

Oh, who would be interested in this kind of thing now, not to mention the genetic martial arts that perfectly integrates all the martial arts experience into the physical instinct, even if it is directly loaded into the experience of all the masters of the past through the electronic chip, it can also be used for ordinary cyberspace. People easily become the master of fighting.

What’s more, their joints and body flexibility are all non-human, and they can attack from all kinds of dead spots for humans. They can’t be beaten if they are not modified, and they can be used as ordinary humans to practice martial arts. Meaningless.

Although, the truth is this truth.

But I don’t know why, but Liu Rui’an feels very tempting.

How to say, I don’t know why, it’s a bit…

“Want to learn.”

The body is faster than the speed of thinking, he replied directly, as if to prove that he was not impulsive, he nodded seriously: “I want to learn.”

“That’s OK, let’s add friends from the Conflict Continent first-don’t look strange. Isn’t your shirt the commemorative edition of the Empire North, think about it, this is also a kind of ‘cause and effect’.”

To Liu Rui’an, who was a little confused, the young man smiled slightly: “The name of the guild is’Soul of Burning Steel’-remember to search.”

Let’s not talk about searching in the game in the future, and going directly through the body to go to the researcher Liu Rui’an of ‘exercise martial arts’. That’s another story.

At this moment.

The Earth Federal Science Council is in chaos.

“What’s the matter?! Has the psionic detector failed?”

“Impossible, our psionic reconnaissance system imitating the alien warship is even higher than the technology on the alien spacecraft-those bugs are really gone!”

“How is it possible… is it that they have jumped? Or are they in a warped state?”

“No hyperspace signals were detected-they were all gone in an instant!”

“What happened…”

The entire Earth Science Committee is in great confusion-the real cause of the end of World War III, a psionic alien spacecraft that fell on the back of the moon, and an interstellar natural disaster called the’Mayfly Zerg’, which is approaching constantly, unexpectedly Just like that, disappeared in an instant?

Even, not only that, some researchers who were still observing stared at the psionic star chart in front of them in dismay, and could not say a word.

Because, there is an entire galaxy, and even more galaxies, are becoming pitch black, and then light up again-no, that’s not right, the entire universe is changing! All kinds of unknown galaxies, unknown galaxy clusters, and even larger and more celestial structures, which God knows where come from, suddenly appeared in the endless sky!

If this universe was created by God and his old man, then this time can be described as a real-time ‘continuous online update’!

The entire universe ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is undergoing tremendous changes.

“Oh? Do you think you can find a little guy with potential? No problem, no problem, whatever you do… Speaking of which, don’t you have an apprentice over there, called Wang Qing or something? Oh, you don’t plan to accept apprentices, Just teach it whatever you want.”

“That’s okay, people have their own way, we can naturally influence as a’torrent’, but watching the water droplets become a big river is also his natural meaning and fun.”

Hanging up the communication, a black shadow looked at the “Mayfly Phantom” in his hand, and his voice couldn’t help but feel a little emotional: “I didn’t expect that the old home also has a multiverse information projection of the future sage… It seems that the two multiverses were really close at first. , They are all influencing each other.”

“When I crossed it, it was not a miracle, but it was also a foreshadowing.”

In the silent void, the dark shadow gradually manifested into a human form. The man who manipulated a wave of’cosmic version updates’ whispered to himself and threw the phantom of the mayfly in the void behind him, then looked at the universe in front of him, nodded and said: “The scenery of my hometown is a bit more interesting than I thought… …If I crossed a little later, I’m afraid I would switch to psionics.”

“It’s been a long time since I saw you so happy.”

Beside, there was a girlish voice with a sigh.

“I am always so happy to see something unexpected.”

Hearing this voice, the man smiled at the winged girl next to him. Only with this smile can I tell that this extremely powerful man turned out to be a very attractive person, but his solemnity was too deep, which was enough to tear it apart. Everything is covered up by the conflict of shattering everything.

“Just like you.”

Hearing this, the girl’s face was startled, but before she was happy, another man’s leisurely sentence came: “And everyone.”

“Joe-Xiu-Ya!”
