This universe has been rejecting machines. This is a fact that Yu Lian knew in his previous life.

Yes, although in terms of performance, he is a world of technological prosperity after all. In this world, people can enjoy conveniences that Yu Lian could not have imagined in his time. People can travel around the world in an hour or two, eat in the old streets of Jincheng at noon, take a nap and go to the beach in the Maldives to play in the sand. People can swim in the sea of stars, soak in the stars and the universe, and go to the other side of the Milky Way to enjoy the scenery that can never be seen on the earth.

However, in its deepest core, this universe is actually very conservative in its bones.

An obvious example is the degree of automation of machinery.

Yes, if you only compare horizontally, the current level of the galactic automation machinery is of course far beyond the hometown of the parallel universe that has not even broken through the constraints of the home planet. After all, on that earth, there would be no shuttle-like mechanical police floating on the streets, and there would not be so many salted fish-like billboards floating in the sky.

But so what?

After all, this universe does not allow machinery to be able to complete the full cycle of automation work without manual labor.

The performance of the jaw-dropping information center, capable of simulating tens of millions of square kilometers in a virtual nebula network, colorful, varied, beautiful game world, capable of sustaining hundreds of millions of NPCs. However, in those colorful NPCs in the virtual world, Yu Lian can feel obviously dull.

No matter how elaborate their modeling is, it will give this obvious feeling. In all respects, it will not be more agile than those in the parallel world in his previous life, who have made up the predetermined program.

In terms of algorithms, they have locked up the concept of artificial intelligence! The reason why the current data center can undertake cosmic-level data processing is completely dependent on unscientific hardware levels.

Yes, it's "unscientific" hardware. As far as Yu Lian knows, some high-performance chips must use the "active metal" in zero elements.

Since the concept of artificial intelligence is locked, the technical ceiling of the robot is of course at a glance. At the same time, if a large number of mechanical bionic prosthetics are replaced in the human body, whether they are still human or not has been a long-standing topic of controversy in all walks of life.

This controversial topic was settled more than 150 years ago. The Galactic Council of Civilizations has adopted a resolution declaring the transformation of human prosthetics illegal.

In all fairness, the decision came a little suddenly. But at that time, the empire and the alliance, which were already hostile to each other, all raised their hands to pass this decision, and it always felt like it would make people think about it!

However, at that time, the genetic diagnosis and treatment technology was already mature, and whether it was blind or disabled, soaking in a petri dish could always grow a perfect organ. So on the whole, the general public did not oppose much, and they quickly accepted this fact.

Of course, determination is determination, and reality is reality. In reality, in order to make your body stronger, you add a power furnace to your stomach, change your arm to a Swiss Army knife, and secretly install a gun carriage on your thigh, especially in the black (meow) road.

Of course, the military also has it...... But mainly in some small countries where the parliaments of civilizations are too lazy to bother.

However, this level of transformation like that of the old man Trent is no longer illegal in the eyes of the public, and it is simply a demonic way of abandoning "the spiritual flesh and blood given to us by the spirit of the universe". Definitely idealistic fools are the most hated beings.

Behind hatred is often fear! But Yu Lian really didn't understand, what were the big names of the Empire, the Alliance, and the Void Spirit Temple afraid of? In his previous life, he really didn't understand it at all.

In short, places like Old Man Trende's respiratory system, arms, heart, etc., have become mechanical semi-prosthetic people. If it is discovered, there is a high probability that it will be destroyed humanely, right?

After he appeared, he didn't deliberately use the bionic machinery in his body to simulate his heartbeat and breathing, and it seemed that he was not ready to hide his identity at all. This is equivalent to handing over the gun to Yu Lian, showing a considerable degree of sincerity.

What's more, when Yu Lian saw the gear tattoo on the back of the other party's hand, he was completely relieved.

In fact, the existence of a semi-mimetic prosthetic like the old man Trende is actually not a minority. The mutual aid organization they formed was the Brotherhood of Intelligent Machines, which was quite famous in the "inner world" in later generations.

The people there are very capable, they all speak well, and everyone is an engineering and technical nerd with a high level of materialism and low material desire, and Yu Lian likes it there very much. If it weren't for the fact that the organization only accepted this kind of semi-simulated prosthetic people, Yu Lian might have joined in.

At the thought of this, his eyes suddenly brightened, full of friendliness and affection.

The old man Trent didn't expect his identity to be revealed at all, and said with a smile: "Before I carried out this kind of prosthetic transformation, it was already before the promulgation of the "Prosthetic Transformation Prohibition Law". Although you can't use the sword of the previous dynasty to cut down the officials of the current dynasty, there will always be a lot of trouble if you are discovered. ”

That is to say, this old man is probably 200 years old. However, it is normal for the elders of the Brotherhood of Wisdom to have this age. After all, it's a bunch of "flesh and blood"!

…… However, thinking of this, Yu Lian 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'm a living cute 15-year-old girl!" Nair said angrily, "Don't look at me like I am, I'm also a sensitive person." If it's really transformed, there won't be a way to wake up in the future, right? ”

Indeed, psionics can only be born from naturally born creatures. This seems to be the iron rule of this stupid idealist power as well.

"Nair is indeed my granddaughter. It's just that her mother was an orphan I adopted. In my long waiting years, it was she who gave me the greatest comfort. Speaking of this, the old man Trende sighed, "She left, but she finally left Nair, such a gifted child. ”

"It's nice to be gifted! If I had such a talent back then, I wouldn't have to suffer like this...... However, if you want to prolong your life to more than 200 years, you must at least break through the seven rings, right? Thinking about it this way, it is really more convenient to transform the prosthesis! No way, I promised my lord, it really takes time. Old Man Trende laughed.

With genetic diagnosis and treatment technology, human beings can theoretically live to the limit of medical lifespan, that is, more than 120 years old. But that being said, even now, even the average medical lifespan in the league is only 90 years old.

"Isn't that a good thing? Mom and Dad said no, and it was gone. But if you say, I don't have to worry about you suddenly being gone! So that you can stay with me until the end. Nair said with a grin.

Old Trende had a straight face and wanted to preach, but before that, the little girl had already jumped out of the door. The space for secret conversations was left to the two of them again.

"So, you are not a descendant of the retainer of Count Salvin, but himself. Right? ”

Trende smiled and nodded: "I have received the Earl's great favor, and I am also his most trusted person." That's why I must keep my promise with him! ”

For this kind of feudal foolishness, loyalty and filial piety, Yu Lian is not too easy to describe. It is indeed a virtue, but it seems to have little constructive significance, so it can only be skimmed over and straight to the point: "So, what is the thing you promised?" You're not waiting for me to come, are you? ”

If that's the case, that Count Salvin can't be described as a nine-ring boss, and he is clearly a true god who follows his word! Isn't it the will of the legendary Enlighteners! Or even the embodiment 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 counts this point.

"The mission I got was to give the clues left by the Earl to the people who came after me 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 appear with the Count's token, I will give him the clues he left behind, and this is my mission. ”

Yu Lian thought for a moment and said, "So, you were deceived by a person in the financial circle before, and you almost pressed your store up, but it was actually fishing, right?" ”

The old man nodded: "You are indeed very smart, Mr. Yu Lian. ”

Yu Lian was not surprised at all that the other party could guess his identity. Since this guy is a semi-android, he may have installed a terminal connected to the Nebula Network in his head, and there must be a camera behind his eyes, just put his appearance on the Internet and compare it.

I'm also a celebrity in size, although I've been out of gas for a month, but after all, I still have to have some effect.

"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.

Trende nodded and said with a smile: "She is very similar to the Countess when she was young, and she also has the token left by the Lady in her hand. ”

…… This plot is suddenly a little bloody! Yu Lian sighed.

Speaking of this, the old man stood up, walked to the grocery store behind him, rummaged through it, and finally found a painting scroll and handed it to Yu Lian: "This is the old man"

"She didn't take it?"

"The Earl's order is to let her see, not let her take it!"

"So, what am I?"

"The young lady has appeared, so I have fulfilled the last order of the count. After that, everything he left behind was mine, and I gave it to whoever I wanted. Old Man Trende smiled.

"To tell you the truth, I don't want that young lady, even though she looks pitiful and exhausted, as if all the cruelty of the world weighed on her shoulders. As a result, her eyes seemed to be infused with all the cruelty and blood of the world! At that time, I told myself that whoever was the first to find her trail would give this thing to whomever she wanted! ”

This is not convincing at all, and those who are more suspicious are afraid that they will have to use the knife. However, Old Man Trefde's words were full of natural meaning.

"So, Mr. Yu Lian, do you dare to take it?" His voice suddenly sank, and his eyes flashed a man-made red again.
