Chapter 1: Roger
On the shore of Jiangding Lake, there is a pavilion in the sky. Looking out of the attic window, you can see the lake above and the river below. Heaven and earth are above and below.
On all sides of the attic, there are mecha fighters hovering, and the phantoms of the mecha are projected in Tongxin Lake, and reflected in the Xiaoqi River, as if hovering in two mirrors, mapping back and forth, and making thousands of green shadows, which has some endless meanings.
In the center of the empty attic, there are two people sitting playing chess, one big like a mountain, a small one like a doll, and behind the two, on one side is a Duanshui maid in an orchid embroidered brocade skirt, and on the other side is a guard warrior with a mecha structure.
"Little Luban, it's your turn." Shan said.
The machine-made doll didn't say a word, looked at Qijiang outside the window, and silently counted one, two, three, four, five. On the Qi River, there are four or five sail boats gliding through the mirror, cutting the river water. It just so happened that the five sails were connected, and the chess pieces on the chessboard moved by themselves.
"It's these clever tricks again, using the things of heaven and earth to do chess. You're still so bored. ”
"Are you playing chess, or is it playing you?"
"Like you, I'm afraid this game will have to go another thousand years."
The mountain-like man is elegant, with a lupine scarf, but he has a fiery temper.
"A thousand years is a thousand years, in this fourfold space, time is a parameter, what is the difference between a thousand years and a cup of tea."
"This heaven and earth chess game was originally designed to be in charge of the nine heavens and ten earths, the heavens are endless, and I will play whatever the chessboard says."
"There is no end to the heavens, and the old man has always believed that man will win the day."
Suddenly, a strong wind rose on the surface of the lake, and countless silver shavings floated. And Qijiang is shaped like a white snake, as if it has vitality, but it is also trembling slightly.
"The gentleman has no regrets, since you are like this, the old man will take your five-sailed boat and see what waves they can make."
"Qiankun is wonderful, heaven and earth articles, all beings are children, and heaven and earth are chess. Since it is a chess game with heaven and earth, it is natural to be in the world and invite you to enter the game. ”
After speaking, clouds and mist rose on the chessboard, and the horizontal and vertical latitudes gradually blurred. Immediately, two rays of light and shadow flew towards the heaven and earth chess game, and they did not enter the square inch.
……
Roger has been in a trance for the past two days, and it seems that tons of video materials have been stored in his mind, which have been playing on a loop at intervals.
And there has always been a sizzling electric current in his head, so that he can't go to class, can't perform martial arts, and has no intention of sleeping peacefully. Sometimes his body would shake unconsciously with the sizzling sound, like a malfunctioning robot.
Finally, the massive amount of data overwhelmed his brain, and Roger fell asleep. When he woke up again, the massive amount of information had been sorted out by his brain, and a database appeared in Roger's mind.
"This is, a mechanic's memory data?" Roger touched the brain-computer interface on the back of his head, which was still a little hot, and was stunned.
The mechanic is an almost immortal and immortal existence on the King Continent, and his status is extremely lofty. To put it simply, in the King Continent, everyone wants to be a mechanic.
The network on the king continent has developed greatly, and the human gathering area has almost achieved ten thousand Internet of Things, ten thousand Internet of Things can control everything, and mechanics can control everything.
The memory data of the mechanic is an important part of the source code second only to the heart of the machine. As for the mechanical heart, it is actually a string of consciousness codes, and it is a "machine soul" that can pass the advanced Turing test.
Luckily, Roger only had data in his head, otherwise he would have been a puppet by now, and the mechanical heart could be separated from the body and reborn on any internet-connected device, which is why they are almost immortal.
As a Level 3 Mechanic, Roger knew exactly what these memories meant.
The sudden prompt made Roger retract, "Roger, a second-level martial artist, fail!" ”
Looking at the few dazzling words thrown in front of the smart optical brain instrument, the corners of Roger's mouth pursed down, showing embarrassment.
Although most of the test results are known before the results are announced. But when it came time to announce it in public, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Roger, successfully developed two super genes, a second-level beginner martial artist, martial arts score: 47, ranking: 632!" After the text appeared, the intelligent light brain then announced the detection results.
Before the words were over, there was a commotion in the assessment square.
"Second-level martial artist, this score can be ranked in the bottom ten of the history of the ninety-fourth lieutenant colonel, right?"
"Yes, generally speaking, even the most gifted student is a fourth-level martial artist in the second year of middle school. This Roger is indeed a wonder! ”
"Actually, we have to thank Roger, if it weren't for him, who would remember that there were 632 people in our class."
"By the way, I heard that he was selected to participate in the academy of Jixia Academy before, I really don't know how he was selected in the first place."
"The academy of Jixia Academy?" When many teenagers heard this extremely sacred name for them, their eyes were full of yearning and fire.
It is the dream of all students, and it is the highest martial arts and academic hall on the King Continent, and there is no one.
The biennial academy of Jixia Academy is known as the King Genius Camp, and only the best students are eligible to be selected.
But even if the imagination of the more than 300 people present is all combined, it is difficult for everyone to associate Roger's achievements with the academy of Jixia Academy.
Could it be that the selection criteria for the academy are not the best, but the worst?
"And I've heard that about halfway through the training camp, he voluntarily gave up his training camp qualifications."
"What? Give up? Didn't he know that if he successfully passed the training camp, he could get the priority and early admission qualification of Jixia Academy, and it could almost be said that he had already entered Jixia Academy with half a foot. ”
"I think it's because of his strength and being kicked out by others, who will leave the academy of Jixia Academy if his brain is broken, do you think it is possible to stay in the academy where the genius is like a cloud with his strength?"
"Yes, yes...... It's better to give up than to be kicked out. “
The surrounding discussion and ridicule were like wooden thorns, all nailed into the boy's ears, but the boy was expressionless and did not say a word. A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around slightly, leaving the testing area and returning to the middle of the testing team.
I'm helpless too. The boy sighed softly in his heart.
There are two forces on the King Continent that have been playing with each other, one is the Demon Martial Dao, through the cultivation of their own strength, breaking through their own limits and becoming a super soldier.
The other is the trick of the machine, which is good at pretending to be things, and strengthening oneself by exerting the power of technology and institutions.
"Don't take their words to heart, if you really want to fight, none of them will be your opponent." Wei Wenhao leaned over and whispered in Roger's ear.
Roger nodded lightly at Wei Wenhao, then grinned slightly, his shoulders shrugged slightly. "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Not many people know about themselves, but good brother Wei Wenhao still knows some.
The reason why he was able to participate in the academy of Jixia Academy was not to rely on his talent in martial arts, as for the matter of taking the initiative to withdraw from the academy, he would do it without hesitation a hundred times.
However, his achievements in martial arts are full of unwillingness.
"Wow, Goddess Murong!"
As the assessment continued, a familiar figure appeared in Roger's eyes, and his heartbeat accelerated slightly.
Wearing long hair in a shawl, silver-white warrior armor, cool high boots, and a beautiful face, the teenagers on the direct training field were stupid.
"Murong Wan'er, successfully developed six super genes, a sixth-level mid-level martial artist, martial arts score: 257, ranking: 3! Talents: Honorable! "The intelligent light brain reported the results of the white-armored girl.
Not surprisingly, there was another commotion in the assessment square.
"Sixth-level martial artist, why is this girl so fierce, fourteen-year-old sixth-level martial artist, this talent is placed in the entire Beiyuan, and it can be ranked in the top ten, right?"
"How can Wan'er's appearance be only in the top ten in Beiyuan, that is the best in the first place?"
"Go and go, who told you about your appearance, we are talking about talent!"
"Is there a difference between appearance and talent for Goddess Murong? Anyway, they are the first among their peers in Beiyuan! ”
Roger looked at the girl's shadow, and his heart beat a little faster. "Wan'er's talent, even if it is placed in the academy that is as talented as a cloud that day, I am afraid it can be ranked at the middle level."
No different from the fanatical teenagers in the field, Murong Wan'er is also the goddess in Roger's heart, but he has never said it to others.
He knew that the distance between himself and Murong Wan'er was not just a difference in martial arts.
Most of the time, he just wants to be a distant observer, quietly watching her, and becoming one of her many admirers. Occasionally imagining that he will have the opportunity to be admitted to the same college with her in the future is enough to make him secretly bloom a flower in his heart.
But Jixia Academy, Jixia Academy! Kinoshita College...... Alas.
Drawing on the talent selection model of the ancient earth civilization, the King Continent recruits talents all over the world through the form of high school entrance examination and college entrance examination, and the examination is divided into four subjects: sociology, history, artificial intelligence (organ art) and martial arts.
Among them, 150 points for social history and wisdom, and 300 points for Wu Zong, if you want to successfully pass the assessment, in addition to the total score must reach the line, the single subject score must also pass the line.
Towards the end of the assessment, a figure was cast above the square, and a man with a thick beard came into everyone's eyes out of thin air, a phantory figure thirty meters long and wide, but even every beard on his face could be seen.
With the development of MR and hybrid projection technology, people have been able to express things in every detail.
"You've disappointed me." The bearded dean said in a low tone with a serious face. "This time, there are only 11 classmates who have more than 240 points!"
The King Continent respects martial arts, and Wu Zong has a transcendent status in the King Continent, after all, sociology and history, the gap between everyone's scores is not too big.
As the bearded director spoke, the corners of his mouth and beard continued to twitch and sway, like a group of monkeys jumping up and down dancing around his mouth, constantly doing irregular circular movements with traction.
"You're the worst I've ever had!"
Mu Dabeard beat word by word, beating on the hearts of every student in the assessment field.
"What are you doing in school, one by one, the glory of kings is so good, how can you study and you can't do it?"
"What did your parents do when they sent you to school, is it so difficult for you to become a martial artist?"
"What makes me angry is that there are still seven classmates in our grade who are below eighty points this time? It's nothing short of a miracle! ”
"Even if it's a pig, if you stay in our Beiyuan Ninety-four Middle School for half a year, it is estimated that you can get seventy or eighty points, right?"
Unsurprisingly, some students who knew or didn't know set their sights on Roger, the "pig" that Director Mu said.
Many girls couldn't help it, pursed their lips and snickered.
"Laugh at what laughs, I'll see who's laughing!" Although it is a remote connection, every move of the low-level students is under the eyes of Director Mu.
"However, we will not give up on any students in Ninety-Four Middle School, and after the research and decision of the teaching and research team, we have decided to focus on supporting those students who are in difficulty."
"Please come to the Academic Affairs Office at noon tomorrow at noon, let us teachers also learn from you, such a simple assessment, how did you get such a magical score."
As soon as Director Mu's words fell, Roger's light brain computer received a message from the Academic Affairs Office: "Roger: Please arrive at the Teaching Office before half past twelve noon tomorrow......
……
At the gate of Beiyuan No. 94 Middle School, as the bell rang for the end of class, students began to gather at the school gate in large numbers.
"Roger, let's go, let's go back together, just by the way." Wei Wenhao's voice fell, and a "Chihuahua" stopped in front of the two.
Of course, this is not a real Chihuahua, but a civilian manned drone. Drone and aircraft companies have developed a variety of models and styles to cater to the needs of users, and this Chihuahua look is the most popular among students this summer.
"You go back first, I'll have to go to the Organisers Association later, and it will take some time."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
After Wei Wenhao finished speaking, the drone door opened automatically. He stepped in, and then the drone door closed, flying away from the school. Wei Wenhao, who was in the drone, took off the light brain machine he was wearing on his head, lay down in the comfortable drone, and began to sleep.
Although it is only middle school, the heavy study and physical and mental pressure make Wei Wenhao enjoy the sleep time on this journey every time.
At this time, Roger was waiting for the bus at the bus stop sign in Ninety-Four. In Beiyuan Smart City, where intelligence and the Internet of Everything have been applied on a large scale, unmanned air and ground transportation has become the norm, and people can freely choose their own mode of transportation. People with better family backgrounds can choose drones as a daily means of transportation, and those with average family backgrounds can also choose unmanned cars at any time.
However, even the king civilization that has developed on a large scale in science and technology still has not completely approached tens of millions. After all, a 3,700 yuan children's drone or a 15 yuan air flight service is still ...... for Roger Quite expensive.
"Look, C919!" The sudden exclamation caught Roger's attention.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Roger saw an unmanned aircraft in the shape of a whale parked at the school gate.
C919, named after the first new navigation mark civil business aircraft with independent property rights in ancient Huaxia, the full name is COMAC C919, the meaning of the first "9" is eternity, and "19" represents the first medium-sized passenger aircraft in ancient Huaxia with a maximum passenger capacity of 190 seats. The business jet was commercially available in 2021.
After the earth encountered a prehistoric crisis, the Ark Project retained the technology and knowledge of human civilization, which became the scientific and technological spark for the development of the King Continent. The engine of this C919 unmanned aerial aircraft is the prototype of the CFM LEAP-1C engine upgraded from the C919 of the ancient Huaxia Kingdom. In order to commemorate and remember the civilization of the earth, this unmanned aerial aircraft continues to bear the name C919.
"This is the legendary unmanned aerial aircraft? Sure enough, there is still a difference between an empty plane and a drone, you look at this streamline, this beauty, it's just handsome, cool comparison! ”
"That's not it, the empty plane is a military model, and a C919 can cost at least tens of thousands, and money may not be able to buy it!"
"Why did C919 come to our school, I heard that C919 is the standard configuration of the strong generals, and only the strong generals are eligible for the quota of Beiyuan City."
Warlords are beings who break through the limits of human beings and surpass the warrior level, they are the defenders and heroes of a city.
Although the King Continent has highly developed technology, unlike the ancient earth humans, the residents of the King Continent do not occupy every inch of this continent, and the city is their boundary, but between the cities, there are a large number of primeval secret forests, demon realms, and trap beasts......
In the hot eyes of the teenagers, a white shadow that Roger was very familiar with walked towards C919.
Murong Wan'er!
In the past, I always had an almost evasive timidity in front of you, but now I want to give it a try: if one day, I really express my heart to you, will this day collapse!
