Located outside of Earth's atmosphere, it is connected to the Sky Umbrella on the concept layer, on the Dragon Island Aura in a semi-void environment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The present of mankind is built on sacrifice - is the Monument to the Martyrs of the Battle of the Dawn?" Looking up at the tall white marble stele in front of him, wearing a standard military uniform marked as a federal colonel, but the style of the military uniform was different from all the military uniforms a year ago, a Lori with bright golden short hair, sighed helplessly and said, "Although it has taken a year to fully adapt to the current body, I still can't adapt to this martyr's monument." ”

That's right, more than a year has passed since the decisive battle at dawn and President Bryan announcing the end of the old calendar and the beginning of the new calendar. During this time, a lot of things have happened, but there have been no significant enough events. Overall, it went pretty well.

Speaking of the changes over the past year...... One of the more intuitive things now is that the area of Dragon Island Aura has increased a lot, and it has also gained a lot of popularity.

Of course, the land area of Dragon Island is not purchased with points through the system. After all, in the previous decisive battle, Xue Feng and the others could almost be said to have given everything they had. Before the outbreak of a war of sufficient intensity, although they now had a fairly stable income with the "guests" who visited almost every hour, judging from the doubling points required to double the area of Dragon Island, at this point, Xue Feng and the others would need to save at least ten years before they could afford it.

Well, Dragon Island at this time is bigger than a small town!

The most critical reason for being able to expand to such a large size is that when Xue Feng and the others originally planned to connect a huge iron frame outside Dragon Island to carry the shuttles that occasionally came to Dragon Island, such as Runi and Longsheng, they found that they could artificially increase the area of Dragon Island, and only need to spend less than one-third of each cubic meter of points to turn it into Dragon Island itself.

After asking the host and Chrissy, Xuefeng and the others understood why it would be so expensive to buy land through the system: the first point is that if you buy it directly through the system, the area will simply double every time, and there is no cubic meter calculation unit at all. Then there are these points, two-thirds of which are used to transform the soil from the void, and the remaining one-third is through the assimilation of the law, and the extra soil is truly turned into a part of the Dragon Island.

And the law actually has the ability to erode or assimilate, so even if Xue Feng and the others just fix the soil on Dragon Island and do nothing, just wait for the passage of time, these dirt can also become a part of Dragon Island even on a conceptual level.

This is the reason why Yukikaze and others were able to expand Dragon Island Aura hundreds of times in one year, from a villa with a garden to a small town.

Originally, it was just to use Dragon Island as the nominal headquarters of the GM Research Institute on the ground (the real ontology had long since moved to the core of the native species), and finally became the headquarters in the substantive sense.

Even in the end, for political, symbolic and other considerations, the capital of the Earth Federation Government was officially relocated to Dragon Island.

Of course, due to the size of the land (the town level is not enough at all!) The real headquarters of the vast majority of the federal government's offices are still in Geneva, the planet (reconstruction has been completed). However, looking at the time and plan, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time before the real headquarters of all the offices are moved to Dragon Island, and then the headquarters on Earth will not be abandoned, but will become the headquarters for managing the affairs of the Earth.

That's right, even now, the territory under the control of the Earth Federation is not only the earth.

As for the fact that because of its small size, even the presidential palace is completely less atmospheric than that on Earth...... The environment in which Ryushima Aura is located alone has blown up all the buildings!

In addition to the office of the Earth Federation and the headquarters of the GM Research Institute, Mao's Heavy Industries and other super-giant groups (naturally following the same path as Yukikaze and others) have also built their own headquarters on Ryushima Ora.

At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ryushima Aura is an inch of land.

But even so, on Dragon Island, there is still a huge area built, and it is there that the monuments of all the martyrs from the beginning of the DC War to the decisive battle at dawn are placed. Even so, there are still plenty of gaps in the site named Valhalla.

Obviously, this is reserved for the martyrs who will die in the wars of the future.

And just when the uniformed Lori under the Dawn Battle Monument sighed like this, a blonde Lori with heterochromic pupils next to her said to the carriage-type service robot passing by: "Two servings of black tea, thank you." ”

With the technical strength of the Earth Federation, how difficult is it to develop a service robot that will travel along a fixed route and have multi-functional purposes such as sales, navigation, and cleaning? Of course, although they are unlikely to be used, these robots are also part of the city's defense, and they can be switched between battlefield transportation, fire support, defensive shields, temporary first aid, and other uses as long as the carriage behind the robot is changed.

Of course, this robot has only completed the popularization of a few places such as Dragon Island and Geneva, as well as the lunar base.

After hearing Lori's words, the carriage-type robot stopped for a while, and a window opened in the carriage facing Lori, and the two paper cups were brought under a tube labeled black tea through transportation. Then, two cups of fragrant black tea, which were still hot, appeared in front of Lori, a heterochromic pupil.

Although it seems to be free, as a legion belonging to the Hades that takes the principle of equivalent exchange as the highest principle, how could Xuefeng and the others really provide free services? Even if it's just a dollar, it's still a price to pay!

Next to the window opened by the carriage-type robot is an instrument that can be swiped with an identity sheet (a personal identification fixed on the wrist that has been vigorously promoted and popularized within a year, and also has functions such as bank cards and watches, and the color style can be freely selected, and even the official custom shape) Instrument, if the person who needs help does not swipe the watch, the robot will not provide any service, and if ten minutes later, or detect the person shouting and walk away, it will be recorded in the official personal credit.

However, in the event of a sudden fainting of a person in need of help, this wagon-type robot, which has the ability to scan the surroundings and act as a mobile police agency, automatically notifies the nearest medical station and provides first aid on the spot.

Even in this case, those who request emergency treatment can pay the relevant fees after the treatment is completed.

And this heterochromic Lori, who can get black tea for free as it does now, is because after she said the black tea, she directly completed the online payment through the electronic instrument in her body.

That's right, this heterochromatic pupil Lori and the blonde short-haired Lori next to her are both proto-species Lori. In order to maximize the potential of UP-NS cells and further strengthen their own abilities, these Lori, who had sacrificed on the battlefield and then undoubtedly stepped on the battlefield again, have all implanted various electronic devices powered by bioelectricity into their bodies over the past year.

And the characteristics of UP-NS cells, which can even evolve into semi-metal cells, also make these instruments completely become a part of the loli's body after a short adaptation period. The next thing is that the Loli people use exercise to improve the efficiency of these instruments.

But in any case, online payment can be easily mastered by novices who have just implanted the instrument. If you can't even do that...... Is this man really a member of today's modern military?

"Here, your tea, Captain." Holding two cups of black tea with heterochromatic pupils Lori, she turned around and handed a cup of black tea to Lori with short blond hair, and said with a gentle smile: "And captain, this is not a martyr's monument, but a meritorious monument." ”

"Is there a difference?" After snorting, the short-haired blond Lori, known as the captain, took the black tea from Lori, who seemed to be his deputy, "Thank you." ”

"Do you really want to make this Monument of Merit a Martyr?" Heterochromatic Hitomi Lori said with a hint of fear or rejoicing, "Even if we are no longer human now, standing in front of this monument with another identity and body." But it was enough to be able to survive the great battle that was still so terrible that it had no chance of winning. Isn't it, my textbook Captain Rodney? ”

That's right, now, a year later, the original Lori has officially announced her existence to the entire human world. In addition, Xuefeng et al. made public all the research results (on the surface), including UP-NS cells.

The most important thing is that it was announced that the original Lori no longer belongs to the human species, but has become a new species between the native species and humans, and the official name is: Stygian.

The reason for this name, in addition to the relationship between the underworld, is that the most important point is that all human beings who can be qualified to be injected with UP-NS cells will only be injected after death. Therefore, the name of the underworld refers to Lori who has returned from the netherworld.

It should be noted that in order to prevent the near-immortal new species of Stylus from interfering with the entire human society, which will lead to a great war and chaos among the entire human race. With the GM Research Institute as the core, Xuefeng and others have established a new, almost independent society for the Styx, and strictly control the communication between the two. Any act that goes beyond the limits is prohibited by the level of criminal law.

Of course, in this kind of strict control, there will be no lack of humane treatment, such as lovers.

And because of its own no lifespan limit and super regeneration ability, the offspring of the Stygian Radix are also strictly managed, and no offspring between the Stygians or humans is allowed. Even though this is an inevitable trend in the future, this kind of behavior that can cause various problems is still prohibited at the very moment.

And for the qualification of Stylus, that is, the qualification to get UP-NS cell injection, it is completely with an attitude of digging into the ground, even if this qualification is actually not difficult to obtain seriously (the easiest is to join the army), but any opportunistic behavior is to go directly to the execution ground and then speak, and it is necessary to let anyone understand what kind of price will be paid if they want to intervene.

At the same time, whether it is the loss of the courage to continue living, or the desire for strength and eternal life triumphs over reason, as long as there is any suicidal ~behavior~ behavior, it will automatically be disqualified from injection.

In order to distinguish the difference between human loli and herd, in addition to the various electronic devices implanted in the body of the herd, there will be a stick figure-like lighthouse sign on the forehead. This sign appears directly through cellular adjustment, so it can be seen as a birthmark-like existence.

Probably because these actions worked, or because they were short-lived, or because they didn't increase in numbers during the year. In short, up to now, everything is going in a normal direction (how many batches of beam-jumping clowns have Xuefeng and others cleaned up before and after?). ）。

As an independent and human society in addition to the core alien space of the native species, it is also the location of the ground headquarters of the GM Research Institute. At the same time, in addition to the core different space, the number and density of the Stygian are the largest. Therefore, in addition to these two Radix, in addition to tourists from all over the world and various top people, you can see Radix everywhere on the streets.

Well, Dragon Island Ola, in addition to the capital of the Earth Federation, also has the nickname of Lolicon Holy Land among the people. (Ordinary humans simply cannot survive in the core Xenospace, and even if they are shielded, they are only supplied to scientists who are qualified to inject and must work there to prevent accidents.)

In the decisive battle of dawn, in the history of the future, Captain Rodney, whose name was deeply engraved, heard the words of his deputy, was silent for a while and turned around and said, "...... It's almost time, it's time to go. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

PS: A new volume has finally begun! From this volume, I completely put aside the past and return to the beginning! Of course, the protagonist of this volume is not Yukikaze (in fact, Yukikaze's story ended as early as the first volume of the real book, right?). ), but Hestia (original name: Yuki), who appears in Volume 6, and a new dragon.

PS2: However, please wait a little longer, I went out today as a guest + edited the video, and accidentally spent a little more time
