205 Iron Man and the Bullet Star

The place where Nesaro works is the mid-rise industrial area of Aisaline's nest.

The dense civilian replication factory cluster is busy with thousands of prosthetic workers who have been baptized by the nano-plague, and the raw materials decompressed from the quiet black realm are sent here by the transport fleet, processed into various daily necessities, and then transferred to other planets to supply the daily needs of a large number of ordinary people in the Alicia Star Sector.

As a production base for industrial products, the material conditions of the Esarine Nest are more abundant than on other planets, and the workers will have some snacks included in their free meals every day, and yogurt on Mondays.

So Nesaro got up early today because he likes to drink yogurt and all the other food served in the staff canteen he likes.

Baked potatoes sprinkled with coarse salt, fluffy and soft cornbread, thinly sliced meat tossed into a salad with various vegetables...... Delicious food always puts people in a good mood, especially for nesters like Nesaro who haven't eaten anything good.

After breakfast, Nesaro tosses the licked yogurt cap into the recycling bin and prepares to start the day.

"I'm going to check the nanodeformer's energy pipeline today. Recently, the demand for explosive particulates has increased, and it is necessary to reduce some of the synthesis indicators of natural gas......" Nesaro walked briskly with a form.

His brain is better than that of the peritarate nest dwellers, and he adapts more quickly to the memories and knowledge he has acquired, so he gets a relatively easy job.

"By the way, explosive particles are a military resource used to produce explosive weapons, and their demand suddenly increases...... Is there another war? Nesaro's heart was very worried.

He was a man who crawled out of the brink of life and death, and his struggling childhood and uprooted youth left a deep shadow on Nesarro's psyche. After the departure of the Terra Expeditionary Force, the alien invasion and the painful experience of being tortured and killed by the dark spirits made his subconscious reluctant to think about it.

Now I finally have a new life, a stable job, a clean and warm residence, delicious food to eat, clean water without peculiar smell, and free daily necessities. He didn't want to face war anymore, it was too heavy a subject.

"It's a pity that the cruel reality doesn't allow people to escape......" Nesara sighed, a little melancholy, the knowledge given by the Order of Truth gave him room to think about life's problems.

"The truth does not change by personal will, and if war really breaks out, all I can do now is work hard......"

Being careful in maintenance and inspection, trying to make the failure rate of the nanodeformer smaller, and producing more resources for the production department, this is all he can contribute to the ballist.

With some heavy thoughts, Nesaro went to the production cell where the nanodeformers were deployed.

"Who!"

As soon as he entered the door, a huge force suddenly struck, dragging Nesaro's body away violently.

In the panic, Nesaro reacted quickly, and a mechanical arm wrapped around his waist, dragging him to a hidden corner of the production unit where wires were piled up.

Nesaro tried to shout again, but another mechanical arm covered his mouth.

He had no way to resist and was dragged straight into the corner, and Nesaro was still trying to struggle, but heard a familiar voice coming from the darkness.

"Don't scream, it's my ......"

Nesara's eyes widened, and her struggle slowed down.

The mechanical arm that wrapped around his hands and feet also slowly loosened, and Nessara stood firm, his brows furrowed: "Director Gauss? It's you? ”

Under Nesara's shocked gaze, the owner of the mechanical arm slowly walked out of the corner: a rickety body, a modified body implanted with a large number of prosthetic limbs, a red robe with a gear pattern, and a technical priest from the Mechanical Order.

He was the head of the production department of Esalyn's Hive No. 13, the technical priest from Falla, Gauss.

At the same time, he is also Nesharo's top boss.

"Be quiet, come with me." Gauss waved his hand and motioned for Nesaro to follow him.

"Director, what are you looking for me?" Nesaro was a little apprehensive, how could Gauss be mysterious today.

Through a hidden gap, Gauss led Nesaro to a triangular hidden room.

This small room, made up of a patchwork between three large buildings, is less than 3 square meters in size, and is not registered, and even Nesaro, who has worked here for months, does not know that such a place exists.

"Sit." Gauss beckoned him to take a seat in a chair in the small room.

After Nesaro sat down, Gauss moved the wall to completely close the gap where they had come, and the small space was lit by only a white phosphorus bulb.

"Uh, Director, what the hell is going on?" Seeing Gauss's mysterious appearance, Nesaro was even more puzzled: "I still have work to do......"

Gauss did not answer his question immediately, but continued to use various instruments to scout the surroundings to make sure that he was not being monitored, and then turned to sit down opposite him and asked in a hoarse electronic voice, "Nesara, are you satisfied with your current life?" ”

"Uh...... Of course satisfied? Nesaro felt a little inexplicable: "I now have a suitable job, and the daily necessities I need are provided for free, but all diseases and injuries will be cured by the nanobots in my body, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with." ”

Perhaps the remnants of the aristocracy would complain that their former luxuries were not satisfied, but he was satisfied.

"Hmph, use such a comfortable life to kill people's fighting spirit...... Have you ever thought that behind the comfort, there may be a huge crisis? Gauss's righteous eyes flashed red, and his tone was serious.

"Huh? A huge crisis? Nesaro cast a skeptical look at Gauss.

Gauss snorted coldly, said short-sightedly, and continued: "Nesara, most of the inhabitants of the lower strata of the nest capital are stupid, only your head is still bright, so I will only tell you about this matter:

Since the Order of Truth took over planets such as Asalyn and Valrhona, almost everyone in the Far Eastern Star Domain has been implanted with nanobots, do you understand the hidden dangers? ”

Before Nesaro could speak, Gauss continued: "Even the high-level prosthetics provided by the Mechanical Order to dignitaries often have some backdoor procedures hidden just in case. And the planet-scale prosthetic transformation carried out by the Truth Cult involves more than 10 billion people!

…… The nanobots in your body can help you heal diseases, repair injuries, and can also easily kill you! The power of the Star Bullet has unknowingly pinched the entire Far Eastern Star Domain, and everyone's life and death are only in his thoughts. ”

Nesaro was stunned, he was not a stupid person, after listening to Gauss's words, he quickly thought of something, such as the nest.

After the Essarain's nest was brought under the jurisdiction of the Order of Truth, the huge bottom nest of the Essalien's nest was empty, and everyone in the nest disappeared mysteriously, leaving not a single living mouth.

"Are you saying that Lord Bulleter relies on the Nanoplague to control us, and if one of us goes against his will, we will be immediately killed by the nanobots in our bodies?" Nesaro asked.

Gauss nodded: "That's right, Nesara, are you really willing to have your life and death pinched by others......

"Why not?" Nesaro smiled: "I don't plan to do anything against the will of the Star Bulleter, I'm not afraid of the nano implant experience backlash." ”

"You ......," Gauss choked on his throat before he could speak.

yes, what kind of life did a nest commoner like Nesaro live before? It's too light to say that life is better than death. It was the Order of Truth that gave him a decent job and allowed the commoners of the Empire, who were once inferior to pigs and dogs, to live a human life.

What reason did he have against the bullet star who brought him this life? Even if there is really any mortal danger with the nanoimplants, and even if the Truth Cult inflicts on Aisharine a reign of terror that "perishes those who oppose me", so what?

No matter how brutal the rule is, can it be brutal over the human empire?

"Short-sighted!" Gauss's mechanical arm shook angrily, revealing an expression of hatred for iron and steel: "The fleet of the Order of Truth has liberated Aisharine from the greenskins and re-established order here, I can understand your gratitude complex for the bullet star." But have you ever wondered what kind of crisis lurks behind the seemingly beautiful life? ”

"Huh? And the crisis? Nesara frowned. He was tempted to say where there were so many crises......

"Yes, crisis." Gauss nodded: "For example, the star bulleter is just a puppet, and the one who really controls the Far Eastern Star Field is actually an iron man, an evil iron man......"
