Nanzhu finally got what he wanted.
And she didn't forget her good sister Mu Xiyue.
He directly pushed Mu Xiyue towards Lin Xu.
After all, if she didn't comfort her, Nan Zhu was afraid that Mu Xiyue wouldn't be able to control herself and slash her sword energy at her.
So I had to sacrifice Lin Xu.
Afterwards, Mu Xiyue, who was feeling dizzy, sat in a daze for a long time.
In the end, Nan Zhu couldn't stand it anymore.
"Isn't it just a kiss? Is that all?" Nan Zhu joked from the side.
"Ahem, I just haven't experienced it before, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it." Mu Xiyue quickly made excuses for her performance. She didn't want to lose to Nan Zhu.
"I haven't experienced it either. To put it bluntly, it's just you who are useless. This won't work. What will you do with more powerful things in the future?" Nan Zhu said teasingly, with a face full of hatred.
"More, something more powerful." Mu Xiyue no longer knew what she had imagined, and steam began to rise from her head.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Mr. Lin Xu is going back to Earth. I'll follow him. If you don't come, be careful of me stealing away." Nan Zhu said, and walked towards the center of the Skylark's cab. Lin Xu An entrance and exit to the portable space opened by Xu.
At this time, Lin Xu had returned to Earth, and Miss Qiu followed Lin Xu away. Lu Yao, on the other hand, was too embarrassed to look at Mu Xiyue's useless look and went back to the library on Earth to continue reading.
Nan Zhu was the last one to stay with Mu Xiyue, and even Nan Zhu was leaving at this time.
Mu Xiyue reacted immediately.
"No, wait for me." Then he caught up with Nan Zhu, entered the portable space together, and returned to the earth.
At this time, the Skylark was under the control of Zhenxing, flying alone in space at a thousand times the speed of light.
After flying for about half a day, it was completely out of the scope of the original galaxy, and then it stopped and began to prepare for a space jump.
A large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates and nanorobots appeared from Lin Xu's personal space and were distributed around the Skylark on guard.
The Skylark itself stopped in place, and the space jump engine started. Relying on the endless vacuum zero-point energy as energy, a thin light curtain was formed in front of the Skylark, which was the jump channel for the space jump. .
It’s just that this jump channel cannot be used yet.
If you just want to jump to a location a few tenths of a light-year away, or one light-year away, this jump channel can already be used.
But if the distance is a hundred light years, you need to continue to fold space in the jump channel.
The Skylark continuously extracts vacuum zero-point energy to maintain the rapid progress of space folding in the transition channel.
Just like that, three full days later.
everything's ready.
Lin Xu finally returned to the cab of the Skylark with a sigh of relief.
Lu Yao, who was also curious about space jumps, had already arrived at the Skylark's cab from the library and was calculating something with paper and pen in front of the Skylark's completely formed jump channel.
It was a little strange to see Lin Xu gasping for air.
"What's wrong with you? You didn't rest, okay? No, even if you haven't slept for three days, you won't be tired." Lu Yao said confused.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, didn't want to answer at all, and just glanced helplessly at Nan Zhu next to him.
Only then did Lu Yao react. Looking at the tired Lin Xu and the refreshed Nan Zhu, she instantly understood something.
"Is this a success?" Lu Yao obviously said to Nan Zhu.
"Thank you very much Anna. If she hadn't given me a suitable excuse, I would have thought it would take a long time." Nanzhu's entire fox was radiant, and even her golden hair seemed to be shining.
"You've been captured now? You've given up completely." Lu Yao looked at Lin Xu amusedly.
"The past must pass after all, and people always have to look forward!" Lin Xu was very calm, and it was obvious that he really didn't care.
"Okay, if you ask me, you should have been like this a long time ago." Lu Yao was also happy for Lin Xu.
And until then, Lu Yao also saw Mu Xiyue who was following Lin Xu, dilly-dallying for a long time before walking out.
After looking at Mu Xiyue's look, Lu Yao understood again.
But think about it, if it was just Nan Zhu himself, Mu Xiyue would probably be chasing Nan Zhu all over the earth now.
Moreover, it was impossible for her to succeed, and she would definitely get involved, so Nan Zhu must have roped Mu Xiyue into the charge together.
Nan Zhu can definitely do this kind of thing, and Mu Xiyue probably only half-heartedly accepts it.
"Oh, come out quickly. What's there to be shy about? Lu Yao is not stupid. He must have noticed." Nan Zhu looked at Mu Xiyue who was shrinking behind, with a look of hatred on his face, and pushed her directly. out.
So, Mu Xiyue, who had to face Lu Yao, instantly turned red again.
Although in the past three days, under Nan Zhu's bewitchment, she had done many things that she never dared to think of, she still couldn't stand it when faced with Lu Yao, who had been answering questions in the library and learned about it for the first time.
As for Miss Qiu today, although her face was still expressionless, Lu Yao could still feel that she must be in a good mood.
After all, Lin Xu finally let go of his last relationship and now has more than one partner, which is great for his physical and mental health.
As a companion android who always pays attention to Lin Xu's physical and mental health problems, how could Miss Qiu not be happy about it?
"Okay, it's time to set off. Zhenxing, please report the situation of the jump channel." Lin Xu clapped his hands, awakening everyone, and signaled his beloved son and daughter to take a rest first, and it's time to get down to business.
So everyone gathered their thoughts and listened to Zhenxing's report.
"Master, the space folding has reached its limit. The jump channel can be used. Do you want to enter the jump channel?"
Lin Xu was already in his seat, and everyone else was also in their seats, even buckling their seat belts.
After all, this is the first space jump, so everyone still attaches great importance to it.
"Let's go." Seeing everyone getting ready, Lin Xu ordered.
So the next moment, space fluctuations appeared around the Skylark, the portable space opened, and a large number of self-disciplined mechanical aggregates that were on guard all around returned to the portable space.
The moment the portable space closed, the Skylark had already rushed into the jump channel.
The moment the Skylark entered the jump channel, with the loss of the Skylark's continuous energy supply, the jump channel also collapsed and disappeared in an instant.
However, the Skylark has already passed through the jump channel and reached the other side of the channel, which is a hundred light years away.
At the speed of the Skylark's curvature engine, which is a thousand times the speed of light, it would normally take more than a month to reach a distance of a hundred light years, but now it only takes three days to reach a distance of a hundred light years. It can be said that the moving speed has increased by ten. More than times.
Just the way of moving has changed.
And now it can only move a hundred light years, but it will definitely move further in the future, and its prospects will be greater than that of the curvature engine.
Standing in front of the porthole, Lin Xu felt a little emotional when he looked at the universe that was almost the same as before, but was actually a hundred light years away.
"Master, do you want to continue preparations for the jump?" Zhenxing asked.
"Go on, you don't need to ask me anymore, you will notify me when you get to the capital star of the Mechanical Empire." Lin Xu nodded.
As a result, the space fluctuations around the Skylark reappeared, and a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates appeared to alert the surrounding area.
The Skylark started its space jump engine again and began to prepare for the jump channel.
A thin light curtain once again appeared in front of the Skylark, and the space folding progressed rapidly. It still took three days to complete the space folding of a hundred light years.
But Lin Xu did not wait any longer and returned to the earth.
Lu Yao was left alone, still calculating something with a pen and paper. After about a day, he calculated a certain result and returned to Earth excitedly.
Therefore, in the lonely universe, the Skylark kept repeating the space jump, and then prepared to jump and continue the jump action.
It wasn't until three months later that the Skylark had crossed a distance of 3,000 light-years and reached the border of the Mechanical Empire, and Lin Xu came out to take a look.
Then the Skylark continued to make space jumps.
Three months later, the Skylark once again crossed a distance of three thousand light years.
A total of six thousand light-years away, they finally arrived near the capital star of the Mechanical Empire.
At this time, the time had already entered 11409, the sailing calendar. Lin Xu stood in front of the porthole of the Skylark and could already see the majestic capital star of the Mechanical Empire from a distance.
"This can't be considered a planet anymore, can it?" Nan Zhu, who was lying on the porthole, blinked his big eyes and looked at the capital star of the Mechanical Empire in the distance with curiosity.
"It's more like a brain than a planet. What did they think of this shape?" Lu Yao looked at the messy planet that had been transformed. The raised wrinkles on the surface of the planet looked exactly like a brain. Same.
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for them to live by themselves?
"Didn't you say that the flesh and blood are weak and the machine ascends? Why does it still look like a brain? It is more in line with their aesthetics to make it look like a chip." Lin Xu was also very curious.
"Who knows, what should we do now? Call them directly?" Nan Zhu asked.
"Hit it up. I'm not sure where the thing is. If I hit it directly, it's easy to alert the enemy. It's better to collect some information first." Lin Xu thought for a while and decided.
"Shall we enter the port directly? But now that the Skylark is a wanted target, can we still sneak in?" Lu Yao looked at the quantum communication device that was always running next to her.
That quantum communication device had already heard many wanted notices issued by the Galaxy Alliance and the Mechanical Empire along the way. Among them, the Skylark was clearly at the top of the list.
In this case, if you want to pass the level in a cute way, even if you rely on nanorobots to modify the clearance record, it is impossible.
So after a while, Lin Xu, Miss Qiu, Nan Zhu, Mu Xiyue and Lu Yao left the Skylark directly.
Lin Xu then put the Skylark into his personal space, and the five of them crossed the void of the universe, quietly arrived at a transport ship not far away, and sneaked into the transport ship.
Soon, the transport ship arrived at the capital star of the mechanical empire, which was shaped like a brain, and landed on the port.
Lin Xu and the other two took advantage of the gap between inspections to quietly leave the port and sneak into the capital star.
It was not until they arrived on the ground of the Capital Star that they finally understood what the bulges in space that looked like layers of wrinkles on the brain were.
It turned out to be an endless row of shed roofs that covered the sky.
The climate of the capital city of the Mechanical Empire is no longer suitable for ordinary intelligent life to survive.
Acid rain falls in the sky from time to time. Only by relying on this continuous roof to cover the sky can we stop the acid rain from falling on us.
If the intelligent life living on the capital star wants to adapt to the climate here and survive normally, it must undergo the transformation of its respiratory organs.
This is minimal remodeling.
Otherwise, there is no way to survive here.
Intelligent life does not need to transform nature, but must adapt to all environments. This is the creed of the Machine Empire.
Walking in the alleys under the roofs full of garbage, Lin Xu felt a heartfelt disgust for the environment here.
Sewage flows across the ground and there are only minimal drainage facilities.
The tall buildings are filled with all kinds of pipes and alleys, the sky is always foggy, and the air is always filled with the smell of rust and pollutants.
Amidst the flashing neon lights, various intelligent creatures with modified bodies are walking through it.
Behind the shining red-lit shop windows on the street, there are all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women, all selling themselves.
The difference is that those who have modified their bodies are the customers, and those who have not modified their bodies want to make money by selling themselves and modify their bodies for themselves.
Here, everyone is pursuing transformation.
Mechanical modifications.
Because only mechanical transformation is the only upward path here.
"Sir, Madam, okay, please give me some." The man lying in the sewage on the street was obviously young, but he was panting like a dying old man.
Lin Xu only glanced at it and knew that it was because he had lived in a polluted environment for a long time and his respiratory organs had already failed.
There are countless situations like this on the entire planet.
Either make enough money to transform yourself, or die early and have your parts removed and still be used.
The Mechanical Emperor does not raise idlers.
That's right, it's the Mechanical Emperor, the ruler here, the supreme master of the Mechanical Empire, the being that everyone calls the Emperor.
He is supreme and rules over everything.
He is in charge of the mechanical heaven. Only his loyal followers can ascend to the sky and enjoy eternal life.
All people believe in him and regard him as a god.
He is harsh, but He is also loving.
Even believers who have not yet consciously ascended to the Mechanical Heaven are allowed to enjoy all the beauties in the Mechanical Heaven.
But that's only temporary.
Without the ability to upload consciousness, everything is just a dream.
A man begging on the street finally got some credits from passers-by.
So he immediately happily spent the credits on the external chip on the cerebral cortex.
That was the part that he still couldn't bear to sell after selling everything of value.
Soon, his consciousness connected to the Kingdom of Heaven, and a brief expression of happiness appeared on his face.
But as that little credit point was exhausted, he was kicked out of the Kingdom of Heaven again.
By spending credits, he could briefly log into the Kingdom of Heaven, but it was only short-lived, just like a dream.
"Isn't this the Internet of Consciousness?" Nan Zhu frowned as he observed everything around him.
"Yes, but there is no way to upload consciousness to the Internet of Consciousness. Consciousness still resides in the body." Lin Xu nodded.
"But his consciousness is also in his own body." Nan Zhu glanced at the begging man on the roadside again.
"But someone can upload their consciousness, which gives everyone hope, and this hope is enough for everyone to pursue." Lin Xu sighed and said.
"There is also such a consciousness Internet on the fairy ship. There are all kinds of delicious and fun things on it. You can even taste the delicious food through electrical signals. I also had this idea when I was a child. If I could live in the consciousness Internet forever That would be great." Mu Xiyue also sighed with emotion
"Yes, you can do whatever you want, and you can even create everything you like out of thin air. In the Internet of Consciousness, you really feel that you can do anything. If you have the chance, you can live in it forever without returning to reality. It is indeed a temptation that can drive countless ordinary people crazy." Nan Zhu also figured it out, because she also experienced such a period when she was a child.
And even human dependents like Mu Xiyue and Nanzhu, who are born with powerful power, still have this idea. It is natural that these ordinary intelligent beings living in suffering will yearn for the mechanical heaven even more. Bar.
"The Internet of Consciousness, is it really that interesting?" Lu Yao on the other side seemed a little incomprehensible.
After all, the Xianyuan planet she comes from is a backward area and has not even developed the Internet, let alone the awareness of the Internet.
The same goes for Lin Xu. The 21st century he originally lived in had at most only the Internet, and he realized that the Internet was completely a fantasy.
Even with the technology now available, Lin Xu never thought of building a local area network for himself.
After all, he is almost omnipotent in reality, so why bother looking for a sense of existence in the virtual world.
So Lin Xu is actually a little curious about the Internet of Consciousness.
"Is there a way for us to enter the consciousness network of the Mechanical Heaven?" Lin Xu thought for a while and said.
"It should be technically feasible. This thing is actually not difficult. It's just that the Internet in each place has its own frequency band interface. It's best to find a local network access point." Nan Zhu thought for a while and said.
"There should be a black market in a place like this." Lin Xu looked at this capital city full of cyberpunk style, not believing that it would be so peaceful.
"There should be. If not, why don't you just ask these friends?" Nan Zhu gestured around.
Lin Xu naturally noticed that at some point, there were already several transformed people blocking the five people's front, rear, left, and right directions.
"That's right. Judging from their appearance, it's clear at first glance." Lin Xu said with a smile.
The few people who stopped Lin Xu and his party were looking at Lin Xu and others with the eyes of fat sheep.
"It looks like it's a pure organic organism that hasn't been modified much. It's not bad. If the parts are removed, it should be sold for a good price."
"If you sell them in pieces, you have to package them up and sell them whole. There are those who like pure organic organisms, especially those who like to hear the screams of female organisms, and they pay the highest price."
"It looks like we can make a lot of money today."
Several people were discussing happily, as if Lin Xu and the others were already in the bag.
After all, how could several organic creatures that had not been modified at all be the opponents of their modified steel bodies?
They didn't even care about the resistance of Lin Xu and others.
Anyway, even if you have weapons on you, how fierce can the resistance be?
"Master Lin Xu, can I kill them!" However, the look in their eyes made Mu Xiyue very unhappy.
"First ask us what we want to ask, and then you can do whatever you want." Lin Xu had no intention of interceding on behalf of these scumbags.
So Mu Xiyue shot out a sword energy, and just now she was happily discussing how to sell Lin Xu and the others as reformers.
All the modified parts of the body were instantly separated from the body and turned into broken parts.
Only half of the body that has not yet been transformed is left, lying on the ground unable to move.
Some even had their internal organs remodeled, and because the parts of the internal organs were removed, their life immediately entered a countdown.
In the subsequent torture session, there was even less to say.
Mu Xiyue quickly asked about the location of her black market, and then threw a few guys who wanted to rob but lost their lives in the alley.
Even corpses don't need to be disposed of, because corpses of all kinds can be seen everywhere in the alleys here.
Mixed with sewage, it forms a unique landscape.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Xu has an extremely bad impression of this place.
Then several people followed the address they asked and quickly found a black market.
The entire black market is filled with all kinds of creatures that hide their appearance.
They come from all planets, but most are native.
Some contraband is traded privately here.
But more often than not, items related to body modification are traded.
As soon as Lin Xu walked by, he saw more than one place where people were selling arms, thighs, eyes, and even internal organs.
Of course, they are all mechanical products.
After all, flesh and blood products are worthless here.
For example, the people who robbed Lin Xu before also wanted to sell Lin Xu and others to some special place.
After all, in any environment, there are always some people with special tastes.
And even in this world that advocates mechanical transformation, there are always many people who can't forget the original flesh and blood.
Soon, Lin Xu and the others found what they needed.
An interface that can connect to the consciousness network.
That's a chip.
It can be installed directly on the brain or on a mechanical external interface.
Lin Xu didn't need much, it was enough to buy one as a sample.
