474 The Gate of Broken Starlink, Norios!

After many days.

Through the porthole, a metallic planet is gradually approaching in the field of vision. There is no green of the forest, no dust of the earth, no blue of the sea. The ubiquitous steel replaces nature and occupies the surface of the earth.

"Destination detected buzz... About to arrive at Norios buzz... The surface temperature is suitable buzz..."

In the lobby of the spaceship, a round-headed robot made a mechanical voice. Its cylindrical body was like a can, with slender mechanical arms on each side of the body. It was almost one meter tall and only reached the thighs of ordinary humans. There was a

One wheel, that's how it moves.

Suddenly, a big hand grabbed the robot's head and lifted it up in the air. The robot seemed a little panicked, and its two mechanical arms were swinging in the air. Together with the round machine body, it looked strangely cute.

"Caught buzz..." the robot made a sound.

At this time, the man in black sitting on the sofa next to him spoke.

"Put it down. How many times have I told you, Melos, don't play with my robot!"

Melos shrugged and put down the robot. The little guy returned to the ground and hurriedly glided to the sofa on a unicycle, trying to hide himself behind Han Xiao's calf, shivering.

Han Xiao casually touched the metal head of the robot, as gently as he treated a pet.

Melos put one hand on his hips and scratched his head with the other, his tone helpless, "Is this artificial intelligence you created really capable of fighting?"

"Can't you remember his name? His name is Philip!"

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "It's only a semi-finished product."

While the spaceship was traveling, Han Xiao was not idle. He put together a lot of stronger blueprints, updated his combat machinery, and used the newly obtained [high-end virtual intelligence technology] to create Philip. This is an artificial intelligence. Compared with

In the past, the computing speed, logical structure and data capacity of smart chips and artificial intelligence have increased by unknown orders of magnitude.

There are several modes of artificial intelligence, two of which are more distinctive. One is to directly input template data, making the intelligence seem to have its own virtual personality. In fact, it still follows a fixed closed thinking framework and only simulates intelligent creatures. The advantage is that it is obedient;

The second type is one that truly has independent thinking, imagination, and can think on its own, and can only be controlled by underlying commands. Obviously the latter is more agile, and has the potential to become a virtual life or a mechanical life, but the risk is still higher.

Han Xiao only needs a good helper for the time being, so Philip is the former. The reason why it is a semi-finished product is because there are still some logical commands that have not been set up, and the virtual character still has flaws and needs more time to perfect, but there is no problem in running it.

Philip can download data through the Internet, but it will not affect the fixed virtual character, and Han Xiao casually built a robot body for it.

As for why he was named Philip, it was the name of the tortoise he raised in his previous life, to commemorate the razor that died young. For lazy people who want to keep pets but don’t like cleaning, tortoises are an excellent choice...

Maybe the owner has raised him to death, but the cat is still alive.

Glancing at the planet getting closer and closer outside the window, Han Xiao said in a deep voice: "We will be there soon. This is one of the transfer stations for entering the Broken Star Ring. There will be many guys from other star fields. I don't know how many there are.

Powerful superpowers, we keep a low profile and don't create any extraneous problems. The goal is to find the teacher of Dragon Zodiac... Emersy is rushing back from other star fields. Even if her car is very fast, it will take a lot of time. Let's go first.

Norios looks for clues."

Norios is on the edge of the broken star ring. This planet does not belong to any civilized government now. A long time ago, a super consortium took a fancy to the geographical location of this planet and paid to buy it. At that time, this planet was just

A numbered desolate and uninhabited planet with a harsh environment, the consortium transformed it into an artificial planet, using countless equipment to change the ecological environment and make it survivable, so it became a transfer station for entering the Broken Star Ring.

Since there are no planets for a long distance near Norios, and the nearest jump star gate takes at least three days to jump, many travelers will choose to settle here to replenish fuel and supplies, renovate the spacecraft, and have fun.

Therefore, the consortium made a lot of money and paid back its capital in less than fifty years.

The economic prosperity has also attracted many interstellar citizens. They sensed the opportunity to make a fortune and opened shops here. Similarly, various commercial organizations also operate here. Norios has gathered countless travelers,

It is very prosperous, has a huge population, and is a mixture of dragons and snakes. But Norios does not accommodate villains like Dragon Calm. The wanted order is in effect here, and almost no star thieves or wanderers come to this place.

However, the consortium that controls Norios prevents star thieves from eyeing this fertile land, so they deploy many frigates in outer space and set up ports outside the planet, not allowing any spacecraft to enter the planet's atmosphere.

Even the frigate itself cannot enter. This is to prevent outsiders from stealing the frigate and hiding it from the sea! Moreover, the consortium has deployed a super-large energy shield to cover the atmosphere of Norios to prevent long-range strikes from destroying the surface.

All visitors must park their spacecraft at the space port. If they drive the spacecraft forcefully into the atmosphere, the frigate will fire after warning. If travelers want to go to the surface city for entertainment consumption, they must take the 10,000-meter elevator that connects the sky and the earth.

.

This is the defensive measure of Norios, which is very strict and also makes travelers feel safe.

However, there have been star thieves who were unwilling to give up. Some tried to break in and were blown up by frigates. Some robbed on the surface and took the elevator to the port and were captured by the security forces stationed there. The most common situation occurred when the star thieves gangs

During the robbery on the surface, he was beaten to death by travelers passing by. No one knew who the travelers from other star fields were.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

When you get closer, you can see five huge steel space stations like mountains suspended in different directions of Norios. These are five outer space ports, covered with various anti-ship defense turrets, and surrounded by

There are a large number of frigates docked.

The spaceship stopped at the nearest port. Han Xiao completed the storage procedures for the spacecraft and led everyone who was curiously looking around to the elevator area. The place was overcrowded, and various species and creatures lined up here.

Aroxia raised her eyelids and said: "This place gives me a familiar feeling, as if I have been here before..."

At this time, a prompt suddenly appeared on the panel!

Han Xiao took a look and saw that the progress of the second ring of [Restart] increased by 1 point.

'It seems that Norios is one of the places where Aroshia's memory fragments are. She came here in a certain life and was hit by me by mistake.' He thought to himself.

Fording looked around and said: "Just here, I feel at least forty B-level energy fluctuations."

"No wonder we have to keep a low profile." Silvia was a little nervous, feeling like a sheep rushing into a tiger's den. Fortunately, the teacher, Uncle Melos, and Sister Aroxia were also very powerful, which made her feel a little more at ease.

In the previous life, Norios was a high-level area. Players who wanted to go to other star areas had to go through similar transfer stations, and by the time they could leave the star areas, the player's level was already high.

After queuing for a while, it was finally everyone's turn. The elevator staff who checked tickets kept collecting tickets, wearing a professional smile, and said welcome to every passenger.

When Han Xiao arrived, the ticket inspector suddenly smiled and said: "Welcome to Norios, Black Star."

"Do you know me?" Han Xiao looked down at him, slightly surprised.

"I'm just a messenger. I wish you a pleasant journey."

When entering the port, the monitor automatically detected the identity of the visitor, and the senior managers learned the identity of Han Xiao. The Black Star Mercenary Group is now quite famous in Broken Starlink, especially the background of Dragon Calm cannot be underestimated.

Look, the consortium values ​​celebrities from all walks of life, so the managers specially ordered them to be more polite to the Black Star Mercenary Group.

The elevator has a large space, and each trip carries hundreds of passengers. After waiting for a while, everyone's feet sank, and the elevator started to move. It quickly slid out of the space station along the track. The walls of the elevator were made of transparent glass windows.

, the spectacular high-altitude scenery suddenly comes into view.

I saw dozens of elevator tracks nearby connecting the port, like tall towers reaching the sky, all running. This height is above the clouds, as if the sea of ​​clouds is trampled under the feet, and the tracks extend downwards and submerge into the clouds, making it invisible.

The ground, and looking straight into the distance, the sky gradually changes from pitch black to azure blue at the same level of the field of vision, and the artificial star light source shines dazzlingly, as if you can reach out and touch it.

"It's so beautiful! Philip, take a photo." Sylvia's eyes sparkled.

Philip's mechanical eye kept flashing and took pictures continuously. It was originally an assistant. Han Xiao gave other cadres secondary authority. When he did not give orders, others could give orders to Philip.

Passing through the clouds, Han Xiao overlooked the entire city on the ground. There was a constant flow of countless transport aircraft that could only fly below two thousand meters. Buildings hundreds of meters high were like steel spears pointing to the sky. This was a building entirely made of steel.

There are no plants in the city, but it is not a dead gray. Instead, the neon colors are brilliant and extremely prosperous. Large-scale ecological equipment provides the freshest air. There are many equipment for urban management hidden under the steel ground, which are managed by the city management system.

Control.

The foundation of the city is a colonial-level machine that can be mass-produced. It is thrown on the surface of a planet and unfolds into a city like this. The Norios Consortium purchased this "fool-style automatic city expansion pack" from the Red Empire.

"You can easily transform this planet. If you have money, you can really do whatever you want!"

There are more than a dozen cities on the surface of Norios, connected to each other by electromagnetic rails and using high-speed trains. Han Xiao and others went to City No. 4.

Looking at the surface getting closer and closer, Han Xiao suddenly frowned and his heart moved slightly.

"I have an uneasy feeling, always thinking something will happen..."



The elevator reaches the surface, and people follow the flow of people out of the station. The noisy excitement rushes towards them. People are coming and going on the street, and there are many species.

Boom!

Philip was hit by a passing pedestrian and spun around several times. Seeing this, Sylvia leaned over and picked up the robot to prevent it from being kicked away.

"There are too many people here, how can we find people?" Melos pushed away an insect creature that seemed to be selling its female body and asked loudly.

Han Xiao already had a countermeasure and said: "Because Norios is a major transportation thoroughfare, many intelligence organizations have set up branches here to record the information of all travelers. I know the target's appearance. I just need to ask the intelligence organization."

Ask and you will definitely get clues.”

Melos suddenly realized, "You really know everything and are so reliable."

Everyone moved through the crowd, and about twenty minutes later, Han Xiao stopped at the door of a tall building.

"This is it. The ninety-seventh floor is the office of a formal intelligence organization." Han Xiao raised his head. The location of the formal organization is still easy to find out.

A group of people took the elevator upstairs and arrived at the ninety-seventh floor. The place was very dimly decorated, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were covered with black cloth, as if to deliberately create a mysterious atmosphere. After walking in, there was only one front desk person at the door, and beside him

It is a long and slender corridor. The space here is originally very large, but other places are covered with black walls and cannot be passed.

In order to ensure the privacy of customers, this floor is divided by walls into opaque compartments for discussing transactions in detail. The passages between these compartments are like a maze. This corridor is the only entrance and has countless branches.

Roads do not allow customers to meet each other.

"I'm here to buy information." Han Xiao expressed his intention to the front desk.

"Hold on."

The receptionist pressed the button on the table.

After waiting for a while, a human trader wearing a black formal suit came out of the corridor and said in a deep voice: "Please follow me."

Han Xiao and others followed the human traders into the corridor, turned into a branch road, and headed to a cubicle.

Just a few seconds after everyone walked into the branch, another bird trader walked out of another branch with the customer who had just purchased the information and headed for the door. He just missed Han Xiao and others.

"Thank you for your business."

At the door, the bird trader said goodbye to his customers.

This client was wearing a hood, and his whole body was covered by a black robe, covering his appearance.

He walked out without saying anything and pressed the elevator button.

The moment the elevator door opened and he lowered his head, the light briefly illuminated his face under the hood.
