The soft sound of mechanical closure made the old pirate Yongdu, who was lying on the bed of the ring test bench, open his eyes.He wasn't used to the overly comfortable design of biomimetic objects from earthlings, and more importantly, as an interstellar pirate who licked blood, he wasn't used to the fragility of general anesthesia.Without the ability to fight back, any child can give him a knife and end his life full of suffering and sin.With the help of his pirate cronies, he sat up from the bench and looked at his left leg.The flesh that was missing from the previous Martian fall is no longer recoverable.But now, Yongdu looked at his attached mechanical prosthetic, and he caressed the biomimetic skin tissue, feeling like flesh and blood.The next moment, Yongdu rudely pushed away his cronies, jumped off the bed on the test table, and then walked a few steps on his prosthetic left leg.The first step was a little faltering.After all, it was a prosthetic leg made with a completely different idea from the technology I had been exposed to before.But the second step is much smoother.The left leg touches the ground as if it were substance, and the intelligent prosthetic leg comes with a full set of technology that can adjust the prosthesis to the level that best suits each person's movements.Yongdu was quite satisfied with this.He reached out and patted the mechanical prosthetic leg, and then gave a thumbs up to the young lady who was a doctor next to him.These intelligent machines on the earth really have tricks, look at their ingenuity, these guys' service is too thoughtful, not only sent the most suitable prosthetics, but also intimately prepared special bionic materials for Yongdu.The skin was the same as his original blue skin in color and touch."
But if that's it—" Yongdu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, if it was just like this, a perfect prosthetic for an ordinary person would not meet the requirements of an interstellar pirate.He jerked out his left leg, and with the sound of the mechanical click, the prosthetic leg spread out to the left and right of the weapon, and in the blink of an eye, six ray guns and grenade launchers appeared on Yongdu's leg.The exposed weapons give the leg a sense of violence."
Hahaha!
That's what I need!
”Yongdu retracted his left leg with satisfaction, he patted the skin of his leg, and said, "It's worth the money!"
”As he spoke, the rude old pirate took a cup of coffee from his hand, and he gave a thumbs up to the smiling little sister of the Robot Doctor, and said, "Give these guys a makeover." ”He was talking about a few of his absolute cronies.As an interstellar pirate, how can you not be injured, these cronies have either lost their eyes, lost their fingers, or have a dark disease in their body.Now that he has come to Earth and experienced this awesome transformation technology firsthand, how could Yongdu miss this opportunity?
He is indeed stingy, but when it comes to his own people, Yongdu is very generous.This is also a kind of personality charm.Because they were on Earth, the Yongdu group did not wear the outfits of the wild and brutal marauder pirates, they wore the same leather jacket as Quill's, lined with suit shirts, and the alien disguise provided by the M.I.B.It looks no different from the earthlings, but these guys are used to being free and loose, and suddenly come to the seemingly peaceful earth, and in the face of the ubiquitous order, these guys seem very uncomfortable.There's a sense of restraint.It is very difficult for man, or whatever form of life it is, to get used to the freedom of chaos and then to adapt to the limited freedom of order.Seriously, Yongdu himself is a little unaccustomed.If it weren't for the replacement of his prosthetic leg that required him to come to Earth, he would never have come to this place again."
What a place..."
As his subordinates were being transformed one by one, Yongdu stood in a living room next to the laboratory.He removed the alien disguise, and in his original posture, crossed his waist, in this more than 30-story height, looking at New York City at night.There was a hint of disgust for order in his red eyes, but there was also a hint of yearning for a stable life.He looked at the city in front of him, the feeling of bright lights did not surprise Yongdu too much, there are too many civilizations in the stars, and the earth is only the one that is not amazing.He was not impressed by the magnificence or beauty of the city.He sighed at something deeper.In his eyes, the layered buildings are like layers of frameworks, binding the world and building invisible walls for the life of this world.Freedom was blocked, but freedom was also truly preserved."
It looks like there's everything, but there's nothing," said the old pirate, like a philosopher at this moment, with disdain, "a good place, but not for a man like me." ”"It's not the same place as it was when you came to arrest me more than 20 years ago, right?"
Quierna's trademark relaxed voice rang out behind Yongdu, who seemed defenseless, but his left hand crossed his waist had already lifted his leather coat.In the leather bag of flying arrows hanging from his waist, the golden, extremely penetrating blow arrow had already lit up with a faint light.This means that as long as Yongdu blows the whistle, this arrow can kill every life in this 60-storey building in 15 seconds.And Yongdu is absolutely confident that no one can stop the shooting of this sharp arrow.Living in a chaotic world since childhood, if he didn't have a few brushes in his hands, Yongdu would have been killed by the malice that comes from everywhere in life..."
It's different."
The old pirate replied to Quill's words, and he turned to look at Peter.
Quill.Looking at this young man who has a complicated relationship with him."
I only came here for a quick glance, and I didn't even stay in this world for more than an hour, and I confess, I looked away at the time, and thought that this world was like this, as ordinary as all other worlds...", the old pirate shrugged, and he said, "But it is different, I underestimated your hometown, Quill, and this time, I did not complain. ”His gaze turned away from the smiling Quill and landed on the guy beside Quiel.It was a man.A quirky, serious man with a smiling face.Dressed in a sassy white suit, pure white, with no bow tie or tie, even the shoes are white.This guy was holding a heavy, metal-made book in his hand, and his gray eyes were staring at Yongdu like that, his eyes were indifferent, without the slightest warmth or emotion.This is normal.Because this man is a robot, or rather, a smart machine.A dangerous intelligent machine."
Won't you introduce me?"
Yongdu picked his chin at Quill, he sat on the soft and comfortable sofa by himself, he moved his waist a little uncomfortably, put on a big sitting position, and said to Quill, "Who is this new friend?"
”"Didn't you say you wanted to create a new pirate group?"
Quill leaned back against the bar in the living room and pulled a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.The building is home to the Mechanica's medical and rehabilitation labs, and is occasionally used as a private hospital, so there's no shortage of amenities.Quill opened the lid of the bottle and poured himself a drink, and said to Yongdu, "I went to my friends and asked, they all have serious jobs, and they are not interested in going to the stars to fight as pirates, but not all of them are not interested, and Father Adam has shown a strong intention to cooperate with your solicitation. ”Quill took a sip of wine, and he said to Yongdu, "This time your action to replace your prosthetic leg was also specially arranged by him. ”"Are you still satisfied with our products?
Your Excellency Yongdu. ”After Quiel's introduction, Father Adam, who was sitting on the sofa opposite Yongdu in a solemn position, asked: "If you have any complaints, you can bring them up, we have some new products that are only shown to friends." ”The Wisdom Priest's tone was calm.There was not the slightest fluctuation of emotion, no matter what was said, it seemed to be describing the facts, but Yongdu could feel a very uncomfortable feeling from that flat tone.He is well-informed, and when he was young, he followed his team to travel north and south, and saw many civilizations in the galaxy.He knew where that discomfort was coming from.This smart machine in front of you...
He is a dangerous and sane fanatic.It is the most difficult and terrible kind of follower of all faiths.But the belief of robots, to be honest, is the first time Yongdu has seen it in many civilizations.When communicating with this kind of person, you must pay attention to the tone and not talk casually, especially now that you are still on other people's territory, and several of your cronies are still undergoing mechanical transformation.Yongdu regretted this moment a little.He glared at Quill with a slight apprehension, who was sipping a high-end drink and didn't have time to pay attention to Yongdu's eyes."
Huh," the old pirate smiled.He adjusted his facial expression, and he said to Father Adam in front of him: "Very good prosthetics, my subordinates and I love them, but new products, forget it, those of us who walk on the tip of the knife prefer the finished products that have been tested by data." ”"We don't pursue novelty, we only pursue practicality and reliability.""
Well, a great idea, a very good habit."
Adam the Mechanical Sage nodded with satisfaction, he looked at Yongdu, and he said directly, "Then it seems that our cooperation will be very smooth." ”"Cooperation?"
Yongdu savored the word, and after a few seconds, he spoke, "Before we get into the specifics, I want to ask, what kind of cooperation is this?"
Maybe Quill didn't make my request clear, you see, Your Excellency, I'm a pirate, and we're rude, savage, but we have to be careful. ”"Especially in the face of unknown kindness..."
Yongdu pursed his lips, and the old pirate said with emotion: "I suffered a great loss because of this.Of course, if my question offends your faith, then let it be if I didn't. ”"It doesn't matter."
Adam wasn't angry.He looked at Yongdu, and he explained very bluntly: "You need the crew to rebuild your Marauder Pirate Regiment, you also need a mothership, shuttles, munitions, weapons, supplies...""
We can provide you with all of this, including the mothership, of course, we may need you to provide some drawings, and all of these, these you need, we can prepare them within 1 month."
Adam lowered his head and flipped through the steel scroll in his hand, and he said slowly: "Even for the first cooperation, we can not charge money, it is an attempt by the Mechanicus Cult, and it can also let you see the sincerity of our believers in the God of All Machines." ”"Speaking of which, Your Excellency Yongdu is also a wonderful person."
The priest smiled suddenly, and he looked up at the red fin-like object on Yongdu's forehead that resembled a mohican's hairstyle, but was actually a mechanical device embedded in his forehead.He said in an appreciative tone: "Earthlings are too conservative, at least I have never seen a person in this world who dares to combine his brain with such a 'chic' weapon manipulator." ”"It's a bold idea, although it seems to me to be a little rude on a technical level, and there's a lot of room for improvement.This means that Lord Yongdu may not mind replacing his flesh and blood with more powerful machines whenever the need arises. ”"After all...
Flesh and blood are weak. ”The priest read a verse, and he looked at Yongdu, and then at the red mechanical blowgun hanging from Yongdu's belt, and he said: "Madame must be very happy to see such a unique weapon, which represents a field that we have not explored, and a different kind of mechanical knowledge, will you share this knowledge with us?"
”"In return, the Cult of the Mechanics will give a wonderful person like you the most perfect mechanical transformation...""
Abandon flesh and blood completely, and join the more sacred ascension without fear of death."
Yongdu, who had been pondering and did not answer, reached out and touched his forehead, and he looked suspiciously at the enthusiastic priest in front of him.He asked, "You mean, you can strengthen the power of this blowing arrow?"
”"I'm not afraid to tell you that this thing comes from beyond the Milky Way, from my home planet, and it's a...
Well, it's not an honor, in my civilization, only the weak who can't draw the bow will use this sneaky weapon. ”"Whether it can be strengthened or not, you have to study it before you can reach a conclusion."
Adam said, "The Mechanicus never believes in words, we believe in the power of data. ”"Hmm," the old pirate looked at Adam, and after a moment he asked again, "Your offer is so generous that I dare not accept it...
A respected friend of mine told me that if the other person is saying good things, then I have to think about the gains and losses. ”"My last question, Father Adam."
Yongdu leaned forward, he looked at Adam intently, and said, "What do you want from me for such a generous effort to help me rebuild the Marauder Pirate Band?"
”"Faith."
Adam was also very calm.He looked Yongdu in the eye and said, "We are bound by the divine, and loyal followers of the Cult of the Mechanicus cannot leave our holy land...
But how can the belief in the God of All Machines be confined to one world?
”"We don't need anything in return from you, Yongdu.
Udon Tower!
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
There's only one thing we ask you for!
Wherever your pirate group goes, you must leave behind the faith of the God of All Machines. ”"When the cogs roar through the stars, you have fulfilled your promise.""
This..."
Yongdu was really a little uncomfortable by the thoughts of this group of fanatics, and he simply said very frankly: "Your Excellency Father, we are marauder pirates, and our style is not as good as you think...'
Justice'.I mean, everywhere we go, we attract war and plunder, and that's not a good means of proselytizing, you know what I mean?
”"It doesn't matter."
Adam waved his hand, and he said in the same tone, "Form doesn't matter. ”"Praise and sincerity are good things, but we don't ignore that in disasters, there is also strength
