I have always felt that Lin Xue has an attitude towards life that is worth learning, that is, even if she has the power to predict the future, she is not willing to use it on herself easily. In her words, this is to make life more interesting.
After all, according to the prophecy mechanism, her observation of the future will lead to the historical process being predetermined in advance. Although it is not 100% fixed in the future, it will also change life from an unknown full of surprises to a boring known. As a person in human society,
As a grown up individual, the eldest lady obviously doesn't like this boring lifestyle.
But now, I think it would be great if I had this ability. At least I would be able to know how my daughter was slowly deceived by those unscrupulous relatives and became a victim of all kinds of evil.
The restaurant we stayed in is a cheap restaurant run by students. The owner of the restaurant is a very business-minded Misaka sister, and there are two goblin partners. It is a relatively famous restaurant on this street. The store is the largest.
The unique feature (and the feature that cannot be copied) is that all the waiters are mercury lamp dolls with three heads and a height of 60 cm. These big-headed dolls with small arms and legs run around on the floor passing food, collecting bills, and delivering things. It can be said that
This is a scenic spot in the student restaurant. If you eat here, you can interact with the interesting and cute three-headed dolls. However, be careful to look at your feet when walking, because it is easy to kick over a rash little guy. Here
The tables are all specially made, and there is a folding ladder next to the table. A three-headed mercury lamp with a height of only half a meter can be climbed up the ladder to clear the dishes - after all, they can't reach the table even if they jump up.
Looking at the dolls running around with trays, Xiaoxue always looked cheerful. From time to time, she would suddenly pick up a little guy who didn't have anything in his hand and give him a kiss. After a few minutes, he would
No one dared to approach this place anymore. I was a little curious: "Were these little guys still active at that time?"
"Of course, and the number has reached hundreds of thousands. In the Royal District, these little doll heads are very popular companions and staff. They are cute and clever. However, the 'princess dolls' at that time are no longer the same as these alchemists now.
It's different. When I was born, these dolls were divided into many types. Some types have their own intelligence and biological characteristics. They are actually a new type of apostle with a special appearance. They are good at combat and logistics.
There are a large group of people on each spaceship of the Royal Fleet. Some dolls are directly controlled by Sister Deng. They are equipped with super equipment by those scientists and are used to serve as imperial guards. We call them the "Princess Knights", which is enviable.
There are still a few prototypes, which are what we have now, and the Misaka sisters were still directing them behind the scenes. But the Misaka sisters were very busy at that time, and the dolls they controlled were not so fun, they had to work."
Here, Xiaoxue seemed to think of something interesting and couldn't help but grin: "Of course, the fact that when you are careless, you will get stuck in the corners, it has not changed. I heard that this problem has been there from the beginning.
.”
It seems that some things are pretty much what I expected.
I know that it has been many, many years since Xiaoxue was born. As time goes by, things and people change. Maybe many things around me will slowly disappear now, but presumably these mass-produced mercury lamps will remain, as well as those behind them.
The Misaka sisters.
This is about the current biochemical transformation actions of the new empire on its various races.
Prior to this, after obtaining Atlantis's biochemical technology information, Sandora and I had already started a genetic enhancement project for the servant soldiers. Now this project has gradually developed to the entire macro world. In a group of biological specializations
With the joint efforts of scientific research experts and Lilina, the Empire has developed standard processes for biological modification that are suitable for hundreds of life forms. These processes are so low-cost that they only require a little energy and equipment loss, and some do not even require human participation.
Automated equipment can handle everything. All Shadow City citizens, honorary citizens, contract staff and vassal races have the right to accept the transformation of the standard process - of course, this is also their obligation, and even the lives of many vassal races.
The forms are constantly being adjusted by the empire, and no one can refuse this, unless you give up any welfare benefits provided by the empire. This kind of adjustment can make members of a race stronger, smarter, and more able from a genetic level.
Adapt to extreme environments and live longer.
Each world has many imperial biochemical stations that perform the adjustment tasks. The entrance of the biochemical station will have this sentence inscribed:
Extend your life, temper your passion, and use them to serve the Emperor longer.
The original direct purpose of genetic enhancement was to add more abundant sources of excellent servants to the empire, making them stronger and able to accumulate richer war experience. The artificial gods of Atlantis were once the product of this plan reaching its peak.
: The entire race was collectively "leap-up" into a superhuman race. And now, as the new empire continues to unlock the technology tree, we have begun to try to replicate the miracle that happened to the Atlantis race.
As for the by-product of this plan, perhaps we will create countless super species that have long lifespans and can fly and emit ball lightning. Of course, it is difficult to say in the short term whether all vassal races can compete with the Atlanteans.
They can also be immortal. After all, the foundation of many creatures may not support eternal life. Some races have limited soul lifespan and no possibility of unlocking it. Some races themselves are unwilling to let their age exceed a thousand years. It is not
Everyone likes immortality. For some mortal races, death is actually a part of a complete life. In response to these situations, our solution is a typical Xiling thought plus Dingdang teaching: If you really feel that you have lived enough
, and have completed all responsibilities and obligations to this world, then you can submit a death application. This application will be verified by the priests of the Life God Religion. After verification, the applicant can be sent to the local world for free.
Temple of Life, where they return to the River of Life, and correspondingly, the death of the applicant will generate one or two new quotas for new students in the local area (extra quotas, because we actually do not need to worry about insufficient survival resources.
, this quota is only used to commemorate the deceased), and the newborns born from this quota will recognize the deceased as their godfather and godmother in accordance with the teachings of the Religion of Life, thus completing a life cycle from practical to symbolic meaning.
"dad?"
"Dad!" A sudden call made me come back to my senses from my divergent thoughts. In front of me, Xiaoxue was holding out a piece of barbecue, "Dad, you eat it, and Mom, why don't you eat it?"
I felt a little weird. While chewing the food Xiaoxue handed me, I said vaguely: "You are really familiar with me. We have only met for a few hours."
"That's what you think. I've been with you for more than ten years..." Xiaoxue said with a bulging mouth. She didn't have the reserve of a girl at all. Maybe this appearance really can't be said to be a lack of education, it can only be said that
It was because she had no need to be reserved in front of her parents - her words woke me up.
Yes, in my opinion, this strange girl named Chen Xiaoxue only met me a few hours ago. Apart from the inexplicable intimacy between me and the other person, there is basically nothing like
A stranger I just met, but what about Chen Xiaoxue?
Before she was projected here, she had been living with our family for ten or twenty years!
It can even be guessed that until not long ago, she was eating, watching TV, chatting and shopping with her parents in another time and space. Today she is still with her parents, but the person opposite is just a few years younger. Now here
This scene was novel to Lin Xue and I, but it had been repeated countless times to her. This difference in feeling is really strange now that I think about it.
Lin Xue obviously wanted to go with me. Her face was always a little red. At this time, she touched my arm lightly: "Mu Mu, it seems that we will adapt well in the future. I bet this child will not be polite to us at all."
Yes, but I... really have no experience in being a mother!"
I giggled and pinched Lin Xue's cheek: "Our child, our child..."
The eldest lady's mouth trembled, and she poked my waist with chopsticks: "You have the right to choose to remain silent. Anyway, I will find a way to shut you up!" Then she looked diagonally upward with her eyes at a 45-degree angle, sighing.
He muttered: "It's good this time. I have gone one step further than Sandora and Qianqian like never before. I originally wanted to find a balance in my heart, but this time I went too far."
After eating, Xiaoxue's energy did not decrease at all. On the contrary, she was more interested because she had eaten and drank enough. She took Lin Xue and me to walk around the entire Xueyuan Road. This was the beginning of the embarrassing journey at the other end, because this
The girl saw many familiar faces along the way. The girl was sweet-tongued and greeted everyone she saw. Even if the other person's face was full of surprise, she could not stop her from approaching everyone and chatting affectionately:
"Third uncle sells bracelets? Is business going well? Are the bracelets still fading?"
"Fourth aunt will grill skewers for us two, me? Oh, you don't know me yet, but you just need to know my dad, right dad?"
"Ah! Auntie, good afternoon, auntie!"
"Uncle! Uncle! The bracelet is so beautiful! Is this made of plastic or glass?"
"That's Uncle Cu Chulainn, right? Still carrying his lightning rod?"
"Hey, Uncle Ball! You have writing on your body again. Who wrote it for you: Please keep rolling at a constant speed to avoid being bruised. It must be those junior students. Oh no, you haven't gone to the college to teach yet -
Me? I am Chen Xiaoxue! You will know me from now on!"
The strange girl named Chen Xiaoxue is full of energy. She greets every upright walking object she encounters on the road, including even rolling creatures (this is another cold). All kinds of strange names are as popular as popping beans.
She jumped out of her mouth and made everyone who met her faint. If she greeted people like this under normal circumstances, they would definitely be regarded as crazy, but the person opposite would first notice her before they saw her.
It was Lin Xue and I who saw it, so my shock could only turn into a sneaky inquiry after this strange girl walked over: "Where did you pick up this living treasure?"
I couldn't bear to tell these people that in a few years, an identical living treasure would have to torment the entire city's residents starting from the age of one.
After Chen Xiaoxue finally started hugging the panic-stricken Arturia and calling her "little aunt, little aunt", Lin Xue and I finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to drag this girl with a broken upbringing back.
: "Where do all these messy titles of yours come from! Are Arturia and you an aunt-nephew relationship?!"
Xiaoxue looked up at the sky and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "How could I know? There are a lot of people around me since I was a child. You said they are all elders. However, I learned to speak too early. I like to agree to others' greetings, so I
I can only call them randomly. I have been called like this since I was a child. Except for male and female, which are good names, other titles are randomly given. Anyway, the person being called will understand the spirit..."
I:"……"
At this time, someone finally reacted. It was Medusa who had just been caught by Xiaoxue and called her fourth aunt: "Boss... what on earth is going on?"
"Let me introduce you," I saw that there were many people around me, so I pointed at Xiaoxue with a helpless expression on my face, "This is my daughter, uh, Lin Xue and I..."
The eldest lady's mouth trembled and she turned to look at the sky. She didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't deny it, so there was an uproar around Yinglinglin. Cu Chulainn was quick to speak and pointed at the strange girl Chen Xiaoxue who looked at least 17 or 18 years old and was shocked: "
Boss! This is too big! Could it be that Dingdang ripened it?"
Medusa's expression changed drastically, while Arturia raised her sword and shouted: "Get cover! Hide!"
The circle of people flashed away in an instant. I opened the energy shield with a dull expression and closed my eyes, silently reciting one, two, three in my heart. When I opened my eyes, Cu Chulainn had disappeared.
Medea, who was running slower, walked back with an afro on her head: "As a guard, he should at least learn to add an honorific after the goddess's name. Then boss, this...new princess...uh,
what happened?"
The heroic spirits have been living in Avalon for a long time. Although they belong to Dingdang's soldiers in terms of organization, due to Dingdang's unreliability, they mostly come into contact with me, so now I am quite familiar with these heroic spirits.
, we are very relaxed with each other as long as it is not a formal occasion. This will probably be the same in the future. Otherwise, it is unlikely that Chen Xiaoxue would grab Artoria and call her aunt. Now she sees me suddenly appearing with a brand new princess.
, and it was said that she was Lin Xue's biological daughter, so even the heroic spirits who didn't like gossip came over, including Artoria. I looked around, finally shrugged, and told everyone about Xiaoxue's origins.
Of course, in the end, they didn't understand anything except "Xiaoxue is the princess from the future." The way this strange little girl came to this timeline was so convoluted that I even suspected that she came here just for fun.
It tests people's reasoning ability.
A group of heroic spirits were very interested in the appearance of another princess, and they all suggested that a welcome ceremony should be held and at least a dinner party should be held. This is not surprising. The heroic spirits we pried from the Holy Grail World were specially selected, and most of them were
Coming from an era when princesses and knights swept across half the sky, people in this era, except for a few non-mainstream heroic spirits, are extremely sensitive to the following words: princess, king, knight, conquest, and honor. I believe that for them, among the members of the royal family,
Anything more is worthy of publicity, including an extra princess and the king's cub, and Lin Xue and I, a pure couple, have been a model of imperial love for a long time, and now the two of us are
A man of great power suddenly has a flesh and blood of seventeen or eighteen years old. How can you let these guys who have nothing to do all day long to accumulate adrenaline soothe their raging cerebral fluid...
However, Xiaoxue didn't seem to be too cold about the welcome ceremony, because in her opinion, it was really nothing worth celebrating. In her own timeline, she met these heroic spirits almost every day, and it was only a few minutes since they were separated last time.
In less than a month, it’s hard to understand that a banquet should be held after such a short separation. This is again a gap caused by different timeline perspectives, and it is visually estimated that I will have to follow him for a long time in the future.
This gap has been dealt with.
Of course, in the end, I agreed to the heroic spirits' wish to hold a welcome ceremony, because I know these unreliable guys and drunkards who make up half of the country very well. I am sure that most of the reasons for their welcome ceremony are actually for their own entertainment.
After hanging out with the fairies from Gensokyo for a long time, this tendency has become more and more serious. Whether Xiaoxue catches a cold or not at the welcome party doesn't seem to affect their activities at all.
It was already mid-afternoon before we knew it. Although Xiaoxue was still very energetic, her parents really didn’t have that much energy to hang around outside. You know, we were very nervous in the first half of today and commanded a simultaneous raid.
The big melee in the world of three fallen apostles. I really want to know what kind of material this strange girl of mine is made of. Logically speaking, she should be more tired and panicked than us: this girl not only fought with the fallen apostles, she
But he led the fleet to raid all the way from the enemy's hinterland! By the way, are these "ultimate offspring" born after the Void Cataclysm all made of special alloys?
After I got home, I found that Qianqian had indeed come back. After hearing the news, her family members, including Sandora, were also there. There was a large circle of little girls around Qianqian, including the gang of rose girls, and Qianqian was happily giving them
She was talking about something, and when she saw the three of us appearing in the living room, she immediately pointed at Xiaoxue and shouted: "This is it, this is it! Projected from the future! Your sister!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Bubble appeared in front of Xiaoxue without anyone noticing. He glanced at the latter with a stern expression, raised his arms and said loudly: "Guacri!"
"Sister Pao'er! Wow, Sister Pao'er can't speak yet!" Xiaoxue suddenly picked up little Pao'er with eyes flashing, put it on her chest and rubbed it hard, making her want to feel what it's like to be a sister.
Little Paopao screamed loudly. Little Bubble looked innocent but not stupid. She knew what a sister was and what a sister was. And because of her talent as a Xiling host, she probably didn’t understand Xiaoxue’s origins any better than others.
How much shorter, so she felt that she should say hello to her future sister as an older sister. The only regret is that she absolutely ignored her current height...
(Recommend a book, "Moon Pilot", a new science fiction book. It tells what happened after humans discovered that the moon is actually a giant planet mothership. The reason for recommendation is that in this era of overgrown grass, it unexpectedly turned out to be
It has a pretty light-hearted writing style and ideas. The protagonist's mentality is normal and the character's performance is very distinct. What's more, the content of the book is worthy of the label of "science fiction" and has a somewhat classic science fiction flavor. Of course, there are also flaws.
If you look at it from the perspective of orthodox science fiction, this book still has technical loopholes and errors in details. This may be related to the fact that the author is a liberal arts student - but in today's environment, it is actually difficult to find a book that is more like science fiction than it.
