From scrap mecha to science fiction paradise

Chapter 56 City Ceylon
Ceylon City.

This is the city closest to where the black snakes gather.

If this city is a giant beast, then the gathering place of black snakes is the lice that live on the skin of this giant beast and suck blood.

Ceylon City is more like a city than a city.

Because from the outside, it doesn't look as open and free as a normal city. Instead, high walls are built outside and numerous automatic cannons are installed.

Of course, most of the cities in Blue Star currently look like this, except for the wastelands that have become uninterested in capital.

As for the reason, we have to mention the dimensional beasts.

Dimensional beasts are special monsters that can transcend space and appear all over the planet out of thin air.

The Blue Star Federation seems to have been at odds with an alien civilization for the past two or three hundred years.

The two sides had several fights, but neither could do anything to win over the other.

But the other party used a very disgusting tactic.

I don't know what method he uses, but from time to time, the other party can deliver all kinds of messy dimensional beasts across space.

Most dimensional beasts are nothing to the federation as a whole and can be wiped out easily.

But when it comes to subtleties, it is not something ordinary people can bear.

This is the case with scientific and technological civilization, which is stronger than the collective but weaker than the individual.

There are specialized agencies in the city to deal with dimensional beasts and clear them out in a timely manner, which basically causes no damage.

However, the wasteland is an abandoned and highly polluted area. It is completely worthless in the eyes of capital. Most of the people who survive are wastelanders who are not even considered poor people or even citizens. On the contrary, they will affect the security and stability of the city.

If a large amount of manpower and material resources are spent to clean up the wasteland over many years, not to mention the huge cost, but basically no benefit will be obtained, and even the voice of the people will not be earned. It can be said to be a pure loss-making business.

No one wants to trade at a loss.

However, the dimensional beasts that were not collected in time were roaming everywhere, making the wasteland even more dangerous and in turn affecting the safety of the city.

Kanji is also worried that alien civilization will threaten larger armed forces through means similar to dimensional beasts.

As a result, in the past hundred years of evolution, the current urban structure has emerged, with high walls and firepower everywhere.

These walls block dimensional beasts and possible alien armed forces, but more often than not, they block the remnants of the wasteland.

All residents in the city have identity chips. Without identity chips, they are not citizens. There is a high probability that they are dimensional beasts or some enemies in disguise. Even if they are wastelanders, wandering into the city will have a big impact on public security.

Therefore, whenever a creature without an identity chip approaches, these automatic cannons will fire without hesitation.

From a young age to an adult, one knows how cold the city is.

Automatic artillery, cold machinery and procedures, there is no room for mercy at all.

In the city, in an era of high intelligence, sales are AI, customer service is AI, and things are managed and processed by AI.

What? Are people and customers dissatisfied? Protest and complaint?
Sorry, the customer service staff responsible for handling complaints is also AI.

Go ahead and talk to the cold AI.

If the matter is really serious, it means that the program is wrong and the AI ​​design is unreasonable. At most, it is just an apology and a new AI with a different name but a different core.

In short, it is AI that is wrong, not us. We have a good attitude, admit our mistakes and correct them, and we will dare to do it next time.

(Real case, America leads the world/funny)

Of course, more often than not, it is actually impossible to make a big fuss. After all, information dissemination is also in the hands of capital.

If the information cocoon is well woven, all the people will see what they want to see, and there will be no waves at all.

"I can only send you here."

Lin Yu drove the heavy truck and stopped a mile away from Ceylon City, overlooking the city gate.

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

Bai Wei thanked her and looked at the city gate, remaining silent and not going down immediately.

It wasn't until Lin Yu's eyes fell that she reached out to open the car door and got down to the ground.

"Go ahead and keep in touch when you have time." Lin Yu said calmly.

"Well, I, I will help you find out how to cure Star Dome Disease."

Biting her lower lip slightly and slurping her lips, Bai Wei turned around again when her words reached her lips.

After saying that, he turned around and ran away in a hurry.

"Just let the little girl leave like that?"

Behind, Xue Siqiao, who was in another truck, also opened the door and got out, walked to Lin Yu's side, and watched Bai Wei go away.

"if not?"

Lin Yu glanced at her.

"I thought you would be sentimental or try to save me."

Xue Siqiao said: "You are a remnant of the wasteland, and she is a federal citizen. Now that we have entered the city, we may never see her again."

"If that's the case, what's the use of trying to retain him? And why should he be retained?"

Lin Yu shook his head.

For Bai Wei, after being together for so long, there are still some basic feelings, and parting is certainly a bit sad.

Moreover, he is a qualified candidate for the mecha engineering [team] task. If feasible, he would naturally want to take him under his command.

But, it was the same reason as the gentle middle-aged man before.

The timing is wrong.

Even if the misunderstanding is resolved, he doesn't have the capital to recruit others.

Forcible force or emotional binding will always lead to rebellion and exhaustion of affection.

"More than this, I want to ask, what about you?"

Lin Yu stopped the topic, glanced at Xue Siqiao, and said, "Aren't you going back to Ceylon City?"

From the fact that she was able to hack into the missile control system of the Seou organization, it is not difficult to see that this woman is not an ordinary person.

With this level of hacking skills and talent, if the mecha project didn't require hackers, I would probably be considered a "qualified person".

"I came out of it specifically, and I have no interest in going back for the time being."

When Xue Siqiao heard Lin Yu's question, he looked sad for a moment, shook his head, gathered his thoughts again, and said, "What about you? What are your plans next?"

"I?"

Lin Yu said: "I will probably go to a few gathering places around me while modifying the mecha. The Seou organization has several contacts in these gathering places. I found the list and dealt with it."

With a 3D metal printer, it is equivalent to having a small workshop. Whether it is modifying the armor of the flying general or manufacturing the armor of the Chunyang Emperor, you don't have to stick to one place.

Therefore, he planned to completely uproot all the remaining roots of the Seou organization while modifying and designing the armor.

Then, the only thing left to do further is to find a way to cure the star disease and obtain federal citizenship.

He asked Zhao Xing and the others to pay attention to these two points, but other than that, there is no clear channel for the time being, so he can only take it one step at a time.

"I don't have anywhere I want to go right now, and I'm very interested in clearing out the scum. Do you mind having a companion?"

Xue Siqiao said suddenly.

"of course can."

Lin Yu nodded.

There is a big difference between hackers and programmers.

But it is still a profession that deals with computers.

It’s also a good idea to follow him around and let him help you figure out firewall and system vulnerabilities.
