The Legendary Mechanic

The black and deep space seems to be like a curtain adorned with starlight and diamonds, in which a silver-white planet rotates quietly, and the surface is made of metal, raising a tower of sharp-edged machinery, which is connected with each other by air passages, forming a matrix-like pattern, and there is exquisite mechanical beauty in the strict layout.

This is the new home planet of Han Xiao's mechanical life civilization, located in the territory of the Super Energy Sacred Area, which is made entirely of mechanical life.

Originally, You Zu and other mechanical ambassadors wanted to name the new main star as the Black Star to show their respect for the main god Black Star, but they were steadfastly vetoed by Han Xiao, and finally You Zu and other ambassadors changed their minds and named the planet the Apostle Star.

On the busy alloy avenue, mechanical beings of all sizes and shapes bustled about. Some people's feet collided with the ground while walking and made a clanging sound, some people's tires rubbed against the ground and made a sneering sound, some people's engine cylinders roared continuously, and some people's exhaust pipes spewed out gas from time to time, forming a strange tune with a strong mechanical sense.

Han Xiao walked among the machines, his whole body covered with a camouflage coating, looking like an ordinary mechanical life, all the approaching mechanical life could not detect his presence.

"It's getting more and more prosperous here ......"

Han Xiao was secretly pleased with himself.

After taking in the World Tree, he no longer needed the mechanical civilization to produce mechanical soldiers around the clock, so he stopped the underlying order of the mob soldiers and let the mechanical civilization reproduce and develop by itself, which was the first time he carefully observed the changes of the mechanical civilization after the war.

Han Xiao's walking speed was not fast, as if he was walking slowly, and his eyes were constantly looking left and right, surveying the fleet of machines on the street.

Although mechanical beings are produced in batches, many of them should have the same model, but in the street there is almost no one identical mechanical life, even if the model is the same mechanical life, through self-modification, adding a variety of personalized structure, and also equipped with colorful painting, some people like guns, some people like blades, some people like reloading, some people like to run naked ...... If you change to the perspective of normal life, it is like the difference between clothing, hair, makeup, and accessories.

In the stores on the street, Han Xiao also saw all kinds of goods, most of which were modification stores and parts malls, with a wide variety of mechanical parts of various models, and also with different colors of paint, with huge traffic, mechanical life in and out of every moment, non-stop "trying on clothes".

In addition, he also saw a special snack store, where chef robots cooked machine oil, lubrication and maintenance gels, energy blocks and other items, and put them in a big pot to stir and boil, making all kinds of strange food, Han Xiao took a taste of it, and it was so unpalatable that it almost broke the defense.

But the other mechanical beings who came to buy it left satisfied, eating it with great pleasure, and it was a rare and delicious food in their eyes.

Han Xiao also saw a sensory stimulation store, which is a place of entertainment for mechanical beings, where devices are connected to directly simulate all kinds of senses and emotions, bringing a strong sense of stimulation to the intelligent core, and by paying a large sum of money, one can directly update and upgrade one's own emotional module through the store's host.

In a side alley, Han Xiao also saw a few small robots surrounding an alloy wall with graffiti. When he saw someone coming, he quickly dispersed, stepping on the electromagnetic roulette wheel and flying away against the wall, like a group of rebellious street teenagers. The graffiti on the wall was extremely wild, filled with a lot of distorted bright colors, the outline of which could be seen as a vague portrait of the Supreme Being.

In what should have been a cold and tight mechanical group, there was a strong sense of individuality, and the culture of free style was in vogue, and Henshaw could see fireworks from a group of mechanical bodies.

"The life of mechanical life is quite like the same thing ......"

Han Xiao smiled.

He had been treating the mechanical civilization mainly as an arsenal, and had not paid much attention to the changes in the life of the mechanical civilization, until he allowed it to reproduce freely, then he faced up to the budding cultural trend.

As a creator, he could have guided the cultural trend of the mechanical civilization, but he did not do so, and allowed it to take shape naturally.

Until now, he felt that the mechanical civilization was a bit "civilized".

As he walked, Han Xiao found himself in a giant mechanical square, in the middle of which stood two statues, both of which were of himself, one in his normal state, the other in his supreme heavenly state.

The mechanical life in the square flowed endlessly, and no one deliberately paid homage to the statues. At most, they occasionally stopped to look up to them for a while and then walked away to continue their own lives ....... Their admiration for Han Xiao was no longer stereotyped in form, but was placed in their "hearts".

Han Xiao came to the foot of the statue, stopped to look up, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall mechanical being carrying a small mechanical body of a similar model on its back as it walked by.

He turned his head to see what appeared to be a happy father and son, with the father letting the child ride on his neck, teasing him constantly.

Han Xiao watched the scene in silence, images of the decades of mechanical civilization following him into battle, countless mechanical beings taking to the battlefield under his orders and being used as cannon fodder, countless unique sparks of consciousness born in the chip circuitry, fading away into the cold universe along with the broken bodies.

Although they treated mechanical beings as tools, due to the limitations of the underlying logic, they did not complain, silently buried their hobbies and interests, sacrificed their lives to fight for themselves, and still respected themselves as "the Creator".

"I don't need you to fight for me anymore. Enjoy your new life at ......".

Han Xiao shook his head lightly, he would not cancel the underlying logic of the mechanical civilization respecting himself, but he also did not intend to instruct the mechanical civilization to fight anymore, he had already mastered the world tree and [Virtual Genesis - True], he no longer needed these mechanical beings to work for him.

He took one last look at his statue, memories flowing in his mind, and felt another information anchor point set, before turning around and disappearing into the crowded group of machines.

......

Within the Super Sanctuary, the new headquarters of the Black Star Legion.

Han Xiao strolled through the base, concealing himself so that no one would notice his presence.

The large base was very lively, with countless members of the Black Star Legion working there, people coming and going, and from time to time, people laughing and chatting and passing by Han Xiao.

He strolled around slowly and came to the area where the top brass were working. He saw Melos who was working on his case, Silvia who was still trying to hit the Super A level, Arothea who was staring at the starry sky outside the window, Lucky who was touching the fish and paddling, and Leonard who had been keeping the logistics department running for decades. ......

Looking at the scene of the Black Star Legion, Han Xiao was in a trance, and the hard memories of the beginning of his business surfaced.

He remembered that he had just entered the interstellar world and was still a "bumpkin" from a surface civilization, poor and with only guns in his hands.

These old buddies followed him to build up his business, along with a third-rate mercenary group, to the point where he is today.

It seems as if it was yesterday, and the memory is still vivid, and the situation of Melos, Arothea, Sylvia and others following them as mercenaries comes to mind. At that time, all of them were very green and risked their lives to fight. Now nearly a hundred years have passed, and all of them have become big figures in the interstellar world, no longer needing to do anything themselves, and have already achieved fame and success, and have a different life.

In retrospect, Han Xiao can't help but sigh the passing of time, including his own, everyone has more or less changed their original appearance, perhaps more nostalgic for the original self ...... always the freshest at the beginning, and always look at each other later, career advancement, views changeable, so that he somehow has a kind of "life if only like at first sight" lament.

However, he still prefers the spiraling development trend of things, so that the road ahead is constantly extended and various changes are ushered in.

Han Xiao's mind flashed with memories of the rise and expansion of the Black Star Army, and in a trance, he felt another information anchor being created, nodded his head, turned around and disappeared.

At the same time, Melos, Silvia, Lucky and others, who were doing their own things, were suddenly moved, and the image of Han Xiao suddenly appeared in their minds for some unknown reason.

"What's wrong with me ...... Why am I suddenly so nostalgic for the past Black Star ......"
