[Ding ding, ding ding, new message received]
A line of words appeared in front of Luo Tian: Did you miss me? followed by big red lips.
Luo Tian was quite surprised to see that the message was sent by the Scarlet Witch.
Usually, adding friends in Kaiyuan requires the other party to apply, which is also to protect personal privacy. She was able to easily jump over the security wall and appear directly in the friend list. She is indeed a powerful hacker.
Luo Tian replied: Is this what you call a mark?
The Red Witch said: Of course not, I won't tell you the meaning of the mark. Anyway, I can find you at any time.
Luo Tian felt a huge eye hanging above his head, watching his every move. Who is she?
Lorraine didn't expect to be able to chat with Morey and Wood for so long. When he came out, he didn't see any sign of Luo Tian. The dim lights and the dancing crowd created a lot of obstacles for him.
At this time, the AI female voice sounded [The Human Battery show is about to start, please vacate the venue! The Human Battery show is about to start, please vacate the venue! ]
The white light came on, and the crowd in the dance floor quickly retreated like a tide, revealing the snow-white ice surface.
Luo Lin only then noticed Luo Tian and quickly slid over. Seeing him standing there in a daze, as if he was worried, he asked with concern, "Xiaoyao, are you okay?"
Luo Tian finally reacted. He didn't even notice when Luo Lin came over. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Very good. I was watching them dance and wanted to learn. You talked to them for a long time. You must have gained something, right?"
Lorraine whispered, “Let’s talk when we get back. It’s not convenient here.”
The two slid to the side and leaned on the guardrail beside them. Luo Tian asked curiously, "What is this human battery show?"
Lorraine whispered, "The Star City law stipulates that no one is allowed to manufacture machines and hot weapons. Only cold weapons such as swords can be used. However, there are always some people who are willing to take risks and manufacture weapons to sell on the black market to earn more Kai coins. If these people are caught by the Uranus City Guard, they will be directly imprisoned and sentenced. If they are found by hackers from other Star Cities, their information is tracked, and then the evidence is submitted to the embassy, then it will not be solved by a simple sentence."
"How to solve it?" Luo Tian asked.
Lorraine continued, "Once the embassy informs us of the information about the weapon maker, it is equivalent to informing us that we must deal with it strictly, otherwise they will intervene. In this case, Star City will send a cleaning division to clean up the offender's memory and consciousness in front of envoys from various countries. This process is called producing a clean body. The clean body is then transported to the battery processing plant, where engineers will put the clean body in a nutrient dish to maintain the minimum survival function. The brain of the clean body is then connected to electrodes and processed into a small server to store real-time data from Kaiyuan Star City. At the same time, the machine can convert the human body's bioelectricity into electrical energy. At this time, the clean body becomes a human battery."
Luo Tian immediately thought of a sci-fi movie called The Matrix from 300 years ago. Most of the humans in the movie lived in a nutrient dish made by machines, relying on the nutrient solution supplied by the machines. The human brain was connected to a plug, and they lived completely in a virtual world made by machines without realizing it. The machines used the human body's bioelectricity to maintain energy and operate.
What shocked Luo Tian was that in the movies at least humans could choose to live in the virtual world or the real world, but here, once they became human batteries, they would have no power of choice at all.
Because after a person's memory and consciousness are erased, only the most basic brain activity remains, which is tantamount to being a vegetative state. The meaning of life no longer exists.
What makes Luo Tian even more sad is that in Uranus City, people who can write programs for machines and thermal weapons are absolutely scarce technical talents. Now, not only does the Star City not retain these people, but it also wants to convict and sentence them, and even make human batteries. Isn't this cutting off their own path?
"Lorraine, don't you think this law is a bit ridiculous? Why should other star cities interfere in our affairs? Also, Uranus City only has cold weapons, while other star cities can develop hot weapons. If other star cities attack us, we will surely die without a burial place! These technical talents should be the ones we focus on protecting and training, but now they are being tortured or even killed. In the long run, I'm afraid..." Luo Tian tried hard to lower his voice, but he couldn't suppress his inner anger.
Lorraine patted Luo Tian on the shoulder and comforted him, "This is clearly written in the Star City Convention, and we must abide by it. As for whether other star cities will attack us, you don't have to worry about it. The convention states that as long as Uranus City abides by the agreement, it can be absolutely safe. If one star city starts a war against us, the other star cities will not sit idly by and will definitely protect us."
Luo Tian looked at Luo Lin's confident expression and almost laughed: "You believe this kind of guarantee? If I really want to beat you, I can just find an excuse. There is no real friendship, and there is no absolute credit. The only thing that exists between Star Cities is eternal interests."
Luo Lin felt a chill in his bones after hearing Luo Tian's words. This shouldn't come from a 20-year-old young man who is inexperienced in the world. Rather, it sounded like the words of a shrewd politician. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Luo Tian thought, this is absolutely not okay, how can such an unequal treaty exist? This situation must be changed, otherwise Uranus City will be destroyed sooner or later!
The bald man with sunglasses looked around the place and soon found Luo Tian, but the girl was gone. He quickly surrounded him with his men and found that Luo Lin, the chief of staff of Uranus City, was also there. It seemed that this guy was indeed not simple!
When Lorraine saw the Saturn City Special Forces approaching with murderous intent, he immediately had a bad premonition. He greeted them with a smile on his face: "Eugene, long time no see, you look so good!"
