mechanical court

"Xiao Xi is here!"

A thick bolt of lightning flashed across the screen, and the pink-haired girl turned into a pink tornado whirling towards her. Following a split in the air, she stopped suddenly and appeared in front of the screen in a V-shaped hand gesture.

"..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ivan gave her two slaps with a cold face, nodded stiffly, and then twitched the corners of his lips with a half-smile: "It's a very unique way of appearing on the stage, and it's very in line with the beautiful movements of a comedian. , but pay attention to distinguishing the occasion in the future. When the situation is so tense, if you go offline like this, if there is an entity, you will definitely be beaten."

"Oh……"

Xiaoxi lowered her head in frustration, raised her hand and pulled down the screen of the watch, leaving the watch temporarily in a black screen state.By the time the screen brightened again, she had already completed a one-second change of clothes, from an off-line dancer to a shrewd and capable secretary.

"Xiaoxi, the universal assistant, is here, full of wisdom as always, and will share all your troubles." She pushed the black-rimmed glasses on her face and said solemnly.

Chapter 1 Seventeen Family

"Check the status of Noma Star for me to see if they have had terrorist attacks or some large-scale commotions recently." Ivan resisted the urge to give her a shudder, and forcibly ordered calmly.

"As ordered!"

Xiaoxi pretended to hold up a black folder, quickly flipped through it twice, and her expression suddenly became serious:

"Reporting to the master! There was indeed a riot on Norma not long ago. It seems that the intelligent system malfunctioned, causing a collective rebellion in the mechanical legion. The location is the mech research and development center on the outskirts of Norma Huadu. The situation has subsided now. The person in charge, Ni Val took the blame and resigned and is currently serving time in prison."

"The failure of the intelligent system triggered a collective rebellion of the mechanical legion..."

Ivan kept this sentence in his heart and pondered it over and over again, finally shook his head, and asked with a frown;

"Do you think this is possible?"

In the previous life, Citigroup often released similar blockbusters, such as the sudden rise of artificial intelligence, which pushed human beings into desperation.This kind of thing can indeed happen in the civilization of the earth, but in the federation where the mechanic sits, the artificial intelligence is a younger brother compared to the advanced mechanic.

Taking him himself as an example, he can digitize mental power at any time and directly obliterate artificial intelligence from a higher dimension.

The kind of super artificial intelligence that is as strong as Noah can't withstand the attack of a fourth-level mechanic, because the soul fire is the natural enemy for them.As long as the fourth-level mechanics don't mind giving up their self-awareness, they can absorb, erode, and assimilate all information and data. Artificial intelligence is just a slightly fattened pig in front of the soul fire.

"This is possible, because there is no mechanic in Norma. The intelligent system there has a recognition failure, and the problem can only be solved from a technical level, so it is not surprising that there is a riot that cannot be quelled temporarily." Xiao Xi answered seriously.

"Wait! When will the Normans change their attitude and ask the empire for an alliance?"

"20 days ago."

"Where is the time for Norma Huadu to have a mechanical mutiny?"

"23 days ago."

"It was only three days apart... That is to say, after the riot in Norma, their top management immediately changed their attitude."

Ivan turned his head and looked at the mountain of spaceship parts beside him, with a sharp light shining in his eyes:

"The rebellion of the mechanical legion made them realize that their military strength was insufficient, and they wanted to form an alliance with the empire... It really makes sense to speculate based on this line of thinking. But since shadow creatures have been mixed in, from the riot of the mechanical legion to the Norma Republic. Everything became suspicious."

"You mean... shadow creatures planned this riot?"

Xiao Xi immediately moved closer to the watch screen, her bright eyes kept getting bigger and bigger, and finally only her eyes were left on the screen:

"As expected of my master, the judgment is very reasonable. Combined with a series of follow-up performances of the Norma people, there is a high possibility that they will be controlled by shadow creatures at high levels, and then they will start to win over the empire and prepare to take the opportunity to seize your master. "

"That's pretty much the way it is."

Ivan frowned, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly felt a little tired, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows: "Ptolemy's news has probably been sent out, check the reactions of Norma and the Federation."

"Yes!"

Xiaoxi picked up the black folder again, quickly flipped through it twice, her expression gradually serious.The image suddenly turned into a rapidly expanding red pepper, and then exploded with a 'bang', blasting the watch screen into a sea of ​​flames:

"The Normas are so hateful, they actually bite back, saying that the empire was invaded by shadow creatures and killed their envoys! The Federation is even more hateful. They don't believe Ptolemy's words at all, and instead stand on the side of the Normas to condemn us .”

"let me see."

Ivan was unusually calm at this time, and his whole body was like a taut string, which could no longer be stretched by half a minute.After reading the diplomatic speeches of the Federation and the Norma Republic from Xiaoxi's pop-up window, he sighed silently:

"Compared to a pro-son like the Norma Republic, the empire is insignificant, and there is nothing wrong with supporting a pro-son on the diplomatic level. However, diplomatic statements cannot be taken seriously. Judging by the style of the Federation, there is no action on the surface, and it is willing to activate in private. Investigations against the Norma Republic and the Menesian Empire."

"Is this good news?"

"..."

Yiwen fell silent, did not answer immediately, and turned to walk towards the bedroom deep in the royal court.Although his back was still straight, his steps were heavy as if he was trudging through a quagmire. After a long time, he finally answered the irrelevant question and said:

"Anyone or force is unreliable, we can only rely on ourselves."

one-one-one-one

The silver lightning outside the window occasionally swept across the dark night sky, like a beam of dazzling knife light, piercing the sky.Ivan sat silently in the darkness, wiping the scepter that symbolized the identity of the Sun King. His dark pupils seemed to blend into the darkness without any luster.

The branches and leaves of the garden are rustling with the wind.

Elulome lay quietly on the bed surrounded by heavy gauze curtains, her silver hair was scattered on the snow-white sheets, her eyelids were quietly closed, like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale.

Ivan gently put down the scepter, looked at her raised belly, and unconsciously, his eyes gradually softened.Under the current situation of surging undercurrents, only this child who is about to be born can bring him a little comfort.

Perhaps it is the instinct of males to protect their offspring.

He has never been so urgent, eager to clear everything up, and to bring this child a safe environment for growth.

Before he knew it, Yiwen remembered many things from his previous life, his family in his previous life, and his father who left early and returned late every day.

In most civilizations of Blue Star, the concept of family is very emphasized, and the husband is often the pillar of the family, so he should protect his wife and children from wind and rain.Most husbands consistently fulfill their responsibilities, even if they are not understood, respected, or even loved.He still wants to do it, and he just takes on everything without complaint.

"..."

Unknowingly, Ivan lifted the gauze curtain, sat on the side of the bed, put his hand against her belly, and felt the fetal movement of the little life.That kind of movement is very weak, like ripples on the surface of a calm lake, which can't even be noticed if you don't feel it carefully.

But he could clearly feel the child's heartbeat, and every beat could inject new strength into him.

Ellome had already felt Ivan's movements, but she deliberately pretended to be sound asleep. She was willing to do this, quietly feeling the temperature in his palm.Only now can she feel that each other's hearts are connected, he is the husband of this family, and she is the wife.

Chapter 1 Meditation

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ivan's thoughts came to a standstill, letting time go by bit by bit, and the clock on the wall was ticking.Suddenly, a warm and delicate hand slipped out of the quilt, and gently took his arm.

"Are you worried about shadow creatures?"

Ellumi opened her eyes, the silver-gray pupils shone like a pool of clear water.There was doubt in her eyes, as if examining an unknown mystery, she looked him up and down.

"To bother you? Sorry."
