1. The world of legends(1/2)
Time is entering the end of 2010.
The earth is still in a calm and lively atmosphere.
Ordinary people still live a normal and ordinary life, and cannot feel the undercurrents under the world.
Intelligent equipment is still popularizing, and there is no good solution to the problem of high unemployment rates brought about by this, but it is a fact that intelligent equipment makes human life convenient, and even the most stubborn people cannot deny this.
During this year, thanks to the rapid development of smart machinery technology, a new form of treatment for diseases began to emerge worldwide.
Intelligent prosthesis.
Those high-end and precise mechanical prostheses can accept brain nerve signals to make accurate and corresponding actions, and are not limited to the limbs.
In the collaboration between the Oneka Consortium and the Osborne Group Biological Laboratory, researchers have developed prosthetics that can completely replace the internal organs of the human body.
Heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, even genitals, eyes, etc.
There are many varieties and powerful intelligent prosthetics are constantly being developed. Driven by the powerful industrial capabilities of the Onika Consortium, the prices of these prosthetics are falling like a big dive.
Perhaps in a few years, the prices of these prosthetics will be accepted by ordinary people.
This east wind of technology naturally affected the development of human medicine. Many incurable diseases have hope of curing them, and for those vegetatives who have occurred due to various disasters, this is a life-saving method.
In the past six months, more and more news about cyborgs have been reported. After undergoing a holistic organ transplant, even vegetatives who have been bedridden for many years have hope of walking again.
Of course, this high-end surgical technology is currently monopolized by hospitals under the Future Science and Technology Foundation.
On the one hand, capitalists must pursue profits.
On the other hand, this technology is far from perfect, and there are some ethical considerations, not everyone can accept survival as a robot.
But no matter what, in the eternal war between disease and life, human beings have mastered another weapon.
Since it works, it is only a matter of time to expand it around the world.
In the past year, another thing that has made humans a little worried and related to intelligence equipment is the rise of brain chips.
Many technologists, or young people who pursue trendy experiences, have begun to implant chips into their bodies.
Most of them are just primary physiological chips, which can be used as a medium without any external devices to manipulate some simple instruments.
Or simply use chips as medium to directly project game images in the brain to play real virtual reality games.
However, the rise of this trend greatly challenged the existing ethical system of human society.
Human beings began to actively pursue mechanical transformation. Does this mean the rise of another subculture?
If the research is more profound, it is not difficult to find that these pioneers who have implanted chips will have a favorable impression of a strange force.
Mechanical God Cult...
A mysterious force hidden behind the industrialization of intelligent machinery, a group of special ethnic groups that promote the sharing of the world between humans and intelligent machinery.
Are they good people or bad people?
What changes will they bring to the world if they develop and grow in human society so secretly?
At present, but no one knows it yet.
Of course, the major events that happened this year are definitely not related to smart equipment. More than a month ago, an emergency situation directly shocked the world, and the impact it brought has not yet cooled down to this day.
The world of Asgard fell from the sky.
It is called by some people the eighth continent that suddenly appeared on Earth!
Those islands as vast as land, those mysterious humans living on islands, on the scale of millions, and the way they appeared in this world.
A huge pillar of light falling from the sky!
This is like a legend in a myth, but the current news has confirmed that the Asgardians and the islands did appear in the light.
They come from outside the earth!
Most importantly, according to some magical rumor, the Asgardians had come to Earth more than once in ancient times, and they were the prototypes of Nordic myths on Earth!
God King Odin!
Thor Thor!
Victory and Harvest Goddess Sif!
Queen Friga!
These characters who only exist in legends suddenly appeared on the earth in a way that no one could have imagined. How could this not make all the people on earth excited?
This is not the first time that the melon-eating crowd on Earth has come into contact with the Asgardians.
When Thor was active as a superhero, he had a passion for star chasing. Even after Thor was silent for several years, there were still many Thor admirers in society.
Moreover, in recent days, after the official relaxed the information control over this matter, many true and false news have begun to spread on the Internet.
That comes from some pioneers and some lucky ones.
The Asgardians closed the islands, but also needed food and supplies.
Over the past period, they have made careful and simple contacts with the Earth's officials, with ships from several countries docking on the Asgard Island and sending them supplies.
And during this brief contact, many photos or information were leaked.
The most famous photo on the Internet is a photo of a soldier and an Asgardian female general. It is said that the serious and extremely outstanding female general is the legendary goddess Sif.
Well, there are other photos that bring half-true and half-false news.
For example, Loki, the god of pranks who has always appeared as a male in mythology, is actually a beautiful and sexy goddess. Any man who is lucky enough to see her will be impressed by Ms. Loki's charm, etc.
In short, curiosity about the Asgardians is widely present in the hearts of the general public, and most people in the world are looking forward to the moment when the Asgardians open the blockade.
For those who are legendary.
For that legendary world.
Everyone was curious.
The official contact has begun, but the official will definitely not tell the people all the information. Therefore, the people who are eating melons are waiting for the public interviews. This is the hottest news hotspot in the past month.
Journalists from all over the world will definitely not miss this hot topic.

"Clark? Clark!"
In the office of the Planet Daily, wearing a leather jacket and an investigative reporter who had just completed a hotspot visit, Eddie Brock shouted his colleague's name.
But Clark, who has always been keen, was a little lost.
Eddie shouted several times before awakening Clark.
The latter raised his head blankly and looked at Eddie, he said:
"Is there anything wrong?"
"Big news!"
Eddie held his tablet and placed it at Clark's hand, pointing to the screen and said:
"The official and the Asgardians have reached an agreement that the blockades of those islands will be lifted in a limited time in a few days. Although ordinary people are not allowed to set foot in that divine territory, as reporters, we are allowed to send an interview team there."
"The editor-in-chief plans to do a topic based on Asgard's customs and cultural landscape. He plans to create a big news, which is said to be about to do at least ten episodes of the program!"
Eddie rubbed his chin and sat at Clark's table, and he said to Clark:
"We must be the mission! I just saw that Rosan was already packing her luggage. We might have to stay on that island for several months, but... I don't know if Louise can go with us?"
Eddie looked at Clark and said:
"After all, she has been pregnant for a while, so it's probably inconvenient to move, right?"
"Well."
Clark looked at the message on the screen and said:
"I've asked Louise for a long vacation, and even if she wants to go, I won't agree."
"Can you convince her?"
Eddie said with some concern:
"The news this time is too big, and the whole world is moving. Whoever can get the best interview result is very likely to win the Pulitzer Prize. With Louise's personality, I don't think she will give up."
"I'll have a good talk with her."
Clark sighed and said:
"I've always been a little restless lately..."
"you?"
Eddie widened his eyes and said in a slightly exaggerated way:
"You are the most powerful man in the world. What else do you have to worry about? Do you have any perception?"
"I don't know either, it's hard to say."
Clark touched his chest, he raised his head and looked at Eddie, he asked:
To be continued...
