In the vast starry sky, the level of scientific and technological development of human beings is actually not as good as that of alien civilizations. Human beings who started from the earth, after several epochs of expansion, have not actually broken out of the Milky Way, and are still wandering around in the Milky Way. But others

The alien civilization has already arrived in the Milky Way from other galaxies. The technological gap between them can be imagined.

In today's starry sky world, the scientific and technological development of non-human highly intelligent life forms is almost a whole level higher than that of human beings. For example, the Dejia Empire, which has the most advanced technology, has reached a state of perfection in its research on robots. The Dejia Empire's

Mechanical warriors are the strongest fighting entities in the starry sky world. Human beings simply cannot stand behind them.

If the duel was purely based on battleships, fighter planes, and mechas, mankind would have almost no hope of victory. In previous star wars, human battleships, fighter planes, and mechas were almost all suppressed in terms of combat effectiveness. In the era of cannons and giant ships

, the human army has almost never defeated alien civilization.

Fortunately, mankind still has the last trump card: cultivators.

In fact, if there were no practitioners, human beings might have been wiped out many times.

Becoming a cultivator and protecting the safety of mankind is the dream of countless passionate young people. Unfortunately, Xia Xingxiao does not think so in his heart. Because his mind is not in the army at all. Everything that happens here seems to be the same as

He has nothing to do with it.

When others were testing, Xia Xingxiao didn't pay attention at all, feeling like a wooden man. When it was his turn to take the test, he sat on the chair numbly like a robot, motionless, and allowed his brain to do whatever he wanted.

In the starry sky world, all martial arts are directly instilled into the mind through information. The instrument responsible for this level is commonly known as the optical brain. All optical brains have strict control procedures, and can only be used in specific areas.

Turn on. The purpose of this is to prevent martial arts information from leaking to the public and being learned by people with ulterior motives.

Of course, these are official statements. In fact, in many remote or dark corners, there are always people quietly selling chips related to various martial arts. If ordinary people get these chips, they can actually practice secretly.

The chip is actually a type of optical brain. Its function is equivalent to a USB flash drive in the ancient earth era. It is just that the information recorded by the chip is much less than that of the optical brain. Generally speaking, a chip only

Record a skill.

The yellow-green light slowly fell down, covering Xia Xingxiao's whole body. In an instant, Xia Xingxiao felt that her whole body, every meridian, every cell, every pore, and every drop of blood seemed to be...

There is nothing to hide from the light brain. Even his thoughts seem to be penetrated by the light brain.

Of course, this is just an illusion. Even though the starry sky world has flourished for several epochs, there is still no thorough understanding of the complex organ of the human brain. It is definitely impossible to pry into human thoughts. The secret of the human brain will always be

's mystery.

In fact, all countries in the starry sky also have similar prohibitions against all behaviors of prying into other people's thoughts. Otherwise, you will be punished both morally and legally. After all, thoughts are the last thing of mankind, and no one wants this last thing.

be exposed.

The optical brain finally calculates different cultivation indexes based on different test items. The cultivation index of a normal natural person should be one point. For every additional point in the future, the practitioner's cultivation speed can basically double. Add two points.

, the cultivation speed is four times faster. However, it is not easy to obtain a cultivation index of more than one point.

All the more than 550 new recruits recruited this time have been tested, and Xia Xingxiao is the last one. In the previous test, the one with the highest cultivation index was only three points, and there were only two people. One was named Song Haicheng.

One is called Yesifu. There are less than twenty people with a cultivation index of two points. The others are all one point at the entry level.

Xia Xingxiao estimated that he only had one point to live. He didn't want to stand out at all. His ambition was to leave the army. If he performed too well, there would be no way to realize this ambition. Therefore, during the test,

At that time, he was not nervous at all and relaxed wholeheartedly. In his opinion, this qualification test should be over soon. Others before it were all over very quickly.

However, something abnormal happened.

The yellow-green light flashed repeatedly on Xia Xingxiao's body, but the cultivation index was never given. The numbers displayed by the optical brain were constantly changing. From one to nine, it was messy. Occasionally, the display screen was still blank.

It was blank, and then sections of garbled characters appeared.

If the optical brain were a human being, its reaction could basically be understood as that it could not make up its mind and did not know how many points it should give Xia Xingxiao. If the plot was more serious, it could also be understood as the test program inside the optical brain.

, received some strong external interference, fell into a state of chaos, and was unable to operate normally.

"What's going on? Lao Gao, Lao Gao! Come and have a look! There seems to be something wrong with your machine!" Yu Zhilei was the first to notice something was wrong, and she hurriedly shouted.

At that time, she happened to be standing opposite the optical brain, responsible for recording everyone's cultivation index, and happened to discover the anomaly of the optical brain. In fact, all the test data was connected to the Internet, and she could check it at any time. It was just that she was used to taking notes in person.

While waiting for the technician, Yu Zhilei walked to the side of the optical brain and carefully checked the various test procedures of the optical brain. No abnormalities were found. She looked at Xia Xingxiao again and found no abnormalities. However, what was displayed on the screen

Judging from the chaotic numbers, there is indeed an abnormality in the optical brain. The test program of the optical brain is completely disordered.

If the guess is correct, the optical brain should have suffered strong interference from its own program, making it unable to operate normally. However, how could anything in the test building cause strong interference to the optical brain?

Xia Xingxiao looked like he was asleep. During the test, his contact with the outside world was temporarily interrupted. Therefore, he did not know anything about the outside world. Time, for him,

That said, it has been stopped for the time being.

Soon, the relevant technicians arrived. They checked the test program and found no problem. They also checked around the test building and found no source of interference. They immediately turned off the optical brain, restarted it, and retested.

However, the strange thing is that Xia Xingxiao's practice index is still flickering. Sometimes it is the lowest score of zero, sometimes it is the highest score of nine, sometimes it is completely blank, or some even the technicians are confused.

The program code is incomprehensible. After half an hour of tossing, the optical computer never gave a stable data.

"Report to the commander...test the optical brain..."

This strange situation occurred for the first time in the Mianluo Military Base. The relevant report quickly reached the base commander, Colonel Chen Duohai. He immediately opened the holographic image and conducted a comprehensive inspection of Xia Xingxiao.

Research.

He believes that there is no problem in testing the optical brain. The problem must be with this recruit named Xia Xingxiao. The question now is, what is weird about this recruit? The deeper question is, what is weird about the optical brain?

Can't find it?

The recruits present slowly realized that something was wrong. They looked at each other and whispered quietly. Is this Xia Xingxiao some kind of monster in disguise? Is he a cyborg or a synthetic human?

In the starry sky world, cyborgs and synthetics are the enemies of natural people. The Starry Star Federation has clear laws, and cyborgs and synthetics must be dealt with seriously. If Xia Xingxiao is not a natural person, what awaits him will be immediately

The result of arrest and exile.

Yu Zhilei obviously also has such worries. She has called the military police of the base to keep a close watch on the surrounding areas. Once it is proven that Xia Xingxiao is a biochemical person or a synthetic person, he will be mercilessly exiled to outer space and left to fend for himself.

self-destruct.

However, subsequent data showed that there were no biochemical residues on Xia Xingxiao's body, and no blood components of the monster were detected. Therefore, it can be concluded that he is not a biochemical person or a synthetic person, but a 100% natural person.

What caused serious surprises in the data were two of the tests. One was the soul perception and the other was the expansion coefficient of the meridians. These two are the most important qualifications for practitioners. The data showed that the results of these two tests

, all are question marks.

Soul perception seems very mysterious, but in fact it can be commonly understood as understanding, talent, talent, etc. How much of the knowledge transmitted from the optical brain can be received, how much can be understood, and how much can be digested are all related to this soul perception.

.

If the soul's sensitivity is too low and it cannot fully accept, understand or absorb the knowledge transmitted from the optical brain, various errors will occur during the cultivation process, resulting in poor cultivation effects.

discount.

In addition, the soul's perception is also related to the space of the sea of ​​consciousness. There is too much information contained in the optical brain. After it is transmitted to the human mind, it needs to be stored in a place called the sea of ​​consciousness, and then slowly digested and absorbed.

The size of the sea of ​​consciousness is related to the amount of knowledge stored. The larger the sea of ​​consciousness, the more knowledge that can be stored, and the more martial arts skills that can be cultivated. The more martial arts skills that can be cultivated, the better the understanding of martial arts will naturally be.

The deeper it is, the better it will be to enhance combat effectiveness.

The expansion coefficient of the meridians is related to the specific cultivation speed. The movement of inner breath needs to be carried out through the meridians. Absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth also needs to pass through the meridians. To perform various martial arts skills and instantly release powerful energy also needs to pass through the meridians.

It can be said that meridians are the basic channels for practitioners to communicate energy between heaven and earth.

The more the meridians are expanded and the smoother they are, the more outstanding the training effect will be. When performing martial arts skills, the power will be greater. On the contrary, when the meridians are blocked and the number is scarce, the training effect will naturally be disastrous.

In these two tests, the answers given by the optical brain are all question marks. Obviously, the optical brain cannot judge the scores of these two items. Since even the two most important indicators cannot be tested, the final cultivation

The index naturally cannot be formed.

Chen Duohai asked in the communicator: "Dr. Gao, what's going on? There has never been such a case before! Do you have any good suggestions?"

Dr. Gao, the operator of the optical brain, is really unable to give a convincing answer to this question. The only thing he and his team can do is to constantly restart the optical brain to make sure that the detection program of the optical brain is correct.

Yu Zhilei, on the other hand, asked the military police to repeatedly check and test the surroundings of the building to make sure that there were no sources of interference around.

And Xia Xingxiao, our protagonist, the little white rabbit used as an experiment, has always been shrouded in yellow-green light. Fortunately, his connection with the outside world has been temporarily disconnected. Therefore, what happened to the outside world?

, he has no idea at all.

After a lot of fiddling, the optical brain finally gave a stable number.

0!

The big 0 stopped moving.

Dr. Gao and others looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked speechless.

After struggling for a long time, it turns out that this guy's cultivation index is actually zero? No wonder the optical brain is so entangled and unwilling to give a stable number. In fact, such a number is indeed too weird. You must know,

After the establishment of the Mianluo Military Base, no one has ever had a cultivation index of zero! The worst is even a little bit!

This Xia Xingxiao can be considered a record for the base.

Unexpectedly, during the recruitment of new recruits, the Mianluo Military Base actually recruited such a strange person.

If other military bases knew about this, I don’t know what kind of emotion they would express. The luck of the Menluo Military Base in recent years seems not to be very good. In addition to being repeatedly attacked by space monsters, even the space

The sand pirates also came to join in the fun. Occasionally, you can still feel the shadows of the Capricorns and Samoans. The Myanmar military base is really a constant source of news!

"Ah? Zero!"

"His cultivation index is actually zero?"

"Ah? Zero? Isn't this the legendary super waste?"

Looking at the final number given by the optical brain, the recruits couldn't help but whisper.

This Xia Xingxiao is so weird, he actually got a zero! It’s simply unbelievable! Why don’t you get a point? What does zero mean? Zero means waste! One who can’t practice at all.
To be continued...
