Steel steam and flame

The younger sister, who has the same father and mother, was born in the same mother's womb as Carla in the training plan, but was born one year later than Carla. She looks very similar to Kara, at least 70% or 80% similar. But because of the different growth environment, or the different people they met at the same time, the two have completely different personalities.

Although they are biological sisters, the relationship between the two is not good, so it is okay to regard them as unrelated people. There is rarely such affection as family affection between the products of the human creation plan and the training plan. From birth, no matter what kind of education, they are competitors with each other. This kind of relationship does not only exist among people in the same period, but also among people in different periods.

This happened to be the result for Natalie. The glory that originally belonged to her was almost completely taken away by Kara. And the Master Royte she spoke of had the same result. Perhaps because they were childhood friends, they had been training together and performing family tasks since childhood, and they had always been cared for by Kara. Kara, who was supposed to be thanked, instead received hatred from the jealousy that slowly accumulated in the two people's hearts. Not everyone likes to hear the sweet chirping of birds in the early morning, and they may disturb the good dreams of those who sleep late.

,,,,,,

A dozen or so people, who were not many in the first place, were called over. The old man shook the document delivered by Natalie and said, "Start the radio system, connect to all the analysis machines and difference machines of the family distributed throughout the empire, and then release them." "Zero segment" frequency, just accept the feedback signals one by one."

"Too many processing resources are currently occupied by the biology department. Should we prioritize some key areas for searching?" It was a young guy, one of the rare young people among more than a dozen people. He glanced at the document that was handed over, thought for a while and said, "The document has shown that the target person's authority level just stops at the line where the analysis can be known, although it is not ruled out that she may pass through some people in the family. We know this secret, but this is also a matter of luck. We can take a gamble, and in the end it will not hinder what we want to do."

"How about it, I think it's feasible." Another young man next to him said, he was a little older, and he was full of vitality compared to several old people around him.

"Just do as you say." The person who obviously has the decision-making power among the dozen or so people said, "Sooner or later you will take over this place. Soon, it will be time for me to leave here honestly. As I get older, My thinking has also become slow, and sometimes I can no longer remember the programs clearly."

Lonely words, but the old man stopped his sigh at the right time, and then skillfully inserted the permission password card according to the operation that had been repeated countless times. Under the joint operation of more than a dozen people for a few minutes, the super analysis machine "Meredith" "Part of the operating authority inside was successfully activated. The power of the steam furnace under the ground was increased by several percentages at this time. More steam was transported in by countless bulging hoses and supplied to the gear shaft parts that had been silent for some time. them.

Still cooperating with the controls on each machine, a dozen people could barely handle it. But fortunately, the super analysis engine has successfully activated the remaining computing power and started running according to the program that had been set.

"Chief Inspector Lunga, if the family made the affairs of the analysis institute public, would something like this happen again?" Richido, the youngest of the dozen or so people, handed Chief Lunga a glass of warm water and sat on the chair next to him. asked.

Taking the glass, Lunga took a sip and put it down. Looking at Richido next to him who was able to work here at a young age, Lunga thought about the scene when he came to the search department when he was in middle age, and sighed in his heart.

"Of course you will. Maybe you feel that the family treats you very well. All the rules in the family are reasonable, and many times, certain rules will silently let you go. But remember, a large part of this The reason is your own background, and secondly, the most important thing is that you have a very useful head. It is rare for you to come here at such a young age in every family change." Lunga's face There was a thoughtful expression on his face, "You can understand it this way, because you are a rare talent elite, and your life has been smooth sailing since birth, so you don't know what the current situation of the family is like. And what supports the family? You don’t understand development at all.”

Riccido nodded. There were some parts of Lunga's words that he couldn't quite understand.

"The family is not as glamorous as it seems in your eyes. For a child like you who has never been exposed to the low-level conditions of the family since birth, I think your father and mother should also choose to educate you separately." Lunga said , "Just like when my children were born decades ago, they also chose separate education without hesitation, completely separating the bottom class of the family from your world. In your eyes, the family will always be a free and equal one. place. Although there are some disadvantages, it also brings more benefits. Just because you have not really experienced the atmosphere and world at the bottom of the family, you don’t know why every year, or Every month, various people choose to forcibly leave the family. Although the family has a complete system to help those who want to leave the family and abandon the 'Meredith' surname to escape through a safe process. But among them are If something is discarded, only a certain group of people in the management department may know about it.”

Richie nodded. He is now in his twenties. As a person who received a separate education in his family, it was not until he was twenty years old that he gradually came into contact with the whole family. This is the case for everyone. It is a step that everyone in separation education must go through. But fortunately, under the education of their family, they have "complete" minds and concepts, and they can naturally accept these facts over time. Just like the gaps between abandoned stone slabs, they will always be filled with lush weeds in spring and summer.

"But if they know the existence of the analysis institute, and know that within a few days after birth, every family member's body will be implanted with electrical regulation that accompanies the body's growth. And as long as it is not shrouded in extreme climate Will this situation be improved when the general location of a region, within the scope of the empire, can be detected in a short time?" Richido said, "The electrical regulation is at the back of the head, from It begins to grow after birth, and according to theory, after the age of twelve, it will be completely wrapped in flesh and blood, and it will be close to the brain stem tissue, making it almost a device that cannot be removed."

Lunga smiled, remembering that when his son was this old, he seemed to have had questions about the same issue, "There is actually no necessary connection between those people who want to leave the family and whether they know about electricity regulations. The bottom of the family You should have a rough idea of ​​what the population size is. The family cultivating them is like raising a group of,,, well, 'transitional' creatures in captivity."

Lunga thought about this strange word for a moment, "The people at the bottom of the family are a group of 'transitional' creatures. They are in the stage of transition from wild wolves to domestic dogs. But they are neither vicious wolves with blood-stained fangs nor A docile and amiable dog. There should be no problem in describing it this way. Because it is in the transitional stage, it can not only ensure the convenience and safety of captivity, but also ensure the fierce competition without losing its wild nature."

"That is to say, when the family wants a ferocious wolf, they can turn into a ferocious wolf at any time. And when a family dog ​​is needed, they can immediately turn into a docile dog that wag its tail when it sees its owner. And in Among these transitional creatures, those who broke away are a group of people who turned into ferocious wolves in advance?" Richido understood this way.

"You can think of it this way. Fierce wolves cannot be trapped, but they are especially needed by every force. Their eyes are extremely sharp. The moment they roared at the red moon, they had already glimpsed the world around them. The essence. Even though the shadow of the iron cage has disappeared from their eyes, through their keen sense of smell and perception, they know that the endless iron chain is tied around their necks at all times." Lunga said with a smile, "Just like here You and I, before we were twelve years old, we all had surgery to remove the electrical tube from the back of our heads. But are you sure that there is really only one electrical tube in our bodies?"

"So it depends on each person about these things." Lunga said, "At least while I lost part of my freedom, it bought me more things. The black forest has long been occupied by spiders There are sticky spider webs everywhere. When you finally break free from a spider web and are rejoicing to get rid of the fate of becoming a spider's mouth, you don't know that in the darkness, you are stepping on what you think is a big spider web. On the ground, the vibrations have spread quietly. Then eight pairs of bigger eyes are already watching you silently in the darkness that you can't distinguish. "

"Just like the effect of electric regulation, when those who escaped thought that they were safe, the spider had already fallen into the web by relying on the spider silk. At this moment, it was holding up eight hairy legs. Next to the mouthparts, the pair The fangs are ready to give a fatal blow to these foods that don't know the situation yet." Richie thought for a while and said.

Lunga smiled, "Yes, in a dark forest, without firelight to guide the way, how can you avoid countless spider webs? So in the forest, the best way is to find a huge spider web to help the mother spider take care of the food. They live as male spiders, although sometimes male spiders also become food..."

While talking to the side, the super analysis machine "Meredith" was also working silently. Radio signals quickly and silently shuttled through various target cities, looking for a piece of electrical regulation whose number represented the name Kara Meredith.
