[Interstellar] Jade Master

Earth Alliance, 2270.

Ten years ago, the prototype of the world's first optical brain came out.The fifth industrial revolution began, and the world officially began to enter a state of full industrialization.Numerous occupations that paid great attention to manual skills in the past, such as cooking and carving, are no longer difficult with the terrifying computing power of the optical brain.

Even jade cutting, an industry that has condensed the painstaking efforts of countless jade carving masters for thousands of years, has been replaced by cold machines.After scanning, it is designed with optical brain, and then cut with laser, which is far more exquisite than manual carving.

Huaxia Kingdom, the capital, Qin Yuxuan.

Among the gorgeous modern high-rise buildings, a two-story retro small building is inserted out of place.This is the last handcrafted jade workshop in Huaxia District, and even in the world.In other words, its boss is already the last living hand-crafted jade master in the world.

Of course, when it comes to this boss, there are many rumors in the capital.

It is said that Qin Yuxuan's former boss was a husband and wife, both of whom came from a family of jade cutters, and both were extremely skilled jade cutters.The two are loving and harmonious, respect each other as guests, and live a happy life.

27 years ago, their love finally crystallized.

This child was born at the turn of winter and spring, and he did not cry or make trouble when he was born. He was well-behaved and obedient, and he was very likable.His father, Qin Lang, named him Qin Ruyu according to the ancient book "a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade".

Qin Ruyu is extremely talented, able to carve simple jade objects when he was young, and is known as the number one genius in the world of jade carving.

Until he became an adult, his skills had even surpassed Qin Lang.

Twelve years ago, Qin Lang announced that he would not recognize Qin Ruyu's status as a "jade cutter".Qin Ruyu fell out with his parents, threw away the knife angrily, and threatened not to cut jade again.Then study abroad.

This incident set off a big storm in the world.At that time, the time-brained jade machine had not yet appeared, and it was a pity that a peerless genius fell. Many people accused Qin Lang of being jealous of his son's talent, and Qin Yuxuan's business plummeted.

Five years ago, the optical brain jade cutter was invented. With its high speed, high precision, and zero error rate, the status of jade cutters plummeted, and countless jade workshops went bankrupt.

Three years ago, Qin Lang and his wife committed suicide.

Two and a half years ago, Qin Ruyu returned suddenly, but when he returned, he couldn't even see the dead bodies of his parents.

Qin Yuxuan was kept.Qin Ruyu broke the oath, held the sword again, and became the last jade cutter in the world.

Qin Yuxuan's business is not good, it can even be said to be dismal.Now all the theories of ghosts and gods have been overturned by science, and no one believes in the so-called reincarnation of cause and effect.All kinds of legends about jade will only make people scoff.

But Qin Ruyu didn't care.He is not short of money. It is said that he is one of the inventors of the Optical Brain Machine.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to support but the relatives don't wait..."

No matter how violent the external public opinion is, Qin Yuxuan's interior is still like an eternal silence.

Qin Ruyu was dressed in white, and knelt quietly on the futon, holding incense in both hands, and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner in front of the two tablets.

The faint aroma settled in the air, and the slender smoke traces lingered, lingering for a long time.

"The jade you cut has only form but no spirit."

It was this sentence that made him do something that he regretted in the end when he was young and vigorous.

Qin Lang and his wife committed suicide not because of bankruptcy, but because of guilt.Guilty towards the jade carving world.

Qin Ruyu, who studied abroad, learned about the promising optical brain technology industry. With her specialty in jade cutting, she led a team of scientists to devote themselves to research for several years, and finally invented the "legendary" optical brain jade cutting machine. , Completely overthrow the current jade carving world, and even the entire pattern of the carving world.

"Now it seems that you are right...Father." Qin Ruyu raised his head, stared at Qin Lang's tablet, and murmured.

The jade that I see now is all empty and exquisite in shape, but cold and lifeless.

They are all dead.

For some reason, he can see the life and death of jade that the world can't see at a glance.As if he himself is a piece of jade, of course he will recognize the bones of the same kind.

In fact, in this world, there has long been no real jade cutter.Only those who were not completely knocked down by the chaos five years ago were left, and they were never born again.

But, how can we make jade alive.

He can't.

Qin Ruyu's nature is cold and thin, and even her parents have worried about it countless times.Growing up to such an age, he never even talked about a relationship.

My father said that jade has spirits, and one must learn to understand their emotions in order to truly endow them with souls.

But he is like a god to Yu, indifferent and ruthless from a bird's eye view.He can judge their life and death, but he can't read their hearts.

He also has no heart.

On the day of his return, he knelt in front of his parents' ashes for a whole day, but he didn't cry, and even his face didn't change.Still expressionless.

After kneeling for a while, Qin Ruyu sighed softly, got up and walked outside.

I was planning to go back to my room and take a nap.Passing the corridor near the outer hall, I overheard someone arguing inside.

"Go away, I beg you, okay? The boss won't come out in the morning, so you can come back in the afternoon!" This was the voice of Qin Yuxuan's only clerk, Luo Dingwu.He recruited this clerk casually, regardless of his personality and work style, the first one to apply for the job was the one who wanted it.

Anyway, he has a lot of money, so he is not afraid.

"I...I have to catch the train in the afternoon. This is really the precious jade from my family. If it wasn't for the baby who wanted to marry a wife, how could I sell it to someone?" Baba explained to himself.

"A piece of uncut jade passed down from the ancestors? Do you think I'm a fool?" Luo Dingwu was already a little impatient, "Blood-soaked black jade, hehe. Use pig's blood to fake it!"

The ancestral blood and black jade?Qin Ruyu grasped the point instantly.

Frowning, and listening for a while, he still decided to take a look.This time is nothing.If the jade is real, he will still be very interested.

Pushing open the door and entering, Luo Dingwu was slumped in the big sofa with his legs crossed high inside, the tea he was holding had already wet his cuffs as he gesticulated.The other was an old farmer.The Huaxia District has a large agricultural area, and there are still many human resources in the poor areas.This one in a white coat and black trousers, with yellow shoes, can tell at a glance that he belongs to this category.

"Bring it to me and have a look." The farmer was arguing with Luo Dingwu, his face flushed, when suddenly a gentle and indifferent voice intervened.

"Boss... Boss!" Luo Dingwu was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up, but unexpectedly, his left hand, which was supporting his body, was suddenly inserted directly into the sofa, and a whole cup of hot tea that he hadn't drank in two sips was splashed all over his face with his right hand .

"Ah—" Luo Dingwu screamed, and while struggling frantically, he still didn't forget to report to the boss, "Boss... he's here..."

"Don't do this again next time, the ones who come in are the customers." Qin Ruyu gently held the box in the old farmer's hand without even looking at him.The clerk was indeed a little arrogant.

Besides, even if you swallowed public money, can't you just buy one that can bear your own two hundred catties?

"Hehe, hehe..." Luo Dingwu managed to get out of the embrace of the sofa, and laughed along with him, unable to say anything.

The old farmer rubbed his hands uneasily, thinking that the boss is really a good person, kind and polite.

Qin Ruyu didn't care about the old farmer's thoughts.In fact, he was completely overwhelmed by this piece of jade.

This is a small piece of blood-soaked black jade.Just the right size for a full wrap in one hand, really.With the talent he was born with, you can tell it at a glance.

This cannot be said to be valuable, after all, although such jade is rare, there are still some.There are actually quite a few in Qin Yuxuan alone.

But the traces of blood in this black jade are really weird.Unexpectedly, a lifelike blood dragon was faintly formed, with a snake body, animal legs, eagle claws, horse head, fish tail, antlers, and fish scales, all missing, as if it was sealed in it, and it was raising its head to the sky and howling.

More importantly, this piece of jade in the rough is dead.It has not been carved by human hands, but it is impossible to have a spirit.No matter how long the disk is, there will not be even a slight change.

"1000 million." Qin Ruyu straightened up and said to the restless old farmer, "Pay it now."

"Boss, are you crazy?!" Luo Dingwu exclaimed, such a little thing, 1000 million? !He didn't see jade, but it's not worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The old farmer was also stunned, unable to believe it at all.

"It's worth it." Qin Ruyu said simply.He wants to order this piece of rough jade!

This piece of jade was sold smoothly.Qin Ruyu didn't sleep the whole noon, so he held the jade in his hands and played with it. The more he looked at it, the more amazed he became, but he still couldn't find out the reason why the jade died.

So it is normal, at night, he suffers from insomnia.

Get up No.13 times in the middle of the night, it is midnight.Qin Ruyu didn't bother to turn on the light, so he simply held the jade in his hand and looked at the moon.

The elegant moonlight shines through the jade, and the blood dragon in the center roars like in billowing black clouds.

"Aw—" At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Qin Ruyu felt that everything around her was plunged into darkness.Surrounded by billowing black clouds, the sound of the huge blood dragon was shrill and crazy.

Endless black fire billowed out, like a ghost in purgatory that had been imprisoned for endless years.

That night, the capital was in chaos.

Qin Yuxuan caught fire in the middle of the night, and the fire was extremely terrifying.Even if the high-tech robot fire brigade arrives at super speed, it will still be too late.The boss Qin Ruyu and his only buddy Luo Dingwu were burned to death, and the last jade cutter in the world also disappeared.

Many people said that it was because Qin Yuxuan's boss received a piece of peerless jade that day, and Luo Dingwu couldn't help but seduce people to kill and seize the treasure.In the end, I don't know why I couldn't escape.It's just that no one found the legendary piece of precious jade in the end.Probably ruined.
