The data on the panel in Chapter 105
was all normal, but the previous feeling was not wrong, and Zhang Cishun believed in his own feeling even more. After all, when we were in City No. 88, the panel was not without glitches.
But there is indeed nothing abnormal at the moment, and Zhang Cishun can only remember this feeling secretly and be alert.
The most intuitive reaction is that Zhang Cishun released most of the nanorobots in his body, leaving only a small part of the medical nanorobots in his body. This instantly expanded his nanorobot 'field' to a considerable extent.
The flow of people from the convoy merged into the city, just like water blending into the sea, without causing any waves.
The tall hexagonal buildings blocked almost all the sunlight, leaving the entire city in shadow. Looking up, the sky was cut into strips of landscape. The cold and depressing feeling derived from technology acted on the few of them. on the body.
"Aren't we going in?" He tightened his collar again and quickened his pace several times. In the past few days, she had imagined what kind of city No. 114 was more than once, and even imagined one in her mind. But when she actually walked into this city, the huge contrast made her She doesn't adapt. Because the city blueprint she had conceived in her mind still did not provide a template for escaping from City No. 88.
What she didn't know was that City No. 88 was built on the Fire Ship. City No. 88 on the ship was not important, but the Fire Ship was important. But obviously this is not City No. 114.
The apertures in Zhang Cishun's eyes are shining, and the ability to liberate is constantly spreading to the surroundings with him as the center. Within the scope that he can explore, even if he does not enter the 'hive', he can still capture quite frequent things in the 'hive'. data exchange.
The frequency and content are far higher and much more frequent than those of City No. 88.
It's right to think about it. City No. 88 is closed to the country, trying to find a new biotechnology. The internal technology tree is split, coupled with the blockade of knowledge by think tanks and the confinement of only exchanging knowledge. Naturally, its level of development cannot be compared with this. Compared with City No. 114.
"Go in, but don't be in a hurry." Zhang Cishun said.
When he followed those convoys into the city, Zhang Cishun noticed something wrong. There are no guides or security check posts. It seems that everyone can pass through the city. The people in the convoy are also very familiar with this city. When they walk in, they feel as if they have returned home. They walk around the inside of this 'hive' that can be called a maze with ease, and then go to places where no 'doors' can be seen. Push the door open and enter.
Zhang Cishun originally thought it was the reason for the opening of the city, but later found out that it was not the case. The city appears to have no boundaries but is actually divided into an invisible inner and outer. According to Zhang Cishun's observation along the way, there are only six outermost layers of 'honeycomb' in the outer circle, and the rest are all in the inner circle. The biggest difference between the two is that the inner circle is not as open as the outer circle.
According to Zhang Cishun's observation after liberating the core ability, the amount of data exchange in the inner circle compared to the outer circle, the gap between the two is terrifying.
"There are no traces of movement here." Wen Yan, the only one in the team who could clearly see Zhang Cishun's concerns, had been making the same observation at Zhang Cishun.
Zhang Cishun nodded when he heard this: "If you go deeper from the sixth floor of the hive...or the sixth circle, you won't see any traces of movement. The dust accumulation here is quite smooth." Jing Shuo never lowered his head
. Look, I heard the conversation between the two at this time and looked down at the road under my feet. Then they turned around and looked back. As expected, they left quite a lot of footprints where they came from. Looking forward, there is no trace.
"Maybe the wind has covered up the traces." Jing Shuo said: "Dust of this nature can be easily moved by the wind." Zhang Cishun nodded and
said: "Under normal circumstances, this is possible. But we Consider the urban structure of City No. 114. 'Hive', and have you noticed? The spacing between the honeycomb cells in each circle..." Zhang Cishun said, stretching out his hand
. The fingertips of his left hand were pointing at the hive cell on the left, and his right hand was pointing at the hive cell on the right.
"What's wrong?" Someone in the team didn't notice the problem.
"The distance is getting smaller." Zhang Cishun said: "Starting from the first circle, every time we go inside the first circle, the distance is getting smaller, but the amplitude is not large, and it is not noticeable to the naked eye for the time being. According to Calculating the current level... If City No. 114 is big enough, then starting from the 100th lap, my open left and right hands can touch two cells at the same time effortlessly." "Let's imagine, what
? What level of wind...will erase the traces on the ground of the inner circle?"
he asked.
Scratching her head again, she felt that the answer was on her lips, but her intuition told her that she would be embarrassed again if she said this answer! etc! ……I! Why use it?
He was confused for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
"Let's imagine that there is such a super wind blowing from a certain side of the city..." Zhang Cishun explained with a movement of his hands: "The wind blows on the cells of the honeycomb and is then cut. , divided into two strands...and then cut...each circle! Each cell of the hive is a reducer!
And this is just the deceleration effect of the cell!
Do you know the Tesla valve? Cells and cells The gaps between them form quite simple Tesla valves, but in terms of their functions, they have a reverse effect on the super wind. When the
wind is styled by the cells in the first circle of the outer circle, it forms a stream. When the wind force is alone, the angle between the second circle of cells and the first circle will continue to divide it, and then the newly divided wind will collide with the adjacent wind force at a 60-degree angle... This kind of wind force The reduction is not high, but the accumulation level will become quite considerable after a circle.
If you draw this City 114 into a line and look at it, the wind blows from the left and officially enters the interior of City 114. Then, a strong wind belt, a strong wind belt, a strong wind belt, a moderate wind belt, a soft wind belt were formed in sequence, until finally it was reduced to a windless belt. Therefore, every time
we advance one cell deeper into City 114, the traces we leave behind will be less It's easy to clean up. Except... rain."
Jing Shuo pondered, "So the further we go in, the easier it is for traces to be preserved. And now that we haven't found any other traces, does that prove that no one went here? "
Maybe, of course it may be because it rained recently." Zhang Cishun said.
As he spoke, he gently rubbed his fingers on the building next to him.
As he moved, a thin layer of dust stained his fingertips.
"Shadow: Material: tempered glass, raw plastic iron, single-atom carbon coating...Yield strength: 1000MPa; Tensile strength: 1200MPa; Elongation 2%; Section shrinkage: 50%; Impact toughness: 50;... Super Insulation, super thermal conductivity..."
Some of the data in front of him were not outstanding, but several super properties caught Zhang Cishun's attention. Especially... super heat conductive.
"For a building, it doesn't matter if it doesn't have thermal insulation, it also needs to be super conductive..." Zhang Cishun narrowed his eyes, thinking.
The two-color aperture in Jing Shuo's eyes expanded, and his vision was covered with a layer of fluctuation called speed.
"There are many traces of life forms in the building... This is strange. There are no traces of life outside, but there are a considerable number of life forms in the hive cells... Are they just holding back and not moving inside? ? Where's the food? Where's the other supplies? Every cell can't be self-sufficient, right?" Jing Shuo said hesitantly.
Zhang Cishun withdrew his attention and glanced at Wen Yan, but the latter shrugged when he noticed Zhang Cishun's eyes sweeping over.
His eyes darkened, and he tapped his toes on the ground. After splashing a circle of dust, he led everyone back along the traces left when they came, and said: "But no matter what, Since we are all here, it doesn't make sense not to go in and take a look."
"The most important thing is that the garbage truck has left." Wen Yan added.
Yes, not long after they entered the city, the garbage truck outside the city had already set off. The convoys that came with the garbage trucks have all been disconnected from the garbage trucks. Some people in the convoy entered the city first, leaving only the other part of the people to deal with the vehicles and materials in the convoy.
——Click——
As Zhang Cishun placed his palm on the black screen of the honeycomb cell, a faint light lit up from the place where his palm contacted the black screen.
At this moment, a network fluctuation came from the upload, and Zhang Cishun easily intercepted and read it.
"Biometric identification is: human. Level 3 access! Allowed to pass!"
Lines lit up on the black screen, and then under the gaze of the five of them, the 'doors' framed by the lines formed small squares, and then like It spreads around like water.
"Let's go."
Zhang Cishun walked at the front.
Jing Shuo followed closely behind.
Wen Yan thought for a moment and decided to let Youyou and the others go in front of him, and he was the last one to go in.
When all five people entered, the door behind them began to close at an extremely fast speed.
This is a... not too wide corridor. There are glass mirrors on the left and right sides, and there are not too bright lights above the head. The current scene feels like a haunted house.
Their figures were reflected on the mirror, and then they were stacked one after another. It was impossible to see the end, and it was unclear how many of them there were.
Jing Yan looked extremely curious. Even though she was being pulled, she still leaned in front of the mirror and looked at herself in front of her. She made a face as she looked at more and more of herself in the mirror, and then giggled.
"Let's play together!"
Jing Yan said happily.
Then... Jing Shuo, who was walking in second place, suddenly stiffened, his eyes flashing with helplessness.
Just now, he calmed down the power storm from Jing Yan. Then he balled it up and stuffed it back into Jing Yan's body.
Zhang Cishun did not look back and slowed down by then.
Countless invisible nano-robots around him followed his footsteps, and he kept counting in his mind.
Count the steps you take and the distance you travel. Then based on the shape of the cells observed outside, analyze where you are currently.
Until the end, a circular space with no road.
Zhang Cishun withdrew his hand from the wall, walked in with a few people, and stood still.
This is an elevator, located in the center of the hive cell. There are no elevator buttons in conventional memory. Everything here is voice-activated.
"Go..." Zhang Cishun paused and said, "Go to the floor with the most people."
A light spot lit up above, and then the light spot spread in a ring. shape.
"Received, we are taking you to the bar on the 13th floor. Do you want me to introduce you to the facilities and entertainment items on the 13th floor in detail?" "
Tell me about it." Zhang Cishun replied.
"Okay..." the voice paused, and then said in a softer tone: "The Thirteenth Floor Bar is a place full of technology and creativity, where you can enjoy a good time. First of
all , you will enter a spacious and bright hall, with a large virtual image screen installed on the wall, playing all the music and art works included in City 114. You can choose to sit on the soft sofa, or enjoy a glass of wine in front of the bar. Style drinks.
If you don’t like crowded places, you can continue walking inside and you will enter a mysterious room filled with all kinds of wonderful devices and technological equipment. You can use gestures to Come and control the lights and music, or play games or watch movies on the interactive projection screen. We also have state-of-the-art virtual reality equipment in this room that will make you feel like you're in another world. If you get tired of this,
also You can rest in the temporary private lounge on this floor. We are equipped with the most advanced sleeping cabins and massage chairs, so that you can relax and enjoy a pleasant time while enjoying wine and food. Thirteenth
floor The bar will bring you an unprecedented experience and make you linger.
Welcome!"
It must be said that the time of this sound card is very accurate. When the sound introduction is completed, the number displayed above the head is exactly thirteen.
Door!
opened.
In the originally quiet small space, at the moment when the elevator door opened a gap, the noisy sound mixed with the music that could not be covered up rushed into the ears of the five people.
This scene was extremely impactful to the other four people except Zhang Cishun. This is something they have never experienced or seen in City No. 88...
"You have arrived, welcome."
Just as they were stunned, a series of words lit up around them, and after the words There's even a smiley emoticon.
"Let's go." Zhang Cishun shouted, and at the same time waved his hand in front of everyone's eyes.
This time, they looked back.
However, just as they were about to leave the elevator, Zhang Cishun suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that after the string of words that had just appeared disappeared, a symbol that was extremely familiar to him briefly appeared.
X!
