When you come out of Alice's house, you can see a starry night sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that it is night now, Lu Ze thought to himself.

"It's beautiful." Lu Li couldn't help but say.

"yes." Lu Ze also sighed.

Such a beautiful and pure starry sky would never have been seen on Earth a hundred years ago.

No, even the earth of this era is impossible to see.

This is because it is not really the night sky, but an image taken from space projected on the canopy.

After living in Alice's house for two months, Lu Ze didn't do anything except learn the language, he also went to Alice's house outside when he was resting, and checked the information through the Star Spirit Network, and also knew what kind of place this was.

――This is the 17th floor of the Underground Research Center of the Regeneration Group, which is 1,200 meters deep from the surface.

Of course, in this day and age, the Regeneration Group did not conduct any shady research, and there was no need to secretly build the research center underground. However, after all, the Regeneration Group was already the world's largest technology group that surpassed other countries in many fields of technology a hundred years ago, and this underground research center also existed at that time.

When Lu Ze entered hibernation, his body was preserved here.

After Lu Ze's hibernation, the regeneration group predicted the outbreak of the crisis economy in advance, and then predicted the trend of deterioration of the surface environment in advance after the emergence of the earth's neural network, so this underground research center was expanded several times one after another, and finally reached the scale of a city.

Since then, it has become more than just a research center, almost all of the researchers of the Regeneration Group and their relatives have lived in this underground city, which continues to this day.

Today, the underground city has become an icon of the Regeneration Group.

It is a huge inverted pyramid-shaped space, divided into eighteen floors, and the further down you go, the smaller the area of each floor.

The larger space on the upper nine floors is the living and entertainment area, and the lower nine floors are the research area.

The seventeenth floor, the penultimate floor, is about 40,000 square meters and 60 meters high, and there are a total of eight laboratories, including Alice's laboratory, all of which are conducting cutting-edge research in the field of human biology.

Among them is the project that Yang Hai once talked about using biotechnology to achieve physical equality between people.

It also includes a "reverse transcription nanobot project" that studies how to modify adult genes directly instead of embryonic genes to make all humans evolve and even immortalize.

It can be said that if any of the projects here are successfully studied, they will not be less significant to human civilization than Alice's neural upload technology.

However, although none of these projects carried out brutal human experiments on living people, and there were no unsightly places, they still involved some ethical issues, so they were arranged to conduct experiments on the penultimate floor of the underground research center.

As for the eighteenth floor at the bottom, it is said that no one else has been there except Yang Hai, so what exactly is in the eighteenth layer has always been a mystery.

Even, it is rumored that the eighteenth layer is connected to another world.

In this regard, Lu Ze could only say hehe.

Coming out of Alice's house, Lu Ze wanted to look up to the sky and howl, but after thinking about what kind of place it was, he still held back.

Although he knew that the sound insulation effect of these laboratories must be excellent, even if he shouted loudly, the sound would not be able to penetrate. But he also knew that not everyone had made the lab their home like Alice and had been away for years, and that the vast majority of researchers had to return to their homes on the ninth floor every day. At the same time, those researchers occasionally go outside the lab to rest and relax.

It would be a great sin if he howled out and interrupted someone else's crucial train of thought.

So where to go now?

Lu Ze suddenly became confused.

When it was finally time to set off on his dream journey, he didn't know where to go for a while.

No matter how nice he said and how brave he was in front of others, after all, he came to this completely strange future world alone, how could he not be a little confused?

And there is another difference between this era and the past society, that is, no one works in the service industry.

After all, this is an era of great material abundance, everyone is free to pursue their dreams, and who wants to serve others?

This also means that after leaving Alice's house, Lu Ze can only rely on himself. And he can say nothing now except for a suit of clothes, although this era does not need money, no matter what, you can directly ask Xingling Network for help, but Lu Ze has not fully adapted to this change, so he is not used to it.

Lu Li knew the hesitation in Lu Ze's heart, so he said, "Lu Ze, where do you want to go the most?" I'll help you with your plans. ”

Looking at Lu Li beside him, Lu Ze couldn't help but smile.

He suddenly felt a sense of happiness that Alice had conducted a neural upload experiment with him, so that at least he was no longer alone.

Lu Ze looked at the quantum black box in his hand again, and his consciousness communicated with the Star Spirit Network, allowing the Star Spirit Network to control the clothes composed of the wisdom fibers on his body to separate into a pocket that could just fit into the quantum black box, and after he put the quantum black box in, the wisdom fibers were immediately automatically sewn together.

That way, you don't have to worry about losing it.

Then Lu Ze seriously thought about Lu Li's question.

Looking at the starry sky projected on the canopy, Lu Ze's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Although there are many places I want to go, if I want to say the place I want to go to the most, it is really space!" ”

Lu Li immediately said happily: "Great, what I want to go to the most is space." It's really a hero, it's the same haha. ”

Lu Ze was a little speechless, they were just one person, isn't it normal to want to go to the same place?

Lu Li said again: "In that case, then let's take the central elevator to the airport, and then take a plane directly to the base station of the space elevator." ”

In fact, there are steps leading to the ground on all sides of the underground city, and it is not necessary to take the elevator, but this is 1200 meters deep underground, and climbing the steps from here to the ground is basically equivalent to climbing Mount Tai.

Lu Ze once went to the steps to see it, and the steps went straight up along the edge of the inverted pyramid, and there was no end in sight. Although many of the residents on the ninth floor regard climbing the stairs as fitness, Lu Ze obviously has no idea of asking for hardship.

The two of them walked towards the elevator in the center of the underground city.

Although it is deep underground, there is the starlight from the canopy, and the walls of all the buildings are emitting a faint light, so it is not dark, and with the plants dotted around, it is full of a peaceful atmosphere, and people can walk here and relax.

The seventeenth basement floor is not big, the side length is only 200 meters, although Alice's laboratory is in the corner, and the distance to the central elevator is only about 100 meters, and it is already night, so there is no one else on the way, and the two quickly arrived in front of the central elevator.

The elevator in the center of the underground city looks similar to the sightseeing elevator in the past, the same small room, but it is transparent on all sides, there are no counterweights, and there are no cables, but there are four vertical upward guide rails at the four corners of the elevator, which is a maglev elevator.

There is a row of chairs on the left and right sides of the elevator, and when Lu Ze sits on it, he suddenly feels that the clothes behind him are tight, but the wisdom fibers on the clothes are automatically adsorbed on the chairs and play the role of seat belts.

And Lu Li sat opposite Lu Ze, she didn't have a physical existence, of course, she didn't have to worry about security, it was like sitting on an ordinary chair in synchronous reality.

Then the elevator began to move upwards.

Since this is a maglev elevator, the elevator car has no physical contact with the four tracks, except for the increase in gravitational acceleration, the whole ascent process is extremely smooth, no shaking is felt at all, and there is no noise.

Lu Ze looked out of the elevator and found that the higher the number of floors, the more rails outside the elevator, and soon, the elevator he was in was surrounded by guide rails in all directions, and occasionally he could see elevators running fast in other guide rails, and there was no ground outside the elevator where they were located, looking down as if it was a bottomless abyss, hundreds of tracks extended out of the abyss in this way, extending towards the top where there was no end in sight.

At first, Lu Ze was still wondering how the elevator would stop, but soon he found that the maglev elevator could move horizontally between the tracks in addition to vertical movement. The outermost rails next to the ground are used to stop the elevator.

The speed of the elevator has stabilized when it is on the fourteenth floor underground, Lu Ze counted it in his heart, at this time, the time for the elevator to pass through each floor is about 3 seconds, and the height of each floor is 60 meters, plus the compartment is 72 meters, which means that the speed of the elevator has reached 24 meters per second.

In total, in less than a minute and a half, the elevator passed through a height of more than a thousand meters and took Lu Ze to the first floor of the underground city.

However, at this time, the elevator did not stop, but entered a horizontal track, taking them through the first floor.

The area of the basement floor is about 4.4 square kilometers, although the area is not large, but the use of space is very sufficient, a total of eighteen huge buildings are connected to the canopy above, like the trunks of eighteen large trees, and each of these eighteen buildings has dozens of branches extending out, or connected to each other, or jointly supporting a platform in mid-air, of course, including a series of cross-vertical and horizontal electromagnetic tracks.

The elevator slid through the branches, and finally led the two into a tunnel on the edge of the underground city, and then began to accelerate.

Lu Ze reacted slowly, it turned out that what they were riding was not an elevator at all, but a personalized maglev train.

Imagine an elevator that was once only used to go up and down floors can now take people to any corner of the world, and the top speed of this "elevator" is even comparable to that of an airplane, and it does not need to be controlled by a human.

In comparison, the various future vehicles that people imagined in the past, such as flying cars and personal aircraft, are simply weak.

This is the ultimate design that really takes into account for everyone!

This is the greatest era of mankind!

Feeling the acceleration of the "elevator" that made him cling to the back of the chair, Lu Ze couldn't help but feel excited.
