Chapter Ninety-Two: Skyscrapers
Even if there are all kinds of dangerous ambushes hidden in the building, everyone doesn't care about this and that, and they climb up knowing that the dangerous peaks are there, but if there is really an elevator here, they don't have to bother their legs.
"I'm really tired, let's rest for a while, I'm really afraid that I haven't met Ricky yet, so I'll hang up first!"
There had been several breaks on the way, but Marta begged to stop first. But also, everyone walked around in this building, but there was no trace of convenient facilities such as elevators.
Although, many times, Xiao An doesn't want to take the elevator, but now he follows everyone, he has to serve the public, he has to be gregarious, and this building is really high, and I don't know if he can climb to the top before dark.
Well, if it is really at night, it should be extremely pleasant to climb to the top of the building and look at the endless night in the hinterland of Antarctica.
However, with everyone's current strength, I'm afraid they won't be able to reach it before dark.
"Well, if it doesn't work, let's go down first, don't we just want to see the whole neighborhood? When will it not work? Lao Bai seemed to be targeting his wife, "I think so, let's go down first, anyway, we can't find the elevator, just climb, I don't know how long it will take to climb to the top." Why don't we go back to the surface, isn't there a forest outside? Then there must be dirt and moisture. As long as we have these, we can settle down here first and grow some food and vegetables. As long as we can survive here, as for this building, when will we not come? ”
Lao Bai's words are not unreasonable, everyone is here to explore, not to play with their lives, the primary purpose of this trip is to survive, and the second is to engage in various research. It's silly for a group of people to waste so much time and energy doing something like a tour group right now.
After listening to this, no one disagreed, after all, it is more reliable to survive and take root here than the temptation of the beautiful scenery on the rooftop.
So everyone happily went back.
But at this moment. Just listen to the "ding" sound, as if something is open. When everyone looked, there was a hidden person on the wall of one side of the corridor, and I don't know who accidentally touched some mechanism on the wall. When the hidden door opened, it turned out to be a small room like an elevator.
"Elevators? Is this an elevator? How can it be with the stairs? How is this designed? ”
Everyone looked stupid, and when they woke up, they were all amazed.
"Shall we go up or down, then?"
Questions were posed, and votes were invited by a show of hands. Outcome. All agreed, go up.
But after entering, everyone found out that they had committed two more crimes, and they had never been here, so how could they dare to enter so rashly? This elevator is indeed no different from an ordinary elevator from the outside, but when the door closes after entering, I realize that there is no button for Omega, his father's fruit basket! So how can we choose whether to go up or down?
But it's useless to regret it, I can only resign myself to fate, hoping that God won't make too serious jokes with everyone.
The elevator is not operated by any one of them. It seems to be starting anyway, and by feeling, it seems to be going up.
How many floors will it stop? He didn't consult with us, but went to work on his own.
Everyone was nervous.
Fortunately, the speed of the elevator is quite powerful, everyone took a short time, the door opened again, or in the corridor, everyone quickly ran out. Look downstairs and be scared! It really looks like it's been up many floors, looking down from the top. The handrails of the stairs are really dizzying.
"Alright, let's go find the exit to the rooftop now! Didn't you want to see the whole place for a long time? Lao Bai beckoned to everyone, "As for the use of this elevator." When we get to the rooftop, we can still think about it, now let's go and enjoy the scenery here! ”
Well, it seems that there is only so much for now, there is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is worried about tomorrow, anyway, I can't think of the secret of the elevator for a while. Then try to make yourself happy.
The crowd turned their attention to the rooftop.
Fortunately, the search for the rooftop did not make everyone too strenuous, and the stairs reached the top, which was no different from ordinary buildings on earth. It seems that many things on the earth are similar, but this elevator is somewhat testing people at present, but don't be afraid, as long as the mind is calm enough, you will definitely find the answer.
"Wow, finally on top of this skyscraper!" Walking up the stairs to the rooftop, Keya excitedly opened her arms and cheered.
Oh yes, she didn't say it, I didn't think of it, it's still a skyscraper!
Xiao An also gradually walked over, came to the edge of the rooftop, and looked down, it turned out that there were really a lot of white clouds floating under his feet!
How many floors did it take, and how many bricks did it cost to build it in the first place? And how did the workers do it?
This question is not only curious about Xiao An, she has heard many people talking about it.
That's right, the owner here doesn't show up, so what's the matter?
Are they all on a collective holiday? Where have they been hiding? Knowing that someone is at home, you are not welcome to entertain it? If we are thieves, can we let us break in?
The layout here is also exquisite, with the simplicity of ordinary earthlings and the peculiar landscapes seen in the fairy's castle before. Xiao An saw a hammock nearby, so he walked over and lay down, thinking intently about her questions.
"Xiaoyou, where is this? Do you have anyone you can see? While everyone was enjoying the visit elsewhere, Xiao An hurriedly whispered to his sister.
"The location is right, it's the hinterland of Antarctica that you are talking about, and that's what I saw. It's just that there is no one here, which is indeed very strange! Xiaoyou replied.
"What! You can't even see it! Xiao An was a little scared and a little incredulous, and sat up from the hammock.
"Yes, yes! Don't act so big, you'll be noticed by others! Xiao You saw that her sister was excited for a while, so why did she press her back again, "That's right, this is very mysterious, we should be vigilant at all times, but there is no need to scare ourselves to death like this." Actually, I also have a headache, why can't I even see a ghost, where have they gone? There can't be no one here. You think, if there were no people, first of all, there would not be so many well-established and well-organized buildings and landscaping belts, and besides, every single place was spotless, it means that it should be cleaned regularly. It can't be that they have developed a labor tool that doesn't have to worry about the hygiene of the house for a few days without going home, right? If that's the case. Then our opponents will be even more difficult to deal with. If they really are our opponents! ”
Where else is needed, absolutely sure!
Xiao An thinks that a place can be built so well. I'm afraid it can't just be done by relying on the kindness and hard work of the locals. Bacheng has also been doing aggression and plundering for many years, and then when everything has stopped, he began to pretend to be a justice of the peace again.
This is the law of nature, and it has always been the strong who stay and the weak who go extinct. There is no reason for it.
In the face of the laws of nature, even God can only open and close his eyes.
"Could it be that they all went on vacation? Or where did they all go for meetings? But even so, there must be a left-behind elderly or child at home to come to the house, right? Xiao An thought that there should still be locals in this vicinity, but everyone didn't notice it.
"Well, it's not impossible for you to say that." Xiao You nodded, pondered for a while, and continued, "It may be that there are indeed only a few places where we walk, maybe we will go further." You'll be able to meet a few locals. It's just that I don't know what language the people here speak, and I don't know if they can communicate with us! ”
Eh, by the way, as long as everyone can communicate, everything is easy to say. This person, in fact, is most afraid of communication, as long as the words are spoken, then any misunderstanding and troubles can be resolved. Unless, it's really that kind of super die-hard. Or the insatiable and cunning hypocrisy, no amount of sincerity will help them.
"Xiao An, the scenery here is so good, why don't you take a good look. What are you doing lying here? When Hans saw that she was still lying lazily, he came to her and asked.
"Am I not recuperating? Who knows what will happen in a moment? When the time comes, I don't want to be sick and sick and bother others to take care of me! Xiao An reluctantly sat up from the hammock, in fact, laziness was on the one hand, and there was also worry about the dangers that had not yet appeared in this place.
Optimism, of course, is there. She also admits that she brought it up herself. But caution must also be maintained. You can't scare yourself, and you can't wait for death stupidly.
The world isn't that bad, but there's also a free paradise.
Just like this place now, it is so beautiful, but there is no master to control it, is it given to everyone for nothing?
If this is the case, then dare to be kind, as long as you master the geographical environment of this area and the use of many new things, then you can bring more people here and enjoy the benefits made by everyone in Antarctica?
"You're right, I've thought about all of that." Hans crouched beside her hammock and looked at her and said, "But I also thought that human life is actually only a few decades, and no matter how hard we try, we will eventually leave this world when the time comes." It's just that among them, some people will be willing, and some people will be unwilling. So which one will you be? Anyway, I hope that no matter what kind of scene I encounter, I hope that at the last moment of my life, when I look back on my life, I will not regret every choice I made! ”
Yes, even if everyone can get out of Antarctica smoothly this time and reunite with everyone, it is impossible to avoid all kinds of dangers that will occur in life in the future. As long as there are human beings, there is no immortality, which is also a law of nature.
Otherwise, it is not easy to talk about the backup of children and grandchildren. At that point, you'll have to rely on a computer or higher-end equipment to sort out this messy relationship. Unless, everybody at that time also had some mathematical ability.
Or, as life spans extend, the current affairs of humanity will also be relegated? For example, in ancient times, people couldn't even live to be twenty years old, and being able to have a sixteen or seventeen years old is already a high lifespan, but now? At this age, they are still minors, and the form of the flower bones has not yet been formed, if nothing else, the natural lifespan is also greatly extended. And after that, I wonder if scientists will develop a way to make human beings live longer, so as to get closer to the asuras and gods. Just like I once read in a certain book, it seems that a certain queen of Asura, pregnant with a baby of 8,000 years, gave birth to a princess, and how many years have passed, and she has grown into a peerless beauty.
So, in the next few years, will humanity be like this?
Of course, it is not necessary to be pregnant for so long, it is also a burden for women, and it is not necessarily that someone will insist on treating themselves as bodhisattvas for so long. As long as you can have that long life. Then you will have time and opportunity to do a lot of things, and you can also realize more dreams.
However, from another point of view, this "8,000-year-old" should not be unreasonable. If everyone lives a long life. And human beings had a very short reproductive time at that time, wouldn't it have become a rat infestation? Oh, it's disgusting to think about, don't give this example. But I also learned one thing from it, that is, there is actually a law between the life span of a person and what a person has to do in this life. The longer the lifespan, the more things you naturally have to do. An obvious example, in order to have more time to better pursue their dreams, modern women often postpone the time of their childbearing, of course, there are pacesetters who can coordinate well in all aspects, such people can always complete everything in time within the specified time. And it is precisely because of this kind of person that the development of society is promoted faster, so that those who are running behind continue to catch up.
"Xiao An, what do you think, you've been thinking about it for so long?"
Look at her in a daze. Hans asked her.
"I'm wondering, if people's life spans are extended indefinitely, will many people's troubles also increase? For example, some people have been waiting for some people to grow old, but these people are not old, so their wishes will not be fulfilled in time. There are also those criminals who have been sentenced to serve thousands of years in prison, which now sounds like a fantasy, maybe there will be such a thing in the future, maybe they really want to enjoy prison life to the fullest! What's more, I was worried about it all the time. If people's life expectancy becomes longer, but the childbearing time is still the same as now, then if there is no accident in everyone's life, how many generations of family members will they meet? So. I think the timing of those myths is very reasonable and completely logical. Otherwise, with such a small earth, the population is constantly surging, but the mortality rate is not decreasing, so wouldn't it have to explode? Xiao An crackled and elaborated on a lot of whimsical opinions.
"Huh. It's really interesting that you're thinking about it, and I think I've seen it somewhere, saying that the lifespan of our human beings has been fluctuating all the time, and how many years ago, there used to be a long lifespan, and then because of this and that, it became like this. Probably, it will be shorter in the future, and after reaching that lowest value, it will slowly bounce back, and the age of human beings will grow back little by little! Hans smiled and told her.
"Right? You've heard of it too, right? So I'm thinking a little greedily now, it doesn't matter if we can't get out of the hinterland of Antarctica in time, as long as we master the method of longevity and improve the existing genes, then we will have a chance to reunite with our family and friends. It's just that even if we live well here and have mastered the recipe for immortality, if we can't get out of here, we still won't be able to see our families! I'm afraid that when we really get out of here, maybe our family and friends will be gone! ”
This is indeed a sad idea, and as soon as Xiao An finished speaking, Hans also felt a little uncomfortable. Auntie is such a relative as him. If he is no longer there, who will go to her grave in the future? Moreover, even if it is his biological mother who remarries all day long, it is very uncomfortable to think that she will never be able to see her again in the future.
"Okay, you're thinking a lot of fun, but don't sit here all the time, come and share your insights with your friends, maybe more unexpected sparks will collide! Besides, you've been sitting here for so long, don't you want to see what everyone is up to? ”
Hans urged himself to get up quickly, and Xiao An readily agreed, quietly walked behind him, and also pulled Xiao You.
"Wow, you've been drawing so much all this time?"
Xiao An saw that Keya really drew a lot of maps, at first, the crew members were excited to take pictures with their mobile phones and cameras, but after a short while, they were stopped by Keya, she was worried that everyone's equipment would run out of power for a while. Therefore, when the right power supply has not yet been found, every resource must be saved and used as planned. But the paper is different, the paper prepared by Keya is enough to be used here for a while, not to mention that before I came, I knew that Keya was also a stationery controller, and Xiao An also gave her a lot of Bamund's notebook, which really made Keya excited for a long time.
"Yes! I'm really high today! I didn't expect it to go so smoothly! "However, we really have to try to find a way to get out before it gets dark, and we also have to think about where we are going to sleep tonight!" Although I have drawn a lot of maps, it is only a topographic map of the surrounding area, and there are many places that we have not visited yet, and I can't guarantee where it is more suitable for everyone to live! ”
In fact, if the owner of this building did not break in in the middle of the night to evict everyone, then it would be very good to live here. Everyone has even been wronged in the cave, what else can be picky about such a good building? It's just that you don't quite understand the structure of the building, so
"Keya, how many have you already painted? If you want me to say, since you mentioned this, let's go and solve the problem of accommodation tonight! And where is the hidden door of this elevator, and how to use it, we have to solve it as soon as possible. However, if you can't find it for a while, you shouldn't be in a hurry. Xiao An said to everyone, "Let's think about it, the facilities here are very perfect, I believe that even if we can't get out of this floor tonight, but such a building, every floor should have a water supply, right?" As long as there is water, we can save the water we carry, and of course, maybe we don't have to worry about this problem in the future! ”
"You're saying we're going to stay here tonight?" Lao Bai looked at Xiao An, and his tone was slightly excited.
"Of course! You think, even if there is a master who comes to expel us, we are justified, and we have a reason to go all over the world! Since this place is already advanced to this level, I believe there should be various monitoring equipment, right? It's just that we haven't found out yet. What I want to say is that our whereabouts have been recorded, whether it is the eye of the sky or their electronic eye, but they all look at it, and when the time comes, they want to blame us for what we have done, that will not work! Because we've been here for so long, and we've destroyed everything! Xiao An continued.
That's right, this group of people has been in for a long time, and they don't have the slightest intention of harming this place, and if something is damaged, it should have been accidentally encountered, and it was definitely not deliberately destroyed. Who makes so many of the designs here different from the rest of the planet?
The ignorant are innocent, and they must not be scoundrels who inflict unwarranted sins on everyone.
So, it's good to have a good environment here, but you have to worry about whether there is some conspiracy lurking in ambush, so ah, if everyone really decides to stay here at night, no one will be able to do it.
Thinking of this, Xiao An added, "Theoretically, we can live here, and everyone is indeed too tired, and it is not realistic to continue to find a more suitable place to live." It's just that we must divide into several groups of people and take turns guarding everyone at night, so that even if there is any danger, everyone can detect it in time! ”
Xiao An's idea was unanimously agreed by everyone: "Okay, just do as you say!" That's a great solution! In a moment, let's go down and find a water source! I believe that even if it is an alien building here, the logic of this thinking should be the same, just like wearing shoes, you can't wear shoes first and then socks, right? ”
So everyone helped Keya pack up the drawing tools, and then returned to the top floor from the rooftop and began to look for a water room and a suitable place to live.
In fact, tents can be set up in every place here, and the temperature is also very suitable, neither cold nor hot, and there is no need to cover the cold quilt. However, since you have already entered the interior, why not consider more comfortable accommodation? After all, until now, no one has jumped out and asked everyone for accommodation.
So, where you don't have to worry about the cost of accommodation, why not do everything you can to find the best place to rest?
A group of people are busy and looking for the best place.
Sure enough, soon everyone found the water room, and like other parts of the earth, there are toilets and everything, but many of them are more than everyone imagined.
The next thing is to find out if there are any bedrooms where you can see the bed when you push the door.
After all, this building, if you look at it from the outside, you really can't tell whether it is a hotel or an office building.
None of us are the owners here, and who knows what the original designers thought? (To be continued.) )
