Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Underground Fortress

The one who is responsible for washing the dishes after a meal is always the one who eats the most.

Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Suoye squatted in the kitchen washing dishes.

In terms of language, Tang Xiaojiu's imagination exceeded Tang Xian's estimate, so much so that Tang Xian felt that he could publish a separate book called Quotations.

But in the learning of sign language, Tang Xiaojiu has an amazing talent.

In about half a month, Tang Xiaojiu was able to communicate with Tang Suoye.

I probably wanted to know what Tang Suoye was thinking.

Everyone in Baichuan City is Tang Xiaojiu's friend, but Tang Refrigerator and Tang Ga Squeak, as well as Tang Suoye, seem to Tang Xiaojiu to be the most compatible with him.

Of course, Tang Xian and Qing Jiuyu have to be ranked separately in a category.

Akasi and Tang Xian have never given up, about letting Tang Suoye speak again.

Qiao Shanshan also checked, but couldn't find anything wrong.

In addition, Yuanwu Akasi Tang Suoye has a deep hatred for the Evolution Zone-

Tang Xian had already put the matter of exterminating the Evolution Zone on the agenda.

However, where the real headquarters of the Evolution Zone is, even Yuanwu doesn't know.

As a top-notch test subject, Yuanwu's memory is often in a state of confusion.

Akasi and Yuanwu also get along well.

It's like having an extra brother worth protecting.

Both of them have the same hair color, and they are both the best qualified test subjects.

But Yuanwu has no memories of his own.

He just remembered one name.

To find the headquarters of the Evolution Zone, Tang Xian could only ask Xiao Zhe.

He and Lin Sen have a strong ability to obtain information, and now they are the lords of the pyramids, and they have a lot of resources.

Yu Xiaozhe is now walking with Tang Xian in the subway station, preparing to go to the underground fortress to find out.

When he saw the huge fortress gate, Yu Xiaozhe exclaimed:

"Ancient defense technology, how can it be of this level?" Yu Xiaozhe said.

Tang Xian walked in front to lead the way:

"In fact, if it weren't for that unknown catastrophe, perhaps after hundreds of years of human development, technology would not be much behind than in the pyramid."

"That's what you say...... It's possible. Yu Xiaozhe looked around curiously.

He held up his searchlight, barely able to see the buildings of the fortress in the dark underground.

The interior of the fortress is designed to resemble an ancient prison.

Each room is small, which is also to accommodate as many people as possible.

So some of the activity areas are public areas.

It's like a tower.

The first and second floors are residential areas, and the third floor is a public activity area, with shopping malls, sports halls, and dining places.

Then the fourth and fifth floors go to the residential area again, and the sixth floor is the public activity area.

As you can see from some of the signs on each floor, these levels are equivalent to the areas of the city.

It's a spiraling tower.

The closer you are to the center of the earth, the hotter it naturally gets. This is solved by the help of a refrigeration pump with a huge spiral structure.

Yu Xiaozhe was amazed by the ingenuity of the ancients in architectural design, and he said:

"It's similar to the design of the pyramids! Although it is not as good as the pyramid in terms of specifications and manufacturing, it is still a simplified version, and if it has been improved over the centuries, it may indeed be possible to create an underground pyramid. ”

"Yes, but humanity chose the pyramid that fell from the sky and abandoned their own design." Tang Xian said.

"That may not be the way to go. According to the information you left behind, the ground was full of mining creatures and machines suspected of being Knights of Judgment. Many cities were destroyed, and the pyramids gave shelter to humans, and once someone entered, the herd mentality would be magnified dozens of times when disaster struck. ”

Yu Xiaozhe can understand this betrayal.

Tang Xian nodded, what Yu Xiaozhe said made sense.

In such an environment, Jing Jian's argument may be unconvincing.

He led Yu Xiaozhe to the fifteenth floor.

Unlike the previous cycle of residential and active areas, the fifteenth to seventeenth floors are considered to be the core areas of the underground fortress.

Huge power generation facilities are inside.

When he saw that an entire floor of the area was full of power generation equipment, Yu Xiaozhe was once again amazed by the ingenious design of the ancients in the apocalyptic situation.

"This power station, in terms of form, is not as good as the mining equipment in the pyramid, but it is enough to provide electricity for the city, as long as it can be repaired and reused."

In ancient times, power generation was different from the mining power generation of the pyramids, and basically wind, water, nuclear, and solar energy could be used.

The huge power generation equipment under Baichuan City is more like an overlap of science and technology, representing the pinnacle of science and technology in that era.

"If the city had electricity, a lot of the information stored in the electronic devices would be usable, and although I don't know if those devices would still work, there should be some of them." Yu Xiaozhe said.

Tang Xian nodded and said:

"That's why I want you to find someone, the Holy Land Fortress has been pampered for many years, and there should always be some people who are good at academic research. These people, I need a hundred or so. ”

"So much? The flesh hurts. These people are the elite of the fortress. Yu Xiaozhe smiled bitterly.

"In fact, many people don't understand why knowledge can change fate, because they don't know that there seem to be many people in this world, but there are only about 0.5 out of 1,000 scientific practitioners.

However, 0.5 per 1,000 people have played a role in promoting the progress of the times by about 40% of the human race as a whole, and this proportion is still increasing, because the higher the technology in the current era, the higher the value of this group of people.

Ironically, 99 percent of the population was unaware of their role, and their salaries were not even comparable to those of some dramas in ancient times. ”

Yu Xiaozhe didn't quite understand what Tang Xian meant.

Tang Xian looked at the huge power generation equipment in the distance and continued:

"Pioneering is not the same as revival, revival is to replicate the success of predecessors, and the difficulty and realization period are far less than that of pioneering.

However, the proportion of demand for talents is far greater than that of development.

Just like in many strategy games, a race has a fixed tech tree.

And the human tech tree has been deserted, and these geniuses are useless in the pyramid. Because the existing tech trees all come from the pyramid itself.

So you keep them in the pyramid like those of ancient times who didn't recognize their worth. The technology that has been retained by human beings themselves is more suitable for the world of human beings. ”

Yu Xiaozhe still likes to listen to Tang Xian talk about these things, he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll give you as much as I want. Actually, you are quite right about one thing. Since mankind entered the pyramid, the level of science and technology has not made great progress.

All the high-tech we have acquired has been preserved in the pyramid for a long time. ”

When Yu Xiaozhe said this, he felt more and more that there was a taste of conspiracy theories.

唐康 says:

"There was an interesting movie in ancient times about a fat purple man who wiped out half of the life in the universe with a snap of his fingers.

At that time, some scholars in ancient times proposed that although it seemed that only half of the people were lost, it was assumed by some kind of coincidence that the losses were all scientific practitioners. But civilization can stand still for hundreds of years.

Because some technologies are only in the hands of a few geniuses, and these few geniuses can change the times.

The Great Catastrophe is such a snap of the fingers.

But another interpretation of it is that when humanity is about to enter the realm of God, God destroys the fruits of human intelligence. It's kind of funny. ”

"But there are no gods in this world, do they?" Yu Xiaozhe said.

"If there is, hopefully it's edible." Tang Xian shrugged.

……

……

After taking Yu Xiaozhe to visit the underground fortress, Yu Xiaozhe prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he went to see Song Que. Song Que still didn't wake up.

But the signs of life are becoming more and more stable, which also makes Yu Xiaozhe feel at ease.

Although I don't know what Song Que did, judging from Tang Xian's words, it should be an incredible thing.

Before leaving, Tang Xian asked Li Xiaoyu about his needs for talents.

So far, the city needs the most talents in those positions, and Li Xiaoyu is the most vocal.

She made a list of these and handed them to Yu Xiaozhe.

After Yu Xiaozhe got this list, he looked at it, and suddenly felt that the two women who were the most sticky and idle in the academy were quite strange.

One is like a fool, stupid to the extreme. The other is extremely smart.

The list lists almost all kinds of needs, disciplines, knowledge, and degrees of expertise. This also includes the ability to manufacture technology for transmission cracks.

Obviously, Li Xiaoyu has already calculated the Holy Land Fortress, and plans to "cooperate with the Holy Land Fortress" for a long time.

Yu Xiaozhe thought that it was not unreasonable for the thirty-nine fortresses to be able to walk on the top of more than two hundred fortresses.

At least Li Xiaoyu's talent is more than enough to manage a fortress.

After everything was explained clearly, Yu Xiaozhe left.

Li Xiaoyu was rarely idle today, so he and Tang Xian walked on the commercial street.

Along the way, passers-by nodded their heads from time to time.

Tang Xian, Li Xiaoyu, and Song Que, all three of them have won the respect of all the citizens of Baichuan City.

Of course, Akasi, Yuanwu, Tang Airplane, Qiao Shanshan, and so on.

The status of this small group in Baichuan City is remarkable.

Tang Xian doesn't like to be noticed by too many people, so he is also deliberately cultivating Li Xiaoyu to be the future leader of Baichuan City.

Li Xiaoyu and Tang Xian's steps were surprisingly consistent.

The two of them kept a distance of one position and walked towards the large library.

"I'm actually thinking, did you take me away because you had planned today's events for a long time?" Li Xiaoyu said.

"If you count some of the reasons directly as the whole cause, and then cause disputes, all of them are hooligans." Tang Xian said.

"Makes sense, but what are the other reasons?"

"You asked me to take you away."

"Then I beg you to let Qing Jiuyu leave. She clings to you whenever she has time. ”

"I'm sure Qing Jiuyu's favorability towards me hasn't reached the level of 100+ perverted, as a veteran of score control, I will macro-control the values."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Xian suddenly remembered that although he had explained part of his own talent and ability.

But no one knows what their talent stats are.

If you tell Li Xiaoyu that you can see the favorability......

Forget it, it's not worth trying.

Because most people have a very high opinion of themselves.

For the sake of the safety of these people, there is no need to tell Li Xiaoyu that talent data still has to be regarded as his only secret.

After confirming this, Tang Xian said:

"I thought that when you sent Dongran to monitor and protect me, you had a more correct understanding of the fact that there is a normal relationship between men and women."

"No, I'm just proving to you that I'm a big-hearted person, and it's not that I can't see you with other women."

Li Xiaoyu said seriously.

Tang Xian also responded seriously:

"We all know that in front of Dong Ran, Qiao Shanshan, and Qing Jiuyu, your 'broad-mindedness' can only be ranked in the children's group, and Tang Xiaojiu and Tang Suoye are at the same level.

In view of the genes of the fox clan, I think Xiao Jiu may slowly catch up with you in the next few years. But congratulations, at the moment, you're the broadest in the kids category. ”

Li Xiaoyu stopped at the moment, and her angry little face puffed up, but soon she was deflated again and said:

"I sent Winter Dye to follow you, and at that time I thought that you and I should be the wisest beings, and some of the needs were only due to the human reproductive instinct. At the same time, in order to change the impression that you think I am too cautious and possessive, I decided to give you some pots and bowls and so on. ”

Tang Xian understood the meaning of these pots and bowls, and said with a smile:

"Then you have no reason to reject Qing Jiuyu, although I don't have such thoughts about her."

"But I've changed." Li Xiaoyu said as a matter of course.

"If the purpose of the experiment is to make sure that you have the best interest in anyone, and you don't care about some of the things I did back then, then the experiment is over.

The conclusion of the experiment is that you have no interest in anyone, and since that is the case, I can't expect you to forgive me for some of the things I have done before.

The most important thing is that I also have self-examination, and I found that such experimental conclusions are the most acceptable. I still don't like other women getting too close to you, but I'm trying to restrain myself. At least they're all intact. ”

Li Xiaoyu felt that this was already worthy of praise.

Tang Xian looked at Li Xiaoyu's serious appearance and said with a smile:

This is not called restraint, this is the restraint that normal people should have. In addition, Qing Jiuyu's personality is like this, I am sure that she has a unique interest in provoking jealousy and jealousy in women, but please remember a basic rule. ”

"What law?"

"She doesn't know how to cook and doesn't have the opportunity to learn to cook."

The library arrived.

Tang Xian walked straight to the cooking related books area.

Li Xiaoyu followed behind, thinking about the basic rules that Tang Xian said, and his face was red.

She just followed Tang Xian, and when she came to the library, she didn't know what books to read.

I also came to the cooking area.

The bookshelves were full of cooking books, but she didn't know what to read, and when she helped Tang Xian, she did very simple things.

For example, scraping the scales of a fish. Usually Tang Xiaojiu is doing it, but after Li Xiaoyu came, Li Xiaoyu did it, and Tang Xian thought that this was compassion for the fish.

Tang Xiaojiu scraped the fish scales just like Ling Chi.

It's just that this home-cooked cookbook didn't last long - Suzuki came to the library.

Ling Yi panted and found Tang Xian, and said excitedly:

"Lord Tang Xian, Sister Xiaoyu, Brother Song Que has woken up."

Tang Xian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile:

"This is really unlucky for Yu Xiaozhe, he walked on the front foot, and Song Que woke up on the back foot."
