Chapter 19: Punk
"This is the workshop that belongs to our Reaper team, and the people here are all family members or friends of the Reaper team, and we don't lack technical talents, but we lack the kind that can come up with high-tech!" Su Qing said to Meng Xingchen beside him.
"Don't you have prophets?" Meng Xingchen didn't seem to see those mysterious prophets along the way. Not even seen in the core area of the middle layer.
Su Qing came to a large disc instrument, put Meng Xingchen's AI into the instrument, and then kept typing on the operating keyboard, replying as he entered: "We don't have a prophet in the Abyss Shelter, we call the chief technician!" The Prophet you are referring to is the name of other shelters, those that rely less on technology and more on runic technology, such as Vault Zero. However, to become a chief technician, it is not enough to propose a advanced technology, the first is quantity, and our abyss shelter stipulates the theory of three mentions and two realizations. That is to say, after the three advanced theories are proposed, two of them must be realized to be called the chief technician, and the prophet is similar to our side, but the lineage of each shelter is different, if you are interested, I can tell you, in exchange, you also have to show your sincerity. ”
Meng Xingchen nodded with a smile and said, "No problem!" ”
"It's strange, your AI hardware is fine, and the core is not damaged, but it just doesn't respond, and the information in it is all garbled!" Su Qing said after checking Meng Xingchen's AI.
"That's why I said it's broken. I can't do it myself, so I think I'll have to wait for it to get better! Meng Xingchen looked at the results of the examination, which were basically similar to what he expected.
Su Qing looked at this AI that was similar to a brick, and then asked, "What the hell did you do with this AI?" ”
"I don't know the specific situation, it seems to have been invaded by a strong current attack, of course it is not a strong current, it is similar to some fluctuating nature." Meng Xingchen replied.
"You don't seem to care about your AI going down!" Su Qing said with some doubts.
Meng Xingchen knew that she would definitely have some doubts, so he asked, "Do you know why I was removed from the consortium and exiled forever?" ”
Su Qing shook her head and said that she didn't know, this was what she had always wanted to ask, but this belonged to Meng Xingchen's privacy, and there was no conflict of interest with the rebels, so she never asked.
"It's because I refuse to upgrade the AI, and as you know, once you upgrade the AI, that voice disappears." Meng Xingchen explained slowly.
"Sure enough, it's because of this!" Su Qing seemed to have gotten a question from Meng Xingchen that had been bothering him.
Su Qing took out his AI, which was a pendant that looked a bit like a sickle, and it was hung on his chest by Su Qing as a necklace: "No wonder I think its upgraded ability has been improved, but it seems to be missing something, is this the reason?" ”
"The capabilities of each AI are different, although I don't know how the AI on your side is differentiated, but the people on the moon divide AI into three categories, the first is the AI of those predecessors before the apocalypse, the main function of this kind of AI is to strengthen the life characteristics of these people, so that they can live longer, and these AIs need to be rechecked once a year, and they do not need to be upgraded; The second category is people like us who were born after the apocalypse and then lived on the moon on the home planet, these AIs are produced from the production line of the shelter, with some characteristics of the shelter, but after the moon landing, they need to be upgraded twice, and it is mandatory, every legal resident must upgrade before the age of 20, otherwise they will be deprived of the right to live on the moon and exiled permanently; The third category is newborns born on the moon, whose AI has its own ability to upgrade and evolve, and is more powerful than the previous two generations. Meng Xingchen explained.
"Most of us here have AI, but there are also some newborns who are not qualified to be equipped with AI, after all, we have limited resources, the number of newborns is increasing year by year, and the resources equipped with AI are also tight. However, we will use this bracelet as an auxiliary learning tool instead of AI, as long as people who are at least 13 years old will be given a chance to receive AI after meeting certain conditions. It's just that you only have one chance to become one lucky person a year! Su Qing exchanged information on his side.
"Lucky one? I think those who don't have AI are really lucky! Meng Xingchen said to himself.
Su Qing finally returned the AI to Meng Xingchen, then sat on a metal platform and said, "How is it?" Have you figured out what kind of information you're going to get? ”
Meng Xingchen looked at the young people working around him, it seemed that they were all intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the position of the two, and no one deliberately looked here, everyone was doing their own work.
So he asked, "I need information about the truth." ”
After Su Qing knew his purpose, he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, Meng Xingchen was not the only one who pursued the truth of the apocalypse, and there were also some people like Meng Xingchen in the rebel camp, who believed that the truth of the apocalypse was not a natural disaster, but some other reason. Although there is no specific basis, many people explain the possibility of this speculation from the side, such as the blowout development of technology, such as the intelligence of AI has reached a terrible level, and then some prophetic predictions and rune technology, etc.
"My AI was upgraded a year and a half ago, and I did hear a certain voice in my dream before that, as you said, some knowledge was said by that voice, but I only got some knowledge about the casting method of the Reaper's Scythe and some relatively new scientific knowledge, but that knowledge doesn't seem to be high-tech compared to the technology of your consortium." Su Qing told Meng Xingchen about her experience, and there was nothing secret about it, after all, some people were very similar to her experience, but the knowledge gained was not commendable.
Meng Xingchen knew that Su Qing was the same as many people born on the day of the apocalypse, and even had the same experience, and Nina had that experience, but in the end she chose the family arrangement.
"That's not what I want, are you more valuable?"
Su Qing shook his head and said, "There were two people like me before, but unfortunately they died in the survival competition. ”
Survival Match!
Maybe it's a breakthrough! Meng Xingchen was reminded by Su Qing's words, and thought of his secret training again, so he asked, "Can you tell me about the survival game?" ”
"It's a core secret, do you think I'll tell you easily?" Su Qing knew that what Meng Xingchen wanted was an exchange of information, and if he didn't have equivalent information, it would be difficult for him to get useful scientific and technological knowledge.
Meng Xingchen expected that Su Qing would say this, after all, if he was only outstanding in force, he would not lead a team, so he smiled and said: "There is also a secret training on the other side of the moon, I think you have also heard of it, and I am the one who survived the secret training." ”
Of course, Su Qing knew about the secret training, and she had also investigated the specific situation of the secret training, but unfortunately all she got was some inconsequential external information, and there were no clues about the core content at all.
Is the secret training material the same as the survival match material? It's obviously equivalent, but there are really only a handful of things you can get your hands on, and survival games are one of the big chips.
The problem now is that if you change it, you won't have more bargaining chips, and the things you change are indeed equivalent, but it will not be of substantial help to the current shelter, and in the end she can only grit her teeth and say: "I don't need news of secret training, I want science and technology!" ”
Meng Xingchen looked at Su Qing's little grease stain on her chin because of work, she was only the same age as herself, it seemed that her competition had not experienced that long time turbulence experience, at least in her eyes, she couldn't see the vicissitudes of life that she would have when she looked in the mirror, she just put her personal interests behind, maybe this is the educational concept of human beings in the shelter.
After reaching out to wipe the oil stains on Su Qing's chin, Meng Xingchen said lightly: "I know what you're thinking, but the secret training and survival competition may be the key to finding the truth of the apocalypse, don't you really want to know?" ”
"The truth is attractive to me, after all, I was part of the search for the truth, but what if the truth is known? Can it change the status quo? Can it make life better for these people? Can I get a genetic potion? No! I just want fewer people around me to die! Let some children live with mom and dad, grandparents, and grandparents, less orphans, that's all! Su Qing seemed to be a little excited, but after saying that, she just smiled miserably, then picked up the instrument beside her and began to check it, it seemed that these were her jobs when she was not on a mission.
Meng Xingchen could feel that her words were from the bottom of her heart, if a girl like Su Qing was in the consortium, her brilliance should be no less than Nina.
Although the styles of the two are different, they are both powerful beauties. Being young and having ideals is exactly the focus of those who want to cultivate the older generation. It's not that the Alpha Consortium doesn't have fighters who are better than Nina, but if you combine your age, appearance, talent, and strength, Nina is the most suitable candidate.
Now that religion has collapsed, it is necessary to set a positive heroic example, and it is clear that Nina and several other role models have been quite successful, and among the younger generation, even the generation that is a teenager older than Nina, has raised their enthusiasm for work to a notch, and they are all striving to become the next legend.
After collecting his thoughts, Meng Xingchen looked around at the machinery around him, these machines were obviously from different eras, some models were obviously very old, and some were irregular modifications.
"Where do you want me to help you first? Production or life? Meng Xingchen looked around these machines and said to Su Qing beside him.
Su Qing stopped what he was doing, took off the gloves stained with engine oil, and asked, "What to change?" The inside scoop on the survival game? ”
"That's not in a hurry, I haven't thought about what to change for the time being, so I'll express some sincerity first, whether it's the production environment or the living environment here, you can improve a lot." Meng Xingchen was not moved by Su Qing's true feelings, a person like him who had experienced cruel secret training was basically rarely moved by external factors.
There is also a reason why he proposed to pay first, and the most practical reason is his authority. That's right, it's the color of the bracelet, the permission of the yellow bracelet is very limited, if it weren't for Su Qing's leadership, he himself would not be allowed to enter here, in addition to the permission of the activity location, there are also some Internet access permissions, just now he just took a cursory look, and many things he wanted to know were restricted by permission. This is the rule of the Abyss Shelter, you can't move an inch without permission! And in order to obtain higher authority, Meng Xingchen also has to show his due sincerity!
