Chapter 019: Power Off
The mountain is always thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and the elevator exit at the highest point is not secluded, only about seventy or eighty meters deep into the interior of the mountain.
In the past, these tunnels and elevator shafts were used to house telecommunications base stations, but they have been recycled as waste since the relevant communication protocols have been abandoned.
The four of them came to the elevator door, which was built more than 300 years ago, and because it was rarely used, the elevator car was parked at the top floor at this time. Hong Ye took off the electronic token on the coffee table in the waiting room next to him and entered the door opening order, and the curved elevator door, which was still as bright as new, was smoothly and slowly retracted to both sides.
The car of this mountain elevator is a cylinder with a diameter of seven meters and is not equipped with counterweights. Designed to carry up to 20 tons, or 40 people, with an average speed of 6 meters per second, it is simply fast to fly.
The whole elevator is about 2,000 meters high, in order to ensure the safety of the occupants and facilitate the tourists to enjoy the corresponding height of the landscape and staggered into four sections and five floors, each section has at least more than 40 meters of height buffer spring, it ensures that even in the highest part of the chain cable collapse car occupants can be basically unharmed.
Hong Ye and they went to the third floor, which is also the central part of the entire mountaineering elevator system, and the office space of the scenic spot management committee of Emei in the old era was built in the belly of the mountain. It is most convenient to cut off the power supply to the top of the mountain relatively completely, and it is most convenient to control it from the distribution box here, otherwise no one can tell how many lines with different purposes have been laid on the top of the mountain in the hundreds of years, and where the switches are.
After a transfer to the elevator on the fourth floor, Lu Qian's electronic dragonfly also failed. Moreover, the entire elevator lighting system was completely in normal working condition, and the night vision provided by her personal terminal was useless, and Lu Qian was boringly clipped it to her arm at this time.
She glanced at the two men beside her. As he himself said, Li Dapeng is familiar with this place, and he doesn't see anything unusual at all, and he has been chatting with Hong Ye about some unnutritious words; However, Le Meng was a little sensitive and vigilant, and quickly looked back when she noticed Lu Qian's sideways movements.
Nodding meaninglessly at him, Lu Qian asked Hong Ye, "Do you usually take this elevator when you go up and down the mountain?" ”
"Hmm."
"It looks pretty well maintained, who's maintaining it?"
Hong Ye opened the elevator from the fourth floor to the third floor, and didn't look back: "It's a group of professional maintenance robots." The elevator is of good quality, and there are basically no problems, and there are two warehouses for replacement parts......"
As he spoke, he pointed to the direction of the warehouse through the wall as he entered the door: "But on the contrary, there are not a few robots left that can still move." Due to the large gap with today's technology, there is no place to repair the breakage, so you may have to find an antique restoration expert to try. ”
After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, and manipulated it on the control panel inside the elevator: "It's a rare opportunity, now let you experience the most beautiful scenery that old humans can see without sympathetic modules." ”
As he spoke, the cylindrical sides of the entire elevator lit up at the same time, with its curved dome and flat floor. With the feeling of weightlessness when the car descended, the four of them seemed to have separated from the world and crossed into the endless sea of stars in an instant, with countless stars up and down, left and right.
Immediately after that, the sea of stars kept retreating like a split wave, and countless galactic nebulae were rapidly enlarged in front of the eyes of the four of them, and were instantly forgotten and turned into dust, and the three new humans who could swim in many upper realms actually had the illusion of sailing too fast and standing unsteadily at this moment.
The sympathetic module can bring people a fake and real experience, enriching the user's spiritual life while also causing many problems. The frequent occurrence of tragedies caused by the confusion between the unreal and the real has forced the Federal Celestial and Human Administration to enact regulations that require the advanced world operators to take sufficient measures to ensure that the new humans can recognize the world as illusory.
These necessary safety measures undoubtedly undermine the immersive experience that new humans get through sympathetic mods. Now that they are in the real world, they feel such a dreamy scene in this elevator, and the impact on them is even greater than when they experience a similar scene with a sympathetic module, which really makes them can't help but be amazed.
Li Dapeng: "I've been here dozens of times, but it's the first time I've known that there is such a function." If you leave a few days earlier, maybe I will never see such a scene, this starry sky is wonderful! ”
Le Meng smacked her tongue, and she also felt her heart surge: "I didn't expect to leave the sympathetic module, but I can experience an unrestrained space walk, I can't believe that this is a device more than three hundred years ago, and the technology of the old era should not be underestimated......"
Hearing his praise, Hong Ye knew in his heart that it was just a visual impact and too much conflict with the old cognition, which made them temporarily make a wrong judgment. In fact, this simple surround screen and a moment of weightlessness and overweight are far from as good as they think at the moment, and there is a big gap between the experience of sympathetic modules, and they will know if they come a few more times.
The voices of several people were a little choppy to hear. Under this rapidly changing starry sky, the whole car flickered brightly and darkly, and the pupils of people's eyes could not help but expand and contract alternately, making people feel that their consciousness was also torn into separate fragments.
Hong Ye looked sideways at Lu Qian, a little strange why she didn't speak, but at this moment, the whole picture in the car had a new change. The footage of the receding image began to circle in an arc, accelerating away from the feet of the four people, making them feel as if they were in an invisible spaceship and were accelerating in the direction of their heads.
The speed became faster and faster, and the stars turned into streamers and fell down, faster and denser, and finally after being completely connected into a piece of white light, it was thrown out of view, and the elevator also slowed down and stopped on the third floor.
Lu Qian withdrew her hands on the wall and looked at the three men quietly: "No one seems to have noticed, maybe they were also frightened by this sudden change in the picture." ”
On the third floor, the exit is quite far from the elevator shaft, about a little over three miles away. Hong Ye walked out of the elevator door and pointed to the two-wheeled motorcycle lying next to him, and casually explained to the three of them: "I put this planetary electric motorcycle here, and I can save a lot of time by entering and exiting the elevator tunnel, but because of being an old human, I can't drive it outside the reserve." ”
Le Meng pointed at him: "Even if you are a new human, it won't work, this car has no automatic driving system, and the safety is too low, so it has long been not allowed on the road." ”
"I see." Hong Ye was a little curious as to why he seemed to have seen someone riding this thing around in his impression, but he didn't delve into it, because it was not far from the elevator to the distribution box.
"Turn off all the ...... floors on the 5F floor" Hong Ye took out the electronic token in the power distribution room to open the security door, and while finding the switches marked with the beginning of 5F in several distribution boxes, disconnecting them all, he asked Lu Qian: "Does the power supply of the elevator need to be turned off?" You can close the 4-5 floors separately, but we'll have to go up from the 4th floor later. ”
Lu Qian thought about it for a while, although the power supply of the elevator system was not too worried about Dr. Qing Shui stealing it, but it would always be right to seek stability in everything, so she said to Hong Ye: "Turn it off." ”
Probably because there are too few juniors of the new human race, Li Dapeng likes to pat Hong Ye's shoulder very much, and said while patting: "You don't have to copy your heart when you go back, how do you think my uncle and I got up?" ”
Closing the distribution box with a "snap", Hong Ye smelled the smell of the protective agent on his hands, and wrinkled his nose with some disgust.
Le Meng: "That's it?" ”
Hong Ye waved his hand: "Qi is alive, go back, it's that simple." ”
Originally, it was something that he could do by himself, and Le Meng and Lu Qian were probably not worried about him, or maybe they did not rule out the possibility of Dr. Qing Shui having some unexpected means, but the difficulty of the matter has always remained the same.
