Chapter Twenty-Eight: High Technology
Hao Ren looked curiously at the small silver-white device in his hand, very excited and full of confusion at the same time.
It is a palm-sized device with a silvery-white metallic luster, but it does not look cold in the hand, and it feels warm to the touch, not quite like the metal material commonly found on earth. The small device is perfectly hexagonal, only a few centimeters thick at its thickest point, and a blue-white stream of light can be seen pulsating slowly on its surface, as if something alive was breathing. Hao Ren curiously rubbed the surface of this "metal plate", and the hexagonal area in the center of the latter immediately brightened, and then a hologram suddenly appeared in the air - startling him!
Hao Ren almost didn't throw out his first month's labor insurance, he pinched the metal plate, and looked at the hologram above the metal plate steadily: there was a blue cross-shaped emblem composed of four crystals slowly rotating on the image, the background of the emblem was a chaotic black, and under the projection was a line of Chinese characters: Time and Space Administration - EN35 Node - AZ655 World - General Purpose Number jù Terminal, the current operator has passed the guò permission certification, and the equipment is standby.
"Full Chinese interface, fool-style operation, novices can skillfully control," Raven 12345 raised a finger and pointed at the "number jù terminal" in Hao Ren's hand, attracting the latter's attention, "Here are your work instructions, there is an introduction to the Imperial Time and Space Administration, and the basic information of the Empire, in addition to the macro world, time and space channel, world gate code, authorization process, material distribution list, application support agreement, etc. You need to learn things, I explain these to you is really too troublesome, It's better to see for yourself. Take your time and write it down...... Well, you should have completed the first stage of the apprenticeship and then moved on to the second phase of the apprenticeship......"
Hao Ren was suddenly pessimistic about his future life: God is pitiful, he finally graduated from school, how can he return to his student days in a blink of an eye?!
"What is this? How should I use this thing? Hao Ren put aside the possible miserable study life in the future for a while, and pointed curiously to the blue cross emblem on the hologram, although he didn't know what it was, he felt that this must be of great significance—because this blue emblem can often be seen in the large bungalow of Raven 12345, and even on the bodies of some magical servants, he reached out and poked twice on the hologram, and as a result, his finger penetrated directly through the picture: it was not as he imagined, that he could touch the image to control zhì.
Raven 12345's expression became extremely strict for a moment, and this strict appearance even startled Hao Ren: he didn't dare to imagine that this abnormal "goddess" who was hanging Lang Lang had such a solemn moment, Raven 12345 stared at Hao Ren's eyes, as if he wanted to stab his thoughts directly into the latter's brain: "This is the Xiling military emblem, the symbol of the empire, the mark of the Xiling civilization, it represents the empire - you are a newcomer now, and you probably can't understand the meaning of this mark yet, You just have to remember that it means a lot, and throughout the void, there are countless races that survive under the protection of this emblem, and there are countless warriors who fight under the guidance of this military emblem. ”
Hao Ren listened stunned for a moment, and the raven patted his head when he saw this: "Hey, why did I tell you this so early." In short, you remember, no matter how dangerous the place is in the future, how complicated the situation is, as long as you see this emblem, you will see your family, understand? ”
Hao Ren understood this time, and nodded vigorously: "Then how should this be used?" ”
"Just put your hand on any edge, just think about it, it will automatically judge your confirmation instructions, and there will be no misoperation," Raven pointed to Hao Ren how to start the small device, "Of course, you may need to get used to it for a while at the beginning, after all, its reaction speed is very fast, and its intelligence is not much worse than yours, so it will automatically help you do something, you sometimes mistakenly think that you have made a mistake, but it's actually okay - oh, try to start the main system, and then tell it, you are a rookie." ”
Hao Ren stared at him and listened, and a sentence swirled in his mind: Eh, I'm going to this high-tech!
"Didn't you say that the Apostle of Xiling was a god, why did a god use such a high-tech thing...... Does God still go through the flow of technology? Hao Ren muttered as he was not very skilled at concentrating on communicating with the "metal plate" in his hand, and Raven 12345 answered his question: "Is there a difference between technology and magic?" The Xiling Divine Department has been developing two routes at the same time from the very beginning, and whatever is easy to use, it is a tool to control the present world, and if you throw this thing in your hand into the hands of other uncivilized civilizations, it is an artifact. But then again, I'm really not very good at this kind of tech-based product, and I prefer mysterious creations - unfortunately you can't use them. ”
Hao Ren didn't care to listen to what Raven 12345 said, because he had successfully activated that little number jù terminal!
The holographic projection is rapidly refreshed with a series of images, which look chaotic, but Hao Ren does not have the slightest feeling of being unable to keep up with the rhythm or incomprehensible: the refresh speed and switching method of these pictures perfectly match his comprehension, it seems that this number terminal can scan the human brain, and then push new information according to the real-time working state of the brain, Hao Ren's eyes are rapidly wandering on the hologram, the most important information he needs is always in the center of his field of vision, and whenever he wants to know something new, He doesn't even have to deliberately give instructions, the picture on the hologram will switch with it, so that he can always get new information in the most efficient way for him. At first, Hao Ren thought that he might not be able to control such advanced equipment, but he soon realized one thing: for a civilization strong enough to move sideways in the multiverse, it would not be a problem to make a simple and easy-to-use gadget, just as humans can build a feeding machine that even chimpanzees and pet dogs can use—the technology is perfected, and the more simple it is to use, the more complex things will be encapsulated in places that the user can't see.
To take a simple example, Hao Ren was sure that if he took apart the small device in his hand, then probably no one on the earth would be able to put it up......
"This ...... What does it mean to request support? Hao Ren suddenly saw a word that people were very concerned about in a series of rapidly refreshed materials, and without any instructions from him, this entry that aroused his curiosity automatically stopped in the center of his field of vision, and then a large number of pictures and video information appeared on the hologram: all kinds of images that looked like weapons and equipment, soldiers lined up, and charts that he couldn't understand for the time being, neatly listed in front of him, but all of the above things were gray.
"You think the Inquisitor is a lone ranger? Normally, just take care of the anomalous creatures that eat at home, even if they do all the work? Raven 12345 shrugged, "You'll know when you're turned right, the work that the censor usually has to deal with is complicated, what if I send you to Centauri to quell the rebellion now?" What if you are sent to the Scorpiontail Nebula for military mediation? This is where requests for support and armed agreements come in handy, and you can choose these things when you're about to be killed - of course, they all require their own clearances, which require a variety of rigorous assessments. We can't hand over murderous things to a recruits with a weak mind, even though they are still basically harmless civilian goods in our eyes...... Well, it's almost enough to throw civilian supplies on your planet for four or five ice ages. ”
Hao Ren listened to a cold sweat, although he hadn't had time to finish reading the two texts "Instructions for Censors" and "Outline of the Work of the Time and Space Administration", he heard something very unbelievable from Raven 12345's words...... This job seems to be deadly!
Hao Ren opened his mouth: "I ...... now"
"You can't resign," Raven 12345 smiled, "You just die, your soul is also hanging in the old lady's attendance sheet, you have to continue to work if you change your body, how difficult it is for the old lady to recruit a new employee, and you still want to run?" ”
Hao Ren: "......"
"Don't look like that," Raven 12345 teleported to Hao Ren's side in an instant, startling the latter and patting him on the shoulder, "I never bluff people, and you'll soon know that this is an opportunity that ordinary people can't ask for—as long as you don't die, you can basically live to ...... Well, it's been a long time anyway, after all, the censor is not a military officer, how can there be so many big battles for you assistant policemen to go on all day. ”
Hao Ren wanted to speak several times, but was choked back by this white-haired witch with a lot of aura, and in the end he could only tug the corners of his mouth and stuff the number of terminals into his pocket: there are too many things to see, and it is obviously unrealistic to look at them here, so he decided to study them slowly after returning home.
"Then let's talk about that nightmare," Hao Ren resigned himself to the chair, "I think you have something to hide from me - I'm honest, but that doesn't mean you can be bullied casually, you can at least tell me more, and I'll go back to sleep peacefully." ”
Raven 12345 glanced at Hao Ren, and finally sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are also a tough temper, then I will pick up what I can say and tell you." ”
