2017, Yangcheng, 20 p.m.

As one of the few first-tier cities in the country, Yangcheng's night is not quiet, even more lively and prosperous than the day, the street lamps on the street, the colorful lights of the bar, and the LED lights of the high-rise buildings everywhere blend with each other, reflecting the night sky of the city with seven colors of dazzling, even brighter than the stars in the night sky.

But if someone can look down from the sky above Yangcheng, you will find that there is a dark area that is incompatible with it in the center of the bustling city, where it is silent, there is no human voice, and the surrounding bustle is like a dead place, if you look a little closer, you will find that in the dark area, neatly stand a wide factory, but those factories have a common feature, are only the basic frame structure, and even some factories have holes in the walls because of a long time of no care, This was originally a factory industrial area, but due to environmental and economic reasons, the contractor went bankrupt, leaving behind a huge area of unfinished buildings, and some strange rumors have recently circulated in the area, resulting in this area becoming a real dark area.

But today, in this unfinished building area, there is a strange thing, in a certain factory in the unfinished building area, a trace of light suddenly appeared, the faint light has no sense of existence in front of the seven-colored brilliance of Yangcheng, but it looks a little weird in this dark area.

A young man stood in a fairly intact factory, leaning sideways against the wall, his eyes quietly looking at the darkness outside the factory and the neon light in the distance through the frameless window, an incandescent lamp behind him was emitting a subtle white light through a simple wire socket, the light was very weak, only illuminating less than one-tenth of the area in the factory, the current was also very unstable, the light often flickered on and off, and the figure of the young man flickered in this faint light.

The factory building is very large, nothing is placed, it is very empty, the ground is full of dust, only the young man is less than ten square meters around the traces of being cleaned, the young man's feet are placed some sundries, there is water, there is opened bread, a sleeping bag, there are several stacks of stappled documents scattered around, and there are two big words printed on the cover of the document - resume.

Name: Gu Yan

Gender: Male

Age: 24 years old

······

Specialty: None

Hobbies: Reading books

······

The content of the resume is very ordinary, no different from the average recent college graduate.

Long

Suddenly, a dazzling light swept through the factory, and a white light came out from somewhere, illuminating the entire factory, and at the same time, a cold electronic voice also sounded from the factory.

"Basic charging in progress, energy category, low-grade energy: electrical energy, meeting the minimum opening requirements of the installation, is it deployed? Reiterate whether to expand? ”

"Is it finally done, but what the hell is this ······?"

After Gu Yan heard the sound, he walked towards the center of the factory, only to see a light gray metal object on the ground, about 20 cubic centimeters in size, which looked like an enlarged version of the 3rd order Rubik's Cube, the metal square was surrounded by wrist-thick industrial cables, and from time to time there were blue electric flashes, and the white light that suddenly appeared in the factory was emitted from this metal object.

"Whether to unfold... Whether to expand...

The prompt sound continued to echo in the factory, Gu Yan stared at the metal square, with a trace of excitement and vigilance on his face, and shouted:

Expand

As soon as the words fell, the metal square suddenly floated, and at the same time, the surface emitted a red light, and the light suddenly enveloped Gu Yan, and at the same time, a voice sounded:

"Command accepted, start the device, biometric scanning, user confirmation, initial program start, biometric input completed, start the program... Permission confirmed··· Permission confirmation completed..."

The sudden change surprised Gu Yan, he instinctively wanted to escape when he was shrouded in red light, but when he wanted to move, he found that he had lost control of his body, and in his consciousness Gu Yan kept wanting to leave, but his body was motionless, directly receiving the red light.

"What's going on, hell? Or what, why can't I move? Could it be the reason for this red light? Although his body was out of control, Gu Yan's self-consciousness was still very clear, and all kinds of thoughts and speculations flashed through his mind, but after a while, he stopped guessing, because the red light was slowly disappearing, and then he regained control of his body.

"Whew... Can you finally move, but what the hell is this? ”

Gu Yan looked at the floating metal square in front of him, and his heart was full of curiosity.

This thing was seen by Gu Yan from the trash can at school a week ago, because graduation is approaching, senior students have to clean up the dormitory, and I think this thing was also cleaned up by a certain classmate. At that time, after Gu Yan saw it, he suddenly had a whim, so he kicked it with his foot, and kicked it over, but he was surprised to find that the object was very light, and he checked it with his hand, and the weight was only about 1 kilogram, which was very unreasonable, so because of this, Gu Yan picked it up and wanted to find someone to identify it.

However, since then, strange things have happened slowly, because Gu Yan found that he would naturally do some things that he felt were against his character, such as he obviously came to Yangcheng to look for a job, but except for the first day, he was going around Yangcheng at other times, as if he was looking for something, but he knew very well that he had nothing to look for, and for example, he actually came up with the idea of temporarily living in this unfinished factory, and really bought a sleeping bag and some daily necessities to live here. Later, Gu Yan's heart suddenly came to the idea of powering that metal object, and the most important thing was that he was obviously looking for a job, why did he still bring that thing?

I don't know, I can't figure it out, Gu Yan feels as if he is being controlled by some unknown existence, although he knows very well that these decisions are made by him "personally", but he just feels a little disobedient, but right now, Gu Yan is very sure that all these things are because of that metal square, as for the reason, isn't it still clear? Just to start it.

"The device is deployed, the system is started, the biometric information is entered, and the binding system is opened... Checking the user..."

The cold electronic synthesis sound continued to sound, and then, a dazzling white light flashed in front of Gu Yan's eyes, he instinctively closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the surroundings were calm, and nothing had changed. He measured his head with some doubts, and then the change occurred, only to see that the space around Gu Yan suddenly distorted, and with a shake, he found that he was already in a strange place, the ground was made of smooth and flat white boulders neatly arranged, and there was nothing around him very empty, looking into the distance, only sparse white fog came into his eyes.

"Welcome to the imaginary space, the universal fantasy terminal is serving you, and the guide system is being opened"

Before Gu Yan could react, a cold electronic synthesis sound suddenly sounded in his mind, and at the same time, a golden hexahedral crystal slowly appeared in his mind.

"The guide system has been turned on, and the intelligent AI 'Chengguang' is serving you." A soft electronic voice emanated from the crystal.

"Who? Who are you? What is this terminal called? Gu Yan replied in his mind.

"In view of the fact that users have a lot of questions about this system, according to the database analysis, this guide recommends that users turn on the system forking function, whether to do system forking?"

After hearing the sound of "proceed", Gu Yan hesitated, but still gave the order firmly.

"Instruction receiving, system forking begins, data transmission is underway, due to the large data stream, there may be a short-term irritating sensation in the process of data transmission, please be patient, the transmission is in progress..."

Before Gu Yan could react, a continuous stream of data flashed on his eye mask, and then a sharp pain came out of his mind.

Ahh

With a miserable scream, Gu Yan covered his head and sat on the ground, his face was blue and covered with cold sweat, but his eyes were full of excitement and excitement, and he kept muttering:

"Energy Harvesting, Mass Energy Conversion, Dimensional Printing, Matter Simulation, Mass Energy Transfer······

"Is this true? I didn't expect to get this kind of thing. The divine light in Gu Yan's eyes kept flickering.

The universal fantasy terminal, this is the name of the unknown existence in Gu Yan's mind.

As for its function, it can be summed up as the creation of all things and the realization of everything.

"Isn't this a magic version of a 3D printer!! Gu Yan didn't know how much emotion he expressed, he was completely shocked by the ability of this system.

As long as there is enough energy, as big as a multiverse, as small as an atom, you can make it as long as you need it.
