2.31 A day in the life of a waste picker
Thanks to the monthly pass and the law of mango popsicle, and the reward of slowly killing pigs.
Carefully and carefully packing a few memory sticks into a special storage box, the captain let out a sigh. Being able to stay in the plot world for more than ten years, in addition to being a diehard, the requirements for life are simple enough is also a very important reason. Compared with the big players who often only collect resource points, these are destined to be the diehards of the minority, and they pay more attention to digging into the deep connotation of the story world.
Like the ruins of a city fleeting in a hacker empire, they are happy to explore again and again.
The sweeping campaign has been over for a long time. The scavenger team has divided their own exclusive area and common exploration area to explore the world in detail.
Hiding in a leeward room to rest and eat, Wu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Have you really encountered a hammer player in the real world?" β
"Nope." The captain, who was already familiar with Wu Chen these days, shook his head firmly, "We don't often access the matrix, and we only treat the hacker empire as a doomsday world to survive. There are rumors of the Hammer Falling Organization circulating on the Internet, but that was a long time ago. β
"How long ago?" Wu Chen asked.
"Five years ago." The captain thought for a moment.
"Oh." Wu Chen was sure he wasn't lying.
Wu Chen's omega brain waves will become more and more powerful and active in the strong electromagnetic field. And the ground world ruled by the machine qì people, relying on wireless networks to connect to each other is not too much, Wu Chen tried, in addition to not being able to teleport and self-healing. He can do almost everything in the electronic world. With Wu Chen's current ability. Scan the player's brainwaves. Finding a wave similar to a drop in the hammer is a very simple task.
This team of scavengers has been scanned by him, and there are no spies who have fallen from the hammer.
As for whether or not there is a lie, it's even simpler.
Because when people are lying and telling the truth, the areas of activity of the brain are very different. When lying, activity occurs in 7 areas of the brain, including the front of the brain, the middle and lower parts, the front central part, the hippocampus, the middle temporal area, and the limbic part of the brain. In the brain, the person who told the truth only had four areas of activity: the frontal lobe, the temporal lobe, and the gyrus with the striae. The term "racking brains" may be more appropriate to describe liars. Because when lying, the human brain has to put in more labor than telling the truth, and this is not something that the human consciousness can control.
Of course. There is also a possibility that this 'memory of lies' was implanted in advance. So although he told the truth, because his memory was fake, he unknowingly lied.
This should be unlikely.
After all, this team of scavengers, composed purely of players, has all been entered into a memory of a lie, and they haven't even noticed it?
This is too unlikely.
While chatting after dinner, a petite female player squeezed to Wu Chen's side.
"0326, I heard you have a lot of female companions?"
"Hmm." Wu Chen smiled, not knowing what she wanted to ask.
"They must love things like that." As she spoke, the female player took out a cylinder resembling lipstick from her fanny pack.
"What's that?"
"I'll show you." As she spoke, the female player took off her thick protective gloves. Revealing the little pale hand that lacked sun exposure. Slowly unscrew the cylinder and poke out a delicate nozzle. The laser light scanned the female player's palm, and soon a thin glove with a delicate nylon mercerized glow was shaped.
"Nanomaterials?" Wu Chen asked curiously.
"It's a nano-scale polymer material. The thinnest is only one-tenth of a hair's strand, and the thickest can reach the level of a cabin skysuit. The female gamer smiled: "The most important thing is that it can program various parameters such as color, style, thickness, etc." And breathability, comfort is not at all comparable to existing materials. Saying that, the female player also deliberately showed Wu Chen her corset of the same material.
"How many sets can this can be sprayed?" Wu Chen was very interested.
"I don't know, I only sprayed a few pieces of close-fitting clothing."
"Oh." Wu Chen nodded, it shouldn't be difficult to imitate. In fact, the 3D printing technology on the white swan can also do it. And small things are better than small and convenient.
"100 points?" Wu Chen made an offer.
"No, no. To you. The female player blushed and hurriedly waved her hand.
"Why?" Wu Chen doesn't think he's a face fighter.
"Thank you for coming into this world." The female player mustered up her courage and stared at Wu Chen's eyes and said her heart.
Wu Chen was stunned.
Why thank me for coming into this world?
"It's been a long time since anyone new has come in." The female gamer told the truth again.
Although they are die-hard loyalists of the hacker empire, no matter what others do, they will choose to stick to it, there may be a new person coming in, and it is a very famous newcomer, which is a great spiritual reward or even an honor for players who have made this world their home. It's like, look, our home is old, but it's just as attractive.
Wu Chen's expression suddenly softened, and he took it solemnly: "Thank you." β
"No thanks, no thanks." The female player hurriedly waved her hand, and the satisfaction between her eyebrows was deeper than that of Wu Chen, who accepted the gift, which made people moved.
After the break, the captain motioned to continue upwards.
The staircase leading to the upper floor has been damaged, and the electromagnetic track floating ladder has long been out of power, so the captain took out the electromagnetic hook claw, connected the socket on the mechanical arm, aimed at the exposed alloy steel frame on the upper floor, and pressed it gently.
Wu Chen thought that a steel cable would shoot out and wrap around the steel frame, and then the electric motor would buzz and rotate to pull the person up. I didn't think that the captain flew out like a cannonball, and sucked firmly on the steel frame. By swinging back and forth, he jumped from the edge of the building into the central floor that did not collapse.
Therefore, the principle of the electromagnetic hook is to generate a strong confined magnetic field to suck people up.
If you follow Wu Chen, you can't just hit through the floor slab, why be so careful. But the female player who was closer to him shook her head and said that it was the customary rule of every scavenger not to damage the structure of the building as much as possible. First of all, for safety reasons, these war-torn buildings have stood silently for hundreds of years, and if you are not careful, the entire building will collapse like an avalanche. It seems that there has been a similar crisis before, killing the whole team.
Secondly, out of the protection of these relics of human civilization, the scavengers try not to destroy them by man.
The captain quickly fell off the cable, and the team members climbed up in turn. The sight is also a devastated ruin. However, compared to the tattered ground floor, it is much better here. It was also destroyed by a bombing that penetrated the roof, but because the reinforced structure successfully withstood the impact of the explosion, this floor was still well preserved. The transparent shield that shrouded the core was cracked, but it was not broken.
"Wow!" The scavengers were overjoyed.
If the protective cover is not broken, it means that everything inside is fine!
"Quick, nitrous." Time has passed for hundreds of years, and the items isolated by the protective shield must be injected with nitrogen to keep them fresh, otherwise they are in danger of being completely damaged as soon as they come into contact with the environment.
Compressed nitrogen is quickly injected, and the laser cutter draws a large circle along the protective cover, and then attaches a portable electronic airlock. When the cut pieces are removed along with the cutter, the airlock automatically locks up.
The various environmental parameters on the airlock rose rapidly, and after all the pointers reached the green safety range, the petite female player from before immediately took off her heavy protective suit, wore a dexterous tights, and flew through the open airlock like a skilled acrobat and entered the protective cover. The airlock is followed by an automatic lock.
With the help of number jΓΉ sharing, the team members can see what she sees.
I saw that in the boss's chair behind the luxurious desk, there was a corpse wearing a protective suit. Because of its isolation, it has been lying quietly in the boss's chair for hundreds of years.
The captain knocked on the heavy high-tech composite cover in front of him and sighed: "It automatically falls during the attack, and after the power of the whole building is cut off, it cannot be opened normally." Nine times out of ten, this guy is suffocating to death. β
"Huh?" However, the routine inspection of the female player has made a new discovery: "Boss, he is also a reformer!" β
"What?!" The captain was taken aback: "Scan the brain!" β
"Yes!" The female player immediately pulled out a cable from her wrist, one end connected to her right mechanical brain, and the other end to the reserved slot on the corpse protective helmet.
The moment the cable is plugged in, both the female player and the corpse seem to have passed the power.
"Can a reformed person still live?" This is what Wu Chen is most curious about.
"Difficult." The captain shook his head: "Unless he has another super battery installed on his body that can be charged for six hundred years at a time." β
"That's right, you need to recharge too." Wu Chen nodded. Although mechanical transformers have a long life, they also have to eat on time and recharge on time. Otherwise, you will die if you run out of energy.
The female player quickly confirmed the captain's judgment.
"Brain dead, trying to decode the core number jΓΉ library."
The dead brain is still defenseless, and it was quickly broken by the female player, and a large number of primordial numbers stored in the mechanical brain are being copied.
"Time of Death, 2199, December 3." The female player quickly reads the last storage date of the mechanical brain.
"It is estimated that this is the date when the city was destroyed." One player exclaimed excitedly.
Wu Chen shook his head, "No, the protective suit on his body has a life-sustaining function, and he should have died after the destruction of the city." β
"That's right." The female player nodded: "The mechanical brain has been in a low-energy standby state for a long time. Judging by the date of the record, he held out for about 50 years. β
"It's already remarkable." With the help of communication with the female player, Wu Chen quietly used brain waves to scan the life-sustaining equipment on the corpse. The super-powered battery pack connected to the recliner under him provided him with stable power for about 100 years. The real cause of his death was the burning of the left biological brain by a high-energy laser. Before he died, with amazing perseverance and a complete right brain, he completed the wearing of life-sustaining equipment.
Then lie down and wait to die. (To be continued......)
