Chapter 1 The 31st Century
"Warning, Vault 3017 system error detected, freezing procedures cannot be executed, repairs are ongoing......"
"Warning, the maintenance of the No. 3017 cryochamber has failed, and the target's vital signs have been detected to be declining, and the requirements for forced recovery have been met, and resuscitation agents are being injected......"
"Squeak!" In his sleep, Shen Luo only felt that he heard the sound of the door opening, although he was confused, Shen Luo knew very well that this was the freezing cabin unlocked, and people could finally return to the surface.
In the year 2066, scientists discovered that a solar catastrophe was coming, and in order to survive, people built shelters to escape the catastrophe. Of course, time and financial resources are limited, and in a world with tens of billions of people, only more than 10 million people can enter shelters.
And there is no doubt that Shen Luo is one of them, as an S-level ability who can't even beat a C-level ability, Shen Luo still passed the approval of his superiors and obtained the qualification to enter the shelter for refuge.
After being injected with resuscitation drugs, the body that felt nothing gradually regained consciousness, but when Shen Luo just came out of the freezer, he unexpectedly found that only the freezer cabin he was in was open in the entire shelter, and the other freezers were still sleeping.
"Hello, Brother Survivor."
"Who?" The sudden sound startled Shen Luo, and when Shen Luo turned his head, a girl who was only thirteen years old was standing behind him.
The girl is very beautiful and beautiful, and the clothes she wears are also very beautiful, looking like a fairy descending to earth, but Shen Luo can see at a glance that this is a two-dimensional virtual image, and the person who manipulates this image is obviously the artificial intelligence of the refuge.
But the person who designed this artificial intelligence is definitely a complete lolicon!
"It's artificial intelligence, don't scare me, okay? But what the hell is going on? Why are the others still in the freezer? ”
"Of course, Brother Survivor, the scheduled time hasn't come yet, and of course they haven't woken up."
"Then why am I ......?"
"Because the survivor's brother's freezer compartment is broken." The virtual teenage girl shows a cute smile.
"Huh?" Shen Luo didn't react for a while.
"According to the preset time, it is 20 centuries of freezing, but now only 10 centuries have passed, and it will take another 10 centuries for them to wake up." The virtual girl said.
At this time, Shen Luo reacted, his lips trembled and said, "You mean to say that I thawed 1,000 years earlier than others?" ”
"Well, not only that, but the freezer for storing food is still running, and if the survivor's brother doesn't find the food quickly, he will starve to death."
"It's okay, I have a spatial ability that I can walk through."
"Well, brother, your S-class spatial ability can indeed pass through the wall, but if you disarm it, brother, you'll be instantly frozen, because it's absolute zero inside, and no creatures can survive inside." The virtual girl still has that cute smile.
It is estimated that the artificial intelligence programmer did not set a sad program for this cute Lori girl.
No, it's not about AI at all, and if you don't have water and food, staying in this shelter is probably the only way to die, and the only way is to go up there and find food.
But if you go to the above another problem, according to the scientists' explanation, the radiation of solar storms will not disappear until at least 2000 years, and if you climb to the surface now, it is no different from looking for death, and the super radiation will kill people in an instant.
Even if the radiation is weak, long-term exposure to radiation will also have an impact on the human body, radiation is a very scary thing, if it is nuclear radiation for decades or more than a hundred years will disappear completely, but the radiation brought by the sun will not be able to subside in hundreds of years.
Otherwise, there is no need to freeze 2000 years.
"Brother survivor, you must be thinking about terrestrial radiation, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Don't worry, the radiation on the surface has completely subsided in two hundred years."
"This ...... How is this possible? ”
"I don't know, but our AI job is to record and evaluate the environment outside in addition to maintaining the entire shelter, and when everyone wakes up, this data will be available to scientists for study."
After a pause, the virtual girl continued: "It was supposed to take 2,000 years for the radiation to subside, but it has completely subsided in the time that people have been asleep for 200 years, and now the earth is now rejuvenated after 1,000 years......
"It looks like you still have something to say."
"Well, yes. Although the surface of the earth has changed, the current earth is not the same as the earth it used to be, and many new species have been born after radiation, and there are even intelligent species like humans. ”
"It's the same as a human being...... Intelligent species? There is no doubt that this news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Shen Luo. No, it's like a bolt from the blue for all mankind.
Because of the emergence of new species on the planet, there is no doubt that a war will break out when people wake up.
"So what do these species look like?"
"I'm sorry, I can't describe it either."
"That's ......" Shen Luo nodded in understanding, in order to prevent artificial intelligence from rebelling or something, all artificial intelligence has made some restrictions, after all, if artificial intelligence is not restricted, according to the speed of artificial intelligence learning and recording, it is simply casual for their intelligence to surpass humans.
And there is no restriction on artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence records data at an astonishing speed, but no matter how much artificial intelligence stores data, the amount of data stored by artificial intelligence is limited, and in the long run, it is not only possible to break out of artificial intelligence rebellion, but also because it is not restricted, artificial intelligence records indefinitely, resulting in a greatly reduced lifespan of artificial intelligence.
"But since the surface environment is suitable for human habitation, is it possible to unlock the cryocompartment in advance?" Shen Luo asked, although he was an S-level powerhouse, it was impossible to go against a completely new intelligent race.
The virtual girl shook her head and said, "I'm sorry Brother Survivor, we artificial intelligence have no right to change the data of the cryophory. ”
"In that case, wouldn't I never see the day in my life when we humans return to the surface?"
“…… No, the Administrator's key is required to reinitialize the Vault's data, but the Administrator's is not in the Vault. ”
"Where's that?"
"The largest refuge in China, Vault 0."
Vault 0, Shen Luo had heard of it. The largest shelter in China, accommodating more than 100,000 people, and the location of the shelter is located in the Imperial Capital City, so it can be said that this shelter is specially built for the people of the Imperial Capital City.
But here's the problem, Vault 0 is located in Imperial Beijing, and Vault 171 where Shen Luo is located is located in Nansha City, which is nearly 1,500 kilometers away from Vault 0, if it was an airplane or a high-speed rail in the previous technological era, it would take less than an hour to arrive, but now there must be nothing on the ground, and it may take two or three months just to walk over.
And that's not counting the mountains and mountains, detours, sleeping, encountering wild beasts, and the like.
"Okay, thank you AI, I'll go to Vault 0 right now, now that the Earth has reached the habitable conditions for humans, there is no point in continuing to be in the cryophory."
"Huh? Brother Survivor, don't you need to bring some weapons? ”
"Weapons? Rest assured, I'm armed all over my body. Shen Luo smiled indifferently.
Shen Luo's spatial ability is divided into two functions, the first is space storage, Shen Luo can use an independent space the size of a bedroom, similar to those space rings in the game, although the space is not very large, but it is full of all kinds of weapons and ammunition, as long as Shen Luo wants to take out weapons from it at any time.
Another function of the spatial ability is the spatial dislocation ability, which can turn the things that Shen Luo and Shen Luo come into contact with, so as to be immune to damage, of course, this function has two drawbacks, one is that he can't breathe, and the other is that Shen Luo's melee attack can't cause damage to others, which is a life-saving ability.
Because of this, Shen Luo's abilities rely heavily on technological weapons, and in pure ability battles, Shen Luo can't even beat a C-level ability with his abilities alone.
"So? Alright then, Brother Survivor, please come with me, and I'll take you to the surface. ”
"Isn't it possible to take the elevator to go up?"
"The elevator has not yet reached the unlocking time, so it cannot be used, and if the survivor's brother wants to go to the surface, he can only take a secret passage."
"Where?"
"Follow me."
In this way, Shen Luo followed the virtual girl to a freezer in the far corner.
Not only is there no one in this freezer, but there is not even a refrigeration device, except that it looks exactly like the freezer, which has nothing to do with the freezer.
"This is supposed to be a disguised elevator leading to the ground, right?" Shen Luo couldn't help but ask.
The virtual girl nodded, "Yes, this is for people like the survivor's brother who woke up early because of a cryopod error." ”
"I see." Shen Luo seemed to understand and nodded, it seems that when building the shelter, he also considered that it would inevitably encounter mistakes that artificial intelligence could not handle in a thousand years, and at this time, he could only leave a way out for those unfortunate, nothing more.
After getting on the elevator disguised as a cryogenic cabin, the virtual girl waved goodbye and disappeared, and Shen Luo could also feel the operation of the elevator.
"Squeak" only heard a metal collision sound, the elevator door was opened again, and the dazzling and warm sunlight shone on Shen Luo's face, and that warm feeling made Shen Luo both familiar and unfamiliar.
After all, for Shen Luo, the 1,000-year slumber felt like a sleep.
Although it has been frozen for so long, his body still adapts quickly, and gradually Shen Luo no longer feels the sun so dazzling. After the sun catastrophe, there is an endless green forest in front of you, as long as you take a breath of fresh air, it will make people refresh, in the earth in 2066, except for the uninhabited deep mountains and old forests, it is impossible to have such a fresh air.
