Chapter 34: Conversation on the Road
How so...... Why do these people like pure white confined spaces so much? After exiting, we entered another one.
It was supposed to be an elevator, and I looked at the inner wall with a streamlined console. The console seemed to be activated as the man stepped forward, a virtual numeric keypad formed, and then a beautiful but lifeless voice rang out, "Please enter the floor and confirm." ”
This kind of thing is very easy to operate, after all, the elevator on the earth is almost the same, but the hardware facilities are not the same, and the system has given an explanation: first lose the floor, and then touch -
But I was surprised to find that he didn't set the floor in advance, but clicked on it directly.
"Ding, the operation is wrong, please note: enter the number of floors first, and then click the OK button to go directly to the corresponding floor of the building."
It's really a humane prompt, and it's a little more detailed, but unfortunately no one appreciates it, because I clearly and clearly see that it is directly touching "OK".
"Ding, wrong! Your operation is suspected of malicious interference, warning! ”
Well, a warning had been given, but he remained unmoved, and pressed OK again.
"Ding, you have been judged to be a malicious operator, please cooperate with the Ministry of Security for investigation, if any adverse consequences are caused, I am deeply sorry." After the system prompt ended, I saw that the originally smooth wall instantly split, and after combining, two mechanical arms rushed towards the two of us at a rapid speed, apparently trying to suppress it.
However, at this time, he quickly clicked a fourth "OK", and then the menacing machinery stopped, but instead of returning directly to the wall, they were combined into two chairs with a slight adjustment on the floor, and I sat down with him at the signal of the other man's eyes.
"Sir, it's been a long time, do you need any help?" The system heard a prompt again, but this time it seemed to be a little more angry and smart.
"Yes, it's been a few years, and now that my mission is complete, take us to find the adults."
"Okay, we're locking the position now, please wait a minute - the lockdown is complete, this time it may be a little longer, I'm going to call the nearest manufacturing plant for you."
"Oh~" He seemed to understand something, and nodded clearly, "That's it, I'll talk to you when I have time later, goodbye." ”
In other words, this closed cabin thing is moving forward with a great acceleration, and the whole space is actually very smooth, at least after that, except for a slight navigation adjustment, I can't believe that the two of us will be moving straight forward and upward. Wait, why go up beforehand?
I couldn't help but ask this question, after all, when I explained it earlier, that building had a standard vertical axis.
――
"This is an artificial planet, and the entire planet is almost made of metal, so there are absolutely free passages below the surface of the planet, and as long as you have the ability, you can open countless passages to approach the target."
"Artificial planet?!" I let out a low sigh of surprise, this kind of thing is really unheard of, "This is amazing." ”
"Indeed, Easter's home planet was a military fortress that witnessed the rebirth of our civilization."
"The Rebirth of Civilization...... Military fortresses? These words made my heart flutter, and these two words made me smell a hint of desolation.
"A civilization full of life always has to go through a lot of tribulations," his eyes suddenly became complicated for a moment, but then became the same as usual, "The prototype of civilization was formed after the first robot revolution, when we were almost killed because of our confusion, and after coming to our senses, some of the originally divided people united to form a federation, that is, East, and the home planet was also built in a short time, but at that time it was not a planet but a warship. ”
"This is really ......" just listening to it, my heart was touched fiercely, and for some reason, when I heard about the establishment of civilization, a touch of touch disappeared in a flash.
"The history of the Easth civilization is very long, and the more important historical events have been preserved, some of which have led to the development of the process, some of which have led to the transformation of society, and some - which have led to terrible consequences that cannot be ignored, the most far-reaching of which are the three robot revolutions."
"Buzz." As I was engaged in digesting the newfound information, a jolt disturbed my mind. In fact, the vibration was not strong this time, but it became extremely noticeable after a period of smooth operation.
"Don't worry, it's an external modification, we'll be on the ground in a minute, and then we're going to outer space-oh, look at me, I'm so old that I forgot to explain it to you." At this time, as if he remembered something, he patted his head in annoyance.
"My name is Keener, the current patriarch of the Victor family, but I'm about to retire, after all, I've been doing it for nearly eighty years, I'm too tired!"
Nearly eighty years? I looked at him in amazement, and it didn't seem to be the case.
"Don't be surprised, after a while, you will have a deeper feeling after seeing Lord Ling Wuyue." He sighed slightly, "He is the person I admire the most, a person has worked hard for thousands of years, you must know that even if the current science and technology are enough to make us immortal, but not many people are really willing to live for a thousand years." ”
"What?" I don't seem to get it.
However, he didn't seem to have any intention of saying it twice, "Forget it, your basic knowledge is still insufficient, and you will understand what I mean when you understand this civilization." ”
――
At this point, a sharp acceleration began, but it didn't have much of an impact on us.
"Then again, you don't remember what East's home planet looks like, do you? After all, I got that you don't have any memories of the first eight years. It's better to appreciate it now, it's also a major feature of our civilization. ”
"Now?!" I looked around at the metal walls and raised an eyebrow. But after a snap of Keener's fingers, everything changed in front of me: the top, bottom, left, right, front, and back walls were completely transparent, and I could clearly see the view below.
"This-this-" I was momentarily incredulous.
"It's a lot like Earth, isn't it," he asked with a smile, "but it was designed a million years ago by a famous artist of the Templars based on vague information left by their ancestors." ”
That's a ...... No wonder civilization cares so much about the earth.
"What if Earth and the Easter civilization don't have any of these similarities?" I asked, in a flash of inspiration.
"Hehe......", he smiled, "the research is endless, maybe not much will change, but we definitely put too much attention into it." ”
