Chapter 561: Unsolved Mystery
"Wow! Is this Nova City? Good~ Awesome! A blonde girl with the face of an angel looked out at the steel city below the floor-to-ceiling windows from a space elevator, and said excitedly with her small mouth open.
Looking down from the high-speed descending space elevator, Nova City sits in an oversized crater, like a flaming phoenix that radiates light all over its body, countless lights illuminate it as bright as day, and various soft lines of steel buildings shine beautifully.
"Hmmm! The future focus of our 'Ghost Brigade' will be this new era of immigrant cities! Next to the girl, a black-haired man pointed to the city below and said with a smile.
"Click!" A camera shutter sounded, and a fat man next to the two grinned with scissor hands and took a group photo with Nova City.
The rest of the thin man sat in his seat, calmly operating quickly on his terminal, focused and devoted.
The three men and one woman in this box are Chris and Alice, who have formed a small group.
The Ghost Brigade, a small group of four people who have been active in the solar system recently, has a certain reputation, including intelligence officer "Alice", combat officer "Fat Man", technical support "Ribs", and mysterious team leader "Hermit".
This group not only formed an adventure guild in the virtual network, but also had the financial resources to buy a small transport ship from Atlantis at a high price, and after modification, with an engineering mecha and engineering robots, it has a certain ability to explore the universe.
The Ghost Brigade is also one of the few small groups with private spaceships, and belongs to the first batch of non-governmental organizations in the nature of adventure groups.
According to Chris's development plan, although the brigade can only undertake some small orders for interstellar cargo or mineral exploration to earn development funds, its business will expand to space exploration in the future and develop in the direction of interstellar adventure group.
With the advent of the Age of Discovery, the expansion of human activities, the increasing demand for similar businesses, and the hiring of Captain Ghost, the market potential is huge.
Chris knew that with his initial capital, it would be impossible to compete with those big countries and organizations, so he retreated to the next best thing and set his sights on the interstellar service industry, which had a slightly lower threshold.
A large number of small countries and organizations that want to join the development of the universe, but do not have the funds to buy spaceships, are all potential customers of the Ghost Brigade.
And this time, the four of them took on a cargo mission, taking advantage of the spacecraft to unload the spaceport, and then came to the moon city to visit and investigate.
The thin man browsed through the personal terminal in his hand and began to explain to the crowd.
According to information disclosed by the media, this space migrant city was developed from the expansion of Captain Ghost's third moon base, covering an area of more than 150 square kilometers, and eventually able to accommodate more than one million people.
It uses more than 80 million engineering robots of all kinds, and the architectural style is jointly designed by the top three architect guilds in the virtual world, consumes more than 300 million tons of steel, and the total construction time is less than half a year, which is known as another 'incredible ghost event'. ”
Chris nodded, and then frowned, "However, its first batch of immigration qualifications are quite strict, except for senior scientific research scholars registered in the virtual technology tree and some special talents, there is only an immigration quota allocated to each country according to the proportion of the population.
We currently only have a tourist visa, and it may not be easy to obtain a permanent residence here in a short period of time. ”
"Hey, hey! It's not easy to immigrate to Nova City, but I have the inside scoop! Alice turned and smiled slyly.
"Not to mention that the next round of large-scale immigration is about to begin, the immigration requirements will be relaxed to a certain extent, and since the headquarters of Atlantis moved here, as an employee of the company, I have internal recommendation qualifications!
As long as I have the citizenship status, I can invite a company to settle in my own name.
It is said that in order to avoid the excessive monopoly of space resources by major countries and consortia and stimulate market competition, private organizations like us will even enjoy Atlantis's small and micro enterprise support policies and obtain preferential special loans. ”
Chris's eyes lit up, "Oh? This is a good way, this immigrant city has great potential, and it will definitely become a bridgehead for mankind to enter the universe, the sooner we settle in, the greater the advantage in the later stage! ”
"But ......," Christ paused and looked at Alice, "once we settle, we're probably going to need to be here for a long time."
The three of us are nothing, I'm alone, and both of them grew up in welfare homes, but I remember Alice, you seem to have an older brother? ”
"My brother?" Alice pursed her lips when she heard this, "That guy joined the Earth Defense Force not long ago, saying that he was going to follow his former comrades to fight the sea of stars, and he had long forgotten his sister outside the clouds!" ”
Alice's older brother, Mattia, a former crew member of the Florida.
The first batch of beta test experimenters of this group of virtual technology were obviously Stockholm syndrome patients, and after being released by Captain Ghost, everyone was conquered by the captain's technology, and resolutely chose the "pro-ghost" armed group Earth Defense Force.
It is said that after completing the cosmic environment adaptation training, he will be sent to the earth defense chain to garrison.
"Good! That's no problem, our Ghost Brigade starts in Nova City, and the goal is to become the number one adventure party in the universe! ”
"Oh!" "Yay!" "Roar!" The trio responded with a boom.
After looking forward to a better future, the three of them had a heated discussion about this moon city.
"The various facilities in Nova City are the crystallization of the current top technology, and the public management is fully intelligent, the public facilities are fully unmanned, and its central control core is the super artificial intelligence 'Wisdom Goddess' who controls the virtual world under the command of Captain Ghost.
If we want to develop here, the dinner system is no longer feasible, and we must try to complete some contribution tasks and improve our citizen rights. The thin man lifted his glasses and said.
"Goddess of Wisdom? I heard that the weapon systems in Nova City and the surrounding unmanned bases are under her full control, so I really want to see the ghost-based weapons at full power...... "The fat man was leisurely fascinated.
The "Goddess of Wisdom" is an artificial intelligence with super high intelligence in the ghost organization, active in various virtual worlds, managing hundreds of millions of robots under her command, and countless clones, and is the most frequent member of the ghost organization, and is also affectionately known as the "captain and first mate".
Because of its huge scientific and technological reserves, and almost omniscient extraordinary performance, it was shocked by the top leaders in the scientific community of various countries and praised as the "goddess of wisdom" on the scientific and technological side, and then this title was widely spread.
According to rumors, the goddess of wisdom has extremely high intelligence, although under normal circumstances, ordinary people can only contact the more rigid ordinary wisdom template, but it is said that with the increase of its own authority, you can access the more advanced "wisdom goddess clone".
There is also a theory circulating on the Internet that the diplomat of the "Goddess of Smiling" who once appeared at the United Nations meeting is very likely to be the high-level advent clone of this "Goddess of Wisdom"!
Although the behavior pattern of the code name is highly anthropomorphic, it is not difficult for the intelligence agencies and news media of various countries who have repeatedly studied all the information of Captain Ghost.
For the emergence of this kind of super artificial intelligence, the earthlings accepted it quite calmly, after all, the world was almost destroyed once, and the ghost captain even beat the aliens, what else is unacceptable?
As for whether this kind of advanced artificial intelligence will have a tendency to destroy the world like "Skynet", "Matrix" and the like, human beings are more calm and say that we have a ghost captain.
After all, from the perspective of forced qualifications, the technology side is still slightly inferior to the mysterious side......
"Hmmm! According to my brother and the crew of the Florida who were once lucky enough to be kidnapped by Captain Ghost, the number one brain under the command of this Captain Ghost has an extremely mysterious "code name".
Because no one can ever tell what the code name is in the system prompt......
It is also for this reason that the "Codename of the Goddess of Wisdom" is tied with "Captain Ghost's Heart" and "The Treasure of Atlantis" as the "Seven Unsolved Mysteries of Captain Ghost". ”
Alice has a great curiosity about all the rumors about Captain Ghost, and even the amusement gossip relishes.
"Captain Ghost's Seven Unsolved Mysteries? So what are the others? Chris asked curiously.
"Hey, hey! This fourth unsolved mystery happens to be related to Nova City! Alice squinted her eyes and said mysteriously.
"It is reported that the reason why Captain Ghost named this immigrant city 'Nova City' is not for nothing, but because there is a huge underground space under the city, which is Captain Ghost's secret base.
It is the headquarters of the mysterious organization to which the legendary Captain Ghost belongs.
Legend has it that in the secret base below this city, there is also a ghost captain's invincible super weapon that can destroy the star and destroy the galaxy - the 'Spear of Longinus'!
'The Underground Divine Soldiers of Nova City' is the fourth ...... of these seven unsolved mysteries."
