Volume 1 Wilderness Chapter 18 No. 7 and the New World
After a night's rest, the pain in my abdomen and back has disappeared.
Ouyang Mu lifted his clothes, only to see that the cracked places had scabbed again, and some places were already itchy.
Ouyang Mu knew that this was the reason why the skin had begun to heal.
The body's current metamorphosis resilience has doubled his confidence!
In the future, as long as it is not a fatal injury, there is no need to worry too much about other injuries.
Of course, it doesn't mean that you don't have to worry about it, hemostasis and bandaging are still indispensable.
I stood up and tried to take two steps, and it felt okay, as long as it wasn't drastic, it didn't hurt much!
After breakfast, Ouyang Mu led June and continued to explore.
He thought that since he was going to stay for a long time, he would naturally have enough time to understand the laboratory exploration clearly!
Habits formed in the wilderness, familiar with the space, prevention is not the case!
Ouyang Mu shuttled through all corners of the laboratory without hurrying, where the corridors and passages of the rooms were dense, and various functional areas were dazzling.
After opening the room, either the pots and pans were ready, or the fitness and sports equipment was abundant, Ouyang Mu's happy eyes were almost gone.
This laboratory can be completely self-sufficient, except that it can't produce vegetable rice and oil noodles, if the materials are complete, it is a good place to survive in the last days!
His emotions seem to have infected Little June as well.
I saw the little guy running around, and the little tail flicked and flicked so unhappy!
As I walked, a corridor of about ten meters appeared in front of me, with walls on both sides of the corridor and only a door at the end.
He hadn't noticed this room before, and he had just walked here by accident.
There were no unusual features or materials to be seen outside the door, and the white faΓ§ade was sprayed with some crooked patterns.
There was also a password box on the wall, and when Ouyang Mu approached, the keyboard suddenly lit up.
Ouyang Mu was not surprised, there were many rooms he had walked through, and the password door had long been unable to arouse his interest.
I just thought to myself, what can I do here?
Thinking like this, I can't help but approach!
"Di ~ Welcome Dr. XXX, you have the highest authority, please enter!"
"Huh?"
Ouyang Mu was puzzled?!
This electronic sound actually said more words than other doors?
Interest was suddenly raised.
Silently, the metal door slowly opened to both sides.
The first thing that catches your eye is a large screen, which hangs in pitch black on the wall directly opposite the door.
At the bottom of the screen, in the center of the room, is a long row of computers.
It's just that the computer is in a black screen state, and I don't know if it's good or bad!
And on the computer desk, there are some handles such as operating levers, and I don't know what to do.
Depending on the situation, this should be a control room!
Thinking about it, Ouyang Mu walked in.
Looking at the sides of the room, the walls are lined with cabinets, with red indicators flashing on them, which seem to be running.
Seeing this, Ouyang Mu was not surprised!
Since all the doors of the lab are password controlled, there must be a place for central control.
Fingers brushed over the tabletop, cold and cold, but no dust.
The environmental system of this laboratory is really good.
At this time, his fingers inadvertently touched the keyboard, and he saw that the screen in front of him, which had been silent for at least decades, suddenly had some subtle changes, and he really couldn't have noticed it if it weren't for his good eyesight.
I saw that the original black of the computer screen was slightly slightly brighter, and then the picture appeared.
Ouyang Mu looked at it, the frame on the screen was full of all kinds of numbers, and he didn't know what the software interface was.
Ouyang Mu's eyes darkened, and he couldn't understand it at all.
And at this moment, an electronic voice suddenly appeared:
"Hello stranger! Welcome to the Wasteland Biological Experiment Base! β
The abrupt voice startled both Ouyang Mu and Xiao June!
The broken sword was already across his chest, he suddenly raised his foot and retreated, ignoring the slight pain in his abdomen, and asked vigilantly:
"Who is speaking? Come out...! β
However, no one appeared, but the voice sounded again:
"Hello! I'm the main control brain system of the Wasteland Biological Experiment Base, you can call me Number 7! β
This time, Ouyang Mu heard it clearly, it was the sound of a speaker on the table.
As the voice appeared, the large screen on the wall suddenly activated.
The whole screen is divided into two screens, one side is monitoring, and you can see a few scattered grids on display, including the outside world.
On the other side, there are various charts, which are estimated to be the state of the system or something.
Guess! Anyway, Ouyang Mu doesn't understand!
And in the lower right corner of the screen, there is a small emoji, and as you speak, your mouth opens and closes.
Brain!
Ouyang Mu was slightly surprised!
The base city also has a smart brain, which is a product of a hundred years ago.
It's just that there aren't many places where you can use it nowadays, and it is said that she is now a librarian.
"Number 7! How big is this base? β
This is what Ouyang Mu wants to figure out the most, this base is too big, and he has not finished exploring it so far.
The electronic sound of No. 7 came slowly:
"If you count the surrounding walls, the area is about 66,667 square meters, which is equivalent to ten football fields in the old world!"
Ouyang Mu was stunned when he heard this!
It's no wonder that the exploration has not been completed for so long.
With such a large area, it is equivalent to the entire city being empty under the ruins.
It's just that he's curious!
What is the use of such a large laboratory?
Thinking of this, he asked:
"And what is this base for?"
The surprises that this experimental base gave him were simply not too many.
"As the initial design goal of the base, it is mainly for the research ...... related to genetic evolution"
Next, No. 7 gave a general explanation of the structure of the base.
The entire laboratory site is divided into two floors, the lowest floor is the energy supply area, which is also the smallest floor.
The upper level is the functional level, which includes a core control room, which is here.
It also includes a living area and an office area, both of which Ouyang Mu knows that he has finished exploring!
In addition, there are two large laboratories.
One of them is engaged in genetic evolution-related research, and the other is through research on new technologies.
In addition, there is a large validation training ground for laboratory research and verification.
As for the specific research project of new science and technology, No. 7 did not explain, and Ouyang Mu did not ask, but just listened quietly.
In addition to the above areas, there is only one last production area left, which is the large space where the parking is located.
Hearing this, Ouyang Mu was stunned!
I understand the role of the neat assembly line!
"That's the approximate division of the wasteland lab!"
After finishing speaking, No. 7 didn't say anything, leaving time for Ouyang Mu to digest slowly.
Ouyang Mu was indeed shocked, but he didn't expect this laboratory space to be so huge.
But he still had a doubt, and asked No. 7:
"This base must have cost a lot, why was it abandoned?!"
He has been here three times before and after, and he has not even seen a single figure, so he must have been abandoned a long time ago.
Immediately, Zhi Brain No. 7 began to explain in a rambling manner.
About 50 years ago, not long after the experimental base was built, before it was put into use, there was an accident and the personnel had to be evacuated urgently.
Hearing the word accident, Ouyang Mu became interested:
"What happened?"
"The experimental raw materials of the base are leaking, the personnel are infected, and there are mutations!"
Ouyang Mu's expression tightened!
Variation?!!
"Which variant? Is it dangerous? β
If it's a radiation type of contamination, it's not a big problem and can be handled!
Their night stalker itself is a product of nuclear radiation, and he still has some resistance to humanoid radiation creatures!
But if it's another unknown mutation, then you can't be so confident!
"It is a genetic and pharmacological lesion, and after systematic evaluation, it belongs to the most dangerous level, but shortly after the rest of the people were evacuated, the mutants also left!"
I see!
No wonder he saw those scratches on the walls when he searched the gates.
50 years ago?!
A question suddenly occurred to him:
"Number 7, do you have a map of the Old World?"
As an artificial intelligence, No. 7 appeared 50 years ago, and there should be a map of the old world!
You must know that since the nuclear war, the sky has always been full of scorched yellow, and there is no coordinate direction to refer to.
And once it rains, I can't see any direction, and every time I go out, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find it.
At the beginning, the masked man from Base City No. 3 would appear here, and he guessed that most of it was by mistake.
"Hello! There are no old world maps in the system! β
Ouyang Mu was suddenly a little disappointed, but it didn't matter!
Anyway, I've gotten used to it for so many years!
But No. 7 suddenly spoke again:
"In fact, compared with the geographical structure of the new world, the map of the old world has no reference value!"
Ouyang Mu was slightly surprised:
"Oh? Why? β
No. 7's emotionless electronic voice plays:
"After the outbreak of the nuclear war a hundred years ago, the impact of the explosion has changed the global geology and landform......
Number 7 then tells him about a world he doesn't know.
A hundred years ago, the nuclear war broke out, and due to the impact of the explosion, the global geological and geomorphology have undergone tremendous changes, and the earth's crustal plates have moved violently.
Because of the changes in the landform, artificial orogenic movements have been formed, and the continental plates are moving closer to each other, moving and squeezing wildly, which has also made many countries live side by side.
Submarine volcanic eruptions have also occurred in various parts of the world due to crustal movements, and the overall sea level has risen, and the land area has been greatly reduced.
In less than a year, the Earth has formed a vast new continent centered on the northern half of the Eastern Hemisphere and the eastern part of Eurasia.
Since then, people have begun to go underground, and the surface of the New World has gradually become a paradise for flora and fauna.
At the beginning, geologists divided the New World into four regions according to geographical location, namely the east, west, north and south.
The division of the four continents has a strong regional character.
For example, the eastern continent where they are located is mostly inhabited by proto-Asian people.
The northern continent is more white and black, while the west and south also live in their own races.
The New World is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and is divided into east, west, north and south seas.
There is a river in the interior of the mainland, which meanders through and runs through the east and west, and is named Taiping River, which has a very profound meaning!
Dongdalu 7 gave a detailed explanation:
"The entire continent covers an area of nearly 10 million square kilometers, and is divided into four regions, southeast, northwest and northwest, and the Taiping River passes through three regions in the northwest and east..."
At this time, Ouyang Mu's location was located in the south of the southwest junction line, and the No. 1 base city was located in the west of the southwest junction line.
With the narration of No. 7, Ouyang Mu suddenly felt cheerful.
A huge world was gradually constructed in his mind, maybe the structure was rough, but for him, it was enough!
Growing so big, he finally knew that the place he was in was originally called the Eastern Continent.
However, for the other three continents, No. 7 only mentioned a few words, citing the lack of information.
Ouyang Mu didn't care too much about this, the Eastern Continent alone has an area of tens of millions of square kilometers, and it is unknown whether he can get out of the Eastern Continent in this life!
It's just that he has doubts in his heart, why no one in the base city knows a word about the geographical division of the wilderness.
For his doubts, No. 7 gave an explanation:
"First of all, this division is not official. In addition, the information in the system is self-contained and does not have a dissemination line. Finally, in order to prevent ordinary people from operating in the wilderness, to be safe, hide it from ordinary people! β
This explanation is well-founded and very convincing!
"So, the management of Base City and some families know?"
No. 7 was silent for a moment this time, and then spoke:
"Yes! All the upper echelons and families of the base city know it! β
But Ouyang Mu was faintly unhappy in his heart.
They all know it!
Just the civilians don't know!
Ouyang Mu suddenly felt a little ridiculous, a little pathetic.
