Chapter 1021 Memories From the Void

To be honest, Lu Zhou feels like he is on a roller coaster.

And it is still the kind that climbed to the top of the slope and fell to the bottom of the slope.

After floating in the boundless darkness for an unknown amount of time, suddenly a feeling of being caught by gravity came from the edge of consciousness. Faint light source.

Gradually, the light source approached.

Getting close to where you can reach.

Just when Lu Zhou was thinking about what information the system wanted to convey to him, a huge pulling sensation suddenly pulled him towards the faint light source.

As if breaking through the clouds, at the moment of hitting the light source, everything in the field of vision suddenly became clear.

Touch, smell, taste...

All five senses return.

The strong wind blowing in front of him made Lu Zhou squinted his eyes subconsciously, until he struggled to overcome the raging airflow, and then opened his eyes with difficulty...

Then, he was deeply shocked by everything in front of him.

"This is where?!"

Muttering to himself, every inch of his pupils was filled with shocking expressions, so much so that Lu Zhou even forgot his current situation and was falling down from an unknown height of thousands of kilometers...

This is a bizarre world.

The endless land is filled with a real steel forest.

The black obelisks with minimalism and serious homogeneity exude a cold air, standing on the deserted wasteland like skyscrapers. Every inch of the ground covered with metal exudes the unique luster of metal, and every "street" is as steep as a ruler, looking down at it like a blank chessboard.

If you just look at the exterior, it looks like a city.

However, Lu Zhou, who was looking down from the sky, could not feel even the slightest breath of the living.

Not even the feeling that a living person once existed.

how to say?

If he were allowed to live here, he would probably go crazy in a few days.

There is no reason for him.

It's like a tomb here.

It's as if those "high-rise buildings" themselves were not built for living people, but tombstones used to mourn something.

For some reason, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered the description of the galactic capital "Trantor" in Asimov's "The Base". Although the vast majority of people in the imperial capital live underground, living and working in small cubicles of several square meters, the empire is not without achievements on the surface. Steel and industrial facilities cover every inch of the soil. The entire planet is not like a planet, but instead Like a huge man-made...

It is not clear whether the future world written by Amosif is as full of harsh order and minimalism as Lu Zhou, but in terms of development, everything in front of us is indeed very similar to the destroyed "Trantor"...

It didn't take long for Lu Zhou to think.

The huge gravitational pull pulled him out of the void and the like, and then threw him to the surface in less than a few breaths.

Just when Lu Zhou closed his eyes and held his breath for what was about to happen, the miserable scene of squashing tomatoes did not happen.

A gentle force held him back, allowing him to complete the slowdown before approaching the ground.

Feeling the gentle power, Lu Zhou's pupils shrank slightly, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"anti-gravity?!"

"No... It's not reality here, so what should I say."

Here is the world of consciousness.

Although the system gave him the veiled five senses for some reason, it still didn't change his body still on a big soft bed in the Krinthia Hotel in St. Petersburg, Russia on Earth...

Not to mention technology that surpasses common sense, even if magic appears, it is not surprising, right?

Just like the VR online games in science fiction movies, copying the physical theorems in reality in a regular manner will make people feel that something is wrong.

Feet finally touched solid ground.

Not indulging in the security of returning to the surface, Lu Zhou calmed down a little and began to look around to check the surrounding environment.

In fact, when he was really in the "city", standing at the foot of the steep obelisks, he deeply felt the majesty of this huge man-made object.

I don't know what material the wall is made of, it's as smooth and steep as a mirror, and I can't even find a single flaw.

"Unique design..."

Reaching out and touching the black wall as smooth as a mirror, Lu Zhou's face suddenly showed a hint of shock.

Although his experience is not enough to judge the mirror finish grade of a material by touch, his intuition tells him that such a large area of ​​polishing and seamless splicing is almost impossible with modern industrial technology. .

It's not just technology that's two eras ahead.

Of course, this is not the most shocking thing.

In a gravitational environment, it is possible to keep metals—or materials that are suspected to be metals in such a steep shape, extending thousands of meters from the surface to the sky... At least in Lu Zhou’s cognition, it should not exist on earth. of this material and engineering.

Intuition told Lu Zhou that this should not be completely made up in the consciousness space.

After all, the name of the thing in the inventory is "Void Memory", not "Void Game" or Void Movie. At least so far, although this broken system is a bit upright when it tricks him, it is not enough to play fake. Propaganda to deceive him...

His right hand was groping on the smooth mirror surface, not knowing what switch was touched, an invisible gap suddenly opened on the mirror-like metal wall, and soon the large metal plate turned into rolling. The squares spread out to the side, making way for a passage.

Looking at this strange scene, Lu Zhou subconsciously hesitated for two seconds.

However, thinking that he was in the space of consciousness anyway, even if something went wrong, it wouldn't threaten his body in reality, he still took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to walk in.

The space inside the building is very spacious.

Blade-shaped black metal bars fell from the ceiling more than ten meters high and plunged straight into the floor.

Blue dots of light flickering according to a certain pattern, dotted on the surface of these blade-like metal strips, are connected to each other by delicate and steep engraved lines.

And this is the only light source in this dark space.

For some reason, looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of the host of the server. And just when he had this kind of association, a more thoughtful thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Maybe……

The building he walked into was itself a huge computer integrated with countless chips.

Even this huge collection of man-made objects that he mistaken for a "city" is itself a huge integrated circuit composed of countless processors, a "city-level" or even "planet-level" array computer that embraces everything. ...

After all, even when he came down from a height of 10,000 meters, he hadn't really seen the city's borders.

"...Unbelievable, what level of data needs such a huge computer to process."

whispering in his mouth, Lu Zhou carefully passed through the rows of blade-shaped chip racks and walked towards the depths of the building.

It didn't take a long time, Lu Zhou quickly came to the suspected central area of ​​the building.

This is a circular space, the ceiling is much lower than the previous room, only four or five meters high. In the center of the room was a pool of water with a pale blue halo.

Walking to the edge of the pool, Lu Zhou looked down and saw that the light blue arc did not belong to the pool itself, but was projected from the bottom of the pool.

The mist like a veil slowly drifted out from the edge of the pool, exuding a biting chill. The pool water in front of me was only a very shallow layer, but this layer of dense mist rendered a visual sense. The deep-rooted cold.

Although he has not undergone rigorous experiments, the experience and intuition he has accumulated in the laboratory told him that it may be extremely low-temperature liquid helium flowing here.

As for the effect...

It is probably used to cool the thousands of "blades" in this building.

Standing on the edge of the pool and looking at it for a while, just as Lu Zhou was about to leave here, walk around and learn from the engineering experience here, he suddenly saw something vaguely from the bottom of the pool.

"...Is there something under here?"

Frowning, Lu Zhou squatted down.

I saw cubes the size of a Rubik's cube lying quietly under the pool water.

Suddenly, a crazy thought came up.

Want to take it out?

As soon as this thought came to mind, it was out of control.

Just the consciousness.

Even if it hurts, it won't affect the real world...

Thinking like this, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, took out the courage of his whole body, and did the stupid thing he would never do twice in his life - stretched his hands into the In the biting chill of liquid helium.

Almost as soon as his hands touched the surface of the liquid.

The whole pool of water seemed to be alive, beating wildly.

"It's actually superfluid!"

Due to the Leidenfrost effect, the instantly vaporized liquid helium formed a layer of vapor like a gas glove on the surface of his hands, blocking the surging cold.

However, this state of affairs is clearly unlikely to last long.

Too late to be surprised, Lu Zhou mustered all his strength, gritted his teeth, endured the pain of tearing his soul, and took out the cube sinking at the bottom of the pool.

"what!!!"

The cube is out of the water.

Lu Zhou, who was sitting on the ground, quickly moved away from the pool.

Looking at the tumbling pool water, he let out a long breath, ignoring the completely frozen hands, and looked at the cube in his hands.

With the faint light from the ceiling, he could barely see that the cube was golden, and on the mirror-like surface, he could see the same hollow patterns as those of the blade servers outside, and stars like stars. Small spots of light generally dotted on the surface.

If you get close, you can still hear the subtle buzzing from the cube.

At this time, Lu Zhou finally remembered where he had seen this thing.

Although it wasn't golden, it was black as if it had been scorched...

At almost the same time, a huge gravitational force suddenly attacked from behind him without warning.

As if torn by the gravitational pull, the surrounding pictures were torn apart like fragments, disintegrating in the boundless void...

"Is it time?"

Before he could even let out a sigh, the golden cube shattered into countless spots of light, and was sucked away by the invisible abyss together with his scattered body.
