Li Liang walked one foot at a time in the jungle covered with leaves and branches, hitting the bushes along the way with the wooden stick in his hand from time to time.
Since he stepped on a snake half an hour ago, he began to re-examine the surrounding environment, and was finally convinced that the technology Xi'an mastered was beyond imagination and could be called a miracle.
This place doesn't look like a tropical rain forest, it is clearly a tropical rain forest. There are not only plants, but also a large number of small animals, birds, and insects. It is difficult to imagine that such a place can exist on the moon.
The sun shines from the canopy of trees, the moisture is steaming, and the forest is quiet. The only drawback is that there are no roads.
The orbiting spacecraft was traveling very fast when it crashed in, and it was quite difficult to get out of the jungle.
They had been walking for an hour and a half, wading through waist-deep streams, passing through bushes taller than a person, resting under a giant tree more than ten meters in diameter, cutting paths through a network of vines, and wading through mountains and rivers.
Li Liang once wondered if they were lost. They were heading deeper into the jungle. Later, K climbed up a giant tree to observe and confirmed that the direction was correct and that the sea was not far ahead.
When he was distracted, K's voice came from behind: "Doctor, just now you said that the area of Zhuos Lunar Headquarters is more than 4 million square kilometers, and the population is only more than 80 million. Calculating this, it is difficult for us to meet A living person."
Dr. Xisen, who was riding on the suspended metal plate with Li Xiaobao and Cain, was drowsy at first. Hearing this question, he said vaguely: "Yes, yes."
"ah?"
"Oh, no," Dr. Sisen became more awake and sat up and said, "There are usually interaction points on the beach. If we find the interaction point, we can get a retina projector and then call an airship."
K hummed and smiled: "Hey, doctor, why didn't you let the androids build us an airship just now?"
"I've thought about it. The problem is that we don't have a retina projector, so we can't determine the delivery location. We can only wait where we are, which is unsafe."
Li Liang waved his wooden stick and asked casually: "Will the retina projector have identity authentication?"
“You can use your real name or remain anonymous, the function is the same.”
"Is there any hidden program to verify identity in the background?"
"No," Dr. Xisen shook his head. "I studied retinal projectors when I was in the upper city of Xin'ao. The technology is very basic and there are no secrets. Li Liang, this is the upper city. You have to change your mind. The upper city is a place without Surveillance, no place for currency, no class, no disease, no conflict.”
K's voice came with a tone of disbelief: "No crime?"
"of course not."
Li Liang asked curiously: "How to do it? Even if personal interests can be satisfied, what about ideology? There will always be differences between people, right?"
"It's not just about satisfying personal interests. In Shangcheng District, the issue of material ownership no longer exists. As for ideology, with the complete elimination of information asymmetry, people can understand each other even if they have different views. There is no such thing." Real disagreement."
Hearing this, Li Liang felt very complicated. Such a social system had been proposed by the great sage a thousand years ago, but he did not expect that it had been implemented in Shangcheng District.
However, as a person from "ancient times" living in the lower city, he still could not imagine what a world without conflict would be like.
The other person present obviously couldn't figure it out either. He just heard K wonder: "Doctor, have you never seen that kind of natural criminal? He kills just for pleasure. There are many such people in the city."
Dr. Sisson smiled: "K, where do you think the people from Uptown come from?"
K snorted.
"Uh..." Dr. Xisen quickly asked and answered, "Most of them are not natural births, but are cultivated in a fertility center. The center will conduct DNA sequence screening of fertilized eggs. If there are genes that lead to violence or paranoid personality, If there are any sudden changes, local adjustments will be made in time.”
"What about natural births?"
"You always need to have a check-up when you are pregnant," Dr. Xisen smiled, "I am a rare exception. After all, my father comes from a wealthy family. Generally, children born to residents from the upper city and lower cities are not allowed to be brought back. It’s from the upper city area, so there are many people in the lower city area who have permission, but they have never been to the upper city area.”
Li Liang was speechless.
In broad daylight, with everything clear, is there not a single bad person in this place?
"That's not right," he reacted. "When the war started in Beijing, none of the Zhuosi people were soft-hearted, and the Zhuosi clan was not happy inside."
"The family is another matter, and Dros's army is not here. It is stationed on the space carrier." Dr. Sisson pointed upward. "Xi'an's army is not in the upper city either. The army and the civilians in the upper city are completely different." The system is set, and the army is closer to Xiacheng District."
Li Liang suddenly realized.
No wonder the doctor said that the Dros people would not be able to find this place for a while.
Without surveillance, and the androids not cooperating, it is really not easy to find four people within an area of more than four million square kilometers.
However, if the speed is fast enough, it probably won't take long to scan it again.
Thinking of this, he stopped talking and buried his head in clearing the way.
Twenty minutes later.
The jungle gradually thinned out, and the sound of waves could be faintly heard.
With victory in sight, Li Liang cheered up.
moment.
The group walked out of the jungle and onto the white sand beach.
The field of vision suddenly widened, the blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see, the sea breeze was slightly salty, and the sun was blazing.
Li Liang still felt like he was dreaming when he caught a glimpse before the crash, and until now when he looked at the sea and the sky.
There is actually a sea on the moon.
He and K stood side by side and fell into a long silence.
Until Dr. Sisson shouted: "Look."
Following the direction of the doctor's finger, he saw a large group of motorboats speeding towards him.
When he got closer, he found that "speeding" was not accurate. The motorboats trailing flames flew like rockets against the sea, setting off huge white waves.
A few seconds later.
The fastest motorboat was clearly visible, with a triangular hull and a huge nozzle installed at the tail, which was spitting out blue flames.
The person driving the motorboat was a muscular man. He stood on the motorboat, holding the rudder with both hands and laughing heartily.
Soon, four more motorboats caught up with them, with different shapes, engines, and paints. The drivers, both male and female, kept screaming and cheering.
It was obvious that these people were racing.
The problem is...none of the people who drive motorboats, male or female, are wearing clothes.
what is this? Customs and habits?
On the side, K exclaimed: "Doctor, I now understand why you thought Uptown was paradise when you first came to it."
Dr. Xisen blushed: "Not everyone wears no clothes, but... um..."
At this time.
A motorboat suddenly slowed down, turned a corner, and rushed straight onto the beach.
A woman jumped out of the boat. She was also not wearing a strand of hair. She was of Chinese origin, with long black hair reaching her waist, fair skin, and a graceful figure. She stepped on the sand with her bare feet and approached, smiling and saying a series of words.
Li Liang was stunned for a moment.
The pronunciation of this sentence is very similar to the accent of the previous android. It sounds like Chinese, like a dialect in a remote area, or a mix of English, Chinese and French.
Dr. Sisson stepped forward and spoke in a similar accent.
Li Liang could hear that Dr. Xisen's words were stumbling and he was obviously a bit unfamiliar.
Fortunately, the woman in front of me actually smiled after listening for a while, blinked her eyes, and said in smooth Mandarin: "Hello, my name is Si Si."
"Hello~" K smiled and raised his right hand and shook his five fingers.
Sisi pursed her lips, smiled with squinted eyes, walked a few steps forward, came to K, stood on tiptoes and kissed him directly.
K was stunned for a moment and accepted the move without any ambiguity.
Li Liang was left messy in the sea breeze.
Dr. Xisen whispered: "Hey, I was so popular back then."
"..."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Liang silently covered Child Li's eyes and coughed lightly.
K, who had already taken off his shirt, spread his hands "innocently" and patted Si Si on the head.
Sisi straightened up, wiped his lower lips, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Uh, we have to continue the experiment, sorry," Dr. Sisson smiled.
"Oh, of course," Sisi touched K's cheek, walked back to the motorboat, leaned over and picked up a leather bag with a metal chain, took out a palm-sized disk, and threw it on the beach.
She tilted her head and stared at the disk, the light and shadow in her eyes changing, and asked softly for a moment: "Doctor, which one do you like?" Then she stuck out her tongue, "Sorry, I forgot you were doing an experiment, um, then Just this one, it’s more comfortable.”
Before he finished speaking, the disc that fell crookedly on the sand expanded instantly like a balloon, and then flowed and spread like a liquid, gradually turning into a hemisphere with a diameter of four meters.
A few seconds later, a strange-looking airship appeared on the beach. It was hemispherical, with the lower part colorful and the upper part a transparent glass cover. There were no wheels on the bottom and it was hovering directly in the air.
Sisi walked up to K, put his arms around his neck, and said gently: "There is my ID on the boat, remember to contact me."
K smiled lovingly.
"Goodbye," Si Si waved his hand as if he still had something to say, jumped on the motorboat, stirred up a wave of sand, returned to the sea, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
The beach finally became quiet.
Li Liang looked K up and down and wondered: "No one stopped you just now, why don't you just give her right where you are..."
"That's right," K shrugged, "Wherever you go, do as the Romans do."
"..."
Li Liang was speechless, turned around and asked: "Doctor, what's wrong with you? What experiment?"
"Oh, I told Si Si that we are conducting a sociological experiment. The theme is 'How can people from the lower city adapt to changes in the social system and the psychological changes in moral aspects in the process if they suddenly come to the upper city'."
K and Li Liang were stunned at the same time.
"Did she believe it?"
"Um."
