Walking along the walkway between the building and the metal guardrail, it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the entrance and exit of the building. They saw that the exit of the main entrance, the door to the outside world, was slowly closing. Ma Tao Several people arrived and saw that the metal door had been closed.
At the door control next to them, a purple figure hurriedly ran into the building the moment it saw Ma Tao and others. Judging from the figure, it should be a woman.
"Someone is there! Stop!" my sister shouted and chased after the woman.
The woman ran fast, and my sister's movements were not slow, and her reactions were even faster. Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi followed closely behind her. The moment the woman was about to close the electronic door, my sister reached out and caught the woman. On her wrist, her fingers could never press the electronic button on the wall. This was a young woman with fair complexion. When Sister R grabbed her, there was no panic on her face, and she didn't show the slightest expression. She just turned her head and looked straight. He glanced at Sister R slyly and allowed himself to be caught without saying a word.
Then Xiao Jinzi rushed up and directly put the muzzle of the armor-piercing cannon under the woman's chin, glared at her fiercely and said: "Run! If you run again, I will blow your head off! Tell me! Who are you!" "
The sister holding the wrist of the woman in purple frowned, carefully looked at the woman in front of her for two seconds, and then said: "She is not a human, she is a robot."
"What?" Xiao Jinzi felt that his brain was not enough today. Why did he end up making trouble for a long time and he was actually threatening a machine? But then again, there were too many robots he met today. Well, besides, the young woman in front of me, no matter her skin color or appearance, can't be seen as a machine at all, and she doesn't have the fake feeling of a robot at all.
"Are you sure?" Ma Tao also hesitated. After all, the young woman in purple clothes in front of him didn't look like a robot.
"She has no pulse and no vital signs, but she has radio transmission." My sister nodded with certainty and looked at the young woman in purple in front of her.
Ma Tao did not doubt his sister's judgment at all. He looked at the young woman again and said, "Can you speak?"
The young woman in purple turned her head and glanced at Ma Tao, but still did not speak.
"Why bother so much? It doesn't matter if it's a machine or not. If you don't talk, it's useless. Just dismantle it." Xiao Jinzi was about to take action as he spoke. Of course, although this kid sounded very impatient and cursed, The armor-piercing cannon in his hand hit the woman's chin hard twice, but did not fire directly.
Zhizhi~呲~
The originally open password door behind them suddenly moved and closed directly before the three of them could react. With a squeaking sound, the air-tight door to the outside world was closed and the pressure was released. The three of them subconsciously glanced back. , Ma Tao turned his head and reacted suddenly, and hurriedly turned back to stare at the young woman in purple clothes. Fortunately, his sister kept holding on to the arm of the woman who might be a robot, and the young woman in purple clothes had no intention of running away. intention.
"Did you do it?" Xiao Jinzi was looking at the young woman in purple, but he also realized that her arm was grabbed by Sister R. It couldn't be her, which means it was someone else, or maybe this airtight door had something When the time limit is turned on, it will automatically close when the time is up. However, there is still a high possibility that there are others here. After all, the building here looks very huge from the outside world.
"Please believe us, we don't mean any harm." As if she had received some kind of authorization, the young woman in purple, who had no expression on her face and no luster in her eyes, suddenly opened her mouth and faced Ma Tao, with a kind smile on her lips. .
"With all due respect, how can we believe your words? To be honest, there is no technical content at all." The door was closed. Ma Tao calmed down for a moment, but was not in a hurry. After all, after entering, in a sense , which is much better than not coming in. He just regarded what the young woman in purple in front of him said as the most ordinary conversation, and he didn't expect to get anything out of her. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the real owner of this place is They are waiting for them inside.
The young woman in purple still maintained a charming smile and did not explain Ma Tao's answer. She continued: "I am indeed a robot. My name is Saddam. My duty is to take care of the doctor's life." , the doctor's research is very outstanding, he is waiting for you in the back room, please come with me."
While speaking, the beautiful young woman named Saddam made a gesture of invitation, but her wrist was still clenched in Sister R's hand, which caused her movements to falter slightly. At this moment , Sister R let go of her.
Saddam, the young woman in purple, raised her head and gestured. Then everyone saw that opposite the sealed door, there was a camera probe in an inconspicuous position. At this moment, the probe was facing everyone. Thinking about it, the doctor should be passing through this camera. Watch them.
"Doctor? What doctor?" Xiao Jinzi asked.
"Dr. Qi was not a doctor originally, but an assistant in this institute. Before the great destruction, many of humanity's top scientific researchers sealed themselves here to study weapons that could fight Noah. In a blink of an eye, nearly a hundred years later, the original All the PhDs are dead, and only the youngest Dr. Qi is still alive, making him the only doctor in the entire institute." Regarding this question, the young robot Saddam did not shy away from answering.
Everyone walked through the long and narrow corridor. On both sides were various electronic equipment, microcomputer control systems and ecological cabins with glass covers. There were not only flowers and trees, but also many small animals. Ma Tao was even in one of them. In the ecological cabin, I saw a tiger that more than 99% of people in the world have never seen. I also saw a dense school of fish and numerous marine life in an underwater tank. The scene in front of me not only surprised Ma Tao , Xiao Jinzi who was following him felt as if he had entered another world. With his eyes wide open, he attached one ecological cabin to another. If it were not separated by a super protective glass cover, this kid would have wanted to rush in directly.
"That's a tiger...and a shark!! Oh my god, this is so unbelievable. No one would believe this if you say it outside. Is this all true?" The dazzling array of creatures simply blew my mind. Eyes of gold.
"Of course it's true. Carnivores eat herbivores to maintain excess ecological balance. Herbivores eat plants, and the excrement of all animals replenishes the nutrients of plants. The entire research institute has a perfect recycling system that can do this. Self-sufficient and does not require external supplies, Dr. Qi has been living in this research institute. Counting the time, nearly fifty years have passed." As they walked, Saddam, the young woman in purple, introduced the situation of the research institute.
"Doesn't that mean this is a paradise?" Ma Tao said, looking at a prairie wolf that had just hunted down an antelope and was biting its neck.
】
"You can't say that. If you are in a secret place, you will be found." When they came to an electronic door, Saddam, the young woman in purple, entered the password, the electronic door opened, and everyone continued to walk in.
This time, everyone entered a place full of various mechanical equipment. As the door opened, the deafening noise of the huge machinery and equipment was instantly transmitted to everyone's eardrums. Fortunately, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi They all have golden crowns, which automatically filter out the huge noise from the outside world. However, it is impossible to communicate by language in such an environment. Ma Tao made a warning sign to Xiao Jinzi next to him. With the gesture, the latter nodded, understanding the sign, and clenched the weapon in his hand.
In the entire area, there are huge air conditioning and ventilation systems, power input equipment and continuous rumbling mechanical noise. It can be inferred that this should be the equipment room that provides all power and energy sources for the entire institute. Saddam led the three people through After passing here, she came to an electronic door again. This time, she moved her head slightly closer to the door, and the electronic door opened with a click. Thinking about it, it should be a facial recognition or child hole recognition system door.
As everyone filed in, the electronically sealed door behind them was closed again, and the noisy mechanical equipment disappeared. It can be seen that the sound insulation effect of this mere door is very good.
This time, everyone entered a space full of display screens and equipment. Looking around, they could even see images of the arsenal on many screens. From this, we can know that when they first entered the arsenal, The feeling of being watched was not wrong.
"The doctor's latest achievement is the development of weapons. Next, you can see the power of simulated weapons." Saddam, the young woman at the door, turned around and looked at the three people with a kind smile, and then led the three people to continue walking inside.
Passing by all kinds of strange equipment, it didn't take long before we came to a very vast research room with various large equipment that Ma Tao couldn't name. The most eye-catching thing was the wall. The walls are covered with a variety of individual combat weapons, from the simplest cold weapon machetes to alloy blades, from miniature palm pistols weighing only a hundred grams to giant anti-tank sniper guns weighing hundreds of kilograms. They are densely packed on the walls. There were no less than a few hundred weapons, but all the weapons were separated by a glass. Xiao Jinzi walked in front of a heavy sniper gun that was more than two meters long, secretly stretched out his hand and knocked on the glass twice. The fingers with steel claws tapped on the glass but made no sound. It can be seen that the transparent glass in front of him is actually not real glass, but an unknown material. Xiao Jinzi returned to the scene with curiosity. I knocked hard twice, but still no sound came out.
"That is a high-permeability carbon fiber plate, nearly ten centimeters thick. It can effectively absorb energy and hinder the spread of sound. Even the most powerful main gun cannot easily penetrate it." A slightly hoarse old voice said from the front came, and saw an old man with a thin face wearing a white scientific research uniform walking slowly towards them with his hands behind his back. That was because years and time had left him with wrinkled skin and deep-set eye sockets to tell everyone what was happening in front of him. The old man, who was already in his prime, was about to enter the final journey of his life. Only the eyes exposed in the sunken eye sockets still carried fierce momentum and strength.
"Dr. Qi" Saddam, the young woman in purple, bowed slightly and saluted the old man.
"Impossible. Since this thing is so strong and mounted on a chariot, wouldn't it be invincible!" Xiao Jinzi objected: "Don't lie to us that you don't know anything."
"That's because the high-permeability fiberboard cannot be bent, nor can it be carved with grooves like the armor of a tank. Moreover, the front of the high-permeability fiberboard is very hard and strong, but the back is very fragile." said the skinny Dr. Qi He glanced at Xiao Jinzi, then slowly walked towards them.
"Like Rupert's Tears?" After all, Xiao Jinzi knows a lot, and he also knows that all substances in this world have a set of rules that complement each other.
"It can be understood this way." Dr. Qi said as he stepped in front of everyone. Then he stretched out his hand and slid his palm over a metal pillar next to him. The ground under everyone's feet began to move forward little by little. The ground under your feet is actually movable, which makes people feel very surprised.
"What are Rupert's Tears?" Ma Tao asked his sister beside him in a low voice.
The tadpole-shaped glass teardrops formed by "naturally dropping molten glass into ice water under gravity" are commonly known as Rupert's tears. Surprisingly, this kind of glass tears have wonderful physical properties. The teardrops themselves are much smaller than Rupert's tears. Generally, glass is hard and can withstand a few pounds of pressure without breaking. It can even withstand bullet strikes from the front. However, if you grab its slender tail and apply just a little pressure, the whole glass will burst into pieces. It exploded in an instant and completely shattered. "As a sister who possesses the most extensive knowledge of electronic machinery in the world, she did not appear confused because Ma Tao asked this slightly ignorant question. After all, this kind of relatively partial knowledge is also Not everyone can master it.
"So magical?" Ma Tao was speechless after hearing this, and thought to himself, everything in this world is really magical.
The floor of the elevator moved slowly under their feet, and finally, everyone was sent to the door of a large laboratory. The skinny old man was the first to walk towards the door of the laboratory in front. As people entered, there was a burst of spray from both sides of the door. The gas then reflected purple light in all directions, circled around the human body twice and then disappeared.
"What are you doing? Are you checking us?" At this point, everything seemed a bit beyond comprehension to Ma Tao.
"Disinfection," Xiao Jinzi said, and took the lead to walk into the laboratory. Since entering this research institute, everything inside has firmly attracted his attention. Countless equipment, machinery, and technological products are all made by him. What he is obsessed with, standing outside the laboratory now, he can already see the more sophisticated instruments in the laboratory.
After disinfection, everyone finally logged into the core area of the entire institute.
"The outside world... what is it like now? How many humans... still exist?" Arriving at a control desk, Dr. Qi sighed and slowly opened the topic, as if he had not been able to communicate with others for a long time. When speaking, the pronunciation is already a bit non-standard, but fortunately it does not affect the recognition. After all, there is a robot here that can talk to it. ?????????????????? There was no one to talk to.
"After the great destruction, human life resources have basically been occupied by Noah, and the areas where they can move are very scarce. However, the confrontation with Noah has never stopped." Ma Tao does not belong to this world, and he does not now. There are too many methods to describe, and there is a lot he doesn't know about this world.
"Noah..." When these two words were mentioned, the old man's eyes first showed a trace of doubt, as if he had forgotten something, but soon he thought about it and continued: "That is to say... Humanity... is not extinct yet... there are still many... humans... not machines..." As he spoke, Dr. Qi glanced at Sister R standing next to Ma Tao, and then sighed again.
"Human beings will not give up on themselves," Xiao Jinzi said.
Dr. Qi glanced back at him, and then activated a button beside him. In the center of the ground, a square virtual projection rose up, accompanied by scenes of human beings' past life. Then Noah launched a great destruction, and soon Then, the virtual image of human beings completely disappearing from the earth.
"It seems that Noah's plan has not succeeded after all..." Looking at the world after the demise of mankind on the virtual projection, Dr. Qi smiled at first, and then a drop of crystal water appeared on his thin cheek.
"This is the appearance of the new earth based on the calculations of the people who hid here after the great destruction. It is said that it was the result after Noah wiped out 7.5 billion people in the world." The old man stared at the picture on the virtual projection, shaking his head and sighing. Come on.
"This is the fifth year since human beings disappeared. The roads on the earth have completely disappeared into the green. The surviving animals in the zoo, including lions, tigers and even rhinos, have already settled in the city. The city squares in various centers have become The picture in front of him was an emerald green world. The skinny old man seemed to be immersed in it and introduced the world inside.
Then the painting style changed, and another scene full of seawater appeared in the virtual projection. The old man continued: "Twenty years after the disappearance of human beings, the sea level began to rise. Without human flood control, some low-lying cities could easily Disappeared into the vast ocean.”
Immediately afterwards, the style of the painting changed, time passed, and the picture changed faster. The old man continued: "25 years after the disappearance of human beings, the city is completely covered by plants, and nature is erasing it bit by bit with its amazing repair ability. Traces of human beings. In the fiftieth year since the disappearance of human beings, the cars that once raced on the streets have been corroded and rusted and turned into a pile of scrap metal. The remaining buildings are the last signs of human civilization and the first sign of the disappearance of human beings. Hundreds of years, it has coexisted with humans for 125 years. After losing humans, the Brooklyn Bridge could not survive even a hundred years. As the copper cables gradually broke, the bridge deck began to twist and sway, and finally collapsed, one after another symbolic buildings Things return to dust and are stored in libraries. The books that bring together human civilization will disappear under the erosion of fungi. On the contrary, those extremely stupid stone carving civilizations can be preserved forever. In the 150th year of the disappearance of human beings, cities The ground above the tunnel began to collapse, and the skyscrapers that remained strong were entangled with vines, attracting countless birds and small animals, forming a unique ecological landscape. During this period, the number of marine species began to explode. Progress, without pollution and fishing, marine life flourished again at an alarming rate. In just one hundred and fifty years, the civilization passed down from generation to generation by humans has been wiped out. Next, the earth officially entered the era of great collapse, and countless Human buildings reached their final end and turned into dust and stones with loud bangs."
The picture on the virtual projection finally settled on such a fragment, and Dr. Qi's words also stopped at this moment.
