Kyle Technology.
Landing Compartment No. 39.
Inside the silver-gray oval building with a sense of technology, what is in complete contrast is a scene that looks like an insect mother's nest. Densely packed "insect eggs" are neatly arranged in the building, flashing with dark light. .
These "worm egg"-like capsules are none other than the landing module of Dream Zero.
Through the capsule wall, you can see employees wearing Kyle Technology uniforms inside.
The liquid in the landing cabin soaked and wrapped their entire bodies. From their heads and body limbs, many complex wiring sockets could also be seen, with tubes inserted into them to connect them to the landing cabin.
Whether it is a liquid or a plug tube, they are all designed to better log into Dream Zero and increase the synchronization rate with Dream Zero, in other words, to enhance the immersion.
The stronger the sense of immersion, the better you can operate your body and exert your power in Dream Zero, just like playing games requires a good network cable.
But correspondingly, the price of doing so is
I saw an indicator light in front of all the landing cabins. In the cabin, which was originally a "green" fluorescent light, suddenly ten capsules began to flash red, and it became more and more rapid.
Some of them only flashed for two or three seconds before going out, some for five or six seconds, and the longest one lasted for nine seconds, but eventually they went out and the indicator light completely dimmed.
"Director William, it was detected that the biological signals of ten members of the 39-A Explorer Team, including the captain, disappeared almost at the same time. Staff have gone to their landing module to check, and they have all been confirmed dead."
"Include 39-A into the abnormal death observation group and analyze the cause of death immediately."
"Yes, the data model is being built."
Unlike the previous "Insect Nest" building, this one looks like a monitoring and control room. What is projected on the huge screen in the center is the Zero that Kyle Technology has figured out and drawn by itself through the years of relying on explorers. Underneath the fantasy world map are many scientific researchers in white coats, operating something on a virtual computer.
William, the Kyle Technology executive who was responsible for connecting Liao Ji and other Magic City scholars, was standing in front of the big screen, frowning and staring closely.
After his order was issued, the world map on the big screen immediately continued to shrink, and finally stopped at the location of the Witch's Territory.
"Manager William, after the analysis, we have ruled out the influence of the dream force and the evil monster. According to the system model, the area where the 39-A team is located has a high probability of being hit by a natural disaster of level B or above."
After hearing the words "Class B natural disaster", William frowned even deeper. He quickly asked: "Are there other teams around 39-A?"
"There are three still operating within a range of fifty kilometers." The researcher tapped his fingers on the virtual keyboard and answered quickly.
"Send a natural disaster warning and ask them to leave quickly."
"yes."
But before the researchers below could carry out William's order, another person in charge of communications suddenly stood up and shouted to Manager William.
"Director! Team 39-A still has a message for us. It was definitely sent one second before the team's biological signal disappeared! And it used the most advanced red signal!"
Red signal?
William's expression immediately changed when he heard this.
Kyle Technology stipulates that when the Explorer team discovers information that is valuable to the company, four colors, white, green, blue, and red, will be used to indicate the importance of the information to facilitate the command and dispatch room to quickly process it according to importance.
After so many years, the red signal only appeared once. After that, the branding technology was born in Kyle Technology. It was a huge breakthrough for the entire company and the exploration of Dream Zero.
So now that the red signal appears again, how can William not be excited.
He immediately asked someone to project the death summons of Team 39-A onto the big screen. Then, the three stories and murals in the cellar appeared in front of William and the Kyle Technology researchers.
Although the picture quality is very blurry and it can be seen that the transmission is very hasty, it is enough.
"Is this Zero's memory of the past?"
"So Zero, the supreme omnic life form, was actually just a scrapped maid android? "
"No, this may just be a metaphor, but there is no doubt that Zero's starting point is very low. The reason why he can grow into a high-level body is all thanks to the young scientists in the story."
"So what are the young scientists hinting at? Could it be..."
"Great Emperor! Who else can there be besides the Ashes Emperor!"
"The maid and the young scientist in the story fell in love. Does this imply that five hundred years ago, only "Zero" was the orthodox wife of the Ashes Emperor? And the other four in the back, especially the witch, are just because of jealousy."
"Oh my God! The truth about the cause of the emperor's death five hundred years ago and the witch's trick. If this information is released, the entire "ancient science" academic world will be shocked!"
"No! Not only ancient science, but also the entire world structure may suddenly change! After all, Zero is the emperor's lover, which means that our Machinery Alliance is the orthodoxy of the Ashes Empire!"
The researchers in the command center were already in a mess, whispering among each other, and exclaiming with emotion and exclamation from time to time.
At this time, Manager William had no time to care about other people, because even he himself was so excited that his hands were shaking.
The value of this message that Team 39-A wanted to pass on before he died was so great that it was enough for him to rise higher in the company and become no longer just a minister. He had worked diligently for so many years and served Dream Zero was so worried that it was finally time to reap the rewards.
Of course, after William calmed down quickly, he did not forget to issue other instructions.
"Stop issuing natural disaster warnings. Let the four teams within fifty kilometers immediately put down all their work and rush to the area of Team 39-A as quickly as possible to investigate. At the same time, five more teams will be transferred from the "Dragon's Nest" Team, let them land in the "Witch Territory" area to stand by and be ready for support at any time. "
"Manager William, we haven't figured out the power and duration of the natural disaster yet, just in case"
"Do as I say and tell those teams that this is a special mission and their salary during the operation will be calculated as three times. If there are still discoveries, their employee levels will be determined according to the situation, up to three consecutive levels. "
"Understood Chief."
No researcher dared to question William's decision. After all, the unlucky guy named Famas who questioned him last time was taken away by law enforcement the next day for "leaking company secrets" and other more than a dozen crimes. The consequences One can imagine.
What's more, even they were touched and envied by the rewards given by William. Salary and other things were secondary. The main thing was the improvement of employee level, which brought various benefits, conveniences, powers, etc., which could make their families happy. Even future generations will enjoy the blessings.
This may also explain why so many employees are willing to sign contracts with the company and risk their lives to enter Dream Zero to explore for the company.
It also explains why Team 39-A, in the face of a natural disaster, clearly held on to the biological signal of the last captain for nine seconds before going out. If this time was used to "log out", there should be hope for escape. , but he chose to sacrifice himself and use this time to deliver information.
Obviously this is not about how loyal the captain is to the company, but about how loyal the captain is to the company. It is about the captain knowing that if he logs out without any information and no data as proof, he may have a chance of survival, but his team must have died in vain. .
And if the company receives these important intelligence data, even if they die, at least their wives, parents, and children who are still alive in reality will receive not only the pension from the company, but also rewards for important information. Judging from the weight of this information, it can at least ensure that they have food and clothing for a lifetime.
This may be the last effort he, the captain, can make for their 39-A team, or it may be some kind of repentance and compensation.
