Chapter 1020: Memories from the Void
To be honest, Lu Zhou now feels like he is on a roller coaster.
And it's the kind that climbs to the top of the slope and plants headlong to the bottom of the slope.
After floating in the boundless darkness for an unknown amount of time, suddenly a feeling that seemed to be captured by gravity hit the edge of consciousness, and under the traction of this gravity, a faint light source appeared in Lu Zhou's field of vision.
Gradually, the light source approached.
Close to a place where you can reach out.
Just as Lu Zhou was thinking about what information the system wanted to convey to him, suddenly a huge pulling sensation pulled him towards the faint light source.
As if breaking through the clouds, the moment it crashed into the light source, everything in the field of vision suddenly opened up.
Touch, smell, taste......
All five senses return.
The strong wind blowing in his face made Lu Zhou's eyes subconsciously squint, and it was not until he struggled to overcome the raging air currents that he opened his eyes with difficulty......
Then, he was deeply shocked by what he saw.
"It's ...... Where?! ”
muttered to himself in his heart, and every inch of his pupils was filled with a shocked look, so much so that Lu Zhou even forgot his situation at the moment, and was falling down from an unknown number of kilometers in the sky......
It's a bizarre world.
The endless land is filled with a forest of steel in the truest sense of the word.
The minimalist and homogeneous black obelisk exudes a chilly air, standing like skyscrapers in the empty wasteland. Every inch of the metal-covered earth exudes a metal-specific luster, and every "street" is as steep as a ruler, looking down like a blank chessboard.
If you look at the exterior alone, it looks like a city.
However, looking down from the sky, Lu Zhou could not feel even the slightest breath of belonging to the living.
Not even the feeling that there was ever a living person.
How so?
If you let him live here, I'm afraid he'll go crazy in a few days.
There is no other reason.
It's like a tomb.
It's as if the "tall buildings" themselves are not built for the living, but are tombstones for mourning something.
For some reason, Lu Zhou suddenly remembered Asimov's "Base", the description of the galactic capital "Chuantuo". While the vast majority of the people of the Imperial Capital live underground, living and working in cubicles of a few square meters, the Empire is not without its achievements on the surface, with steel and industrial facilities covering every inch of soil, and the entire planet is less of a planet than a giant man-made object......
It is not clear whether Amosif's future world is as harsh as the one here, but in terms of development, everything in front of him does look like a "Chuantuo" after it was destroyed......
There wasn't much time left for Lu Zhou to think.
The massive gravitational pull dragged him out of the void or something, and threw him to the surface, taking 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 flattening a tomato did not happen.
A gentle force dragged him down, slowing him down before he could get close to the ground.
Feeling the soft power, Lu Zhou's pupils contracted slightly, and a trace of excitement couldn't help but float in his eyes.
"Anti-gravity?!"
"That's not right...... It's not reality here, so I'm going to say anything more. ”
This is the world of consciousness.
Although the system didn't know why it had given him back the five senses that had been obscured, it still didn't change that his body was still on a large fluffy bed at the Krinthia Hotel in St. Petersburg, Russia......
Not to mention technology beyond common sense, even if there is magic, it is not surprising, right?
Just like the VR online game in a science fiction movie, copying the physical theorems in reality in a regular manner will make people feel that something is wrong. Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.
Feet finally touched solid ground.
Not dwelling on the sense of security of returning to the surface, Lu Zhou calmed down a little and began to look around, checking the surrounding environment.
In fact, when he was really in this "city", really 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 is made of the wall, but it is as smooth and steep as a mirror, and there is not even a trace of flaw.
"Peculiar design ......"
Reaching out and touching the mirror-like black wall, a trace of shock suddenly appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
Although his experience is not enough to judge the mirror processing grade of the material by the touch, his intuition tells him that such a large-area polishing and seamless splicing process is almost impossible to achieve with modern industrial technology.
It's not just technology that's two generations ahead.
Of course, the most shocking thing is not this.
In a gravitational environment, it is possible to keep the metal – or the material that appears to be metal – in such a steep shape that it stretches thousands of meters from the surface to the sky...... At least in Lu Zhou's cognition, such materials and engineering technology should not exist on Earth.
Intuition tells Lu Zhou that this should not be entirely a fictional thing in the space of consciousness.
After all, the thing in the inventory is called "Void Memory", not "Void Game" or Void Movie, at least so far, although this broken system has been a little more straightforward when it tricked him, but it is not enough to play false propaganda to deceive him......
The right hand groped on the smooth mirrored surface, and I don't know what switch it touched, and an undetectable gap suddenly opened in the mirror-like metal wall, and soon the large metal plate turned into a rolling square, spreading to the side, making way for a passage.
Looking at this strange scene, Lu Zhou subconsciously hesitated for two seconds.
However, thinking that it was in the consciousness space anyway, even if something went wrong, it would not threaten his body in reality, he still took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to walk in.
The interior of the building is spacious.
Blade-shaped strips of black metal fall from the ceiling more than a dozen meters high and plunge into the floor.
Dots of blue light flickering according to a certain pattern dot the surface of these blade-like metal strips, connected by delicate and steep carved lines.
And this is the only source of light in this dark space.
I don't know why, looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of the host of the server. And the moment he had this association, a more thoughtful and terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Maybe......
The building he walked into was itself a huge computer with countless chips integrated.
In fact, this huge collection of man-made objects, which he mistook for a "city", is itself a huge integrated circuit composed of countless processors, an all-encompassing "city-level", and even a "planet-level" array computer......
After all, even when he came down from 10,000 meters in the air, he didn't really see the boundaries of the city.
“…… It's unbelievable what level of data is needed to process such a huge computer. ”
Whispering in his mouth, Lu Zhou carefully walked through the rows of blade-shaped chip racks towards the depths of the building.
It didn't take long, and Lu Zhou soon came to the area in the center of the suspected building.
It was a circular space with a ceiling much lower than the previous room, only four or five meters high. In the center of the room is a pool of water with a pale blue glow.
Walking to the edge of the pool, Lu Zhou looked down and saw that the pale blue arc did not belong to the pool itself, but was projected from the bottom of the pool.
The mist like a light veil slowly drifted out from the edge of the pool, exuding a biting chill, and the pool water in front of me was obviously only a very shallow layer, but it was rendered by this layer of mist a kind of visual cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
Although he had not undergone rigorous experiments, the experience he had accumulated in the laboratory and the instincts he had exercised told him that it was possible that liquid helium at extremely low temperatures was flowing here.
As for the role......
It is probably used to cool down 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, suddenly he vaguely saw something from under the pool.
“…… Is there something hiding under this? ”
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 to me.
Want to take it out and take a look?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was out of control.
It's just a conscious body.
Even if it hurts, it doesn't affect the real world......
Thinking like this, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind, took out all the courage of his body, and did something stupid that he would never do for the second time in his life - he put his hands into the liquid helium that exuded a biting chill.
Almost the moment his hands touched the liquid surface.
The whole pool of water seemed to come to life, and it was beating wildly.
"It's a superfluid!"
The instantaneously vaporized liquid helium formed a layer of vapor like a glove of gas on the surface of his hands due to the Leidenfrost effect, blocking the surging cold.
However, it is clear that this state of affairs cannot last long.
There was no time to be surprised, Lu Zhou mustered up all his strength, gritted his teeth, endured the pain that tore his soul apart, and took out the cube that sank at the bottom of the pool.
"Ah!!h
The cube is out of the water.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting on the ground, quickly moved away from the edge of the pool.
Looking at the tumbling and jumping water, he let out a sigh of relief, ignoring his completely frozen hands and looking at the cube that he was holding in his hand.
By the faint light that poured from the ceiling, he could barely see that the cube was golden, and on the mirror-like surface, he could see the same cut-out patterns as the blade-like servers outside, and the tiny dots of light dotted on the surface like stars.
If you get closer, you can hear a subtle beep coming from the cube.
At this time, Lu Zhou finally remembered where he had seen this thing.
Although it was not golden, it was pitch black, as if it had been burnt......
Almost at the same time, a huge gravitational force suddenly hit him from behind without warning.
As if under the gravitational pull, the surrounding images were cut apart like fragments, falling apart in the infinite void......
"Is it time?"
Before he could even let out a sigh of emotion, the golden-colored cube shattered into countless points of light, and along with his scattered fragmented body, it was sucked away by the invisible abyss.
