Chapter 175

Hao Zhi saw the edge of the earth for the first time. Under the dark space background, the horizon gradually bent into a huge arc. The blue planet was shining like a sapphire embedded in a black velvet curtain.

Compared with the rapidly shrinking earth in the line of sight, the blood moon on the top of his head is growing rapidly. Before he is about to enter the end of the white light, the outline at the bottom of the blood moon is as big as an inverted City, with a vast territory and momentum. Its smooth and flat surface is actually crisscrossed and complex as the internal structure of a watch.

Hao Zhi's eyes darkened. He felt the roar in his ears, but soon calmed down again. The light enveloping him changed from white to soft red. He felt that he had regained gravity and seemed to fall on the floor.

He opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the grid shaped metal overpass under his body. When Hao Zhigang stood up, he felt dizzy and his legs softened and sat on the surface of the overpass.

The "Overpass" under his feet and Wang Yanke is only half a meter wide, like a link suspended in the air. At his feet is a suspended world thirty or forty stories high, and then down is the city!

Hao Zhi slowly understood the main reason for his dizziness. His body was judging up and down according to the direction of gravity, but his vision deceived his senses. Because there were cities around him, he didn't know up and down for a moment, so he felt light headed.

The blood moon is empty! The "city" of the whole blood moon civilization is attached to the interior of this hollow sphere. All the buildings of the city point to the center of the sphere. It looks as if the ground extends infinitely on both sides and rises slowly. Then the city tilts and gradually encircles a head-down world. There are people walking head-down above the head, Various small squares fly between cities, like busy pixels in some kind of video game, cross listed, and then embedded into the city.

The buildings of blood moon are just stacked with cubes. Each cube becomes a unit alone. It can be stacked into a skyscraper hundreds of meters high, or it can be instantly disintegrated into countless flying vehicles, buildings and cars. The boundary has been blurred in this civilization.

Any block unit can be separated from the matrix at any time and combined into a shape with any function as needed. Whether it is a building, square, road or bridge, it is all composed of these pixel like cells, interspersed with crisscross and dense "overpasses", all of which are like metal ribbons, connecting all points inside the matrix, Like an internal line measuring the diameter of a sphere.

Hao Zhi was stunned by the scene in front of him. The "grandeur" and "precision" in all the concepts he understood in the past are now worthless. In this huge hollow sphere, he felt as small as a drop in the sea, like a ant standing on the grass leaves of a football field, raising his head to see the huge steel frame structure at the top of the bird's nest, The huge psychological gap between the and the great civilization made him sweat.

"Welcome, earthman!" in the air, a metal cube suddenly fell down, like a compressed container and an iron magic cube. The corners of the cube were hard, cold and accurate, as sharp as a blade. On it, there was a "man".

Hao Zhi looked at it according to the standard Mandarin. The man stood with his hands crossed and floated outside the overpass. He was almost as tall as Hao Zhi and about one meter eight. But compared with Hao Zhi, he was stronger, his skin was unusually pale, and his surface was full of blood vessels. Those blood vessels stretched out from the skin and disappeared under the skin after countless interweaving, It is like a net like coat covering the whole body. The more strange blood vessels are translucent. You can easily see that there are light spots flashing rapidly, like ionization signals in some neon lights.

Except for the disgusting skin, their body structure is not much different from that of people on earth. Their heads, trunks and limbs are the same, except that their bodies are slightly distorted, their shoulders are lower, their necks are longer and their heads are smaller, which makes their "head" less obvious. From the shoulders up, they are more like the fifth limb, The only difference is that there is a face at the end.

If he stood apart with his hands outstretched, he would be more like a starfish.

"Finally we met..." the "man" reluctantly piled a smile on his face. In fact, he just grinned. He bent his long neck, put his "face" closer to Hao Zhi and looked at him carefully.

Hao Zhi felt scared and disgusted and wanted to hide back, but there was only a half meter wide metal "Overpass" under his feet. He had no place to hide. He wanted to punch the guy in the face, but he couldn't feel the current situation. He had to face back and squint his eyes at the other party.

"Your Mandarin is quite standard!" Wang Yanke behind Hao Zhi suddenly spoke.

"Oh, we know all kinds of human languages on earth like the back of our hands. You can communicate with anyone without obstacles here."

"Even Chinese has been popularized, which shows that you have strong learning ability!" Hao Zhi turned over half of Wang Yanke behind her and held her in front of her chest. She was communicating with each other. She really didn't know what to say.

"We don't need to learn. According to your human concept, we download the required knowledge!" the man smiled hard again. "Please follow me. Our head of state wants to see you."

With that, the cube under his feet leaned forward again and pasted it on the edge of the overpass with an extremely accurate size. Hao Zhi looked down and looked closely, but he didn't hear a little metal collision. They controlled it so accurately!

If you come, you will be at ease. What can you do now? Hao Zhi pinched the nuclear battery hidden in his clothes and wondered if he could blow up the blood moon if he detonated it.

Mr. Da Meng seems to have said that the explosive capacity of this thing can flatten the range of five kilometers. However, the diameter of the blood moon is at least three or four hundred kilometers. Looking from this end, the building overhead is almost only the outline. Can it work?

Hao Zhi muttered in his heart and stepped onto the cube. The thing started silently and led Hao Zhi and the alien to an open area on the other side of the blood moon.

"I've heard of your deeds!" after a quiet moment, the man suddenly said to Hao Zhi.

"Oh?" Hao Zhi wondered, "what are our deeds?"

The alien smiled and suddenly introduced himself and said, "you can call me 27883. This is my name!"

"Use numbers as names? Are you in prison?" Hao Zhi asked strangely.

"According to your concept of earth people, almost. It's much stricter here than your so-called prison," said the man.

"How do you know us?" Hao Zhi asked at the beginning of the topic.

"Oh, well, everything here is open. You fight with us, and all the war information will be shared with everyone. Of course, your heroic performance in this war will also be included," he said, pointing to many points shining in the dark like stars in the passing area, "That's the terminal download. After a work cycle, we can go there freely to download planet information and learn everything we want to know."

"Where to...?" Wang Yanke suddenly asked a key question.

27883 pointed to his head: "of course, it is downloaded to the memory bank. It can be directly connected to the computer through our external neuron system!"

With that, he gently pulled out an exogenous "blood vessel" from his arm. The blood vessel that had been pulled out of the skin didn't shed any blood. The broken end contracted and twitched slightly, and the light spot shone rhythmically.

"Similar to USB interface, isn't it?" Wang Yanke asked.

"Well, it's true! However, my body is relatively old, the download port has shrunk, and the nerve conduction is not particularly sensitive, but I'm lucky. As your leader, I can get 48 points of contribution value. Maybe I can change into a stronger and younger body next shuffle!"

Change your body? Hao Zhi and Wang Yanke were surprised. Do you still have any bodies to change?

The other party obviously saw their doubts and explained with a smile: "Like the communism you people on earth say, we are a higher social form, which can be called symbiosis. In this social form, we share not only resources and food, but also the right to know the information of the whole aircraft carrier planet, and even everyone's body is collective property."

"Even the body is common property?" Hao Zhi didn't understand.

"As individuals, our survival in the Mothership depends on collective supply and random distribution of work. Except that the head of state and the tenth leader in charge of the overall situation are always fixed, everyone is mobile. This is a little similar to your human system. The difference is that you work, change wages, and then eat and live. We work in exchange for 'contribution value', every work After the cycle, we will all connect to the main server, and the head of state and ten elders will adjust according to the order of contribution values recorded in the server. The consciousness of people with high contribution values will be assigned to a healthier and stronger body, like me. Today, I am in the body on 27883. After the next 'shuffle', I may be dismissed because my contribution value increases Carry it to a body before 24500. At that time, if you meet 27883 again, he won't know you... "

"Won't he download the memories you received us today?" Wang Yanke asked.

"Oh, no, we share information, but we don't share memory and consciousness. It's very dangerous for individuals to upload their cognition and consciousness at will, so they are strictly prohibited. For example, if a person wants to commit suicide, if he uploads this dangerous idea to the server and enters everyone's thoughts, it may even threaten the life safety of everyone on the ship, and , even if it is not such a dangerous idea, simply communicating and communicating with each other without obstacles will blur the differences and boundaries between people, erase the creativity and flash points of individuals, and the future of the whole blood moon civilization will be in jeopardy. For example, each of us is like a piece of brightly colored plasticine, but sharing ourselves with each other indefinitely will be harmful Mix everyone into a piece of ash without characteristics. If a person downloads other people's character and consciousness too much, he will go crazy. Can you imagine that a person's body has completely different characters such as happiness and darkness, old and childish, wit and slowness, compassion and optimism? "

"That's......" Hao Zhi seems to understand, but it's Wang Yanke. Her boundless thirst for knowledge makes her have endless questions.

"What will happen to the person with the lowest contribution value among you?"

"The least hardworking people may fall into the body on the verge of death, or even be forcibly transferred."

"Forced transfer deposit?" Wang Yanke was also confused.

"Similar to the death of your human beings, that is, consciousness no longer has a body to rely on, so we have to temporarily transfer it to the main server of the planet. After all, the body is limited, and there are too many consciousness, which is not enough. Only those who contribute to this society can live, and everything else is hard disk I've never been to that place, and I don't know what's inside. Some say it's like heaven, others say it's like hell. In short, no one wants to be the last, so I have to work hard and dare not be lazy. "

"What a cold social system!" Hao Zhi trembled. "If you work hard, you'll live, and if you're lazy, you'll die... Everyone is a nervous screw to ensure the efficient operation of the collective."

"There is no way. You know, we have reached the stage of immortality of consciousness since our evolution. However, if the consciousness of the old life does not die and the new body comes with a new consciousness, it is bound to cause a dead body to have a state where consciousness has no place to store. In order to be fair, only those who have made the most contributions to the society can have it If you are not qualified to enjoy the body, you will be treated as social garbage and cleaned up. In the dark deep space of the universe, survival is the top priority, and collective survival is the premise of individual survival. Therefore, the individual is not important at all! "

"Oh, why did you explain so clearly to us?" Hao Zhi looked at his eyes. The cube had begun to fall into a huge array of countless cubes. In front of the building composed of these cubes, there stood a black metal gate, more than ten meters high. It slowly opened and soft white light appeared inside.

27883 took the lead in entering the door and answered as if in a hurry: "just like your guide on earth, my job today is to explain these to you, so that you can get familiar with the environment and rules you want to survive in the future. After all, you have surrendered the blood moon and will be one of us!"

Hao Zhi followed him and walked into the gate. It was like walking into a dark and empty cinema. It was dark in front of him, but he could judge that it was empty and spacious by the faint light in the corner and dome. Suddenly, a voice came from overhead.

You finally surrendered
