Dazzling.
Brilliant.
This is the first impression of the high-rise world.
Light gold and pure white interweave, reflecting low-key and luxury.
All buildings are covered with a faint white light, like a soft moonlight veil.
The entire world seems to be carved from pure gemstones, embellished with small amounts of gold leaf.
The criss-crossing tracks linger in the sky.
These tracks connect three different worlds.
The tram passed through the high altitude of the middle world. Below was a place where eight races gathered. Thick walls hundreds of meters high isolated the boundaries of the eight races.
Under the high wall are huge iron gates, allowing certain exchanges between races.
Lu Wen sat by the window.
The old glass window was pushed open by him.
The wind is very strong at high altitude.
Look further ahead.
That is the high-level world.
The thicker high wall, hundreds of meters high, seems to be to block the mythical giant and isolate the entire upper world from the middle world.
On both sides of the high wall, there are two different colors.
The inside is pure white and light gold.
On the outside, there is the dilapidation and decay of the eight races.
This majestic high wall seems to have isolated the spread of dark red rust, blocking out countless poverty and decay.
Looking at it from a distance, it's quite shocking.
"Floating City?"
Lu Wen frowned slightly.
This was his first impression of the high-level world.
It is so similar to the Floating City, as if the same architects were used.
This white is deliberately noble.
There are also tracks laid all over the sky.
From time to time, there are flying vehicles spraying flames across the sky, but there are not as many as floating cities.
There is no need to balance the air pressure here, so there is no double-layered canopy, but a high wall of hundreds of meters replaces the original canopy, isolating the lower world.
"Welcome to the world of pure humans."
"This is the center of heaven..."
“…”
In this way, it was openly declared to be a world of pure humans, allowing pure humans to occupy the most perfect area.
Familiar tone.
The residents of the floating city also often call that city the city of heaven.
That question was still lingering in Lu Wen's mind.
Is there really no racial-level rebellion in this world
No one has ever shouted loudly that the princes and generals should be rich, and then bring other races to replace the dominance of the pure human race
"The great DA will lead us to final victory, and the Kingdom of Heaven will eventually come... "
Outside the car window, a floating advertisement interrupted Lu Wen's thoughts.
The ad showed an elderly human in a suit.
This person... Lu Wen was too familiar with him.
Yin Long.
DA
Dragon, dragon
This code name is quite interesting.
In the advertisement, behind Yin Long is a tall building.
The entire building is covered in pure white, as if it is made of pure ceramics. At the top is a huge icon of a missing moon.
Bright moon.
One of the three companies that rule the underworld.
"Yin Long, this old guy, actually has such a big industry underground."
Even now, people in the surface world still believe in Yin Long's death, which he directed and acted.
"Exposing himself like this, without worrying that his identity will be exposed when the two worlds meet? Or...has he gained enough trust from the residents here?"
Lu Wen frowned, pinched his chin, and carefully looked at the Yin Long in the advertisement.
Is it a real person this time
In his doubts, the tram has already entered the upper world.
Seeing it more clearly now.
Pure humans in the high-level world also like to wear white clothes, live a leisurely life, and walk leisurely on the streets. Occasionally, they can see one or two people of other races, but they are all dressed in white.
"Dear guest, we will arrive at our destination in ten minutes."
"Um."
The track begins to lose altitude.
Compared with the white surroundings, this dilapidated old tram looks a little out of place.
The destination is at the edge of the high-rise world, just a station responsible for cargo transportation.
ten minutes later.
arrive.
Lu Wen got off the bus and became a member of the high-rise world.
He put on the white robe prepared for him by the waiter, and then left the platform through a special passage.
Outside the platform.
The streets are wide and green plants decorate the whole world in white.
Since it is at the edge of the high-rise world, you can see the thick high wall hundreds of meters away not far away when you look up.
A huge shadow is cast on the outside, the area of the eight races.
There is constant traffic on the streets.
There is a small book kiosk not far from the platform.
Lu Wen walked over and found that there was no one guarding it and it was an automatic vending point.
So after paying a certain fee, he took away a book placed in the book kiosk.
[Autobiography of Dragon]
[Legendary life]
[The bright moon shines again]
[…]
A relatively thick book.
The cover of the book is a Yin Long pattern with many words printed on it. Some sentences are relatively average to read.
"More than eighty years ago, I was born into a not-so-rich family..."
"When I was a child, I looked at the dim artificial sun above my head and asked my teacher when we could see the real sun. The teacher was silent at that time..."
"Later I went to the ground alone..."
“…”
Lu Wen quickly flipped through the entire book.
The level of nonsense contained in it is no less than that of the so-called space fleet descending on the ground.
What it roughly says is: Yin Long has had great ambitions since he was a child, determined to let the residents of the surface world see the light again, so he went undercover in the surface world to find out the strength of the surface city, and became one of the celebrities on the surface. Later, he returned to the underground and entered He served in the already weakened Haoyue Company, led Haoyue to glory again, and provoked the humanoid machine riot that occurred on the ground not long ago...
Here in the high-level world, bionic people prefer to be called humanoid machines.
Do the residents here really believe it
Yin Long was born in the surface world, and his father was Yin Mu, the first Blue Chief Engineer. This is definitely true.
A00 also said that after she awakened, she saw Yin Long talking to himself in the warehouse laboratory as a child.
Those soliloquies exposed Yin Long’s identity as a reborn person to A00.
It seems that this book is very popular in the high-end world.
This old guy still has some writing skills, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become a best-selling author in both worlds.
This small vending book kiosk is filled with Yin Long’s autobiography.
So the purpose of compiling this false autobiography is...
"To gain recognition from the residents of this world?"
Lu Wen silently put the book back.
He looked up.
The sky is filled with light blue projections, videos and advertisements.
From time to time, Yin Long can be seen appearing in a video.
There are interviews, press conferences, speeches...
This old guy is both a businessman and a star in this world.
The leader of Haoyue, the legendary DA.
His legendary life has been incorporated into school textbooks, making him the idol and goal of countless children.
Lu Wen shook his head, Haoyue was not his current target.
Among these three companies, the biggest breakthrough should be Fanxing.
Almost the entire mixed zone's supplies come from Fanxing. The management of this company is greedy and makes no secret of it. This is the breakthrough.
So when Lu Wen sent Little Ant to the ground a few days ago.
Said something specifically.
[Lack of money]
The research goals of all three companies seem to be immortality.
But the research directions are different.
"The leader of Yao Ling is codenamed RA. He has never appeared in public. This company is mainly engaged in mechanical immortality projects..."
"Haoyue is Yin Long. He mainly studies genetic engineering, starting with immortal animals..."
As for the purpose of Lu Wen's trip, the stars are shining.
The business of this company is really as numerous as the stars.
A little bit of everything.
Countless departments, including machinery, immortal animals, special plants, ideas of biological organs and replacements, further exploration of cryonics...
As long as it has something to do with eternal life, a project department has been set up to conduct research.
The staff is complex.
The top management of this company also has the lowest proportion of purely human beings.
"According to the information Ivan gave me, there are a total of 14 powerful figures in Fanxing, only nine of which are purely human. As for the most mysterious leader, the legendary SA, he has never appeared. There are rumors that the person with SA, which owns half of the shares of Fanxing and has the greatest power, has been sleeping... "
[Can humans sleep?]
Lu Wen has been thinking about this issue since the last time No. 3 was honest.
No. 3 said that the flesh and blood bodies of the nine of them were all in a dormant state, with their body functions reduced to the lowest level, almost as if they were dead, in anticipation of the advancement of medical technology one day...
This is indeed the case in some science fiction movies.
Lu Wen didn't believe it at the time.
Of course I don’t believe it now.
It's almost like death, it should be... really dead, so cold.
He turned around and looked at the busy streets, then walked step by step towards the center of the city.
It's a long process and he's in no rush.
Just think of it as traveling.
"There are no floating buildings, all aerial tracks are not magnetic levitation, and the flying vehicles are only the simplest designs and cannot switch modes. Although it is like a floating city, there are still some gaps..."
There are many tall buildings covered with white building materials.
With pure white as the base color, any color looks very dazzling.
Mostly blue and light gold.
"Except for the geographical location and the weird color, this is actually a modern big city... "
Lu Wen didn't go far before he saw the bionic man.
Judging from its appearance, it should be fourth or fifth generation, and its appearance is no different from that of humans.
Blue light flashes on the arm.
"The three companies all have bionic human business. It is obvious that some senior executives know the ground world well and understand that the history here is false. They may know that Yin Long is a pure ground human race, but they did not stand up to expose Yin Long. The story, why?”
Benefit relationship
Or is it because Yin Long's storytelling ability is so strong that everyone believes him
You won’t be a fool if you sit at the top.
Lu Wen thought while moving forward.
His appearance is just that of a relatively handsome pure human, which is quite common in the high-level world, so no one noticed anything unusual.
"Pedestrians on both sides of the street walked slowly, and there was no anxious look on their faces."
“Along the way, most of what I saw was related to services and entertainment.”
“…”
A society with high welfare.
Where do such high benefits come from
The more than one million people in the floating city were lying on the ground sucking blood from tens of millions of people.
As for this place... it's probably only supplied by other races besides the pure human race.
Evening comes quickly.
The city is too big, and Lu Wen is still quite far away from the center.
So he stopped a taxi.
"Go to Star Park."
"OK."
The driver is a man of few words and concentrates on driving.
Lu Wen likes this kind of character.
Talking too much can easily reveal your secrets.
Some drivers in the ground world chatter endlessly from the moment they get in the car until they get off the bus. Sometimes they don't know how to respond and they feel embarrassed.
The street lights on both sides of the road gradually turned on.
This white world in the dark adds a bit of prosperity.
Fanxing Park is located on the side of Fanxing Company Building and is an open park.
The night was lively.
Many pure human families will take a walk here, as well as scattered other races and bionic people.
Ivan has always wanted a complete android body for research.
It's a pity that the high-rise world cannot allow this technology to appear in the mixed zone.
"Here we are, right here."
"Good work."
Lu Wen paid and got off.
The tall building is right in front of you.
Dots of bright white light flash alternately on the outer layer of the building, like distant stars.
The residents of this world may not know what a real starry night looks like from birth to death.
Of course, the ground world is actually similar.
There was nothing but dark clouds over the city of Mowu.
Lu Wen felt that if he had free time in the future, he could suggest that Wei Boyan blow up all the big chimneys on the edge of the city, restore nuclear power generation or build large dams. District 15 would at least have a large inland sea. If there is no terrain, create terrain and large-scale water conservancy projects. It can also solve certain employment problems...
"Ivan said that if you wander around this park, you may encounter someone who resells Fanxing temporary employee certificates. After you get the certificate, you can go in once and find someone familiar with the inside to purchase a small amount of supplies. If you need to purchase a large amount, you have to do it like him. This has something to do with it..."
This company is pretty weird.
With a temporary employee ID card, you can enter many places.
The top management seems to have tacitly approved of this behavior.
They can get a profit from the materials sold in this way.
"In order to make money, even this method is allowed. What's the use of making so much money? If you don't take it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death..."
Lu Wen shook his head.
He has little interest in money.
He is only interested in spending money.
Such a company with so many flaws can actually become one of the three major companies that dominate the world.
It can only be said that desire is indeed a major driving force for production and progress.
Lu Wen stood by the park and looked up at Fanxing Building.
For some reason... he always felt that this building looked very familiar.
It's like I've seen it before.
But there is no relevant content in the memory chip.
"This should be my first time seeing you."
My vision suddenly started to blur.
Those flickering light spots, walking figures, street lights on one side of the street... all began to appear as double images.
It seemed like the whole world was shaking.
Very familiar feeling.
It's memories.
The last time memories suddenly came to me was when I was talking to the little painter.
At the Lake Bottom Research Institute over in Baker City, Number One said that he had already had more than a dozen intermittent memories surfaced.
Lu Wen frowned, lowered his head slightly, and pressed his forehead hard with his right hand, as if something was struggling there, trying to break free.
A gust of cold night wind blew by.
Dark, deep.
It's still that humid place.
"Tick tock...tick tock..."
Hard and cold stone wall.
Water drops fall.
The light dimmed.
Narrow passage with no end in sight.
"Da..."
"Da..."
It was still the sound of heavy footsteps.
This memory has more content.
Some impatient voices could be heard vaguely in my ears, far away.
Those people seemed to be looking for something.
"Experimental Subject No. 0 wakes up, breaks the container... and releases Experimental Subject No. 1 to No. 9 during the escape process..."
"Experimental Subject No. 9 is missing..."
…
Good night, fellow book friends!
