The night breeze is slightly cool.
I don’t know if it was affected by the death wave disaster, but the autumn in January of the fourth year was colder than the previous year. The temperature even in the underground city was only 16 degrees.
Sumo stood up and walked slowly towards the only high wardrobe in the office.
Going to the bar to join in the fun, naturally you can’t wear this special hunting suit that you originally prepared for the gambling fight.
But when he gently opened the closet door, the scene in front of him made people a little stunned.
The wardrobe looks like an ordinary one, but there is a mystery hidden inside. The space has been expanded to ten times its size, nearly twenty square meters, and turned into a small cloakroom.
As the closet door opens, rows of hidden spotlights quietly light up, softly lighting up the interior.
Facing the closet door is a large full-length mirror. The mirror surface is clear and flawless. It can be seen that someone cleans it regularly.
On both sides of the mirror are transparent glass cabinets filled with all kinds of clothes.
From classic formal suits, to slim casual suits, to casual and sporty jackets, denim shirts, and sweatshirts.
Each style can be seen to be handmade, and the colors range from the deep black and blue bright colors Sumo likes, to slightly brighter gray, dark green and other colors.
At first glance, there are more than thirty types of clothes that can be changed for the upper body alone, which is dazzling.
Under the dazzling array of tops, the extension of the glass cabinet is cleverly designed, hiding an equally rich selection of trousers. All trousers are neatly folded or hung on special trousers racks, keeping both It takes the form of pants and is convenient for Somo to take at any time.
In the deepest part of the cloakroom is a display area specially designed for shoes.
Leather shoes, loafers, casual shoes, sneakers. It is worth mentioning that there are many shoe styles that Susan has never seen before.
"Things that have never been enjoyed on earth are now available, luxury!"
Suma shrugged. Reason told him that he deserved these things, but his sensibility was a little ashamed of enjoying them.
But one thing is certain. It can be said that human beings are not talented in strength, but it cannot be said that human beings are not very talented in enjoyment.
Looking at the underwear on the other side, I no longer paid attention to the style, but classified them according to the fabric. Each piece was pressed flat and exuded a light jasmine fragrance. .
Sumo simply took off all his clothes and chose to put on a brand new set of underwear.
"Master, depending on the occasion you are about to attend, I recommend that you wear a No. 007 sweatshirt on your upper body and a No. 52 jeans on your lower body. It is more appropriate to use A-4 Martin boots for your shoes."
The voice of size zero suddenly sounded in the cloakroom. sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the three mentioned clothes were sent out by the robotic arm.
"Have you finished deep learning? No, are you the subject or the clone?"
"It's the clone, master!"
The No. 0 sign on the top of the cloakroom, a 'little Rubik's Cube', glowed slightly, "My main body has been sent to the eastern front line of the New World to assist in strategy formulation and intelligent material deployment. What you see now is my No. 17 clone, specially for you. Customized life assistant.”
“Welcome home, Lord of Tianyuan Territory, the great pioneer of mankind, Mr. Sumo!”
No, I’ve only been gone for a year? !
Why does it not feel like a year at all now, but like decades?
Seeing the three pieces of clothes being handed to him, Zero began to broadcast today's weather and itinerary plans. Sumo was suddenly able to understand what Adam said.
Human beings may have zero talent in cultivation, but in terms of IQ, they are indeed at the forefront of thousands of races in the universe.
With this kind of development speed, as long as there is enough environment to cultivate it, the potential is not inferior to that of foreign races.
"How many clones do you have now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Clones with autonomous consciousness." Sumo raised his eyebrows , some surprise.
Even the subject of size zero would not answer in such a tone after receiving the question before.
Now that you can use interrogative sentences to ask questions, it means that Zero's judgment logic has completely entered the next stage.
“Sorry, my main body has indeed evolved the basic autonomous consciousness you mentioned, but the clone did not obtain this permission due to the huge consumption of computing power. The answer you are hearing now comes from the cloud AI model, I use the big data built into the server as a reference. Once I leave the cloud coverage, I will immediately lose this ability."
"His"
There is only this delay in using cloud data. Isn’t it more awesome than having independent consciousness?
Once the number is spread out, it will be equivalent to dozens and hundreds of Zeros with independent consciousness in Tianyuan territory.
"Do I need to apply for autonomous consciousness permission from the subject?"
"No, that's enough now."
Sumo shook his head.
The war on the front line was still going on, and he didn't want anything to go wrong on Zero's side because of his curiosity.
Put on a sweatshirt, jeans, and Martin boots.
Sumo stood in front of the mirror and took a look. He didn’t know what stage the players in the territory who chose the manual route had reached. These clothes looked ordinary on the hangers, but when they were put on, Afterwards, a special warmth seeped out.
And feel it carefully, the light and fit feeling is so comfortable that it makes people feel like they are not wearing any clothes.
“At first glance, there is no difference between me and myself a few years ago.”
Sumo whispered to himself, inadvertently picking up the scraper placed on the table. The Hu Dao slid across the chin skillfully.
As the black and blue stubble fell like autumn leaves, a chiseled and heroic face was gradually revealed.
He stared at himself in the mirror, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, and a few hidden emotions that were not easy to detect.
Time flies.
The natural age of this body is now thirty-seven years old.
On the coordinates of the average life span of human beings on earth, it is undoubtedly an important node that marks the halfway point in the life journey.
But now, the thought of having a lifespan of at least 100,000 years.
On the face in the mirror, the corners of the mouth began to slowly rise.
At first it was just a faint smile, like the gentle dawn on the horizon when the morning light first appeared.
But soon the smile gradually expanded, and finally turned into a burst of hearty laughter, which made tears of laughter flow out.
“Eternal life, this is eternal life!”
When Adam mentioned eternal life half an hour ago, Sumo didn't have much emotion in his heart. He only felt that eternal life was a bit illusory and was not something he was thinking about at the moment.
Even influenced by the anti-immortality cultures on Earth, Soma once thought that too long a human lifespan might not be a good thing.
Enterprising spirit will slowly disappear due to the abundance of material conditions, and you will gradually become addicted to the comfort zone, losing the motivation and courage to pursue higher goals.
The system will also gradually become corrupted over a long period of comfort, gradually becoming a stagnant pool of water. As a result, the binding force of the rules will gradually weaken, and the balance of fairness and efficiency will begin to tilt.
At the same time, vested interests may take advantage of loopholes in the system to seek more private gains for themselves.
Especially when aristocratic families rise up, ordinary people will no longer have a chance to get ahead.
But now, when all the trivial matters are left behind, this stamina finally emerges. Grass (a plant)!
No matter how much trouble he will have in the future, at least it is better than living in a coffin for tens or hundreds of years, right?
As long as power is always in our hands, as long as mankind is always moving forward on the road of progress.
"On the vast time scale, human lifespan is so small and short. Even a simple hundred-year plan often requires the unremitting struggle and sacrifice of several generations before it can achieve initial results."
< br>"But I can watch the completion of a thousand century-old plans."
Thinking of this, Somo breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the cloakroom in high spirits.
Push open the office door.
As expected, many people were already waiting on the second floor of the shelter, and they gathered around them several times under the organization of the guards.
Seeing Sumo walk out, cheers broke out. There were old faces familiar to Sumo and new faces who joined this year.
Everyone was extremely enthusiastic and excited, shouting and celebrating randomly.
"Everyone, it feels great to see you again after a year!"
"Celebrate to your heart's content. I will tell Mr. Qiao that the celebration expenses for all residents today will be borne by the territory. Pay the bill, and as long as it doesn't go to waste, you can have as much fun as you want!"
"Long live the lord!" Several familiar faces took the lead in shouting, and their voices became one.
Sumo got on the elevator with excitement and reached the top floor of the shelter.
The airship had been preheated by Zero. When Somo sat on it, it immediately soared into the sky.
“Hoo, it’s so prosperous!”
At an altitude of 100 meters, Somo looked down.
A year later, although Adam did not take the initiative to mention the development of Tianyuan Territory, from the earth-shaking changes in the New World, it was not difficult for Sumo to infer that the development momentum of Tianyuan Territory must also be in full swing, no less. anywhere.
Looking at it now, the former Hope Town has taken on a completely new look and transformed into a modern human city.
As night falls, the starlight and the neon lights of the city interweave into a gorgeous picture.
The original Tianyuan Phase IV construction site now has dozens of buildings with a height of about 20 stories, like towering trees in a steel forest. The surface is covered with smart glass that can self-adjust transparency, ensuring that It provides sufficient indoor light during the day and exudes charming brilliance at night.
On the wide streets, new high-performance vehicles shuttled between them, either carrying passengers or delivering goods.
There is no roar of the engine or the roar of the exhaust. It lacks the hustle and bustle of the big cities on the earth, but has a bit more romance that belongs to high-tech cities.
In addition, the city's public facilities also show a high degree of modernization and humanity.
Rows of smart sensor street lights emit soft and even light. The cameras automatically capture pedestrian trajectories and automatically adjust the brightness. When pedestrians leave the street, they will automatically turn off, saving energy expenses.
"No. 0, how big is Hope Town now?"
"Calculating the latest city boundaries, the current length of Hope County is about fourteen kilometers, the width is about nine kilometers, and the total area is One hundred and thirty square kilometers”
So big?
Su Mo was shocked. This area was almost close to the urban area of many prefecture-level cities in China.
Even if placed in the future ruins, it has already reached the standard municipal scale.
"It's not in vain that I laid a solid foundation in advance!" Sumo became interested and flew the airship around Hope Town, and then saw the greatly changed Tianyuan Academy of Science.
I can’t say it has nothing to do with it, but it’s not much different from having nothing to do with it.
The building seemed to have been moved from the future era, which really made Somo feel strange and excited.
"Thanks to the various construction foams developed by the Academy of Sciences, urban expansion has become very easy."
Zero explained, "Now it only takes seven days to build a 25-meter ten-story building. Time, if there are construction workers involved in the process, time will still be It can be further shortened and can be completed in only five days."
"What about the strength of the building?"
"Because it is formed by integral pouring, the internal strength will be far higher than that of traditional reinforced concrete."< br>
“Perfect!”
Sumo nodded happily. With this speed, the city's reconstruction will become extremely easy after the natural disaster is over.
In less than three to five years, all people on earth will be able to return to their previous living standards.
Leaving Hope Town, Sumo took the airship and flew towards Qinggang City.
As the airship gradually rises, the scene in front of us becomes more and more spectacular.
There are six wide asphalt roads connecting Qinggang City, each of which is two-way and four-lane. The lights on the roadside are bright like stars, reflecting the entire night sky like daylight.
Newly built independent factories line the asphalt roads, replacing the former farmland.
Even at night, there are still cars going back and forth, transporting raw materials in and leaving with finished products.
"Well, the city is indeed much bigger than before, but it looks a bit desolate."
"No. 0, how many people are there in the territory now?"
Sumo asked in confusion.
For more than ten kilometers in a row, no one could be seen except for the driver who was driving a capable car.
Including those factories, most of them were working in darkness, not at all as lively as the previous two shifts.
“According to the newly added statistics yesterday, the number of registered residents in the territory has now reached 3.15 million.”
“More than 3 million people?” Sumo Hearing this, he was a little stunned. This number far exceeded his expectations.
He originally thought that the territory was so desolate that the number of residents would not expand much, but he did not expect that it had already reached such a huge scale.
He looked down again, trying to find some life in the silent asphalt roads and factories.
Unfortunately, the farther you go towards Qinggang City, the darker the factories become, and many of them are even completely dark.
"Aren't they all going to celebrate?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Sumo's mind, like a flame, instantly igniting the curiosity and expectation in his heart.
He suddenly increased the accelerator, and the airship quickly cut through the night sky like an arrow from the string, speeding away in the direction of Qinggang City.
Ten minutes later.
When a dazzling city gradually emerged at the end of the horizon, Somo's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
The neon light rising into the sky was actually very conspicuous a few minutes ago.
But at this moment, as the airship gradually approached, the feeling of prosperity and hustle and bustle really came through, making people's hearts surge.
“Holy shit, is this Qingang City?”
