Chapter 217 Capital
Checkpoint entering the capital.
It is no longer like the previous highway toll booth, but a fully sealed area similar to a private garage, and the vehicle needs to be completely driven into it.
Scanners inside perform a complete inspection of the vehicle.
Of course,
After all, the license plate belonged to the General Bureau of Investigation, and the identities of Yu Ze and Yun were also very important, so the test passed quickly. As for the extra Rody, he has long been included in the safety list.
If ordinary people want to go to the capital from outside, they will need to prepare a lot of procedures and application materials, and the entire inspection process will be very troublesome. Even if they pass the inspection and enter the capital, they will undergo continuous temporary review in the next three days. .
[Welcome to Earth City, the capital of the United States, the starting point for human exploration]
Passed inspection,
Vehicles enter the city.
The vehicle is covered in brilliant colors.
Even though this is the edge of the city close to the city wall, it is still bustling.
The time was approaching midnight, but there were many pedestrians walking on the streets, and most shops remained open.
There are no curfew restrictions in the capital, and all residents are free to arrange their activities.
After all, humans who can obtain a residence permit in the capital are at least very good in one aspect. They each have a clear concept of time management, and this city needs to run 24 hours a day.
The architectural styles within the city are also diverse, integrating themes from many countries, but they are mainly dominated by wild-style buildings.
But Roddy’s eyes were not on the street,
Instead, he looked at the sky through the panoramic sunroof of the sports car. This time, he could indeed see the huge ring-shaped building floating above the city.
"Completely suspended, without any support?" Roddy asked.
Yu Ze followed up with an answer: "The original World Bureau was built on the ground, which is now the central park area of Earth City.
But as humans explore corners and acquire relevant technologies.
A completely new plan was proposed.
A "Sky Garden Plan" was proposed that could be completely separated from the city and could simultaneously supervise the city. Even if the city was completely occupied, it could still ensure the normal operation of the World Bureau.
It cost a lot of money to bring anti-gravity materials from corners, and combined them with the technology originally mastered by humans, and finally established a new world bureau. ”
"Is it corner technology again?"
Yu Ze gently put his elbow on Luo Di's shoulder, "At your level, fellow fellow, as long as you can grow up normally and no longer have problems like the island incident, sooner or later you will be promoted to the most mysterious and powerful one among the three major bureaus. Big Exploration Bureau.
By then you will be able to explore corners with your own abilities, be able to access the depths of the world, and be exposed to things that transcend technology and cognition.
There is no need to be anxious at all - just be patient and develop.
Look at me, I’m almost twenty-six! I have absolutely no intention of going to the Exploration Bureau. I will wait until I have enough fun. There is no rush at all. ”
"Yeah."
Although Rody aimed to go to the corner, he was not in a hurry.
The reason why he is anxious is just because of the "call from hell". The tentacles used to block his spine may not be effective all the time, and he must prepare to go to hell as soon as possible.
"How are we going to get up? By aircraft?"
"Let's keep it secret for now, you'll find out later...it's related to the elevator anyway."
Under Yun's control, the vehicle sped rapidly through the city, constantly approaching the city center.
Roddy's eyes were gradually attracted by the beautiful scenery of the capital. The architectural style here has both the Chinese style of Jupiter City and the Italian style of Pluto City.
But what is most associated with Su is the rough style.
There are also many American and European-style buildings.
Luo Di also discovered that there are a large number of small aircraft operating in the airspace of about 10 to 50 meters from city streets.
In addition to lighting equipment, these aircraft are also embedded with a high-definition camera in the center and a bracket structure similar to a robotic arm, making them like a mechanical life.
They are active in every street of the city like swarms.
Occasionally, an aircraft will be lowered to take a close-up shot of a pedestrian, and the pedestrians will slow down in response.
Yu Ze explained it in advance:
"Swarms only exist in the capital.
They are located in every corner of the street, monitoring the entire city in real time and determining the identity of every resident in real time. Built-in the most advanced AI algorithm, it can determine whether a person is in a normal state based on a person's body temperature changes, heart rate and other parameters.
Once a certain value is exceeded, a close-up shot is taken and the data is uploaded to the hive center computer.
Under such system detection, although the capital is located in the center of the corner, the number of abnormal events has been reduced to a very low value, and the formation of "gaps" can be effectively prevented.
As for privacy issues, you can rest assured that the swarm only checks outdoor people and will never film any indoor situations. ”
"Yeah."
Vehicles continued to drive through the busy streets. Building heights, population density, and degree of development increase visibly as you get closer to the center of the capital.
The "thousand-meter-level building" finally arrived.
There are five buildings in total, located in a ring shape in the central circle of the capital.
The top of one of them is inlaid with a huge Mercury Group logo, and the entire building also continues the hotel style, but the decoration is more gorgeous and the overall design is more elaborate.
Even so,
The Mercury Group's headquarters is relatively sophisticated and high-end, and is not outstanding compared to other thousand-meter-level buildings.
"Is this...the top five companies in the world?"
"Yes, our country's [Taishe Group] currently ranks third in terms of comprehensive strength. If you are interested, fellow fellow, I can help you introduce it.
However, I guess Taishe Group will find you without my introduction.
Wait..."
Yu Ze calculated with his fingers: "Pluto City...haven't the people from the Mercury Group headquarters already approached you to talk about "Collaborative Development"? Can you tell me the conditions?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Since Yu Ze mentioned it, Luo Di naturally didn't mind saying it, just so he could serve as a consultant.
Yu Ze nodded, "Mercury Group is really good at this, and the conditions offered are indeed good. I guess other companies can't give you such good treatment even if they find me, and they are specially given to you." Customized.
Your personality and work style are in line with the Mercury Group.
It doesn't matter, anyway, there is no need to consider nationality when it comes to matters tied to the company. As long as everyone is born in this country, they are thinking about all mankind.
It’s up to you to decide which company to cooperate with. ”
"Yeah."
Luo Di looked at the other tall buildings corresponding to World Corporation. However, there are differences even among thousand-meter tall buildings.
Among them, it covers the largest area, and the only giant building with a height of more than 2,000 meters is located due east.
The bottom is supported by huge columns with a diameter of more than thirty meters, eighteen in total, holding up the entire Brutalist-style super building.
The entire building also has a "prosthetic transformation" performance, with more than half of it using an all-metal structure and shining brightly.
A huge hydrogen atom structure is also projected holographically on the top of the building.
【Miliatom】
It has been the largest company since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and its status has never wavered, representing the current world's largest country [Soviet Union].
Yu Ze also cast his gaze over.
"Atomic military industry... What a pity~ Guys like you, who pursue the original body, are not in line with the theme of this company. Otherwise, we can really establish a relationship with it through the island incident."
The vehicle did not drive to the center of the earth, but parked outside the central ring, exactly corresponding to the ring-shaped floating building suspended above the clouds.
A very strange building was built beside the road. It was all metal and in the shape of a giant chimney, only a few dozen meters high.
There is an exclusive parking lot next to this building, which is filled with all kinds of valuable vehicles, even some special vehicles that cannot be bought on the market.
The girl's pink coupe also parked inside.
The three people came to the building with a metal chimney structure and verified that the door was open. There was only a square metal platform inside.
There is a one-person-at-a-time sign posted next to the platform.
"This is the "elevator"?"
"That's right, I need you, fellow, to adjust the investigator costume to combat mode and stick it to your body skin. The elevator only responds to the material of the investigator costume.
You go first, we'll follow. ”
"Okay."
Walking onto the metal platform, some kind of automated identification activation device has started to work.
≮Identity authentication: Luo Di≯
It has been approved by the Capital Bureau of Investigation and allowed to go to the World Bureau.
[Ascension Elevator] is about to be activated. Please adjust the investigator costume to combat mode.
As circles of magnetic field energy appear around,
Roddy only felt like he was wrapped and entangled by something, and then he was squeezed and ejected by an indescribable invisible force, achieving super acceleration in the passage of the chimney structure.
Whoosh!
The huge initial speed carried Rodi straight into the sky.
But this speed didn't seem to allow him to reach the special building above the clouds. He was about to reach the highest point and fall from an altitude of several thousand meters.
A pulling force came from the top.
Rody kept floating at a constant speed of 5m/s, and was finally sucked up to the [Sky Garden].
