Chapter 717 Explosion! sacrifice! anger!
It is as vast as Feng Xu riding the wind, without knowing where it stops.
Piaopiao seems to be independent from the world, transformed into immortality!
Thousand-meter tall building, the sun and moon are close together.
Clouds rise and fall, accompanying the whole body.
The first time he simulated the thousand layers, Hou Congwen on the side fell into a sluggish state.
Standing next to him, as the simulator, Sumo's eyes instantly brightened!
“It’s stronger, the computing power of virtual reality is indeed stronger!”
Eight years have passed, the underlying architecture of virtual reality has basically not changed, and it still maintains the original Logic operates.
But based on the concept of flying big bricks.
After adding an unknown number of groups of servers, the computing power of virtual reality is more than ten times or a hundred times better than eight years ago.
Nowadays, when looking at a thousand-meter distance, objects on the ground are still clearly visible even though they have shrunk dozens of times.
Looking around, countless lightly golden clouds are moving forward with the air flow, making it look like a fairyland.
Every detail, every texture, is revealed.
Every physical structure, every force is analyzed, and the wires are in compliance with regulations.
"The skyscraper tower has 1,098 floors and is 1,199 meters high. Because it is formed in one piece, it weighs about 1,800 tons!"
"Three hundred times the load, that is 540,000 tons"< br>
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. The concepts of half a million tons and five tons are completely different.
After all, the higher the number of floors of the tower, the greater the weight of the load, and the more factors need to be considered.
But it is a pity that the 540,000-ton tower, which is made of an entire alloy structure, does not move at all, as if it does not feel any pressure at all.
"It seems that there can be at least five hundred times more," Su Mo thought to himself, and he suddenly felt confident.
In fact, the current Pillars of Creation can only be regarded as an extremely weakened version.
Three pillars were used to maintain stability. During the renovation process, Somo only left one main pillar as the cornerstone, and directly deleted the other two.
But even so, the results obtained far exceed the upper limit that many ordinary researchers can achieve in their lifetime.
But before Sumo could try again, Hou Congwen came out of his sluggish state and touched his head with a wry smile.
"Forget it, Su, brother, you'd better reduce the number of floors in the tower first. If you go higher, I'm afraid I'll have to give you all my funding for this month!"
"Let's try lower. , it won’t affect the effect.”
Although the computing power of virtual reality has been greatly improved compared to before, it can be allocated to each researcher, but it is extremely limited.
Of course, if you usually only use it to study some small objects, or small structures, or even simulate a living environment, the allocated share is definitely more than enough.
But if it is used to simulate such a large-scale scene, it only takes a few minutes, but the cost is huge.
For example, right now, a three-minute simulation can use up half of an average researcher's monthly quota.
"So that's it, everyone's share is still limited." Sumo understood, and quickly followed Hou Congwen's prompts and changed the number of floors of the tower all the way back to about 20 meters.
When he used it alone, he naturally didn't care about any consumption. Anyway, if the energy was gone, he would just find a way to find it.
But now that there are more people, the Academy of Sciences allocates computing power in this way, which is extremely reasonable and can ensure that resources will not be wasted randomly.
“Continue testing, four hundred times!”
After everything was settled, Sumo and Hou Congwen went down to the ground to start testing the scaled-down version of the tower.
It is still the familiar iron plate and the familiar pressurization method.
After the material was changed to an alloy structure, even if it was increased four hundred times, not to mention the alloy on the outside of the tower, even the long column in the middle was extremely stable, with no sign of being unable to hold up.
"Brother You Zong, this structure is really amazing. The limit record of the tower structure in my construction courtyard is 680 times. At 400 times, it is not as stable as your structure. There is no way you can break it today." "This record!"
Hou Congwen introduced, with a hint of envy on his face.
It took him eight years to go from being an ignorant guy to a researcher with rich theoretical and practical knowledge, and then from a junior researcher to an intermediate researcher.
In this process, the effort and sweat he put in were ten times or a hundred times that of others.
But now, I found that Sumo only needed to submit this building structure to the Academy of Sciences, and he would immediately obtain at least the status of an intermediate researcher.
"Try it and see if five hundred times can be achieved!"
"Okay!" Sumo clapped his hands, and the iron plates on the tower automatically began to increase in weight, and continued to increase to five hundred times. Go away times.
It was a sure thing, so he didn't worry too much.
But when the sound of the 500-fold aggravation completion sounded, I couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
Five hundred times, the weakened version of the Pillars of Creation is still as stable as an old dog.
This is enough to explain how terrifying the Sun-Chasing Armor loaded with this structure will be after it is formed.
“The record is 680 times, so I might as well increase it to 700 times and try!”
"Look at the limit of this single column!"
In other places, Sumo may choose to hide his clumsiness and try not to show off his sharpness.
It can be found in the Academy of Sciences, in this cradle of talents founded by myself.
Sumo only knows one thing.
Remuneration will only be linked to performance.
The stronger you are, the easier it is to gain the respect of others!
Boom!
With a wave of one hand, it spanned two hundred times at once. The iron plate responsible for weighting also suddenly reached the physical expansion limit and began to increase in number.
Then the second layer of iron plates crashed onto the first layer.
In the void, a pale yellow list with golden light fell from the sky and hit the ground hard.
White crane paper with gold patterned characters.
The list is densely packed with hundreds of different names from top to bottom, as well as records held later.
With just one glance, Sumo found dozens of familiar names, as well as shocking limit values.
“On the list of gods, the record of tower structure has been broken!”
On the list, ripples flowed.
With Hou Congwen's uncontrollable exclamation, the record of the tower structure located at item 107 finally changed.
The original record of 680 times gradually disappeared and was replaced by a new record of 700 times.
And because he is in Hou Congwen’s research laboratory, the name of the recorder of the list naturally became his name.
“Researcher Hou, congratulations, I didn’t expect that you would break through the record of 700 times.”
“Damn it, Hou Congwen, you’re so silent and you’ve achieved 700 times? ”
"What the hell, your broken structure was only 420 times last time, why did it almost double this time?"
"Let me see, what structure is so awesome!"
< br>The sound comes first before the people arrive.
The list is here, and all the places in the virtual reality are singing together.
Almost instantly, all the researchers who were still in the virtual reality received a reminder.
This time, I realized that it was Hou Congwen who broke the record silently.
These people suddenly couldn't sit still and began to apply for permission to enter and investigate.
"Oh, I got the limelight first. I'm so sorry for having such a clan brother!"
Being complimented, questioned, congratulated, and urged by dozens of voices.
Experiencing such a scene for the first time, although Hou Congwen was still a little shy, his face was full of cheerful smiles, and he was enjoying it very much.
"Brother, how about I inform the dean first and let him investigate and let us go?"
"That's very good!"
Seven hundred times, it's still not just a single person. Limits of column structures.
But at this time, having just broken the record of the entire Architectural Institute, Sumo was not in a hurry to continue to break through. He only planned to wait for the dean of the Architectural Institute to be in place before trying again.
"Okay, the dean may be busy, don't be in a hurry, let's have tea first!"
After some wording, the edited message was sent over the air.
Hou Congwen waved his hand out of the pavilion again, and the two sat across from each other again.
Only this time, the contempt in Hou Congwen's eyes was gone, and the anxiety in Sumo's heart was gone.
"Brother Hou, can you first introduce to me the current situation of the Academy of Sciences?"
"Of course you can. If you have a clan brother, you can join the Academy of Sciences immediately. It doesn't count if I talked about these things in advance. Violation"
After hearing Sumo's request, Hou Congwen readily agreed without thinking.
The reason why he isolated others and came over to investigate immediately was not as simple as he said.
The fundamental reason is that in the future, it is very likely that he will be promoted to a senior researcher or even a dean-level figure.
As the examiner and recommender, Hou Congwen valued this relationship more than others. "Our Academy of Sciences currently has eight different departments, namely the School of Physics, the School of Chemistry, the School of Architecture, the School of Mechanical Engineering, the School of Ordnance Industry, the Academy of Science and Technology, the School of Medical Sciences, and the School of Mathematics"
< br>
"Among them, with the Institute of Physics as the leader and the Academy of Sciences as the tail, our Institute of Architecture is currently ranked third, only after physics and military engineering."
When it comes to third place, Hou Congwen is implicitly proud.
“Brother You Zong, don’t think that the issues raised by our Architectural Institute are simple. In fact, as long as these things can be converted into civilian uses, we can completely change the current trend of disaster relief for us humans.”
“Take your tower structure as an example. If we can build such a high tower structure underground, it will be able to withstand some disasters that cannot penetrate the soil and preserve the human fire from beginning to end!”
< br>"Oh? It's built underground?" Sumo's face was straightened and he asked for advice.
In fact, Sumo discovered the problem while observing the problem on the Science and Technology Monument Tower yesterday.
Of all newly posted questions, more than seven out of ten are about how humans survive underground.
Such intensive questions cannot explain much, but they can already reveal some information.
At this time, with what Hou Congwen said, he immediately discovered the clue.
“Yes, some brothers must have discovered that the disasters in the past two years have become more and more violent. According to our calculations, if this increasing trend continues, sooner or later human beings will still have to Move underground so that the lives of most people can be saved”
"Of course, maybe our worries are unfounded, but no one knows whether the next disaster will be."
Speaking of this, Hou Congwen paused and gradually stopped.
Eight years have passed, and the number of humans has shrunk dozens of times from the initial eight billion.
Today, the number of humans that only exist in the New World, according to summary statistics, is only about 200 million adults, which is only twice the total population of Henan Province in China in the earth era.
And this is not what worries humans the most.
Because of the uncertainty and frequency of disasters, in addition to the ability of truly large territories to ensure the safety and nutrition of newborn children.
In most ordinary territories, even if a child is born, only about 1 in 500 will survive.
Eight years have passed until now.
The negative growth of the human population has been dozens of times, it has skyrocketed hundreds of times, but the positive growth has been unable to exceed the number of one million.
If we continue to maintain this attitude, it will only be a matter of time before civilization breaks down.
"Brothers, don't worry too much. At present, the disaster still remains in the basic astronomical aspects and has not touched the real level of destruction."
"Although the last low temperature reached the terrifying minus ninety However, we now have trains that reach the entire New World. The poor can live alone, and the rich can benefit the world. It shouldn’t be a problem to hold on for a few more years."
"Besides, as long as we can withstand the pressure during this time, Complete breakthrough and research for the fourth time."
Seeing Sumo lost in thought, Hou Congwen realized that he had made a mistake and began to comfort him quietly.
Unfortunately, before he could finish all his words, he didn't have time to tell what the fourth technological explosion was.
Suddenly, darkness fell in front of the two of them.
The lake, the pavilion, and the open space were all reduced to nothing.
In its place was a simple room of only ten square meters.
"Hey, why is there a power outage?"
"There is an emergency power supply in the courtyard. Even if it can't bear the virtual realm, it can't afford the lighting, right?"
In the dark room without windows, the blue emergency lights above the head have been turned on.
Hou Congwen stood up, smiled slightly awkwardly at first, and then walked out with a trace of sullenness.
There is no room for sloppiness in research work.
A power outage may wipe out the inspiration that a researcher may have had.
When no disaster strikes, this kind of mistake is simply outrageous!
"The logistics department is getting worse and worse. I told the dean a long time ago not to let people from the Chen family get involved. They can't even clean up the mess they made, and they still want to get involved in the Academy of Sciences. It's true."
"I want to see what other reasons you have today"
Clearing his throat, Hou Congwen cursed under his breath, straightened his back and walked out.
Although he is not the person who broke the record, the name currently on the list is still "Hou Congwen".
With this remaining power.
Hou Congwen had already planned all his words in his mind before he even reached the door.
This time, nothing else.
We must work with other researchers to clean out the cancer of the Chen family from the Academy of Sciences, so as to create a healthy scientific research environment.
Otherwise, if these pests stay inside, sooner or later the previous "disaster" will happen again.
“Management Office, take care of logistics for me!”
Picking up the emergency phone at the door, Hou Congwen dialed the numbers and kept talking.
But the strange thing is that the management office downstairs, which usually responded immediately, was as silent as a sudden power outage today.
I had no choice but to call three times in a row to confirm that the management office had been shut down.
Hou Congwen could only use the dim light to open the mechanical lock of the explosion-proof glass door, push open a small crack and get out.
"Qiu Hong, what's going on? Is the logistics department such a sucker for being able to cut off the power in broad daylight?"
"You find me a phone that can be connected. I want to greet these worms like the Chen family. Are they..."
Take two steps and bump into Qiu Hong, who is coming in a hurry. Hou Congwen He opened his mouth and cursed loudly.
But unfortunately, before he could finish everything, Qiu Hong, who was usually extremely well-behaved, was extremely abnormal today.
I saw that he suddenly raised his hand and directly covered Hou Congwen's mouth. Then he secretly pushed Hou Congwen forward and pressed him against the side wall of the glass spiral. It was so rough!
"Qiu you. Let go"
A person who runs errands and does odd jobs every day has a lot of energy.
Sitting in the research room all day long, I feel weak and weak.
Being held down by Qiu Hong, Hou Congwen couldn't help but struggle a few times, but still couldn't break free immediately.
"Teacher Hou, don't talk, look behind you."
Pressing the hand on Hou Congwen's mouth a little harder, Qiu Hong lowered his voice and Qiang Zi whispered in his ear.
"Woo. What's behind?"
After hearing this whisper clearly, Hou Congwen was not stupid, and he instantly realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
But unfortunately, before he could turn his head and look back.
Boom!
A violent roar sounded suddenly, causing his eardrums to almost burst.
At the same time, a red-hot iron seemed to fly over his head, causing an obvious burning sensation.
“Kill, kill!”
“Gun, who dares to shoot in the Academy of Sciences!”
One second ago, Qiu Hong’s whisper seemed to be still in his ears echo.
The next second, the exploded head was like a watermelon opened by a hammer, scattering on the ground.
His face was smeared with blood, and Hou Congwen fell to the ground like a madman, his whole body trembling like Parkinson's disease.
The familiar voice and familiar feeling are not unfamiliar to him.
In virtual reality, I have been forced to try this feeling of being missed by a bullet dozens or hundreds of times.
But this time, the difference is.
This is reality. You only have one life and will not be resurrected like in virtual reality.
To die is to be completely dead!
"The Northern Military Region is doing business, and the idle people should retreat quickly, otherwise you will be responsible for your own death or injury!"
"Three warnings, the first warning!"
Cold and emotionless A voice sounded from behind.
Hearing this familiar rhetoric, Hou Congwen's trembling stopped suddenly.
The next second, he raised his head blankly.
In front of his eyes.
The third floor has been filled with tall and fully armed murloc warriors for some unknown time.
They were all muscular, wearing black robes, with ferocious expressions, and their bodies exuded a strong, nauseating fishy smell.
In their hands is the most powerful individual weapon developed by the Academy of Sciences, the Dragon Tooth Assault Rifle.
On their bodies, it is also the version that the Academy of Sciences is currently testing, which is only specially supplied to several military regions with the strongest individual protective gear, and is expected to be an assault device.
Everything, everything, was originally meant to deal with powerful foreign enemies.
But at this time, their guns were pointed at the target.
Surprisingly it is
a laboratory with only a gap exposed!
They targeted their own people!
Because the title involves a certain noun, it was directly targeted by the river crab mythical beast. I had to urgently revise a new version. The extra 600 words are given to everyone for free. Thank you for your support~
