A huge fireball rose up at the other end of the city, and the sound of a huge explosion echoed in the city in this cave like a big bell, Hao Ren looked at Yizax in amazement: "What are you doing, Lao Wang?"
”"Make big news," Itzhax said, turning his head to the TV on the wall, expressionless, "and wait and see if there's a report." ”Nangong Invincible and Elsa stared at the firelight at the far end of the city, and only after a long time did they invariably sigh, Elsa sighed softly: "We didn't dare to make such a big move back then. ”Nothing happened for ten minutes after the explosion, until the fireball had cleared and the buildings near the explosion site had been completely engulfed in the blazing demonic flames that were hard to extinguish, that the crowd heard sirens blaring in the distance, and some oval-shaped flying machines with flashing warning lights rushed towards the fire scene along the steel beams of the city's roof.Hao Ren stood on the balcony and looked into the distance, his beyond ordinary vision could see the situation in the explosion area: many machines and equipment were busy extinguishing the fire, and the road near the fire area had been blocked, some robots were directing traffic at the intersection, and passing vehicles chose to take a detour under the command of those robots.Hao Ren's attention quickly shifted away from the fire and instead focused on the vehicles that were detouring around the road - it occurred to him that since these vehicles were operating under the control of a huge unmanned system, the coordination between them should be perfectly coordinated, so why did he need robots to direct traffic at intersections?
Is it just the bad taste of the city's designers (or should it be called "watchers outside the glass house")?
In order to simulate what human society looks like?"
We can do it tomorrow," Itzax said as he walked from behind and stood beside Hao Ren, "Wait a day today to see what changes will happen in the news tomorrow, I want to confirm something." ”The place was well-roomed, and easy enough to pack up and comfortable, and Hao Ren and his party spent their first night in this strange city that was not very peaceful: from the second half of the night, there were always various sirens coming from other neighborhoods, and a large fireball from Yitzax caused more movement than expected.Early the next morning, Lily was complaining that she hadn't slept well last night, but to be honest, Hao Ren was quite skeptical: everyone around him could have insomnia, but this husky who lacked heart and lungs......
Does her brain structure support such a complex symptom as insomnia?
The group spent time in the Nangong couple's house, keeping an eye on the news reports that might appear at any time, and soon they waited for what they wanted.The morning news began to play on the TV, and a woman in a beige shortcoat with a professional smile appeared on the screen, reading the manuscript with a slightly nervous expression: "......
An urgent piece of news.Last night, a large-scale mysterious explosion occurred in a block of 'Shenhe Station', four residential buildings were completely destroyed at the moment of the explosion, and more than 10 buildings were destroyed by the fire after the explosion, and the total damage area reached the entire block.The fire has stopped spreading after the fire department has been fighting it all night, but the fire in the area of the fire has not subsided......"
Lily slapped Yitzhax on the back: "Big one, you made a lot of movement." ”Yitzax raised his chin quietly: "Don't worry, pay attention to see if there is anything wrong." ”At this time, the announcer on the TV finished reading the script, and suddenly the camera shook to the side: "......
We urgently contacted the Director of Fire Safety at the Deep River Station, Mr.
Wayne Rom, and now I would like to ask Mr.
Wayne Rom to brief us on the progress of the research on the explosion. ”A broadcast window appeared on the screen, and a tall, bald man stood in the broadcast window: "......
The cause of the explosion has not yet been investigated, and the last picture transmitted by the on-site monitoring equipment shows that the explosion suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a huge fireball was first formed in the air, and then destroyed the signal at the scene......
"This Wayne Rom baba half a day later, the camera changed again, this time it was a gray-haired old man with black skin, and the voiceover introduced on the side: "Logcan ...... the explosion in front of the deep river station" The people in front of the TV stared and were speechless.Izzax turned, "I guess the city we're staying in now is called 'Deep River Station'." ”Hao Ren pointed to the figure that appeared on the screen and looked at Nangong and his wife: "These are the commanders and officials of Shenhe Station......
Why did this empty city have a mayor again?
”Nangong Invincible opened his mouth and waved his hand: "We have never heard of the existence of these people. ”At this time, there was a sudden clicker outside the door, and everyone suddenly fell silent, Lily ran to open the door on tiptoe, and after a while, she returned to the living room with a newspaper that still smelled of ink: "Today's newspaper......
The headline on the front page is the news of the explosion in the neighborhood, and there is also a photo of the director of the city's fire safety department, Nangong Sanba reached out to take the newspaper and gently twisted the paper: "Just printed." ”Everyone looked at the newspaper and the TV in front of them with creepy expressions, and looked at the faces on them, which depicted such a normal world, that Hao Ren suddenly realized that he should correct his initial guess."'
They' are simulating the reality of human society," Itzhax reached out to turn off the slightly noisy television, "and 'they' are forcibly pretending that the world is still alive." ”Lily blinked, "Who are 'they'?"
”"Then we'll have to find the behind-the-scenes leader who makes these shows and newspapers," Hao Ren took a deep breath, "Get ready, let's go out and make some noise." ”The group had already cooperated tacitly, and everyone was ready to act after Hao Ren made a decision.They walked towards the gate, Nangong May walked last, turned around and greeted his parents: "Dad, Mom, come on, this should be your last day in this city." ”Nangong and his wife glanced at each other, and they all smiled, and Nangong Invincible greeted everyone who had already walked outside the door: "You guys wait a minute, let me equip all the outfits I had back then!"
”The Nangong couple had lived in the city for a hundred years, and they had the opportunity to discover a lot of secrets - and they themselves should be vaguely aware of some of the truths about the world around them.It's just that they are different from Hao Ren, they have no way to leave, the environment on the surface of the planet is unbearable, and in comparison, this strange and even false city is their only reliable and safe refuge, so they have never thought of demolition.But now, a bunch of guys who don't have to worry about leaving the shelter at all are coming, and this fake glass house will soon be unveiled.Hao Ren took the lead, leading his small team out of the residential area and walking along the avenue to the end of the city.The lights of the city dome are coming on one by one, simulating the arrival of the morning sun, and more and more small robots are appearing on the streets like citizens who go to work in the morning, continuing to wipe down street lights, wash railings, sweep away non-existent street garbage, and check every empty garbage can on the side of the road, making everything seem lively.People walk on the city's main road, which is lined with neatly arranged billboards.All of a sudden, the screens lit up at the same time, and began to play a bustling and lively peaceful and prosperous world, and the laughter in the speakers and the happy smiles on the monitors seemed to envelop this small team.Roadside billboards chanting: "......
The shelter provides you and your family with the most meticulous security services, we have dozens of kilometers of rock formations and steel protection, you will live in a safe and comfortable new paradise away from the cold and vacuum of the surface world......
"A taxi is loudly broadcasting around everyone:"......
Who wants to leave the safety of their home and go on an adventure in a place with an unpredictable future?
Let go of these naïve thoughts of youth and frivolity.You can hop on board and spend the day in the newly built leisure plaza in the city center, and you will realize that it is more comfortable than any snow and ice......
"A small cleaning robot happily circles around Hao Ren's feet: "Vegecari Company, a specialist in cleaning equipment manufacturing, provides meticulous hygiene services for you and your beloved family - can you imagine how dirty a world would be without Vegekari automatic equipment?"
You need Vijekari, you need everything here, you need a home that's always neat and comfortable!
”More and more robots and vehicles are appearing on the streets, as if the whole world is starting to press this way.Hao Ren stretched out his hand to stop a taxi next to him, and said to the pile of flashing lights in the driver's seat of the car, "Will you take us out of the city?"
”The console lights of the taxi immediately dimmed: "Sorry, the vehicle is out of order." ”Hao Ren took out his silver-white spear and matching gun from his personal space, and squeezed his eyes at Vivian beside him: "It seems that no one will let us hitchhike." ”A mighty army of machines is gathering in front of everyone.
(There will be a power outage during the day tomorrow, and the update time can only be determined =.)=) (To be continued.) )
