Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 643 Flower of Blood and Bone: One-Dimensional Society IV
Xia Xiu stared at the virtual window, stretched out his right hand and rubbed his chin, his golden eyes flashing with curiosity.

"Floor 2? It depends on the situation. There are 70 floors here, the transmission mechanism is unknown, and the abnormal demand mechanism is unclear." He whispered to himself and began to sort out the situation.

At this moment, Xia Xiu's thoughts returned to his earlier discussion with 0-03, the apparent head of the Administration.

0-03 once mentioned the "box test" that Heaven uses to evaluate anomalies.

What they discussed at that time still echoes in Xia Xiu's mind.

"If I put it in a box, will it try to escape?"

Yes: This indicates that the object is active and may pose a threat to the containment environment.

No: Item is relatively passive and usually does not actively breach containment.

"If it tries to escape, can it escape successfully?"

Yes: The object has a high ability to escape, making containment difficult and requiring special measures.

No: The object has low escape potential and is relatively easy to contain.

"What would happen if it managed to escape?"

Serious consequences: The object is highly dangerous and could cause serious harm or disaster if escaped.

Minor consequences: The impact of the object's escape is minor and will not cause serious consequences.

"What if it is the box itself?"

Is the object itself used to help contain other anomalous objects?
For example, some special existence that can fight against other dangerous projects?

These four questions are fundamental to assessing anomalies.

0-03 also raised several extended questions, and they discussed the significance and application of these questions in detail.

Xia Xiu remembered that 0-03 mentioned that if the three colleges and the management bureau were able to gain a foothold, he, as the director and principal, would need to teach them the "box theory" to help them resist collapse together with the Kingdom of Heaven.

This theory is not just a method of evaluating anomalies, but also a way of thinking, a tool for understanding and dealing with the unknown.

At the same time, 0-03 also asked him:

"What kind of school are you going to build, Hugh Abraham?"

“What is the purpose of this school?”

"For the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"For humans?"

"For your own ambitions?"

"For the spread of truth?"

"To resist the collapse of Terra?"

"Or for something else?"

"For you, what are the practical problems that the Third Hospital needs to solve?"

Thoughts return to the present.

"Blood, work and labor..."

The fourth sword-bearer in heaven murmured in his heart.

"What kind of school should be built and what practical problems should be solved?" He exhaled slightly. "Perhaps when I complete this extermination order and see Corinius P. Bodfe II who calls himself Ion, I should know what practical problems the Third Academy needs to solve."

The world that the awakened founder of the inner temple wants to create, and the elements that his pursuers and incarnations seek, are the answers to the questions.

"Now, start analyzing this box test under my feet."

Xia Xiu quickly filtered all the information he had received in his mind.

Question 1: If you put it in a box, will it try to escape?
"This is a spatial anomaly. It is not proactive in nature and will not actively attempt to escape or expand its area of ​​influence."

"The conclusion is that I will not try to escape."

Question 2: If it tries to escape, can it escape successfully?
"As a spatial anomaly, and with access limited to specific frequencies, it has no physical form capable of escaping normal containment procedures."

"Conclusion: Unable to escape successfully."

Question 3: What would happen if it managed to escape?

"If the anomalous space expands or moves to other locations, it may cause new containment and management problems, but it will not directly lead to catastrophic consequences. Its main impact is the mental and psychological impact on those who enter."

"Conclusion: It will cause new containment and management problems, but will not directly lead to catastrophic consequences."

“Based on the above assessment, the characteristics of 721 are as follows:
There is no intention to escape actively.

There is no escape through ordinary physical means.

Escape or expansion could lead to new containment and management problems, but would not lead to direct catastrophic consequences.”

"The overall assessment is that this is an abnormal phenomenon that requires more resources to fully contain. Although it has high research value and a high domain status, it is only an anomaly that requires Eden to allocate [Yellow Directive] resources."

Eden's shelter resource allocation system is based on the difficulty of shelter, not the danger.

For example, suppose there is a button that, when pressed, blows up the entire Terra.

But, as dangerous as it is, as long as you lock the button in a box and make sure no one can press it, there won't be any problem.

Therefore, its containment is very simple and effective, and all it takes is to make sure no one presses the button.

That is the first question, if you put it in a box, will it try to escape?

This button is extremely dangerous, but because it is easy to contain, it is classified as a [White Command] resource.

One extra point needs to be mentioned here: "Make sure no one can press it" - this is what it means literally, if you can't make sure, that's another matter.

Of course, Eden's resources are distributed not only based on the difficulty of containment, but also based on necessity.

You could assume there is a cat that randomly swaps places with another cat anywhere on Terra.

The cat itself is not dangerous, but it is extremely difficult to contain.

You can't predict where it will teleport to, and there's no guarantee it won't escape containment.

Therefore, it is very difficult to manage and control it.

In theory, Eden would have to issue a high-level order for it.

Generally speaking, if Eden activates the highest directive, all sword bearers including Xia Xiu, all angels, and all institutions must respond to the directive.

However, Eden would definitely not waste too many resources for a cat that could replace its position.

At most, it will issue a prompt instruction to all employees and let each department handle it according to the situation.

Burial facilities and central containment cells usually attempt to contain the cat.

The inquisitors of the Tribunal usually choose to kill the cat directly.

The Knights are more Buddhist and handle things based on their mood.

The Ethics Committee... well, maybe they'll write an article or a paper about the cat?
As for the sword bearer, if it is not a mandatory requirement, there is no time.

“This multi-layered space may be a huge ‘box’, and my current target is the existence placed in the box. Now it’s time to figure out all the rules and mechanisms in this ‘box’.”

Xia Xiu began to walk inside this high-dimensional fragment called 721.

To be honest, he was a little confused when he saw the note about why the god with amazing wisdom allowed the fragments of his domain to fall on Terra.

From the perspective of Xia Xiu and that Lord of Change... oh, they have the same strategic vision and pattern.

If this thing could reach Terra, it must be abnormal.

He believed that this thing might not carry the slightest aura of chaos, because the Lord of All Changes might really do that, and the other party might really just want to do something tricky for humans.

However, no one dared to bet whether He was doing something fancy or something big.

Xia Xiu began to walk forward, his golden eyes quickly looking around.

There was a huge laboratory in front of him, and he walked quickly into the laboratory.

Upon entering the laboratory, you will see a wide entrance area. The large screen on the wall displays the current experimental tasks and status updates in real time. There are multiple smart terminals next to it for engineers to query information and record data. There are multiple wide workbenches in the center of the laboratory, and various precision instruments and tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, welding equipment and microscopes are neatly arranged on each workbench.

An adjustable high intensity light is hung above the workbench to ensure sufficient light during operation, and each workbench is connected to an independent power and data interface to facilitate the use of various equipment.

Next to the workbench is the mechanical equipment area, which has multiple robotic arms and automated assembly lines.

The robotic arms operate flexibly under programmed control, performing complex assembly and maintenance tasks.

On the assembly line, parts are automatically transported for efficient production and assembly, and everything goes on in an orderly manner.

On one side of the laboratory is a storage area with multiple smart lockers that store various parts and materials.

The lockers are equipped with electronic locks to ensure the safety and orderly management of materials, and the doors are equipped with electronic tags to facilitate quick retrieval of required materials.

On the other side of the lab is the programming terminal area, which is equipped with multiple high-performance computers, each connected to a large display screen.

The terminal area is used to write and debug software programs for controlling mechanical equipment. Various programming and simulation software are installed on the terminal.

"This place... looks like an engineer's office." This was the first impression that came to Xia Xiu's mind after the observation.

Just as this impression emerged in his mind, the green pop-up window of the game task interface appeared again.

[Floor 2: Engineer Mission (Low Level: Talent Test)]

[Task Description: You need to assemble a simple mechanical device (electric fan), relying entirely on the provided drawings, materials and data. This task is designed to be completed by people who have no experience in mechanics, in order to test their basic engineering talent and potential hands-on ability.]

[Task objective: Whether the tester can complete the task using existing resources and instructions without professional knowledge]

[70 floors: There is a red button on each floor. ]

[Game rules: You need to find a red button on each floor and press it. After pressing the button, you will be teleported to a random location on a random floor. You will win the game only when you are teleported back to the top of the building.]

[Tasks and Teleportation: Some floors require the completion of pre-tasks before leaving. The button will not teleport to floors where pre-tasks have not been completed.]

[Some floors can be reached directly without teleportation. 】

[Items and Consumption: Useful items brought in when entering will be removed and returned after victory, but you can bring items found inside. ]

[You can talk to the staff, and some floors can be used to exchange in-game currency at a 1:1 exchange rate.]

【Current staff: 1】

[Note I. Staff: Players who clear all floors will be teleported back to the top of the building to win the game. At this time, players who clear all floors will be given the title of [Staff].]

[Note II: There are different levels of authority for staff members, because there is a luck-based clearance on the 70th floor, that is, completing three random low-level games and then successfully teleporting to the top of the building. ]

【Note III: Luck is a remnant of design. 】

When this green pop-up window appeared, Xia Xiu discovered that an unfathomable force began to block him.

【Sisyphus】 is locked in the secret key.

[Vashak] is locked in the secret key.

The genealogy was also locked by an unknown powerful force.

EVE particles, elements, and [mythic factors] have all fallen into an unprecedented inertia.

Except for his own physical strength and the twenty-four sacred incarnations on his body, all other abilities were locked by this great power.

Xia Xiu frowned slightly, and subconsciously wanted to try his best to break free from the shackles, but at this time a green pop-up window popped up at the right time.

【Ding--】

[If external factors are detected in the talent test, the external factors will be excluded——]

[If external factors violate the rules of the game, you will be expelled from the 70th floor and will never be hired again!!!]

"Wait for me here."

Xia Xiu stopped trying, then he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the workbench.

Electric motor, blades, base, connecting wires, screws and tools are all included.

As his feet stepped into the workbench area.

Games start.

[Countdown: 10:00——]

[Time Record]:

Time Record:

10:00 - Entered the lab. Carefully checked all materials and tools, and started reading the drawings after confirming they were correct.

09:05 -After reading the drawings, I started to prepare the assembly of the base according to the steps.

08:40 - Confirm the position of all base components and begin assembling the base.

08:23 -Complete the assembly of the base according to the steps in the drawing.

07:30 - Installation of electric motors and blades begins.

05:59 - Turn on the power and test whether the electric fan can operate normally.

04:00 -Electric fans are functioning normally, mission accomplished.

[Mission completed——]

[Game Currency: +10]

Xia Xiu stopped the installation in his hand, his right hand turned a small screwdriver, and an interested expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, when he finished his task, a familiar object appeared in front of him.

That is……

CRISPR-Cas9 clipping template.

The following words made him squint his eyes.

"Interesting, very interesting, very interesting."

The fourth sword-wielding man in the Kingdom of Heaven couldn't help but burst out laughing and said "interesting" three times. Although he was laughing, his eyes were unusually cold.

[Engineer Gene Compatibility: 96.78%]

[Adaptive Template Talent: Primary Listening to Machine Soul]

[Game currency: 10]

[Price: Sacrifice some original genes]

【Advanced!】

[Note: Join the glorious evolution! ]

"Lord of Change, I have to say you are truly worthy of me."

"You are so generous to humans. No wonder some people say that your origin in the ether actually comes from the hope of living beings. You are truly a messenger of hope."

Xia Xiu looked at the promotion task beside him.

【Intermediate Tasks】

[Quest Rewards: Game Currency: +50]

[Task Description: You need to repair a faulty automated robotic arm and ensure that it can resume normal operation. ]

【High-level tasks】

[Quest Rewards: Game Currency: +200]

[Task Description: You need to design and write a control program to enable a group of robotic arms to work in coordination and complete complex assembly tasks. ]

[You can choose to join the evolution and complete the task, or you can choose to complete the task next time and come back next time. ]

[Note: On the 70th floor, only the Evolvers are the kings, and only the Evolvers have power! ]

Salted fish is speeding up the progress——
