Infinity Throne

Xiao Xi said that understanding the structure of a "ship" is a required course for an administrator.

When she heard this, Yi Lin almost couldn't help but push Xiao Xi on the bed and spank her: three times on the left and four times on the right.

You are so early in education!

But Yi Lin honestly brought a small stool, sat in front of Xiao Xi, and listened quietly.

The tool's mother made black coffee and a cup of hot milk.

Yi Lin drinks coffee and Xiao Xi drinks milk.

The tool man made a sound like "ah la la", exited the room, and locked the door.

"Come."

Xiao Xi waved to Yi Lin.

"Head."

Yi Lin leaned her head forward.

Xiao Xi stretched out her finger and touched Yi Lin's head.

Small blue light spots turned into ripples on Yi Lin's forehead, fainted and disappeared without a trace.

The corresponding "information" is transferred to the administrator's log.

Yi Lin rubbed his forehead, and while digesting the huge number of "term explanations", he couldn't help complaining: "Speaking of transmitting data, does it have to be by poking the forehead?"

"No need, sip sip sip -" Xiao Xi sucked hard and shook her head: "But, I like to poke!"

"..." Yi Lin glared at Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi blinked with an innocent expression.

Yi Lin retreated.

"I'm leaving first." Yi Lin digested the "data" and tried to understand it by herself. With a flick of her finger, she sent the "log" of this period to Xiaoxi.

Xiao Xi accepted it happily.

Yi Lin turned around and saw our goddess Xi twisting around on the pink quilt like a caterpillar. From this point of view, the report generated by the administrator made her very dissatisfied.

Yi Rin leaves.

…

The world is like a "box".

In the box, there are various "rules" that run everything in the box.

When this box floats on a river, it becomes a boat.

Rules can be made.

The sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, fish, insects and flying kites, the evolution of living things, the forms of insects... all visible or invisible "everything", whether macro or micro, actually follows a certain " Rules" are in operation.

God created the rules, and humans discovered "the truth revealed by God" through various means. This is "science".

Yi Lin thought of "reincarnation".

That is probably also a "rule" that allows people in the next world to reincarnate.

For the sake of layout, Xiaoxi took away the rules of "reincarnation" and twisted it into a three-life stone.

In Yi Lin's memory, the world seems to be going downhill.

The reproduction rate of organisms has declined, rare animals have gradually become extinct, vegetation has been destroyed, and the environment has been polluted.

And now, Yi Lin knew the reason.

It’s not because of human over-exploitation, nor what scientists call “lack of harmony between man and nature,” or the damage left over from nuclear war, but because the source of this ship is being decomposed and consumed, sooner or later. , when the source in this ship is exhausted, everything human beings know will come to an end.

To handle these unimaginable "rules" of data magnitude, we need an "existence" similar to "artificial intelligence" that can run autonomously.

This existence, in professional terms, is the "navigator". The navigator is the will of the world. It is like a perfect machine, faithfully running the pre-set programs and rules, so that the "world" can continue to run.

In the "tutorial" transmitted to him by Xiao Xi, the person who is now the "navigator" is "Xi Paradise".

In short, when Yi Lin looked at the world from the perspective of an "administrator" again, the world in his eyes was very different.

Yi Lin always felt that Xiao Xi still hid a lot of things that she didn't say.

…

After Mo Rendi finished his work, he continued to take care of Molly.

After Molly cried her heart out, she seemed to be a changed person.

She began to find work on her own. Molly became interested in the appearance of the "Tower" and took the initiative to apply to join the "Grey Mist Area Exploration Team", wanting to explore this giant tower that could be called a "miracle" up close. Even though Molly is young now, she is a "second generation researcher". When she showed amazing talents when she was a child, many old scholars criticized Molly's parents from the side and wanted her to learn certain things when she grew up. major. But after the death of Molly's parents, Molly no longer had any contact with the elders in that circle.

Of course, Molly's request was ruthlessly rejected by Mo Rendi.

Don't even think about it.

at the same time.

The property tester "developed" by the chief scientist GM was simply packaged, put in a shell, and shipped to all parts of the country.

Yi Lin used the administrator panel to manufacture the first batch of attribute testers, 5,000 of them.

In fact, there are other scientific researchers who are "full of curiosity" and have tried to disassemble the "property tester" to understand the principles inside. But because of this, it is said that a minor accident occurred because during the process of dismantling the "attribute tester", the palm-sized attribute tester exploded on the spot.

Fortunately, the explosion was not powerful and caused no casualties.

This is truly the mercy of the explosion maniac.

…

If 2111 is a "disaster year\

,"Then 2112, for ordinary people in this country, is a "magic year."

Across the country, post-disaster reconstruction efforts are in full swing.

In a short period of time, the upper class vigorously and resolutely implemented a reform that can be called "subversive"-the talent selection system that had lasted for thousands of years and was once called the "imperial examination system" and now is called the "examination system" was abolished. It was banned in the blink of an eye. . Without any warning, repeated meetings and discussions, and without soliciting public opinion, the superiors ordered the cancellation of college entrance examinations, junior high school entrance examinations, mock examinations, and primary and secondary school entrance examinations, and directly used a machine called an "attribute tester" to select talents.

It was implemented that year, and the college entrance examination in 2111 became the last one in history.

June.

Networks in various cities are exploding.

Different voices appeared on forums or in major programs:

[Five thousand years of our ancestors have used bloody history to prove the superiority of the "examination system". This policy is definitely a major setback in human history. 】

[Is the cyberpunk era here? Last year I heard that "prosthetics" for civilian use were ready to be launched...]

[More than just a “prosthetic limb”? I heard that a hospital in Haiting City successfully completed a perfect replacement surgery for a "prosthetic stem" two months ago. It contains a small motor with 32 different power levels and material simulations, as well as temperature control. It is also 500m professional diving grade waterproof, with no electricity leakage or air leakage. As long as there is electricity, perpetual motion can theoretically be achieved. This era should be called cyberpunk! 】

【Hahaha! First clam today! 】

[laughing like a pig in broad daylight. 】

[Can you believe this news? Isn't this the news released by the temporary workers? Anyway, I don’t believe it. It’s already 2112. Didn’t some people say before that humans will enter the cyberpunk society in 2077? Isn’t this ridiculous? Whoever believes it is stupid. 】

【Nonsense! It's impossible for my child's mental attribute to be only 1.8. This broken machine must be malfunctioning! 】

【That’s right! My child was in the top 50 in all exams from junior high school to high school, but he is still not as good as the kid next door who plays games all day long. Do you think I would believe it? What kind of future can there be for someone who breaks the game! 】

【that is! We pay so much money every year for tutoring classes, so why should the exam be cancelled? Have you asked our parents for their opinions? Have you considered the feelings of our taxpayers? 】

[Not to mention it’s an exam, have you heard that there are reports that the high-altitude magnetic field is turbulent and aviation safety cannot be guaranteed, and the demolition of the airport next to my home has begun...]

[My posts have been deleted more than ten times! You didn’t even tell me, right? I have to say it! If you have the guts, just do it]

【……? 】

[Has the network cable upstairs been unplugged? 】

【Careful Burial Friends】

[Finished, pulled out another one. 】

…

All kinds of voices came out, whether they were objections, doubts, wonders, or agreements, all the voices turned into a mess.

But the chaos didn't last long.

Three days passed.

Nationwide internet outage.

There are reports that satellite debris has destroyed most of the signal towers across the country, and repairs are ongoing.

This "emergency repair work" was not completed until late June.

One after another, cities have entered the "large LAN era."

There is no voice of “opposition” on the Internet.

Some enthusiastic people have made comments on the Internet such as "If you can't say it, just pull out the network cable, right?" ]'s remarks were intercepted by "Tianzhu No. 1" in less than a second. "Tianzhu No. 1" is said to be an AI program that intelligently manages "regional block" networks. It has more than 100 layers of firewalls and can efficiently and quickly intercept all kinds of network attacks and comments from outside or inside. This program, the genius girl Molly had a hand in writing some of the code...it was a bit secretive after all.

July 2112.

The first batch of "Chosen Ones" who received excellent evaluations under the "Attribute Tester" test were born.

When they take the electronic version of the "admission notice of key universities" and even the "employment contract" of the popular position after graduation and put it on the Internet to show off to their peers and their parents, they still miss the beautiful "old times" People, it’s like waking up from a dream: times have really changed!

…

In August of the same year.

Molly, who lives at home, actually received an "admission notice".

The letter said: She was invited to participate in a scientific research project on "forbidden air zones" as an "intern researcher" while attending Capital University's new discipline "Tower Studies Major". The invitation letter said that Molly had the right to Use part of the research content as material for your graduation thesis. Yes, even the materials for the graduation thesis have been thought up for Molly.

The initiator of the project used to be a veteran engineer in the aerospace field. However, after the emergence of the forbidden air zone, "aerospace" lost his job and turned to the emerging "semi-research" discipline - "tower science".

He said in the invitation letter: Scientific research is about constantly challenging “unknown areas”.

Molly was flattered when she received the invitation.

"Uncle G, do you think this is strange?"

Yi Lin is roasting a bird from the Snowy Mountains in Mo Rendi's yard. Molly came here because she smelled the fragrance, and she didn't know who to talk to about this matter. During this period, her relationship with "Uncle G" tended to ease, although Molly didn't expect anything from Uncle G, an old antique. Opinion, but she mentioned it casually while nibbling on the fragrant meat skewers.

"Go ahead. It's more interesting than reading those boring 'time travel hypothesis' books."

Yi Lin encouraged with a smile.

"What's wrong with time travel? Is there a problem?" Molly raised her chest and questioned Uncle G's words: "I just wonder if there is another parallel time and space outside our world, and there, my father Mom, they are still alive and well..." Halfway through, Molly suddenly became speechless and bit her bones. After a while, Molly shook her head vigorously: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not sad for a long time. Ever since you took my dad to After grinding the relics into powder and drinking them.”

"Didn't you drink it too? You were all diluted, but I digested it well without any waste..." Yi Lin was puzzled, but under Molly's murderous gaze, Yi Lin quickly changed the subject: "Ahem, past events No need to mention it again. In short, the reason why science is science is because it must go through a rigorous process of 'proposing hypotheses', 'argument', 'experiments', and 'drawing conclusions'. There are no observers in time and space travel, so time and space travel has always been They are all 'hypothetical' and cannot become 'science'."

To be honest, Molly is indeed a little interested in "tower science". The reason for her interest is not simply because it is an emerging subject. In Molly's eyes, she believed that this was a "supernatural and mysterious phenomenon". But because of this, after she was rejected when she signed up to join the "Grey Mist Area Exploration Team", she had been brooding about it. She didn't expect to be invited The letter was delivered.

"Do you think the other party deliberately sold this face to Mo Rendi because you are the granddaughter of 'Mo Rendi'?"

Little Molly hesitated for a moment, unable to hide the trouble on her face, and nodded.

"Don't make trouble, you are a genius with a mental attribute of over 7.0."

Yi Lin touched little Molly's head: "You have to have confidence in yourself."

"Really? I always think that stuff is inaccurate. Don't you think it's tacky to have the title of 'Chief Scientist'? I don't know where this guy came from," Molly murmured in a low voice.

Yi Lin's face turned dark.
