Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

133. A good dream group1.part.1

Mulseth followed Ceria's instructions and pinned the device to the ends of his hair. He followed her example and lay down on the soft sofa.

As Ceria said, "Get ready to start." Mulseth suddenly felt a gentle radiance covering his consciousness.Then she felt as if she was traveling quickly in a long and narrow tunnel, but her spirit had broken away from the shackles of her body. It was a strange and wonderful feeling of a sense of emptiness and lack and a sudden sense of freedom mixed together. .

Mulseth couldn't help but sigh, the surroundings were still that gorgeous but unreal brilliance like a bubble.At this moment when she was curiously looking around, briefly drawing attention away from herself.The radiance flowed, the light and shadow condensed into substance, and she found that her spirit returned to her body.

Suddenly, she found that she was standing with Ceria, both wearing casual summer clothes, standing under the scorching summer sun.

This is a prosperous square, this is a strange city, strange people, strange plants, everything is so strange, except for one thing, Muir Seth's incomparable intuition feels the purity of this world , so pure that there is no trace of source stone components, and the degree of purification is much higher than that of the ecological park.

On one side of the square, there is a landscape fountain. The water surges in the fountain, spraying a cool breath of midsummer.Mulseth ran over and stretched out her hand to touch the body of water. She could feel that the water in this fountain was not very clean. There were floating algae and bacteria and no purified minerals... This was a The pool is just municipal raw water that has been exposed to the sun for too long.

But for some reason, Mulseth felt that this motor-driven fountain made him so friendly.

"Can such a scene really exist..." She picked up a handful of pool water and let it fall on the ground. The pool of water actually reminded her of the hometown of the same people she once visited with the help of Kekaoke. .

This pool of green water suddenly seemed like the depths of Sami, a pure land far away from the world and protected by nature, without any pollution from the Source Stone.

"This is Alpha's original hometown, a city with a population of tens of millions. There are many such cities in the land of her hometown. In that world, the Origin Stone did not exist at all..."

Mulseth suddenly raised her head and looked at Seria next to her. Her eyes were full of shock. Whether it was the exaggerated population or the fact that the Origin Stone was not used at all, she was so shocked... …Incredible.

"Without Origin Stone and Origin Stone Industry... How could they feed so many people with tens of millions of people? The entire Colombia only has a population of tens of millions." Mulseth saw the neon lights and lights hanging on the tall buildings around the square. Electronic billboards, constant traffic on surface streets.Rushing crowds passed through the square.

She blinked in disbelief because there was a distant roar in the sky. She raised her head and found that an aircraft was flying over the two of them in the sky at an unknown height.

"Alfa said it was a commercial airliner, carrying about a few hundred passengers." Ceria did not answer Mulseth's question. This was only the second time she had seen this scene.The busy city in front of her was different from the planetary engines she had seen before, the Hanging Garden space station floating in low-Earth orbit, or the land fleets that braved the extreme heat of hundreds of degrees Celsius and the doomsday-level giant winds and sandstorms.This city is so ordinary, but this ordinaryness still gives her a huge shock.

Those super projects and those technologies that transcend the times are indeed spectacular and shocking, but even Seria, who has considerable scientific literacy, will be far away from her own life because of those miracles when she sees them with her own eyes. But lacks the most real feelings and reactions.

But in front of me, these humans without racial characteristics are walking through this seemingly ordinary city, living in situations that are not too far from the life they are familiar with in every aspect.

Tremon is one of the top prosperous cities in Colombia, and even among the top in the entire continent of Terra. However, the population here is only more than one million. Running such a city is enough to make Colombia's government system and It is a huge system project that gives the bureaucracy a headache.

But this "ordinary" city has methodically supported a population ten times larger than Tremont, and this kind of city is actually just the norm in this world.This kind of shock is rooted in reality and can touch her soul most directly.

Alpha's original hometown seems to be using its simplest normality to mock Colombia, and even every country on that land, mocking their shallowness and mocking their short-sightedness.

……

Suddenly, Ceria felt a pair of hands grabbing her arm. She turned her head and saw Mulseth's eyes were clear but excited, and she couldn't help herself.

"Ceria, you know, seeing this scene, for a moment, I felt that I was really narrow-minded."

"Oh?"

"I have always been eager to screen and study the plants that are now accessible and cultivate them away from dependence on the Source Stone. But I ignored the most essential problem..."

Their eyes met, and they were both at a loss for words for a moment, until Mulseth reorganized his thoughts and words.

"The Source Stone itself is a natural foreign thing, right." Mulseth pointed to the plants not far from the square. Those plants are more or less different from those on the Terra continent, but as As an expert in ecology, Muir Seth has long been keenly aware of the similarities.

"Yes."

Seria didn't explain much. The scene constructed by Al Yafa was almost a perfectly restored universe, and the effects of everything were in line with the real situation.Muir Seth's ability does not depend on the Source Stone, it is a gift given to her by her bloodline.Here, she can also listen to the sounds of plants. What she can feel is a feeling of coexistence of differences and similarities.The ecosphere of Terra and the ecosphere of Alpha's hometown are similar in appearance.The current situation on the land of Terra is the result of the reshaping of the environment by the Origin Stone over tens of thousands of years.

"Forget it, we don't want to worry about those troubles anymore." As if she thought her head would hurt if she continued thinking about it, Mulseth shook her head and tugged Ceria's arm again, "We can take a look around this scene. Well, what I want to know more about now is this society and these people."

"Of course, Alpha completely outlines the urban area and surrounding areas of this city. We have a full 24 hours to move around here. Then we will go to the next scene. I can show you around." Seria smiled Then he took off his sunglasses and put them on the bridge of Mulseth's nose, "The sun is a bit hot, I'll give you these."

"Thank you."

134. A good dream group1.part.2

When the two of them walked out of a corner of the square garden, they heard the sound of gears starting to turn in their minds.

Ceria said there was no need to panic. This sound was a sign that the scene was really starting to work. From this moment on, the scene would truly come to life, and everything in the scene would begin to respond to the actions of the two guests. .

Is there really no need to panic?Mulseth looked at the people who were passing by the two of them with some restraint, but started to look back frequently because of their abrupt physical features in this world.

She had long discovered that humans on the continent of Terra and Alpha's original hometown, the humans in front of her, were not the same species biologically. The humans here did not have any obvious racial characteristics. They had a kind of Inexplicably "pure", as if the various races on the continent of Terra were modified on their biological templates.

As absolute aliens in this real and vivid world, what kind of things will happen to me and Seria?

However, Ceria patted herself on the shoulder and said, "Murseth, haven't you always been very confident about your appearance? Stand up tall and be confident, and everything will be fine."

"Eh, really?"

"Well, at least in this world, yes." Ceria did not continue. Before setting off, Alpha introduced her magical properties in more detail when he took her into this world for the first time and got her familiar with the environment. The origin of knowledge about other worlds.And Ceria also saw the crowd of passers-by and players who gathered around her enthusiastically looking for autographs and photos.

[This country's long-standing peace and rich cultural tolerance make people willing to believe that you are a highly skilled actor and a wonderful COSER, but they will not immediately think that you are a "Vaifan". ] Alpha introduced it like this.

Ceria explained this reason to Mulseth in a relatively simple language, which made her exclaim in surprise.Then Ceria took out her wallet and mobile phone from the clothes she wore in this world.

"In this country, electronic payment is already a very common and universal payment method. Alpha has set up enough funds for us to travel around in this account. Although this is a virtual world, it is better to remember to pay. It is morning now Ten o'clock, before ten o'clock tomorrow morning, we can fully experience this city. How is it, do you have any plans?"

"Is there anything worth visiting in this city?"

"There are too many, and I definitely can't finish them in one day. If you want to pick out the highlights..." Ceria knocked on her head, "The botanical garden of the local scientific research institute is a place you will definitely like; and then there are the regional museums, the city Building a museum; and an industrial park in the north? Alpha said that we can visit areas managed by enterprises and institutions during the day, and wander around the streets and lanes at night to experience social life. It is definitely not realistic to visit scientific research institutes in one day. Even if we have the highest authority in this scenario.”

"Then let's go quickly." Muerseth knew that what Ceria had picked out now were all the things she was interested in, so she didn't plan to wait any longer.Whether it is a botanical garden where you can directly come into contact with a large number of local plants and environmental ecology, a museum that can answer the question of "how the city developed to this extent" to a certain extent, or an industrial area where you can better understand the level of local craftsmanship and technology, Both are goals worth watching.

Mulseth looked at the map that Ceria shared and knew that the city was very big. However, Alpha did one thing that was very considerate - that is, during the commute, the day's schedule would not change. , which means that even if they are stuck in traffic for three or four hours, it will not waste their time to move freely in this urban scene.

"Driving around in a taxi is a good way to understand the local situation without wasting time." Ceria suddenly discovered the magical convenience brought by this setting.

……

"So, this kind of operation can still be done?" Mulseth looked at Ceria in shock as she fiddled with her phone for a while, and then a taxi with a regular livery drove up on the side of the road.

"The construction of this country's information network and civilian Internet network, both in terms of technical depth and overall scale, has exceeded the scope of our understanding. Countless user nodes, huge local and online databases, countless service base stations and physical networks , and together we can bring the already extremely convenient network applications that are still under development into thousands of households, which is something that even Colombia will find difficult to achieve in the foreseeable future."

"why?"

Ceria smiled and stuffed Muir Seth into the passenger seat of the taxi, and got into the back seat. Her big tail took up too much space in the car. Alpha's vehicles were designed very Obviously, the situation that the passenger has a big tail will not be considered. If she sits in the passenger seat, it will affect the driver's driving. "Network construction of this scale requires excellent top-level planning with a long-term vision, a complete and standardized supporting industry chain, and macro-coordination at the national level. This cannot be done by just one or two companies or several industrial groups. Something that can be done.”

"Hey, she knows a lot about national affairs." The taxi driver was a middle-aged man. He looked at Seria and her big tail occupying the entire back seat, and then looked at the person who was forced to sit in the passenger seat with a look on her face. The awkward Mulseth's pointed ears did not feel strange at all. The uncle smiled heartily, "Young people nowadays, some people always say that you are cynical, but I don't think so."

"Hey, Master, thank you for your praise." Ceria, who had already experienced it once, was familiar with it and just followed the Romans.

"Where to go?" the master asked with a smile.

"XX Botanical Garden."

"Okay..." The master fiddled with the mobile phone fixed beside the steering wheel, and then Kelsey's voice unexpectedly sounded from it.Ceria, who heard her own voice last time and asked Alpha specifically, knew that the voice came from the voice package of the navigation software and was a pre-recorded fixed voice.

"The two girls are dressed up so beautifully. They went to the Botanical Garden to take pictures. It just so happens that the park is open today, and the environment inside is quite good."

"Uh..." Mulseth hesitated and didn't know how to answer. At this time, Ceria took over the conversation naturally again, "Yes, we just heard that today is a special open day for several venues. "

Then Mulseth, who was in the front seat, cast a strange look at him through the rearview mirror: "Why are you so skilled?"

135. A good dream group1.part.3

Ceria used the reason "It's our first time to come to this city, and we hope to wander around and see the scenery along the way." She asked the master to drive around the city a few more times. Along the way, Mulseth wanted to lie on the car window. Looking at the city scene outside, Ceria was chatting with the driver.

The driver was unexpectedly enthusiastic and chatted non-stop with the two about everything from family life to national affairs.

"The girl in our family likes to play cosplay and go to comic conventions like these two beauties. Today's young people have so many entertainment activities. They are much better than those of our time. Society is really developing. .”

No wonder he didn't find the two of them strange. It turned out that he thought they were anime lovers who made cosplay.

Needless to say, the realism of the scene and world built by Alpha is really high, and even this kind of detail is done very well.Seria remembered the awkward look on the taxi driver's face when Alpha took her to visit last time, and suddenly felt mixed emotions.

Going around all the way, because the time of the scene does not flow during the ride, the skylight did not change during the more than an hour's drive, and the sun was still squatting near the top of the head.Seria skillfully completed the transfer payment using a certain blue software, and then took Muir Seth to say goodbye to the enthusiastic driver and arrived at the entrance of the Botanical Garden.

"Alfa said that the province where this city is located is quite rich in natural resources, and there are a large number of precious plant samples in the botanical garden." Seria pointed to the gate of the botanical garden. This building is in this city that changes day by day. , its courtyard wall looks a bit old, and it looks a bit out of place under the cover of vegetation.But it immediately intrigued Muirseth.

"Let's go in quickly. I can't wait any longer!"

After saying that, Mulseth was about to walk in, but was held back by Ceria, who took out her wallet in this situation from Mulseth's pocket and took out her ID card. "Don't worry, although you don't have to spend money to buy tickets, you still need to register."

A moment later, standing on the way to the botanical garden, Ceria looked helplessly at Muirset, who was as curious as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She didn't know whether to stop her from continuing to go crazy about the plant community here, or to Indulge her great passion.

"Can't you really take some back with you?"

"This is just data and simulation. If you want the real thing..."

"I understand, I understand!" Muir Seth suddenly held Ceria's hand, "Ceraiya, how about working for Alpha?"

Ceria burst out laughing, but since Mulseth asked, she just said it. "Your situation is definitely in line with the top-tier treatment of Siesta's talent introduction plan, and then there is also Alpha's package allocation of housing, all-inclusive food and accommodation, six insurances and two golds. It all depends on her mood during the holidays. Station station During the holidays, we follow local festivals; if we travel with the Star of Life, there is basically no work on the road, but we have to participate in operations and handle official duties when we get there."

Then Ceria briefly talked about the current salary settlement of the system under Alpha. Muir Seth made a rough calculation and found that the salary on the books was actually more than double her salary in Rhine, but Ceria specifically emphasized that One thing is that because Alpha fully adopts the artificial intelligence management system, there will be very little gray income.

"Very good, very good," Mulseth smiled and clapped, "To be honest, I'm heartbroken." For her, no matter how much money she has, is it important to have those precious biological samples from outside? Is transcendent science and technology important? Of course not.And as long as it is a reasonable project, you can apply for Alpha’s generous resource tilt.

"Oh, one more thing. Because field personnel often face highly dangerous situations, they have special injury insurance every quarter."

"Special injury insurance? What do you mean?"

"I'll save your life. Even if you take a shot from a high-speed battleship with your head, she can save you."

"Huh—!"

Mulseth has always hoped to find a safe way for his people to contact the outside world, or to create a place for them to accommodate them. For more than ten years, this wish has been like a drifting star, out of reach. , but now it seems that the hope of realization is just around the corner.

Mulseth was really moved, but she didn't tell Ceria, and now she still had a reason why she couldn't leave.Ceria noticed that she still had something to say, so she didn't reveal it.

"By the way, Ceria, if you have the chance to meet Kristen, you must let her see this thing."

"Well, I will."

Mulseth wandered around the botanical garden for a few hours. This scene and world were arranged for them after all. Alpha got rid of the crowds of tourists who would definitely be there on the opening day.This makes Muirset feel very comfortable visiting here.They also met a young professor who was responsible for explaining plant knowledge to visitors at the open day.

Muirseth chatted with him a lot, and the professor was very surprised that a little girl "wearing cosplay clothes" actually had such profound knowledge of botany, but her theoretical approach seemed a bit strange, and her understanding of specific plants was a bit strange. Side door.

The tour of the botanical garden came to an end, and Muirseth actually got a tome on botany from the professor. Although the book could not be taken out, Alpha very thoughtfully prepared a data recording function for the tourists, allowing them to You can copy the book into an electronic file and take it back to the real world for reading.

Ceria bought two portions of pancakes and fruit from a stall on the street in front of the Botanical Garden, and then took her to Snow King across the road to buy two high-quality and low-priced soft-packaged drinks.This very local life skill was completely learned from Alpha, but she really likes this down-to-earth simple food.

Then Mulseth was stunned again in the Snow King's shop. She looked at the large list of various fruit teas on the screen. Common sense told her that it was impossible for all the raw materials used in the fruit teas on the menu to be made from Supplied locally, some of the fruits on the menu have tropical fruit characteristics, and some seem to like growing in subtropical and temperate zones, and those cash crops have extremely strict environmental requirements.

You know, in any country or mobile city in Terra, you can only eat fruits produced in nearby areas and a small amount of products from the hydroponic park of agricultural modules. If you want to taste the fresh flavors from foreign lands, you have to Pay an extremely high price, or get nothing at all.

However, this roadside shop sells so many kinds of fruit tea, and the fresh fruit pulp makes you want to fill half a cup of it, and the price is actually a little cheaper than the pancake fruit at the door!

“Is this also the convenience brought by a complete industrial chain and national circulation?”

136. A good dream group1.part.4

After finishing lunch, the two of them sat on the bus and staggered to the next location. Mulseth spread the tome he took from the professor on his lap, taking advantage of the afternoon sunshine. I turned over it eagerly for knowledge, not caring about the shaking of the bus.However, considering that she is an elf who is good at controlling water, motion sickness seems to be physically avoidable. She only needs to stabilize her cochlear fluid.
