Cyberpunk: Raising the Corporate Dog

Under the guidance of the receptionist, Jingxuan still had many questions, but she also felt happy and novel.

Not long ago, she rode a rocket for the first time.

Although Aurore has not been here for two years, he is still very familiar with him, jumping on different walls.

If you want to change direction, you have to kick on a wall, and the reaction force will float over.

Both of them also had a plastic bag of drinks in their mouths. Jingxuan chose the apple flavor and Aurore chose the mango flavor.

Hold the drink bag with your hand and press it gently to inhale the sweet, delicious and nutritious liquid inside.

The receptionist provided these as a special offer when we got off the plane, but this was the only free thing in the entire Crystal Palace.

If you want to drink some pure water later, the price will be a hundred times the price on earth.

After traveling for a while, Jingxuan realized that she was already on the main road of the Crystal Palace.

They have already boarded a rail car, which is like a small train that provides rides and sightseeing at tourist attractions on the earth. It is used for transportation.

This is the ultra-long pipe that runs through the entire Crystal Palace, from the space dock to the solar array.

Jingxuan doesn't know the specific length of this "long stick", but using a large disk with a radius of 2.2 kilometers as a reference, it must be 2.5 times the diameter of the large disk.

4.4 times 2.5 kilometers, which means at least 11 kilometers.

This is very scary. Generally, aircraft carriers are 300-400 meters in length. We take an intermediate value of 350, and it would take 32 aircraft carriers stacked one after another to barely exceed one meter.

Of course, the "main stick" of the Crystal Palace is still very thick, but Jingxuan can't feel it inside. The internal space is not a big hollow.

It is divided into large and small passages and rooms, each with its own function.

Many staff members in uniforms were busy going back and forth, which reminded Jingxuan of hardworking little bees. It was very lively.

Here, too, there is no gravity.

When passing through a slowly moving circular door, the receptionist began to introduce.

Behind the circular gate is Crystal Palace Plate 1, the accommodation area for staff.

At the same time, the receptionist also passed the 3D map to Jingxuan.

Jingxuan took a cursory look and then closed it. There were too many eye-catching elements now. Who wants to look at the map?

Brother Dog's shadow was floating, looking around, but he was a little confused:

"Why do I know this place? Especially plate 2."

Jingxuan: "So Chen Yang came to the Crystal Palace 10 years ago? Your memory storage includes his content before 2067."

Brother Dog: "That's right. He came to the cyber world 20 years ago, so he must have been around for a long time."

After Brother Gou was silent for a while, he pointed in the distance:

"The next one is the ring gate of Disk No. 2, which is larger than that of Disk No. 1. Disk No. 2 is very large, with a diameter of 4.4 kilometers."

Jingxuan watched excitedly, thinking that's all. When the rail car really got close, she was still shocked:

"Here, is this really a door? It's just a huge toilet opening!"

Aurore looked at Jingxuan jumping up and down and couldn't help but touched her head:

"The connection port must be big. After all, the No. 2 disk is big, but the actual channel is very small."

As Aurore said, it's really not that big when you get off the rail car and get close to the pedestrian walkway.

There are dedicated removable seats.

The receptionist patiently explained the function of the seats and helped them fasten their seat belts so that they were secured.

The conveyor belt under the seat began to move slowly, giving Jingxuan the feeling that the rail car had been replaced by a smaller rail car, which was the seat car.

As soon as the access door opened, the seat completed a 90-degree turn. Jingxuan didn't understand what this was doing at first. Anyway, there is no gravity, so you won't feel anything if you push someone upside down.

The AI ​​voice on the seat starts to announce:

"Please note that we are about to enter disk No. 2. At that time, the gravity will gradually increase until it reaches 0.8 times the earth's gravity. Please prepare in advance."

Jingxuan looked confused: "What? What are you preparing for? How should I prepare?"

Auroer looked at Jingxuan and laughed: "It's okay, don't be nervous. Your body will suddenly feel heavier later. The seats have fixed our bodies. There won't be any danger. You just need to breathe well."

The ghost of Brother Dog sat on Jingxuan’s armrest:

"Don't panic, Xuan'er, after passing the door in front is plate No. 2. You see why the opening position is moving regularly, because the entire plate is rotating. Rotation will generate centrifugal force, which can simulate gravity."

Even after saying this, Jingxuan still became more and more nervous, and she couldn't hide her panicked eyes at all.

The moment her body crossed the opening of the passage, she felt the weight of her body. . .

The weight of the head is most noticeable, and the neck suddenly has to contend with it.

Not just the cervical spine.

The pressure on the thoracic and lumbar spine also increased sharply.

Because the angle of the chair changes, the conveyor belt originally located under the feet becomes a wall. The pipe also feels like an elevator due to gravity.

As the elevator (seat) continued to descend, Jingxuan also felt that her body was getting heavier.

The entire elevator is actually equivalent to a tube surrounding the "backbone" of the Crystal Palace. This tube swings at a constant speed with the "backbone" as its axis.

The closer Jingxuan is to the bottom, the greater the centrifugal force is, eventually reaching 0.8 times the G force.

Jingxuan felt that her breathing became extremely heavy, her heart rate increased, and she began to sweat.

It turns out that every person on earth is so awesome?

Everyone lives, eats, sleeps, and exercises under this kind of gravity all the time.

The shadow of Brother Dog beside him was equally uncomfortable. Jingxuan's senses were always in sync with him, but his hand was caressing the back of Jingxuan's hand with a smile on his face.

The elevator has stopped at the bottom. If the bottom is expanded into a wide-area perspective, and if disk No. 2 is compared to a coin, then Jingxuan is a bacterium on the thin edge of the coin.

A thin ring-shaped edge that allows a coin to stand upright.

The AI ​​prompt voice asks Jingxuan to sit here quietly for a while. The large screen here can connect to the signal, play news or choose a video or movie you want to watch.

In terms of procedures, guests of the Crystal Palace will be forced to rest for half an hour to adapt to gravity.

Of course, there is also a rescue team outside the elevator with complete equipment.

In the event that a guest's body suffers from serious functional disorders, they can rush in for treatment in time.

In fact, Jingxuan got used to it very quickly. After all, her body, whether it is a prosthetic limb or a natural body, has been trained by Brother Gou on a daily basis, and her physical fitness is first-class.

It was just a temporary degradation after living on the moon for a while.

When the time is up, the safety belt on the seat is automatically unbuckled and the door is pushed open.

Aurore also came out at the same time. Here, the new receptionist was also waiting. What kind of room he would live in and what level of service he would receive had already been decided. Now he just needed to follow the person.

Jingxuan raised her head, took a deep breath of air, and looked at the ridiculously luxurious streets. This place is so amazing!

She even forgot what she was here for. .
