Global Trial

The other party was tied up with four limbs, connected with strange tubes, and placed in a corner of the central computer room.

A total of five people were tied up there, two of them were in a trance and couldn't say anything.

Counting it down, it turns out that there are a total of five people who have come to the floating city from the ground over the years.

Maybe there are, but they no longer exist.

Xia Mingdong glanced at the time in the trial system, and found that it was still sufficient, so he simply walked up to one of the most normal-looking people, and tried to discuss: "I'll unlock it for you, but you can't call, or I'll immediately block it again." Put your mouth on it, oh, of course, this time with something even less wonderful."

That person kept saying "woo woo", nodding his head non-stop, wondering if he understood Xia Mingdong's words.

Xia Mingdong tried to take out the rag from the opponent's mouth.

The other party gasped a few times, and was about to ask Xia Mingdong something, when he saw Xia Mingdong wipe the rag that blocked his mouth just now at his feet.

Ground man: "..."

Could it be that he was preparing for him not to cooperate, so he continued to gag his mouth with the cloth that wiped his feet?

Even though he had been tortured for an unknown amount of time, he was still frightened by this action, and he didn't dare to do anything else.

Xia Mingdong casually threw the cloth aside, smiled and said: "You seem to be cooperative, so tell me, what's going on with you, why you were tied up here, if I remember correctly...you should It’s those ground people who came to Floating Void City through studying or fighting, right?”

The eyes of the people on the ground dimmed for a moment, and they nodded: "Yes, yes, I came up through study. I study very well, and I think I am a genius. I can learn everything as soon as I learn it. I will definitely make contributions to the ground. The Floating Void City is going to do a big business, but I didn’t expect... I was imprisoned here, my body data was collected, and I was locked in this dark place, providing nutrients to the central computer all the time.”

If Cen Heng was here, he would probably be horrified, why people can still provide nutrients for computers.

However, Xia Mingdong and Ning Ge are here.

The one who doesn't change his face no matter what he sees, the one who always smiles, and can calmly look at all very reasonable things.

I only heard Xia Mingdong say calmly: "Repeat your experience of coming here again."

The man on the ground began to narrate his own affairs, his voice was hoarse and difficult, and Xia Mingdong couldn't bear to hear it anymore, so he fed him a bottle of water.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the people on the ground.

Xia Mingdong: "..."

The man on the ground said excitedly: "I don't know how long, how long I haven't drank water."

Maybe the rhythm shouldn't be interrupted, but Xia Mingdong still couldn't help asking: "How do you usually live?"

"Crystaloids will inject us with nutrient solution to maintain our most basic life needs, but nothing more."

Xia Mingdong thought of a problem discordantly.

Humans always have physiological needs, how can the ground people be solved when they are locked up here.

But he didn't want to challenge his endurance, so he skipped the question and continued, "Tell me about your experience after getting on the carrier."

All this is like a nightmare to the people on the ground.

"That day I boarded the carrier full of joy, hoping to change my destiny through knowledge and create miracles. But after I got on the carrier, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I didn't see any people from the floating city who came to welcome me in the carrier. , only the cold AI, they didn't pay any attention to my meaning, I tried to ask them something, but was injected with an unknown drug, immediately lost consciousness, and I was here when I woke up again."

Xia Mingdong: "...Have you met anyone from Floating Void City?"

The other party hesitated and nodded, "I've seen it a few times, they seem to come down to survey the central computer, and I've only seen it a few times in a long time, I want to say something, but the other party turns a blind eye to me, as if I'm some kind of rubbish .”

Xia Mingdong: "From the perspective of crystal people, maybe the ground is really useless."

People on the ground: "...how can this be, we, we are all human beings."

"No." Xia Mingdong shook his head, and stated lightly: "Crystal people may never think that they are the same race as you. They have an inexplicable sense of superiority. They call themselves masters, geniuses, and maybe they can dominate the solar system and become Super civilized."

The people on the ground were dumbfounded, not expecting this at all.

Xia Mingdong asked suddenly: "Have you ever put a book in the carrier?"

The people on the ground nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I let go of one before."

"You were imprisoned here, how did you release it?" Xia Mingdong asked: "Also, why did you release that book? What did you find?"

"I have discovered a lot." The man on the ground said with difficulty and pain: "You know, I have learned a lot of knowledge on the ground, I have learned all the knowledge I can get in touch with, and I have been observing when I am here. I saw a lot of things when the computer was on and the numbers were flashing on the screen. I knew...the Crystal Man was trying to steal the sun's energy, and I didn't think it would be possible.”

Xia Mingdong listened quietly.

"I have always advocated the power of knowledge. I believe that knowledge is the ladder of human progress, and books are the ocean that nurtures us. Before I came to the transport ship, I randomly chose a book to take away. I didn't check which book it was when I chose it. I think Whichever book I get is God’s choice. It wasn’t until I saw everything about Crystal Man and tried to get the book out of my body that I realized that the book was “Revere the Universe, Revere Nature”. "

The underground computer room was very quiet, so quiet that there was only the white noise of the central computer, and the flickering lights of the computer became the only background light source here.

"I thought of a way to throw the book on the conveyor belt. I only had a glimmer of hope that someone might read it. I didn't expect someone to see it. I am very happy."

"Conveyor belt..." Xia Mingdong asked, "Where is it?"

"It's right next to it, but it's only open twice a day."

"Do you know when it's on?"

"I saw the time on the computer a few times." The ground person calculated, "It should be around [-]:[-] in the morning and around [-]:[-] in the evening."

This is a very delicate time, and it should be exactly when the carrier ship lands to deliver supplies.

"Do you know where the conveyor belt leads to?"

The man on the ground shook his head, "I don't know, I just tried to throw it, and I didn't expect it."

Xia Mingdong stood up slowly, relying on the flashing running lights of the central computer, slowly walked deeper.

Sure enough, there was something like a conveyor belt in the depths.

Crystal Man's underground is likely to be connected, from here you can go to other places, at least you can go to the delivery ship to distribute supplies.

Xia Mingdong closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked the people on the ground: "Apart from what the crystal people did to the sun, did you see anything else here?"

The people on the ground thought about it carefully, "There are a lot of things, everything, all kinds of technology of the crystal people, manufacturing..."

Xia Mingdong asked slowly: "Have you seen the process of making their crystal body?"

The people on the ground emphasized: "Yes, I have seen it many times. It seems that their crystal bodies often need to be made."

"about how long?"

The people on the ground have been locked up in the dark for a long time, and their perception of time is not strong. After thinking for a while, they said: "It should be once every seven days."

seven days...

That is to say, the crystalline body of the crystalline person is not always perfect and does not need to be replaced. Their crystalline body usually has a shelf life of only seven days, and it must be replaced once the shelf life expires.

The crystalline body of the crystalline person should be regularly tested for everyone's body data and produced as a set, otherwise there is no way to explain the fact that he has been wearing a crystalline body since he was a child.

After all, crystals don't appear to be malleable in any way.

The crystal person uses his own crystal body all the time, the crystal body has wear and tear and durability...

He suddenly realized a possibility, and asked the people on the ground: "Have you ever seen the manufacturing process of the crystal body and found the loopholes in it?"

Loopholes?

The people on the ground thought about it for a while, and then answered as if suddenly enlightened: "I have seen the molecular structure of the crystal body, and that molecular structure is not resistant to corrosion. Any kind of corrosive chemical products can destroy the crystal body."

Corrosive chemical products...

Xia Mingdong didn't think that the crystal man would leave something that would pose a fatal threat to him in the floating city.

If there is anything in the small world of this level that can threaten Crystal Man, it must be on the ground.

If he wants to destroy everything Crystal Man has now, he must be tough.

He suddenly understood what the third option was.

Leave it all to humanity.

It is also a way to destroy the balance here and drive the spaceship away by himself.

If you choose this method, there will be too many hardships in the road ahead.

They want to smash the transparent cover of the crystal man, destroy the switch door at the transmission channel, destroy the central computer, and then destroy the crystal body of the crystal man.

After that... maybe you can consider sending some knowledge to the people on the ground, and leave everything to the level small world itself.

After all, they are just outsiders. If everything is handed over to the people in this trial level, it may be much better.

Xia Mingdong smiled, looked sideways at Ning Ge, and asked, "Are you interested in doing something big?"

Ning Ge said slowly: "I will accompany you whatever you do."

"Very good." Xia Mingdong patted Ning Ge on the shoulder, and then walked to the front of the central computer, "Before we do a big job, we need to know all the plans and timelines of the crystal people, find out the loopholes here, and complete our project." Task."

Although the number of crystal people is not many, it is also several times the number of the four of them.

It seems to be another story about using the strength of four people to move the whole level.

The author has something to say:

I'm here, I'm here, I'm sorry for being late

It's so hard to write...
