The Death Knell

The interior of the windmill is messy, but it is really not a mill. Various machines are piled up in almost every corner, and there are many bones dotted in it.

"Something happened in this stockade in the past. These people died here while working, because the door of the tower was closed, so the corpses remained, and the bones of those who died outside were gone."

The secret guest picked up a skull and squeezed it lightly, and the weathered bones turned into fragments in her hands. These people have been dead for a long time, and even the air in the tower no longer smells.

Su Ming, who listened to her analysis, inspected numerous machines on the side. Obviously, the wild people did not have the technology to manufacture these devices. They should have inherited the legacy of the previous era, but they may have inherited some things that led to their demise.

"Liana, go and restore the power supply."

He assigned tasks to the students and felt that these devices should still be able to start up. Although most of the machines can't be seen to work, don't you know if you turn on the power?

He can recognize electric sewing machines and printing machines, as well as things like centrifuges and mixers, but these devices together are strange enough.

The secret guest nodded and followed the cable to find the power source. She walked past the bones, and her back disappeared into the darkness.

About three minutes later, with a low buzzing sound, the entire windmill interior lit up. After the lights flickered a few times, the power supply stabilized.

"These machines are of very good quality." Liana, clapping her hands on the dust, returned to her teacher. She obviously liked reliable machinery: "But just a windmill can drive so many devices. They are very effective in controlling power consumption. The technology is also very high."

"If I guessed correctly..."

The death knell talked and walked aside, turned on a dirty terminal, wiped the smoke-covered screen with his palm, and watched the green cursor flashing on it to perform the power-on self-test, and then a pop-up like With a shield-like sign, he nodded:

"Sure enough, this is a product of Northern Central Positron Group, an electronic technology giant from the last era."

The secret guest who had learned about the world of the Dark Tower from the teacher through strangulation also checked other machines, and found the same signs on almost every piece of equipment that was not heavily rusted.

Although time has caused many of these signs to rust and peel off, the mottled residual traces can also explain their origins.

"North Central Positronics Group, how does it compare with your Wilson company?"

"It's really a bit like, but they are castles in the air." Su Ming rummaged in the cabinet near the terminal, searching for the data storage medium, and replied to the students: "They used to sell their products through a door. Different parallel worlds, and even different time and space, but unfortunately..."

Mi Ke leaned against the table with her arms in her arms, she squeezed a small button in her hand to play with, and rushed to answer:

"It's a pity that they don't master the principle of the door, so when the multiple destruction is restarted, and the roots are all scrapped, they will die?"

Seeing that the students were interested, Death Knell first smiled and nodded, then shook his head:

"Things are similar to what you said. After the loss of the portal to different worlds, they are indeed no longer a company capable of diversified trade. But they have not died. The skinny camel is still bigger than the horse. Today's The Northern Central Positron Group is still one of the giant chaebols in the middle world."

Compared with the western-style inner world, the situation in the middle world is more complicated. Often a city and a place form a system of its own. The Northern Central Positron Group relied on the technology left over to make a comeback and built a cyberpunk-style after the end. Cities, cities ruled by companies and chaebols.

It's just that because of the lack of production materials, this cyber city has a bad taste, and a lot of industrial punk-style things have been mixed in.

For example, in that city stood hundreds of thousands of meters high furnaces and chimneys. Petroleum and various chemical products were being refined all the time. The heat and smoke from the chimneys kept the city in darkness almost forever. inside.

Every urban area is built around nearby stoves or chimneys. People built settlements on the outer walls of the chimneys, and then these settlements are gradually connected in the air.

The city is wrapped in industry, and industry is the lifeblood of it, but the reason why Su Ming can still say that it is a cyberpunk city is because even if the industrial base is about to fall into the era of internal combustion engines, the North Central Positronics Group still Can make bionics, robots, implants, and operate digital networks.

Their bionic technology is a bit more advanced than the death knell, because the bionics of the Positron Group can even achieve "birth, old age, sickness and death", but Su Ming's own production will only be "broken."

In that city, the boundary between the real and the fake is infinitely blurred, and various scenes that are funny to outsiders but tragic to the parties are staged.

Just thinking about the relatives and friends around you are actually company-controlled puppets, you know how dark it is.

Su Ming probably talked about a few examples, all about how companies use bionics to deceive living people. uukanshu.com, fake wives, fake children, fake friends, fake cigarettes, fake alcohol, etc., are just a few simple examples in life, but the use of human nature has opened the eyes of the secret guest.

"Dark, it's too dark."

After listening to the teacher’s story, the secret guest’s face wrinkled into a ball. She really did not expect that the bionic prostitutes or dancers who had seen in Contracia would be used in some dark way. Such a terrifying control.

Sure enough, are capital and big data the best at grasping people's hearts?

"The bionic technology is terrible here. Once the bionics lose control and can realize self-assembly or replication, human beings will inevitably perish quickly. Even if they are not dead by them, they will be completely mad in the suspicion all day long."

Su Ming was just telling a story. He found a hard drive and plugged it into the dusty terminal in front of him.

The bionic technology in his hand came from Kang’s earliest gift, and later Howard improved it, but now it’s not perfect. Just a setting with a hidden energy switch under the back of the head is enough to make people discover that they are fake. people.

But the death knell will no longer allow the adjutant to climb this technological line. After all, the bionic man is just a machine, not a human.

Humans’ excessive pursuit of perfection and transcendence will only reveal their true colors in the end, that is, self-destructive tendencies.

When they can't create a perfect self, they try to create other things that look perfect to them, but how can imperfect humans make perfect?

It's okay to surpass yourself, but too much pursuit of perfection is destined to be a tragedy.
