Chapter 98 Staring into the abyss
Meng Chao was slightly startled and said: "I heard that they are relics of a starry sky civilization that we cannot understand hundreds of millions of years ago. They have been buried deep in the underground of other worlds. After millions of years of erosion, they were gradually lost in the long river of history.
"After Dragon City traveled through, it experienced a series of drastic geological changes before it was exposed to the world.
"The so-called Extraordinary Tower is a large-scale 'Ancient Ruins Research Institute'."
"Excavating ancient ruins, stimulating the earth's industry, and the explosive development of genetic martial arts and psychic technology, today's Dragon City can have so many powerful extraordinary beings and incredible 'black technology'!"
"That's right."
Luo Hai said with bright eyes, "This is a place where miracles happen. Everything is possible. Today, your spiritual veins are damaged and you will encounter some difficulties in practicing. But I believe that with the advancement of science and technology, the scope of exploration of other worlds will expand."
, the excavation progress of the ancient ruins is accelerating, we can overcome each difficulty, and you will definitely have a chance to stand on the top of the Extraordinary Tower."
Only then did Meng Chao understand what Luo Hai meant.
Regardless of whether the other person is sincere or polite, he always responds seriously: "Thank you."
"Stop talking about this."
Luo Hai smiled and said, "According to the rules, newly awakened extraordinary beings must register here. Let's go!"
Luo Hai was familiar with the road and took Meng Chao to enter through a special passage.
After verifying the registration code, scanning fingerprints and iris information, they took the maglev platform all the way to the 50th floor.
Meng Chao has ridden in an elevator before, but never before on a "sightseeing platform" that is suspended on the facade of a building and has a transparent side that overlooks the city.
The magnetic levitation platform was so fast that it literally pulled his hair and lifted it hundreds of meters up in an instant, making him feel dizzy and frightened.
Above the clouds, the doors of the magnetic levitation platform opened to both sides, and inside was a palace-like hall dozens of meters high.
Not to mention the splendid decorations, just the fact that such a large space is wasted like this makes people feel the power of the extraordinary tower.
In the center of the hall, a huge pillar rises from the ground and reaches the dome, like the backbone of a giant dragon.
The giant pillar is hollow, and like a big tree, it branches out into many branches, spreading into different rooms and facilities.
Both the giant pillar itself and the branched pipes are full of tiny holes, spewing out rich spiritual energy, which makes people feel refreshed, relaxed and happy, and every cell is eager to try.
Luo Hai told Meng Chao that this giant pillar stretched from the ancient ruins underground to thousands of meters in the air, like a special "oil well".
It can continuously extract the spiritual energy from deep underground and elevate it into the entire extraordinary tower.
The concentration and purity of spiritual energy here are ten times higher than those in the outside world. It is the best holy land for cultivation and scientific research.
Extraordinary people can practice here and reach the limits of life more easily and safely.
Monsters or spiritual plants are sent here for preparation, grafting, and hybridization, and it is easier to cultivate new varieties that are beneficial to humans.
Even the peerless magic weapons are forged here, inlaid with crystal stones and engraved with runes, and the success rate is much higher than outside.
Various undergraduate colleges, as well as various research institutes and large enterprises, of course, also have places similar to the "Super Tower".
After all, it is not as big as this place, with a large number of communicators, and with such rich aura.
Not to mention that many powerful people in society advocate freedom and do not like to be attached to any force.
Therefore, after the Transcendent Tower was completed, it became the training center of Dragon City, and its status was unshakable.
"My dad said that there is everything here, including training rooms, medical rooms, recovery rooms, materials trading centers, short-term training courses, military mission centers... Regardless of services or resources, what this place can provide is definitely the best in the city.
The best." Luo Hai introduced enthusiastically.
Meng Chao wondered, since the Transcendent Tower has everything and is of first-class quality, why are there so many training courses and trade fairs in the society, as well as many secret mission release centers on the deep web?
Everyone goes to the Transcendent Tower to practice and trade, isn’t it over?
"It's very simple. Although the Extraordinary Tower is all-encompassing, there is an iron rule for transactions here. Legal currency is not allowed, only 'extraordinary coins' can be used. The methods of obtaining extraordinary coins include - completing the tasks specified by the Extraordinary Tower and transferring rare
Monster materials are brought here to be traded, new martial arts, technologies and runes are developed and released, etc., etc., which is equivalent to a second currency system independent of the official currency."
Luo Hai explained, "When you get to university, you will find that the small circle of extraordinary people will use various tokens and even use primitive barter methods. The purpose is to prevent the existence of extraordinary people.
It has too much impact on the economic system of ordinary people.
"This is the theory of Fang Mocun, the old president of Longcheng University. He believes that extraordinary people are ahead of ordinary people in physical fitness and intelligence, and have an advantage in social production and economic activities. If everything is measured by money, extraordinary people are very
It is easy to crush ordinary people in every aspect.
"When the time comes, there will be a situation where every extraordinary person is a rich man, all ordinary people are paupers, the class trenches are insurmountable, and society is seriously divided, which is not conducive to Dragon City's colonization in other worlds."
Meng Chao thought about it too.
Last time Ning She and I were at the material fair outside, one demon dragon eye sold for six million.
Extraordinary people with a lot of money don't treat money as money at all.
If Chaofan Tower had not strictly controlled inflation, the economy would have collapsed in minutes.
Even if the economic system is barely functioning, extraordinary people earn tens of millions a month, and ordinary people earn several thousand yuan a month, how can they unite to conquer other worlds?
With this thought in mind, the two of them walked along the spiral escalator and came to a closed door.
A biohazard and skull warning sign is painted on the airtight door.
Meng Chao didn't know the check-in process for a new transcendent, but he knew from Luo Hai's interested eyes that it must be very "exciting".
Sure enough, when the sealed door opened, the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.
Under the dim light, huge transparent vessels were placed.
In the turbid embalming fluid, there were grotesque specimens and hideous human figures soaked in it.
"Wow……"
Meng Chao clicked his tongue in surprise and leaned over to observe carefully, his eyes almost touching the deformed organ.
Luo Hai was stunned for a moment.
"Aren't you afraid?" The president of the Jianzhong Student Council said with mixed emotions.
His father had long told him about the registration process for a new transcendent, and he was fully prepared mentally.
Seeing these deformed specimens still gave me a huge mental shock and made me feel sick.
But Meng Chao didn't even twitch his eyelashes.
This kid's nerves are really thick!
"Should I be afraid?"
Meng Chao was a senior harvester. He had seen and even touched the messy heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. What was so scary about specimens soaked in embalming fluid?
He thought for a while, "If I'm not mistaken, these are all mutated human organs. What's the point of putting them here to scare people?"
"Absolutely. These are extraordinary people who went crazy and died accidentally. They signed documents voluntarily donating their bodies before their death. Of course, there are also many evildoers who were killed and reused."
Luo Hao took two pamphlets from the door and handed one to Meng Chao, "The Transcendent Tower uses these deformed organs to warn the new extraordinary people not to be arrogant and think that breaking the shackles of genes will be great. On the contrary, you will get
At the same time as it has inhuman strength, our life system is actually more fragile and more susceptible to attacks and bugs. Therefore, no matter how strong you are in cultivation, you must walk on thin ice and be cautious."
Meng Chao flipped through the brochure and said with a smile: "Interesting, here the human life system is compared to a mobile phone system. 'Extraordinary' means 'cracked' and gain the authority of managers and even developers.
"The body of an ordinary person is like a closed system set up by the manufacturer. It is the best in terms of safety, stability and ease of use. The only shortcoming that is not a shortcoming is that it does not squeeze out the ultimate performance and efficacy of the chips and parts.
There are some shortcomings.
"Superior means attacking the original system, penetrating or even destroying the system, and seizing higher-level permissions, from administrator permissions to producer permissions, all the way to the lowest engineer permissions. The higher the permissions, the more you can do to the system and the phone itself.
The more upgrades there are.
"However, the higher the authority, the more powerful the system cracking, the more vulnerabilities, the more unstable the phone, and the more vulnerable to external attacks. There is also a term 'bricking' here, which means that the system fails to crack and the phone becomes bricked.
the meaning of."
"Yes, transcendence has risks. If you are not careful and go crazy, you can easily become a brick, that is, you will die."
Luo Haidao, "Actually, death is not the worst thing. The worst thing is for others to take advantage of your system vulnerabilities, plant various viruses and Trojans into your phone, steal your information and even control your phone - alien
The world is full of various mysterious powers, and the probability of being controlled by extraordinary people is often higher than that of ordinary people."
"It's written here too."
Meng Chao pointed to a line of words and read, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you. When you try to obtain inhuman power, the inhuman world slowly opens in front of you.
"Continuously traveling through the abyss, using inhuman power again and again, enduring unknown temptations and erosions, the alienation of the body leads to the alienation of the soul, and eventually...becomes like them."
Meng Chao looked at the deformed organs and bone specimens in the embalming fluid.
These specimens, which looked like the remains of demons, also looked at them quietly.
Luo Hai couldn't help but shuddered deeply.
He didn't want to stay any longer in the windy specimen room, so he pulled Meng Chao to the next room.
This is a small exhibition hall, surrounded by photos and many items on display. The screens on both sides "ping-ping-pong-pong" and the sound of fierce fighting can be heard.
Meng Chao laughed when he saw a blazing extraordinary being floating in mid-air who seemed to have the power to control fire.
Then he was shot down by seven or eight rocket launchers.
