Annihilation of the solar system

Chapter 364: City of Steel

pp

On the morning of the second day, Zhou Cheng stood at the door of the villa, bathing in the rising morning light. Last night, he tossed and turned in the neutrino monitoring images that kept lighting up.

Every time he turned on the real-time monitoring screen on his bracelet, the number of neutrinos was within the range he expected. Although he knew that if the neutrino flow oscillation amplitude exceeded 5, the bracelet would alarm, he still tolerated it.

I keep starting to view the image every few minutes.

Later, the focus of his attention was no longer the row of slightly jumping numbers, but his own shadow on the wall reflected by the light emitted by the holographic image, which reminded him of the ancient fable.

There is a group of prisoners in a cave who can only face the wall forever. When people outside the cave pass by the cave entrance with torches and some utensils, the shadows of those utensils will be reflected on the wall. Over time, the prisoners will naturally think that,

The shadow on the wall is objective reality.

One day, one of the prisoners walked out of the cave and saw the real world. When he returned to the cave and explained to his companions that what they saw were just shadows, his companions thought he had gone crazy and killed him.

Is the current prosperous age an objective reality or a mirage? Such philosophical speculation makes it even more difficult for Zhou Cheng to sleep.

With tired and bloody eyes, he looked at the pen in his hand, and then looked around at the new city that was slowly being colored by the rising sun. After taking a deep breath, he put the pen back

He put it in his pocket and said to himself:

"First take a good look at the world, and then find a way to embrace it."

After saying that, Zhou Cheng walked towards the yard.

Suddenly, he saw a car parked in the parking space at the door. Then he remembered that it was the y60 he had placed an order on the Internet of Things before going to see the commander-in-chief a few days ago.

He walked forward excitedly and walked around the car. Then he opened the car door and sat in front of the steering wheel. The car key was placed on the dashboard. Looking at this car that he had once encountered but could not get, he felt that

When the most familiar form truly appeared before my eyes, my excitement dispelled my fatigue.

Zhou Cheng turned the key and started the ignition, and the sweet sound of the V8 engine made him excited. As he drove the car through the streets, people on the roadside almost without exception would look at him twice. They may have never seen this before.

kind of car.

Zhou Cheng, who was in a happy mood, also carefully appreciated the scenery, buildings, fountains, sculptures, pavilions, etc. on the roadside for the first time. Although they were all extremely exquisite, what made Zhou Cheng feel even more valuable was that they all had their own unique characteristics.

Unique rather than cookie-cutter.

Unknowingly, the car arrived at the main square of the headquarters. The Bridge of Time and Space and the sculptures in the middle of the bridge were vaguely visible in the distance. Zhou Cheng squeezed the brand new steering wheel and murmured to himself:

"Then let's go and have a look."

After crossing the Bridge of Time and Space, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The black highway was horizontal and vertical, with tall buildings exuding silver luster on both sides. Although there was a large distance between the buildings, due to the sight of the

There are such high-rise buildings in the area, so there is still a feeling of high-rise buildings.

There are almost no decorations in the large open space between high-rise buildings, except for neat grids of aircraft landing pads. Such an almost minimalist style, accompanied by the sound of aircraft flying overhead from time to time, invisibly reveals a sense of

An irresistible sense of power.

Zhou Cheng drove along the road for a while and suddenly saw a small park with green grass and red flowers at the intersection in front of him. He parked the car on the side of the road and walked towards the park. Several humanoid men and women in the pavilion were playing violins.

No matter what piece of music they were playing, although they were all serious, the tone they produced was as bad as a beginner's.

He continued to walk forward. On a bench next to a European-style fountain, a humanoid woman was reading a book. The straight shape of the bench was somewhat incompatible with the surrounding style. She was so fascinated by what she saw that she

Zhou Cheng walked beside her and she realized.

She was stunned at first, and then her face was filled with a kind smile:

body

"Hello, my name is Yu Chijing. Nice to meet you. How can I help you?"

Her eyes, which are significantly larger than those of humans, reveal convincing sincerity and simplicity, and her pronunciation is surprisingly standard.

This relaxed Zhou Cheng's originally tense nerves a lot. After all, in his timeline, not long ago, humanoids were grinning and wanted to exterminate the human race.

Zhou Cheng looked around and replied:

"My name is Zhou Cheng. I'm just walking around, looking around. There's nothing special."

Yu Chijing maintained a warm smile and said:

"Mr. Zhou, this is your first time in a humanoid residential area!"

Zhou Cheng nodded:

"Yeah! Your name is very special."

Yu Chijing's smile was somewhat modest:

app,&~p.

"This surname is the name of a tribe in your glorious history. I don't know what the meaning is, so I borrowed it as a surname."

Zhou Cheng carefully concealed his surprise and nodded slightly, looking at the book in her hand. Yu Chijing noticed Zhou Cheng's eyes, she turned the back of the book over and said:

"I'm watching "Water Margin" and it's so wonderful. I really can't imagine how you wrote such a wonderful story."

Zhou Cheng looked at Yu Chijing carefully, her big eyes sparkling with admiration, joy and sincerity.

"Hey, what do you think of Song Jiang?"

"He is a heroic and heroic man! But I heard a human friend say that Song Jiang is very complicated, but I just can't read it." When Yu Chijing answered, the confusion in her big eyes perfectly expressed her

mood.

"Do you have any human friends?" Zhou Cheng asked curiously.

There was a hint of regret in Yu Chijing's big eyes:

"That's right. We met in this park a long time ago. He shared a lot of human culture and art with me. Maybe I'm too stupid. In his words, 'We are never on the same channel.' Later,

He rarely comes over, and I can’t go there.”

Zhou Cheng smiled lightly and said:

p

"It's normal for a thousand people to have 1,000 Hamlets in their hearts. Doesn't your civilization have its own stories and heroes?"

Yu Chijing looked embarrassed, with a hint of blush rising on her cheeks:

"We haven't done much education in this area. We only heard from the older generation of humanoids that we were a storyless civilization a long time ago. Look at this small park, it's all the work of your designers.

And that’s all we can make.”

She patted the bench under her body, whose armrests were made of right-angled square steel, with an expression like a child attending a party with a rough toy.

"Can I go to your house and have a look?" Zhou Cheng regretted asking this question because it was too abrupt, especially since the other party was a woman, but this was indeed what he was thinking about.

Unexpectedly, the embarrassment on Yu Chijing's face disappeared in an instant, and she happily agreed to Zhou Cheng's request. The two came to a tall building not far away. The huge building and the enthusiastic humanoid next to her made them stunned.

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but feel a little numb.

When he arrived at Yu Chijing's home via the elevator, Zhou Cheng was immediately shocked. The spacious interior had only a few semi-blocked partition walls, but it was three stories high from the ground to the ceiling, and the walls and ceiling were full of

Mirrors are arranged on the floor, which magnifies the already spacious space several times in appearance.

"The decoration in your home is so unique!" Zhou Cheng exclaimed.

"The layout of all our humanoid homes is like this. Perhaps this is the paranoia engraved in our DNA. Only in this open environment can we feel safe." Yu Chijing said with a hint of shame.

.

Zhou Cheng, led by Yu Chijing, carefully visited her home and found nothing strange except that there were almost no windows.

When Zhou Cheng was about to leave, Yu Chijing kindly asked him to stay for lunch before leaving, and used the concept of a family feast in human culture.

But ever since he stepped into the humanoid city, Zhou Cheng's slight uneasiness has not dissipated. After evading it again and agreeing to attend a banquet next time he comes back, Yuchi Jing regretfully gave up his insistence.

Zhou Cheng continued to drive deeper into the city with a feeling of surprise and trepidation. On the way, he was thinking, could Yu Chijing, who just understood human culture and art like a child, really be that group of people?

A humanoid member who drove his compatriots into the hills and slaughtered them intently.

His thoughts jumped back and forth between two completely different extremes, intertwined, and intertwined. Looking at the time scale of 2068 AD and 649 Eternal Era on the instrument panel, he murmured to himself:

"Has time really changed everything?"

It was at this moment that he realized that the tall buildings around him had become sparse. The road in front of him was also much narrower than before. This was not because the road had become narrower, but because the grass beside the road had crawled onto the road. He

We have arrived at the edge of the Eternal City.

After driving along the highway for a long time, the road ahead gradually disappeared among the green grass, the tall buildings behind us completely disappeared behind the green mountains, and only the rolling hills remained in the distance.

At this time, he saw what seemed to be a small garden on the green hillside in the distance. From the regular boundaries, it could be seen that it did not grow naturally. This aroused Zhou Cheng's curiosity. He put on the 4-wheel drive and headed towards the distance.

Drive in the direction of the garden.
