It is as vast as Feng Xu riding the wind, but does not know where it stops.
Floating as if left behind in the world, becoming an immortal and ascending to immortality!
Thousand meters high building, the sun and moon are close to each other.
The clouds are floating and falling, accompanying the whole body.
The first time he simulated the thousand layers, Hou Congwen on the side fell into a sluggish state.
And standing next to him, as the simulator, Sumo's eyes suddenly brightened!
"It's stronger. The computing power of virtual reality is indeed stronger!"
Eight years have passed, and the underlying architecture of virtual reality has basically not changed, and it still maintains its original logical operation.
But based on the concept of making big bricks fly.
After adding an unknown number of servers, the computing power of virtual reality is more than ten times or a hundred times better than what it was eight years ago.
Nowadays, when looking at a distance of one thousand meters, objects on the ground are still clearly visible even though they have shrunk dozens of times.
Looking around, countless light golden clouds are moving forward with the air flow, making it look like a fairyland.
Every detail, every texture, every detail is revealed.
Every physical structure, every force is analyzed, and the wires are in compliance with regulations.
"The skyscraper tower has 1,098 floors and is 1,199 meters high. Because it is formed in one piece, it weighs about 1,800 tons!"
"Three hundred times the load, that is 540,000 tons."
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and the concepts of half a million tons and five tons are completely different.
After all, the higher the number of floors of the tower, the greater the weight of the load, and the more factors need to be considered.
But it's a pity that the 540,000-ton tower, whose entire alloy structure is integrated into one piece, didn't move at all, as if it didn't feel any pressure at all.
"It seems that it can be at least five hundred times better," Sumo thought to himself, and he suddenly felt confident.
In fact, the current Pillars of Creation can only be regarded as an extremely weakened version.
Of the three pillars used for stability, during the renovation process, Soma only left one main pillar as the cornerstone, and directly deleted the other two.
But even so, the results obtained far exceed the upper limit that many ordinary researchers can achieve in their lifetime.
But before Su Mo could try again, Hou Congwen came out of his sluggish state and touched his head with a wry smile.
"Forget it, Su. Brother Zong, you should reduce the number of floors in the tower first. If you go higher, I'm afraid I will have to give you the funds for this month!"
"Let's try it at a lower level and it won't affect the effect."
Although the computing power of virtual reality has greatly improved compared to before, it can be allocated to each researcher, but it is extremely limited.
Of course, if you usually only use it to study some small objects, or small structures, or even simulate a living environment, the allocated share is definitely more than enough.
However, if it is used to simulate such a large-scale scene, it only takes a few minutes, but the cost is huge.
For example, right now, a three-minute simulation can use up half of an average researcher's monthly share.
"I see, everyone's share is still limited." Sumo understood, and quickly followed Hou Congwen's prompts and changed the number of floors of the tower all the way back to about 20 meters.
In the past, when he was using it alone, he naturally didn't care about any consumption. Anyway, if the energy was gone, he would just find a way to find it.
But now that there are more people, the Academy of Sciences allocates computing power in this way, which is extremely reasonable and can ensure that resources will not be wasted randomly.
"Continue testing, four hundred times!"
After everything was settled, Sumo and Hou Congwen went down to the ground to start testing the scaled-down version of the tower.
It is still the familiar iron plate and the familiar pressure method.
After the material was replaced with an alloy structure, even if the weight was increased four hundred times, not to mention the alloy on the outside of the tower, even the long column in the middle was extremely stable, with no sign of being unable to hold up.
"Brother You Zong, this structure is really amazing. The limit record of the tower structure in my construction courtyard is 680 times. At 400 times, the structure is not as stable as yours. There is no way you can break this record today!"
Hou Congwen introduced him, with a hint of envy on his face.
He went from being an ignorant guy to a researcher who gradually became rich in theoretical and practical knowledge, and then gradually climbed from the most junior researcher to the intermediate researcher level. It took him eight years.
Among them, the effort and sweat he put in were ten times or a hundred times that of others.
But now, I found that Sumo only needed to submit the building structure to the Academy of Sciences, and he would immediately obtain the status of at least an intermediate researcher.
"Try it and see if you can do it five hundred times!"
"Okay!" Sumo clapped his hands, and the iron plates on the tower automatically began to increase in weight, increasing five hundred times.
He didn't worry too much about things that were certain.
But when the sound of the 500-fold aggravation completion sound sounded, I still couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
Five hundred times, the weakened version of the Pillars of Creation is still as stable as an old dog.
This is enough to show how terrifying the Sun-Sun Armor equipped with this structure will be after it is formed.
"The record is 680 times, so I'll just increase it to 700 times and try!"
"Look at the limit of this single column!"
In other places, Somo might choose to hide his clumsiness and try not to show off his sharp edge.
But in the Academy of Sciences, in this cradle of talents founded by myself.
Soma only knows one thing.
Salary will only be linked to performance.
The stronger you are, the easier it is to gain the respect of others!
Boom!
With a wave of one hand, it crossed two hundred times at once. The iron plate responsible for weighting also suddenly reached the physical expansion limit and began to increase in number.
Then the second layer of iron plates crashed onto the first layer.
In the void, a pale yellow list with golden light fell from the sky and hit the ground hard.
White crane paper with gold patterned characters.
The list is densely packed with hundreds of different names from top to bottom, as well as records held later.
With just one glance, Sumo found dozens of names he was familiar with, as well as shocking limit values.
"The record for the tower structure has been broken in the Fengshen List!"
On the list, ripples flow.
With Hou Congwen's uncontrollable exclamation, the record of the tower structure at item 107 finally changed.
The original record of 680 times gradually disappeared and was replaced by a new record of 700 times.
And because he was in Hou Congwen's research laboratory, the name of the person who recorded the list naturally became his name.
"Researcher Hou, congratulations, I didn't expect that you would break through the record of 700 times."
"Damn it, Hou Congwen, it's seven hundred times harder for you to keep silent?"
"What the hell, didn't your broken structure only reach 420 times last time? Why did it almost double this time?"
"Let me see what structure is so awesome!"
Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.
The list is here, and all the places in the virtual reality are singing together.
Almost instantly, all researchers who were still in the virtual reality received a unified reminder.
This time, I realized that it was Hou Congwen who broke the record silently.
These people suddenly couldn't sit still and began to apply for permission to enter and investigate.
"Oh, I was the first to get the limelight. I'm so sorry for you, my clan brother!"
I was complimented, questioned, congratulated, and urged by dozens of voices.
It was the first time to experience such a scene. Although Hou Congwen was still a little shy, his face was full of cheerful smiles. He was enjoying it very much.
"Brother, how about I inform the dean first and let him investigate and let us go?"
"So good!"
Seven hundred times is still not the limit of a single-column structure.
However, at this time, having just broken the record of the entire Institute of Architecture, Sumo was not in a hurry to continue to break through. He only planned to wait for the director of the Institute of Architecture to be in place before trying again.
"Okay, the dean may be busy over there, so don't worry, let's have tea first!"
After some wording, edit the message and send it over the air.
Hou Congwen waved his hand and waved out of the pavilion, and the two sat across from each other again.
Only this time, Hou Congwen no longer had that contempt in his eyes, and Sumo no longer had that sense of anxiety in his heart.
"Brother Hou, can you first introduce to me the current situation of the Academy of Sciences?"
"Of course you can. If you have a clan brother, you can join the Academy of Sciences immediately. It's not against the rules if I tell you these things in advance."
After hearing Sumo's request, Hou Congwen readily agreed without thinking.
The reason why he isolated others and immediately came over to investigate was not as simple as he said.
The fundamental reason is that in the future, it is very likely that he will be promoted to a senior researcher or even a dean-level figure.
As the examiner and recommender, Hou Congwen valued this relationship more than others.
"Our Academy of Sciences currently has eight different departments, namely, the School of Physics, the School of Chemistry, the School of Architecture, the School of Mechanical Engineering, the School of Ordnance Industry, the Academy of Science and Technology, the School of Medical Sciences, and the School of Mathematics."
"Among them, the School of Physics is the first, and the Academy of Sciences is the last. Our School of Architecture is currently ranked third, only after physics and military engineering."
When it comes to the third one, Hou Cong's writing seems to be somewhat arrogant.
"Brother You Zong, don't look at the issues raised by our Architectural Institute as simple. In fact, as long as these things can be converted into civilian uses, it can completely change the current trend of disaster relief for us humans."
"Take your tower structure as an example. If we can build such a high tower structure underground, it can completely withstand some disasters that cannot penetrate the soil, and preserve the human fire from beginning to end!"
"Oh? It's built underground?" Sumo said with a straight face as he asked for advice.
In fact, Sumo discovered this when he was observing the problem on the Science and Technology Monument Tower yesterday.
Of all newly published questions, more than seven out of ten are about how humans survive underground.
Although such intensive questions cannot explain much, they can already reveal some information.
At this time, with what Hou Congwen said, he immediately discovered the clue.
"Yes, some brothers must have discovered that the disasters in the past two years have become more and more violent. According to our calculations, if this increasing trend continues, sooner or later humans will have to move underground. In this way
Only then can most people’s lives be saved.”
"Of course, maybe our worries are unfounded, but no one knows whether the next disaster will be."
Speaking of this, Hou Congwen paused and gradually stopped.
Eight years have passed, and the number of humans has shrunk dozens of times from the initial eight billion.
Today, the number of humans that only exist in the New World, according to summary statistics, is down to about 200 million adults, which is only twice the total population of Huaxia Henan Province in the Earth Era.
And this is not what worries humans the most.
Because of the uncertainty and frequency of disasters, only really large territories have the ability to ensure the safety and nutrition of newborn children.
In most ordinary territories, even if a child is born, only about 1 in 500 will survive.
Eight years have passed until now.
The number of human beings has experienced negative growth of dozens of times and skyrocketed by hundreds of times, but positive growth has yet to exceed the figure of one million.
If we continue to maintain this attitude, it will only be a matter of time before civilization breaks down.
"Brother, don't worry too much. At present, the disaster still remains in the basic aspects of celestial phenomena and has not touched the real level of destruction."
"Although the low temperature last time reached a terrifying minus 90 degrees, we now have trains that connect the entire New World. The poor can only benefit themselves, and the rich can benefit the world. It shouldn't be a problem to survive for a few more years."
"Besides, as long as we can withstand the pressure during this time, we can make a complete breakthrough and develop the fourth time."
Seeing Somo lost in thought, Hou Congwen realized that he had made a mistake and began to comfort him quietly.
It's a pity that before he could finish all his words, he didn't have time to tell what the fourth technological explosion was.
Suddenly, darkness fell in front of the two of them.
The lake, the pavilion, and the open space were all reduced to nothing.
Instead, there was a simple room of only ten square meters.
"Hey, why is there a power outage?"
"There is an emergency power supply in the courtyard. Even if it can't bear the virtual environment, it can't afford the lighting, right?"
In the dark room without windows, the blue emergency lights above the head have been turned on.
Hou Congwen stood up, smiled slightly awkwardly at first, and then walked out with a trace of sullenness.
There is no room for sloppiness in research work.
A power outage may wipe out a researcher's possible inspiration.
When no disaster strikes, this kind of mistake is simply outrageous!
"The logistics department is getting worse and worse. I told the dean a long time ago not to let people from the Chen family get involved. They can't even clean up the mess they made, and they still want to get involved in the Academy of Sciences. It's true."
"I want to see what other reasons you have today."
After clearing his throat, Hou Congwen cursed in a low voice, straightened his back and walked out.
Although he is not the person who broke the record, the name currently on the list is still "Hou Congwen".
Take advantage of this remaining power.
Hou Congwen, who had always been unhappy with the logistics department, had planned all his words in his mind before he even reached the door.
This time, nothing else.
We must work with other researchers to clean out the cancer of the Chen family from the Academy of Sciences, so as to create a healthy scientific research environment.
Otherwise, if these pests stay inside, sooner or later the previous "disaster" will happen again.
"Management office, help me with logistics!"
Picking up the emergency phone at the door, Hou Congwen dialed the numbers and kept talking.
But the strange thing is that the management office downstairs, which usually responded immediately, was as silent as a sudden power outage today.
I had no choice but to call three times in a row to confirm that the management office had been shut down.
Hou Congwen could only use the dim light to open the mechanical lock of the explosion-proof glass door, push open a small crack and get out.
"Qiu Hong, what's going on? Is the logistics department so stupid that it can cut off the power in broad daylight?"
"You find me a phone that can be connected. I want to greet these morons like the Chen family. Are they?"
After taking two steps, he bumped into Qiu Hong, who was approaching in a hurry. Hou Congwen opened his mouth and cursed.
But unfortunately, before he could finish everything, Qiu Hong, who was usually extremely well-behaved, was extremely abnormal today.
He suddenly raised his hand and covered Hou Congwen's mouth. He then secretly pushed Hou Congwen forward and pressed him against the side wall of the glass spiral. It was extremely rough!
"Qiu, let go"
A person who runs errands and does odd jobs every day has a lot of energy.
Sitting in the research room all day long, my body is weak and weak.
Being held down by Qiu Hong, Hou Congwen couldn't help but struggle a few times, but still couldn't break free immediately.
"Teacher Hou, stop talking and look behind you."
Pressing the hand on Hou Congwen's mouth a little harder, Qiu Hong lowered his voice and Qiang Zi whispered in his ear.
"Woo. What's behind?"
After hearing this whisper clearly, Hou Congwen was not stupid, and instantly realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
But unfortunately, before he could turn his head and look back.
boom!
A violent roar sounded suddenly, causing his eardrums to almost burst.
At the same time, a red-hot iron seemed to fly over his head, leaving an obvious burning sensation.
"Kill, kill!"
"Gun, who dares to shoot inside the Academy of Sciences!"
A second ago, Qiu Hong's whisper seemed to be still echoing in his ears.
The next second, the exploded head was like a watermelon opened by a hammer, scattering on the ground.
His face was smeared with blood, and Hou Congwen fell to the ground like a madman, his whole body trembling like Parkinson's disease.
Familiar sounds and familiar feelings were no stranger to him.
In virtual reality, I have been forced to try this feeling of being passed by a bullet dozens or hundreds of times.
But this time, the difference is.
This is reality, you only have one life, and it will not be resurrected like in virtual reality.
To die is to be completely dead!
"The Northern Military Region is doing business, and the rest of the gang should retreat quickly, otherwise you will be responsible for any casualties!"
"Three warnings, first warning!"
A cold, emotionless voice sounded from behind.
Upon hearing these familiar words, Hou Congwen's trembling stopped suddenly.
The next second, he raised his head blankly.
In front of his eyes.
The third floor was filled with tall, fully-armed murloc warriors from who knows when.
They were all muscular, clad in black robes, with ferocious expressions, and their bodies exuded a strong, nauseating fishy smell.
In their hands is the most powerful individual weapon developed by the Academy of Sciences, the Dragon Tooth Assault Rifle.
On their bodies, it is also the version of the Academy of Sciences that is still testing and is only specially supplied to several military regions as the strongest individual protective gear, the Hope Assault Device.
Everything, everything, is meant to deal with powerful foreign enemies.
But at this time, their guns were pointed at the target.
Absolutely exactly
A laboratory with only a gap exposed!
They targeted their own people!
Because the title involves a certain noun, it was directly targeted by the river crab mythical beast. I had to urgently revise a new version. The extra 600 words are given to everyone for free. Thank you for your support~
