Interlude Reality 01: Above the Moon Chapter 2 Orbital Elevator (Part 2)
Obviously, humans are different from humans. There are different and clear differentiations between natural humans and cyborgs, between cyborgs and disintegrated humans, and between disintegrated humans and semi-AI. However, Li Lin didn't want to know too much, so he just looked at the surrounding scene.
“No one…”
Looking at the high-tech interior facilities, Li Lin whispered.
There was nothing particularly noisy in this seemingly closed building. Although it was a waiting room, there were not .
The radio played very soft music, and the cleaning robots around flashed green lights, constantly adjusting and wiping every corner of the building with their mechanical arms, making the entire waiting room look bright and clean. The light on the ceiling was not glaring, and the patterns on it could even be clearly seen .
It seemed to record a mythological story from a certain era. The distorted limbs and images could not be distinguished clearly. One could only vaguely feel that it was a battle that took place in the Middle Ages or a certain dynasty. One group of people drove out another group of people, and then the race that looked completely different from the original people gradually settled down and multiplied. In the end, it seemed to be some kind of evolution or retribution, and it turned into its original appearance.
It is said that these are serial murals created by artists to welcome the space city's 40 million residents. These things will be spread all over the dome of each space elevator to praise human achievements. Although I don't know what is there to praise about this pure metaphor of invasion and assimilation, and I don't know what is painted on the mural covered by the light at the back, it is really good from the perspective of killing time. Although I can connect to the smart network, I always feel that it is not polite to go online directly when there is someone around.
Although Li Lin felt in his heart that the tour guide did not look like a human being.
"This is the sterile waiting room. We will wait here for a few minutes before we can go to the official cabin of the orbital elevator. By then, I will also say goodbye to you. I hope you have a good life experience."
Of course, the pink tour guide could not have the ability to read minds or similar superpowers. She was just an ordinary tour guide. Although her mind and brain tissue were cut off and a large part of the relevant thinking was handed over to AI, the female tour guide still believed that she was a pure human being and was still conscientious in her work.
The guide quickly extended a strange cable from his wrist, which gradually emitted a burst of blue light, like a living creature. Under Li Lin's slightly weird gaze, a camera-like shape appeared on the blue cable, which recorded Li Lin's slightly stiff face from top to bottom in the database, and then uploaded it to the main database, confirming that this passenger was about to take the space elevator.
"Just keep going forward along the third track to reach the cabin. I have other work to do. If you have any questions, please contact me as soon as possible. Do you have any other questions?"
Bringing Li Lin to a door frame in an empty hall, the pink tour guide said with a smile on her face.
What could go wrong? The whole process is fool-proof, and you don't need to understand the principles at all, just follow the instructions. If you have any more questions, your intelligence might be questioned, right?
Looking at the seemingly long automatic track, Li Lin looked at the magnificent decoration inside, shook his head at the tour guide, and said that he had no problem. Anyway, in this era, there is no need for any luggage, just wear a set of clothes and bring a terminal.
There must be a food store within 50 meters, a water source within 20 meters, and a public toilet within 100 meters. All people's livelihood is arranged properly under the arrangement of AI map, and of course there are no problems. So after the tour guide received a satisfactory evaluation, he also showed a happy smile, and then the expression on his face quickly became modular and commercial, as if the original cute appearance was recycled, gradually turning to another temperament, and walked outside.
"It seems that being a tour guide is also a very tiring job..."
Li Lin shook his head, turned around and walked onto the third track, letting the automatic elevator carry him forward slowly.
Although there are very advanced auxiliary AI and systems in many aspects, Mr. Newton's presence cannot be ignored in terms of movement. Although the elevator's speed is not slow, it is still some distance away from the orbital cabin. Li Lin can only look at the scenery outside the window.
Perhaps it was because he was in a place where high-level people were. At least from this angle, he could see a few vague figures walking into another black building. Compared to his overly deserted building, the building over there looked very lively, with a little bit of the overcrowded future world. But looking at the various noisy cyborg children and circuits flashing out of the window, Li Lin gave up the idea.
Although high authority can unconditionally stop any harmful behavior, looking at the engineering prosthesis with more than a dozen arms and those tall and weirdly dressed personal prosthesis, Li Lin always felt very reluctant and didn't want to mix with those so-called human compatriots. Even if he knew that his safety was not a problem, he didn't want to put himself in any dangerous environment. Others may unconditionally believe in AI judgment, but as a victim of AI out of control, Li Lin guaranteed that he would be in prison for ten years, and he didn't want to put himself in any dangerous situation.
Compared to these "lively and cute" cyborgs, as a thin natural person, I'd better just follow the higher authority obediently.
Isn't the permission dog only useful when it is needed?
"Well, the time is almost up..."
Turning his gaze back from the strange waiting room at the back, Li Lin looked at the sign in front of him and sighed.
After a few minutes, the speed of the automatic elevator slowly slowed down and stopped in front of a black door. A tiny crack gradually appeared on the black structure, and dozens of cameras inside emerged from it. After shooting at Li Lin for a while, they shrank back as if they had been electrocuted.
The next moment, the black structure that was like a wall silently disintegrated to both sides, revealing the magnificent hall inside. Looking at the first-class cabin of the orbital elevator that seemed to have cost a lot of money, Li Lin sighed and walked in slowly.
