Interlude Reality 01: Above the Moon Chapter 25: The City Without Darkness
"You want to live in Jinghai City for a while and find a house to live in, is that right?"
“…”
Li Lin nodded silently to show his agreement.
Anyway, he has money and nothing to do, and on Earth he just repeats the same life day after day and year after year. It has been almost a year since he was released from prison, and every day is the same monotonous and boring life. It is better to change places and find some excitement for himself.
And didn't the little girl also say that she would build a biology laboratory near the Darwin Pit around Jinghai City? Even if I am a useless person who has taken advantage of loopholes, if I can support scientists who can truly benefit mankind, I should be able to make my own historical contribution. Just like the nobles and capitalists who sponsored scientists and sociologists in history, they have more or less contributed their own strength.
"It's like this, I plan to find a house here to live in for a while, or maybe live here permanently. Do you have any good recommendations or suggestions?"
“…”
O-12 did not directly answer Li Lin's question, but stood there and waited for a moment, as if communicating with the main brain.
After a while, this simple humanoid AI opened its eyes, and a large number of data streams presented for aesthetics flashed inside the light green glass body, indicating that this AI individual was in the process of transmitting data.
After a few minutes, O-12 shuddered and turned to look at Li Lin. A mass projection appeared on his wrist, and a circular city model unfolded from the AI's hand. As Li Lin watched with interest, their positions were quickly revealed on this large structure. Compared to the entire circular city, their positions were just the surface of the surface, almost overlapping with the landmarks.
"The whole Jinghai City is a circular structure that spreads out from a basic straight line to the surrounding axis. Each area is a diamond-shaped structure. The closer to the axis, the more stable it is. Of course, the housing prices will also be more obvious. Because the center is not affected by any aspects, it also has the most convenient transportation. In order to cater to the ideas of most people, a drop is deliberately created in the central square to serve as a landscape. You can see the entire structure of Jinghai City from the top floor of the building, including how the prismatic area softens and deforms, and how it is made. You can see it at a glance."
As if she had changed her personality, the originally silent and somewhat cool princess-type O-12 suddenly turned into a chattering house salesman. She uttered a long string of sales talk with an expressionless face, and completely described the structure and house framework of the entire Jinghai City.
"The only problem here is that the house prices are a bit high. Although it is not worth mentioning for someone like you, Mr. Li Lin, the surrounding simulated earth cultural park will provide many related facilities and services, some of which are not completely in line with the status of natural people. For a natural person's living habits, I suggest living in the critical point area below the central axis, close to the Darwin Mine. Although the defense force is second only to the central axis, it has the best ecosystem. The area with the most concentrated earth environment simulation devices is there. There are now quite a few vacant houses and land on both sides waiting to be sold. Once you have made your choice, you can directly select the quality projection and then call a specialist to take you to the location. You can also arrange the house decoration function in advance and complete the arrangement within 120 seconds."
"The moon's decoration function is completely based on nano-core technology, with bio- and metallization going hand in hand. It can complete the most perfect layout at the fastest speed. Even if you don't have anything before buying, as long as you have determined the model and structure, you can complete the complete interior construction within 120 seconds. As long as you can buy the copyright royalties of those layouts and the interior composition of the house, you can enjoy the fun of DIYing your own house at the fastest speed."
"Or you can use your own imagination to decorate the house you want. As long as the design is not more than 95% similar, it can be regarded as your own original decoration. In other words, as long as you buy a house, the decoration is free . Don't you think it's very suitable?"
“…”
Listen, it sounds like that's the case, but don't you think your personality is a little broken?
No, maybe AI is just like this. There is no personality setting or no personality setting. When it is necessary for him to speak, he will naturally say so much.
Something like this.
Looking at the O-12, which suddenly burst out with a bunch of sales words and began to shine on the entire mass projection, Li Lin carefully compared the introduction above with the news on his portable terminal. It should be said that he did not dare to deceive the A-level authority, or simply fulfilled his duties. There is no essential difference between the two descriptions. At most, the gravity at the axis position may change slightly with fine-tuning.
After all, the people living there are either high-end people or a large group of social elites, and cyborgization is simply a normal trend. The pace of life and lifestyle inside are also completely inclined towards the cyborg era. Most of the action devices require cyborg assistance and structural deformation. This is almost a disaster for Li Lin, a pure natural person. And around the earth-like pit near the seventh layer of the Darwin Pit, the ecological community that pursues pure naturalness is more suitable for Li Lin, a weak natural person. After selecting a location and setting the layout to be like his hometown on Earth, O-12 soon got the confirmation and nodded.
Then came the familiar snap of fingers. The ground beneath their feet began to sink, and the metal, like a stream of water, made way for them, quickly transporting them to their target location. Although the speed reached hundreds of kilometers per hour, it was unknown whether it was due to technology or some other reason, but they had reappeared at the door, and Li Lin did not feel any inertia or impact.
"Then I wish you a happy life in Jinghai City."
Standing at the door of the house purchased by Li Lin, the girl bowed deeply, then dissolved into the silver-white color on the ground again and quickly melted into the city.
After bidding farewell to this simple AI, Li Lin stretched out his hand and opened the door. After verifying the fingerprint and identity code, the door of the independent apartment was quickly opened. It was like returning to his own home, with the same familiar simple layout and the same familiar space. However, when he walked into the bedroom and opened the curtains, the outside world had turned into a silver-white ocean.
The lush green lawns of the terraforming facility outside the window and the groups of people having picnics seemed peaceful and harmonious. If you ignore the silvery fluids under and around the terraforming facility, it seems no different from your daily life.
“Maybe I’m the same wherever I am.”
Anyway, he is a stranger.
Li Lin curled his lips and closed the curtains again.
