Chapter 716: Climb a Thousand Floors, Your Fingers Can Reach the Sky, Your Hands Can Pick Stars!

As Hou Congwen finished speaking, the double-layer explosion-proof glass door of the laboratory began to slowly retract to both sides, revealing the space for entry.

Qiu Hong stepped in with a familiar step, and Su Mo followed closely behind him.

The first compartment in the laboratory was probably where Hou Congwen used to meet guests. It was only about 15 square meters, consisting of two simple tables and a few scattered stools.

Following Qiu Hong's push open door and walking in, there were several of his work areas.

"Teacher Su, Researcher Hou is now in the experimental area. Please follow me closely and don't touch these instruments at will."

The second room was filled with various direct contact instruments.

In the corner, Su Mo even saw a medium-sized operating platform that was the same model as his own, but obviously much larger.

Passing through these instruments, when he walked to a wooden door again.

Qiu Hong stopped, stretched out his hand, slightly pushed the door open, and pointed inside.

"Teacher Su, the next question answering will start after entering the door"

"No matter what you see, don't panic. This is a unique technology of our Academy of Sciences that allows you to better display the answer to the question"

"You just need to forget it. I believe Teacher Su will not be afraid." Before entering the door, Qiu Hong kindly reminded him twice.

But after seeing that Su Mo was still as steady as an old dog, his tone softened and he whispered with a smile.

To be fair, just this indifferent momentum, even if most researchers come, they are a few points behind.

If you really compare, I am afraid that only the first-class people of the dean can suppress it.

"I wish you success!"

"Thank you" After sorting out his thoughts, Su Mo exhaled a breath of turbid air and walked in through the crack of the door opened by Qiu Hong.

Wow!

For the first time, after entering the room, it was still a little dark around, as if entering a dark room.

But when Su Mo took another step forward, black and white were instantly reversed, and a dazzling light came from the front, and the person who was directly illuminated could not open his eyes.

"Is this entering the virtual reality?"

A familiar way of entering, a familiar sense of consciousness tearing.

He had entered dozens or hundreds of times, and had completely disassembled the virtual reality server, knowing its working principle.

Su Mo just shook his mind slightly, and then he released his mental defense, allowing this tearing feeling to take his consciousness to another world.

It seemed like only a moment had passed, and it seemed like several months or years had passed.

When Su Mo could see again, the scene in front of him had undergone a drastic change.

The original dark room disappeared, and it turned into a small lakeside building with birds singing and flowers blooming.

The lake is not big, it is a standard circle, with a diameter of about 30 meters, and white lotuses are floating on the surface.

There is a pavilion by the lake, and Hou Congwen is sitting in the pavilion at this time.

He had a smile on his face, wearing a blue and white robe that looked like a scholar, and his long hair was tied up with a hairpin.

Compared to the unkempt look he had seen yesterday, he now looked like a researcher.

But at this moment, Su Mo's eyes were no longer on him.

From the moment the small building by the lake appeared, his attention had been drawn to it.

Unlike regular wooden houses, this three-story wooden building, if you look closely, is made of bamboo as thick as an arm.

Each bamboo is about six meters long, thick in the middle and thin at both ends, and the force is extremely uneven.

But the strange thing is that after being built up through layers of interwoven structures, its stability is no less than that of a solid wooden house, and it can be called a masterpiece of architecture!

"Amazing, it is possible to integrate the concept of hardness and softness into a building, this skill is extraordinary"

It is not clear whether this small building was built by Hou Congwen. After seeing the architectural concept and technique clearly, Su Mo regained his mind and walked into the pavilion.

"I am Su Youzong, answering the questions released by researcher Hou yesterday."

Su Mo stepped forward into the pavilion, put down the suitcase in his hand, and bowed slightly.

"Su Youzong, very good, a total of 29 architectural questions have been released this year. So far, you are the third person to come to answer questions this year."

"Come, sit down!"

Hou Congwen said, waving his hand at the ground.

In the pavilion, which originally had only one seat, a burst of white smoke suddenly rose, and an extra seat appeared out of thin air.

And the small table used for tea was also enlarged several times, just twice the size of the suitcase on the ground.

"You seem a little too calm, aren't you curious about this place?"

Seeing Su Mo sitting down calmly, Hou Congwen's calm face suddenly showed a different emotion.

He was the first researcher to enter the Territory Academy after its establishment, and had never experienced similar exams.

But over the years, he has also seen many "candidates" fail to answer questions, and he has long been accustomed to it.

Moreover, when he first came into contact with virtual reality, he still clearly remembered his appearance as a bumpkin entering the city.

Compared with the current Su Mo, it seems that he is the candidate.

"Curious?" Su Mo smiled: "I have heard people talk about this thing before, and now it seems that it is indeed magical"

"Hearing people talk about it?" Hou Congwen was stunned, and then he seemed to have deepened a certain answer in his mind and stopped investigating.

"Okay, then let's start today's Q&A. Next, I will give you 30 minutes, and you can use all methods to convince me"

"Of course, it's not just the gadget in your box. I will also give you the authority to control this place. You can actually embody the structure in your mind on this land."

Hou Congwen stood up and pointed at the void.

The next second, the surrounding open space began to rise infinitely, and the small building that was so close was now one kilometer away.

Within a kilometer radius of the pavilion, there are no longer any buildings or debris that can block it, and it has completely become an experimental venue.

At the same time, in front of Sumo.

An illusory panel similar to a game panel also began to appear, with two different buttons imprinted on it.

[Create], [Modify]

The function is simple and easy to understand.

After just a few clicks and getting familiar with how to use it, Somo brought all his thoughts back.

"I have given a third level reward. As long as the building structure you give can carry a load of more than three hundred times, it will pass."

"Of course, you don't have to pay too much attention to this range. If the architectural structure you propose is good enough and impresses me, I will lower the standard as appropriate."

Seeing Su Mo finally starting to open the suitcase, Hou Congwen remained calm, but his eyes could not help but scan around, eager to see what was in the suitcase right away.

Finally, the box opened.

Under a few large pictures, he saw a small tower with a wooden structure.

"This" he frowned.

At first glance, Hou Congwen could not see what was unique about this wooden pagoda.

It's as if this thing is just a child's "doodle", just a little more refined.

Those architectural structures that are famous, those that have great potential, are in this wooden tower.

Not a single one could be seen!

"Sorry, because conditions are limited and time is available, I only built the finished product with wood."

"This wooden tower can withstand a load of about 150 times, and the ultimate load is about 200 times."

"I think that after switching to alloy, this result should be able to break through the minimum 300 times limit."

He put the suitcase under his feet and spread out the design drawings on the table.

Before Sumo could say anything further, Hou Congwen, who was sitting across from him, picked up the wood with a look of disbelief.

"This thing can withstand two hundred times?"

"impossible?"

As he spoke, Hou Congwen was not slow with his hands.

I saw him clicking in the void again, and with a roar, next to the pavilion, a wooden tower enlarged ten times in proportion sat on the ground.

"You used gluing technology, do you need me to help you replace it with mortise and tenon joints?"

Looking at the long pillar in the center of the enlarged wooden tower, Hou Congwen finally figured out the clue this time and said with a cautious expression.

"You shouldn't need it for the time being. You may need it after magnifying it ten times."

Standing up as well, Soma came to the pavilion and stared at the enlarged wooden pagoda.

The current tower is six meters high, and the details are clearly visible.

Under the breeze, the long central column appears to be stationary, but in fact it is swaying slightly every minute, reducing the load on the tower and transmitting it to the ground.

And those finely chopped wood chips finally became effective and began to provide strong support.

"Okay, then I'll start testing first."

"For the first wave, let's start testing at 50 times."

Seeing Lie Xin's joy, before Sumo could continue to speak, Hou Congwen himself was curious and took the first step to move.

After being enlarged ten times, the current weight of the tower has also doubled, reaching about two hundred kilograms.

Fifty times, it requires a load of ten tons.

I saw Hou Congwen casually making a move from the air, and pieces of thick iron plates marked with 100kg began to appear, heading towards the place where the tower body could accommodate them.

About five seconds later, the ten-ton iron plate was in place, reaching fifty times the load.

"Damn, is fifty times so stable? What kind of monster is this?"

Looking at the wooden tower that was motionless in the breeze, as if it didn't feel its weight, Hou Congwen rarely cursed.

Generally speaking, questions posted on the first or third monument tower may be unsolvable questions.

But there must be a solution to what was posted on the second stele tower.

Taking the current load problem as an example, the Academy of Sciences has set 300 times as the lower limit for researchers.

The main reason is that more than 70% of the researchers at the Institute of Architecture have the ability to build structures with a load of 300 times.

Only when you go up can it be considered difficult.

As for the structure of both rigidity and softness developed by Hou Congwen himself, although the maximum limit is about 420 times, at 50 times, it cannot reach the level of the wooden tower in front of him, as if there is no force.

"Next step, I'll double it a hundred times!"

Originally, I was thinking of increasing it ten times, but now, Hou Congwen doesn't plan to take it slow.

He waved his hand, and the evenly placed iron plates began to suddenly increase in weight, doubling from 100kg to 200kg.

In this way, just one iron plate is enough to reach the weight of the entire wooden tower.

"It's weird, it's really weird!"

After the aggravation was completed, Hou Congwen walked out of the pavilion with an exclaim.

He originally thought that the wooden tower would react somewhat when the weight was doubled, but the reality was that there was no difference between the reaction when the weight was doubled and the reaction when the weight was doubled.

"Shall I increase it to one hundred and fifty times?"

"Why not?"

After receiving Sumo's consent, Hou Congwen bit his lip and waved his hand down again.

Up to now, just looking at the reaction above, he has basically confirmed that the wooden tower can definitely bear the weight that Su Mo said before.

And if this thing is replaced with alloy, it is likely to exceed his limit by 420 times.

In this way, Su Mo's identity as a researcher is set in stone.

In just a few minutes, the two of them have become equal.

"150 times, start to react, and then I will increase it by 20 times"

The iron plate doubled to 300kg, and this time the wooden tower finally stopped being a breeze and began to make a buzzing sound.

Focusing on the front, Hou Congwen operated very skillfully, and the weight of the iron plate began to slowly increase.

170 times, the sound of the wooden tower slightly increased.

190 times, the long column in the center of the wooden tower began to shake slowly, making a slight sound.

210 times, the sound of the long column has begun to rumble, and the shaking amplitude has also increased.

230 times, the whole tower began to tremble, looking overwhelmed.

250 times, the moment the weight was added, the long column in the center of the wooden tower broke layer by layer, leaving only half, but the overall tower structure remained stable, which was obviously not the limit.

"Do you want to add more? It's about to collapse!"

"Add more!"

As soon as the voice fell, Hou Congwen stretched out his hand and pressed the weight button again.

In the blink of an eye, a load of 270 times appeared out of thin air, and the long column of the wooden tower broke in half again, leaving only the last two sections still supporting.

But it was also these last two sections that only rumbled even with 290 times the weight, without any signs of collapse.

"Miracle, this is simply a miracle, relying on the wooden structure alone, it can actually bear 300 times the weight!"

The pressure was increased to 310 times, although the wooden tower only lasted for about five seconds, it collapsed and disappeared into the void.

But the shock on Hou Congwen's face still showed how unreasonable this structure was.

"I passed the test?" Su Mo smiled.

As the volume increases, the load capacity also increases, which is beyond previous expectations.

But being able to pass the test smoothly makes Su Mo feel a little happy.

"I passed the test, how could I not pass it!" Hou Congwen turned around and said with a complicated expression.

"Do you still want to try to build the alloy structure yourself? If you are willing to pass it now, I can report a score of 300 times, but if you build a higher score yourself, the salary will also increase simultaneously"

"Okay, then I'll try it?"

Knowing the pressure he will face, Su Mo is not too sure with only a 300-fold load score.

The most ideal score must be at least 500 times, and the Academy of Sciences will be able to come down and stir up the water.

Seeing his decision, Hou Congwen stepped back and gave up the home court.

"Use the panel to create a building, you can try to connect this with your mind first"

Wow!

Looking at Su Mo who was clicking out of thin air, Hou Congwen stopped abruptly before he finished the first sentence of his reminder.

A moment.

The pavilion under the feet of the two suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding environment began to collapse and change.

The lake was absorbed by the earth and began to turn into hard gravel.

The jungle was taken underground, leaving one open area after another.

In the sight, a series of silver-emitting metals began to appear out of thin air, jumping freely like dancers.

As if given a second life, under the inspiration of Su Mo's hands, they rushed to the set positions and built one after another geometric curve structure.

Compared with the spliced ​​wood, this time, it was replaced with one-piece metal.

As soon as the first layer appeared, an extraordinary smell arose.

"Go up and take a look?"

"Go up?"

Seeing that Su Mo had already stepped forward and headed for the raised groove of the central long column, Hou Congwen had to follow stupidly, completely forgetting that he was the chief examiner.

After a while, the two stood still and were fixed by the metal lock that appeared.

Su Mo's mind moved, and the metal tower rose up!

Unlike Hou Congwen's slow pressurization before, Su Mo's confidence swelled after changing to alloy.

He immediately set the number of floors of the entire tower to 1,000, and the height reached a terrifying 1,100 meters!

Under the automatic calculation and generation of virtual reality, it was like taking an elevator.

In the eyes of the two, the buildings on the ground began to shrink rapidly, and the surrounding air began to thin.

And the blue sky that was hanging high above the head before, the silver stars that were looming.

At this time, it seemed to lose the sense of distance, just reach out and you can touch it!
