Chapter 1024: Fucked! (1/2)

The majestic steel structure reaches straight into the sky, standing on both sides of the concrete platform as wide as a plain. From a distance, it looks like a double-edged steel spear poking from the bottom of the sea to the sky!

It was an artificially made valley, and it was in the middle of the rough southern sea!

Not to mention Dora's eyes widening in shock and standing still, even Ye Shi who got out of the hatch was severely shocked and couldn't help but open his mouth for a moment.

He seemed to be in the center of a huge "eight"-shaped tower.

Looking up, you can see the endless cliff, only the topmost part of the sky can be covered by a punch!

This is the Alliance's space elevator!

Although it was not as long as 90,000 kilometers, it was enough to shock his eyes.

"Holy shit..." Ye Shi couldn't help but mutter.

Good guy.

He has only been away for more than three months, but the alliance has already become so awesome? !

Jiang Xuezhou was also shocked, rubbed his eyes and looked again.

"...Is this made of ceramic steel?"

Finally recognizing the material of the steel structure, she took a deep breath, but was swallowed by the sea breeze and coughed several times before she calmed down.

Ye Shi reached out and patted her back, expressing concern.

"are you OK?"

"I'm fine..." After calming down his disordered breathing, Jiang Xuezhou raised his head and muttered, "You are exaggerating. Are you building a starship on the sea?"

Or two aircraft carriers standing upright.

But no matter what, this was shocking enough for her, who had only seen similar structures on the ruins of the People's Alliance era.

Ye Shi understood the shock in her heart at this moment. After all, he was not much different.

Although someone had previously dramatized the situation of passing through the elevator on the official website forum, the written description and dry photos were obviously not as spectacular as seeing it in person.

"...Although this is the first time I have seen this thing, I heard that this thing was under construction a long time ago and was only built recently."

and--

This is actually not just the result of the alliance.

From the beginning of the space elevator project, this project has been jointly participated by alliances, enterprises, and units and organizations at all levels of the South China Sea Alliance. In particular, Ideal Group has made a lot of efforts, and nearly 37% of the production capacity has been completed by them.

However, the rewards they gained from this project were also huge.

I heard that as of yesterday's close, Ideal Group has risen by 50% in the past 120 trading days, and has once again become the number one company in Ideal City by value!

This is the first time this has happened since Utopia was built a century and a half ago.

The Ideal Group, which was once reduced to a property company, with the completion of the space elevator and the injection of high-quality asset shares, once again opened up the imagination of the residents of Ideal City for the future, and once again made itself great!

In fact, it has changed from an ideal city enterprise to an enterprise of human civilization.

By the time everyone was vaguely aware of it, this had actually happened.

The same situation also happened to the Endpoint Group in Ideal City.

As the representative of the "most conservative force" in Ideal City, Duandian Group has always been opposed to enterprises' outward expansion of business in order to protect their market share and board of directors seats.

After all, there is no need for Internet access in the wasteland, and the chaotic environment is not suitable for building an endpoint cloud. A server costing tens of millions of Cr can be blasted to pieces with just one rocket launcher.

However, with the end of the Wasteland Era, this most conservative corporate subsidiary has become the most progressive force, actively promoting globalization like the Internet companies of the old era.

At present, the alliance's postal, logistics, industrial, financial and other industries have successively introduced endpoint cloud services.

I believe it won’t be long before civilian networks will be opened as the width of submarine cable channels expands and infrastructure improves.

By then, residents of Ideal City will be able to connect to their hometown’s Internet even while lying on the beach in Chip Harbor, and even have fun with netizens in Coral City buried under the sea.

After two and a half centuries, the human survivors in the eastern part of Middle-earth will once again welcome the Internet era!

I believe that will give rise to a new round of prosperity, and even turn the five giants in Ideal City into six, seven or eight giants.

However, that is all a story for later...

…

Not long after the group left the elevator cabin, a group of people quickly came from a distance.

One of the two leading people is Han Mingyue, a researcher at the Alliance Academy of Social Sciences, and the other is Sun Zewen, a researcher at the Alliance Institute of Biology.

Needless to say, the identity of the former is quite famous among players because he often appears in newspapers and publishes tasks to players.

As for the latter, new players may find it unfamiliar, but experienced players who have entered the game in the alpha version can still recognize it.

This person is a resident of Vault 401 and an expert in mind interference devices and resonance field theory.

The so-called resonance field theory is also the morphogenesis field theory.

As a result of the recent official establishment of the morphological field theory at the Alliance Research Institute, he, as a researcher in this field in the pre-war era, immediately became a contemporary leader.

The appearance with white beard and hair and a fairy-like spirit does indeed have the air of a dean.

However, Ye Shi remembered that when she first saw him, this guy did not look like the elegant old professor he is now. Instead, he was being rubbed into pills at gunpoint by a predator.

Just when Ye Shi was reminiscing about the days when he and his good brothers went to the dungeon together when the server was just launched, the old man had already rushed to him with an excited face and touched his hand.

The enthusiastic look scared Ye Shi and almost doubted the old man's orientation.

Seemingly aware of the abruptness of his actions, the old man smiled embarrassedly and quickly sent his hand back to apologize.

"Sorry... I'm a little excited, that... May I ask if you really have mastered psychic power?"

"Yes..." Ye Shi nodded stiffly.

Professor Sun Zewen rubbed his hands excitedly, and it seemed that he didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment.

I think so.

After all, it was a field that had never been penetrated in the prosperous era. It was the first time that humans came into contact with other dimensions outside the three-dimensional world.

Ye Shi suddenly felt like a qigong master, with a bit of a charlatan flavor.

Although he was not a real charlatan, he did communicate with Him.

Even if the one who actually talked to him was just an echo left by Him in this universe.

"It's incredible... If you're not lying, your experience will explain the realm beyond the dimension that we have never been able to understand... Ah, wait, I'm not saying you're playing tricks, I saw the news."

Looking at Professor Sun Zewen who was hurriedly explaining, Ye Shi shrugged his shoulders lightly.

"It doesn't matter. In fact, even on the planet Gaia, there are staunch materialists who doubt the existence of the Insof Tree. After all, that kind of thing is not something that everyone can see."

Dora said that the Qiu people had no psychics, but Ye Shi didn't think so.

For primitive civilizations with extremely exclusive religious culture, it is extremely difficult to accept psychics unless their culture itself contains psychic elements.

Maybe there are psychics in the Qiu tribe.

But because of their worship of the ancestors and the sky, and their hostility to the Insof Tree, it is likely that their society will spontaneously reject these psychic awakening aliens.

After all, their technical level has not yet developed to the point where they can unlock the "mind interference device", let alone use the power of pure technology to communicate with Him and hear His ridicule.

This result will lead to a situation where even if a person awakens psychic power, his subjective rejection will weaken his spiritual perception ability and eventually purify himself.

Ye Shi has experienced this situation personally.

When he was still a "stupid materialist", he could not feel the existence of psychic power at all, and at most his sixth sense was stronger than others.

When he tried to understand those things that he originally rejected and became a "smart materialist" or "cunning pragmatist", psychic power miraculously appeared again.

This is also the most interesting part of psychic power.

Whether this kind of spiritual ability exists or not and how strong it is is also determined by the spirit.

Professor Sun Zewen stared at Ye Shi intently, and his hungry expression was like appreciating a work of art, which might make the latter feel creepy.

But soon, his eyes shifted to Dora, and his expression became more and more fanatical.

"Humans on the planet Gaia... all have psychic power?!"

Ye Shi shook his head and said.

"Not everyone, even the tribes in the forest, only some people can."

"Just some people are incredible enough!" Professor Sun Zewen sighed, looking at him with fiery eyes and said, "Next time you go to Nanmen 2, please take me with you!"

Looking at the fiery eyes, Ye Shi took a step back subtly, made a regretful expression and said.

"I may not go again."

Professor Sun Zewen looked at him blankly, blurting out subconsciously.

"Why?!"

Ye Shi thought for a moment and said.

"How should I put it? The ruins on that planet have been excavated, and the Insof Tree has told us everything He knows about the pioneers... I don't want to disturb the people living on that planet. I have caused them enough trouble."

After a pause, he continued.

"But I will propose to the administrator to build an observation station there to passively observe their civilization process without interfering. Perhaps you can consider promoting this matter with me."

Professor Sun Zewen looked at him in astonishment, half puzzled and half surprised.

But in the end, he was relieved and just nodded with mixed feelings.

"This may be the best choice..."

He wanted to say whether direct intervention would be more efficient, but soon thought of the Human Union.

It's actually good to keep a respect for the universe.

As a survivor of the Human Union era, he felt the fall of the old glory far more than all the younger generations here.

"Well, there's nothing to regret... I think even if we don't have to go back to the Human Union era to find the lessons of history, the lessons left to us in the past two centuries are profound enough."

Han Mingyue smiled heartily and patted Professor Sun on the shoulder, then looked at the little girl named Jiang Xuezhou and said in a relaxed tone.

"I also found the most professional prosthetic doctor in the alliance for you-Mr. Ibers, CEO of Jushi Military Industry. He will be responsible for your prosthetic surgery and replace your bionic skin designed jointly by the Academy and Kangmao Group-"

Before Jiang Xuezhou could speak, Ye Shi on the side became nervous first and interrupted Dr. Han Mingyue's words.

"Ebbers?! Let that madman do the surgery?"

Han Mingyue said with a smile.

"He is indeed a little mentally disturbed, but his craftsmanship is probably the best on the planet... Even the people in the company say so."

There is actually nothing wrong with this.

But Ye Shi still felt a little uneasy.

Jiang Xuezhou held Ye Shi's hand and whispered.

"Don't worry about me. I am also an expert in prosthetics and will take good care of myself..."

Seeing that Jiang Xuezhou had already said this, Ye Shi didn't say anything more.

Looking at the tired couple there, Han Mingyue said in a joking tone.

"Okay, okay, it only takes a few days. The operation will be completed soon... Your mentor's research ship is already waiting on the tarmac. You'd better get there quickly."

Jiang Xuezhou nodded and was about to leave, but Ye Shi who was standing aside was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you coming with me?"

Jiang Xuezhou glanced at him sheepishly.

"What stupid words are you talking about, asking me to wander around with this... weird look? You don't mind me even if you don't mind me. In short, I won't follow you anymore... You take Dora with you Just take a look around with the little koala, I'll wait for you in Dawn City."

When she was in heaven, she had discussed with her mentor to go to Boulder City to cure her illness.

When she said this, she seemed to have remembered something, and added something as a warning.

"Also...you are not allowed to use someone's worship of the ancestor to do strange things! That is immoral!"

Dora tilted her head.

Perhaps because Jiang Xuezhou's expression was too vague, her psychic ability didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

However, although she didn't understand it, others on the side did.

Han Mingyue had the biggest reaction and burst out laughing, while Professor Sun Zewen coughed sheepishly, pretending not to understand.

Although he is also a resident of the shelter, he has recently become a rising star in academia and a leader in the field of "psychology", so he still has a bit of idol baggage.

As for Ye Shi, he was already choking on his own spit.

Weird things are okay…

There is really no need to accuse him of this crime. At least, let’s wait until he has the tools to commit the crime before he is unjustly accused!

But having said that, after returning to Dawn City this time, how about finding a way to install one?

Just when Ye Shi was thinking about this issue seriously, Dora, who had been silent for the whole time, whispered in an embarrassed voice.

"Did I cause you any trouble?"

"How could it be?" Han Mingyue walked up to her with a smile on her face, "Let me introduce myself, I am a researcher at the Alliance Social Science Research Institute, and I was entrusted by the alliance administrator to be your guide on this trip to the earth... Speaking of which , do you know what the Institute of Social Sciences is?”

Dora blinked.

"Your eyes tell me that you are studying our institution."

Han Mingyue had a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then said jokingly.

"It seems that little brother Ye Shi is not joking. Such a thing as 'psychic energy' really exists. But please don't mind. Our research is not malicious, it is just to deepen our understanding of each other on the premise of peace... We hope to understand you."

Dora nodded slightly.

"I can feel it."

Han Mingyue's eyes became even more surprised, and the interest in his pupils became more intense.

"Incredible...I am becoming more and more curious about things on the planet Gaia."

A society where psychics are common and the cost of trust between people is extremely low...

This forms an interesting and sharp contrast with her previous research topics, and may bring her unexpected inspiration.

Dora smiled shyly and said happily.

"We can talk on the road."

Just when everyone was chatting happily, a killer whale transport plane landed at Dawn City's airport.

Under the escort of a team of soldiers wearing exoskeletons, a black box was loaded onto a transport truck and driven to the warehouse of the research institute under the Alliance Scientific Expedition Corps.

At this moment, the alliance's chief scientist and managers are standing in this inconspicuous warehouse.

The black box was unloaded from the car, and two guards in power armor stepped forward to open the box, revealing the weird-looking reactor device.

Looking at the rough and even scrawled mechanical structure and metal dial, a strange expression appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"...Is this the so-called piercer?"

The so-called "pioneer" civilization is a "holy relic" left in this world by the hands of younger generations.

To be honest, this thing looks like nothing more than a junk that looks like a reactor, and the mottled rust makes people can't help but wonder whether it can still function.

If he hadn't watched the entire incident on the official website, he wouldn't have even been able to help wondering if that boy Ye Shi was joking with him.

The researchers present were all whispering, exchanging surprise and suspicion in their eyes.

Obviously Chu Guang is not the only one who thinks this thing is unreliable, even Yin Fang standing aside has a subtle expression on his face.

"... Anyway, let's give it a try first."

When he said this, Yin Fang waved to the side, indicating to the researchers waiting on the side to step forward and insert a fuel tank of matching model into the cylindrical metal tank.

This fuel tank is a second-hand empty fuel tank recovered from the Orion guided missile cruiser.

This is also Ye Shi’s suggestion.

According to him, a fuel tank must be "once full of fuel and not opened after all the fuel has been used up" to be recharged by the perforator.

This sounds a bit mysterious.

And it makes no sense.

However, in line with the principle of controlling variables, Yin Fang still listened to the strange suggestion and followed the steps completely during the first experiment.

The researcher who was ready for everything looked back at him and immediately pressed the button after receiving the command to "start experiment".

At the same time, an incredible scene happened. A dazzling white light suddenly bloomed from the center of the reactor and penetrated the solid tank in an instant, even making the latter transparent!

Facing the sudden scene, Lu Bei blocked Chu Guang almost subconsciously. X-16 next to him also took half a step forward warily, staring nervously at the dazzling white light.

Fortunately, the terrifying energy did not exist for too long. It quickly collapsed and eventually shrank to a point, which was contained by the fuel can inserted into the reactor.

As everything calmed down, the researcher operating the experimental equipment immediately stepped forward, disconnected the power supply, unplugged the fuel tank plugged into the tank, and inspected it.

At this moment, the most incredible scene happened——

After a series of tests, the fuel tank, which was originally exhausted, was now filled with helium-3!

It's like the empty fuel can was fake...

"This, this is incredible..."

Yin Fang's face was full of surprise, his eyes fixed on the fuel tank.

Chu Guang's reaction was relatively calm, but after a moment he couldn't help but sigh.

"I was tricked by this kid."
