Geeky

"Mr. Su, please follow me."

The man in front of him was wearing a white knee-length fringe uniform, with silver hair, a pair of opal eyes, and a faint and hazy glow from his skin, which made him not feel like a human on Earth.

嘡 嘡 嘡——

Su Shi heard his footsteps faintly echoing on the silvery ground, but the tall and slender man in front of him was silently leading the way through.

Su Shi followed the man forward, and together they passed through a silver-white hall with red carpeted aisles.The crystal tables are covered with red tablecloths. On the transparent white crystal chairs, the backrest and seat cushions are inlaid with smooth pink floral leather cushions that reflect the luster of milk. A large piece of enamelled porcelain with glaze.

All this looks like an illusory setting, so that the person sitting on the chair is also like an illusory projection——

A man was seated at a table near a carpeted aisle, his left hand was bound in a bandage and hung across his chest as though it had been broken.He held a wine glass in his other hand, and there was a simple but delicate meal in front of him, as if he was enjoying... dinner?

Su Shi only had time to take a glance, the silver-haired man didn't seem to want to greet him, and the man who was eating didn't seem to notice this side at all, as if they were transparent air.

The corridor was very narrow and long, and black wrought-iron glass lamps were lit at intervals on the silver walls, exuding a faint amber-like light.The floor of the corridor seemed to be paved with a whole piece of dark red wood—but Su Shi was not sure—with a luster like water, and even as it walked, it flashed soft and soothing golden ripples.

Su Shi followed the silver-haired man to a hemispherical hall. There were six sensor doors on all sides of the hall, and several holographic light screens were placed on the walls. One of them was like a movie theater, with different screening halls and movies on display. , and the rest of the light screens are all posters of movies that are showing.

In the middle of the hall is a silver sphere with a diameter of more than three meters.

The silver sphere has a beautiful square hollow pattern, and the hollow rectangles are distributed on the surface of the sphere into a geometric distribution pattern full of beauty and regularity.

When the silver-haired man walked up to the silver sphere, the sphere spun—as if it had been spliced ​​round by circle—like a Rubik’s cube being twisted by an invisible hand, and all the scattered hollow rectangles gathered in an instant up, forming a "door" shape.

The ground inside the silver ball is flat, and there are also exquisite hollow patterns.When Su Shi and the silver-haired man walked into the hollowed-out door, the sphere rotated again into a silver sphere scattered with rectangular hollows, as exquisite as a hollowed-out silver smoked ball.

The silver ball left the ground and flew upwards, and Su Shi discovered that it was an "elevator".

The dome of the spherical hall rotates in a fan shape to open a circular entrance, and the spherical elevator ascends into it and disappears into the white hall.

In the end, Su Shi followed the silver-haired man to a spacious and lofty room that seemed to be a "laboratory".

Although the room is as big as a private library, and the surrounding walls are built-in bookshelves.But this is obviously not a place to study.There are silver shelves of different sizes in the room, like some scattered and exquisite shelves.There are large and small spheres on it, some are silver spheres covered with connecting lines, and some are transparent crystal-like spheres.

Su Shi stood beside a waist-high silver stand, and the transparent crystal ball was like an exquisite viewing ball.Through the shiny transparent crystal shell, you can see the miniature continents and oceans inside. The waves beat against the rocks, and the birds are migrating... No, those are not birds, but flying dragons.The sphere in front of me seems to be interpreting an ancient Jurassic world.

Under the crystal ball, there is an animal skin book. The book is suspended between the four silver feet of the shelf. In the crackled blue light that appears from time to time, the pages of the book are silently and continuously turned, but they will never be turned. Less than the last page.

Although the flipping of the pages makes it impossible to see the contents clearly, and the written characters are also alien runes that Su Shi has never come into contact with, but you can still see the red color spreading in the book... Those black characters are constantly changing. During the flipping, the lines are continuously turning red.

Su Shi didn't know what this meant. He thought of Borges' "Book of Sand", and also thought of the program code that runs on its own...

On the right side of Su Shi, there is another taller silver frame, and the crystal-like sphere on it is even larger in size.Likewise, a microscopic world emerges in the crystal ball, a world that seems to be made of steel and concrete, not filled with greenery or sea blue like the world on the small shelf.The aircraft covering the sky and the sun passed through the ball, and black mushroom clouds rose one after another on the ground.From time to time, the surface of the crystal ball flashed golden-red lightning like molten metal, mixed with black fringes.

Under this big crystal ball, there is also a heavy book with a cover made of lead-gray steel plate, and the paper is flipping silently and quickly.The red color spreads the black characters one after another like a virus. When Su Shi saw the bold headline representing a new chapter flash by, the continent in the big crystal ball also changed its shape...

The crystal ball looks like some kind of 3D player. The silver frame and crystal ball that release the wonderful flocculent blue light are like a computer. After scanning the book, it reinterprets it in the form of a realistic 3D hologram.The thing that looks as simple as a primitive magic ball in front of my eyes seems to be a high-tech that transforms two-dimensional into 2.5 dimensions.

If this is the case, the amount of calculation must be huge to convert the text input and construct it into a holographic realistic dynamic scene.

Even Sushi from Earth in the 31st century has never seen a computer with this kind of operation.

The silver-haired man came to a bookshelf, and the bookshelves were full of beautifully bound or unique books, each of which looked so heavy.The silver-haired man's white fingers, which seemed to be emitting a hazy halo, passed over the hard and thick spines of the book, and stopped on the spine of a heavy golden book.The spine of the book looks like a beautifully carved column of antique gold, with a square dark brown "copper plate" above it bearing the title of the book.Different from other books, this book has faint blue light flowing from time to time.

Su Shi walked through the aisle in the middle of the silver frame and approached him.

The silver-haired man took down the book and put it under a silver shelf.

The book didn't fall down, but was suspended between the four silver feet. Under the flocculent light, it began to slowly flip the title page...

On this silver stand, the sphere placed is a silver ball. As the pages of the book are turned, the silver ball begins to glow, like an egg that has been peeled off, and gradually turns into a transparent crystal sphere... The speed of the pages is gradually turning. Speeding up, countless chapters of the book in black fonts were turned over, and this time there was no such spreading red.

Su Shi stared at the scene in the crystal ball. He saw a sealed city sinking into the sea, and saw a large piece of land flying up from the mini continent and disappearing into the white clouds.

Although everything was too small to see clearly, there was a magical power that attracted Su Shi's eyes.

At this time, he still believes that all this is displayed by higher technology.Although there are countless seemingly supernatural phenomena in the universe, science is simply not advanced enough to solve the mystery.

"I'm Noah,"

At this time, the silver-haired man spoke, and introduced himself to Su Shi in a subtly cold but not rude, rational voice, "That's the ship."

Such an opening statement has to be surprising.

Although the man in front of him looked a little non-human, Su Shi never imagined that the man was not a living body, but a hologram-like existence.

The silver-haired man simulates a "smile":

"Or you're more used to names like Spaceship."

"This is 'Noah's Ark', you can think of me as 'Noah's' AI or something."

The silver-haired man didn't leave any room for Su Shi to say something.

He continued:

"We don't have enough manpower, the longer it takes, the worse it will be for you."

He looked at the book that kept turning pages like gears, and Su Shi subconsciously followed suit, and the red text began to spread in the book again...

The silver-haired man's speech speed seems to be evenly accelerated, but it still has an absolute sense of rationality, so it is not easy to detect:

"Let me make a long story short, please allow me to be rude - next you will go to another world, you can regard it as the world in the book, there, you will complete a competition task."

"Please remember that although you become another person, if you die there, you will die once."

"If you win the competition, you will get a chance to be reborn, among other rewards."

"As for everything else, the Assistant will tell you."

The silver-haired man took a step back, and tried a graceful chest touching salute to Su:

"Mr. Su, I wish you a smooth journey."

He occupied all the speech space with a perfect sense of rhythm. After he finished this monologue, Su Shi regained the feeling of "finally able to speak".But before he could even ask a question, the crystal ball emitted a bright and dazzling white light, engulfing him.
