Chapter 99 Rubik's Cube
Walking slowly on the alloy corridor, Yang Feng looked at the former majestic building, but today he is covered with a thick layer of dust.
When saving Liefu, Yang Feng turned around here. At that time, he felt a little familiar when he saw the building. However, some people can't remember where they have seen it. After all, after the integration of the real world and the virtual world, most buildings have completely changed their original appearance. Walking in the aisle, Yang Feng looked carefully at the surrounding rooms. These rooms have the unique architectural style of the 31st century, and the overall appearance is no different from the outside.
Just as he stepped into the depths, Yang Feng's eyes suddenly noticed a sign, which was a little dim. If he didn't look closely, he would really ignore the sign pasted on the door.
"Virtual Research Center!"
When he saw the six big words on this sign, Yang Feng was slightly stunned and suddenly realized, "No wonder he feels so familiar. It turns out that this is a virtual research center."
Yang Feng has visited a virtual research center before.
This virtual research center was originally a scientific research base for research and development of the virtual world, covering an area of nearly the size of a city. In addition to the top floor, there is also an 18-story research laboratory under the ground. I heard that the first cutting-edge intelligent brain Nuwa was successfully studied here, and the virtual world was also developed by nearly 100,000 virtual technology developers and various scholars in this base. Later, because of the transfer of the base, it became a museum to commemorate the birth of the virtual world.
Walking here, Yang Feng seemed to have returned to more than 800 years ago.
Walking slowly in the virtual research center, Yang Feng walked side by and looked around. Among all the buildings in Diyao City, this virtual research center is relatively complete.
At the end, Yang Feng pushed the door.
The door is locked, and the dense password keyboard above is flashing.
Looking at this password keyboard, Yang Feng shrugged his shoulders. The entry of this base requires identity and password. Although Yang Feng was the adventure king of Dark World 800 years ago, he was just an ordinary person in reality and had no right to enter it at all. Bypassing this gate, Yang Feng saw that the front was closed, so he planned to leave. Just as he left, Yang Feng noticed the sign on the other room beside him.
Walking over, Yang Feng inadvertently glanced at the sign.
"Professor Apollo's office."
Yang Feng was slightly stunned and took a look again.
Professor Apollo...
Of course, Yang Feng knows who Professor Apollo is. In the 31st century, no one did not know the name of Professor Apollo. He was the greatest virtual researcher in the 31st century and was known as the father of virtual. It can be said that the proposal of the virtual world was proposed by Professor Apollo, and the concept and framework of the virtual world were also developed by him himself. Even the first cutting-edge intelligent brain Nuwa program was written by him. Without Professor Apollo, the virtual world would not have been able to appear in a short time. Without him, human beings would not have entered a new virtual era. I heard that Professor Apollo has never left his office. Even if it becomes a museum, he still insists on working here.
Yang Feng is a little curious about legendary figures such as Professor Apollo.
Except for Apollo and close assistants, other researchers are not allowed to enter this office. More than 800 years have passed, and Professor Apollo should have passed away. If he knew that the virtual world he built himself made the world destroy and rebuild it, I don't know how he would feel? Maybe he will regret it. With wild thoughts, Yang Feng stretched out his hand and pressed the open button on the door.
click!
The door slowly opened.
After a while, the lights automatically turned on.
This is an ordinary studio with only three workbenchs. The items on it were lost to the ground in a panic, and many things were even turned over and thrown on the ground. Looking at everything in the room, Yang Feng couldn't help but be a little disappointed. In Yang Feng's imagination, Professor Apollo's studio should at least be different, but he didn't expect it to be so popular. Stepping into the room, Yang Feng glanced around.
Seeing that there was nothing, Yang Feng withdrew his eyes and prepared to leave here.
Huh?
Yang Feng's eyes stopped at the corner.
I saw that there was a notebook in the corner and a metal pen next to it.
Book...
Yang Feng was a little surprised.
You should know that in the 31st century, there was very little paper. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of various communication equipment, few people write on paper. Of course, there are still papers and notebooks, but very few, and most families use them as decorations. The paper of this book is specially made, and it will not rot and deteriorate even if it is placed for a thousand years.
Yang Feng walked over and picked up this notebook.
The slope of the notebook has a name. The name is written in cursive, but Yang Feng still recognizes it. The name is Apollo.
"I didn't expect that Professor Apollo still had the hobby of writing in a notebook."
Yang Feng flipped through the notebook at will. When he saw some records on the notebook, Yang Feng's face suddenly changed slightly.
This notebook is not a research and development record, but a diary.
There are some dates written in detail on it. Yang Feng just flipped it casually, but the date of the last diary is April 30. Looking at this date, Yang Feng's heart suddenly trembled. On April 30, a full month has passed since the catastrophe. Last time in the Smith College library, the diary that Yang Feng saw was only written for seven days, that is to say, the person who wrote the diary only lived for seven days, or he did not continue to write it after seven days. And the diary is relatively one-sided. Most of them describe some of the situation at that time and the mood of the person who wrote the diary. Yang Feng didn't write much about what he wanted to know. Yang Feng has always been puzzled by why the world will be destroyed and why there will be integration.
Professor Apollo is the builder of the virtual world. He is an authority in this regard. Maybe he can find the answer he wants to know in his diary.
Yang Feng thought of this and quickly opened the first page. He wanted to know in detail what had happened.
"It will be sunny on March 29th! My assistant Miffy and I were talking about virtual reality in the office. We have been studying this topic for a long time, and there have been some clues recently, because Assistant Rad has found a substance in the virtual world that we have never seen before, which I named dark matter. This kind of matter is different from the matter that can be seen and touched in our real world. It is like data and can only be sensed by means. In our research, we found that these dark matter are absorbing elements and making a strange transformation..."
Dark matter?
Yang Feng frowned.
"It will be overcast on March 30th! The situation is very bad today. The virtual world collapsed, everything was destroyed, and there were terrible shouts outside. Miffy was accidentally contaminated with strange substances falling from the alien space. She was infected and made strange changes. She became a terrible monster, and she ate many of our researchers. Why is this so? How can the virtual world collapse... I can't figure it out, but I have to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise human beings will be completely destroyed in this disaster..."
Strange substance...
A scene he saw in Yang Feng's consciousness came up. A robot was hit by a black light spot, and then turned into a terrible monster. Is it those things?
"It will be cloudy on April 6th! I have been in the research room for six days, and I haven't had a rest for six days. I found it, and I finally found it. But it's too late. Is there anyone else alive in this world?"
"It will be overcast on April 13th! Today, I found a researcher who is still alive! He is still alive! Although he has been infected, as long as he has not completely mutated, there should be a way to solve it. I've been decadent for a week. It's time to wake up.
"It will be sunny on April 26th! Due to insufficient manpower and lack of technology, I can only suppress those sources of infection and eliminate him. I'm tired, and I find that I'm also infected. I'm afraid I can only live for another three days. In three days, I will become a terrible monster. I have to let go. I passed on all my knowledge to my daughter, and she will replace me and continue to find the answer for me.
"It will be fine on April 27th! I spent a day using all the strength and technology in the base to make a Rubik's Cube with the help of my daughter. I hope it can carry all our civilizations and continue to pass on.
"It will be sunny on April 30th! Human beings are not the only life in this universe..."
Seeing this, Yang Feng was even more confused.
And at the foot of the note, there is Professor Apollo's last words: "Do you believe in the existence of gods? I didn't believe it, but now I believe it..."
Is there a god in the world? Human beings are not the only life? And Professor Apollo's daughter?
Yang Feng is more and more puzzled.
Let's not talk about the first two questions, Professor Apollo's daughter alone makes Yang Feng confused. Professor Apollo has studied the power of science and technology all his life, just to make human beings live a better life. He has never married and has never used the power of science and technology to have children. How can he have a daughter out of thin air? Professor Apollo is a figure of world concern. Has any daughter reported it for a long time? Moreover, Professor Apollo will not hide it even if he has a daughter, mainly because it is not necessary.
What did Professor Apollo find in the last few days? Why didn't he write it down? What do the last two sentences mean?
Yang Feng was confused.
Human beings are not the only life in the universe. What does this sentence mean? Animals and plants are also life, and there are more than one trillions of life in this world. Why does Professor Apollo say that human beings are not the only life in the universe? Or, other animals and plants are not life? If this sentence is understandable, then in the last sentence, Yang Feng completely doesn't understand what it means.
God?
Yang Feng shook his head slightly. There was no god in this world at all.
Perhaps it was the illusion that Professor Apollo had before his death, so he wrote down this illusion. After adding a reluctant explanation, Yang Feng shook his head and left all the problems behind. Yang Feng thinks a lot about these problems. Anyway, he may not be able to figure them out. It's better to throw them away first and figure them out when there is a chance in the future.
Put away the diary, Yang Feng glanced at the room and suddenly fixed his eyes on the table.
A diamond-shaped crystalline object attracted Yang Feng's attention.
Yang Feng walked over and looked at the diamond-shaped crystal. Suddenly, there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his consciousness.
"Magic Cube?"
Yang Feng looked at the crystal and couldn't help thinking of the Rubik's Cube mentioned by Professor Apollo.
I looked at the room again and found no other items similar to the Rubik's Cube. After a moment of hesitation, Yang Feng directly took away the diamond crystal.
