Chapter 262 Building 8: Fear of Heights
Zhou Yi looked at the newly completed high-rise building.

This person looks ordinary, with neither a unique appearance nor behavior that is different from the rest of the group.

Its quiet and stable appearance makes it seem a little out of place with its other brothers.

Emerald City said: "Building 8 is the most like me. It is silent and introverted, with a gentle personality and no aggressiveness. Its body is the strongest among all Emerald Cities because it has added a lot of light soot sand and more metal."

"But maybe because of this, it moves slowly and doesn't like to move around. It gets very tired and reluctant after walking a few steps."

"Another disadvantage is that it is very afraid of heights. It is easy to lose balance and become confused in the air. If it flies a little higher, it will shake constantly. It is very sensitive and afraid of heights."

"For it, staying quietly on the ground may be the best option."

You’re obviously very strong but you’re afraid of heights and can’t run?
Zhou Yi rubbed his face with his hands.

Number 5 was born during the war and is a warrior man. Number 6 is a rebellious warrior crab friend. Number 7 is a pilot. Number 8 has the best innate conditions, but exudes the aura of a peacetime otaku...

"Commissioner, although No. 8 can neither fight nor explore, it has its own areas of expertise."

Emerald City said.

Every window in Building 8 emitted strong light, casting a shadow on the strange black ground.

What were supposed to be grids of light spots split into tiny spots, and these spots began to arrange in order, forming a lifelike image of a warrior crab.

Zhou Yi was stunned.

Building No. 6 can display light spots on the main building, but its accuracy and flexibility cannot be compared with the scene in front of us.

It's like an electronic projection screen.

This gave Zhou Yi the idea of strengthening the controller.

This wasteland-era computer made of light printing, with sand pixels on the glass display, is very similar to the scene in front of us.

Zhou Yi asked: "It turned itself into an enhanced controller?"

"Commissioner, please let Shi Gandang explain the technical aspects to you. My understanding of these aspects is still very superficial."

moment.

The robot vacuum cleaner took over the Emerald City speech: "Chairman, let's start from the beginning. The training experience of Building No. 7 gave me and Building No. an idea."

"Emerald Cities born at different times will have their preferences and temperaments affected by the larger environment, which is difficult to change. But we can test and confirm the direction of their talents."

"For example, Building 7 has the strongest flying skills because it has a strong sense of adventure, a special liking for flying, and the longest flying time."

"I and Building No. 1 will use light printing to do a small test to see which light printing it is more sensitive to..."

They came up with something similar to the building life lottery, except that they set up a series of light prints in Building 8 to see which ones it was more interested in and would actively trigger and use.

After layers of screening, Shi Gandang came to the conclusion.

"Building 8 itself is quite resistant to destructive light prints, and it also obviously doesn't like anything related to violent movements in the outside world."

“But it showed an interest in projection.”

Shi Gandang said: "Building 8 wants to be able to extend outwards simply and easily without running around. Based on this, we have trained and directed it."

"Its proficiency in using this light print has improved rapidly, and it is very good at using light projection. It can even project light into the air and into the Dead Sea. The effect is even better at night."

"I think that Building 8 can be used as a beacon at night, projecting the company's warrior crab logo into the Dead Sea. This will not only be beautiful, but also guide the approach of foreign ships."

Zhou Yi: “…”

Is this ability used for this?

He was puzzled. “Isn’t this a great opportunity to build an in-body enhanced controller? It already has projection capabilities and can transform information projection into recognizable images, which is no different from the controller’s screen.”

"Chairman, that is technically very difficult."

Shi Gandang explained: "The enhanced controller includes multiple optical functions such as "write", "storage", "read", "output", "projection", "host", and "program system". "

"Projection only projects images in one direction and outputs them to the outside world, but it does not have the ability to obtain information from the outside world."

"Although the enhanced controller may not look large, it actually requires high technology. And there are objective difficulties in integrating so many light prints into the Emerald City."

"What do you think."

"Let's take the core console for example. The "console" is a replica of the original prototype of the existing electromechanical life console. It is composed of 8 parts and is the most complex part of the controller. The reason why the controller is heavy and large now is because the size cannot be changed. Whether the existing proportions are increased or reduced, the optical structure will cause abnormal operation. "

The photoprinting expert said with regret: "We can't determine the specific reason, but we can copy it and use it."

"This alone makes it impossible to transplant the controller into the Emerald City's body."

Zhou Yi understood.

This is indeed a technical obstacle.

but.

This was not a problem in his opinion.

"The Emerald City doesn't need a host. It is a life in itself. Its own consciousness and thinking are the host, aren't they?"

"How can it be the same?"

Shi Gandang insisted: "This is the standard for strengthening the controller. If one standard is wrong, the other parts will not be able to make up for it at all."

Zhou Yi said: "What I mean is that based on the actual situation of Emerald City, a certain degree of building mechatronization and intelligence should be carried out."

"For example, projection light printing is now available. This means that Emerald City can output visual information to the outside world."

"I noticed that the black floor for projection is made of glossy sand. It looks like this is a screen for special projection, right?"

He talked about his idea: "Then we can create projection walls as display devices for the residents of Emerald City to see. For example, danger warnings or some announcements can be projected onto the projection walls, right?"

"Building mechatronics... intelligentization..." "What you said is a bit strange... but it seems to be correct."

Shi Gandang suddenly came to his senses: "I have hit a dead end! I have been forcing the standards of the enhanced controller on Emerald City, so it cannot be applied and matched."

"The Emerald City itself is a living host. As long as the required light prints are integrated into it, human-computer interaction can be carried out in a completely new way!"

It became more and more excited as it spoke: "If we follow this line of thought, the host part will not be a problem at all. There are a large number of consciousnesses in the building life form, and each of them can be used for calculation and thinking, and can calculate synchronously..."

"We can also transmit image information to the outside world. For example, we can convert existing languages into images and construct a new alien language. This way, after the outside world uses a reinforced controller to project the screen, Emerald City can also read and understand the information given by the outside world."

“As long as we can write such a set of image languages, the life of architecture can communicate with anyone in the outside world through projection!”

"In theory, it can be done!"

"The biggest technical challenge is to write such a special language and convert it through existing human writing or programming language. In this regard, we can learn from the writing of prehistoric humans, which is called hieroglyphics. Yes... it is both text and pictures, which makes it easier to understand and spread."

"So, prehistoric humans have already solved the problem of building life communication. This is a universal language!"

"Amazing, amazing! We can only now understand their footprints from the ancient times. Prehistoric humans are so far ahead of us. I really want to see what they looked like when they were at their peak and walking with the gods..."

The sweeping robot became more and more excited as it spoke, and immediately entered brainstorming mode.

Zhou Yi was surprised: "Aren't you studying power structure and engineering?"

“In fact, many directions have intersections and commonalities.”

Shi Gandang said happily: "In the past, when we studied the life of buildings, we also relied on controllers as terminal information tools."

"Chairman, you have given me an important reminder! If we can compile this set of alien characters, the history of aliens not being able to communicate will be completely rewritten."

"I will devote all my time and energy to this so that I can make a breakthrough as soon as possible!"

It said: "Number 8 is very talented in this area and is also very interested in projection. I request that it assist me in the test."

Zhou Yi asked: "Will this affect check-in?"

"It doesn't affect it."

Then it's okay.

Because except for Building 2, Buildings 3 and 4 have been rebuilt, but with the increase in the company's population, everyone's requirements for housing are still increasing.

Even if there are enough mushroom houses, people still look forward to living in the more luxurious Emerald City.

This is a higher pursuit in life.

Zhou Yi said sincerely: "I wish you can complete it soon, and I also hope that the historic day will come soon."

"Chairman, I will do my best!"

Shi Gan Dang started to get busy with the Emerald City.

……

Two days later.

Sigma from Recursive City sent a message: "Mr. Zhou, due to the spread of the virus on Sunday, Recursive City will be temporarily closed for a week to conduct internal investigations and clean up."

"During this period, we will cut off the signal with the outside world. Please understand."

"understand."

Zhou Yi was curious: "The virus was very serious on Sunday?"

"It's very serious. Now all 138 mechatronic cities have been infected, but to varying degrees. Because the infected will be forced to work 144 hours a day after 24 hours, the mechatronic cities have a huge efficiency crisis. All places are arresting and isolating infected people... We have learned that a terrorist organization called the Mechatronic Knights is behind this."

"The number of spreaders is still increasing. There are many electromechanical lives out there who are also virus carriers. The Knights are also continuously updating the virus on Sunday."

"The Mechanical and Electrical City is looking for them and trying to capture them. If you have any information, please let us know."

“Please be careful too.”

"it is good."

Zhou Yi immediately slid the screen and found that the pages of Recursive City, Coral Mouth, and Mass Production City could not be logged in, and they were all shown as under maintenance.

The impact of Sunday's proceedings was much higher than expected.

"In addition, if your company needs it, Recursive City will provide you with our security program services, and conduct investigations and anti-virus work while ensuring the privacy of your company."

Sigma is very positive.

However, 703 had already eliminated the virus program, and it no longer affected the mechanical and electrical employees. In addition, the work schedule of five days on and two days off was officially established, so even if the virus entered the company again, it would not affect the work of various departments.

"Thanks, I'll consider it."

Zhou Yi suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "We'll contact each other later. I have something to do now."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Cut off contact here.

Zhou Yi looked at his watch.

The Black Water Ghost is emitting white light and seems to have undergone some special changes.

The white light suddenly spread out in all directions, covering the entire house.

"I'm already the standard clock!"

The Black Water Ghost's voice was very proud.
