Overturned Tower

"...like a gene pool."

Russell was a little surprised: "Did the dragon allow them to do this?"

"The giant dragons forbid humans and newly born elves to study history, nor to write history in books. But they did not destroy the existing history, nor did they let the elves who knew the history die suddenly.

"In other words, they just don't want history to spread.

"And what Sun Island did happened to be on the bottom line of the giant dragon.

"The Sun Island gathered all the books that the elves could collect. They put together all the knowledge of the old era that they had preserved when they fled to Sky Island to form a huge 'Sun Library'. And the knowledge here Allowed to enter but not allowed to exit... Once a very small number of human beings allowed to enter the Solar Library, they cannot leave, nor can they access the network. Only in this way can they avoid the dragon's prohibition.

"Everyone knows what they are secretly researching. But these ancient intellectuals hid secrets and kept secrets from anyone, and they didn't seek any allies. They just settled in a corner.

"Apart from the scriptures in the church's 'Holy Temple' and the historical documents stored in the 'Mage's Tower' on the ground, this is the most likely place to store historical truth."

Bad Ri also stared at Sun Island and said softly.

Russell was a little surprised: "Then why..."

"It's strange. The Tower of Babel has never attacked the Sun Library."

Bad Day smiled: "It's like..."

"It's like you guys knew from the very beginning that there wasn't what you wanted here."

Russell interrupted: "When you assassinated those directors, you even avoided Thoth's psychic power, and you didn't hurt any directors who belonged to Thoth's psychic power.

"Considering that the Tower of Babel can get the help of director Amirus...

"Thothling has something to do with the Tower of Babel."

"You should say that the Tower of Babel has something to do with the power of Thoth."

Bad Day corrected.

Russell raised his eyebrows: "Didn't the Tower of Babel exist during the Battle of Faith? And the power of Thoth was only established in the Sky Island Era."

"The Seven Giants did not appear until after the Sky Island Era began, but Thoth's spiritual energy is different."

Bad Sun shook his head: "Thoth's psychic power was born in the earth era. At that time they were called the Stargazers Alliance."

"... stargazing?"

Hearing this, Russell froze for a moment.

Bad Sun also smiled helplessly: "That's right. There are only a few stars, not as bright as the sun, and not as warm as the moon. I don't know what to see."

... indeed.

The sky in this world is gray, and few stars can be seen at all. Naturally, there is no such thing as "astrology".

Russell pursed his lips.

He vaguely realized something.

"Didn't you ask me, where is the body of the Tower of Babel and what it looks like?"

Bad Ri smiled lightly, and pointed to the disc on Sun Island with his chin: "No. Did you see it?"

"...You mean, the Tower of Babel was once a disc?"

"In terms of appearance, they are almost the same. They are all such a golden disc.

"The Deer Head calls the Tower of Babel the 'Wandering City of Babel'. It can quietly adhere to the lower city of any floating city from below, and maintain its operation by stealing the energy of the floating city. I don't think so. Is this situation similar to the disc on Sun Island?"

Bad Ri smiled casually: "You don't even need to think about it, you know that this kind of technology is not available to ordinary people.

"And as you said... the Tower of Babel was built much earlier than Sky Island. When the main body of Sun Island was still a mage tower, there was no such thing as a first disk and a second disk.

"There is no doubt that the man who built these discs is the same man who built the Tower of Babel in the first place.

"He should be one of the directors of Thoth Psychic... I suspect it might be their chairman."

"Chairman?"

"Yes. Chairman Nitibas... an elf whose destiny is [star]."

Bad Day slowly said a rather awkward name: "Ridiculous fate, isn't it."

Chapter 8 The Triple Disc of the Isle of the Sun

Bad Ri never came to Sun Island, because he would obviously be despised here.

Except for the more than 800 people, all the residents of Sun Island can only live on those "discs".

They are strictly divided into three classes according to their different levels of wisdom.

Outstanding researchers who can analyze ancient technologies and study new-generation technologies can live on the "First Disc", enjoy more superior treatment and a better environment than Tianen Park, and hold enviable super high salary.

And when they want to consume, they can go to the "Second Disc" on the upper floor for luxury shopping and enjoyment.This is the place where businessmen stay. The idols, stars, and bosses who are worshiped in Happy Island all live here.Their airship landing pad is also established here... When all guests from other places access Sun Island's network, they will also be assigned the "Second Disk" identity verification.

One level higher is the narrow and crowded third disk.

It is called "foolish people" and "thick soil" by the lower-class residents.Mere contact with them is "stained with dirt".

The residents of the third disc have no entertainment at all, they just repeat the endless boring work day after day.

Unless they can show superior wisdom at the childhood stage, they may be discovered by the "wisdom inspector" from the second disc inspection, and connected to the second disc school for free learning. They at this stage are called "Seeds" - "There are good seeds in thick soil", this is a proverb in Sun Island.

If you fail, you will be expelled and returned to the third disc; but if your grades are good enough, you can be transferred to a higher academy for the next stage of study.

If you can show extraordinary talent in it, it means blooming, you can enter the first disc for advanced research, but you can't bring your family, because they are still rough and dirty without being submerged in the water of wisdom.Or they can also teach students in the second disc, or engage in business and simple research and production work... In short, they have a good life.

Because of this, Sun Island is the only empty island where the status of merchants is inferior to that of scholars.What kind of product do the bosses want to develop, they have to talk to the masters about their product needs in a humble way... If the other party has a temper, they may not do it halfway.

Because any product and research cannot bypass patents—and the secretary committee can announce that any research and production have stolen their patents and confiscate them; in the same way, an excellent Sun Island doctor must also Holds a large number of patents in hand.For them, a patent is a knife sharp enough to let those bosses work for them as long as they want.

The residents of the lower disc can go to the upper disc at any time, and they can also leave at any time; but the ID codes of the residents of the upper disc limit their range of action, and they cannot enter the lower disc without permission, so as not to cause damage to the lower disc. The "wiser ones" of the chart cause trouble.If you want to get down, you can only jump from the edge of the disc—if you can make your own glider, you might be able to sneak down alive.

But just smuggling doesn't make any sense.The end result is usually the research material after being caught... but the upper-level residents obviously don't know it.

On their side, there are also entertainment literature works that enter the lower disk through a glider and hide their identities to become big shots.Everyone who flies down on a hang glider will be envied by them and imagine that they have lived a good life... Maybe they also know the truth and are just deceiving themselves.

For wisdom and knowledge cannot be hidden.No matter how good the disguise is, once you open your mouth, you will be exposed.

At the same time, it is precisely because Sun Island's admiration for wisdom and contempt for stupid people is completely greater than its hatred for those without codes.The uncoded people don’t even necessarily live on the third disc...if they have enough wisdom, they can even live or study in the lower two discs.And no matter how chaotic the third disk is, it will not affect the order of the disk below at all, and it is not only the uncoded who will make trouble.

In other words, even a person with an ID code cannot enter the second disk through the elevator.So the difference between them and those without a code is actually not very big.

Sun Island is the empty island that stores the most ancient technology.Those who are uneducated can't even get guns, let alone more high-tech protective clothing.And the doctors of the first disk can even drive drones in groups as they please.

At Sun Island, intelligence is everything.It is force, it is wealth, and it is absolute status.

——The water of wisdom is thicker than blood.

But in the same way, because things like wisdom may not be able to inherit... the children born to the doctors of the first disc will be sent directly to the second disc, and cannot be educated and raised privately.

Because raising children will occupy their energy for advanced research.And their brains are the most precious wealth of Sun Island.

They can also do their best to give their offspring the best education, nutrition, and more expensive auxiliary chips... This is the last preferential treatment.But if even so, they cannot be recognized by the committee, and they still cannot enter the first disc when they graduate, they will not be able to reach the area where their parents are for the rest of their lives, and can only spend the rest of their lives in the second disc.

This is equivalent to drawing a card and not shipping it.If it's not SSR, even SR can't join the team, just go directly to the warehouse and never see you again.

And their regenerated children may further "degrade" and fall into the third disc.

Residents who are not from the same disc, even the blood relationship cannot be maintained - after the parents of the first disc die, the wealth will not be inherited by the offspring of the second disc.Because when they cannot enter the first disc, they are no longer related.In the same way, if the parents of the third disk give birth to a child who can enter the second or even the first disk, they will not be able to actively contact each other.If the other party does not want to come back, they will never see each other again.

Because in the higher disk, even the signal cannot appear in the lower place.

"Because of this, Sun Island's concept of kinship is also quite weak. For the doctors of the first disc, children are more of a kind of 'accident of love' to them. On the contrary, the second disc and the first disc The parents of Sanyuanpan will work hard to educate their children to become talents, and hope that they will come back to feed themselves after they become talents...but most of them will never see each other again."

Bad Sun said softly: "Because the worship of wisdom and contempt for fools are engraved into their bones. Even if the fools are their parents.

"Although they are very close to Tongshen Island, these two empty islands are completely opposite. They are like mirror images.

"The entire Sun Island... is like a cold and ruthless assembly line that was built with human beings only to produce excellent researchers.

"—However, it is also the most important sky island to us among the seven sky islands.

"Because Sun Island's job is to 'research for the world'.

"What they are trying to recover is the lost ancient technology, and what they are trying to heal are those cursed and polluted lands. They even have a permanent topic of 'how to restore the entire ecological circle if they can heal the land'.

"Because of this, although it is cold, ruthless, arrogant, extravagant, sinful... But we still can't touch it. These brains are waiting, sacrificing ordinary feelings, and devoting all their lives to doing the most taboo and most important things. Also the most useless research. Some 'reserve knowledge' that may not be put into practice until they die.

"When we find out the truth of history, we still have to rely on the most intelligent brains among human beings to help us turn illusory knowledge... into real power."

Bad Ri looked at Russell with deep meaning: "When you come back from Tongshen Island, don't rush back. I'll take you to Sun Island.

"After experiencing the impact of Tongshen Island, you must have a deeper feeling for Sun Island.

"—and a deeper understanding of what we're doing, what it means to you, and our existence."

Chapter 9 No, it's really a replica?

During the conversation, the airship had arrived above Sun Island.

But soon Russell realized something was wrong.

——Why is it so close to this level, and the height has not been lowered yet?

The airship floated quietly above Sun Island, as if waiting for something.

"Damn it, it can't really..."

Russell muttered to himself.

But at this moment, Bad Ri suddenly stretched out his finger and made a "shh" gesture to Russell.

From the chair that was tilted back 45 degrees, in an almost impossible posture of exerting force, he leaped out of thin air towards behind him, and landed silently on the ground with a light backflip.

He inserted a chip behind his ear, and the whole person disappeared in a wave of fluctuation.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Ultramarine!"

The girl's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Are you there?"

Russell could hear the voice of a first-class flight attendant.

A cute and shy black rabbit, when she saw her, she even asked for her autograph... But what made Russell displeased was that she was taller than him.

The door of the first-class cabin does not need to be opened with a magnetic card in person.It's like the door of the Special Executive Department, as long as Russell gives permission in the panel exhaled from the field of vision, it can be opened in the air.

He was still sitting peacefully at the dining table... the position was exactly the same as that of "Alice" half a year ago.

This similarity made him feel a little bad foreboding.

"What happened?"

Russell asked seriously.

And the words of the black rabbit stewardess made Russell completely lose his luck——

The girl lowered her voice and whispered anxiously: "An uncoded person from the lower city has sneaked in...he's in the captain's room right now!

"She may have hijacked the captain, and now there is no response from the captain's room... I beg you to take a look!

"This way we can't land! If the fuel is exhausted, the airship may crash!"

...No, is it really a re-enactment of the event?

Russell was in a very complicated mood.

But he didn't hesitate.

Just like what Russell said to Delphinium in the morning... When encountering such a thing, he has no choice.

Today's Qunqing is already a "hero" admired by people, and the head of the executive department of Tianen Group.

When encountering such a crisis, he has no room to retreat——

Because if he chooses to retreat in order to protect himself, he will expose those who are unable to resist behind him.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Russell said seriously: "Please don't worry, I will take care of everything.

"I have to prepare a little... For safety reasons, don't let other people approach the captain's room."

His gentle and powerful voice gave the girl confidence and strength.

Just thinking of the existence of this "hero" on the airship, she felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
