Chapter 45 Climbing the stairs

A master of internal skills possessing Saussure's divine domain and an ordinary basic human being whose brain has not undergone secondary transformation are completely different concepts.

For those who are successful in Saussure's domain, the "mathematics" and "programming language" in their eyes are completely different from the "mathematics" and "programming language" in the eyes of natural people. Because Saussure's domain is not only a "language center",

At the same time, it also integrates a large number of nervous systems responsible for logical thinking functions.

Just like the human temporal lobe, it can easily identify, summarize, and process hundreds of feature "axes" of human faces, and store, analyze, and reconstruct countless human faces in a high-dimensional feature space.

But this does not require a human to deliberately calculate Hilbert space geometry problems of several hundred dimensions.

For accomplished masters in Saussure's realm, certain advanced mathematics and programming are like "1 1" and can be completed subconsciously.

And it also includes a change - for internal skill masters, "QR code" or even "bar code" is something that can be read.

In Xiangshan's eyes, the symbol carved by Cui Shi was like an unfamiliar Chinese character composed of hundreds of random strokes - it was definitely a character, but it had no meaning in the public sphere.

Even if you scan and parse it, you will not get the result. Because it is a meaningless QR code.

And people who know it can naturally understand it.

It's like there is one correct and meaningful Chinese character mixed in among dozens of obviously meaningless self-made Chinese characters. To those who know it, it is so conspicuous.

Yuki was a little worried: "Don't that woman Deborah know about it too?"

Cui Shi shook his head: "She only knows part of it, not all of it. This is the kind of thing she doesn't recognize."

While talking, several people had already entered the building.

Although the "Songying Building" is the core building of Songying City, where the official residence of the city lord is located, there is not a decent door on the first floor, but a door the size of a unit building. Dozens of doors are evenly arranged on the first floor of the building.

The entrance is directly connected to the stairs.

The vast majority of residential buildings are adjacent to exterior walls. Only this part of the residential area has lighting and ventilation. Apart from anything else, just being able to place solar panels is enough for residents to compete for positions.

The area close to the inside is a closed house.

When Mr. Zhao opened these floors, he did not make partitions. The partitions inside were all added by residents later. As long as the original structure of the building is not damaged, there are no restrictions on what residents can do inside.

The air was moist and heavy, with a vague stench. As soon as the little guy entered the building, his little face wrinkled up and his mouth tightened, as if he was about to cry.

Several people climbed up the stairs. There was surveillance in the stairwell. Since they did not want to reveal their martial arts for the time being, they did not use their physical skills to rush up. There were many people living in the stairwell. Some people forcibly built a small room in the compartment.

There are some people in the sheds who don't even have beds, so they just sit on the steps.

Xiangshan's prosthetic leg also had a relatively sensitive touch. He felt that the ground was inexplicably slippery.

Soon, several people arrived above the tenth floor.

At this time, Cui Cui said in the team channel: [Junior Brother Youji, I forgot to remind you just now. You have to remember, if you don’t have the permission of your senior, don’t just stare outside, do you understand? 】

Yuki instinctively wanted to look out of the stairwell window, but quickly looked away and asked in the channel: [Why?]

[There is something wrong with the map.] Xiang Shan responded: [The locations of the five buildings, as well as the city’s main roads, and the anti-aircraft electromagnetic gun array on the ground, if added together, will look like a few QR codes. You just need to see clearly

One or several of them may be activated with some kind of backdoor, and then be closely watched.】

Cui Cui arrived: [Senior, everything is as expected.]

All prosthetics in this world have backdoors.

Xiangshan said again: [This method has no meaning at all for people who have achieved internal strength. I'm afraid it's against self-taught young people? Or is it a resistance force that has been secretly gathered without knowing the secrets? As long as

If you stand at a high place and observe the terrain, or inspect the map, a backdoor will be activated, and then resources will be allocated to focus on monitoring?]

[If the shadows of the five buildings are also taken into account... I am afraid that this method corresponds to more than one backdoor. And based on the activated backdoor, those government eagle dogs can also determine when someone observed the terrain and roughly from which perspective?



Youki was shocked: [How many people are needed...]

[Human? Stop being funny.] Xiang Shandao: [This process can be solved by weak artificial intelligence. Most of the processes are automatic. The strong have such resources. 】

Youki was stunned: [But won’t there be a lot of accidental injuries? If someone accidentally looks outside...]

Xiang Shan said nothing.

Because the strong have such resources. Even if a hundred are checked by mistake, just catching one target is enough.

A person who organizes a resistance force without looking at a map will not pose any threat - they may not understand the principle of "aiming the tip of the knife at the target".

But people who look at maps will most likely be caught.

Cui Cui patted Youji on the shoulder: [Junior Brother Youji, look at the ground around you. 】

Yuki looked down. This is the thirteenth floor. The space is much more spacious than the tenth floor just now. It is not as crowded as before.

This is because living here requires a lot of time and energy going up and downstairs every day.

Most of the people living here are poor, and they may not be able to bear this kind of thing.

Yuki saw that those people were sitting on the steps with expressionless faces [Of course, this part only applies to "preserving cheeks"], and some were leaning on the wall [mainly people whose muscles near the spine have not been replaced with prosthetics]

, immersed in his own world.

[Because this place is close to the base of the gene bank defense force, there is a public network. It is convenient for monitoring, and they can also use some functions. Although they look haggard sitting here, their spirits may be communicating with people on other planets.

,Entertain yourself.]

Some people looked up slightly when Xiangshan and his group passed by, but soon lowered their heads again indifferently.

[Most people actually don’t care much about what’s outside the window.] Cui Kui said this; [The data may not be as big as you think.]

A few people continued to walk up, and soon arrived at around the 30th floor.

Not many people would sit in the stairwell here anymore. After all, people with a lower degree of prostheticization would not be able to spend so much energy climbing such a high building, while people with a higher degree of prostheticization would not be able to climb such a high building.

Houses don't have that much of a thirst.

Instead, there was garbage and feces appearing in the stairwell.

In the stairwell, Yuki curiously looked towards the living areas of the residents on the first floor. The residents on these floors did not seem to use stones, soil, metal and other materials to build partitions like the residents below the 20th floor -

The higher the floor, the higher the cost of transporting building materials. They seem to be using metal wire, plastic sheets and the like.

At a higher place, the partitions turned into plastic curtains hung with metal wires. When Yuki looked inside the door, he found a pair of eyes in the residential area staring at the stairwell. Yuki was startled.

Withdraw your gaze.

Further back, there are residents lying on the ground in a mess.

Originally, some people lived here just to have a place to store their personal property. For most people, this is not an easy thing.

If you want to live here, you have to face the problem of "living inconvenience". Just going up and downstairs every day consumes a lot of energy, so how can you work well?

The people who live here are basically desperate people with low reform rates. They either offended someone or encountered something, so they can only live here.

Xiangshan could understand something from Lao Chui's memory. These people would only go out every few days. Once they went out, they would work for a few days, and then come back with a lot of supplies on their backs. They would walk in the stairwell for at least a day, and then look for it again.

I hang out on one floor for seven or eight days, then go out again, and the cycle repeats.

They are the most marginalized people in this city.

When we arrived at this area, garbage and feces were almost everywhere in the stairwell.

But after passing this area, the road becomes much easier.

At least the smell faded away immediately.

The organic matter residue on the ground accumulated in the corners of the wall, even forming the appearance of soil. Xiangshan did see the fungi on it.

Yuki was still immersed in the matter of "looking at the map" when he suddenly bumped into his master's back.

【Master, how...】

At this time, Cui Kui suddenly stood in front of him and said: "This, you'd better be mentally prepared before you see it..."

Yuki poked his head out curiously and found a group of things in front of him...

How do you say it? A ball of organic soil that "roughly resembles the outline of a human body."

The fungus had grown and died several times, and moss—no, some kind of black and green mixed lichen, like a camouflage, covered the area.

The sun fell from the window in the stairwell and shone on the soil. A slender plant grew on it and even produced seeds. Yuki had never seen such a thing before. He really didn't know that a plant could actually produce seeds.

This pure white... fluffy dumpling?

Huang Youguang said: "There must have been a person here..."

No one knows why this man with a very low transformation rate came to this place and died here.

Are you being hunted? Or do you have to hide for some reason?

Or maybe his body was irreversibly damaged, so he came to such a place to wait for death?

Of course, all this is no longer important.

Xiang Shan clasped his hands together vigorously. The wind in his palms blew the seeds from the plant.

Dandelion seeds dance in the sun.

Xiangshan said: "Yuki... I knew it. Sure enough, it is impossible for metal-based species to defeat the earth's native species in all areas of the biosphere. You see, there are indeed green plants in the world."
