Chapter 368 The first residents of Infinite City(3/4)

But what if the cameras become smaller and smaller, more and more hidden, and the number increases dozens or even hundreds of times?

By that time, can a dozen or even dozens of wizards really handle so many emergencies in a short period of time?

There is also a fast information transmission technology called "Internet" that has developed rapidly in recent years, which is also a huge potential threat to wizards.

Compared with the miraculous development speed of the Muggle world after the end of World War II, the insignificant progress and changes in the wizarding world are simply like a pool of stagnant water.

"Fox, do you think I was really wrong?" Dumbledore asked his pet phoenix.

But unfortunately, although Phoenix is ​​smart enough to understand what the master wants to express, when faced with such an overly complicated question, he can only blink his eyes innocently, not knowing how to answer it.

……

At the same time, Zuo Si, who left the principal's office, went to say goodbye to Hermione and then started shopping with a list.

As before, he first randomly selected a few "lucky ones", then directly fired the Imperius Curse to complete the control, and ordered the other party to start purchasing the contents on the list through various channels.

In just a few days, countless steel, precision mechanical parts, advanced laboratory-specific equipment and other messy things were all stuffed into the box of the Traceless Stretch Spell.

After finishing all this, Zuo Sicai took the souls collected by Phoenix God Bennu during this period and returned directly to the Floating City, and met with these people in the virtual space that replicated Waterdeep City.

Since there were already thirty experts from various fields, and some of them knew each other or heard each other's names, their original nervousness was quickly calmed down, and their consciousness was injected into them through the psychic transmission channel.

Inside the clone body prepared in advance.

Immediately afterwards comes the popular stage of snatching people.

Since several relatively independent departments have been established in the floating city, and each department has a lot of urgent research topics, it can be said that manpower is very scarce.

Not to mention these geniuses who already have a certain reputation in the industry, even ordinary researchers are eager to get more.

In fact, due to the extreme shortage of manpower, many tasks have been handed over to constructs and even corpse-embedded creatures with certain intelligence.

Of course, these guys are different from those mass-produced ones. They have been specially modified and strengthened according to needs. They often have two or three heads and seven or eight hands, and one person can stand up to several ordinary researchers.

The only regret is that they can only engage in repetitive tasks that require little brain power, and have no ability to make independent judgments.

Including the heads of the weapons design and R&D team, overall planning and social science team, magic chemistry laboratory, energy and physics laboratory, biological and necromantic technology laboratory, psychic signal enhancement laboratory, materials science laboratory and other departments

, he even put down his research and went into battle himself in order to get more manpower.

Suddenly, the first-floor hall of the central tower of the floating city turned into a recruitment scene.

No matter what department they are in, they are desperately emphasizing their importance, showing the projects they are studying and the heights they can achieve in the future.

It didn't take long for the new group of high-level talents to make their choices one after another and devote themselves to the magic field that they had never touched before with great enthusiasm.

For them who have died once, being able to regain a new life and continue to engage in research that they are interested in, and learn to master the mysterious magical power, is simply a matter of extreme luck, and they are afraid that they will not be able to perform well and will be eliminated.

Drop.

In contrast, other players who know nothing about the truth are not so lucky.

These souls were first put into pre-prepared containers to separate them, and then were inhaled in batches by the mastermind Isadora into another illusory world "Infinite City", and their memories were slightly modified.

Soon, the first batch of new souls woke up from the huge dormant chamber called "Ant Nest".

"This...where is this? Who am I?"

An Asian face in his thirties slowly crawled out of the silver dome full of science fiction and looked around with a blank expression.

There were about three to four hundred people who woke up with him, all wearing white tights, and they slowly gathered towards the only passage at the door.

Although these people include white people from Europe and America, yellow people from East Asia, and Latinos from South America, they can communicate without any barriers and speak very fluently in any language on earth.

When everyone gathered over, the originally closed door slowly opened, and a young girl with short hair walked in from the outside.

You know without asking that she is the virtual image created by the mastermind Isadora.

After first feeling the mental state of these souls and confirming that they were not crazy or stupid, Isadora said with a smile: "I think you must be confused about where this place is and who you are.

, right?"

"That's right! Miss! Please give us a clear explanation." A strong white man more than two meters tall squeezed out from the crowd.

"No problem, that's what I'm going to say next. First of all, please calm down, search your memory, and then tell me if you remember anything?"

Isadora pointed to her temples and used words to guide the thoughts of these newly transformed souls.

About two or three minutes later, the first Asian to wake up exclaimed: "Ah! I remembered! I...I was in a car accident and was run over by a clocked train and then lost consciousness.



"Damn it! I remembered it too! I was hit in the heart by a bullet on the battlefield." The strong white man's face instantly turned pale.

"I have terminal cancer!"

"I'm having a heart attack!"

"I...I have acute leukemia!"

……

As one person after another recalled the last scene before death, they finally found what they had in common with each other.

When Isadora saw this scene, she immediately clapped her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said to herself: "I believe you don't need to explain, you all understand that you have actually died once. But you are lucky, your family members are at the end.

An experimental agreement was signed at the same time, allowing scientific research institutions to freeze corpses and use them for related medical research."

"Wait a minute! If our corpses are donated for medical research, shouldn't they be dissected like those soaked in formalin solution in medical schools?" a young man wearing glasses demanded.

Broken road.

"No, you misunderstood. The agreement you signed is not the kind of ordinary medical research, but the research on consciousness and soul after death. From 1992 to now, three full centuries have passed.

Our company has finally mastered the cutting-edge technology that can resurrect corpses. And you are the first people to be awakened."

When saying these words, Isadora carefully observed everyone's reaction.

Just as she expected, when these guys heard that three hundred years had passed, they were all stunned with expressions of disbelief.

"Three...three hundred years? We have been frozen for three hundred years!"

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old Latin girl opened her mouth wide, her whole body trembling slightly because of her excitement.

Isadora nodded slightly: "Yes. According to the agreement, you are the first batch to be frozen, so you are also the first batch to be awakened."

"But... why can't I remember my name? Not only the name, but also other information has become very blurry?" The strong white man frowned and asked.

"Because of the immature technology in the early days, the freezing equipment was far less safe and reliable than it was later. As a result, your brain may have suffered some unknown minor damage.

However, this situation should not be very serious, and maybe it will recover on its own after a while.

What's more, a full three hundred years have passed now, and your former family and friends are no longer here.

Since you have forgotten your past name, why not give yourself a new name to embrace your future life?"

Isadora was obviously well prepared and gave a convincing reason straightforwardly.

In fact, the selective amnesia of these people is entirely the result of her deliberate erasure.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, to downplay the contradictions and conflicts that may be caused by factors such as race, nationality, religion, etc., so that these souls can quickly forget the past and become the kind of "fourth natural disaster" Zuo Si needs.

There is no doubt that the possibility of long-term freezing causing damage to brain cells is so high that the strong white man immediately chose to accept it. At the same time, he sighed with a wry smile: "Well, as a person who died once, he can die again.

I am already very lucky to be reborn. I really shouldn’t expect too much. Miss, if you don’t mind, can you let us see what the future world will look like?”

"Okay. Please line up and follow me. Remember, don't touch anything you don't understand. Otherwise, our company will not be responsible for accidents and casualties. If important equipment and instruments are damaged,

, you must make compensation."

After saying that, Isadora turned around and walked straight out of the gate.

Hundreds of people hurriedly followed behind, with either curiosity or nervous eyes, ready to see with their own eyes what the world would be like three hundred years from now.

As a result, as soon as they walked out of the "ant nest", they were stunned by what they saw.

At the top of a building thousands of meters high, countless rectangular vehicles were flying along the gaps between buildings at extremely fast speeds, so fast that they even left afterimages in the air.

.

But even so, not a single traffic accident occurred.

They don't even know whether this thing should be called a "car" or an "aircraft".

In addition, those buildings with exaggerated shapes, full of science fiction and dazzling eyes also make these "old antiques" from the past keep exclaiming.

In particular, the beasts projected by the lifelike 3D projection billboard looked just like the real thing, which shocked many people.

Bionic robots and robotic pets are everywhere in the streets and alleys, violently impacting the cognitive limits of everyone present.

"Oh my God! This... this is the world three hundred years from now? Which country is this? Which city?" The first Asian to wake up covered his mouth and suppressed his emotions and asked.

"Now there is no concept of country and city. There is only one legal regime on earth - the coalition government, and there is only one super city, which is the Infinite City under our feet. Finally, please allow me to say to you on behalf of people of this era, welcome

Come to the future!"

As these words blurted out, these souls who had been completely deceived by the illusory world could no longer control their excitement, crying and laughing like madmen.

But soon, a more rational old man raised a question that worried everyone.
