Volume 3: Tengyuan Test Wings Chapter 420: Generation Gap
Zhong Bai took the scanner and scanned the things that had been sealed during the New Year in the Spirit Realm Exploration Base one by one.
They divided themselves into three groups, working in pairs to take over the warehouse.
There's a heavy smell of dust in here, and some things have not been moved for decades. If they hadn't received the order this time, they would not have opened the door of this underground warehouse.
"Why did the higher-ups suddenly think of asking us to scan these things? Didn't they say that we should try not to connect our stuff to the Internet?"
Next to her, the new female colleague Jiang Wan, like a very manly woman, used a crowbar to open a box with a time stamp from thirty years ago, which caused a cloud of dust to come out, and she quickly fanned it away with her hands.
"We have already entered the information age, so how could we not be connected to the Internet? Especially the current Skynet system. You know how useful it is. I guess it is real artificial intelligence, but there is no news about it on the Internet yet."
Zhong Bai, who is now middle-aged, just does his job diligently and conscientiously.
Zhong Bai felt that it was not a good choice for a girl in her twenties to come to the Spirit Realm Exploration Base to manage warehouse data. This place was too desolate and not close to the city, so it was not suitable for a young and active girl.
If you are someone who loves cultivation, then this place is not bad. There are many cultivation facilities. After all, it is a spiritual realm exploration base, and the proportion of combat personnel is very high.
But it is unnecessary for a young man without special powers to come here.
People like him, who have unrealistic supernatural powers but like to practice and improve themselves, and who also like quiet time away from the city, are suitable for data management here.
These days they dug out old warehouses from decades ago and scanned and registered everything, which can be considered a rare group activity in their department .
"The Skynet system is indeed very powerful, but it feels a little difficult to talk to. I asked him if we could have a role-playing conversation, but he refused because it was not a work requirement." Jiang Wan shook his head. "If we can make a mobile phone APP with a similar level of intelligence as the Skynet system, which can be used for chatting and relieving loneliness, I think it will definitely be very popular."
Zhong Bai: ...
What is this young girl thinking about? Are you letting the Skynet system play house with you?
As for making it into a mobile phone APP, Zhong Bai feels that it is unlikely. The Skynet system is currently only used within the system and has not yet been released to the public, let alone being turned into a mobile phone APP for other functions.
"You can make an APP yourself, maybe it will become a hit?" Zhong Bai can also access the Internet here.
Especially after the Skynet system was put into use, the conditions for Internet access were relaxed, probably because the Skynet system could monitor their every move on the Internet.
"I'm a liberal arts student, so let's just forget about this kind of thing." Jiang Wan shook his head and took out something sealed in a glass bottle from the box with his gloved hands.
Looking closely, it was quite beautiful. It was a silver lotus that seemed to be woven with some kind of metal wire. However, it was broken into several pieces. Fortunately, all the fragments were collected and placed in a large glass bottle.
"Zhong Ke, is this something you wear on your head?" Jiang Wan asked, holding the glass bottle in his hand.
"Well, the ancient hair crown is quite exquisitely made."
Zhong Bai flipped through the files next to him and found the detailed records of this item.
"This is the only item brought back from an exploration of a special spiritual realm 31 years ago . It is completely damaged and is confirmed to be harmless."
As long as there is no danger.
"Open the container. It's hard to scan through the glass bottle."
"Hmm... hm? It's a little hard to open."
Maybe it was because the girl's hand strength was really weak, and she hadn't used any physical strengthening potions yet, so Zhong Bai could only take it himself. While twisting it, he said, "You should take some time to get the physical implant tested. Even if it's just a simple physical strengthening, the effect will be immediate."
Originally, his job did not require any superpower implantation, but with technological breakthroughs in recent years, the cost of superpower implantation has been greatly reduced. He was still young at that time, so he went to do a superpower implantation test.
Although he did not have any incredible luck that allowed him to possess the adaptability to rare superpowers, this opportunity meant that he could successfully implant the superpowers and the cost would be reimbursed.
So he chose an ordinary comprehensive physical enhancement.
It's no wonder that he hasn't been sick since then. Even though he doesn't exercise much, he doesn't have much fat on his stomach. He has a little more fat, but that is used to store energy for his supernatural powers.
If nothing else, the couple's life will be more harmonious.
At that time, they had to fight for this spot, it would not just come to you on its own.
Of course, it is much better now. I heard that the cost has been reduced again to a very cheap level. Basically, applications from people within the system will be approved and the fees will be reimbursed free of charge.
But many young people nowadays are unwilling to go, which makes these middle-aged people in their forties confused.
No matter what, I've been studying and taking civil service exams for so many years and I'm already tired enough. I don't want to add a new task to myself of cultivating supernatural powers.
Young people nowadays are outrageous.
Even more, many people don't even want to get married. There are many people who are still unmarried in their twenties. In their era, this is really incomprehensible.
"Why are you also trying to dissuade me from doing this?" Jiang Wan was somewhat helpless. "How many people are willing to do this now? Studying and working are tiring enough, and you also have to train your supernatural powers. You can't spend every second as if it were two seconds."
"This is for your health, so you won't get sick or have any disasters in the future."
"So you can't even take sick leave ? That's really tragic."
Bo
The lid is open.
Zhong Bai didn't understand. Was he still hoping to get sick?
Besides, our job is not tiring at all. We only have the extra work of scanning the warehouse in the past two days. It was very easy before.
"Zhong Ke, your generation wanted superpowers too much, but if you look at things from our generation's perspective, it's completely different."
Zhong Bai used tweezers to take out the contents, placed them on the platform, and then used a scanner gun to carefully scan each component.
"Why is it different?"
"Think about it, it's only been a few years and the superpower technology has developed to this level? Will there be more powerful technologies in the future, for example, the ability to forcibly implant certain superpowers without considering the compatibility rate?" Jiang Wan said with a beaming eyebrow.
"It's possible." Zhong Bai could only say it was possible, but if he had to wait, he didn't know how many years he would have to wait.
"Well, actually, I paid for a test to implant superpowers before, but the result..." She spread her hands, "No one wanted it, so I just wait and see. Maybe in two years, there will be technology to improve the spiritual light value and implant superpowers at will."
Zhong Bai didn't comment, "Then I won't persuade you. After all, it's convenient and cheap to implant superpowers now. If you regret it one day, you can do it anytime."
He watched the 3D image on the screen clearly record the scanned object, and when he was about to put it back, the computer suddenly made a beeping sound.
"Please keep this item in a safe place. Someone will pick it up later."
The Skynet system suddenly spoke, which surprised Zhong Bai.
Recently, they have been asked to scan all warehouses, including those that have been covered in dust for decades. Could it be that they are looking for this?
This really can only be done by them manually. After all, no one even looks through the text archives, let alone the Internet. If they don't look for it this way, they really can't find it.
