Chapter 7 A World Covered in Metal

Borbaba, 2551, extinct...

Hammerhead, 2517, extinct...

That's right, it's like this...

The spy is somewhere now, looking at the material revealed by the Voidmin.

The place is sunny, with brilliant sunshine and blue sky, vast meadows, little white clouds floating in the fresh air, and lots of happy little friends.

Although it is said that 'sunlight' is actually simulated with lights, clouds and sky are simulated with stereoscopic images, the grass seems to be made of something that can be translated as 'plastic', and the clear air...the distance is not There is a 'clear air release device' in the distance.

This is a place called the Underground Academy, and the spy is in a school room inside.

There are quite a lot of classrooms in this academy, and at the same time there are many imaginary cubs studying, and the spy also made a cub into this place, and part of this cub made 'materials' that he stole from the last time obtained from the imaginary.

Because this academy is recruiting students recently, you can come and visit first, so Lin asked the big spy to be the 'parent' of the young spy and let the young spy come in and visit.

Places such as the academy were originally built on the ground, but later, many virtual people felt that the area was too large, because the cub activities required considerable space, so they turned underground.

Of course, the bad air outside is also a reason for the growth of the cubs. If they are placed indoors, they can control the flow and filtration of the air more easily, which is much easier than on the ground that is often dusted...

Therefore, there are false suggestions. Sunlight and blue sky are simulated underground. Then let the pups live happily in the underground environment. How good is that without taking up ground space at the same time?

This proposal has been recognized by many high-level virtual people, so the colleges originally built on the ground have been turned underground one by one, and many tall buildings have been built in the places where they were originally located.

Because the population is too crowded, is this move done to save space?

However, although the cubs here are underground, they are still very happy, beside the cub spy. There are many cubs playing happily, and it seems that only the spy cub is watching the information here.

The way of education here is exactly the same as on the Drift.

Originally, Xumin used adult Xumin to teach youngsters,

But now they don't need it anymore. They stuff all the data into the stereoscopic video device and let the cubs search and observe by themselves.

Cubs can learn everything in the materials according to their own interests, or they can do nothing and play all day. Basically, it can be said that they have a carefree life here. Once they reach adulthood, the cubs will join the group outside without emotion. Among the virtual people... It can be said that the young stage and the adult stage of the virtual people are two extremes.

The information to be viewed is divided into several levels, after learning the information of the first stage. You will be able to advance to the second level, and you will be considered a 'graduation' if you pass it all. Every time you level up, a visit is made to see what the pup has learned.

The cubs who have been playing will be asked to learn useful things and start the whole process all over again. If they fail to do it three times, they will "graduate early" and will only be able to work as manual laborers or operation handymen in the future.

Lin's cub is in the first stage of the school, and there are many materials that need to be more advanced to view. At the same time, when viewing a certain material, for example, watching the material related to 'construction project', there will be a prompt about construction. Engineering occupations, and the rate of demand for those occupations, and so on.

However, those are only things related to various jobs, and a lot of historical data can be seen in the first stage.

Spy pups search here for news about wildlife, jungle, and more.

A lot of these news came out in an instant, and most of them can be said to be densely packed.

Spies are constantly checking the information of these creatures, they all have detailed classification, body size introduction, as well as various pictures, living places of creatures and so on.

However, most of them have one thing in common. Basically, the last sentence of the introduction of each creature is 'extinction'.

Most of the species that Lin sees now are of the same species as the virtual people. They are generally called 'bone creatures'. They were originally widely distributed in this world. Some of them are like hairy jade on pompoms. Ten meters range, very rich.

Of course, there is only one kind of virtual people left with such abundant creatures, and there are several other creatures they raise.

There are more than 10,000 kinds of other species of 'bone-tight creatures', and Lin has turned over all their information, and they are all written as extinct.

And the exact extinction period is also written, most of which were extinct hundreds of years ago, and the number of extinctions 200 years ago seems to be relatively large.

Part of it is the killing of phantoms, or because of the continuous expansion of buildings, these biomes cannot continue to live. When many phantoms see creatures living in some valuable locations, they will immediately drive away these creatures and build buildings there. ...

The virtual people have tried to protect some creatures before, but those protectors can prevent hunting at most, and there is no way to prevent the increase of the population and the expansion of buildings, etc...

However, it seems that the most common cause of extinction is air pollution...

Almost all the vehicles used by Xumin now use electricity, but before they used a type of energy called 'fuel energy', which emits a lot of polluted air, resulting in large-scale air pollution spoiled.

In addition, there are various factories and other causes, although most of the virtual people have changed the way of using these energy in the past, and switched to using tools that only emit a small amount or no pollution.

But even so, the pollution they released in the past has not disappeared, and even though the discharge is less now, it still exists. In addition, there is no plant responsible for purification, and the pollution has continued to increase, so the virtual people must bring it with them. filter device……

Many creatures went extinct because they couldn't bear the deteriorating air, and not only them, but before the invention of the filter device, tens of millions of them died because of long-term pollution of their lungs, which once caused a great deal of damage. sensation.

Later, the virtual people survived, but there are no creatures to accompany them...

Some of the wild species have become extinct, and the reared ones have gradually become extinct, which is basically the cause of air pollution.

There are more than 10,000 kinds of extinction, only 'bone creatures'.

If you look at other species, there will be more, plus plants, and various creatures, Lin found that there are arthropods here, and most of them are written as extinct.

If all added up, there are millions of species, and the information is dense enough to be as dense as a swarm, but each one has the word extinction written at the end.

This also includes species in the sea.

Xumin has many industries related to capturing marine life, but there are also many industries that discharge waste into the sea, causing the ocean water to deteriorate.

After the extinction of most of the sea creatures, the imaginary people who had nothing to catch turned to a large number of algae for food in order to continue to eat, not only the last time I saw it, it seems that all the coasts of the world are covered with Plants that grow algae.

Only the one and only type of algae, which the virtual people call 'crazy algae', splits fast enough that they can feed the virtual people here...

Most of the causes of plant extinction have nothing to do with the air.

It seems that most plants can withstand heavy pollution, but because Xumin originally had a considerable demand for wood, Xumin originally used wood for construction and various supplies.

As a result, a lot of plants are consumed, and the ground plants that are not used are also flattened by metal buildings.

After losing the plants, Xu Mincai used a lot of metal objects, and at the same time began to create many oxygen synthesis factories, which were established in the city center.

At the same time, things like air filters, air purifiers, etc. are also produced in these factories. Now basically every virtual home and various buildings are equipped with air purifiers. There are many models of this kind of thing. Prices also vary. Usually, purifiers are more expensive. It seems that these things were originally just to filter the air, and later added various functions, such as adding other kinds of fragrances... Of course, the price is also more expensive.

All of this requires virtual currency. It can be said that a virtual citizen without virtual currency cannot even breathe.

Despite these filters, phantoms often inhale a small amount of polluted air, and their physiques are getting worse and worse. Lin has tested the physique of some phantoms on the streets. Lin believes that if they fight with bare hands, a healthy phantom will at least Five Contaminated Voidlings can be dealt with.

In fact, it is so...

At first, when these creatures went extinct, there were also many phantoms who had opinions. They protested and set up a 'biological protection association'. A generation of phantoms didn't even know the word 'jungle' existed.

So when they go to the pom-pom, they don't have any special feeling looking at the environment on the pom-pom.

After Lin came here, she could only see abundant species in this three-dimensional video installation.

Watching countless extinct creatures, Lin felt a special emotion.

This emotion is... sadness, Lin used to call it sympathy.

However, it's almost... I haven't felt it for a long time...

Because after something happened on the pom-pom, it had been a long, long time since no creatures went extinct, and Lin thought that she would never feel this way again.

It seems that it's just not on the pom poms.

However, nothing can be done now.

The once rich world now has only metal, and a creature that can make metal. (To be continued..)
