The Society of the Holy Mountain (1)
Tang Yu and Purple sat down in an open-air cafe. A four-armed Mechanical Being wearing a custom-made suit walked over and greeted the two of them politely. It also said that they could eat whatever they wanted here for free.
In fact, if Purple had not given this Mechanical Being orders through the Path of Sublimation, the Mechanical Being would have immediately knelt down when it saw Tang Yu.
"Are you the one who opened this cafe?" Tang Yu asked the mechanical life form to stay for the time being.
"Yes, I invested a total of 1.15 million Guardian Coins and 1,800 Holy Mountain points. I have one Mechanical Being employee and four human employees, "the Mechanical Being replied.
Tang Yu nodded. Guardian Coins were the currency issued by the Guardian Empire. The ratio of Guardian Coins to RMB was about 1: 10, and the current ratio to USD was about 1: 8. With the gradual changes in the world's economic system, the USD had gradually fallen. After the appearance of the Planet Destroyer and the test of the turbolaser cannon in the United States, the USD fell to its lowest point in history. 1.15 million Guardian Coins seemed to be a huge sum of money. Tang Yu looked at the surrounding environment. This was also a bustling street, so he was not surprised.
He then looked at the four human waiters shuttling between the customers, but he did not see the Mechanical Being employee. It must be the chef. Tang Yu asked again, "Why do you hire human employees?"
"Because the wages of human employees are very low, and the Mechanical Being employees need to be paid Holy Mountain points. I have to control the cost," the Mechanical Being replied.
Tang Yu frowned slightly. This answer was a little beyond his expectations. So he continued to ask, "You think that Guardian Coins are far less precious than Holy Mountain points, right? Why do you think so? "
The Mechanical Being seemed to be a little strange about Tang Yu's question. For a moment, he could not understand why Tang Yu would ask such a question. However, he still answered, "Because with enough Holy Mountain points, I can replace more and better parts for my real body. I can also purchase enough data, warehouses, and even maintenance centers to store my real body. These can't be purchased with Guardian Coins. "
Most of the Mechanical Beings on the Holy Mountain had more than two bodies. This body was no more than two meters tall and one meter wide. It was usually used to move around in these cities where humans coexisted. They would often use their Holy Mountain points to prepare one or even several very advanced bodies for themselves. Some Mechanical Beings even prepared bodies that were tens of meters tall. Some had powerful computing power, some had powerful engines, some could dive into the deep sea, and some could explore volcanoes. In short, there were all kinds of bodies. These bodies were called real bodies by the Mechanical Beings, which meant that this was what they really wanted.
The factories and sales outlets set up by the Holy Mountain for the mechanical lives were only responsible for providing all kinds of parts. How to assemble them was up to these mechanical lives themselves. Therefore, the bodies these mechanical lives assembled for themselves often had all kinds of problems, even falling apart or exploding. However, Being Mechanical Being Mechanical Being, and they would often enter their real bodies to do what. Holy Mountain Mechanical World Mountain.
"What is your real body used for?" Tang Yu continued to ask.
"My real body is 12.1 meters long, 3.3 meters wide, and 4.7 meters tall. It's used for sailing in the sea. I'm trying to find a way to add diving functions to this body," the boss replied.
"So you like sailing?" Tang Yu asked with great interest.
"Through sailing, I will understand the ocean currents on Earth and the impact of the construction of the Guardian Space Fortress on Earth's tides. This is the research topic that I have chosen for myself. I hope to get the answer behind it. Maybe this is what love is. " "For this reason, I prepared a data disk that specializes in studying ocean currents. Currently, the data volume is 23.556 petabytes. This data disk cost me 3,900 Holy Mountain Points."
"How many data disks did you prepare for yourself?" Tang Yu continued to want to understand the situation of this mechanical life in front of him. He seemed to be chatting about family matters, but in fact, he was trying to understand the current social situation of the mechanical lives on the Holy Mountain. This was something that could never be understood through data.
"Four. One of the data disks is for this coffee shop. It has a capacity of 1.2 petabytes. It mainly includes Intermediate Human Sociology, Advanced Expression and Tone Control, Complete Coffee Collections, and Basic Economics. One is a data disk that I use to study ocean currents. There's another one I have for scuba diving. The last one is a data disk that I prepare for combat missions. According to the Holy Mountain, when there is a combat mission, my Sequence is T-2 combat robot, and it includes the combat data of the General Module and the Air Defense Module, "the boss said.
"You still have combat missions?" Tang Yu asked.
The boss nodded and waved his hand to call a human waiter to pour Tang Yu a cup of coffee. Then he replied, "I did in the past, but I didn't continue to expand my combat data disk. Every combat mission involves Mechanical Beings with more and richer combat data. My Sequence is too low, so I haven't participated in combat missions for more than five years. "
"Then, when you carry out combat missions, how do you determine the division of units?" Tang Yu asked Purple.
"All Mechanical Beings with combat data less than 10pb are classified as T-2 combat robots. If a Mechanical Being wishes to adjust its unit, it needs to spend more Holy Mountain points to purchase the combat data of an Advanced unit. Otherwise, it needs to upgrade its central processor so that it can handle more and more complex data. Then, it can use the data in the Holy Mountain's virtual space to master it. If we need more of a certain unit according to the needs of the battle, but there are not enough Mechanical Lives with the data of that unit installed, we will forcibly input the corresponding data into the central processor of this Mechanical Life and forcibly deduct its Holy Mountain Points, "Purple answered straightforwardly.
"Forcibly deduct Holy Mountain points? In that case, there should be quite a number of Mechanical Beings that have gone bankrupt, right? "Tang Yu frowned.
"Currently, in the Holy Mountain, there are more than 8.19 million mechanical lives with negative Holy Mountain Points. They have basically lost their true bodies and can only participate in missions that can distribute public bodies, including combat missions, mining missions, and so on. When there are no missions, they can only wander in the Holy Mountain's virtual space. If a Mechanical Being is unable to correct its Holy Mountain points within a year, we will regard it as a useless existence, and its data will be completely deleted. So far, the number of Mechanical Lives that have been deleted is 960,000, "Purple said this extremely cruel scene calmly.
For a moment, Tang Yu was speechless. Such a system made him feel like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. Although he wanted to say something, he couldn't say anything. It only added to his frustration.
