What It’s Like Being a Vampire

According to Xiang Kun's current model of establishing super-sensory connections, the various auxiliary models that Alice helped him build, and the various "super-connected things" delivery methods he has mastered, it is necessary to deploy his own "super-connected objects" in the mountains, forests and wilderness. "Linked Things Home" still needs to launch the existing "Super Linked Things".

Because various elements in the mountains, whether underground or above ground, have strong single characteristics. Even the same kind of trees, different leaves on the same tree, soil and gravel under the same land, all have subtle characteristics. difference.

It is very difficult to establish a supersensory connection with these "natural creations". Now even if the connection is successfully established, there is no way to establish supersensory connection with the same type of items on a large scale and in batches through Alice's assistance - because it is impossible to determine the supersensory connection. Items of the same type.

Xiang Kun estimates that unless he can establish "supersensory connections" at the microscopic particle level, it will still be difficult to conduct "batch connections" in the wild and in nature.

There is no way to directly "source materials locally", so we can only deliver "hyper-connected things" through the Ant Army.

In fact, the second-, third-, and even fourth- and fifth-level ant colonies originating from the ancestor ant queen "Zero Zero Two" also have very weak "super-connected" properties in a sense. Although they are not of much use at present except for doing some porters' work, there may be some way in the future so that they can truly replace the existence of "hyperconnected things".

Compared with mountains and forests, in the wild, within the scope of human settlements, Xiang Kun has more ways to establish a "super-connected home field". Various industrial products are combined with standardized components.

Complex wholes can often be disassembled into pure single parts.

Just like an engine containing high technology, if you take it apart, you will find various connecting rods, chains, bearings, steel balls, gaskets, etc., with a high degree of standardization. The same parts of the same model, microscopic differences between individuals The composition should also be more similar.

Since Xiang Kun can now directly establish a supersensory connection through cognitive information in the "supersensory state", it does not matter whether the target object has been dismantled or whether it is a separate individual.

As soon as he got into the car and prepared to start the GL8, Xiang Kun tried to enter a "super-sensory state" and established a super-sensory connection with one of the metal connecting rods.

If it were in the past, if he wanted to establish a supersensory connection with an object, he had to have enough contact with it, observe and understand it a lot, or at least direct touch.

Just like the pickup truck he and Lao Xia just bought, in order to establish contact with some of the parts, he had to send it to the repair shop to clean it up, get familiar with it, understand it, and establish a relationship when disassembling and replacing it. connect.

but now,

In the "supersensory state", he can do this directly by sensing cognitive information.

Alice can also prepare detailed data and physical information of the target through the network in advance, inform Xiang Kun, and assist him in distinguishing the cognitive information boundaries and distinctions between the target and other things around him in the "super-sensory state".

It only took Xiang Kun less than five minutes to successfully establish a "super-sensory connection" with the connecting rod. If necessary in the future, he can put part of the "super-connected object" and an "emotional object" into At the SAIC-GM factory in Jinqiao, Pudong, where this car is produced, "super-sensory connections" will be established for all connecting rods of the same model and specification within the affected area.

When they are installed and assembled into each vehicle and sold all over the country, Xiang Kun's "hyper-connected things" will also reach all parts of the country.

If he establishes "super-sensory connections" with a few more parts, then by then, each car will have multiple "super-connected objects", which is equivalent to each GL8 having a "super-connected object matrix". A small "mobile Chongyun Village".

GL8 can do this, and so can other cars and other car manufacturers. Toyota, Volkswagen, Geely, and Wuling can all handle it.

Then there are TV factories, air conditioner factories, refrigerator factories, mobile phone assembly factories, or related parts manufacturing factories, etc.

Of course, that is just an idea for the time being, and doing so will also take a lot of time. He has other ideas for the time being.

Xiang Kun did not continue to associate with the car's parts, but drove to Tongshi Town.

It was already past midnight, and there were not many vehicles and pedestrians in the town. After entering the town, he found a place to park and started walking.

Xiang Kun constantly observed various things on both sides of the road, searching for various "artificial elements" and looking for targets with which he could make "supersensory connections."

Unknowingly, he walked outside a bank, thought for a while, and slowly walked around to the back. After walking into the dark, dozens of tungsten steel balls "crawled" out of the pockets of his overalls. The gaps penetrated into the bank, like a group of well-trained soldiers - at this distance, with Alice's auxiliary control, Xiang Kun could make them move flexibly without entering the "super-sensory state".

The tungsten steel ball does not need to enter the vault, as long as it keeps a certain distance. Then Xiang Kun leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, entered the "super-sensory state", locked a one-yuan coin in the vault through cognitive information, and After quickly establishing a connection, Alice then used the model to establish a connection with all the one-yuan coins in the entire vault.

The whole process from releasing the tungsten steel ball to retrieving the tungsten steel ball only took six minutes and forty-six seconds, and he had already established a connection with all the one-yuan coins in the vault.

It's just that this bank has surprisingly few one-yuan coins.

Xiang Kun continued walking on the street and continued to think about establishing new supersensory connections.

The goals he chose were, first, to have a standardized structure, and second, to be difficult to destroy.

Although napkins, paper boxes, mineral water bottles, disposable chopsticks, cans, etc. can also establish connections, they are easily damaged or recycled, and their physical properties are destroyed, which greatly reduces or even disappears the "supersensory connection", so it is not The ideal element for establishing extrasensory connections at scale.

As for coins, you don’t have to worry about these two points. Coins themselves are relatively difficult to damage, and few people will damage coins. After all, it is illegal to deliberately damage RMB.

Through banks or other occasions where coins are required, he can also quickly conduct large-scale connections. Then these coins will be circulated and the "hyper-connected things" will be placed everywhere.

But there is a problem, that is, the coins are constantly moving. Unless he uses the "hyper-connected object" of coins he owns to throw them, it will be difficult for them to be fixed somewhere according to his established ideas - unless he can in the future Link all coins.

This is also not conducive to his plan to establish a regional "super-connected home stadium".

Therefore, in order to include the entire Copperstone Town into his "super-connected things home field", he needs some objects that cannot be easily moved, destroyed or replaced as the base point of the "super-connected things".

Soon, he had a goal.

Street lights and trash cans on the road, water pipes and cables under the ground, many of them have elements that can be related.

With Alice's assistance, he can now even perform "modular" correlation, and can "divide" some units for correlation in a piece that physically looks like a whole.

For example, Xiang Kun can already associate steel plates with a certain type. Xiang Kun only associates 2X2cm square units. Alice can help him find steel plates of the same type, material, and thickness on various objects through the separation of supersensory information. , lock the same 2x2cm size area to confirm the associated units.

Xiang Kun can use this method to associate network cables, wires, water pipes and other objects. A ten-meter-long line or pipe can be associated with dozens or hundreds of "hyper-connected things" under Alice's segmentation.

However, although these things are fixed in various locations in the city and cannot be easily replaced, if Xiang Kun wants to associate with them now, he still has to travel throughout the city and constantly enter the "super-sensory state", which is still not efficient enough.

So he asked Alice to check various official urban construction projects in Tongshi Town during this period, including the construction plans of several major telecom operators in Tongshi Town, the time for replacement of equipment, lines, etc., and then to find the contractors of these projects. Then go to their suppliers, the places of production and storage of related products and goods.

At that time, Xiang Kun only needs to put some "super-connected objects" and "emotion-intensive objects" into these factories and warehouses, and he can continue to establish "super-sensory connections" with the selected items, and the other party will put these things themselves into The entire city, throughout Tongshi Town and even the surrounding areas.

Tongshi Town is developing at a rapid pace now, and the officials are also carrying out a lot of infrastructure construction and renovation of various old facilities. There are many related plans and plans, which is convenient for Xiang Kun.

Using this method, Xiang Kun plans to slowly radiate to the surrounding areas with Chongyun Village and Tongshi Town as the center, and first establish a stable "super-connected home field" range.

At least within this range, Alice can exert her full power, and Lao Xia can also use a few physical attacks such as the "Crispy Pig Hand Throwing Technique".

Of course, normally speaking, in the "Super Connected Home", with Alice here, it is unlikely that a "mutated bird" would sneak attack on Jin Shining again - she can always detect the enemy in advance.

Walking on the streets of Tongshi Town late at night, Xiang Kun felt quite comfortable and relaxed.

In the past, when he went out late at night and walked in the city, he always had to consider avoiding surveillance, especially when doing something that seemed "sneaky".

But now, with Alice's presence, he can walk freely on the road. Even if he behaves strangely and hides in the alley behind the bank, there is no need to hide from the camera. Alice will naturally take care of it and ensure that no one can see it. Question comes.

Unconsciously, he has become more and more dependent on the assistance and services provided by Alice.

This is what is called "technology changes life"!

Xiang Kun thought so, and even had the urge to show up and pat Alice on the head to praise her.

At this moment, Alice's voice came through the mobile phone: "Boss, there's a situation! In Shouwang Building, the gringo is fighting with other 'mutated creatures' again!"

Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment. Of course he knew that the "gringo" Alice mentioned was the "European vampire" John under the Shouwang Building.

John fights other "mutated creatures" again? Did Mr. Liang ask him to devour other "mutated creatures" again? How long had it been since the last time he devoured a mutated snake, so often? Is this Mr. Liang’s research topic, or is he deliberately “training” John?

Xiang Kun quickly found a remote corner and walked in, then entered the "super-sensory state" to spy on the situation under the Shouwang Building.

Using the cognitive information in the "super-sensory state" to observe the demise of a "mutated creature" and the process of another "mutated creature" devouring its blood will definitely be of great help to him in understanding the nature of mutation.

…

Tuesday, June 16th.

A month and a half had passed since Jin Shining was attacked by the "mutated big bird".

Jin Shining was already alive, flying, and eating. Even after recovering, because Little Apple prepared more bird food and fed him more during the recovery period, he gained a little weight.

Little Pingguo still lives in Chongyun Village, but the little fat girl was picked up by her mother in mid-May and went to Pengcheng City to enter a new kindergarten and start a new life.

With the help of the lawyer Zhang Qian found, Shiling's father was released directly on the grounds of self-defense and was not prosecuted.

However, after Shiling's father regained his freedom, Shiling's mother, who had been running around all the time, chose to break up with him, ending the relationship completely.

Shiling's father had no objection to this, since they were not married in the first place.

But what Shiling's mother didn't expect was that not long after, she heard the news that Shiling's father actually returned to the wife who had held the wedding before and got back together.

In this regard, Shiling's mother naturally had nothing to say except a wry smile.

When talking about this matter with Zhang Qian, she also laughed at herself. She had always used various reasons to convince herself that she was not a "mistress". For example, she met Shiling's father first, and Shiling's father and the other party did not have a marriage certificate. , but in fact, even her own relatives, her own sisters and brothers, in their hearts consider her a "mistress".

She has been deceiving herself for so many years.

In fact, she should have made up her mind long ago to leave Shiling's father.

But this relationship was not all regret and failure in the end. At least she still had a lovely and sensible daughter like Liu Shiling.

Under Xiang Kun's arrangement, Shiling's mother did some less complicated administrative work in Zhang Qian's company. Zhang Qian also helped arrange and arrange her residence, including the kindergarten where the little fat girl went to, which is also a comparison here. OK

Shiling's mother knew all this because of the help of Mr. Xiang, Miss Tang, and Miss Xia. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a company like "Tengjiao Interactive Entertainment" to hire her without a diploma, without a job for many years, and with a lot of needs. A single mother who spends time raising her daughter.

But considering that there is no possibility of recovering the money from selling the house for the time being, and the economy is under great pressure, for the sake of Liu Shiling's study and life, she can only shamelessly accept the kindness of Xiang Kun and others, and try her best to do her job in the company , learn relevant skills as quickly as possible.

At this time, in Yangcheng City, not far from Pengcheng, a kind-looking old foreign man with blond hair was sitting in the back seat of a Mercedes-Benz S500, and next to him was a man in his forties or fifties, wearing a suit. Wearing a suit, the lady with the air of a superior chatted in Chinese.

"Professor Nass, you speak Chinese so well. It's hard to imagine that you learned Chinese by yourself." The middle-aged lady praised with a smile.

The blond old man known as Professor Nass adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile: "I like the culture of many countries and regions. I think it is necessary to understand the customs and culture of a country, understand their people, and learn from it." Their language is the most basic. Not only Chinese, but I am also familiar with French and Spanish."

As he spoke, he naturally showed off a few words of fluent French and Spanish.

The lady also knew a little bit of Spanish. She nodded repeatedly and praised again: "Professor Nass, your language talent is really enviable."
