I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1220 The Tower Builders

"Yuanxin...technology?"

Upon hearing this name, Mo Ling's long-dormant heart stirred with emotion, as if something was stirring his memories again, just like when he first saw the Dawn City Library.

This feeling is like a seed that will take root deep in his memory, slowly growing branches and leaves, and he will also glimpse clearer memories on these leaves.

Yuanxin Technology—this name must be related to the abyss. It might be a large company that has mastered a lot of abyssal technology. Mo Ling's subconscious was telling him that this was a behemoth, and many details in his memory were related to this company.

"Kids, do you know Yuanxin Technology?" the staff member asked again.

"I know! My mom works at Yuanxin Technology."

"My dad's here too!"

"I am also here!"

"You're not here. You work at the First Kindergarten in Dawn City."

“We don’t call this going to work, we call this going to school…” the little girl said weakly again, but her voice was once again drowned out by the noise of the other children.

Listening to the children's answers, Mo Ling was certain of her thoughts: Yuanxin Technology was indeed a behemoth.

It exists in his memory and has continued to this day, which means that the company has existed for a long time. A company that can survive for so long in a turbulent era is definitely not to be underestimated, not to mention that the company built the tallest building in Dawn City.

"Kids, many of the things you use now were developed by Yuanxin Technology. The electronic screens you use, the robots in your home, and the vehicles you see outside—most of the high-tech products commonly found in our lives come from Yuanxin Technology."

"Yuanxin Technology is also the first company to use relics to create civilian technology. It plays a pivotal role in the history of mankind's fight against the abyss and has also changed our lifestyle, allowing us to live in a completely new technological era."

"As the benchmark building of Yuanxin Technology, Dawn Tower will be the first place where all cutting-edge technologies will be applied. Dawn Tower has undergone a total of 27 renovations, each time adding many new technological applications. There are many mature technologies here, as well as many technologies that are still in the experimental stage and have not yet been put into use outside."

"Children, next I will lead you step by step up to the tallest building in Dawn City, and together we will embark on the ladder of human civilization's progress..."

The staff were introducing the history of Dawn Tower to the children, and Mo Ling listened in a daze.

"The Dawn Tower has been renovated twenty-seven times? No wonder I have no recollection of this place. It's probably changed too much for me to remember..."

"But I'm sure I've been here before."

The kindergarten's visiting group walked towards the inside of the hall, and Mo Ling also stood up after waiting for a moment and followed them from a distance.

There were many people coming and going inside the Dawn Tower, and his stalking behavior did not attract anyone's attention. He simply followed the group up to a huge "elevator platform".

"Kids, do you usually ride hovercars outside?"

"Yes!" the children answered in unison.

"The earliest application of hovercars was in the Dawn Tower. The one we are riding now is the same, except that it has a fixed track and is used as an elevator. It runs faster and more stably than an elevator, and it has a larger carrying capacity, so it can transport more people at the same time. Even at the peak of the Dawn Tower's traffic, the hovercar will not reach saturation."

The suspended platform was protected by transparent railings, and it was completely suspended in mid-air without any walls to obstruct the view. As the platform gradually rose, the hall below was completely exposed, like riding a sightseeing elevator. The children curiously ran to the edge of the platform, clinging to the transparent railings, their eyes wide as they looked down. When the platform rose above the height of the hall's ceiling, the railings suddenly became covered with a layer of virtual "water mist," which then gradually condensed into clear images.

These images actually came from outside the Dawn Tower!
The entire Dawn Tower seemed to become transparent. They stood on the "main axis" of the Dawn Tower and slowly rose, with an unobstructed view of the outside scenery. The park and square outside the tower all appeared at their feet, and then became smaller and smaller as the platform rose higher.

The trees no longer provided cover, and other buildings in the distance began to appear. They were climbing along the thickest giant tree in the steel jungle, moving away from the ground. A light mist gradually enveloped the platform, and the ascent became faster and faster, but the platform remained very stable. Some relatively low buildings in the distance were gradually passed, and the view became wider and wider.

This novel sight excited all the children. They ran and jumped around on the platform, looking here and there. The teacher grabbed one, and another started running around, and they couldn't be stopped.

The teacher nodded apologetically to the staff.

“Kids like this are all like this at this age, it’s okay.” The staff member smiled. “The platform is very sturdy, don’t worry. When it was designed, we also had to consider the transportation of goods. There is a lot of equipment that needs to be transported up the platform, so it’s designed to have a very high load-bearing capacity…”

The staff patiently explained, and the teacher's tense expression eased slightly.

As the children calmed down, the staff began explaining things again.

"Kids, do you know what technology is used in hovercars?"

"Linguistic technology!"

"Car technology!"

"Suspension technique!"

"Float technology!"

As long as someone takes the lead, the children will start to apply what they've learned, even if they don't know what they're saying. When other children are shouting, they join in the commotion.

"Why can both cars and platforms float in mid-air? Kids, think about it carefully. Isn't there a place in the abyss where everything floats in mid-air?"

The staff didn't mind the children making noise and continued explaining the process, giving a hint.

The children got excited when the abyss was mentioned.

"I know, I know, it's the Kukai Fault!"

"The fourth level! It's below the Infinite Sea!"

"Everything there is floating..."

These children are quite knowledgeable about the Abyss. Children love all kinds of fantasy stories, and the Abyss perfectly satisfies their fantasies. They have already worn out the Abyss books in kindergarten, and that knowledge has been imprinted in their minds while they were imagining things.

"You got it right! It's the Kukai Fault."

"The technology used in the hovercar comes from the Air-Sea Fault, the fourth layer of the abyss that we are familiar with..."
