I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 849: Hole in the Bubble
"This uncle is really very powerful..."

Looking at the messages that kept coming from the other party, Li Luo couldn't help but sigh.

"Uncle" works at the Mengdu Research Institute, so he must know a lot of secrets. The disappearance case that year might have involved some secrets, but the official did not make it public. The truth behind it might not be as simple as what was searched.

The information that has been made public on DreamNet is just what the authorities want the public to see. Moreover, after so many years of dissemination, it must have been processed many times and is far from what really happened back then.

Li Luo knew that the other party definitely wanted to investigate the truth of what happened back then, but she was powerless and could not help him.

After expressing his gratitude, Li Luo closed the dialog box.

She sighed, opened the map, and continued walking towards Mengdu Research Institute.

……

"Is it the dream qi again?"

Although Mo Ling did not understand the theories of "bowing and serving the powerful" that Li Luo said, he could still see that the ability to copy came from dream energy.

The Terror Troops are controlled by dream energy, and the wide variety of supplies are also copied by dream energy. Those strange building blocks are also probably made by dream energy. This thing called dream energy seems to be more "comprehensive" than imagined.

It can be said that the development of the entire Dream City is closely related to the dream atmosphere.

"What on earth is this?"

How come you are so omnipotent?

Mo Ling was also very puzzled. Why hadn't such a powerful substance been promoted to other places?
Is it true that Dream Qi can only be used in Dream City? Or is it that only Dream City has the technology to control this substance?
Human beings are very quick to update materials and are very "fond of new things and tired of old things". Once the technology for smelting iron was developed, no one used bronze anymore.

The replacement of materials is very cruel. A better material can completely replace an inferior material, and no one will use the inferior material anymore. The spread of good materials is also very fast. As long as they can be mass-produced, they can quickly occupy the human industrial system.

But such a "perfect" substance as Dream Qi is only used in Dream City? It has not been promoted at all?

unless……

"Dream Qi has terrible side effects."

“Or, it cannot be mass-produced.”

This is one of the few reasons Mo Ling could think of.

Or it was banned by the authorities because of terrible side effects, and can only be used in Mengdu.

Either it cannot be mass-produced and can only be supplied to limited places, but Mengdu is blessed with the ability to produce this kind of material, so it is utilized according to local conditions.

But at the moment, it seems that there are no side effects. Dreams have been developing for so many years, if there were any side effects, they would have appeared long ago.

“Is it impossible to mass produce it?”

Mo Ling was very curious about how this powerful substance was produced.

But he also understood that this type of technology must be confidential information. Even if Li Luo searched on DreamNet, he probably wouldn't find any results.

Perhaps asking the person who "bows his head and serves the powerful" would give him the answer, but Mo Ling didn't want Li Luo to trouble him again.

"I haven't done what I promised to the other party yet..."

By the way, I have been walking in the city for so long, why haven’t I seen any Tiz troops?

Mo Ling's field of vision has been expanded to the maximum, but he still can't see the black robots.

"Aren't they security robots? Don't they need to patrol?" Ever since they separated from the Terror Force, they haven't been seen again. Mo Ling's eyes swept across the buildings and paths, but he couldn't find them. Instead, he saw surveillance cameras everywhere.

"They patrol the entire city through surveillance?"

Mengdu has a high surveillance coverage rate. Among the flashing neon lights, there are many hidden surveillance cameras. These surveillance cameras can see the messy building alleys clearly, with almost no blind spots.

Even if there are some places that cannot be seen, they are covered by other special surveillance.

If all these surveillance cameras can be connected to the DreamNet, the vigilant troops will not need to patrol in person. If something really happens, they can also quickly rush to the scene through surveillance positioning.

"With so many surveillance cameras, they must have been copied..."

Mo Ling looked at the surveillance cameras that could be seen everywhere, and suddenly he felt like he was stripped naked.

Living in Dream City, it seems like there is no privacy.

“Perhaps this is the price of safety.”

……

Under the neon lights, the surveillance cameras hidden in the colorful lights turned slightly and looked at Li Luo walking on the path.

After staying in the city for a while, her ability to recognize the map of Mengdu has greatly improved, and now she no longer goes the wrong way.

Although Li Luo was still not used to the 3D map and she often had to rotate the map's perspective, her progress was getting faster and faster.

The strange thing is that I didn’t meet anyone on the road.

The shop is self-service, and the winding paths crisscross each other. Even if you are heading in the same direction, you may take two completely different routes.

Neon lights were flickering. Li Luo rubbed his eyes and looked at the isolation bubble in the sky. Looking out from the Dream City, the bubble also reflected a colorful halo, which looked extremely dreamy.

But this city gave Li Luo a feeling of loneliness.

No matter how beautiful a dream is, it is empty inside.

The black building blocks are piled up in a disorderly manner, like all kinds of meaningless garbage. The same and repetitive shops appear one after another. At first, they can make people feel novel, but after being repeated so many times, they give people a weird sense of déjà vu.

The colorful halo is dreamy and gorgeous, but if it lasts for a long time, it will make people feel dizzy and monotonous... Maybe the residents here are also tired of this unchanging neon light.

I would rather go crazy on the dream web than go out for a walk.

The world on the Dream Web is much more interesting than these monotonous neon lights and black building blocks...

There is laughter and joy on the forum, but in reality there is silence. The copied neon lights illuminate the copied roads, and the copied cameras monitor and repeat the copied life.

After all, people can't stare at the gorgeous bubbles for too long.

The repressed heart will not be lit up by the neon lights of reality, it will only jump when it collides with other hearts. Although the dream network is illusory, it also provides the conditions for them to collide, and gradually get lost in the words that go straight to the heart.

Li Luo took a deep breath, lowered his body, walked through the narrow path, and finally arrived in front of the Mengdu Research Institute.

The buildings here are the same as the ones we encountered before, except that they are larger. The black blocks form a closed area, which can only be entered through a gate full of cameras.

As soon as Li Luo stood in front of the gate, the cameras in the neon lights looked at her one after another, as if they were examining this uninvited guest...
