Chapter 6 fourth quarter

Shaw Building is a building donated by the famous patriot Mr. Run Run Shaw. The problem is that there is not only one Shaw Building.In fact, you will never know how many Shaw Buildings there are in the whole country.In short, in your lifetime, no matter which city you live in, you will encounter at least one or two.Like Jiefang Avenue, People's Square, Victoria Community, and Provence wedding photography, it has become a standard in every city in China and is everywhere. Therefore, when the stone tablet engraved with the words "Shaw Building" appeared in front of us, everyone's first reaction was not horror, but warmth.At that moment, some people thought of their primary school days; some people thought of their middle school days; some people thought of their college days; Everyone has a nostalgic look of reminiscing about the past events in many stages such as love and love.

"This library... is also the Shaw Building?" I was the first to regain consciousness and asked, and then realized that this question was a bit stupid: Old Wang was knocked out there and couldn't answer; Sister Zheng was still at the fire While recuperating.At this time, a person snorted out from under a pile of books behind me: "I know, I know." When I saw a radio in his hand, I knew it was Zhu Jiayin.Zhu Jiayin sniffed her nose: "This library is a Soviet-style building with a history of more than 40 years, but it was renovated once 15 years ago. It was donated by Run Run Shaw and was later named after the Shaw Building." How do you know so clearly?" Zhu Jiayin raised her chin: "Do you think the buildings in the capital are built randomly? Why is Xizhimen Bridge so complicated? Why is Line 13 set up in such a remote place in Beiyuan? Why is Nancheng Can’t develop after so many years? Why is it forbidden to build buildings higher than the Hall of Supreme Harmony on the central axis? Let me tell you, all of these are connected! The bricks, tiles, trees, and alleys of the capital do not exist in isolation ..." "Where are so many nonsense coming from! Let's talk first! We Xuanwu people are not as cowardly as Xicheng people!" Tian Xiao took the lead and was about to rush in, but was grabbed by Shao Xuecheng: "Be careful, what's inside here The reality is unknown, so be careful." Shao Xuecheng said these words with a feeling of familiarity.He realized our puzzled eyes, and rubbed his nose embarrassedly: "I don't know why, anyway, I just know." It was his blood stained on the door just now, and the electronic lock opened automatically.This can't help but make people think about the relationship between this Shaw Building and Shao Xuecheng.

Is it not a coincidence that we fled to this place? I looked around and saw that Liu Yue, Xiaoying, Xu Qi, and Li Chao were taking mental opium and lost their minds.Wang Dapeng, Long Aotian and Zheng Dajie were outside by the fire, and Lao Wang fainted to the ground.Currently, only Shao Xuecheng, me, Tian Xiao, Xu Cong, and a neurotic Zhu Jiayin are the only ones who can move. The ten stops have already gone to the six stops, one five three eight four, and I feel a little sad. "Throwing them here, will they freeze to death?" Xu Cong couldn't bear it.Shao Xuecheng said: "Burn more books for them, it shouldn't have much impact for a while." We picked some literature books, especially a large number of modern poetry anthologies.This kind of book has more blank space, less ink, and has a light smell when burned, and no one will feel distressed.We made the fire blazing, and put those people in positions to keep warm, and then we came to the entrance.

Shao Xuecheng was in front, Tian Xiao, Xu Cong and Zhu Jiayin filed in, and I was in charge of holding the line.After our group passed the stone tablet, there was a narrow downward passage in front of us. The air had a slight smell of decay, obviously it hadn't been ventilated for a long time.With the help of the light provided by the torch, I saw several faded movie posters on the brick walls on both sides, all produced by Shaw Brothers without exception, and the protagonists without exception were the heroic Liu Jiaqiang in his youth. To our surprise, the further we went down, the higher the temperature.We've spent days in the cold, and our bodies, suffering from hypothermia, are extremely sensitive to temperature changes.The current temperature change at least proves that the library on the second basement floor is a warmer place than the upper one, even if there is nothing in it, it is still worth it.

The passage is not long, but it is very winding, and we are turning almost all the time.I even had the illusion that we will go all the way to the center of the earth like this.Zhu Jiayin babbled all the way in front of me. I asked him what he was talking about, and he said he was calculating the depth based on the slope and pace.According to his calculations, we have now penetrated about 20 meters underground, which is already higher than the height of the ordinary second underground floor. Even the second underground floor of Wenyi cannot reach this deep. "What do you think will be next?" For the first time, I asked Zhu Jiayin seriously.Zhu Jiayin slowed down a little, and distanced herself from the three people in front of her: "This question is not easy to answer. Ma, since the disaster happened, I have been thinking about it. Even if you think I am ridiculous, I have been thinking about it. Now I have a little understanding, the puzzle is not finished, but the outline is there. Would you like to listen to me this time?" I remained silent and walked down following his pace.One copy was almost burned out, so I replaced it with "The Beginning of Man", but this one had a lot of yellow marks on it, so it was not easy to burn. "If you think about it, there are many people from Hong Kong and Taiwan who do charity in the mainland, such as Li Ka-shing, Fok Ying-tung, and Guo Taiming. They donate no less money to the mainland than Run Run Shaw, but why are there only Shaw Buildings everywhere? No, not everywhere, it's simply It is everywhere. Why is Run Run Shaw the only one with such influence? Is he fond of fame, or does he have some deep meaning? At least one building named after the donor has been built in every city, which has never been seen in the history of our country But why did the country allow him to do this?"

Before I had time to think about the answer, Zhu Jiayin quickly continued: "Everyone has been saying that the country is playing a big game of chess, and their tongues are cocooned. But everyone got the point wrong. The point is not how the country plays this game. Chess, but what kind of chess is the country playing? Go, military chess, or chess?" "Uh..." I really didn't think about it from this angle, "What kind of chess are you talking about?" "At first, I didn't know it too well, but when I saw the word Shaw Building, all the dots and lines were connected, and I suddenly woke up. This game of chess played by the country is checkers!" "Draughts "You think carefully about the rules of checkers. It is completely different from other games. The purpose of other games is to eat up the opponent's pieces, and sacrifice your own pieces when necessary. But checkers is different. Checkers is not about eating Its purpose is to move all the stones of one's side to the designated position smoothly, and there must be no less. Compared with the ruthlessness of other chess games, don't you think checkers is in line with the most precious spirit of human beings?" "Okay Okay, I understand what you mean. You mean, the country played this game of... er... checkers to let everyone survive the disaster?" "That's right." "But what does this have to do with Shaw House ?” “Actually, the answer has always been there, but you don’t want to look at it.” Zhu Jiayin suddenly raised a torch and illuminated a photo hanging on the wall.This is a small five-storey building similar to a library, with the three words Douda written on the main entrance: Shaw Building.

"Look at this photo, and pay attention to the nameplate marked on the building." Following Zhu Jiayin's guidance, I saw a copper nameplate hanging between the first and second floors of the small building in the photo.I remembered that every Shaw building will carry a nameplate, which will state that it was donated by Mr. Run Run Shaw.Zhu Jiayin asked me to take a closer look, and I realized that there was a line of English below the Chinese on the nameplate. "When the vast majority of Chinese people look at this nameplate, they only read Chinese and ignore English. The answer is right in front of them without knowing it." Zhu Jiayin said with sarcasm.I widened my eyes with shame, tried to look, and finally recognized it from the photo. It was Run Run Shaw's English name: Run Run Shaw.

Shao... Shao Pao Pao?My jaw almost dropped, a detail I really hadn't noticed before. Zhu Jiayin said: "Run means to run, and it has been repeated twice. This is a clear and unmistakable warning. It is like the sign of the emergency escape route, suggesting to everyone that if there is danger, run here. Or why? Does every city have a Shaw Building?" "So that means the Shaw Building is an emergency shelter?" I held my breath. "This is not an ordinary refuge." Zhu Jiayin sneered, "Run Run Shaw is just a superficial symbol, and it also has a deeper hint. The word Shaw Building, do you think of anything?" "...No it's just The name of the donor!" "Think of these three characters as a whole, and read them quickly." "Shaw Building, Shaw Building, Shaw Building, E Flow..." "Stop! Yes, this is it. Hong Kong people like to use English words are localized, for example, Showhand is called Stud, Strawberry is called Strawberry, and Plum is called Buyan. In the same way, the meaning of Shaw House is E Flow—note that because this is the mainland, the pronunciation is in Mandarin. "E Flow? What the hell is this?" "I've been wondering what this thing is, but when the door opened, I finally found out!" echo.The first three people turned around one after another and asked what we were doing. I said I was listening to Zhu Jiayin's analysis of the situation, and all three of them smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

I was dizzy by this plausible conspiracy theory reasoning, but Zhu Jiayin was very excited: "Run Run is to avoid disasters, so E means extinction, which is a catastrophe enough to cause human extinction!" My footsteps The son stopped: "What about E Flow?" "As the name suggests, E Flow certainly refers to the related processes set up to deal with catastrophes. For example, Doomsday Broadcasting is a part of E Flow; Doomsday Seed Bank is also a part of it; and Shaw Building , is the most critical core of E FLow. What it wants to protect is the seed of mankind. Mr. Run Run Shaw has worked hard for the country and the nation..." "You mean, there will be a doomsday base underground?" Zhu Jiayin nodded: "Before I entered the door, I was only 30% sure, but now I am 80% sure." As he spoke, the radio in his hand suddenly emitted a high-frequency noise, like a human scream, and then disappeared.Zhu Jiayin's complexion changed drastically, he hurriedly adjusted a few times, looked up and said: "There is nothing wrong, a powerful radio station has just started under our feet..." "If it is really the doomsday base, then the thirteen of us are really It's saved." I said happily.

But Zhu Jiayin shook her head: "You don't understand, if it's just to preserve the doomsday base of human beings, the country won't go around in such a big circle. Don't forget, only Shao Xuecheng can open this door just now, and we can't. Why? Yes, every doomsday base will have a watchman. The watchman of this base is undoubtedly Pharaoh. According to the logic, Pharaoh should lead us in as soon as possible when the disaster happens, but he does everything possible to stop it, at the cost of sacrificing himself , why is that?" Zhu Jiayin squinted her eyes, looked at the seemingly endless corridor in front of her, and said softly: "There must be some other hidden intention on the second basement floor, I can't figure it out yet." Zhu Jiayin." "Ah?" "You've seen too much." We continued to walk for more than ten minutes, and the three people in front finally stopped. Zhu Jiayin and I rushed over and found that it was a dead end. At the end hangs an oil painting, on which is an old man, kind and compassionate.We looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

"Look, you guessed wrong, didn't you?" I whispered to Zhu Jiayin.Zhu Jiayin pointed at the portrait confidently and said, "No mistake, this is Mr. Run Run Shaw. I saw him on TV a while ago." "But where is the doomsday base?" I asked.But Zhu Jiayin couldn't answer. Shao Xuecheng frowned tightly, untied the band wrapped around his hands, and gently rubbed the wound against the portrait.When all the portraits were dyed red, the entire frame suddenly turned over, revealing a small computer screen.A row of numbers is displayed on the computer screen: 20013/100000.The previous number is still growing slowly, but at a very slow pace. At this time, a voice came from the ceiling: "No. 874, Shaw Building, start." With a few slight sounds of gears turning, the wall in front of us suddenly parted, and the fluorescent lights inside were turned on at the same time.What greeted our eyes was a spacious, bright and spotless pure white room. Its front was a super-large LCD screen, and there was something like a console, but there were only two buttons on it.At the back of the room is a large-scale warehouse. The standard Arabic numerals are written on the warehouse door, and it seems that there is a lot of stock. Zhu Jiayin shouted excitedly: "Look! Look! I guessed it right! It's the Doomsday Base!" He was so happy that he was going crazy.Everyone didn't have time to congratulate him, and they couldn't wait to rush in, but they all bounced back screaming. It turned out that there was still a glass wall between that comfortable room and us. "You are still 79,987 knowledge points away from entering Shaw Building No. 874." The voice on the ceiling reminded coldly. "What kind of knowledge?" Xu Cong shouted inexplicably, trying to attack again, but it still failed.The hardness of the glass wall does not seem to be inferior to steel.There is nothing more painful than watching happiness but being unable to touch it. We tried all kinds of methods, Shao Xuecheng even bit his finger and smeared blood on the wall, but the glass wall remained indifferent.Angrily, Tian Xiao kicked the glass wall hard, but screamed in pain.With nowhere to go, we had no choice but to hope for good news.This guy who was originally regarded as a psychopath has now become a savior.Zhu Jiayin closed her eyes and thought for a while, then asked us: "Do you feel that the beating of this number is similar to a certain frequency?" , the speed at which the book burns in the flame.” We looked at each other, and Zhu Jiayin explained that it took a certain amount of time for each book to be thrown into the fire until it was completely turned into ashes. Before we left, we threw a large number of modern poetry collections into the fire, according to Based on the format and material of these books, as well as the intensity of the fire, the time for complete burning is close to the speed at which the number jumped just now. "I have an idea, my God... If it is confirmed, it means that the designer of this doomsday base is really crazy..." Zhu Jiayin murmured, "Go back to the library and get me five travel books. Books such as "I must go to ××× in my life", and then take three books on advanced mathematics, one "The Complete Book of Jin Ping Mei", one, and the other one, go quickly!" Now no one dares to neglect He, Tian Xiao and Xu Cong ran back in a hurry, and came down with a pile of books after a while.Zhu Jiayin picked up a magazine torch, and first burned a copy of "One Hundred Beauties Around the World You Must Visit in a Lifetime", and the numbers on the screen increased by a few; then he burned a copy of "Linear Algebra", and the numbers on the screen The number suddenly decreased, and it decreased by more than a hundred.We didn't dare to intervene, and we were very busy watching him burn high mathematics and travel guides for a while. Zhu Jiayin was busy for a while, put down the rest of the books, stood up, and said to Shao Xuecheng and me, "I have good news and a piece of news that I don't know good or bad." "Listen first." Shao Xuecheng remained calm. "I've already figured out how to enter the doomsday base. The designer has installed a knowledge evaluation access system for this base." "What the hell is this?" "Simply put, the designer doesn't want the doomsday base to become a dish In the market, only those who are valuable to the continuation of human civilization are eligible to enter the refuge. And the way to judge the value of these people is to see how deep they understand the human knowledge system." "How do you know? Who the fuck is All-rounder?" Tian Xiao was furious. "You don't have to know all the knowledge, but you have to know which things are most important to the survival of civilization, which ones are not important, and which ones are not important at all. There is a ranking of importance." Zhu Jiayin pointed at her head, "This The Shaw building is built under the library, and all the books in the library are small weights. Our book burning actions are transmitted to the counter here by the chip in the book. Every time a book is burned, it is very important for the continuation of human beings. Books that are not important to civilization will increase the corresponding points; every time a book that is crucial to human civilization is burned, the corresponding points will be reduced. If we want to enter the doomsday base, we must prove it to the computer, and we can accurately judge Find out which ones are important and which ones are not, until you get 100,000 knowledge points." "We have completed 20% now?" Shao Xuecheng looked at the numbers, thoughtfully. "Thanks for success studies and inspiration, but the few dictionaries we burned have deducted a lot of points. Under this system, the punishment for burning the wrong books is much greater than the benefits for burning the right books." "Problem Yes, what is right and what is wrong?" Xu Cong asked. Zhu Jiayin picked up a few books left on the ground, and talked eloquently: "I just took a few books to do an experiment. The punishment for burning advanced mathematics is very serious. It can be seen that science and engineering are very important to the survival of human civilization. This judgment is in line with Common sense, so this kind of book must not be burned. However, the next part is the most difficult part. According to my experiments, burning "One Hundred Beautiful Views of the World to Go to in a Lifetime" will add 5 points to each book. If it is too high, it means that the designer hates this kind of books and thinks they are worthless; then I burned it and got 7 points, and I burned it and got 10 points, which shows that the designer is afraid of Australian literature and stream of consciousness, but has no respect; But when I burned "The Complete Golden Vase", I was deducted 15 points, the designer must have enjoyed reading it..." "What exactly do you want to say?" Tian Xiao heard a little impatiently. "Haven't you understood? This means, we have to find out the reading taste, habits, personality and personal preferences of this damn designer, and know him better than his friends! Then pick out from the 200,000 books Burn his least favorite book, or he will die!" Zhu Jiayin yelled.
