Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 8: Triple Disc of Sun Island

Bad Ri never came to Sun Island, because he would obviously be despised here.

Except for those 800 people, all the residents of Sun Island can only live on those "discs".

They are strictly divided into three classes according to their different levels of intelligence.

Outstanding researchers who can analyze ancient technologies and study new-generation technologies can live on the "First Disc", enjoy more superior treatment and a better environment than Tianen Park, and hold enviable super high salary.

And when they want to consume, they can go to the "Second Disc" on the upper floor for luxury shopping and enjoyment. This is the place where the businessmen stay. The idols, stars, and bosses who are worshiped in Happy Island all live here. Their airship landing pad is also established here... When all guests from other places access Sun Island's network, they will also be assigned the "Second Disk" identity verification.

One level higher is the narrow and crowded third disk.

It is called "foolish people" and "thick soil" by the lower-class residents. Mere contact with them is "stained with dirt".

The residents of the third disc have no entertainment at all, they just repeat the endless boring work day after day.

Unless they can show superior wisdom at the childhood stage, they may be discovered by the "wisdom inspector" from the second disc inspection, and connected to the second disc school for free learning. They at this stage are called "Seeds" - "There are good seeds in thick soil", this is a proverb in Sun Island.

If you fail, you will be expelled and returned to the third disc; but if your grades are good enough, you can be transferred to a higher academy for the next stage of study.

If you can show extraordinary talent in it, it means blooming, you can enter the first disc for advanced research, but you can't bring your family, because they are still rough and dirty without being submerged in the water of wisdom. Or they can also teach students in the second disc, or engage in business and simple research and production work... In short, they have a good life.

Because of this, Sun Island is the only empty island where the status of merchants is inferior to that of scholars. What kind of product do the bosses want to develop, they have to talk to the masters about their product needs in a humble manner... If the other party has a temper, they may not do it halfway.

Because any product and research cannot bypass patents—and the secretary committee can announce that any research and production have stolen their patents and confiscate them; Holds a large number of patents. For them, a patent is a knife sharp enough to let those bosses work for them as long as they want.

The residents of the lower disc can go to the upper disc at any time, and they can also leave at any time; but the ID codes of the residents of the upper disc limit their range of action, and they cannot enter the lower disc without permission, so as not to cause damage to the lower disc. The "wiser ones" of the chart cause trouble. If you want to get down, you can only jump from the edge of the disc—if you can make your own glider, you may be able to sneak down alive.

But just smuggling doesn't make any sense. The end result is usually caught and turned into research material... but the upper dwellers obviously don't know it.

On their side, there are also entertainment literature works that enter the lower disk through a glider and hide their identities to become big shots. Everyone who flies down on a hang glider will be envied by them and imagine that they have lived a good life... Maybe they also know the truth and are just deceiving themselves.

For wisdom and knowledge cannot be hidden. No matter how good the disguise is, once you open your mouth, you will be exposed.

At the same time, it is precisely because Sun Island's admiration for wisdom and contempt for stupid people is completely greater than its hatred for those without codes. The uncoded people don’t even necessarily live on the third disc...if they have enough wisdom, they can even break through and enter the lower two discs to live or study. And no matter how chaotic the third disk is, it will not affect the order of the disk below at all, and it is not only the uncoded who will make trouble.

In other words, even a person with an ID code cannot enter the second disk through the elevator. So the difference between them and those without a code is actually not very big.

Sun Island is the empty island that stores the most ancient technology. Those who are uneducated can't even get guns, let alone more high-tech protective clothing. And the doctors of the first disk can even drive drones in groups as they please.

At Sun Island, intelligence is everything. It is force, it is wealth, and it is absolute status.

—The water of wisdom is thicker than blood.

But in the same way, because things like wisdom may not be able to inherit... the children born to the doctors of the first disk will be sent directly to the second disk, and cannot be educated and raised privately.

Because raising children will occupy their energy for advanced research. And their brains are the most precious wealth of Sun Island.

They can also do their best to give their offspring the best education, nutrition, and more expensive auxiliary chips... This is the last preferential treatment. But if even so, they cannot be recognized by the committee, and they still cannot enter the first disc when they graduate, they will not be able to reach the area where their parents are for the rest of their lives, and can only spend the rest of their lives in the second disc.

This is equivalent to drawing a card and not shipping it. If it's not SSR, even SR can't join the team, just go directly to the warehouse and never see you again.

And their regenerated children may further "degrade" and fall into the third disc.

Residents who are not from the same disc, even the blood relationship cannot be maintained - after the parents of the first disc die, the wealth will not be inherited by the offspring of the second disc. Because when they cannot enter the first disc, they are no longer related. In the same way, if the parents of the third disk give birth to a child who can enter the second or even the first disk, they will not be able to actively contact each other. If the other party does not want to come back, they will never see each other again.

Because in the higher disk, even the signal cannot appear in the lower place.

"Because of this, Sun Island's concept of kinship is also quite weak. For the doctors of the first disc, children are more of an 'accident of love' to them. On the contrary, the second disc and the first disc The parents of Sanyuanpan will work hard to educate their children to become talents, and hope that they will come back to feed themselves after they become talents...but most of them will never see each other again."

Bad Sun said softly: "Because the worship of wisdom and contempt for fools are engraved into their bones. Even if the fools are their parents.

"Although they are very close to Tongshen Island, these two empty islands are completely opposite. They are like mirror images.

"The entire Sun Island... is like a cold and ruthless assembly line that was built using human beings only to produce excellent researchers.

"—However, it is also the most important sky island to us among the seven sky islands.

"Because Sun Island's job is to 'research for the world'.

"What they are trying to recover is the lost ancient technology~www.wuxiahere.com~ what they are trying to heal are those cursed and polluted lands. They even have a permanent guideline of 'how to restore the entire ecosystem if they can heal the land' topic.

"Because of this, although it is cold, ruthless, arrogant, luxurious, sinful... But we still can't touch it. These brains are ready to wait, sacrificing ordinary feelings, and using all their lives to engage in the most taboo and most important Most useless research. Some 'reserve knowledge' that may not be put into practice until they die.

"When we find out the truth of history, we still have to rely on the most intelligent brains among human beings to help us turn illusory knowledge... into real power."

Bad Ri looked at Russell with deep meaning: "When you come back from Tongshen Island, don't rush back. I'll take you to Sun Island.

"After experiencing the impact of Tongshen Island, you must have a deeper feeling for Sun Island.

"—and a deeper understanding of what we're doing, what it means to you, and our existence."
