The Name of the Rose [Interstellar]
Chapter 1, Rose (1)
〖Old roses only have their names.All we have is that name. —— Eco "The Name of the Rose"〗
Most of the inexplicable things in the world have their own reasons.
It's just that it often takes a long time before people can gradually understand the original reason.
It all started one suspicious morning.
In fact, saying "morning" is not exact.There is no day and night in space, but humans are still used to living according to Greenwich Mean Time.
Before 05:30, Qin Huan, the Minister of Technology, answered the phone call of his subordinates.
A beautiful young man appeared on the wall screen, with blond hair hanging down his shoulders in a mess, as if he had just been woken up from the bed.And those icy blue eyes were radiant, without any hint of sleepiness.
His name and position are displayed below the image: Xue Yuan, Acting Chief Technology Officer of Watership Federation Fleet.
"Minister, are you looking for me?" The young man's voice was calm and respectful.
"Ah, I'm really sorry to disturb you so early. There are two urgent matters that need you to solve." Qin Huan sent two documents.
The other party quickly browsed, "Okay Minister, I will deal with it right away."
The image on the wall disappeared immediately, but the dazzling blond hair still seemed to be shining in the air.
Qin Huan couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and patted his bare head.He was only in his 40s and already bald.
——Oh, it's all too much pressure.He shook his head sadly thinking.
The technical department is a first-line department with a gathering of elites, and the competition is unprecedentedly fierce.If there is any negligence, you will be kicked into the team of useless wood immediately, and there will be no future.Thanks to having such a capable confidant as Xue Yuan, he was greatly relieved.
Naturally, he would not treat such an excellent subordinate badly.Xue Yuan achieved this position at the age of 26, which is already a rocket-like promotion.
As long as he stays in this position for a few years, without any accidents, he can justifiably remove the word "agent" and become the youngest chief technology officer in the history of the federation.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Yuan immediately logged on to the Federation Fleet's official website "Deep Space Home".
Home page cannot be displayed.
Then go to the forum message board, where the public's complaints have long been swiped:
"Shocked, the website has taken a new pose!"
"The homepage must have been tampered with, administrator, is it really okay for you to be so stupid?"
"It's been 20 minutes and you still haven't recovered, administrator, stand up, I promise I won't beat you to death!"
It seems that the situation is quite serious.
Xue Yuan tied up his long hair and put on a spotless uniform.The top two buttons of the shirt were open as usual, and the angle of the collar was carefully adjusted, revealing half of the sexy collarbone.Finally, spray perfume on the side of the neck and look in the mirror three times before going out with satisfaction.
The data center is at the end of the office area.It was shift change time, and the technical officers who had just left the night shift walked towards the dining room in twos and threes, with their coats on their shoulders, their expressions relaxed, the walkie-talkies pinned to their ears flickered, and the beeps of electronic instruments were patchwork.The entire technical department is like a well-oiled machine, and everyone is busy in an orderly manner.
A red-haired star duty officer rushed forward to report: "It has been switched to the backup server, the data recovery has been completed, and the website can be accessed normally."
"Have you checked the diary?" Xue Yuan sat down unhurriedly, crossed his calves leisurely, and brushed off the non-existent dust on his boots.
"I've checked. At five o'clock this morning, the main web server was attacked by database injection, and someone gained administrator privileges through an ASP Trojan."
"Has the intrusion IP been traced?" Asking this question is just a routine, and the actual meaning is not great.When hackers attack, they usually kidnap another computer, the so-called "meat machine".
The face of the star officer became slightly subtle: "Yes, it has been confirmed."
After waiting for a second, the other party did not continue.Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows impatiently: "Are you squeezing toothpaste? Can't you finish talking at once?"
He has a pair of willow leaf eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling. When he is affectionate, he is as charming as water, and when he is majestic, he is as cold as a knife.
The star officer on duty ate this slap in the face, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure: "That... that... the IP address is... yours."
"Oh?" Xue Yuan uttered a single syllable without emotion.
No wonder the star officer had a subtle expression on his face.The acting chief technology officer's computer was reduced to a "meat machine", and it was a big joke in the technical department to spread the word.
The star officer couldn't figure out the meaning of that sentence "Oh?", so he hurriedly found a step for him: "Boss, I know you masters are as lonely as snow, you must not be too boring, Attack and defend yourself, right?"
"Heh." Xue Yuan chuckled, "I'm sorry, self-improvement is not what I'm interested in."
"Oh, that's right," the star officer was eager to get rid of embarrassment, and called up a page to show Xue Yuan, "This is the homepage that was tampered with at that time, and I saved it."
The background of the picture is a volcano, the nearby is a desolate desert, and there are a few lines of words beside it.The font was dark red, like blood solidified on the wall, and looked very uncomfortable.The text content is like this:
"broom"
fragrant gorse
Settle in the desert
Mount Vesuvius, barren of grass
the brutal destroyer
You are on its barren hillside
Bloom lonely flowers.
Seeing these few lines of words, a cold light flashed across Xue Yuan's eyes.He calmly ordered: "Continue to scan for vulnerabilities, if there is any new situation, please notify me in time."
After temporarily settling here, he rushed to deal with the next thing without stopping.
The intercom was switched to the public affairs channel, and a soft female voice came from my ears: "...the current cosmic radiation intensity: 220 millisieverts per hour, and operations outside the ship can be carried out. Please notify the dispatcher to arrange dispatch according to the work situation of this department. Cabin time. Repeat: current cosmic radiation intensity..."
Xue Yuan connected to a number: "Caifan, help me get 'Arctic Fox' ready, I'll go find you right away."
He was supposed to go directly to the control room, but his footsteps had his own way of thinking, leading him to a closed metal door.A bronze plaque is embedded on the door: "Cybio-ASILab (Artificial Superintelligence Cyber Biological Laboratory)".
In the middle of the empty laboratory stands a large petri dish that simulates the environment of the womb.A young man is completely naked and submerged in artificial amniotic fluid, like a delicate human specimen.
Although he knew that the other party couldn't hear him, Xue Yuan tapped on the glass lightly with his knuckles: "Hi, we will meet soon, are you looking forward to it?"
The opponent's closed eyelids moved slightly.Xue Yuan understood that this was an unconscious activity of the body, not a response to his words.
Through the glass, he covered the other person's face with his palm, and whispered to himself: "What a pity. To you, this is not a kind world."
Dispatcher Chi Caifan stood in front of the landing pad of the transport ship.Dozens of three-to-four-meter-high gray power mechs are neatly arranged in a square line. These are unmanned lightweight models, mainly used to collect energy and samples in space.Beside them, the snow-white "Arctic Fox" stands tall and sharp.
Suddenly, a fragrant wind pierced through the icy metal atmosphere, and a white shadow followed.Xue Yuan leaned lazily on the door frame, moved his fingertips slightly, and a rose bloomed in his palm.But instead of handing it to her, he flicked it aside with his fingers.
Chi Caifan sneered: "You have played this trick for so many years, and you don't feel tired." She put a metal ring on his left arm to read his heartbeat and blood pressure.
Xue Yuan turned his eyes to look elsewhere: "I went to check again just now, 'he' should be recovering soon."
"..." Chi Caifan didn't make a sound.They both consciously or unconsciously avoid some things that are tacit to each other.
She pressed the physiological reading on the measuring device, "The physical condition is normal. Go change clothes and get ready to board the plane."
After entering the cockpit, Xue Yuan took some time to fix himself in the anti-load device.When the mech is launched, his body will withstand an acceleration of 8 to 9 G. These devices can protect his spine to the greatest extent so that he will not die tragically by being broken in two.
Then check the helmet and radiation suit.The vacuum is full of high-energy particle rays, and these ionizing radiations are like invisible sharp knives, cutting off the DNA of the human body.
——The human body is really fragile.Xue Yuan thought sarcastically.
According to the standards of natural humans, his physique is well-deserved strong.However, under the scale of the universe, it is just a vulnerable moth.
No time to feel more, the Arctic Fox was sent into the acceleration cabin.This will be the most painful part of the pilot's entire process from launch to landing.
The acceleration cabin is a long passage, very similar to the structure of the gun | barrel.The Arctic Fox acts as a warhead, and the primer is a nuclear bomb with a [-]-ton equivalent.
"Oh!"
Xue Yuan felt as if he had received a rocket punch from his lower back, and the instantaneous acceleration was as high as 10 G.The speed of the body climbed to [-] kilometers per hour, and began to rotate at a high speed under the action of the rifling to maintain balance.
No matter who you are, Wolverine or Iron Man, being ejected at eleven times the initial velocity of a rifle bullet is absolutely unbearable.You have only two options: Grit your teeth like hell, or choke on your own vomit.
Finally, before tossing the pilot to death, the Arctic Fox broke away from the artificial gravitational field of the ship, began to slow down and gradually stopped spinning.
The weight of Mount Tai's pressure was suddenly lifted from the body, and the internal organs returned to their original positions.Xue Yuan took a long breath, thankful that he was really wise and mighty for not eating breakfast.
"Ivan? Are you dead?" Chi Caifan's voice came from the earphones.
Xue Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly.After so many years, this woman's words are still so unpleasant.
"Ouch, oh my god! My lumbar intervertebral disc hurts like hell, I want to declare a work-related injury!"
She completely ignored his rolling and cuteness: "You better move faster, the radiation is increasing."
Xue Yuan glanced at the panel, 265 mSv/hour.If the human body receives more than 1 millisieverts of radiation at one time, it will cause injury. He must complete the task within an hour and a half - search for the Voyager [-] space probe.
Since its launch in 1977, Voyager 100 has flown nearly 1 billion kilometers in more than 700 years.
Its plutonium battery stopped working as early as 2025. The Federal Fleet intends to catch up with it and temporarily recover it, replace it with a new battery and put it back into space.
However, before it could be recovered, it suddenly disappeared mysteriously.Surveillance data shows that when it flew to a certain area nearby this morning, it lost all signals in an instant, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.
Because a periodic comet is passing in front of the fleet, technicians speculate that it may have crashed there.Xue Yuan's mission this time is to land on the comet and search for it.
The body quickly entered the comet synchronous orbit smoothly, and the cruise mode was turned on.The thrusters send out two long steel cables that drill deep into the comet's nucleus.Arctic Fox is like a snow-white kite, "floating" in the solar wind above the comet.
Xue Yuan turned off the cruise control system and switched to manual fine-tuning.Although comets are large in size, their mass is small, and their escape velocity is a very low value.When it hits the ground with a slightly greater force when it lands, it will be bounced back into space again.
Ten minutes later, the Arctic Fox made a successful soft landing and landed steadily on the surface of the comet.
This is a silent world of ice.The mysterious frost that has condensed here since the formation of the solar system has frozen time and stardust for billions of years.The white mecha stood alone, like a lonely snow fox on the northern Siberian plain.
Xue Yuan opened the program window and entered the command: "Scan elements: gold, uranium 238."
There is very little gold in the universe.Voyager 1 was carrying a gold record and a piece of enriched uranium 238, so just scanning the comet's nucleus for abundance of both elements would tell where it was.
Xue Yuan put his feet on the console, idly waiting for the program to finish running.
Outside the porthole, the Watership Federation Fleet is like neatly arranged migratory birds, quietly suspended in the dark space.Their current location is the edge of the Solar System, where the Oort Cloud meets the ecliptic plane.
The "Oort Nebula" is not a real nebula, but a spherical space region composed of a large wave of comets, enveloping the entire solar system.
If the earth is a house and the solar system is a yard, then the Oort nebula is a spherical wall.After passing through it, human beings will completely leave the range of the solar wind, bid farewell to the solar system, and enter the real interstellar space.
More than 600 billion kilometers away, on the blue planet that gave birth to life, 50 billion abandoned people are desperately hiding in underground heat-insulated and radiation-proof bunkers, waiting to be swallowed by the red giant star sun.
This thought made Xue Yuan feel very uncomfortable, just like a survivor who escaped from a fire feels guilty for the victims.
The electronic voice interrupted his thoughts at the right time: "The scanning is complete, and the specified element was not found."
Voyager 1 is not here.
This is very strange.In the Oort Nebula, the distance between every two celestial bodies is more than 5000 million kilometers, and there is only this comet in this area.There were no meteorites this morning, and it is impossible for Voyager 1 to hit other celestial bodies.
Did it really just disappear out of thin air?
But this is not within the scope of Xue Yuan's concern.His search mission has been completed and he can return.
Compared with the pain of departure, the return flight is quite leisurely.Just take off at a not too fast speed, you can escape the gravitational field of the comet and fly into space.After that, the aircraft will automatically adjust its course until it returns to the ship.
Xue Yuan manually set the parameters.
One two three, let's go~
Before leaving the comet, he took a cautious glance at the ambient values—a casual glance that, it turns out, saved his life.
He suddenly discovered that the gravitational field in front of him was a little bit wrong.
In space travel, gravitational anomalies are a dangerous signal.Black holes and dark matter in space are like icebergs under the sea, which are difficult to observe, and generally can only be discovered by gravitational waves.
Driven by an instinctive sense of crisis, Xue Yuan pulled down the emergency brake hand valve, and at the same time quickly shot the steel cable to the ground.
The airframe just started to accelerate, and was caught during take-off, and the result can be imagined.
"Duang!"
The Arctic Fox completed a 180-degree S-shaped back seat with a high difficulty in the air.
Normally, Xue Yuan would have been furious in his heart.He took his princely image so seriously that he would never allow himself to pose so inelegantly, even if no one was watching.
But he didn't have such leeway at the moment.Right in front of his eyes, an incredible scene happened.
Ice fragments shattered by steel cables fly from the surface of the comet and blast | into space.However, the moment they touched a certain area, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they had crashed into some invisible magic pocket.
Chi Caifan called eagerly through the intercom system: "Ivan? What happened, do you want to send more technical officers?"
After a while, Xue Yuan's voice came back: "The technical officer is already incompetent. I think we probably need a priest."
The author has something to say:
☆, rose
Several days passed, and the Federal Fleet was at a loss for that piece of "Space Bermuda".
That area is like a transparent invisible wall, lying across the fleet's advancing route.Light and particle flow can pass through, but all macroscopic objects visible to the naked eye cannot pass through.All macroscopic objects that touched this invisible wall disappeared out of thin air, and even the remote-controlled unmanned detectors never returned, and there was no way to figure out where they went.
Just one step away from interstellar space, humanity is walled off.
There are "people" - or there are "somethings" who don't want humans to go further in the universe.
Although the future of all mankind is in jeopardy, the work that needs to be done must continue to be done.
The "Human Software Project" is progressing as scheduled.
The predecessor of this project was the Human Genome Project.Just as computer programs are products of permutations of 0s and 1s, humans are products of permutations of DNA that can be programmed and programmed like software.
Today, the first genetically modified human "Killian" produced by 4D printing technology was successfully born to study the combination of human and artificial intelligence brain-computer.
Xue Yuan is the person in charge of this project and the technical officer who wrote the program for Killian.
"Do it well," Qin Huan said, patting him on the shoulder more than once, "You have really caught up with a historic moment. If you succeed, your name will be recorded in the annals of history forever."
In the glass room that looks like a greenhouse, the "human specimen" from a few days ago is sitting in the corner.
He was still naked, except for a plastic card clipped to his ear, on which his personal information was registered:
Name: Qi Lian
English name: Killian
Biological age: 20±
Blood type: O
Seeing Xue Yuan come in, he stood up curiously and lay down on the glass, like a puppy in a pet store hoping to be taken away.This was the first time he saw a real human being.
He didn't have a physical childhood, he was born this big.Although intellectually an adult, he has less experience than a toddler.
Xue Yuan approached him, stretched out his arm, and there was a wall dong from HLL: "Good morning, baby~~"
"........."
"Can't talk?" Xue Yuan frowned habitually, and raised the other's chin with his index finger.Qi Lian has completed basic learning through "prenatal education", so there should be no language barriers.
"Well...good morning." The other party said jerkyly.
"Very good.—Why are you still holding this, doesn't it hurt?" Xue Yuan took off the plastic card on his ear.The metal clip was very hard, and his earlobe was red with a deep mark.
Qi Lian reached out to touch her earlobe: "They didn't say they could take it off."
"Don't pay attention to them." Xue Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the words on the card, "Qi Lian, Killian. Do you like this name? Qi is your 'father''s last name."
"My dad?"
"Well, strictly speaking, your DNA sample provider."
"Why doesn't he come to see me?"
Xue Yuan automatically ignored this question, and continued: "I am a good friend of your 'father', you should call me uncle. But that seems too unfamiliar, so you can call me Mr. Respected Technician."
"........."
There were hardly any furnishings in the room, Xue Yuan looked around and had to sit down on the simple folding bed. "I don't have a job today, just to meet you. In the future, I will be the person you see the most. You can ask me any questions, but whether I answer them or not is another matter."
Qi Lian leaned close to his neck and sniffed it: "You smell so good. Why is my smell different from yours?"
"Because I use perfume. You smell like disinfectant, of course it doesn't smell good."
Qi Lian didn't speak anymore, and he didn't know if he knew what perfume and disinfectant were.The two stared at each other until a burst of music sounded, and the image of the psychiatrist Anna appeared on the wall screen.
"Good morning, Killian!" She smiled, "Starting today, I will give you psychological counseling every day."
Xue Yuan whistled, stood up and shook his clothes: "Then I'll go first. —See you at the dinner party." The last sentence was for Anna.
Anna waited for him to go out, and asked Qi Lian, "What's your impression of Ivan?"
"Who is Ivan?"
"Your technical officer. Didn't he introduce himself to you just now?" Anna pouted towards the door.
"Uh... the name on his badge is Xue Yuan."
"Ivan is his Russian name, and he has Russian ancestry. By the way, you may still hear someone call him 'Luzka' in the future, which is his nickname, which means 'Little Rose' in Russian." She Blinking narrowly.
"Little Rose?"
"That's right. When I didn't know him before, when I heard people mention Розка【※】, I thought it was a girl. It was only later that I found out that the famous Little Rose turned out to be a man." Anna seemed to be recalling some beautiful past, and lowered her eyes Laughed a bit. "Well, let's talk about you. How are you feeling? Do you have any questions for me?"
Qi Lian thought for a while, "My technical officer, what kind of person is he?"
"He...it's hard to say." Anna pondered for a while, "He is quite elusive. He is not as good as he looks, nor is he as bad as he looks. He is a typical acting personality, and you will slow down in the future." Slowly found out. Do you like him?"
Qi Lian nodded: "He is very fragrant."
Anna observed his expression, and her tone became serious: "Killian, although it may not be good for me to say this, you'd better remember that he is just your technical officer. You will cooperate for a while, that's all. That's all. Don't invest too much emotion in that person, or you will be miserable one day in the future."
Lanling wine tulips, jade cups filled with amber light.
The banquet hall is resplendent and magnificent, and the bright light of crystal chandeliers spreads on the Persian carpet.
Chi Caifan, who was wearing a backless evening dress, took Xue Yuan's arm and showed a polite smile to every guest who greeted them.She was almost Xue Yuan's regular female companion when attending dinner parties. This "more than a friend but less than a lover" relationship lasted for six years, causing constant speculation from the outside world.
Whether it was a coincidence or on purpose, they were seated in the same seat as Anna, next to each other.
The people around all tried their best to hide the expression of "wait and see the good show" on their faces.This is like an [-] o'clock soap opera where "a scumbag brings a senior gossip girlfriend to a dinner party, and meets his ex-girlfriend who is not connected".
As if afraid of not being enough, another female guest appeared like a butterfly, sat down beside Xue Yuan, and greeted delicately: "Ivan!"
The entire fleet knew that this lady's catchphrase was "Marry someone like Ivan".She changed the lyrics of "Marry someone like Putin" and publicized it everywhere:
"I want a man like Ivan
I saw him on the news yesterday
He said that human technology is increasing exponentially
he is so attractive
makes me want to
a man like ivan
a strong man like ivan
A man as technical as Ivan
A man who doesn't break my heart like Ivan
A man like Ivan who won't leave me. "
There are three women in one play, and the onlookers are very anxious.
Facing the gossip universe that everyone was raging about, Xue Yuan, the person involved, didn't feel any embarrassment at all.The reason is simple: his relationship with these three women is not as entangled as the outside world thinks.
He dealt with them without any pressure, and he didn't neglect any of them: he was affectionate and unfriendly to Chi Cai, he was considerate and thoughtful to Anna, and he did enough lip service to Miss Jiao Didi, making her giggle and giggle non-stop.
"Ivan, tell me again how you conjured roses with your bare hands." Miss Jiao Didi tugged on his sleeve affectionately.
"Oh, well, it's actually very simple." Xue Yuan gracefully picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, avoiding her tugging without showing any trace.Spreading out the palm, an exquisite and translucent ball like a red bean appeared in the palm of my hand.
"Roses are made of special materials, compressed into this shape, and hidden here." He pointed to his cuff, "There is a hidden pocket here, just take one out when people are not paying attention, and gently twist it -"
"Flop", a rose appeared in his hand in response.
Everyone understands the truth, but it is not easy to play superbly and never miss.Therefore, all the guests at the table clapped their hands very cooperatively.
Xue Yuan handed it to Miss Jiao Didi: "Beautiful flowers should be matched with beautiful people."
Miss Jiao Didi took the flowers, and glanced at Chi Caifan and Anna with special meaning.
Regarding her demonstration, Chi Caifan smiled and said nothing, but Anna turned a blind eye.
Compared with the strange aura among the female guests, the attention of the male guests was on another matter.
A well-dressed gentleman approached Xue Yuan, and pointed out the window mysteriously: "I heard that that thing - you found it?"
"Ah, um." Xue Yuan took a sip of red wine and shrugged easily.
The male guest further lowered his voice: "Can you—disclose the details?"
"Well," Xue Yuan started Tai Chi skillfully with diplomatic rhetoric, "there is no official conclusion yet. However, before I came to the banquet hall, I heard that our official website is preparing to release news. Although we don't know the final version yet How high the transparency can be, but I think the official statement this time will be quite sincere. After all, this is a major issue that concerns all mankind, and everyone should have the right to know."
As soon as the big words "all mankind" appeared, all the men in the room froze like chicken blood, and all of them made generous speeches, expressing their great insights on the evolution of the future human social pattern.
While they were talking, Xue Yuan cast his eyes on the goblet in his hand.The crystal-clear wine reflects the dark space outside the window, and two red light beams can be vaguely seen, like two warning tapes floating on the sea.
Those were beams of light from two unmanned spaceships hovering in the distance, marking the invisible barrier.
The red giant sun is accelerating its expansion, and even if it does not spread to the Oort Nebula, it will cut off all human retreats.At that time, the best result for human beings was to be trapped here helplessly, watching the vast world in front of them and the destroyed homes behind them, and starving to death after the supplies were exhausted.
Xue Yuan maliciously speculated that at that time, whether these elegant and calm men and women would show a panicky ugly look?
After dinner, it's time for refreshments and drinks.
This is a special time for getting together and chatting. People spontaneously disperse into small groups to exchange information and maintain relationships.
Xue Yuan was entangled by Miss Jiao Didi, discussing the style of the Russian piano school and the rhythm of Yesenin's poems, and finally got away with work as an excuse.
In a crowded place, it is very easy to find a place where technical officers gather: Technical Minister Qin Huan's head is always shining like a light bulb, and there must be a group of senior officials around him. A senior technical officer is like a small solar system.
But today, a strange planet appeared in this small solar system: beside Qin Huan stood a young man whom no one knew.
"Iwan, come here." Qin Huan hooked his finger to Xue Yuan.
The young man glanced at him, and stretched out his hand calmly: "Hi, my name is Joey. You don't need to introduce yourself, I know you. Arctic Fox, Little Rose."
"..." Xue Yuan slightly bent his lips, and shook the other's hand symbolically.
He hates being called by nicknames by people he doesn't know well.The neutral "Arctic Fox" is fine, but "Little Rose" has a strong feminine color.In the words of several of his close colleagues, "It sounds very popular."
It's okay to joke like this among friends, but it's more like a provocation to say it from an unfamiliar mouth, let alone this arrogant guy in front of you.
The two sides chatted for a while, and Joey left the venue first with an excuse.
Xue Yuan waited quietly for him to walk away, then moved sideways to Qin Huan's side, raised his glass to cover his lips and asked softly, "Minister, who is that guy?"
"Huh, 'airborne troops'." Qin Huan also replied in the same gesture.
There are now two camps in the Ministry of Technology: those who support the development of artificial superintelligence, and those who oppose it.At such a juncture, Joey was inserted by the management.
Qin Huan continued: "During this period of time, you must be very careful in your work, and don't let anyone catch you. You handled the website affairs well a few days ago, and there are no omissions, right?"
"No, don't worry."
The information that the hacker used Xue Yuan's IP to intrude into the server has been blocked, and it was claimed that a technician on duty made a mistake and accidentally posted the homepage of his personal website on the homepage of "Deep Space Home".In order to make things more real, several technical officers also specially made a website as a cover to deceive people.
Fortunately, the "invisible wall" has attracted the public's attention recently. Compared with it, this incident is so small that it is not worth mentioning, and it is quickly forgotten.
However, for Xue Yuan, this matter is far more than that simple on the surface.
There is one piece of information that he did not disclose to anyone: Those lines of poems were written by himself.
He has a small hobby. He likes to translate some poems in his spare time and post them on his blog for his enjoyment.Blogging is anonymous and completely private, no second person knows.
The song "Gorse" is a long poem by the Italian poet Leopardi, which he completed not long ago.He liked the poem very much and spent several nights translating it line by line.I just posted it on my blog, but I didn't expect it to be stolen in such a weird way.
Therefore, this hacker attack, on the surface, seems to be targeting the website, but in fact it is more like targeting Xue Yuan himself.
This thought made Xue Yuan feel like a light on his back.
He is well aware of his greatest weakness: a suspicious nature.
To deal with a person like him, the best way is to set up a suspicious formation, so that the prey will fall into a strange circle of suspicion and fear all day long.
He has seen with his own eyes that someone fell into such a mind-boggling tactic, their rationality was disintegrated step by step by their opponents, and they finally ended up exhausted and left in a disastrous defeat.Not defeated by the opponent's setup, but defeated by one's own nature.
As he was thinking about this, suddenly two fierce eyes seemed to shoot from nowhere, sticking to his body, making him feel a chill down his spine.
He pretended to walk casually to the porthole, and the whole universe instantly rushed into his field of vision.In the banquet hall, the fragrance of clothes, the shadows of the temples and the cups of wine are reflected on the glass, becoming a flowing relief on this cosmic picture.
——Behind all these smiling masks, who is killing intent, and what is their purpose?
Xue Yuan's pupils tightened slightly, and an imperceptible sneer curled up on the corner of his lips.
He pressed the button to close the visor, shutting out the darkness of the universe.
Without the shielding of the atmosphere, there is only a metal bulkhead between humans and space.Outside the cabin is the endless chaos of ancient times, while inside the cabin is the orderly human order.
The human world is in it, impartial and silent.
The author has something to say: [※] "Lusha (Роза, Rose)" is a Russian girl's name, which is equivalent to Rose in English, and it is generally not used to address men. "Luzka (Розка, little rose)" is a diminutive form of "Lusa", indicating intimacy)
☆, rose
When Xue Yuan went to see Qi Lian the next day, he was sitting in a corner with a book open on his lap.
The temperature in the room is well adjusted, but the staff may feel that it is inappropriate to keep him naked like an animal, so they put a white shirt on him.
"Morning." Xue Yuan said.
Qi Lian laughed: "You speak like a fox."
"What fox?"
Qi Lian pointed to a passage in the book and showed it to Xue Yuan:
"Morning," said the fox.
"Who are you?" said the little prince, "you are beautiful."
"I am a fox," said the fox.
"I just saw you here when you came here." Qi Lian looked very happy.
"Oh." Xue Yuan glanced at it without interest, "They let you watch "The Little Prince"?"
"They gave me a few books to choose from, and I chose this one. It seems very interesting." Qi Lian turned back to the cover of "The Little Prince", a little blond boy standing on a small planet superior.
"Yeah, not bad." Xue Yuan casually agreed, spreading the laptop on the small table.
"What are we doing today?" Qi Lian watched him turn on the phone.
"I'm busy, you don't have anything to do at the moment, keep reading your book." Xue Yuan waved his hand.He plans to write out the pseudocode of the brain-computer combination driver today.Pseudocode is like an outline, which is used to roughly record ideas for further improvement in the future.
This job is not easy.Xue Yuan bit his lower lip, thinking about the algorithm, and brushed his hair back with one hand.The ears hidden in the blond hair were exposed because of this action, and the translucent white auricles had a beautiful shape.
Most of the inexplicable things in the world have their own reasons.
It's just that it often takes a long time before people can gradually understand the original reason.
It all started one suspicious morning.
In fact, saying "morning" is not exact.There is no day and night in space, but humans are still used to living according to Greenwich Mean Time.
Before 05:30, Qin Huan, the Minister of Technology, answered the phone call of his subordinates.
A beautiful young man appeared on the wall screen, with blond hair hanging down his shoulders in a mess, as if he had just been woken up from the bed.And those icy blue eyes were radiant, without any hint of sleepiness.
His name and position are displayed below the image: Xue Yuan, Acting Chief Technology Officer of Watership Federation Fleet.
"Minister, are you looking for me?" The young man's voice was calm and respectful.
"Ah, I'm really sorry to disturb you so early. There are two urgent matters that need you to solve." Qin Huan sent two documents.
The other party quickly browsed, "Okay Minister, I will deal with it right away."
The image on the wall disappeared immediately, but the dazzling blond hair still seemed to be shining in the air.
Qin Huan couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and patted his bare head.He was only in his 40s and already bald.
——Oh, it's all too much pressure.He shook his head sadly thinking.
The technical department is a first-line department with a gathering of elites, and the competition is unprecedentedly fierce.If there is any negligence, you will be kicked into the team of useless wood immediately, and there will be no future.Thanks to having such a capable confidant as Xue Yuan, he was greatly relieved.
Naturally, he would not treat such an excellent subordinate badly.Xue Yuan achieved this position at the age of 26, which is already a rocket-like promotion.
As long as he stays in this position for a few years, without any accidents, he can justifiably remove the word "agent" and become the youngest chief technology officer in the history of the federation.
After hanging up the phone, Xue Yuan immediately logged on to the Federation Fleet's official website "Deep Space Home".
Home page cannot be displayed.
Then go to the forum message board, where the public's complaints have long been swiped:
"Shocked, the website has taken a new pose!"
"The homepage must have been tampered with, administrator, is it really okay for you to be so stupid?"
"It's been 20 minutes and you still haven't recovered, administrator, stand up, I promise I won't beat you to death!"
It seems that the situation is quite serious.
Xue Yuan tied up his long hair and put on a spotless uniform.The top two buttons of the shirt were open as usual, and the angle of the collar was carefully adjusted, revealing half of the sexy collarbone.Finally, spray perfume on the side of the neck and look in the mirror three times before going out with satisfaction.
The data center is at the end of the office area.It was shift change time, and the technical officers who had just left the night shift walked towards the dining room in twos and threes, with their coats on their shoulders, their expressions relaxed, the walkie-talkies pinned to their ears flickered, and the beeps of electronic instruments were patchwork.The entire technical department is like a well-oiled machine, and everyone is busy in an orderly manner.
A red-haired star duty officer rushed forward to report: "It has been switched to the backup server, the data recovery has been completed, and the website can be accessed normally."
"Have you checked the diary?" Xue Yuan sat down unhurriedly, crossed his calves leisurely, and brushed off the non-existent dust on his boots.
"I've checked. At five o'clock this morning, the main web server was attacked by database injection, and someone gained administrator privileges through an ASP Trojan."
"Has the intrusion IP been traced?" Asking this question is just a routine, and the actual meaning is not great.When hackers attack, they usually kidnap another computer, the so-called "meat machine".
The face of the star officer became slightly subtle: "Yes, it has been confirmed."
After waiting for a second, the other party did not continue.Xue Yuan raised his eyebrows impatiently: "Are you squeezing toothpaste? Can't you finish talking at once?"
He has a pair of willow leaf eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling. When he is affectionate, he is as charming as water, and when he is majestic, he is as cold as a knife.
The star officer on duty ate this slap in the face, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure: "That... that... the IP address is... yours."
"Oh?" Xue Yuan uttered a single syllable without emotion.
No wonder the star officer had a subtle expression on his face.The acting chief technology officer's computer was reduced to a "meat machine", and it was a big joke in the technical department to spread the word.
The star officer couldn't figure out the meaning of that sentence "Oh?", so he hurriedly found a step for him: "Boss, I know you masters are as lonely as snow, you must not be too boring, Attack and defend yourself, right?"
"Heh." Xue Yuan chuckled, "I'm sorry, self-improvement is not what I'm interested in."
"Oh, that's right," the star officer was eager to get rid of embarrassment, and called up a page to show Xue Yuan, "This is the homepage that was tampered with at that time, and I saved it."
The background of the picture is a volcano, the nearby is a desolate desert, and there are a few lines of words beside it.The font was dark red, like blood solidified on the wall, and looked very uncomfortable.The text content is like this:
"broom"
fragrant gorse
Settle in the desert
Mount Vesuvius, barren of grass
the brutal destroyer
You are on its barren hillside
Bloom lonely flowers.
Seeing these few lines of words, a cold light flashed across Xue Yuan's eyes.He calmly ordered: "Continue to scan for vulnerabilities, if there is any new situation, please notify me in time."
After temporarily settling here, he rushed to deal with the next thing without stopping.
The intercom was switched to the public affairs channel, and a soft female voice came from my ears: "...the current cosmic radiation intensity: 220 millisieverts per hour, and operations outside the ship can be carried out. Please notify the dispatcher to arrange dispatch according to the work situation of this department. Cabin time. Repeat: current cosmic radiation intensity..."
Xue Yuan connected to a number: "Caifan, help me get 'Arctic Fox' ready, I'll go find you right away."
He was supposed to go directly to the control room, but his footsteps had his own way of thinking, leading him to a closed metal door.A bronze plaque is embedded on the door: "Cybio-ASILab (Artificial Superintelligence Cyber Biological Laboratory)".
In the middle of the empty laboratory stands a large petri dish that simulates the environment of the womb.A young man is completely naked and submerged in artificial amniotic fluid, like a delicate human specimen.
Although he knew that the other party couldn't hear him, Xue Yuan tapped on the glass lightly with his knuckles: "Hi, we will meet soon, are you looking forward to it?"
The opponent's closed eyelids moved slightly.Xue Yuan understood that this was an unconscious activity of the body, not a response to his words.
Through the glass, he covered the other person's face with his palm, and whispered to himself: "What a pity. To you, this is not a kind world."
Dispatcher Chi Caifan stood in front of the landing pad of the transport ship.Dozens of three-to-four-meter-high gray power mechs are neatly arranged in a square line. These are unmanned lightweight models, mainly used to collect energy and samples in space.Beside them, the snow-white "Arctic Fox" stands tall and sharp.
Suddenly, a fragrant wind pierced through the icy metal atmosphere, and a white shadow followed.Xue Yuan leaned lazily on the door frame, moved his fingertips slightly, and a rose bloomed in his palm.But instead of handing it to her, he flicked it aside with his fingers.
Chi Caifan sneered: "You have played this trick for so many years, and you don't feel tired." She put a metal ring on his left arm to read his heartbeat and blood pressure.
Xue Yuan turned his eyes to look elsewhere: "I went to check again just now, 'he' should be recovering soon."
"..." Chi Caifan didn't make a sound.They both consciously or unconsciously avoid some things that are tacit to each other.
She pressed the physiological reading on the measuring device, "The physical condition is normal. Go change clothes and get ready to board the plane."
After entering the cockpit, Xue Yuan took some time to fix himself in the anti-load device.When the mech is launched, his body will withstand an acceleration of 8 to 9 G. These devices can protect his spine to the greatest extent so that he will not die tragically by being broken in two.
Then check the helmet and radiation suit.The vacuum is full of high-energy particle rays, and these ionizing radiations are like invisible sharp knives, cutting off the DNA of the human body.
——The human body is really fragile.Xue Yuan thought sarcastically.
According to the standards of natural humans, his physique is well-deserved strong.However, under the scale of the universe, it is just a vulnerable moth.
No time to feel more, the Arctic Fox was sent into the acceleration cabin.This will be the most painful part of the pilot's entire process from launch to landing.
The acceleration cabin is a long passage, very similar to the structure of the gun | barrel.The Arctic Fox acts as a warhead, and the primer is a nuclear bomb with a [-]-ton equivalent.
"Oh!"
Xue Yuan felt as if he had received a rocket punch from his lower back, and the instantaneous acceleration was as high as 10 G.The speed of the body climbed to [-] kilometers per hour, and began to rotate at a high speed under the action of the rifling to maintain balance.
No matter who you are, Wolverine or Iron Man, being ejected at eleven times the initial velocity of a rifle bullet is absolutely unbearable.You have only two options: Grit your teeth like hell, or choke on your own vomit.
Finally, before tossing the pilot to death, the Arctic Fox broke away from the artificial gravitational field of the ship, began to slow down and gradually stopped spinning.
The weight of Mount Tai's pressure was suddenly lifted from the body, and the internal organs returned to their original positions.Xue Yuan took a long breath, thankful that he was really wise and mighty for not eating breakfast.
"Ivan? Are you dead?" Chi Caifan's voice came from the earphones.
Xue Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly.After so many years, this woman's words are still so unpleasant.
"Ouch, oh my god! My lumbar intervertebral disc hurts like hell, I want to declare a work-related injury!"
She completely ignored his rolling and cuteness: "You better move faster, the radiation is increasing."
Xue Yuan glanced at the panel, 265 mSv/hour.If the human body receives more than 1 millisieverts of radiation at one time, it will cause injury. He must complete the task within an hour and a half - search for the Voyager [-] space probe.
Since its launch in 1977, Voyager 100 has flown nearly 1 billion kilometers in more than 700 years.
Its plutonium battery stopped working as early as 2025. The Federal Fleet intends to catch up with it and temporarily recover it, replace it with a new battery and put it back into space.
However, before it could be recovered, it suddenly disappeared mysteriously.Surveillance data shows that when it flew to a certain area nearby this morning, it lost all signals in an instant, as if it had evaporated out of thin air.
Because a periodic comet is passing in front of the fleet, technicians speculate that it may have crashed there.Xue Yuan's mission this time is to land on the comet and search for it.
The body quickly entered the comet synchronous orbit smoothly, and the cruise mode was turned on.The thrusters send out two long steel cables that drill deep into the comet's nucleus.Arctic Fox is like a snow-white kite, "floating" in the solar wind above the comet.
Xue Yuan turned off the cruise control system and switched to manual fine-tuning.Although comets are large in size, their mass is small, and their escape velocity is a very low value.When it hits the ground with a slightly greater force when it lands, it will be bounced back into space again.
Ten minutes later, the Arctic Fox made a successful soft landing and landed steadily on the surface of the comet.
This is a silent world of ice.The mysterious frost that has condensed here since the formation of the solar system has frozen time and stardust for billions of years.The white mecha stood alone, like a lonely snow fox on the northern Siberian plain.
Xue Yuan opened the program window and entered the command: "Scan elements: gold, uranium 238."
There is very little gold in the universe.Voyager 1 was carrying a gold record and a piece of enriched uranium 238, so just scanning the comet's nucleus for abundance of both elements would tell where it was.
Xue Yuan put his feet on the console, idly waiting for the program to finish running.
Outside the porthole, the Watership Federation Fleet is like neatly arranged migratory birds, quietly suspended in the dark space.Their current location is the edge of the Solar System, where the Oort Cloud meets the ecliptic plane.
The "Oort Nebula" is not a real nebula, but a spherical space region composed of a large wave of comets, enveloping the entire solar system.
If the earth is a house and the solar system is a yard, then the Oort nebula is a spherical wall.After passing through it, human beings will completely leave the range of the solar wind, bid farewell to the solar system, and enter the real interstellar space.
More than 600 billion kilometers away, on the blue planet that gave birth to life, 50 billion abandoned people are desperately hiding in underground heat-insulated and radiation-proof bunkers, waiting to be swallowed by the red giant star sun.
This thought made Xue Yuan feel very uncomfortable, just like a survivor who escaped from a fire feels guilty for the victims.
The electronic voice interrupted his thoughts at the right time: "The scanning is complete, and the specified element was not found."
Voyager 1 is not here.
This is very strange.In the Oort Nebula, the distance between every two celestial bodies is more than 5000 million kilometers, and there is only this comet in this area.There were no meteorites this morning, and it is impossible for Voyager 1 to hit other celestial bodies.
Did it really just disappear out of thin air?
But this is not within the scope of Xue Yuan's concern.His search mission has been completed and he can return.
Compared with the pain of departure, the return flight is quite leisurely.Just take off at a not too fast speed, you can escape the gravitational field of the comet and fly into space.After that, the aircraft will automatically adjust its course until it returns to the ship.
Xue Yuan manually set the parameters.
One two three, let's go~
Before leaving the comet, he took a cautious glance at the ambient values—a casual glance that, it turns out, saved his life.
He suddenly discovered that the gravitational field in front of him was a little bit wrong.
In space travel, gravitational anomalies are a dangerous signal.Black holes and dark matter in space are like icebergs under the sea, which are difficult to observe, and generally can only be discovered by gravitational waves.
Driven by an instinctive sense of crisis, Xue Yuan pulled down the emergency brake hand valve, and at the same time quickly shot the steel cable to the ground.
The airframe just started to accelerate, and was caught during take-off, and the result can be imagined.
"Duang!"
The Arctic Fox completed a 180-degree S-shaped back seat with a high difficulty in the air.
Normally, Xue Yuan would have been furious in his heart.He took his princely image so seriously that he would never allow himself to pose so inelegantly, even if no one was watching.
But he didn't have such leeway at the moment.Right in front of his eyes, an incredible scene happened.
Ice fragments shattered by steel cables fly from the surface of the comet and blast | into space.However, the moment they touched a certain area, they all disappeared without a trace, as if they had crashed into some invisible magic pocket.
Chi Caifan called eagerly through the intercom system: "Ivan? What happened, do you want to send more technical officers?"
After a while, Xue Yuan's voice came back: "The technical officer is already incompetent. I think we probably need a priest."
The author has something to say:
☆, rose
Several days passed, and the Federal Fleet was at a loss for that piece of "Space Bermuda".
That area is like a transparent invisible wall, lying across the fleet's advancing route.Light and particle flow can pass through, but all macroscopic objects visible to the naked eye cannot pass through.All macroscopic objects that touched this invisible wall disappeared out of thin air, and even the remote-controlled unmanned detectors never returned, and there was no way to figure out where they went.
Just one step away from interstellar space, humanity is walled off.
There are "people" - or there are "somethings" who don't want humans to go further in the universe.
Although the future of all mankind is in jeopardy, the work that needs to be done must continue to be done.
The "Human Software Project" is progressing as scheduled.
The predecessor of this project was the Human Genome Project.Just as computer programs are products of permutations of 0s and 1s, humans are products of permutations of DNA that can be programmed and programmed like software.
Today, the first genetically modified human "Killian" produced by 4D printing technology was successfully born to study the combination of human and artificial intelligence brain-computer.
Xue Yuan is the person in charge of this project and the technical officer who wrote the program for Killian.
"Do it well," Qin Huan said, patting him on the shoulder more than once, "You have really caught up with a historic moment. If you succeed, your name will be recorded in the annals of history forever."
In the glass room that looks like a greenhouse, the "human specimen" from a few days ago is sitting in the corner.
He was still naked, except for a plastic card clipped to his ear, on which his personal information was registered:
Name: Qi Lian
English name: Killian
Biological age: 20±
Blood type: O
Seeing Xue Yuan come in, he stood up curiously and lay down on the glass, like a puppy in a pet store hoping to be taken away.This was the first time he saw a real human being.
He didn't have a physical childhood, he was born this big.Although intellectually an adult, he has less experience than a toddler.
Xue Yuan approached him, stretched out his arm, and there was a wall dong from HLL: "Good morning, baby~~"
"........."
"Can't talk?" Xue Yuan frowned habitually, and raised the other's chin with his index finger.Qi Lian has completed basic learning through "prenatal education", so there should be no language barriers.
"Well...good morning." The other party said jerkyly.
"Very good.—Why are you still holding this, doesn't it hurt?" Xue Yuan took off the plastic card on his ear.The metal clip was very hard, and his earlobe was red with a deep mark.
Qi Lian reached out to touch her earlobe: "They didn't say they could take it off."
"Don't pay attention to them." Xue Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the words on the card, "Qi Lian, Killian. Do you like this name? Qi is your 'father''s last name."
"My dad?"
"Well, strictly speaking, your DNA sample provider."
"Why doesn't he come to see me?"
Xue Yuan automatically ignored this question, and continued: "I am a good friend of your 'father', you should call me uncle. But that seems too unfamiliar, so you can call me Mr. Respected Technician."
"........."
There were hardly any furnishings in the room, Xue Yuan looked around and had to sit down on the simple folding bed. "I don't have a job today, just to meet you. In the future, I will be the person you see the most. You can ask me any questions, but whether I answer them or not is another matter."
Qi Lian leaned close to his neck and sniffed it: "You smell so good. Why is my smell different from yours?"
"Because I use perfume. You smell like disinfectant, of course it doesn't smell good."
Qi Lian didn't speak anymore, and he didn't know if he knew what perfume and disinfectant were.The two stared at each other until a burst of music sounded, and the image of the psychiatrist Anna appeared on the wall screen.
"Good morning, Killian!" She smiled, "Starting today, I will give you psychological counseling every day."
Xue Yuan whistled, stood up and shook his clothes: "Then I'll go first. —See you at the dinner party." The last sentence was for Anna.
Anna waited for him to go out, and asked Qi Lian, "What's your impression of Ivan?"
"Who is Ivan?"
"Your technical officer. Didn't he introduce himself to you just now?" Anna pouted towards the door.
"Uh... the name on his badge is Xue Yuan."
"Ivan is his Russian name, and he has Russian ancestry. By the way, you may still hear someone call him 'Luzka' in the future, which is his nickname, which means 'Little Rose' in Russian." She Blinking narrowly.
"Little Rose?"
"That's right. When I didn't know him before, when I heard people mention Розка【※】, I thought it was a girl. It was only later that I found out that the famous Little Rose turned out to be a man." Anna seemed to be recalling some beautiful past, and lowered her eyes Laughed a bit. "Well, let's talk about you. How are you feeling? Do you have any questions for me?"
Qi Lian thought for a while, "My technical officer, what kind of person is he?"
"He...it's hard to say." Anna pondered for a while, "He is quite elusive. He is not as good as he looks, nor is he as bad as he looks. He is a typical acting personality, and you will slow down in the future." Slowly found out. Do you like him?"
Qi Lian nodded: "He is very fragrant."
Anna observed his expression, and her tone became serious: "Killian, although it may not be good for me to say this, you'd better remember that he is just your technical officer. You will cooperate for a while, that's all. That's all. Don't invest too much emotion in that person, or you will be miserable one day in the future."
Lanling wine tulips, jade cups filled with amber light.
The banquet hall is resplendent and magnificent, and the bright light of crystal chandeliers spreads on the Persian carpet.
Chi Caifan, who was wearing a backless evening dress, took Xue Yuan's arm and showed a polite smile to every guest who greeted them.She was almost Xue Yuan's regular female companion when attending dinner parties. This "more than a friend but less than a lover" relationship lasted for six years, causing constant speculation from the outside world.
Whether it was a coincidence or on purpose, they were seated in the same seat as Anna, next to each other.
The people around all tried their best to hide the expression of "wait and see the good show" on their faces.This is like an [-] o'clock soap opera where "a scumbag brings a senior gossip girlfriend to a dinner party, and meets his ex-girlfriend who is not connected".
As if afraid of not being enough, another female guest appeared like a butterfly, sat down beside Xue Yuan, and greeted delicately: "Ivan!"
The entire fleet knew that this lady's catchphrase was "Marry someone like Ivan".She changed the lyrics of "Marry someone like Putin" and publicized it everywhere:
"I want a man like Ivan
I saw him on the news yesterday
He said that human technology is increasing exponentially
he is so attractive
makes me want to
a man like ivan
a strong man like ivan
A man as technical as Ivan
A man who doesn't break my heart like Ivan
A man like Ivan who won't leave me. "
There are three women in one play, and the onlookers are very anxious.
Facing the gossip universe that everyone was raging about, Xue Yuan, the person involved, didn't feel any embarrassment at all.The reason is simple: his relationship with these three women is not as entangled as the outside world thinks.
He dealt with them without any pressure, and he didn't neglect any of them: he was affectionate and unfriendly to Chi Cai, he was considerate and thoughtful to Anna, and he did enough lip service to Miss Jiao Didi, making her giggle and giggle non-stop.
"Ivan, tell me again how you conjured roses with your bare hands." Miss Jiao Didi tugged on his sleeve affectionately.
"Oh, well, it's actually very simple." Xue Yuan gracefully picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, avoiding her tugging without showing any trace.Spreading out the palm, an exquisite and translucent ball like a red bean appeared in the palm of my hand.
"Roses are made of special materials, compressed into this shape, and hidden here." He pointed to his cuff, "There is a hidden pocket here, just take one out when people are not paying attention, and gently twist it -"
"Flop", a rose appeared in his hand in response.
Everyone understands the truth, but it is not easy to play superbly and never miss.Therefore, all the guests at the table clapped their hands very cooperatively.
Xue Yuan handed it to Miss Jiao Didi: "Beautiful flowers should be matched with beautiful people."
Miss Jiao Didi took the flowers, and glanced at Chi Caifan and Anna with special meaning.
Regarding her demonstration, Chi Caifan smiled and said nothing, but Anna turned a blind eye.
Compared with the strange aura among the female guests, the attention of the male guests was on another matter.
A well-dressed gentleman approached Xue Yuan, and pointed out the window mysteriously: "I heard that that thing - you found it?"
"Ah, um." Xue Yuan took a sip of red wine and shrugged easily.
The male guest further lowered his voice: "Can you—disclose the details?"
"Well," Xue Yuan started Tai Chi skillfully with diplomatic rhetoric, "there is no official conclusion yet. However, before I came to the banquet hall, I heard that our official website is preparing to release news. Although we don't know the final version yet How high the transparency can be, but I think the official statement this time will be quite sincere. After all, this is a major issue that concerns all mankind, and everyone should have the right to know."
As soon as the big words "all mankind" appeared, all the men in the room froze like chicken blood, and all of them made generous speeches, expressing their great insights on the evolution of the future human social pattern.
While they were talking, Xue Yuan cast his eyes on the goblet in his hand.The crystal-clear wine reflects the dark space outside the window, and two red light beams can be vaguely seen, like two warning tapes floating on the sea.
Those were beams of light from two unmanned spaceships hovering in the distance, marking the invisible barrier.
The red giant sun is accelerating its expansion, and even if it does not spread to the Oort Nebula, it will cut off all human retreats.At that time, the best result for human beings was to be trapped here helplessly, watching the vast world in front of them and the destroyed homes behind them, and starving to death after the supplies were exhausted.
Xue Yuan maliciously speculated that at that time, whether these elegant and calm men and women would show a panicky ugly look?
After dinner, it's time for refreshments and drinks.
This is a special time for getting together and chatting. People spontaneously disperse into small groups to exchange information and maintain relationships.
Xue Yuan was entangled by Miss Jiao Didi, discussing the style of the Russian piano school and the rhythm of Yesenin's poems, and finally got away with work as an excuse.
In a crowded place, it is very easy to find a place where technical officers gather: Technical Minister Qin Huan's head is always shining like a light bulb, and there must be a group of senior officials around him. A senior technical officer is like a small solar system.
But today, a strange planet appeared in this small solar system: beside Qin Huan stood a young man whom no one knew.
"Iwan, come here." Qin Huan hooked his finger to Xue Yuan.
The young man glanced at him, and stretched out his hand calmly: "Hi, my name is Joey. You don't need to introduce yourself, I know you. Arctic Fox, Little Rose."
"..." Xue Yuan slightly bent his lips, and shook the other's hand symbolically.
He hates being called by nicknames by people he doesn't know well.The neutral "Arctic Fox" is fine, but "Little Rose" has a strong feminine color.In the words of several of his close colleagues, "It sounds very popular."
It's okay to joke like this among friends, but it's more like a provocation to say it from an unfamiliar mouth, let alone this arrogant guy in front of you.
The two sides chatted for a while, and Joey left the venue first with an excuse.
Xue Yuan waited quietly for him to walk away, then moved sideways to Qin Huan's side, raised his glass to cover his lips and asked softly, "Minister, who is that guy?"
"Huh, 'airborne troops'." Qin Huan also replied in the same gesture.
There are now two camps in the Ministry of Technology: those who support the development of artificial superintelligence, and those who oppose it.At such a juncture, Joey was inserted by the management.
Qin Huan continued: "During this period of time, you must be very careful in your work, and don't let anyone catch you. You handled the website affairs well a few days ago, and there are no omissions, right?"
"No, don't worry."
The information that the hacker used Xue Yuan's IP to intrude into the server has been blocked, and it was claimed that a technician on duty made a mistake and accidentally posted the homepage of his personal website on the homepage of "Deep Space Home".In order to make things more real, several technical officers also specially made a website as a cover to deceive people.
Fortunately, the "invisible wall" has attracted the public's attention recently. Compared with it, this incident is so small that it is not worth mentioning, and it is quickly forgotten.
However, for Xue Yuan, this matter is far more than that simple on the surface.
There is one piece of information that he did not disclose to anyone: Those lines of poems were written by himself.
He has a small hobby. He likes to translate some poems in his spare time and post them on his blog for his enjoyment.Blogging is anonymous and completely private, no second person knows.
The song "Gorse" is a long poem by the Italian poet Leopardi, which he completed not long ago.He liked the poem very much and spent several nights translating it line by line.I just posted it on my blog, but I didn't expect it to be stolen in such a weird way.
Therefore, this hacker attack, on the surface, seems to be targeting the website, but in fact it is more like targeting Xue Yuan himself.
This thought made Xue Yuan feel like a light on his back.
He is well aware of his greatest weakness: a suspicious nature.
To deal with a person like him, the best way is to set up a suspicious formation, so that the prey will fall into a strange circle of suspicion and fear all day long.
He has seen with his own eyes that someone fell into such a mind-boggling tactic, their rationality was disintegrated step by step by their opponents, and they finally ended up exhausted and left in a disastrous defeat.Not defeated by the opponent's setup, but defeated by one's own nature.
As he was thinking about this, suddenly two fierce eyes seemed to shoot from nowhere, sticking to his body, making him feel a chill down his spine.
He pretended to walk casually to the porthole, and the whole universe instantly rushed into his field of vision.In the banquet hall, the fragrance of clothes, the shadows of the temples and the cups of wine are reflected on the glass, becoming a flowing relief on this cosmic picture.
——Behind all these smiling masks, who is killing intent, and what is their purpose?
Xue Yuan's pupils tightened slightly, and an imperceptible sneer curled up on the corner of his lips.
He pressed the button to close the visor, shutting out the darkness of the universe.
Without the shielding of the atmosphere, there is only a metal bulkhead between humans and space.Outside the cabin is the endless chaos of ancient times, while inside the cabin is the orderly human order.
The human world is in it, impartial and silent.
The author has something to say: [※] "Lusha (Роза, Rose)" is a Russian girl's name, which is equivalent to Rose in English, and it is generally not used to address men. "Luzka (Розка, little rose)" is a diminutive form of "Lusa", indicating intimacy)
☆, rose
When Xue Yuan went to see Qi Lian the next day, he was sitting in a corner with a book open on his lap.
The temperature in the room is well adjusted, but the staff may feel that it is inappropriate to keep him naked like an animal, so they put a white shirt on him.
"Morning." Xue Yuan said.
Qi Lian laughed: "You speak like a fox."
"What fox?"
Qi Lian pointed to a passage in the book and showed it to Xue Yuan:
"Morning," said the fox.
"Who are you?" said the little prince, "you are beautiful."
"I am a fox," said the fox.
"I just saw you here when you came here." Qi Lian looked very happy.
"Oh." Xue Yuan glanced at it without interest, "They let you watch "The Little Prince"?"
"They gave me a few books to choose from, and I chose this one. It seems very interesting." Qi Lian turned back to the cover of "The Little Prince", a little blond boy standing on a small planet superior.
"Yeah, not bad." Xue Yuan casually agreed, spreading the laptop on the small table.
"What are we doing today?" Qi Lian watched him turn on the phone.
"I'm busy, you don't have anything to do at the moment, keep reading your book." Xue Yuan waved his hand.He plans to write out the pseudocode of the brain-computer combination driver today.Pseudocode is like an outline, which is used to roughly record ideas for further improvement in the future.
This job is not easy.Xue Yuan bit his lower lip, thinking about the algorithm, and brushed his hair back with one hand.The ears hidden in the blond hair were exposed because of this action, and the translucent white auricles had a beautiful shape.
