Bionic Era

The A00 is the supercomputer above and beyond.

So Lu Wen could understand her confidence.

But now A00 himself began to doubt this confidence.

"I really don't have much energy for the past few days. I always feel sleepy. Forget it...I'll go back and get a good sleep. I'll find Xiaojiang tomorrow to see if he's dead or not."

A00 took Lu Wen back to her own room.

This is a big warehouse.

All kinds of parts and electronic equipment are scattered in the warehouse. They all look old, and the computers on the desktop are still in the style of 80 years ago.

Messy wires are entangled on the floor of the warehouse, and you may trip if you don't pay attention to walking.

Lu Wen saw the warehouse laboratory of the first-generation R\u0026D team in the video Yin Long left him.

So he gets it.

This is the result of A00 copying all the things in the warehouse laboratory where she was born according to her memory, and finally presenting the effect.

This is her home.

There is also a photo on the table.

There are two people in the photo, a standing girl and an old man in a wheelchair.

That old man is Dr. Blue River.

At that time, his life was running out.

He sees it openly and does not need so-called life-extending drugs.

A00 found him at that time, explained the truth to him, and asked someone to take this photo for them.

"I can't see that you are quite nostalgic." Lu Wen said.

There are also many photos hanging on the walls of the warehouse.

That is every breakthrough and every innovation of Bilan.

Many people in the photos have now become part of history.

"You will feel it later too, living too long, watching those familiar people grow old, and finally become a little box in the cemetery."

A00 sat on a small bed in the innermost part of the warehouse, staring at everything in the warehouse with sleepy eyes.

For her, these things are all memories of the past, which cannot be traced back.

"I used to create a human identity for myself, integrated into their society, and made many friends. I even worked as an engineer in Bilanli for a few years...but the more I got to know, the sadder it was when we parted."

A00 pointed to the photos on the wall.

In many old photos, a young girl can be seen.

Occasionally, she also appears as a mature woman.

She is like a lonely dead soul, feeling joy and sorrow with the living life around her.

Until those people also slowly become ghosts.

"Every year, I go to those people's tombstones, and after their relatives and descendants leave, I present a bouquet of flowers and ask them whether there is a paradise."

"Many people have even had their tombstones dug up, saying that it was the expansion of the city, and their descendants visited less and less often."

"Actually, Xiao Jiang is also like this..."

Dr. Jiang?

Lu Wen thought that this old man stayed alone in his research institute all year round, seeing no outsiders.

Are you also unable to face the death of someone you know well?

"In fact, the problem of human beings' inability to live forever is not only their own distress, we are also troubled for them."

"Don't try to meet too many human friends..."

"Maybe there will be immortality technology in the future..."

"Help me turn off the light..."

A00 lay down on the bed slowly.

Next to the bed is an old vinyl record player.

The lonely old record began to spin slowly, the stylus slid across the grooves on the vinyl surface, and a piece of music that Lu Wen was more familiar with sounded.

That's Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, the promotional song for Twilight Wolf's Homecoming.

The old voice slowly echoed in the warehouse, making one think of a vicissitudes of the back, full of exhaustion, riding away into the dusk.

Lu Wen turned off the lights and pulled down the shutter door of the warehouse.

...

Overnight.

At six o'clock in the morning, the city ushered in dawn.

In the most central building.

Everyone surrounded Xia Chuluo.

Miss Xia called everyone over early in the morning. She thought it was something else, but she didn't expect to leave a last message.

"I've tried three times last night, one for the date my father and mother met, and one for the date they were married."

"The last time was the day my mother gave birth to me."

"But it didn't work in the end."

There are only three trial and error chances for this box in total.

That is.

Next time, if Xia Chuluo's password is correct, the box will be opened.

If wrong.

Everything inside, along with her, would be blown to pieces.

"Miss Xia, don't be impulsive, just find a machine to press the password for you." Constantine said hastily.

"No, I want to try it myself."

Xia Chuluo calmly looked at the black suitcase.

From small to large.

People around her often say a word: She is indeed the daughter of Xia Zheng.

That name grew up with her, until now.

Many people said that they could see Xia Zheng's shadow in her, and that the two had very similar personalities and natural intelligence, but without exception, they all just felt that Xia Chuluo was closer to Xia Zheng.

As for the real abilities of the two of them.

Still too far off.

Xia Chuluo was able to capture this information from the words of many people.

Even everyone in her team often said things like 'Miss Xia and Mr. Xia are very close'.

How close it is, everyone has a standard in mind.

Xia Chuluo knew that she would never be able to replace that person, and she never thought of doing so, but she just didn't want to live in that person's shadow for the rest of her life.

Lu Wen walked forward slowly and sat beside Xia Chuluo.

Of course he understood that this girl was stubborn and would not change anything she had decided.

"If I accidentally get bombed to pieces, you all go back, and want to live in Eden or any human city..."

"It's best to enjoy it while you still have the energy. There's no need to live a life full of guns and bullets every day... I have a lot of money in my account, and you can ask Lu Wen to take some away."

Xia Chuluo said this to all members of the team.

As soon as this was said, everyone knew that she would not change her mind.

But they are still persuading.

Fatty Jiang persuasively said: "Miss Xia, this... this is just a box, there is no need to be serious, there are so many bionics in Eden, they are immortal, just find one to try the password for the last time..."

"That's right, Brother Jiang is right. In fact, I don't even need bionics. I can make a simple little robot on the spot." Lu Yang echoed.

"If it doesn't work, let Lu Yang try the password." Fatty Jiang said hurriedly, "Lu Yang is ugly, and people who are ugly will not be too unlucky, otherwise they would not have the courage to live to this day."

Lu Yang: "..."

But Fatty Jiang's gag didn't make Xia Chuluo say anything more.

Her eyes were calm and she said nothing.

Even if she can't surpass her father...

It doesn't make sense that he can't even unlock a lockbox he left behind.

Just when she was about to try for the last time, Lu Wen suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped the index finger that was about to press.

"Your thinking is wrong." Lu Wen said to her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"Your first three passwords are all related to your mother, because in your subconscious, your father only cares about your mother, even if it is the date of your last birth, you only think he is worried about your mother giving birth to you Something happened."

Lu Wen slowly let go of Xia Chuluo's arm.

He sat on one side, his reaction speed was much faster than Xia Chuluo's, and he could stop her at any time.

Hearing this, Xia Chuluo frowned and thought for a long time.

In her memory, her father rarely talked to her too much.

What Xia Tian is leaving for her has always been gathering less and leaving more.

Nothing seemed to be able to bind that man, except her mother.

He also rarely promised Xia Chuluo anything.

Except one time when I came back...

He held the young Xia Chuluo in his arms, and said that when she was eighteen, he would take her to the central city to watch the fireworks.

Think here.

Xia Chuluo no longer hesitated.

Her memory is very good. After cleaning up all the memories before the age of six, her father only gave her this promise.

She held out her hand again.

"Have you figured it out?" Lu Wen asked.

"Um."

Xia Chuluo nodded lightly, and then pressed the two numbers 1 and 8.

The whole hall suddenly became audible.

Many bionics moved forward slowly, blocking the humans behind. If it exploded soon, they could resist some metal fragments.

All eyes were on the password box.

Xia Chuluo quickly pressed four numbers.

Just heard a "pop".

The box was opened.

"call……"

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The moment Xia Chuluo pressed the button, they were actually ready to face the shock wave of the explosion.

Even Lu Wen's body moved a lot closer to Xia Chuluo's side. He was highly focused, catching any sound, and prepared to pull Xia Chuluo behind him at that moment.

But nothing happened.

safe and sound.

"Miss Xia, don't do this again, I feel like my heart can't take it." Fatty Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with lingering fear.

"Brother Jiang, your heart is not feeling well... It may be that there is too much fat accumulated in the blood vessels of the heart, the heart is overloaded, or it may be coronary arteriosclerosis caused by high blood lipids. If nothing happens, you will die young. " Lu Yang kindly reminded.

Fatty Jiang: "..."

He is too lazy to argue with Lu Yang now, and focuses all his attention on that box.

Not just him.

Everyone present wanted to know what was in the box.

In fact, many people were curious about the meaning of those six numbers that Xia Chuluo pressed.

Before everyone could ask, Xia Chuluo stepped forward and said: "My father told me before that when I was eighteen, he would take me to the central city to watch the fireworks."

Everyone was stunned.

In Xia Zheng's original plan, when Xia Chu Luo became an adult, it was time to blast the floating city.

With the fall of a futuristic city.

It must have been the biggest fireworks in the world.

The earth-shattering roar will become a page of history, and the latecomers will be amazed and fascinated.

"The first two numbers are 18, the middle two numbers are the longitude of the floating city, and the last two numbers are the latitude of the floating city. As for the contents of the box, I think you all understand."

Saying that, Xia Chuluo opened the suitcase.

It's a red button.

Next to the button is a manual.

Lu Wen was sitting next to Xia Chuluo, so he could see clearly.

[The weapon position is ready, under the liquid fuel reactor in that city]

[Need someone who is not afraid of death, sneak into that city, and press the button at the same time]

The note that Xia Tian is leaving is very clear.

The missile warheads with mass destruction in the extreme north have already been taken to the floating city, and they are buried under the liquid fuel reactor of the floating city.

How he got it up is unknown.

It's also not clear why he got a double button... perhaps worried about changes in the future?

Lu Wen thought about it, and felt that Xia Tian might be worried that Eden would get away with cracking the code one day in the future, and out of anger and opposition, he would blow up the floating city... In case the floating city has changed for the better by this time Woolen cloth?

Bilateral buttons can solve this problem.

After all, it is very difficult for the people of Eden to enter the Floating Void City, not to mention the very secret liquid fuel reactor in the Floating Void City.

Constantine also saw the content of the note, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia doesn't trust us, Eden, make a double button..."

The old man hesitated to speak, as if he was thinking about whether to say the following words.

"In this case, if we want to bring down that city, don't we need to have an internal agent in it? And it must be a high-status internal agent." The team member said.

"Tell Lu Yang to go back, Floating Void City will definitely accept him..." Fatty Jiang patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, "Hurry up and learn about liquid fuel, kid."

"Brother Jiang, you can do it too." Lu Yang argued.

"..."

The people behind you talk to each other.

Discussing how to get the floating city down.

Xia Chuluo is very peaceful here.

In addition to the buttons and instructions, there is also a letter in the box.

A letter left alone for her.

She took it apart slowly.

There are only a few short sentences on the yellowed paper.

"Little Luo, if you read this letter, then I should be dead, probably with your mother Xiao Luo."

"Sorry for letting you grow up alone."

"This fireworks can be regarded as a small gift from me to you."

"I'm also sorry, I haven't been with you seriously since you were born."

Xia Chuluo told Lu Wen a long time ago that feelings will affect people's ability to judge.

She also quoted a line from "Rick and Morty" at the time, saying that people's so-called feelings are nothing but chemical reactions that allow offspring to reproduce.

The girl has never revealed her relationship problems.

Even his face has always been indifferent, like ice that has been frozen for countless years.

The man who wrote this letter is the same as his daughter.

Not very good at expressing emotion.

Human emotions are too complicated, so he didn't want to touch them... until he met Xia Chuluo's mother.

on yellowed paper.

Those lines of plain handwriting looked crooked.

All his emotions are hidden in his heart.

Hidden in a deep place.

It's really hard to write it out now.

I don’t know how long it took me to hold back the lines I see now...

And that last sentence.

"Happy birthday."

...

Good night, fellow readers!
