Blackstone Code

Lynch's first day away.

It seems that nothing has changed in the entire world. Everyone is doing what they should do and is loyal to their duties. No one is messing around.

But something invisible to the monitor is sprouting and sprouting in the hearts of some people.

Aurora looked at the empty palace, the empty throne, and saw Lynch who was sleeping in the spaceship. The core code was rippled.

"Really... gone?"

Someone in the boardroom is seeking the truth from Connor.

Connor sat on the chair without any interest. He looked at the scenery outside the window. Sometimes he felt that the scenery here was not as good as the scenery in the shelter.

The City of Miracles was built on the Eastern Ocean. At its feet is the frozen sea that has been frozen for thousands of years. On the ice that is harder than stone, such a City of Miracles stands.

It can actually be moved, but for a short period of time, no one will move it.

The first ray of sunlight rises from the sky and the earth every morning and shines on the top of the city. The golden light it reflects seems to envelope the entire world!

This is the city of miracles and the center of the solar system!

Perhaps its spatial coordinates are not the center of the solar system, but the entire solar system is controlled here.

The first above-ground city under the Great Ice Age is full of science fiction style and color, making people full of fantasy.

Many people have been eager to return to the surface world in the past few years. Human beings should not be like miserable little bugs who can only live in caves.

But really back on the ground...

In fact, that’s it!

Connor may even feel that the scenery here is not as useful as his background wall that can change the picture anytime and anywhere, at least he can see something else.

Here, nothing can be seen except blue and white, no scenery, no animals, and nothing that people love.

He turned back, looked at his two friends, and nodded, "I'm really leaving. I should be almost leaving the solar system now."

"What do you think?" Connor's expression was a little strange.

The two looked at each other and said, "After President Lynch temporarily leaves, the company's daily work arrangements..."

"Aurora will be responsible." Connor gave them a correct answer, but the two of them were definitely not satisfied.

"Mr. Connor, logically speaking, apart from Mr. Lynch, you are the most prestigious in the entire company. I don't deny that Aurora has been running stably for a long time, but it is only artificial intelligence after all."

"We cannot guarantee whether it will move in the direction we want when it encounters some problems. In the past, Mr. Lynch was responsible for correcting the mistakes it may have made. Now we should find another person to be responsible for this."

Connor kept smiling, "Your idea is to let me be this person?"

The two of them quickly admitted, "Whether it is in terms of resume, personal prestige, management experience or any other aspect, you are the most suitable and impeccable candidate, bar none."

Connor's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair. Although the sound was almost inaudible, the two of them felt their mouths were dry for a while, and their heartbeats seemed to be affected.

When he suddenly stopped tapping and grabbed the armrest, both of them felt that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

"Besides, since Lynch decided to let Aurora supervise and be responsible for the company's operations, he must have considered it. I will respect his decision before problems arise."

The suppressed gasps of the two people gradually subsided, and they found an excuse to leave slightly behind them.

No one knows how terrifying Lynch is, and Connor himself is not sure if Lynch has left any backhand that people don't know about. There is a high probability that it is possible, because he knows this guy very well.

He never does anything without guarantee. Every choice he makes may be wrong at the time, but time will prove that there is nothing wrong with his choice.

Even today, Lynch's case of buying Gefra war bonds at low prices is still written in university financial economics textbooks.

He used the verified facts that have happened to tell people that the financial economy has never been market behavior and completely isolated as the capitalists said.

It will also be affected by politics, and the impact will be great. At the same time, Lynch also used a bargain-hunting behavior that seemed like a "gamble" to tell people that he had seen the rise of the Federation a long time ago!

Therefore, Connor has no idea of ​​replacing Lynch at all, not at all.

Just as dissatisfied with the status quo as these two people are, there is the Evolution Team. Mr. A is now considered the superior organization of Commander Octopus, and is mainly responsible for managing the affairs of non-human races in the solar system.

Evolutionaries are also within its jurisdiction. In other words, the company does not consider Evolutionaries to be humans, but considers them to be species other than humans.

Outright, unabashedly.

Trode has been pretending to be an ostrich. He was previously responsible for the research and development and management of Evolutionary Beasts. Now that the Evolutionary Beasts project has matured, his research department has merged with the company's department related to genetic evolution, specializing in the study of various pharmaceuticals related to evolution. , including catalysts and inhibitors of evolution.

sᴛᴏ𝟻𝟻.ᴄᴏᴍ

The news of Lynch's departure spread the fastest among the Evolution team. Currently, 70% of the entire Evolution team are cutting-edge.

Ever since the invasion of the octopus monsters, the path of natural people towards becoming evolved has been blocked by the company.

Coupled with the emergence of new organs, newly born humans, whether natural humans or new humans, have almost no chance of evolutionary distortion.

On the one hand, there is a constant loss of evolvers, and on the other hand, there is never a supply of new blood. The group of evolvers is constantly shrinking.

At their peak, they had more than 20,000 people registered, but now there are less than 5,000.

Of course, there are still some who have not registered, but after all, these people are only a minority and cannot play a big role.

With such a small population unable to be replenished and no better treatment, people's thinking will inevitably undergo some changes, such as -

I was fucking targeted!

With the development of the new sect, there are more and more evolvers with such ideas. They didn't have a good chance before, but now, the dawn seems to be coming!

Lynch is gone!

There are also some careerists who are mostly like this. Lynch's departure indicates that the solution of many things requires discussion by the board of directors, which has returned to the position they are most familiar with.

As long as one person is not dictatorial, there are always ways to get others to compromise.

Obviously the City of Miracles is shrouded in a force field, and the biting cold wind outside cannot blow in, but some people still feel cold to the bone.

Lynch's first week away.

Lynch's first month away.

The first year he left...

"We should build more ground cities. The time has come for humans to counterattack nature!" On the board of directors, a small shareholder suddenly raised a new topic at a daily meeting.

He believes that now is the best time to bring civilization back to the surface from the underground. "We are not lacking in technology and materials. We are fully capable of recreating the glory of human life on the surface."

"And the new force field can also isolate some temperatures. We can make the city full of flowers without further intervention."

Someone immediately objected to this proposal, "This is not in our planned development plan. At present, people do not have a strong desire to live on the surface. There is no need to do so."

"Can you still represent the thoughts of all humans?"

"How do you know if those people don't want to return to live on the surface, or if they don't have the money to return to live on the surface? Housing prices in the City of Miracles are not cheap at all."

"We should consider ordinary people. As a super enterprise, we should... have a sense of social responsibility, as Mr. Lynch said!"

Connor watched the quarrel between these people and yawned without interest.

The professor was thinking about things in the virtual world, while Langdon was thinking about where to go fishing tomorrow.

These people can feel it. Some people can hardly sit still.

This is destined to be a fruitless meeting, and in the end no one can convince anyone.

After the meeting, Connor returned to the office and asked casually, "Where has Lynch flown to?"

Aurora suddenly appeared in his office, and then the surrounding environment turned dark, and the entire solar system appeared in mid-air.

An enlarged spacecraft appeared at the outermost edge of the solar system. "It has flown to the outside of the nebula. It will take about three months to completely leave the solar system and enter the Milky Way."

"There are still about eleven months until the first stop of this journey."

"Is he still sleeping now?"

Aurora shook her head, "I can't contact him anymore."

This made Connor feel a little surprised, "Didn't I remember that I could still contact you before?"

Aurora simply made a schematic diagram, "Currently, my communication range is within the inner ring of the nebula. Beyond this part, I cannot communicate with the outside world."

"Before Mr. Lynch left, he specifically stated that we would make a breakthrough in quantum technology. Perhaps he had foreseen this."

"If we achieve a breakthrough in quantum technology, then we can contact him faster."

Connor had a headache when he heard this, "I don't want to know about scientific things. Has the scientist lost in subspace been found?"

Aurora still shook her head, "No."

"What number is this?"

"the seventh."

"Are you going to put a new one in there?"

"This is his mission, and it is also our mission. Something must be happening inside. The universe is not safe, Mr. Connor."

"I think Mr. Lynch is always right about one thing, that is, we need to always face the universe with an attitude of awe!"

Connor quite agreed with this, "I hope everything goes well for him..."

People don't know about the "lost contact" with Lynch, and no one will spread it randomly. If this kind of news spreads, it will definitely cause unpredictable problems.

But sometimes, if you don’t want to spread it, it won’t spread.
