Spy Family

For Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou, this may be the longest period of their lives. Sitting in the shuttle, they did not dare to relax or act arbitrarily. They had not destroyed the small robot before, and they did not know whether it was right or wrong. wrong……

Neither of them spoke, one was staring at the screen and the other was staring at the electronic screen, as if the most exciting movie was being played inside, but in fact they were all empty.

Lu Linbei entered a wonderful world, which was both real and illusory. It was obviously destroyed, but everything was lifelike.

He actually followed the network line to the Longitude and Latitude Space City and stood at the door of the entry and exit hall on the lower level.

He knew that this was a virtual world, but everything he saw, from living people to dead objects, was so lifelike that he couldn't distinguish reality from reality for less than ten seconds.

There was no alien spacecraft docked, and there was almost no one in the hall. It was empty, but the streets outside were crowded with humans. As virtual characters, they could do anything in the sky or on the earth, but they honestly chose to walk or take a car, taking their time. to the destination.

Lu Linbei tried to fly and found that it was not that everyone did not want to use super powers, but that they were restrained. The physical rules of the real world were completely followed here.

This is a bit strange setting. Most people enter the virtual world in order to get rid of the constraints of gravity on the ground, but they cannot get any satisfaction here.

"The gravity of the Longitude and Latitude is artificially created." A voice came from behind, "It simulates the gravity of the earth because it has been engraved in human genes. We feel most comfortable in this gravitational environment."

Lu Linbei and Wu Xiushi had never met each other. The person in front of him was exactly the same as in his memory, as if he was still on Jiazi Star.

"Please come in." Wu Xiushi smiled.

"You live here?" Lu Linbei looked towards the empty hall.

"I work here as a janitor. It's a very easy job."

The two of them entered the hall. There was a simple long table lying horizontally not far from the door, and an equally simple chair behind the table.

"Sit down, you are a guest." Wu Xiushi smiled.

Lu Linbei shook his head, "I have been sitting for almost ten hours, I would rather stand for a while."

"It's up to you." Wu Xiushi walked around the table and sat down, placing her arms on the table and crossing her fingers, like an old janitor who was about to ask the guest about their visit.

"Do you like this job?" Lu Linbei walked slowly around the open space in front of the table, looking left and right, as if it was his first time here.

"It's okay. I've been a nuclear physicist for half my life, and suddenly I felt a little tired, so I looked for a simpler job. The advantage of this job is that I don't have to think about it, so it doesn't matter whether I like it or not. I often I sit here all day long, telling myself from time to time that this is a waste of time, but this thought makes me even less want to lift my butt, because... I just want to waste time."

"If time could be exchanged for money, you would be a billionaire now."

"Haha, that's true. I have a lot of time, so I'm not afraid of wasting it. This is one of our advantages. The outside world seems to call us 'programmers'. Is that true?"

"Yes."

"I don't like this term. It can easily cause misunderstanding. Software engineers who write programs are also called 'programmers'. I prefer the term 'spiritual people'. Although this is also an ancient term, it has disappeared for a long time. We don't It’s considered occupied.”

"I've never heard anyone call you 'spirits'."

"To be promoted."

Lu Linbei didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and walked to the table, "You called me here. What do you want to say?"

"I called you in? You are obviously an intruder, but don't worry, the Longitude and I welcome your arrival. I even believe that this is an arrangement from somewhere."

"The former nuclear physicist and today's programmer actually believe this?"

"Gods? No, no, I don't believe in gods, ghosts, or any supernatural power, but I believe in probability. When an event with a very small probability occurs, it looks like the work of ghosts and gods, which is the so-called ' An arrangement somewhere."

"You confused me."

"To put it simply, I was looking forward to getting in touch with King Zhai, but I couldn't find a way, and then you showed up."

"Do you want to contact the official Zhai Wangxing?"

"Yes, contact someone who can make the decision and end this war."

"Is anyone blocking contact between the two parties?"

"The problem is more complicated than this. We have many advantages. One of them is that we can hide it. The physical space required for this new city is just a small chip, plus power supply and other auxiliary facilities. It is the same size as the most ordinary Similar to a microcomputer, in order for it to survive in space, a robot with a length of 1,039 meters is needed. It has a pair of membrane wings nearly ten meters long each, which are used to generate electricity. When stored in normal times, our energy source The consumption is very small. In a place with sufficient sunlight, one hour of power generation can be enough to use the new city for five to seven days."

"So you dare not show up."

"Yes, we are trapped by this advantage. The location of the new city is too important and at the same time too fragile. Once leaked, it may lead to the demise of all spiritual people, so any plan that needs to show up will be unanimously opposed. I am thinking , how great would it be if someone from King Zhai came to your door? As a result - you showed up." Wu Xiushi's smile showed a bit of innocence, "Tell me, what is the probability of this?"

"I searched for network signals in space, found a line, and got hit by a virus."

"Well, that's when I discovered you. That's the line that connects the Meridian and the major fleets. It's forbidden to use it when there's nothing important. So as soon as you triggered it, we noticed it. In this way, the probability is not too high. Low."

"It's also possible that I can join your fleet instead of the Latitude and Longitude."

"That would be a tragedy. The fleet is in a state of high tension. When it discovers your arrival, it will immediately counterattack. It will inevitably lead to life and death."

"Sounds better than being trapped here." Lu Linbei has tried many times, but he can neither leave the Longitude nor go deep into the core code. Those virtual physical rules are so powerful that he can't even run faster. Some, unable to suppress the feeling of hunger and thirst.

"Haha, I'm sorry. Before I explain the matter clearly, I have to keep you. I admire your ability very much. The moment I let you out, it may only take a few milliseconds for you to find out the longitude and latitude. The exact location of the ship - on a physical level, we are vulnerable."

"Not long ago, you just wiped out a Starfleet dispatch team. It seems that we are the ones who are 'vulnerable'."

"It was an opportunistic victory. We only gained a temporary advantage in tactics, and the strategic situation has not changed. We are still floating in space, with nowhere to take root, and can still be wiped out in one fell swoop. Unlike planets like King Zhai, we have almost no Strategic space, even if we win every battle, may be wiped out by a small mistake or uncontrollable accidental factors. We need reconciliation."

"You started a war, you killed Zhai Wangxing's soldiers, but you claimed that you needed reconciliation?"

"The Meridian is too fragile. Without one or two victories as a foreshadowing, reconciliation is impossible. This is an obvious fact. We must win to qualify for reconciliation and add a little more chips to the negotiation table. Now. The problem is that we hope for reconciliation, and Zhai Wangxing’s top management probably also hopes for reconciliation, but there is an information barrier between the two parties: Zhai Wangxing, because of its strength, will never be the first to propose reconciliation; because Zhai Wangxing is weak, it does not dare to send any information.”

"You can send a robot, keep it tight-lipped, delete all sensitive information, and negotiate on your behalf."

"This is indeed our final plan. If you don't show up, we will send a robot to send a message first, and then go to King Zhai for formal negotiations. But we judge that before that, at least three victories are needed before it is possible to win. King Zhai accepted the request for peace talks, and so far, we have achieved two, which means that we must achieve greater victory in the next battle, which means that we have to eliminate the entire interstellar fleet."

In its original position, the Jingwei destroyed three warships from King Zhai and King Xing. After crossing interstellar space, it surrounded and annihilated a dispatch team, but it still did not gain complete confidence.

Lu Linbei didn't say anything, but turned around and looked into the depths of the hall. There had been riots "here", and he had a deep memory of it. Looking now, there seemed to be a ghost-like figure standing under the pillar, with a gloomy look on his face. Waiting for a secret sign that never comes.

Wu Xiushi paused for a moment and continued to Lu Linbei's back: "Victory can certainly promote reconciliation, but it will also plant deeper hatred. We don't want the Meridian to live in vigilance and fear in the future, so we can give up the third party." Victory for the first or fourth time, reaching a settlement in advance. You can understand why I am happy to see you break in, right?"

"I'm going to disappoint you. My status is too low and I'm even less qualified to negotiate than the Longitude and Latitude. And I won't hide it from you. I didn't leave a good impression on the top people. Asking me to deliver a message for you will probably be counterproductive." ."

"You once invaded the chairman's office, I know." Wu Xiushi nodded with a smile, as if this was just a small prank by a favored child, harmless and a little cute, "I believe that personal grudges will not affect the chairman's view of the war. Judgment of direction. I will also give you a 'gift' to make you more important on the side of King Zhai: you can leave later - of course, the Longitude and Latitude will have to move as a whole, so you don't have to bother to find us Current position - From the moment you leave, in about seven hours and twelve minutes, we will launch an attack within the fleet. If your reminder is taken seriously, and if King Zhai is willing to negotiate, please withdraw your fleet. Space station, the scheduled attack will be automatically cancelled."

"Did you get Guihai's permission to negotiate peace with Zhai Wangxing?" Lu Linbei turned around and asked.

Wu Xiushi's face became solemn, "Guihai is the public enemy of mankind. After reaching reconciliation, I am very willing to cooperate with all major planets to jointly deal with the real threats to mankind."
