Spy Family

(Thanks to the Silver League leader for the reward: nocrykyle.)

In the resting cabin of the spaceship, Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi only had time to hug each other. They didn't exchange a few words before they entered the deep sleep box respectively.

Once again coming into contact with the real Chen Manchi, touching her body and long hair, inhaling her fragrance and warmth, and feeling her voice and breath, Lu Linbei was greatly shocked, as if he was hearing that hit song for the first time. As soon as the unfamiliar melody of the song destined to belong to him began, he was so moved that his whole body trembled slightly. He lay in the box unable to fall asleep. He only fell asleep after being injected with the drug for the third time.

During the entire process of deep sleep, Lu Linbei had been in this state. In his dreams, he was always chasing behind Chen Manchi, catching him up and being left behind again...

Opening his eyes, Lu Linbei was filled with longing for his wife, but his body was even more exhausted. He climbed out of the deep sleep box and huddled on the floor. It took him a while to stand up. He didn't want his wife to see him like this. , so I waited for a while and tried to return to normal.

He was really afraid that this was a dream.

Walking into the rest cabin, he saw Chen Manchi chatting animatedly with Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou from a distance, and Lu Linbei finally let go of his hanging heart.

Even with all its shortcomings, the real world is still infinitely nostalgic.

Lu Linbei sat next to Lu Yezhou and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

Chen Manchi and Mei Wangzhen smiled and said nothing. Lu Yezhou said, "We were talking about your confession to Sister Zhen when you were in college."

Lu Linbei's "relief" jumped up, and he picked up the drink bottle on the table with his right hand. He took half a sip and almost spit it out. He said with a blushing face: "Why are we talking about this? Is there nothing else to talk about?" "

Mei Wangzhen stood up, "We are actually talking about how courageous you are, how honest you look, and what you do is often unexpected. Come on, Ye Zi, let's go first."

"Hey, Lao Bei has just come out, why don't we go together? We can't stay here for long, we have to board the ship again later..."

"The couple has something to say. Do you want to stay and listen?"

The blush on Lu Linbei's face has not subsided, "You don't have to leave, we two..." Lu Linbei looked at Chen Manchi with a smile in his eyes, "We don't have anything special to say."

Lu Yezhou also stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Zhen is right, I don't want to be an eyesore. Sister Zhen, if I confess to you now, would it be considered bold?"

"You can try."

Lu Yezhou laughed twice, scratched his head, and said as he walked: "I thought it was quite simple, but when things happened I had to admit that I am still timid, and Lao Bei is the bold one..."

The two of them gradually walked away, and Lu Linbei immediately whispered: "Don't listen to their nonsense, especially Ye Zi, who likes to add more branches and leaves."

Chen Manchi stretched out his arms and put them on the table, motioning for Lu Linbei to bring his hands over, and then held them tightly, "I just like to listen to their nonsense, it is much more interesting than your story."

Lu Linbei smiled bitterly and said, "Are you collecting clues about me?"

"Haha, you are such a thoughtful person, but you are so naive about this kind of thing. If confession can be used as a clue, then I... ahem... I just want to know about your past. There is no need to collect clues. You can't run away. of."

"Wait, have you confessed your love to someone else?"

Chen slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Let's leave too. There are only two of us left in the cabin. Are you still not used to the deep sleep box as before?"

The two held hands and walked out. Lu Linbei said: "Don't change the subject. We are talking about what you have confessed to others."

"I had a boyfriend, you know." Chen Manchi said in a very innocent tone.

"I know, but from what you just said, it seems like it happened more than once."

"That's because you misunderstood."

"No, my ability to understand has always been very strong."

"Well...I won't tell."

"That's not fair. You already knew about me that time, and you knew it in great detail."

"When you have the opportunity to meet my friends, ask them." Chen slowly approached her husband and whispered: "I love you, can such a confession pass the test?"

Lu Linbei didn't have a headache or fatigue at this time. He smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, I passed the test."

Chen Manchi still approached him, "Is it safe to talk here?"

Lu Linbei was taken aback for a moment, then reacted quickly. The smile on his face remained unchanged, as if he was still whispering to his wife, "I didn't notice the electronic monitoring equipment."

Lu Linbei cannot be invisible on the Internet, but this does not hinder his keen sense of electronic devices.

"Well, Third Uncle asked me to tell you something, 'Beware of yourself.'"

"Beware of myself...when did you see Third Uncle?"

"The day before boarding the ship, he bribed...recruited me to be an intelligence agent on King Zhao to deliver information for you."

Lu Linbei was so surprised that he was speechless.

Chen Manchi continued: "Uncle San said this arrangement is for our safety. I believe him. You are in danger, right?"

"The situation is not very good." Lu Linbei could no longer hide it.

"I want to hear the details from you when I get the chance."

"But you work as an intelligence agent for the Military Intelligence Agency?" Lu Linbei still couldn't believe that his third uncle would come up with such a trick, and he couldn't guess his intentions.

"It's a very simple job. My third uncle shouldn't make things difficult for me. We went to Zhao Wangxing in a hurry this time and were extremely poorly prepared. It would be nice to have an extra income."

"Why did Third Uncle do this?"

"For our safety, as well as for himself and King Zhai."

"And he told me to watch out for myself?"

"Yes, the original words are 'beware of himself'."

Lu Linbei became more and more confused, but Chen Manchi felt relaxed, "I don't understand what the third uncle wants to say. Anyway, I have conveyed it to you, so you can continue to guess. Your mind is never idle anyway."

Lu Linbei smiled, really lost in thought, barely looking at the road, being dragged along by his wife.

They had a delicious dinner on the space station, and then met up with Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou. While waiting to reboard, they discussed the war between King Zhai and the Longitude.

They slept on the ship for nearly seven days, but the battle situation did not change much. According to the public news, the Zhai Wangxing fleet was still searching for the programmer of the Latitude in the encirclement. There were several small-scale battles, and Zhai Wangxing won all of them.

As for the real battle situation, no one has received inside information. Even Mei Wangzhen has lost his "magic power". "Everyone has become strict-mouthed and does not know anything about it."

"It's also possible that he really doesn't know." Lu Yezhou was still eating a piece of cake, his mouth full of food, but it didn't affect his speech. "Nowadays, wars are getting weirder and weirder. Not to mention ordinary people, even those who personally participated in the war. It may not be possible to tell who loses and who wins. For example, if we destroy a group of combat robots, but a programmer sneaks into a shuttle during the chaos, follows it back to the fleet, and lurks in the server, in this case, we lose. Still win.”

Lu Linbei said in surprise: "Yi Zi also started to think."

"Haha, this is not my thinking, it is the opinion of an article. The article said that future wars will develop in a more complex direction. In comparison, nuclear weapons are relatively simple methods. The biggest problem facing mankind is 'thinking' arms'."

"What is a thinking weapon?" Lu Linbei heard this term for the first time.

"Ye Zi made it up." Mei Wangzhen said immediately.

Lu Yezhou swallowed the food in his mouth and opened his eyes wide, "I didn't make this up. Besides, can I make up something like this? This is an expert's opinion, to the effect that the human brain can be regarded as a biological computer. , it has been growing and running on its own without external control, but the development of related technologies is very close to the critical point: humans can use the brain as a hardware carrier to program software, similar to computer programming. Once human brain programming becomes a reality, thinking Weapons will be available."

"They are definitely not serious experts. There are too many people who are sensationalizing on the Internet." Mei Wangzhen said disdainfully.

"The expert who wrote this article may not be serious enough in the eyes of others, but for us, it's just the opposite."

"Is he someone we all know?" Lu Linbei asked.

"Yes, especially you, Lao Bei, know him very well."

"It won't be Li Feng who's coming back, right?" Lu Linbei could only think of him.

"That's him." Lu Yezhou smiled and drew a circle in the air with the cake, as if he could use this gesture to summon Li Feng back. "The article he published three days ago attracted ten times more ridicule than approval, but I think his point of view is quite reasonable, and Lao Bei is the proof."

"First, my brain cannot be programmed, at least not like a computer. So far, I don't even know how it is formed and how it operates. Second, my digital brain cannot operate independently and must use some tools. There’s no way I could maneuver it if I didn’t have the electronics around.”

"Li Fenghui also said that we need to use tools, but he believes that tools will become simpler and simpler, and eventually even the most ordinary humans can use them, and human brain programming will be normalized. Human beings invent and make tools to facilitate themselves, so tools are human After the technology matures, humans and tools will always merge in some way, which is an inevitable trend." Lu Yezhou defended Li Fenghui more firmly than a procedural lawyer.

"Why do you want to read his article?" Mei Wangzhen was not interested in these strange talks.

"Because we are Internet friends, his article was automatically pushed to me. He used games as an example at the beginning, so I immediately read it."

Tools are an extension of human beings - Lu Linbei felt that he had heard similar words somewhere, but he was particularly reluctant to recall them now. It was not until Chen Manchi asked Zhao Wangxing that he suddenly remembered that those words came from Zhao Wangxing's scientist Dong Tianchai .

Li Fenghui's reputation is far less than that of Dong Timchai. His article did not stir up any response on the Internet. Most of the responders were colleagues, and most of the voices opposed and ridiculed it.

Chen Manchi liked Li Fenghui's personality very much, but was not interested in the article at all. He asked, "I haven't been to Zhaowangxing for a long time. I heard that it is very chaotic now, right?"

Lu Yezhou's firm support was only momentary. When the topic changed, he also changed, and immediately replied: "Chaos. It must have been five years ago when Sister slowly went to Zhao Wangxing, right? In fact, it was already chaotic at that time, but it was not obvious. These days The year has become more and more chaotic, splitting into at least three hundred forces. Today you sign an agreement with a certain 'leader', but tomorrow you may no longer be able to find anyone, and you will become 'headless'. But Paradise City is okay. The mayor is a powerful figure who refuses the intervention of any force and basically maintains stability, but it is not conducive to our work."

Lu Yezhou had stayed in Zhaowangxing for three years. Once he introduced himself, he talked endlessly. Until the four of them boarded the ship again, he still had more to say, "I will continue to talk when we get to Zhaowangxing. You two can rest assured. Sister Zhen and I have been operating there for many years, which is equivalent to 'The Uncrowned King'..."

Mei Wangzhen couldn't help but raised his hand and slapped Lu Yezhou on the back of the head, "Stop bragging. When we get to Zhao Wangxing, let's think about how to save our lives first."
