Spy Family

Lu Linbei stopped the car and turned to look at Dong Tianchai sitting in the back seat.

Dong Tianchai was also looking at him.

Five seconds later, the two said in unison: "What should we do?"

Dong Tianchai said: "It's just a few robots. With your ability, you can knock them down in just one second."

"I have decided not to enter the network anymore. If it is a separate robot, I can try it. There are seven robots now, and there may be more later. They must be connected through the network. I don't want to take risks."

"That's troublesome. If you don't want to take risks, we can only turn around and escape. If it's too late, if they have long-range weapons, we will be dead."

"You can deal with them."

"Me? That's not possible. I don't have what you have." Dong Tianchai shook his head.

"Use your microcomputer, there..."

"There is a program you left!" Dong Tianchai immediately took out the microcomputer and started operating it quickly. Because he was nervous, he was a little confused and muttered: "I hope my network and theirs are interconnected. Otherwise, it will be really troublesome...here, here, none of them are right. Change to another network and have a password. It doesn't matter. You can bypass the agreement..."

Lu Linbei stopped the car and looked at the seven robots that were gradually approaching.

Their appearance is exactly the same, almost three meters high, with a square-like body occupying half of the height, two thick and curved legs, and a walking posture like an overfed duck.

Lu Linbei couldn't see the robot's arms. They were probably huddled inside the body at the moment and were not exposed.

Chen Manchi also kept staring at the robots and said doubtfully: "They have no heads."

"Robots don't need brains."

"Then...what do they use to see the road?"

Lu Linbei looked up high and said, "Look carefully above them. There is a drone guiding them."

"Seven robots, sharing a drone as an eye?"

Lu Linbei said with a smile: "If there are ten times more robots, one drone will be enough, and it can monitor multiple directions at the same time and guide each robot individually, so it is not only an eye, but also a brain."

"The difference between robots and humans is really big. Are they designed for combat?"

"Tall robots like this are usually used for industrial or commercial purposes. Combat robots have a relatively flat shape, which is good for concealment."

Chen nodded slowly, a little nervously, "I think they... are wrong, that 'head' seems to have discovered us."

She was right. The seven robots were originally lined up in a row. At this time, one of them walked out of the queue and stood on the roadside. It stretched out a slender arm from each side of its body, and then posed as if it was about to throw the robot in its hand. thing.

"It's going to drop a bomb!" Lu Linbei also became nervous. Although it was not a dedicated combat robot, it was easy to accurately throw an explosive bomb. "Get out of the car."

Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi opened the car doors next to them respectively and were about to move out when excited shouts came from behind them.

"Okay!" Dong Tianchai grabbed the microcomputer and shook it hard twice, as if he wanted to kiss it. Then he looked at the couple in the front row and asked, "You two want to leave?"

Lu Linbei pointed at the robot in the distance and found that it still kept throwing objects, but nothing flew out. The other six robots walking in front of it also stopped at this time, like a row of weird shapes. Pillar.

"Dr. Dong succeeded?"

"Successful. Fortunately, the confidentiality of their private network is average. If it were more complicated, it might take me several hours to crack it, and I probably won't be able to make it in time."

"It would be too late to wait a few seconds." Lu Linbei motioned to his wife to close the car door, restart the car, and drive in the direction of the robot.

Coming closer, the robot seemed taller and bulkier.

Lu Linbei parked the car, and the three of them got out of the car to check the situation. Chen Manchi found the fallen drone. He poked it a few times with the toe of his shoe, then turned to his husband and asked, "Is it still dangerous?"

"If the chip is destroyed, it will crash." Lu Linbei was climbing on a robot, trying to enter the huge fuselage.

Chen slowly picked up the thirty-centimetre-long small drone carefully and took a look at those "headless" robots. He couldn't understand how this little thing could guide those big guys and make every decision. .

Lu Linbei forcefully opened the small door and entered the robot. The space inside was quite large and there were a lot of things stacked up. It seemed that it had a transportation function.

Lu Linbei picked out a few items that he might use, threw them on the ground, and then jumped out.

Dong Tianchai also found some equipment. Instead of climbing up and down, he used a microcomputer to control the robot to squat down and automatically open the small door.

"They are transporting arms." Dong Tianchai was surprised, "And there are quite a few, enough to equip a battalion. What did you find?"

Lu Linbei picked out two pistols from the goods. One fired ordinary bullets, and the other directly used electricity as an attack method. Each gun was equipped with a backup power box.

This is a military-standard gun. Its range and power are much greater than ordinary guns, and it requires hundreds of times more power.

In addition, Lu Linbei selected all network equipment, including signal amplifiers, searchers, installation devices, encryption and decryption machines, etc. There were seven pieces in total, one of which was a brand-new drone that had not yet been used.

The characteristic of military equipment is that it does not require multi-function, but requires stability and durability, and can survive in the harshest environments, so the equipment is relatively diverse.

Dong Tianchai pointed to the thing he chose, "This is a time of war. The more powerful the weapon, the safer it will be."

That pile of things are all medium and heavy weapons: there are high-explosive warheads and launchers, one of which can blow a vehicle to pieces; there are suppression guns, the bullets fired are spread like a net, and no living person can get through; there are snipers The gun has an electric device in the warhead, which can slightly change the trajectory of the bullet and shoot more accurately; there is a self-propelled mine, which is designed to drill under the vehicle chassis...

The car Lu Linbei drove couldn't even fit half of it in.

"Is your country house a fortress?" Lu Linbei asked.

"Without powerful weapons, how can we protect ourselves? This team of robots must be remotely controlled, and the 'player' behind the scenes is likely to seek revenge on us." Dong Tianchai said seriously, looking around, "I I should take away one...two robots and put them to my use."

"Dr. Dong obviously has the most powerful weapons, but he still picks up these rubbish?"

"Where did I get the weapon? And it's not garbage."

"The microcomputer and the programs inside it are the most powerful weapons. No matter how many robots the other party sends, they will be paralyzed instantly, just like them."

Dong Tianchai was stunned for a while, "Microcomputers can indeed be used as weapons, but the enemy needs to be discovered first and an available network is needed..."

Lu Linbei carried the network equipment to the car, "Everything Dr. Dong needs is here. The drone searches for the actual target, the amplifier can find the running chip, and the erection device can create a small network. As long as the enemy's network Being compatible with it, Dr. Dong’s microcomputer can be effective.”

Dong Tianchai was stunned for a while, then looked at the weapons he picked out, they were indeed a bit rubbish, so he got on the car silently, except for occasionally giving directions, he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was hit by this mistake.

Chen Manchi held back his laughter and peeked at Dong Tianchai through the rearview mirror from time to time.

Dong Tianchai's hut is located on the edge of a Guangye Farm. It is worthy of the name "hut" and looks like the residence of a cartoon character. It has a steep spire and the exterior wall is rich in color and seems to be gushing out from the surrounding bushes. Escape in the middle.

Chen Manchi praised it sincerely: "What a lovely house."

There are several huts nearby, all owned by residents of Paradise City, with different styles. No one will come this season, so it is very quiet.

Lu Linbei has always felt close to Guangye Farm. After getting off the car, he first looked at the sea of ​​power generation panels and said to his wife: "It's not as big as our farm."

Chen slowly smiled and said, "Well, the Mei family farm is the largest."

"It's not the biggest. It ranks among the top ten among the eight planets. It used to be seventh. After the appearance of Jiazi Star, it may fall back a few places." Lu Linbei explained seriously.

Chen Manchi smiled and said nothing, helped to move the items from the car, and then waited with Lu Linbei for the owner to open the door.

Dong Tianchai became increasingly unwelcoming and sat motionless in the car, as if waiting for the guests to take him out.

Lu Linbei coughed twice, "Dr. Dong, we're here. Is this your cabin?"

"Ah? It's my hut, left by my parents. When I was a child, I often..." Dong Tianchai seemed to be sad, shut up in the middle of the sentence, looked up at the two people, his face was full of frustration, "I don't I am no longer my old self.”

"None of us are the same as we used to be. We are growing up and getting older every moment." Lu Linbei comforted, "The current self is always better than the past and future self, because it is alive."

Dong Tianchai shook his head and disagreed with Lu Linbei's statement, "I am a scientist who studies human-machine engineering. Computers are just my tools and have never been my main business."

"Everyone knows that Dr. Dong is second to none in the field of ergonomics."

"I do not support war, or any form of war. Several planets invited me to do research, but I rejected them all because they were related to the military."

"Yeah." Lu Linbei realized that he had misunderstood and did not correspond to what Dong Tianchai said.

"But now I have become the inventor of weapons, and my reputation has been ruined." Dong Tianchai held up his microcomputer as if looking at a bomb.

Lu Linbei had a bad premonition, hurriedly put down the things in his hands, and grabbed the microcomputer, "It was not Dr. Dong's original intention to invent weapons, and this weapon is used to save people, not kill people."

"Can't you kill people?"

"This is a cyber weapon. It is only effective against robots and has no effect on the physical body of living people." Lu Linbei added a limitation, because cyber weapons can have an effect on fused humans.

Dong Tianchai cheered up a little, "Yes, although it is a weapon, it is not a murder weapon, it is a 'murderous weapon'."

"It just stops the machines, it doesn't 'kill' them."

Dong Tianchai nodded repeatedly, then glanced at his microcomputer, "Even so...if you use it, ask me if you don't understand anything, but don't give it to me again, unless..."

"Unless the war is over and it doesn't need to fight anymore, it's like decommissioning and returning to civilian status."

Dong Tianchai finally smiled and got out of the driveway: "Come and visit my cabin."

Chen Manchi couldn't help but said: "Dr. Dong was also interested in robot weapons just now. He found a lot of them."

"That's different. Using weapons and inventing weapons are two different concepts. The former has no problem as long as it is used for self-protection. The latter, no matter what the purpose is..." Dong Tianchai sighed, still unable to change from "inventing weapons" to "inventing weapons". "Completely freed from the guilt.

Chen Manchi was about to laugh when he suddenly received a voice message. He held a few devices in one hand and took out earphones with the other hand and put them in his ears. "It's a message from a stranger...'When you look up at the sky, you will "Realize your own insignificance.' What does this mean? Who sent it? Is it a prank?"

Lu Linbei looked up at the sky, "It should be from Ye Zi, reminding us that we are about to be attacked by drones."
