Spy Family

The result of Zhu Canchen's second attempt was still not satisfactory. He changed the classification by industry to news classification, politics, economy, military, society... to improve efficiency and reduce errors, but that was all.

Zhu Canchen is an optical engineer. Lu Linbei hopes to see him show his ability to conduct comprehensive analysis, but he doesn't want to say it explicitly because that may encourage the other party to make up nonsense.

Recruiting people has always been a difficult task. Lu Linbei did not intend to be as casual as Ye Zi, nor did he expect to find a suitable candidate in the first recruitment. He also had an alternative target, and that person was an investigator. Although he is not from a farm, he has received strict training and is very professional. The only "problem" is that he sees too clearly. Whether it is performing tasks or daily words and deeds, he clearly sees his position and does not compete for it. , willing to be an ordinary investigator without any ambition.

Without ambition, there will naturally be no initiative.

Lu Linbei's own search has achieved some success. First Light's financial department has been busy recently. It has to pay huge amounts of points every day, most of which are transferred to affiliated companies or upstream and downstream companies. The notes are usually related to logistics, so a At first, he did not receive any attention from Lu Linbei.

Logistics is equivalent to the blood vessel of an enterprise, and it is especially important for large companies like First Light. Infinite Light has lost most of its mines and business, so its requirements for logistics are not high.

However, after spending a lot of money, the logistics did not improve significantly. Instead of reducing complaints from various departments, there were more complaints. It was because of these complaints that Lu Linbei became interested in expenditure records.

It is not easy to find information from a bunch of numbers. All Lu Linbei has achieved is that there is something wrong. As for what the problem is, he still hasn't found anything.

He did not forget that his mission was to find Chen Manchi. Tonight, he planned to go further and head to the space station again.

After much deliberation, if I want to travel from King Zhai to King Zhao via the Internet, the space station is still an indispensable part, and I should check it carefully.

The ground-to-air spaceship of Uranus has not been repaired yet, but it has been discovered that there is a network signal in the space station, so some drones and micro-satellites are sent to act as relay stations, and they are working hard to establish a stable connection. At this time, if you want to send a program to enter the space station server, you must will be discovered.

Lu Linbei thought of a trick. He first published information online under a false identity, claiming that the space station still had some functions, especially network functions, which aroused the interest of some people, but the number was not large. Lu Linbei built more Fake identity, search for all networks, try to connect to the space station.

The real invaders are hidden among the large army.

Lu Linbei's move was successful. The program he sent successfully sneaked into the space station and stayed there for about three minutes, which was enough for it to conduct an in-depth search.

The result was nothing. There was no abnormality in the records of the space station. Since the interstellar network was interrupted, not even one byte of information had been received from aliens.

Lu Linbei once again had deep doubts: Has Chen Manchi really been to Zhao Wangxing? Call it true, she has never contacted him, and even after a sudden glance, she refuses to show up again; call it false, Guan Zhuqian is extremely serious and even gives up other tasks at hand for this.

Lu Linbei couldn't think of an answer, so he could only put this matter aside and write a simple report on the overall situation of the space station, ready to be submitted to Mei Wangzhen tomorrow.

After everything was done, it was almost eleven o'clock, which was later than usual. He left the equipment room and went to find Zhu Canchen. He had already made a decision in his heart to persuade this job applicant to leave in a tactful way. He couldn't just because of one person. Relax your standards if you really need work.

Zhu Canchen sat there blankly, not as busy as he was the previous two nights, and it seemed that he had given up hope in this job.

"You can get off work." Lu Linbei said, planning to express his attitude outside the company.

"Mr. Lu, look at this." Zhu Canchen pointed to the monitor.

The holographic display has an anti-peeping function. From the back, it is just a light yellow screen. Zhu Canchen made a few operations on the microcomputer and turned the display direction 180 degrees to face Lu Linbei.

Lu Linbei didn't remember that he had ever sent any sensitive information. To show his courtesy, he walked closer and took a look.

It was a maintenance plan for Guangye Farm.

The Guangye Farm operates automatically, but requires regular maintenance. Otherwise, it will follow the original design. After the accumulated power reaches a certain level, it will change the operating mode, produce more power generation panels and related facilities, and expand to nearby areas until Swallow the land clean, or encounter an accident and completely collapse.

The main job of Yuanfa Farm, where Lu Linbei once belonged, was to maintain light industry facilities. There were originally several farms around it, and they slowly merged into one. Workers replaced the low-efficiency power generation panels automatically produced by the farm one by one, and replaced them with high-efficiency power generation panels. Efficiency substitutes feed excess power into batteries and transport it away as commodities, ensuring that farm power accumulation does not reach a critical point.

Some farms still maintain automatic operation. They are relatively small in scale and have room for expansion around them. There is no need for large-scale transformation. However, nature is best at creating accidents, and farms still need human intervention and protection.

Lu Linbei grew up on a farm and was accustomed to maintenance plans. He found hundreds of similar documents on First Light's intranet and didn't pay any attention to them. He forwarded them all to Zhu Canchen. After looking at them a few more times, he still found nothing. See where there is something unusual.

The plan kept changing, and Lu Linbei stood up, "What did you see about First Light's farm maintenance plan?"

Zhu Canchen operated the microcomputer again, changed the content, and explained at the same time: "I entered the locations of these farms into the map and got this."

A three-dimensional image of King Zhao appeared on the monitor, slowly rotating, with a flashing red dot representing the farm that was about to undergo repairs.

There are hundreds of red dots, scattered all over the habitable areas of King Zhao.

Lu Linbei still didn't see anything unusual.

"Delete the irrelevant farms." Zhu Canchen continued to operate, and some of the red dots disappeared, leaving only a line that went exactly around the equator of King Zhao. It was slightly curved and interrupted when it encountered the ocean.

"Yeah." Lu Linbei felt that either the other party was joking, or he was a fool.

Zhu Canchen didn't speak anymore, but concentrated on operating the microcomputer. Another circular line appeared on the periphery of the King Zhao model, like a satellite orbit.

Lu Linbei's heart moved, and he began to understand what the other party meant, "Is this the orbit of the satellite of the famous star?"

"Yes, one circle around King Zhao every day."

Meingwang has many satellites, most of which were destroyed in the war. There are still dozens of satellites left. One of them is the most special, carrying three nuclear missiles.

Lu Linbei looked at it for a while and said, "This doesn't mean anything. You just pick out a few dozen points from hundreds of points to form a line. In this way, you can make any shape."

Zhu Canchen had expected such questions, so he reduced the three-dimensional map to a corner and replaced it with another table, which contained the name, location and budget amount of the farm. "Coincidentally, these dozens of farms spend the most money," he said. , the average amount is more than twice that of other farms.”

In the maintenance report, only the required budget is written, and the specific contents are never mentioned. They are all titled "daily", "regular", etc. Lu Linbei nodded and said: "This is a problem. Suppose that the King of Kings intends to destroy the king." There seems to be no need to set up weapons below the orbit of satellites."

"The distance directly below the orbit is the shortest. If it is an ordinary weapon, such as a missile, the distance requirement may not be very high. If it is a laser, the distance is very important. The height of the satellite is tens of thousands of kilometers. I remember that the major planets used to Sign an agreement that in order to protect space security, the range of any laser is not allowed to exceed the altitude of geostationary satellites."

"There is such an agreement, and the stipulated range is far lower than the orbital height. Even if it is directly below, it cannot hit it."

"Civilian lasers are out of reach, what about military ones? Kingpin secretly develops nuclear weapons. Will Kingpin secretly improve its equipment and increase the range of lasers? The key is that Kingpin will never allow a few nuclear missiles to float in the sky. Right?"

The news that Mingwang has nuclear missiles has been public for some time, and the reactions from all parties are ambiguous. Mingwang strongly denies it, but refuses to accept third-party inspections. Ux's official attitude is ambiguous, but it frequently issues accusations through secretly controlled organizations. …

On the surface, the two sides have not fallen out, but everyone understands that this is a serious problem that must be resolved.

"Laser weapons require a lot of electricity." Lu Linbei said.

“One farm does not store enough electricity, so batteries need to be transported from other farms and transmitting devices must be built. This is the farm’s ‘maintenance plan’!”

Lu Linbei took two steps back, looked at Zhu Canchen, and re-judged him, "Well, this is a conjecture and lacks direct evidence."

"The most direct evidence is probably the destruction of satellites and missiles by lasers. Does this matter have any impact on us?"

"There is no impact at the moment." Lu Linbei stood aside, Zhu Canchen stood up and walked around the desk, silently followed him out of the small office and walked out of the building.

"Should I come again tomorrow?" When he was about to leave, Zhu Canchen finally couldn't help asking. Three days had passed and he still didn't know the results of the "exam."

"Tell me, why did you notice these maintenance plans?"

"Because I am an engineer in Optical Industry. Although my previous work was all related to mining, I also have some knowledge of farms. When I saw the large amount, I thought it was corruption from First Optical Industry, so I took a closer look. This formed that After the line, I knew there was another reason, and I had been thinking about it since last night, and I didn't figure it out until two hours ago."

“That’s what your job will be in the future: Find a problem, think about it, and then figure it out.”

"So I got a job?" Zhu Canchen looked happy.

"Trial for three months. Come report at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and let's discuss the details."

"Yes, tomorrow at nine o'clock. Goodbye, Mr. Lu."

Lu Linbei felt that Zhu Canchen could be used. Next, he had to confirm that this person was not a counter-espionage sent by the enemy. That would be a more complicated job and he would need to seek advice from experienced people.

Lu Linbei looked up at the night sky, knowing in his heart that the nuclear missiles of King Zhai and the laser of King Zhai would have a great impact on King Zhai.
