The Goddess Shines on America

Exeter, a small city with a population of no more than 100,000 for many years, although it has always played an important role in British history, has never had any too modern enterprises. Here, there are nearly forty schools of all sizes, a football club, churches, monasteries, theaters, and even castles and city halls. There are not many places left for newcomers.

After all, this is a historic city with an extremely long history, dating back to prehistoric and Roman times. In the Middle Ages, the famous William the Conqueror even fought against the enemy here. The Tudor, Stuart Dynasty and even the Victorian era ushered in vigorous development here, so you can see the history of more than a hundred years everywhere. old building. Therefore, even though it is a completely modern era, there are still more simplicity than fashion.

But now, this time-honored harmony tends to be disrupted.

The change does not lie in the city of Exeter. As a small city standing on the plain, the vast residential area in the center remains unchanged. Even on the surface, the industrial and commercial districts at both ends of the city have not changed directly.

The change is located on the outskirts of the city, one kilometer away from Exeter Airport in the depths of the plain.

The new building, which started construction a few months ago, has attracted the attention of the city's residents early on, because its style is really incompatible with this ancient city. It is not Gothic, Romanesque, Teutonic or even any kind of architectural style that imitates the medieval style, and it is not even the ordinary brick and tile buildings that are common in modern cities without fancy. From the beginning, a building that occupies a vast area is definitely a new existence in a metropolis, let alone here?

It is like a bird's nest made of glass. Many middle-aged and elderly people who have nothing to do have driven to the suburbs of the city and have carefully observed it. The long strips of steel bars constitute the exoskeleton frame of the building, and while building the whole building, they also directly act as window frames. Therefore, when the tempered glass windows are installed, people can look directly on the expressway to the distance, and only feel that a shining hollow bird's nest is processed on the green plain. The scene is really unique and interesting.

Furthermore, its identity has made local residents even more curious - Exeter Computer Research and Development Center.

"Tell me, is this some kind of conspiracy?"

On the way home from school in the afternoon, Melinda, with long brown hair, said to her friend, "It's so good, a laboratory was suddenly set up near our city, and it still has such a strange shape!"

"oh."

Walking home with Melinda was a ten-year-old Chinese girl, with a delicate melon-shaped face, she could be seen as a beauty at a glance, and her short hair and neckless hair were also very beautiful.

"Oh?" However, Melinda was very dissatisfied with the girl's concise answer: "It's just an 'oh'? You don't have any other ideas?"

The Chinese girl didn't answer immediately, but looked at a pharmacy they passed by. A fat young man with round eyes just walked out of here, carrying a big bag of medicine in his hand, but the package was opaque, so he couldn't see what it was. .

When the young man walked eastward along the street, the girl calmly said, "It's just a computer research institute, what kind of conspiracy can there be?"

"It's hard to say," Melinda seemed to be deeply influenced by conspiracy theories. She fully developed all the imagination that could be useful as a ten-year-old girl, and said very seriously: "Adults don't often say now that last year ten years old Could the stock market crash in January have something to do with computers?"

The girl obviously felt a headache. She watched the fat young man disappear at the end of the road, and sighed helplessly: "There is such a saying. Last month, the London Stock Exchange also expressed the same opinion, saying that the stock market crash was caused by program trading. In other words, since the 1970s, Wall Street has been using computer programs to calculate stock price changes and trading strategies in real time..."

"Stop, stop!" Melinda quickly stopped her companion's tirade: "God, Ida, are you Chinese people so smart? Benji-Lee just got into Cambridge like a joke, why don't you keep talking about it Something incomprehensible?"

The girl Ada didn't say anything more, just smiled mysteriously.

Then, it was time for Exeter to usher in the night.

The ancient small city stands on the green plain in the southwest corner of Great Britain. Although the roads extending in all directions closely connect it with the outside world, it is undeniable that the nearest city is more than 20 kilometers away. The rural areas are sparsely populated but densely populated, and a large number of villages are scattered along the roads on the plains, all relying on the supplies of the central city to survive.

So when night falls, as a small city surrounded by many countryside, Exeter's late night is lonely. It does not have the bustling night scene of a huge city that never sleeps, and there is not much nightlife for residents to enjoy. When the bell rings for work, most people can only have dinner outside at most, and then almost return home.

But there are still exceptions.

Exeter's motor vehicle management center is on the eastern border of the city, and 300 meters to the east is the circular overpass. A large number of cars are either driving on the ring expressway, or driving to the distance along the way. Therefore, the management center was placed here, and countless cars were parked in the wide parking lot.

At night, around ten o'clock.

A petite figure in a red leather jacket appeared near the management center.

The short-haired girl stood in the corner of a building, carefully observing the parking lot of the management center with binoculars.

The infrared function allowed her to have a bright field of vision, and after observing that there was no security patrol, Ida put down her father's binoculars and trotted to the parking lot.

The girl is taller than her peers, but she is only ten years old after all, so her pace cannot be too large, but she cleverly uses frequency to increase the overall speed. Like a ghost in the middle of the night, she ran into the parking lot expressionlessly.

"The security room is at the main entrance..." Muttering in her mouth, little Ada knew that the side of the building she came to was absolutely safe, but she didn't mean to relax, but still moved forward very cautiously. Soon, she found an ordinary car with a small displacement, gently opened the door and sat in the cab.

"Key, key, where is the key?" Ada got into the car and immediately found the key, but she couldn't find what she wanted no matter whether it was the clutch box, the sun visor, or any location.

"Cut, it's so troublesome." Without too many words, just a few short complaints, Ada took out a screwdriver from the jacket pocket, and after three times, two wires were exposed.

Then, about ten seconds later, when a burst of electric sparks collided again, the car engine roared.

"Well, that's about the same."

With the light of the dashboard, the owl on the tree outside the car can be seen more clearly. On the seemingly calm expression of the little girl, she still couldn't help but put on a smug smile.

It took a little more time to adjust the seat height, but fortunately, this sedan is not very tall, and it is not far from a sports car.

Then, stepping on the clutch and accelerator with both feet, and pulling off the handbrake, Ada, who was fully prepared, couldn't help swallowing.

"Well...it shouldn't be a problem, Dad always does this..."

With a bang, the accelerator was stepped on, and the car started to move forward!

"Oh my god, my god," little Ada hurriedly slammed on the brakes when she couldn't move forward three feet: "Oh my god, it really moved, so the next step is to turn and drive onto the road, turn, turn, turn How big is the angle?"

Even though it was the first time, Ada still managed to drive the car. Although the speed was very slow, there were no accidents. Just like that, Ada, with low beams, high beams and fog lights all on, drove up the highway in the dark night.

Oh, God!

high way!

When the wheels finally spun on the freeway, it was too late for Ida to repent. Her palms were sweating, her gums were clenched, and she was doing all she could to keep the car running safely. Three kilometers, I just need to drive a distance of three kilometers, Ada, you have to stick to the Lord!

Fortunately, there were almost no cars on the highway at this time, and she had just left the city, so the long three kilometers was driven in a very short time. She stepped on the accelerator almost to the bottom, and then faced the huge building that was almost invisible in the distance, little Ada began to worry again.

"Hmm...how should I drive there?"

She looked hesitantly at the tutor three meters ahead, God knows, it was because she suddenly saw this auxiliary road that she thought of stepping on the brakes.

Fortunately, the speed of the car was slow, and the airbag did not pop up?

It does not make sense.

In this way, the car was parked on the highway in the middle of the night, with the high beam, low beam, and fog lights on at the same time, but did not turn on the double flashing sign, Ada looked down at the fluorescent electronic watch. Very good, it's not too late now, anyway, Mom and Dad are away on business, as long as I can catch up with Melinda's appointment tomorrow morning, it doesn't matter if I go to bed late.

Then, how should we go?

Missing the expected "left turn", Ada hesitated for a minute before carefully driving onto the side road.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Then she realized how she should go. There was a big turntable after the car got off the auxiliary road. Just go straight ahead for 500 meters.

Come on, go straight ahead for 500 meters!

Looking at the huge bird's nest-shaped building faintly visible in the moonlight in the distance, little Ada was completely excited!

Let me see your mystery~

With such thoughts in mind, with a smug and excited smile on the corner of her mouth, the short-haired ten-year-old girl firmly grasped the steering wheel of the car, turned on all three lights under the cover of night, and rushed towards the hatching ground of evil plots without fear of death...
