The sun is high

(I was taken to the Antarctic by the target. I will code on the way, but the update time will be very messy due to network problems. Please forgive me ORZ.)

Engineer Wang's name is very simple.

The pass shows that his full name is "Wang Yang".

There is only one word missing from a historical celebrity in Xiuge's impression.

Facts have proved that the preparation measures left by Engineer Wang in the distant past are quite reliable. At least so far, Xiuge has not suffered any losses by following his tips and arrangements.

Xiuge held the activated pass and glanced at the location of Engineer Wang's body.

"Fellows don't cheat fellows... This is really a virtue."

He muttered something in a low voice, and then walked in the other direction of the hall. According to the tips given by Engineer Wang, there was a hidden passage leading to the important archives room of the continuation base.

The pass left by the engineer obviously has a very high level of authority. Compared with other passes, the magic fluctuations emanating from it are stronger and clearer. When Shuge holds it and walks in the hall, those buried The precise circuits between the walls and the ground actually responded and resonated faintly.

Soon, Xiuge came to the edge of the hall. He bypassed the two corpses of soldiers leaning against the wall, and then gently pressed the pass on the wall.

This operation does not require too clear guidance. As a spell caster who knows enough about circuits and rituals, Xiuge already roughly understood the design principles and methods of this tool when he successfully awakened the pass in his hand.

Except for those designs that are very characteristic of electronic products, these so-called passes are actually "parts" separated from large circuits. When both the parts and the main body are in an active state, there will be a natural relationship between the two. The connection should be made locally. In this case, as long as he increases the output and infusion of magic power, the connection between the two will naturally be strengthened.

Shuge's attempt brought a response.

Just like when he first stepped into this hall, the flat wall not far away began to spontaneously fold and collapse inward as if it had gained life. Within a few seconds, a passage appeared.

The light in the passage is very bright, and some of the straight lines engraved on the wall serve as lighting. A faint light emanates from them, giving people a calm and cold feeling.

With the previous preparation and experience, Xiuge was no longer surprised by this wonderful landscape. He quickly stepped into it and walked deeper along the passage.

After turning two corners, he saw a sealed heavy metal door. Next to the door, there was a machine installed, which looked like some kind of ancient "time clock".

Xiuge had to admit that the shape of this thing made him have some subtle associations.

"It can't be used to check attendance, right?"

Xiuge muttered to himself, but kept moving his hands. Relying on his own knowledge and intuition, he held the pass and pressed it towards a square indicating area on the machine next to the metal door.

The magic circuit here has been dry for a long time, so when the magic power from Shuge was injected into it, this part of the circuit experienced a moment of lag.

Fortunately, it did not suffer any form of impact or damage, so after a brief pause, Xiuge heard a crisp prompt sound, and then, a clear projection of magic power appeared in front of him.

This sealed secret archive room was obviously very special. Through the flickering and rolling magic projections, Xiuge discovered that the strict verification procedures that he had performed when he passed through the sealed door from the outside world were completely repeated. once.

Soon, he once again saw his name in this entire magic circuit system.

"Temporary visitor 002."

It was at this moment that Xiuge realized the subtlety of this title.

I am not "001", but "002".

Does this mean that there is already another verified "temporary visitor" before me?

"So it seems that I am not the first latecomer to visit the 'continuation base'?"

Xiuge stared at the keys that were constantly rolling in front of him, and his thoughts kept changing. However, he carefully recalled what he saw and heard in the hall, but he felt something unspeakable and strange - he It was certain that the remains in the hall had not been disturbed before his arrival, especially the objects left by important personnel such as Engineer Wang, and there were no traces of being touched.

"If you want to explain this, there should be only the following answers..."

"In the first case, the so-called temporary visitor 001 does not exactly point to the target. That is to say, the real visitor does not exist. The so-called '001' may be an empty codename, or it may be a codename that was used during the test. But the 'account record' has not been cleared."

"The second situation is that before me, there was indeed a 'visitor' who met the requirements. However, this visitor did not know these objects as well as I did, so he did not really realize them. The important information hidden in the pass and the device..."

"Or maybe this visitor doesn't need to go to the trouble of getting information like me. He has his own method?"

Xiuge studied the words "Temporary Visitor 002" floating in front of him, and several different conjectures were already floating in his mind.

While I was thinking about it, the tedious and strict identity verification process finally came to an end, and with a buzzing sound, the metal door that had been closed for a long time slowly slid open to both sides. In the thick darkness, the door was given a luminous function. The circuit engraved line slowly lit up, and the soft light filled the entire space at an extremely fast speed, presenting all the details in front of Xiuge.

There was a very obvious difference between this "archive room" and the one in Shuge's imagination. In the soft light, what Shuge saw were towering metal cabinets placed side by side, reaching straight to the ceiling.

These metal cabinets look like pillars used to support the room, and next to them are placed one after another "clock-in equipment."

"It looks like a variation of the 'electronic archives'."

Xiuge looked around and then stepped into it.

With the bright light, Xiuge found the labels fixed next to the metal cabinets and "instruments". After receiving the supply of magic power, these special labels based on the operation of magic circuits and multiple detection procedures have also shown clear Word.

Detailed species information, classified artworks, historical records based on countries, regions or civilizations...

As Xiuge moved forward, he read the complicated labels. He noticed that there were also sophisticated circuits buried inside these metal cabinets, and the magic flowing in them connected these huge "pillars" with the entire archives room. together.

Xiuge tentatively penetrated his senses into these circuits, and then he discovered that the magic power in these circuits was connected to the halls of the outside world - they and the heavy base, or that always maintained Operational "continuation beacons" are interconnected.

"It seems that this is more than just an archive room used to preserve traces of civilization..."

Xiuge recalled what Engineer Wang said in the video: "The essence of the 'continuation beacon' is a 'cannon', a 'cannon' that sends a large amount of energy-laden messages towards predetermined coordinates... According to the current situation Judging from the situation, this hidden secret archive room can actually be regarded as the ammunition depot of the 'continuation beacon' to a certain extent."

Xiuge pondered while walking in this strange metal forest. Although he was very interested in these complicated knowledge in his heart, and also wanted to know what wonderful development process his hometown had experienced later, but Now, he has higher priority goals.

This is what Engineer Wang calls "the operation manual related to the continuation base and beacons."

"Such an important operating manual should not be sent out mixed with other messages...should they be kept more properly?"

Thinking like this, Xiuge walked towards the terminal closest to him.

The operation of the terminal is not cumbersome. Relying on his past experience, Xiuge quickly found the retrieval and guidance functions. After he directed the retrieval target to "continue base and beacon operations", the floor quickly The corresponding indicator lines will light up.

They clearly extend deeper into the archives.

Xiuge was not in a hurry to set off, but tentatively asked questions at the terminal.

"Do I have permission to query past visitor records?"

Soon, the terminal gave a corresponding reply: "After testing, temporary visitor 002 has the corresponding permissions. Do you want to retrieve it immediately?"

After Xiuge gave a positive answer, the stagnant text started to scroll again, and the circuit lines associated with the surrounding metal cabinets also flickered at this moment. They were responding to the instructions issued by the terminal, and the long-silent The flow of information is revived under the strong mobilization of magic circuits.

These flickering lights and shadows and the constant buzzing made Xiuge feel like a flying insect that had accidentally fallen into an electronic device.

Soon, the flashing stopped, and the retrieval of data and records also ended.

Words without emotion are revealed.

"Record retrieval completed."

Below this line of prompts, dense text spread out, so Xiuge saw many different types of record lists such as "regular visitor list", "staff list" and so on.

However, these list records are now in a red locked state. Xiuge tried to read the contents, but was informed by the terminal that all members on the list had completed "logout", which would result in their access rights being revoked. If turned off, past activity records will also be archive locked.

Shuge asked: "The so-called cancellation, do you mean 'death'?"

There was no response from the terminal.

In desperation, Xiuge could only flip through the locked record lists. After flipping to the bottom, he finally saw his target.

"This is the temporary visitor list and record."

Following Xiuge's instructions, the record was successfully opened, and the subcategories contained in it were very few, with only two numbers.

That is "001" and "002".

"Really?"

Seeing this, Xiuge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was full of curiosity about the forerunner who walked before him, so he opened the "001" subcategory without hesitation.

A burst of mental shock was transmitted along the magic circuit in the terminal. It was like a probe, piercing straight into the depths of Xiuge's mind. Then, with a slight tingling sensation, a complex message It is instilled from within this "probe".

The metal disc accelerated slightly.

An extremely clear video record appears.

…

"A new visitor is detected and the access review process begins."

"Please wait."

The first thing that appeared was the blurry picture outside the metal gate. Xiuge saw a figure clearly standing in front of the gate. Because of the light, the figure looked a little blurry, and he could only barely make out the figure. Slightly slimmer silhouette.

Within the image record, the tedious verification process that Xiuge had gone through before was in progress.

"The first-class verification process has been activated...the species has been verified and the list is now compared."

"Comparison of a category of lists ended and no matching objects were retrieved."

"..."

The experience of this "temporary visitor No. 001" is similar to that of Shuge. Faced with the detailed testing process of the continuation base, he also failed to pass the tests on the regular list. This also shows that the life shown by the other party Characteristics do not fall within conventional categories.

Soon, all regular list tests failed completely.

The words of the inspection process have turned into red, symbolizing warning, and on the surface of the door, countless gear lines that have the same origin as the metal discs emerge. Within these rolling gears, a frightening aura of destruction is about to break out.

Obviously, the "Visitor 001" in the record has reached the edge of the program used to deal with illegal visitors.

Xiuge originally thought that the other party would be like him and finally pass the test with the help of a "key" hidden deep in his body. However, strangely, the corresponding words never appeared. He only saw the red light symbolizing warning getting brighter and brighter. The magic circuit filled with the aura of destruction has also begun to operate at full strength. If it continues like this, this strange visitor who does not know whether to live or die is destined to be completely wiped out.

But in the next moment, strange fluctuations spread in the image, and an orderly and regular sound sounded in Xiuge's mind. It was the sound of gears turning slowly, and it was the sound of countless complex structures playing in regular operations. Wonderful music.

Xiuge was in a daze.

He could hardly tell whether the source of the sound was his own metal disc or the slender figure in the image...
