Interstellar Destiny

Li Yao gritted his teeth. He tried to fight against this huge and abnormal data flow with all his energy and willpower. He didn't want this terrible shock to completely destroy his brain!

But his power is so meager, compared with this seemingly endless and terrifying data flow pouring down, his blocking is like a mantis' arm.

This huge and terrifying data impact is like the overwhelming flood peaks when a mountain torrent erupts. The young man's efforts seem to build a thin dam. Under the resistance, the speed of the data flow into his mind is indeed slowed down. But the consequences were more dire.

The blocked data piled up in front of that fragile dam, and in the end more and more data was almost released with a roar, completely smashing the fragile dam built by the young man to pieces.At this moment, Li Yao felt that his brain was stuffed with severe pain as if it was going to explode.

However, at the precious moment when the data was blocked, the boy made the most correct decision: in a flash of inspiration, he decided to find out the content of these codes first, what are these damn things that keep being stuffed in? !Those decoding programs that he placed in the corner of his brain were awakened in the cracks in the data torrent. The black-haired boy held his breath and tried his best to make himself forget the pain and the constantly stuffed data, and single-mindedly reversed the massive data. real information.

At this moment, his brain is like a processor with 100% operating power, frantically converting the code content from machine language to natural language, and he must seize the gaps in the data to understand what is going on.

There was a sharp pain in the boy's mind. At this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the endless data that was stuffed in that caused him pain, or the pain that was caused by the excessive burden on the brain that he forcibly invoked the brain to compress and decipher these data.

Li Yao finally seized the meager chance of survival in the face of this catastrophe!

These codes turned out to be only the underlying protocol for network access and various portal construction statements. The boy's lips and teeth were already bloody, and his whole body was wet with cold sweat, but he seemed unconscious. He was concentrating on Do one thing: desperately convert this frightening flood of data into information that you can understand better and stuff it into your mind.

After machine language becomes natural language, both the shock damage to the brain and the space it needs to occupy will be smaller.

This work is like trying to compress the flood into a fixed-format container, and then stuff the container in its own place. Compared with letting the flood wash down, of course, this process will cause less damage.

But doing so is not without risk. Li Yao himself does not know whether his brain can hold so much translated data. If the flow of the flood is too large, even after compression, it is likely to burst the black hair. The boy is a small container.

Li Yao doesn't even know whether his brain can last so long under such a crazy deciphering operation. At this time, he can hardly feel the existence of his body, and even the constant pain in his head has been numb, leaving only "" Keep going!" Such a simple thought supported him, and the boy at this moment was like a processor running at 120% continuously, which might burn out due to overload and overheating at any time.

However, at this moment, the black-haired boy has no choice, this is his last hope!

This last stand seems to be extremely long, and it seems to be just a short moment.

The boy suddenly took a long breath, and then began to pant quickly and quickly, even coughing a little because of his shortness of breath.

His first reaction was not that all this was over, but that he put his hands on his chest and felt the beating heart in his chest due to lack of oxygen, Li Yao felt that he was still alive.

Even though he was so embarrassed as if he had just been fished out of the water, Li Yao sincerely felt that it felt good to be able to use his brain to receive body signals again, even if it was the smell of blood permeating between his lips and teeth, the faint pain in his brain, and the pain in his chest. The violent protest of his heart, the pain while breathing, all these sensory signals are telling him: he is still alive, his brain is still intact and can receive the body's signals.

At that terrible moment just now, let alone being distracted to receive signals from all over the body, he couldn't even try to think when his brain was deciphering the data at full speed, and if his judgment was later, at that data transmission rate , I'm afraid it will shock him into a real idiot.

The black-haired boy lay in the virtual cabin for a long time before recovering a little from the terrifying throbbing caused by his narrow escape.

He opened his eyes and found that his eyes were blood red, so he struggled to get up, and finally threw away the horrible helmet that seemed to be cursed, and he stumbled into the bathroom, trying to organize his vision.

But he saw himself in the projection mirror in the bathroom, almost like an incarnation of a devil.

Not only the eyeballs are bloodshot, but even the nostrils and earholes are bloodstained, and the bite wound on his lips is even more clearly visible. His whole body is soaked in cold sweat, and his hair and clothes are all wet. This image is almost like It's as scary as just crawling out of hell.

The young man was also startled by his embarrassment at this time, his head was still faintly dizzy and painful.

He groped to wash off the remaining blood on his cheeks, especially in the eyeballs, but he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he felt that he still had a faint blood color when he looked at things.

Li Yao finally knew how to use the bathtub these days. He didn't even take off his clothes, he just lay down in it, commanded the house's main control program with a hoarse voice, and the bathtub was quickly filled with suitable water, massage, and even air. In addition, some fresh oxygen was thoughtfully added to the air.

The black-haired boy was lying in the warm water with his clothes closed. Under the steam, he closed his eyes and completely relaxed.

When he woke up again, the water temperature was still maintained at a suitable temperature under the main control program, but his skin was wrinkled due to soaking for too long.

After a complete rest, the boy felt that he had truly come back to life, and it was only at this time that he had the time to try to figure out what was going on.

The young man took off his clothes and ordered the master of the house to turn on the shower. Under the comfort of the warm water, he gradually calmed down his turbulent and frightened ghost, and regained the resolute forward Li Yao.

At this time, it was as if a typhoon had passed through his mind, leaving behind a mess, many inexplicable things, and some memories that he couldn't sort out in a short time.

The young man stood under the warm water, trying to sort things out one by one. Right now, there is only one question he wants to figure out the most—what is going on?

Why did he just click the button of the star network, and there will be such a terrible data shock on this nerve-connected helmet?

Li Yao believes that if someone else comes here, who doesn't know much about decoding and can't hold so much data in his brain, he must be dead, and if he survives, he will become a brain-dead idiot. He can survive intact. It's really a miracle.

He doesn't believe that everyone who wants to go to the Starnet can stand this "test". Could it be that the Starnet is just a surviving miracle like him, and more people have become idiots just to go to the Starnet?It is impossible to think and know.

So... His gaze passed through the water curtain and steaming water vapor, and looked at the virtual helmet that he threw on the ground. Is there something wrong with this helmet?

But he obviously had no problem connecting to the Zhumen Jijia Battalion.

Li Yao silently sorted out the suspicious points before and after this incident carefully. His expression remained unchanged, and his movements were also calm, as if he was just taking a routine bath. He silently let go of those suspicious points one by one. In the bottom of my heart.If it weren't for the traces of injury left on the boy's body and brain, it would have seemed as though nothing had happened.

After going through such a trial on the verge of life and death, the contours of the young man's face seemed to become more distinct, and his bloodshot eyes were still silent, like a black ocean with countless bloody deposits. The surface was calm, but the undercurrent was already raging.

The boy moved as usual, changed his clothes in an orderly manner, dried his hair, and stood in the middle of the room again, looking at the helmet that he dropped on the ground, the boy narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, as if thinking of something in his mind, Li Yao finally overcame the last remaining fear and disgust in his heart, bent down and picked up the helmet.

In any case, the virtual cabin still needs to be used, and he still needs to go to Zhumen to accumulate credit points, which can be exchanged for news about his brother, that star network—the young man pondered for a moment, but made a more decisive judgment. Instead, he made up his mind that he must Going to see it.

As for the people and things that may be related to what happened today, he will definitely figure it out and never let it go.

The young man's slender fingers brushed the helmet lightly, as if wiping off the dust that didn't exist on it, and then, as if the fear and disgust in his eyes had never existed before, Li Yao put the helmet back on the virtual cabin.

Even though he had just rested in the bathtub and regained some energy, his aching brain still protested.

Li Yao almost relied on his perseverance to force himself to eat something and replenish water. After finishing the necessary recharging work, he lay back on the bed, relaxed his body, brain, soul and even soul, and got ready Get some sleep to completely calm the vibrations of the day.

In the dream, the young man was not as dreamless as he expected. The things that were forced into his mind today flashed in the dream one by one. Various low-level data, codes, and information that he had deciphered He kept replaying it in his mind, and his brain seemed to have been completely accustomed to the high workload of today, and he was also working unconsciously in the dream, unwilling to be idle.

Those codes and deciphered information were integrated and reorganized unconsciously, restoring the framework of all the information that the entire data torrent was trying to convey.

If the original intention of these data is compared to trying to build a bridge between the Star Network and users, normal people just walk across the bridge, but the boy got the design drawings of the entire bridge in a dream, brick by brick. It was clearly presented in front of his eyes.

When Li Yao woke up on time the next day, he had already recalled everything in the dream, but strangely, according to his experience, if he had a dream at night, he would generally feel tired and not rest well, but today, Even though he subconsciously completed such a huge project in his dream, he woke up feeling refreshed and not tired at all.

It seemed that such a terrible data project was completed inadvertently while sleeping, it was very easy, and it didn't hinder his rest at all.

For a moment, the expression of the black-haired boy became very strange. He really thought it was just a "dream". The illusion given to us by the activities of the subconscious mind.

However, Li Yao was surprised to find that he recalled the underlying structure and details of the star network connection protocol one by one... he could still remember it vividly!It's as if he really restored the information and the whole frame of this data in a dream!

In other words, in his dream, he really completely deciphered the underlying structure of the entire star network?

If it is said that when the torrent of data came before, under tremendous pressure, his brain was running at full speed to convert those data into the details of the bridge blueprint, then his work in the dream was to put all these details together and restore the entire bridge. The original appearance of the drawing.

Li Yao was in a daze, he really wanted to figure out the whole thing, that's right, but when he was sleeping, his brain was too powerful, and he really "figured it out"!Is it too clear?

All this happened so strangely, just like when you opened the door, you just wanted to step on the bridge deck to reach your destination, only to find that there is no bridge at all, but a pile of broken bricks and tiles coming to cover your face, directly trying to kill you Buried to death inside, after you managed to sort out those bricks and tiles and climbed out, you found yourself in a dream, and obtained the blueprint of the entire bridge by piecing together the bricks and tiles?

This is unbelievably absurd, but it did happen to the boy.

After accepting the fact that he had a precious blueprint in his hands, the boy found that what he had learned so far could not fully understand the true meaning behind those protocol structures, just like the person who got the blueprint may not know the principle of designing a bridge. principle.

However, based on the young man's years of decoding and the experience he has learned from Old Tom, it is not a problem to understand what the drawings roughly say.

Li Yao carefully recalled the details of the agreement framework, and suddenly——the young man's bloodshot eyes swept across the virtual helmet, and he seemed to find something extraordinary and interesting inside.

Li Yao evoked a shallow and sly smile, could this be the legendary blessing in disguise?
