Therapy Planet No. 13

When the news of the mutated Zerg reached Riley's ears, she was searching for the required information on the 333rd floor of the Federal First Library, the main star of the University City galaxy.

Although almost all books—confidential and non-confidential—have been scanned and digitized and transferred to the Sanxingdui Research Institute, not to mention some paper versions that are too old and improperly preserved. The first version of the digital hard disk also suffered a lot of damage and had to be read by special machines.

Moving around will more or less cause damage to hardware and software, and the site of Sanxingdui is also limited. In the early days of the federation, when Sanxingdui and the First Library were built, high-level discussions were held for a long time, and some important materials were definitely kept in the end. In the first library.

Riley came here this time to revisit the relevant original materials and to relax.

——For example, she is wandering around in other floors now. In a library of this magnitude, you can always encounter some interesting things inadvertently.

"Ah, sorry."

Riley had just pulled his gaze away from the video when he accidentally bumped into a tall, thin-looking man.

"It's my fault, you're not hurt, are you?"

The man looked polite, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, short silver-gray hair combed meticulously, elegant and easy-going, one couldn't help but suspect that he was a professor in a galaxy in the university city.

"No." Riley shook his head hastily, and with a detached smile opened the distance between the two of them a little.

She saw clearly the book in the man's hand, and asked casually, "Are you interested in Zerg? There are not many people who like to study Zerg."

This is a stack of reprinted materials about Zerg combat records.

Although the Federation and the pirates recently went to war, and the Zergs also participated, the mutation was basically covered up by the Federation, and not many people knew about it. If it weren't for scholars who were interested in this field before, ordinary scholars would not be aware of the research Change of focus.

"Never seen you before."

Riley quickly went through the big names in the field of biology and warfare in his mind, and no one's face could match the person in front of him.

She smiled politely and asked, "You are quite young considering your age, are you new here?"

The man shook his head: "I'm just a tourist living here, not in the University City system. I happened to bump into this level when I was transferred to this floor, and I'm just a little interested."

"To the Zerg?"

"To the Zerg."

Riley just felt that it was a novelty. Now the Zerg is almost withdrawing from the stage of history in the eyes of ordinary people. Even if there was news a while ago to hype the Zerg Queen, it was only a short-term publicity and it was impossible to last.

The rare rest time, and the mutated Zerg video that just came, and you don’t need to watch it, it must have been filled with the message box requesting communication, which made Riley feel a sense of self-defeating irritability.

She tilted her head and walked towards the cafes on every floor: "I just happen to have some ideas, why don't we chat?"

The man nodded: "It's an honor."

The two sat down facing each other at the small round table, next to it was a huge French window.

The First Library is undoubtedly the highest geographic coordinate in the University City galaxy, and it is also the greatest symbol of wisdom.

From the outside, it looks like piles of stacks of books piled up in a spectacular order, and looking out from the transparent "spine" made of single-sided glass, countless floors with different shapes and different disciplines as the core can be seen at a glance. .

A house with a text structure, a structure surrounded by musical notes, an academy formed by spherical particles...

The wisdom and wealth created by human beings in the past dynasties are all in sight.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet."

After sitting down, the man took out a business card from his pocket: "My name is He Xiangbin, a freelancer."

A folded robot arm stretched out from the edge of the table, with a steel shell, exuding a cool cyberpunk aesthetic, and poured a cup of special coffee for the two of them.

When they sit down, they choose their drink.

"Riley."

The director of the Sanxingdui Research Institute did not shy away from revealing his true identity.

For one thing, the entire First Library is under official surveillance, and detailed identity checks are required for entry and exit, making it difficult for criminals to mix in;

Second, ordinary people don't care about such top scientists. Even if they appear on the news, in this era of information explosion, they will be forgotten by mankind in an instant;

Thirdly, even someone with a heart wants to come and kidnap the current director of Sanxingdui in full view...

Riley doesn't see this as a bad thing.

After all, there have been rumors in the institute recently, so she had to apply for a transfer order to go to the university city galaxy to steal a clean.

He Xiangbin recognized Riley's real identity the first time he saw her, but the experience on the 13th made him subconsciously suppress his surprised expression, and it was only now that he squeezed out a proper surprise at the right time.

To some extent, those who have stayed in the 13th for a long time can directly apply for a degree from the Federal Academy of Drama.

I believe that even if most people can't get the seat of an outstanding graduate, they can become the first person to play the role of "never smile".

"So it's...you." He Xiangbin hurriedly stood up, but Riley motioned him to sit down with his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"You're welcome, I'm also a layman when it comes to Zerg."

Riley picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee, then glanced at the book: "However, I've been a little interested recently, and I just happened to meet a friend, so I want to exchange a few words."

He Xiangbin smiled: "I thought you should know all about these things."

Liming told 90.00% of what happened in Sanxingdui.

The core of it is based on various sub-projects under the Sanxingdui "Great Return" project...Digital Planet, 13 different forms of social simulation, black death virus, brain-computer interaction...and so on, Liming's brain is like A precision-operated machine reproduces all paper materials into a limited brain capacity.

She has grown into a monster with super capacity.

Since the Federation is also experimenting with the Black Death virus, it is impossible for Riley not to reflect the root cause of the Zerg mutation.

It is absolutely impossible to "know nothing" about Zerg.

What does she want to do?

He Xiangbin has repeatedly confirmed that he is definitely not included in the wanted list of the Federation or Almi. His identity certificate was re-registered by Lucas with great effort. Although his name has not changed, he is a federal citizen At a certain point in time in the information system, he can find an anchor point in the boundless universe.

As long as he doesn't say anything, he is the most ordinary federal citizen.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to find someone to chat casually."

Riley seems to often do something like this: "You know, but anyone who has read college and written a thesis must have heard this sentence from the advisor-if you can pull a passer-by in a coffee shop and let If he understands your research, it means that the paper is easy to understand—after staying in a fixed circle for a long time, it is easy to take some quite professional things as common sense, which is also the reason why science is separated from the public.”

Holding a coffee mug, she said, "Occasionally we need someone to help us find our way, or develop our ideas."

He Xiangbin expressed his understanding.

If anything is done to the extreme, it is easy to become extreme, which is why many scholars are arrogant.

As the head of Sanxingdui, Riley can still see the whole picture, which is really not easy.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" he asked.

Riley said: "The Zerg is basically extinct now, and there are not many active ones now. Which one are you looking at?"

He Xiangbin closed the pages of the book, revealing the cover: "Fernando."

He rubbed his temples: "After all, didn't the news report that Fernando's queen was imprisoned or killed by pirates? I didn't know, so I just flipped through it."

In fact, he only came to study the fighting style of Fernando's team after Li Ming's reminder.

——According to the queen's announcement before she died, at a certain point in history, a certain human influenced the entire Zerg race.

He will soon find this node.

"Battlefield records..." Riley read it carefully, "These are all first-hand information... Are you interested in war history?"

He Xiangbin nodded: "A little bit."

Riley was about to see what the passer-by had to say, when her personal terminal screamed inappropriately.

She lowered her head in displeasure, she had blocked the normal contact, and if she can still be contacted now, something important must have happened!

"Jeffrey, what's the matter?"

She got up, turned her back to He Xiangbin, and looked at the forest of buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Where are you now?" Jeffrey's voice sounded smooth.

"college town."

"I suggest that you better come back. Now there are rumors everywhere in the institute, saying that you let go of the experimental subject Dawn with acquiescence, the video of the Zerg was posted on the public channel, and someone also accused you of the leak of the Black Death virus."

Riley gave a displeased "hmm": "I know. If you just want to talk to me, then you don't have to..." It's so troublesome.

Before the next four words could be said, Jeffrey interrupted him violently: "Rumors are spreading in the institute now, I believe if you let it continue to simmer, there will be a criticism meeting against you."

Jeffrey said: "Trust me, you don't want to lose the title of director."

Losing a title means losing power.

Although Riley doesn't care about the political power on the head of the "director", she knows that research funding, equipment, political support, and various other conditions are all tied to this title.

It would be fine if she was just demoted and resigned, but once the title of "spy" is confirmed, she might not even be able to set foot in Sanxingdui!

She originally wanted to wait for the results of the subject at hand to fight a good turnaround and shut up these gossiping people, but now it seems that time simply does not allow it.

Riley cut off the communication: "I see, I'll be right back, you help me stabilize them first."

"By the way, call the person in charge of Z4 to my office."

When Riley turned around and apologized to He Xiangbin and left, He Xiangbin was convinced that Riley's killing intent had been decided.
