32 days

Luo Caiyun was in her office when someone sent a paper report, a confidential document, from outside.

Luo Caiyun's disassembly is a detail about the 32nd.

When Yi Alan encountered a missile crisis, he mentioned that Joker launched another missile to save him, blasting away the land and the fortress walls, allowing him to successfully climb out from a depth of [-] meters underground.At that time, many people only cared about where the first wave of malicious attacking missiles were launched from—a small country in the south of Huaguo, with a military base in country A.The origin of the missile launched by Joker for the second time was ignored. Later, Xiao Hao judged from the data collected by the satellite that the specific location was a missile launch base in the north of China, and Joker should have invaded there. launch system.

But Luo Caiyun and the others didn't really ignore it. No matter what, the specific details still had to be investigated clearly. Guessing, no matter how well-founded the guessing was, couldn't easily give a certainty to a matter.

It's just that this matter is closely related to Yi Alan, in order to avoid suspicion, of course the inspection of the launch site cannot be carried out by the person concerned Yi Alan.

Another candidate was arranged above.

The content of this report was submitted by that person.He went to the launch base. After inspection, the launch of the missile was indeed carried out in the air. No one entered the base to actually operate it. Anyway, he did not find any traces of outsider activities.According to the monitoring, during the time when Yi Alan died, the system firewall in the base sounded a brief intrusion alarm, and then the screen operated automatically. Joker did not cover and clean up these leftover traces, obviously he didn't care whether they would be discovered.

There is no particular reason why Joker chose this base. It should be that there are humanoid robots and automatic transport vehicles in this base, and missiles can be quickly assembled-these are also proved by surveillance videos. At the same time, there is a A missile with a suitable equivalent and a fiber shell can produce an explosion with sufficient energy, and the shell will melt in the explosion, instead of turning into sharp fragments that rotate at high speed like a metal shell.In this way, those metal fragments with huge lethality will not accidentally injure Yi Alan.

Joker really wants to rescue Yi Alan, and considering many factors, Yi Alan will be very moved if he finds out.

Anyway, this report proves from the side that Yi Alan's rhetoric is not problematic on the surface.However, what can be proved is only the last time, and Yi Alan has not given a reasonable explanation for the transgression this time.

As for the missile bases in their own country that let people come and go like a back garden, Luo Caiyun and the upper echelons are very helpless, but there is no good way to stop them at present. They have not even accurately positioned Joker's true identity. Fortunately, Joker has not yet shown malicious.

Luo Caiyun locked the report in the safe.The author of this report does not even know Luo Caiyun, and is under the direct jurisdiction of a few top leaders, but Luo Caiyun also has some guesses.

Luo Caiyun knew that the emergency team on the 32nd was actually a force on the bright side. It was doing what all countries in the world were doing. The level of secrecy did not need to be too high. Even if the information leaked occasionally, it would not cause too much impact.And in the dark, there are still people in the government who can enter the 32nd lurking secretly.For example, after being attacked by missiles, the counterattack arranged by the state destroys the launch site with missiles.

The launch of missiles needs to be arranged by people, but this task has not been handed over to the emergency team on the 32nd.Presumably the above considered that the counterattack had another important purpose besides safeguarding the dignity of the country, and that was to tell the watching countries in the world that there were people in China who could launch missiles and even nuclear missiles on the 32nd. Well hidden.This will be a strong deterrent force, in order to seize the right to speak on the 32nd.

Now all countries are still in the period of exploring the 32nd. No one knows how the 32nd appeared and how it works. Therefore, the current handling of the 32nd is all focused on destroying secrets internally and preventing them from being peeped and stolen.But in the future, countries will definitely learn about the 32nd, when the real battle will begin.

If there are important opportunities hidden on the 32nd, then whoever has enough talents on the 32nd will have more say, and that will be a more important strategic resource than oil, even enough to break the current international situation.

I am afraid that at that time, some countries will frantically bomb other countries with indiscriminate missiles on the 32nd, preventing other countries from exploring the 32nd, and will enjoy the 32nd exclusively.Therefore, Huaguo's display of intercontinental power with ease is actually responding to a missile attack that may be a deliberate provocation, saying that if you dare to bomb randomly, we will dare to fight back in the same way. If you die under the overwhelming missiles, the research instruments and the required space and environment will also be wiped out in the explosion, and no one will be able to study.

The person who launched the missile is actually a deterrent like a nuclear bomb.

The knock on the door interrupted Luo Caiyun's thoughts.

"Come in."

Yan Fei pushed open the door.

Luo Caiyun asked: "Did Yi Alan speak?"

Yan Fei shook his head helplessly: "This kid is too difficult to beat, even if he is determined to keep his mouth shut, there is nothing I can do." Then, he looked at Luo Caiyun: "You have taken a softer approach to Yi Alan. strategy, is there any judgment?"

"Not at all." Luo Caiyun smiled, "It's just us who dragged him into the political quagmire. We can't just show a little bad sign, so treat him like an enemy. And the 32nd is different from usual. The means of supervision will be greatly weakened, and I wonder if we need to change the way of leadership..."

She shook her head and laughed: "Forget it, tell me why you came here. You didn't come here specially to report that there is no progress and you are ready to leave work."

Yan Fei said: "Actually, it's about the overseas intelligence line I'm in charge of. It's the agent code-named 'Lilac Flower' I mentioned last time who has been in country A for many years. He recently reported to the Ministry of Intelligence that he may have exposed , He has discovered many times that the secret police of country A are following him, but he doesn't know how it was exposed, so he asked the Ministry for instructions on how to proceed next."

"Then let him come back." Luo Caiyun said, "but before we evacuate to perform another mission, it just so happens that we originally planned to let him do that. Even if we are not too sure now, but since it is exposed There is no other way, this opportunity cannot be wasted.”

Yan Fei smiled: "I think so too."

Benjamin is a senior researcher at the Quantum Research Institute under MEGGOV, a well-known technology company in country A. In the eyes of many people, he is a successful person. He is only in his early forties. He also has very unique insights into social development, and has also obtained an enviable high-paying job that matches his ability.Only Benjamin himself sometimes feels distressed and lost, because he is not a big figure in his quantum research institute, which means that he often cannot do what he wants to do most.

MEGGOV has a good relationship with the government and has contracted the development of government communication systems.The Quantum Research Institute has also received government funding, mainly to study the role of quantum computers in password cracking.This project was terrible for Benjamin. He thought that cracking codes was a boring and uncreative thing, and it turned the wonderful quantum computer technology into a political tool, turning technology into a war once again. An arms race, not a benefit to humanity.

Of course, Benjamin knows that the government and the company have their own considerations. With limited funds, it is only natural that the direction he wanted to research was rejected because it was not practical in a short period of time. Except for occasional self-deprecating, he rarely confides in front of outsiders dissatisfied.

But there have been a few times, probably in the Go club.Benjamin will participate in one or two activities or gatherings held by the Go Club every month. The participants are all amateur Go players, just for relaxation and entertainment after work.

Putting all his heart and soul into the game, his mouth subconsciously reveals his sincere thoughts.Benjamin always felt that no one would pay attention to his few casual complaints, until some time ago, someone from the Go Club found an opportunity to have a secret conversation with him.That is a Chinese, and it is normal to have Chinese in the Go club.Benjamin noticed a silver lilac pinned to his tie.

The Chinese man said to Benjamin that as long as Benjamin helps to keep an eye on someone, after the event is completed, Huahui will set up a separate project team for Benjamin, led by him, and do whatever research he wants.

This person is an agent inserted by Hua Guo.Benjamin immediately realized this with horror, and then he remembered that this Chinese man was not familiar with himself at first, but he was familiar with another person in the club, that is, a member of Congress.Apparently, this agent deliberately approached the member of Congress to obtain political information, but now for some reason he actively exposed his identity in front of him.

Benjamin knew that he should expose the person in front of him immediately, but he continued to ask, for example, who was he paying attention to.

The other party said vaguely: "The specific identity is not clear. It should be a researcher related to quantum computers. The main clue is that there may be some problems with that person's personality. There will be obvious differences between face-to-face conversations and online conversations, because the other party may They will use software such as virtual robots and intelligent programs to replace themselves to socialize. We need you to identify people who meet these characteristics."

Benjamin was at a loss, unable to judge what the other party wanted to do, and what impact this action would have on his country.

The other party said: "I don't know whether I should trust you or not. This time I took the initiative to expose myself and put myself in danger, so I will leave here soon and never come back. At the same time, in order to avoid complications, you are only eight years old. One hour to think about it. After eight hours, no matter what you say, I will not respond. Benjamin, you are a person with great ambitions. We don’t communicate much, but I admire you very much, and so does my country. I will not disappoint you. I know that people like you will get preferential treatment wherever they go, but not all countries are willing to spend huge sums of money to realize your dreams."

No matter what the other party's purpose is, once you agree to him, it is an undoubted act of treason.

But as mentioned above, Benjamin has his own unique judgment and understanding of many things.He believes that in the future, the boundaries between countries will disappear.And now, although he is not exempt from the custom and accepts the blessing of the country and supports his own country, but in the face of the temptation to directly hit the soul, he can't help comforting himself. Compared with the narrow national boundaries, human progress brought about by technology is obviously more important. important.He is not only fulfilling his own dream, but also for the development of all human beings.If he can really make achievements that will last forever in history, his betrayal today will not be counted in future history books.

Almost eight hours later, Benjamin contacted the Huaguo agent who was no longer in country A and told the other party that he agreed.

Therefore, Benjamin has been socializing frantically during work breaks recently.He began to be keen on chatting with his work partners, taking the content of work as the starting point and then casually chatting all over the place, paying special attention to the difference between chatting with the other party on the computer and chatting face-to-face.
