32 days

Benjamin almost delayed his work progress because he was addicted to chatting, so he had to work overtime, which made him exhausted. In addition, there was no progress in finding someone, and he was so worried that he couldn't sleep well.He intends to find a contact person and ask for other clues, but the agent code-named "Lilac Flower" who first contacted him has returned to China, and now unless necessary, he can only passively wait for the new contact person to contact him.

Benjamin was still wondering, did the other party pay such a high price just to let him find someone?

The other party spoke vaguely, presumably because they didn't know too well, and based on the information given, they couldn't judge that person's unique ability and importance, but he must be an extraordinary person after all.In this way, ordinary employees in the company can be excluded, um, some colleagues with mediocre abilities are also removed, and some villains who follow the trend and curry favor with the boss are also excluded...

Benjamin edited and deleted according to his personal preferences, and the scope of his doubts was not too big.

At noon that day, Benjamin was looking for a seat with his lunch in the company restaurant. He was so preoccupied with something that he didn't pay attention to behind him. He turned around and bumped into someone.

"Yes...I'm sorry!" The one who was hit was the first to apologize.

Benjamin subconsciously replied, "It's okay."

The man smiled shyly at him, and sat down alone in the corner to eat pasta.

"So it's this little stutterer, I'll just say whoever has such a good temper." Benjamin said to himself, suddenly startled, his eyes brightened.

The person just now is Bob Taylor, in his 30s, because he always lowers his eyebrows and shrugs his shoulders, he looks younger visually, but in fact, he has a high IQ, strong professional ability, and enough concentration. He has multiple doctorates in hand, and now they are One of the leaders of the company's most important code-breaking quantum computer project.Benjamin is convinced of his ability, but this person does not usually have a strong sense of existence. He stutters. He is not good at speaking since he was a child, and his personality has also become introverted. When talking about work, it involves too many obscure technical terms. Even more reticent.It is only when he communicates in words online that he can spout out his excellent knowledge.

This person should have been the first thing Benjamin thought of when he heard the profile of the big difference between the Internet and reality, but Bob stuttered. The people of Quanquan Company suddenly realized that Bob was the person who best fit the description of Huaguo agent.

Although the other party said that the person should have used some kind of intelligent software on the Internet, which was slightly different from Bob's situation, Benjamin still sent this discovery as a phased result. Anyway, the agent said that as long as there is a suspect, he can go up Report, his country will conduct further investigations.

When I went home that night, Benjamin asked his wife to wear a red hat and silk scarf tomorrow morning. His wife was confused, and Benjamin just said: "Recently, work is not going well. Please wear a red one for my luck."

The wife stopped talking. It seemed unbelievable that a cutting-edge quantum science expert would be superstitious, but she flipped through an early science fiction novel "The Man in the High Castle" on her husband's bookshelf. They all like to use the ancient Chinese classic "Book of Changes" to guide their actions. She also knows that her husband is very interested in the myths of some oriental underworld. Submissive to her husband.

The red hat and silk scarf are just a signal that he is going to start sending messages, and then the key content.

The next day, the wife put on a red beret, a red scarf and a matching outfit for the occasion.On the third day, the wife put on the yellow hat and scarf at his request, followed by a separate black hat or scarf for three consecutive days, then a black hat and scarf at the same time one day, and then another day at the husband's request Wear a red hat and a red scarf at the same time, and after that, her husband no longer makes demands on her dress.

In this way, the message was sent out.

This was the secret code that Agent Lilac had agreed with him earlier in the morning, and it was limited to conveying the names of suspects, too complicated messages could not be transmitted through this method.

When he asks his wife to wear a red hat and silk scarf at the same time, it means that he wants to send a message, and the other party should pay attention to check it. Then, the five colors of "red, yellow, blue, white and black" are used as the basic colors, and the five colors are cycled to correspond to 26 In simple terms, red, yellow, blue, white and black represent ABCDE and FGHIJ/KLMNO/PQRST/UVWXY/Z respectively.

Benjamin wants to tell the hidden agents of Huaguo the name of Bob Taylor, all he needs to do is pass on the initials B·T. If the initials are the same as those of other people in the company, he will also add his middle name. B corresponds to yellow, and B is in the first group of five letters, and the expression can be ended at one time, so wearing a yellow hat and silk scarf at the same time means that both B and the end of this letter, and T corresponds to black. In the fourth group of five letters, it is necessary to wear only a separate black hat or silk scarf for three consecutive times, and wear a black hat and silk scarf at the same time for the fourth time, indicating that this letter is finally over.

After the two letters have been expressed, a red hat and a red scarf are worn again, indicating that this time the information transmission is over.

It took seven days before and after, and only the two letters B and T were said. The efficiency is really low, but I have to say, it is still easy to remember and quite safe.

At that time, Hua Guo’s agents contacted Benjamin very hastily, and there was no time to arrange complicated contact methods. As for technological products such as radio transceivers, they are even more useless in today’s tense moments—because on the 32nd, various countries have already strictly controlled the sources. radio signals, they had no choice but to use this easy-to-remember and safe five-color code to transmit messages although the amount of information is poor.

Moreover, Benjamin's wife was a beautiful opera actress, and she was already well-dressed, and the locker was full of colorful hats, silk scarves and other items, so she didn't attract attention at all.Benjamin thought that maybe the agent had investigated this too before thinking of making a fuss about his wife.

And Benjamin, the recipient of the information, does not know where, maybe it is near his home, every morning when his wife goes to work, he will look through the binoculars in the window of the Acura, maybe it is the ticket girl of his wife's opera house, the fat security guard , the uncle who sells popcorn, the fanatical fans who come to support his wife every day, maybe even his wife has been turned against him, anyway, Benjamin doesn't need to know.

After finishing a little worry, Benjamin couldn't help feeling amused when he thought about his behavior in the past few days.Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, such a simple and traditional password system is still used.This further proves Benjamin's long-standing thinking that it is a waste to spend a lot of top talents, equipment, and time on password cracking.You are desperately setting up the firewall, I am desperately trying to crack it, you improve a little, I also want to improve a little bit, back and forth competition, constantly seesaw, during which a huge amount of human and financial resources are invested, just like investing in a millstone, against each other , unnecessary consumption.

It's not that Benjamin doesn't understand things like opportunities and intelligence. If he can crack the opponent's security system earlier, even if it's only one day earlier, it may change a war drastically.But from the perspective of the entire human race, Benjamin still felt it was a waste.It doesn't matter anymore, war itself is a waste, not to mention the derivatives of war.

When resources are tight, I am afraid that some people will appreciate this waste of population.If there are more rabbits, the wolves will grow stronger, and if the number of rabbits decreases, the wolves will decrease accordingly. Naturally, an invisible hand is used to control the ecological balance.Using people to consume people seems to be a natural method.What can Benjamin say if those who wage wars are admitted to be slaves of nature.

But Benjamin is occasionally fascinated by the oriental concepts he heard, such as hell, yangshou, and yinshou. In oriental legends, after death, the soul will go to the hell of the underworld, and then according to the various rewards and punishments in life, the evil will fight. Entering the eighteen levels of hell, and good people will be granted Yinshou of varying years according to their merits.Ghosts with Yinshou will live well in the underworld, live in houses burned by relatives, be taken care of by paper figurines burned by relatives, use paper money burned by relatives, everything will be happy and carefree, if Yinshou is long enough , You can also wait for the relatives of the offspring before reincarnation, and then have a good reunion.

If Yinshou really exists in the underworld, and if people know that after death is a continuation and judgment of life, they may treat every life more peacefully.

Legends are just legends after all, but Benjamin thought, what if technology develops to a certain level?It is developed that the computer can simulate the intricate neuron system of human beings, can provide a carrier for brain waves, and can... build an electronic hell.

When a person dies, the device receives the brainwaves that are about to dissipate. While receiving them, it analyzes the brainwaves. There is nowhere to hide all good and evil in this life.For those who do many evils, throw their souls into the electronic volcano and burn them, and then destroy them with one click, and they will die completely.But for those who do good deeds, give him a beautiful electronic manor, let him experience life that is very real to him in the virtual electronic hell, this is Yinshou.The relatives click in front of the computer, and they will send a bouquet of bright flowers that will not wither.

Let the electronic hell be operated by intelligent AI, and no living person can interfere in the electronic world after death. There is the hell, the pure land, the paradise, the most fair and just place, and the best explanation for people's life.No matter how humble a life is, it is possible to receive the highest respect in the electronic world.

Benjamin romantically and innocently imagined that those are very far away, so far away, like a primitive man wrapped in animal skin and without language, dreaming that he can walk to the brightest star in the sky step by step with his feet, presumably That star has inexhaustible fruits and beasts that cannot resist. The seasons are as warm as spring and the night as day.

Although it is far away, someone must take a step in that direction.The development of quantum computers has made it possible for Benjie to make tomorrow's fantasy come true. He is willing to walk around, even if he has never taken a step in his life, but he still has to use his fingers to point out that direction for the people behind.Anyway, it's all useless consumption, and he still prefers to waste his life where he wants to waste it.

When Yan Fei sent the newly collected list of Joker suspects to Luo Caiyun's office, Luo Caiyun was watching the evening news of country A. Miraculous achievements, continuous promotion.

Yan Fei also took a look: "This is the lilac flower that this person found, and he sent people to follow it secretly. If it wasn't for the lack of substantive evidence, he might have arrested Ding Xianghua on the spot. Ding Xianghua reported the specific situation to me in detail after returning home. But he still doesn't know how he was exposed. I understand Lilac. He acted cautiously, boldly and carefully. During the time of suspicion, Lilac did not carry out the task, and I don’t know where he showed his flaws. It’s a pity to withdraw him, otherwise there will be a lot of achievements.”

"He's an extreme racist." Luo Caiyun was referring to the country A policeman with ruthless eyes on the screen.

"Yes." Yan Fei said, "He has made a lot of extreme racial remarks before. In his jurisdiction, some ethnic minorities live unsatisfactorily, especially the relatively high-status ethnic minorities. On the bottom line allowed by the law, I encountered difficulties from him. Although this person’s language is extreme, he never violates the law in doing things, and people can’t find fault. He is a difficult person.”

Yan Fei smiled helplessly: "Ding Xianghua's house happens to be in his jurisdiction. As a yellow man, he has good friends with many high-class people. It is probably also a thorn in his side. Ding Xianghua and I speculate whether it is just because he sees it. It was not pleasing to the eye, so I kept staring at the lilacs secretly, and only then did I find the clues."

Luo Caiyun thought for a while and said, "According to the intelligence summary, his performance against racial minorities has exploded since last May."

Yan Fei raised his eyebrows: "Are you trying to say that he is also the person on the 32nd? The information collected during the 32th? That can explain why Lilac was exposed quietly. After all, in an environment like the [-]nd, Even lilacs can't withstand the slow examination with a magnifying glass."

Luo Caiyun said with emotion: "The 32nd really brought a lot of trouble to our espionage work."

In reality, if someone suspects that Ding Xianghua is an agent of Huaguo, they will always try to collect evidence, such as sneaking into Ding Xianghua's residence or places she frequents. The task at hand is also stopped immediately.But if the other party starts on the 32nd, even if Ding Xianghua's home is dismantled to the atomic level, Ding Xianghua still doesn't know anything, so there's no way to be prepared.If it wasn't for a top agent like Lilac this time, and if he happened to be aware of someone being followed by luck, he might be found out silently, and the intelligence chain that he had managed so hard to manage would probably be used by the other party, and the loss would be immeasurable , and became a stepping stone for that extreme racist to get promoted and get rich.

"But he is too high-profile, isn't he afraid of being assassinated?" Yan Fei pointed at the wolf-like green eyes on the screen.

"Maybe country A did it on purpose." Luo Caiyun crossed her fingers and rested her chin, feeling a little tired, "There is no way to hide the 32nd from the public for too long. One day everyone will know the existence of 32, just like knowing The earth has to be accepted as a daily routine like the North and South Poles. But how does the public view the 32nd? Will it cause panic in the crowd? We have sociologists specializing in these topics. This person can be said to be the response of country A One of the methods is their official spokesperson for the 32nd. Now they are using the news and public opinion to pave the way. They will let the public know that the official police exist on the 32nd. They are still authoritative during the 32nd, maintaining order and eliminating crimes. , and used the 32nd to pull out many cancers that endangered the country. In this way, the public’s perception of the 32nd is positive, and the government is still trustworthy.”

"An official image spokesperson?" Yan Fei smiled, "An extreme racist..."

"Yeah, extremely racist."

Yan Fei and Luo Caiyun looked at each other, and they both sensed the unfinished meaning of the other's dialect.

"Trust, or trust crisis." Luo Caiyun finally sighed.

The regulatory means composed of modern technology and social systems are all ineffective before the 32nd. What is fatal is that countless interests and desires flowed across the 32nd, so those so-called freedom and equality that are already wearing invisible shackles are also You can't spread out a lot, no one is trustworthy, no one is worthy of a country's entrustment, and the people's hearts are separated by another 32 days, all judgments about trust have no choice but to return to an old and simple point of view , not necessarily right, but always right.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.
