When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

Joad raised his head: "Siren?" He said hesitantly, as if he couldn't find the connection, "I remember it. It can directly contact Mars in an emergency, and it is usually only available in the most urgent cases...for example...a large-scale rebellion by imitators Us." He seemed to be recalling what the siren looked like.

Zhang Luotuo frowned slightly. He couldn't remember any alarms on Joad's wall, and his memory seemed to have gone wrong.

"Yes...it doesn't seem to be related. But the strange thing is that it is related." Fan Liu explained treacherously, as if he felt a little proud of his confusion, "Actually, the siren not only connects to Mars in an instant, but And there's another thing that's going to be done—something you don't know about, but that Mars actually keeps secret—"

He paused, took a breath, and said almost coldly: "That is, it can cut off the network of the entire city."

Joad sat up gently, knowing he heard something important.network.Zhang Luotuo gently clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and memorized this incredible vocabulary in the dark alone.

"Internet?" Joad repeated softly.

Fan Liu didn't notice Zhang Luotuo's movements. He nodded and said incessantly: "Yes, the network. Countless things shuttle through the green network cables, and they can reach every corner of the city in a second, and this is the network The trouble with the Internet. The Internet can be a tool for our management, but it can also become a weapon for imitation people, who take it up and let things go on the Internet-the white network, countless people gather, especially when they gather A large-scale rebellion against the Ministry of Management is likely to boil over the Internet in a second, and then cause turmoil in the entire city. Therefore, when the counterfeit people revolt on a large scale, Mars requires you to press the siren. Once the siren is sounded , within a second, the network will be cut off, and we will prevent this from happening."

Zhang Luotuo thought.He listened carefully.Network, imitate people, net.These metaphors took root in his mind.

Joad looked a little stunned, as if he hadn't thought of connecting the network and the siren at all, and Fan Liu noticed Joad's expression, and he sneered: "Why? Is it hard for you to understand?"

"A little bit." Joad said frankly, speaking softly, using a tone specially for drunk people.And this tone obviously took effect, because Fan Liu didn't notice Joad's hidden motive at all, and Joad's almost confused and fearful tone covered it up.

Joad lowered his head, and whispered along that tone, "But—" He didn't finish, but there was a look of surprise and bewilderment on his face, which Joad put on purposely—which was in his eyes. The face is rare, and because of that it is all the more striking.

Fan Liu immediately noticed Joad's expression and understood what he meant.

"Do you think this is too simple?" Fan Liu said, sitting up, staring at Qiao De carefully.

Joad nodded slightly, and then he added, "I didn't think it had anything to do with the Internet, but it's just—"

His tone was just the right amount of bewilderment and contempt, recognizable but not unpleasant.

Fan Liu shook his head, obviously disdainful of Joad's answer, he picked up the wine bottle, he had already drank more than half of it, he stroked the crystal wine bottle, the green body, the remaining wine was rippling in the glass: "You Still too young to underestimate Mars." He sighed, and said, "You think it's easy because you've only seen the horizontal stuff, and you haven't even heard it all—it's just one of the traps, and the trap Of course there's more than one."

He sniffed lightly, closed his eyes, and pondered for a long time. When it almost made people feel that he fell asleep too quickly, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Joad: "Do you know the cemetery? Feishan Tomb A garden? A mountain like a bird?"

Feishan Cemetery——Zhang Luotuo frowned as he restrained his breathing evenly. This was the second time he heard the name of this cemetery. He didn't understand why Fan Liu suddenly mentioned this place.

Fan Liu's metaphors have become very confusing, and his words don't make sense. This is a common problem of drunk people, but Fan Liu didn't realize it at all. He was drunk and continued his journey of thinking.After seeing Joad nod, he continued, "Yeah, you know what? Well, we can move on." He blinked, and held out a slack of old skin. Finger, said, "Just now we talked about the network, if the network is the first weight of the city, then what is the second? Below the network, but still very important to us, like the universe except supernova Something else that has brightness, what is that?"

He raised his head and looked at Joad expectantly, as if insisting that he would give him a satisfactory answer within a second.

Joad said tentatively, "Electricity?"

Fan Liu nodded appreciatively, obviously admiring Joad's epiphany ability: "You are very smart." He sighed, "Better than us at that time."

Then, he raised his head and looked at the ceiling, as if staring at something. After thinking for a while, he continued: "Yes. The Internet controls people's hearts, and electricity controls people's lives. In addition to controlling people's thinking and communication What else can I control? That is electricity. For example, the light above my head, without which I have no life.” He pointed to a place on the ceiling, “Electricity is a very important thing, as important as the network, in case It's over if it's controlled by the fakes, so Mars also takes it very seriously, and that's why when they install something that manages electricity, they're very careful, choosing to hide it in a place they trust - where no one will notice, to prevent This kind of thing happens."

Zhang Luotuo understood it immediately, and Qiao De seemed to understand it immediately: "So Feishan Cemetery—" he said, and immediately connected Fan Liu's words together.

Fan Liu nodded again: "Yes, you're right - where is it safe to hide it? It's best to be a place where no one wants to go. The counterfeiters don't want to, and neither do we. Then this place is Where? Where would this place be in Chongqing? Obviously, there is a good place—that is Feishan Cemetery, where no one wants to go in, and there is only one reason people go there—to mourn the dead.”

Zhang Luotuo listened carefully, hardly daring to breathe.Feishan Cemetery, that famous place but no one wants to go, has played a far greater role than the cemetery itself.

Fan Liu shook his head, moved his crutches, and said in a mysterious tone: "No one thought that we hid things there, so we can hide wherever we want. For example, hiding in D District, D0 District, a slum cluster If there are people entering other places in the cemetery, absolutely no one would want to enter there, where there are people who died or were homeless - the possibility of imitation people willing to enter is [-]. No one Knowing that it looks no different from other places, but in fact there is a mystery hidden there, something that governs the second core of the city-electricity."

His voice thumped heavily on the ground, and after a bang, the room became silent. Fan Liu's words were like the modern shampoo that was constantly spreading and expanding, blocking the ears of Qiao De and Zhang Luotuo, and they Nothing could be heard except the voice—the voice turned into foam little by little, rushing into their ears and entering their thinking system.

Zhang Luotuo heard that in the echo of that voice, Joad pretended to be ignorant, but in fact he tentatively said in a stupidly confused tone that was just right: "Then the thing used to control the second core is also like a siren. Is it something that can be installed somewhere, and can cut off the power of the whole city with one click, like cutting off the network of the whole city?"

Before he finished speaking, Fan Liu shook his head impatiently at him. The wine made him honest and impatient: "You are usually very smart, but why do you become stupid at night? Of course not, that would be too easy to make mistakes. It’s a mistake, because there are still counterfeit people entering Feishan Cemetery, unlike your management department, what if they accidentally press it? We put the main switch that controls the electricity in a safe enough place—”

He took a swig of his wine and sighed.

Zhang Luotuo held his breath and waited quietly.

Fan Liu finished his drink, closed his eyes, and rested for a while before continuing: "We put it in the computer in the management room of D-0 area."

Zhang Luotuo wrote down this silently, his heart was beating wildly, but he tried his best to let himself breathe steadily.

Qiao De was obviously the same as him, and Zhang Luotuo could hear the slight tremor in his calm voice: "In the computer in the management room?"

He saw Fan Liu nodded, and after confirming, he frowned, obviously the answer did not satisfy him, he seemed to feel that this was not a safe place.He asked in a clever way of expressing confusion: "But fakes can also enter the management room - what if someone happens to walk in, turn on the computer, and accidentally press the button of the main switch? Isn't Mars afraid of this risk?" ?”

Fan Liu shook his head again: "You don't understand." His voice became very vague, and the wine continued to emit its own effects, "Of course we can't put it in naked, we have set up a program, ordinary people Only the ordinary computer interface can be seen, and even the administrator of the cemetery can only enter the power system by entering a long 58-digit password. The system is hidden below, and there is a layer deeper, and it will jump out only when you enter the 120 five-digit password that Mars knows. At that time, you execute the system, and the program will run, issuing an order to cut off the power supply of the entire city. When When the order is issued, the city's power distribution will be destroyed within 5 minutes, just like the old world's beacon, when the entire city wall is lit, people will know that the enemy is coming..."

When he mentioned "enemy" and "beacon fire", he suddenly paused. Maybe this metaphor made him confused, or maybe the imaginary scene was so spectacular that he was completely speechless.After thinking for a while, he finally remembered what he was going to say next. He patted his head and took a shallow sip of the light yellow liquid in the cup: "That's why Mars can act quickly—"

Joad absorbed the words quickly, he seemed to be trying to get each sentence into his head, electricity.network.switch. 36-digit password, after a while, he nodded cautiously, then he continued to open his gray eyes wide, looking at Fan Liu, ready to listen to him continue.

But Fan Liu paused for a long time. He yawned from time to time. The alcohol seemed to have begun to impact his sleep control, making him forget what he was doing at the moment. Joad was looking at him intently, and then sat up: "Sorry, I was too drunk, I forgot that we were still talking."

Joad saw how drunk Fan Liu was, and he took a step cautiously: "It's okay——."

Fan Liu muttered to himself, patted his head, as if he wanted to inhale the smell of alcohol in the air, and tried to remember what they just said with difficulty: "... We just talked about two procedures, didn't we?"

"We just talked about electricity and the Internet." Joad reminded him, in a polite and cautious tone.

Fan Liu showed a suddenly realized expression: "Yes." He said, sank down, took a sip of wine, his tone became a little excited for some reason, even passionate, he even showed a smile, he was self-conscious He laughed for a while, then stopped.

Noticing Joad's puzzled expression, he said, "Don't you know why I'm laughing?"

Joad cautiously guessed: "Is it related to the third program?"

Fan Liu's Adam's apple moved, he waved his hand, the holographic image flickered, he nodded with a smile: "Yes, because I thought of the third program, and that made me laugh."

He showed a fascinated expression: "The third program..." His exclamation almost seemed to be watching a strange legend, and this expression was different from the seriousness and earnestness of the two programs discussed before.

Zhang Luotuo didn't understand.What happened to the third program?Is it embedded in some very strange place?

Joad looked at Fan Liu half genuinely confused and half half fooled, and Fan Liu stared at him with a mysterious look that was almost like a child's teasing in his drunkenness: "Look, you don't understand——, I Guess most people don't get it, and I'm sure no one would have figured out what the third defense procedure would be if they weren't prompted -- not even the smartest impersonator."

He showed a serious smile, turned his head sideways, pointed at Joad, and asked, "Do you know?"

Joad shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know."

Fan Liu nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I believe that even you would not guess it. If everyone on Mars guesses, maybe no one will guess it."

He sighed contentedly, as if for the puzzle—the one that struck him as really interesting.He was silent for a while, Zhang Luotuo closed his eyes, breathed evenly, and waited for a long time—waiting for Fan Liu to start talking—it was fun.It feels a bit odd that he describes a program and system as fun.

But he never waited.Fan Liu remained silent. For a while, Zhang Luotuo felt that Fan Liu would not speak anymore. Maybe he had realized that he was drunk and was revealing the secret, but Zhang Luotuo waited patiently and at the same time in a little panic. , Fan Liu's voice finally sounded as expected.

"Do you remember that statue?" His voice was obviously swallowing alcohol.
