Global Examination

On the second day, the core computer room of the research room was properly arranged, and the first batch of experts and researchers will move in soon. At that time, the new project based on the system core disk will officially start.

The person in charge of cleaning packed up the transport packaging and took them out, but You Huo and Qin Chen stayed in the computer room.

A special screen was lit in front of them, and two figures crouched under the screen and were busy.

Gao Qi bowed and grabbed a metal handle, and said to the person on the other end: "922, please lift that chassis."

Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment. In Brigade S, there were many people who called him by his name, but Qin Chen was the only one who called him by this code name.Now that I suddenly heard another person call that, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

When they first left the system, they tried to get rid of these numbers and call them names.Others are okay, but they can't get used to it among this group of people.

After going back and forth like this for a long time, I finally called back the code name one after another.

They are all witnesses to each other about that experience. As long as they still meet, they are destined to remember the past, the days in the system, the people they met and the things they did.

But it doesn't matter, all experiences, good or bad, are valuable, at least they make up their complete life.

Wen Yuan recovered from his daze, lifted the chassis, and called out "boss".

Qin Chen leaned over and put the core disk in from the side.

"Okay." You Huo said, pointing at the screen.

They straightened up and patted the ashes off their hands.

Wen Yuan looked at the screen and knocked on the console.The others stood aside, waiting in silence.

After the system world was disintegrated, the "soul" that always brought people nightmares disappeared, and 154 also disappeared.Although he is separated from the system ontology, he still depends on the constructed world, living and dying together.

But you and the others don't believe in this evil. They always believe that the main console of the system body and the "core" of the system body are really destroyed by interference. 154 may be affected, but it will not disappear completely.

They have tried many methods and sought many experts.But every time the results are similar, just like what Wen Yuan said: If 154 is still there, this surviving core disk should be his habitat.

They have sent messages to the core disk many times, so many that they are almost innumerable, but they have never received a response.

In fact, there is another possibility that they have been unwilling to think about——

When the system kernel was destroyed, the broadcast said "a correction program has been detected", but at that moment, the real correction program was still in their hands.Someone must have simulated the "correction program" and integrated it with the "core" of the system to truly end those nightmares and tragedies.

So... who else can simulate a "correction procedure"?

Only 154.

Sometimes, Wen Yuan would suddenly think of that scene at night, and the voice of the system would circle in his mind endlessly, repeating that sentence, and after a long time of repetition, it would gradually become the tone of 154.

Then he couldn't sleep anymore, no matter how tired he was from training during the day, it was difficult for him to fall asleep peacefully.

Once he finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn, and unfortunately dreamed of that scene again.The dream is not restored at all, and a lot of things have been added.

He dreamed that 154 occupied the throat of the system, and said to them with a rustling broadcast voice: "I will give you one last ride, and I have been a few years of bad friends in vain."

After waking up, he sat on the bed for a long time, thinking that he might never meet such a bad friend again in his life.

Wen Yuan paused, and explained: "I made an application before, and linked the dynamics of the core disk to the mobile phone. It suddenly moved a little last night, so I want to see what's going on today."

He tapped the keyboard one last time, and the screen finally lit up completely, showing that the system core disk was in the simplest mode, and beside it were some of the most basic operation buttons, such as startup, shutdown, and searching database information.Like a dead computer.

Wen Yuan entered several interfaces familiarly, but found nothing.Finally, he switched to the monitoring interface again, pointed to a small crest in the early morning of last night and said, "Look, it happened after 2 o'clock last night."

Gao Qi asked: "What does this sudden fluctuation mean?"

"This core disk has always been in low-frequency operation mode... just like a mobile phone is on standby, and it is not really turned off, in order to ensure its subsequent stability." Wen Yuan explained: "This fluctuation means that the core disk did not maintain the original mode at that moment. , It’s like your standby mobile phone suddenly received a message and lit up.”

Gao Qi said: "Isn't that a good thing!"

Wen Yuan nodded, and said in silence for a moment: "Yes, I didn't fall asleep in the second half of the night yesterday. But I'm worried that it's because of the instability caused by frequent movement of it recently. It's not..."

He paused, and said quickly in a low voice, "Not evidence of 154's existence."

The computer room was quiet, only the soft sound of the core disk running could be heard.

After a long time, Qin Chen said: "The core disk is the most important part of the system at any rate. If it is moved, it will cause instability. Isn't it justified?"

Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened up.

He smiled and said, "Yes."

Because of this "also", they began a long wait and try.

The experts and researchers involved in the project also hope to keep traces of 154, so while improving the structure of the new system, they fixedly send greetings and messages deep into the core disk.

This has almost become a daily habit of this group of people, unshakeable.

So spring, summer, autumn and winter... the four seasons have gone through more than one round.

The entire project ended in the autumn of the second year, and the new system has been basically completed, mainly used for the construction of training scenes and screening assistance, and it will be put into use soon.

The special training camp at that time was a bit deserted with the atmosphere of late autumn, because You Huo and Qin Chen took all the students to the south for sea training.Only the researcher who was in charge of finishing the work was left in the huge place, and the silence was a bit bleak.

Wen Yuan didn't go to lunch, but went into the core computer room with a special cleaning agent.Out of obsessive-compulsive disorder or...something else, he planned to tidy up the place a little bit, after all he was going back to Team S in another week.

The next time I come here again, I have to wait for the new system to start up.In the future... I don't know what year and month.

He sat in front of the screen in the computer room for a while, then turned on the system, and sent a word to the core disk, everything was as usual.

Maybe it was because he was leaving. Looking at the content passed on, he suddenly felt that it was too simple. He obviously had a lot to say.Not only him, but also Qin Chen, You Huo, 021... Everyone who has witnessed the existence of 154 has a lot to say.

But it’s not a one-sided confession. What they hope is communication, a back-and-forth conversation like before, whether it’s small talk, jokes, or mutual harm, as long as there is a response.

Wen Yuan sent in a daze for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, the screen was already filled with the messages he sent, because his fingers subconsciously pressed the send button.

Every message is blank, without content, as if there is something to say, but they don't know where to start.

Wen Yuan was taken aback, such continuous messaging could easily cause some program disturbances.

He stood up abruptly, banging on the buttons, intending to undo those blank and useless content, and checking to see if there was any confusion.

Just when he was about to press to execute the program, the screen suddenly flickered.

At that moment, Wen Yuan thought he was dazzled.

The program on the screen is still scrolling, going down hundreds of lines in an instant.

He froze there for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hand to drag the contents of the screen back desperately.

He searched for a long time, and finally found a message among the densely packed characters.The source of that message is displayed as the core disk itself, and the content of the message is only three numbers and a punctuation:

922?

……

Coincidentally, that day was September 9, the day before the autumnal equinox.

At the moment when Wen Yuan was stupidly in front of the screen, Yu Wen was coming out of a lecture hall of a certain university in Harbin, carrying his schoolbag and answering messages while discussing with his classmates what to have for lunch.

Wu Li and Yang Shu are standing in a laboratory in Beijing, wearing special glasses, lying next to the instrument to record data.

Di Li propped his head in a certain library in Shanghai, his mobile phone was on silent and placed beside him, and occasionally it would suddenly light up.

Shu Xue changed jobs and was walking on the streets of a certain city in Zhejiang.She gradually lost her memory of many things in the system. She only remembered that she seemed to have had a long dream. In the dream, someone told her that if she had the opportunity in the future, she could meet in this city.

She would meet a shy boy on the street corner she passed by every day. He had just returned to campus after a long absence from school due to health reasons. He would scratch his head and be pushed forward, and said embarrassingly: "My name is Zhao Wentu, I can... ... know you?"

You Huo and Qin Chen had just finished their special training in the morning, greeted Gao Qi, Chu Yue and the others, and walked up the stairs to the deck.

The sky in this season is always high, clear and far away.The sea breeze is humid, with a touch of autumn coolness, and a long cloud falls straight to the sky.

You Huo suddenly thought of the sea in the system, it always winds up on certain days, waves turn up at certain times, it rains at certain times, and it snows at certain times...

Most importantly, it can never see the edge.

All the landscapes of the system are like that, covered with clouds and mountains, without boundaries.

But it's different here.

Here the wind stops when it meets the mountains, and the boat stops when it reaches the shore.

The land behind him stretches over 1 million hectares, and the sea under his feet covers more than 300 million square kilometers.Going south, at most, it can only pass through the clouds and go around the ground.

Everything here has a beginning and an end, but it can accommodate all unexpected encounters and reunions after a long absence.

The world is bright and grand.

Welcome home.
