Spy Family

Mao Kongshan drove to Jia City, speeding all the way, almost losing control several times. Lu Yezhou, who was sitting in the car, changed his face every time. Unexpectedly, the historian who looked slightly shy also had a violent side.

There were three vehicles in total, carrying fifteen people, mostly members of the expert team. Mei Wangzhen and Lu Yezhou forced their way in in the name of security.

Along the way, they saw more and more robots, running towards the same destination from all directions, and they were very organized. When they moved forward in a line, they met another team of robots, interspersed with each other, and quickly integrated into a team. , smaller robots ride in self-driving vehicles, and some fly in the air as pilots, deliberately slowing down or flying in circles to maintain a distance from the ground team.

The three vehicles at the base were traveling among the robots. They were relatively wary at first. Seeing that the robots did not show hostility, they took shortcuts and the vehicles got closer and closer to them, sometimes even moving close to them.

"I have never seen so many robots." Lu Yezhou looked out the window with a bad expression on his face, "And with so many models, most of them are not considered 'robots', but can only be considered 'machines', right?"

"Well, there's not even a human figure." Mei Wangzhen also felt the same way.

Although Mao Kongshan was anxious, when he heard the two talking, he couldn't help but said: "You can't judge a person by his appearance, let alone a 'machine'. Whether it has a human form or not is only related to function and has nothing to do with intelligence. The most powerful robot is the management system , there was no shape except rows of servers.”

Lu Yezhou smiled and said: "Professor Mao is not only good at history, but also understands robots."

Mao Kongshan said in surprise: "This is common sense!" Then he sighed, "I don't blame you. Technology is getting more and more developed, and the distance from the public is getting farther and farther. Science popularization has become a technology, and its popularity has To judge the superiority and inferiority has long lost its original intention."

"Professor Mao's words are too profound." Lu Yezhou smiled.

Mao Kongshan looked over, with more surprise on his face, and shook his head, "You are an example."

"What example am I?"

Mao Kongshan refused to answer and concentrated on supervising the vehicle. He no longer felt that Lu Yezhou had academic potential.

It usually takes an hour and a half to drive to Jiacheng, but this time it only took forty minutes, and it was closer to the town than before, stopping only two to three hundred meters away.

Some robots have already arrived and are lining up outside the city, demonstrating the power of oppression in an orderly manner.

No pedestrians were seen in the city, and all residents hid in their homes.

The expert group went straight to the central memorial hall. They guessed correctly. The eldest brother and a dozen more prestigious brothers were here.

As soon as he entered the memorial hall, Mao Kongshan felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Those elderly brothers had always been calm, but at this moment they seemed too calm. They stood still one by one, as if they had turned into statues and become part of the souvenir.

The eldest brother stood in front of the supercomputer and looked up at the ladder, but there was no one on the ladder.

"Eldest brother!" Mao Kongshan said loudly.

The eldest brother turned his head and looked blankly at the group of guests coming in, as if he didn't recognize who they were.

"Eldest brother..." Mao Kongshan came closer and called again. He was the most familiar with the Jiazi people, so he spoke.

"Ah, welcome, my brother, welcome, my guests..." The eldest brother put on the translator and managed to stay calm.

"Why haven't you started the shutdown process yet?" Mao Kongshan asked.

"It started, but it has no effect. It... seems to have failed." The eldest brother once again turned his attention to the supercomputer.

Only then did Mao Kongshan notice that the computer's display screen had been turned on and a certain option was flashing.

"Invalid?"

"We took turns going up, but it didn't have any effect."

"What did the system say?"

“It’s the same thing every time, let’s hit the ‘minimum’ switch.”

"How could it fail? It's a computer, and the response is the same every time." Mao Kongshan was also confused.

Lu Yezhou didn't like thinking, let alone being confused. He walked past Mao Kongshan and said, "Let me give it a try."

Without waiting for the owner's consent, Lu Yezhou had already climbed up the ladder.

The eldest brother opened his mouth twice, but finally said nothing. He was at his wits' end and was willing to try all methods.

Lu Yezhou clicked on the screen several times, quickly came down and said with certainty: "I figured it out."

"What's going on?" Mao Kongshan asked expectantly, completely forgetting the other party's "ignorance".

"Has been hacked."

"Has been hacked?"

"Yes, it means someone else has taken control of it. It's the same as the Rules server."

"Impossible. It has a self-protection program. During the last Guihai rebellion, it was not breached."

Lu Yezhou shrugged, "No computer is 100% safe. It was not hacked last time. This time..."

A stiff voice came from the door, "Hello, humans."

More than 20 people in the memorial hall turned to look at it at the same time.

A robot entered A City at some point and was standing at the door, raising an arm as if to say hello.

Among the many robots that everyone has seen, this one is the most human-like. It has a round head with a nose, eyes, and even a mouth that opens and closes when talking. It has a slender body and is almost 1.8 meters tall. , both arms are equally thin and long, less than twenty centimeters above the ground when hanging down, but the legs are ridiculously short.

At this moment, no one is laughing about it.

"Hello, humans." The robot repeated, paused, and continued: "I bring a message from the master: The Jiazi people must release Chen Manchi within an hour, otherwise, the robot army will enter the town and destroy you. Everything, including your lives.”

The robot's voice was so soft that it was difficult to tell the difference between male and female, but the words it spoke were merciless.

There was silence in the memorial hall, which was then broken by Mao Kongshan's angry voice, "It is indeed Lu Linbei!"

"Impossible." Mei Wangzhen blurted out.

"Isn't Chen Manchi his fiancée?"

Mei Wangzhen was speechless for a moment, and Lu Yezhou responded the fastest, "But Lu Linbei doesn't know how to talk like that, let me do it." He said to the robot at the door: "Who is your master?"

"My master is the owner of the Rules, the heir of the Longitude and Latitude, the future master of the eight planets, the hope and ruler of all mankind, Mr. Ma Xingxu."

More than half of the people had never heard of "Master Ma Youyou", but Lu Yezhou couldn't help but laugh, "That's right, only Ma Youyou can say those words."

The robot did not respond to the taunt, "Hello, humans, you have fifty-eight minutes left, please make a decision as soon as possible."

Mao Kongshan knew who Ma Changyou was, but the anger in his heart did not diminish, "He spoke for Lu Linbei, so Lu Linbei must be responsible for this!"

Lu Yezhou said: "Responsibility is a matter for the future, we must solve the current problem first." He looked at his eldest brother, "I advise you to hand over Chen Manchi. There is no need to sacrifice everyone for one person."

Every wrinkle on the eldest brother's face showed surprise, "Who is Chen Manchi? We don't have anyone named Chen Manchi here. We only have two surnames: Wen and Wu."

"Then there's nothing we can do. The robot won't lie. If it says it's an hour, it won't be wrong by a second. Professor Mao, I think we should leave as soon as possible. It will become dangerous here soon."

"I will never leave." Mao Kongshan puffed up his thin chest, "I will live and die with the Jiacheng brothers. Lu Linbei wants to kill all the Jiazi people, including me."

"And us." Other experts who followed also stood up. They all had a very good impression of the Jiazi people.

"It's impossible for Lu Linbei to do something like massacre, but Ma Xianyou... could do anything." Lu Yezhou tried to make the other party understand the critical situation.

Mao Kongshan was unmoved, "Neither Lu Linbei nor the horse wandering can make us give up protecting the Jiazi people. What happened here today is an unprecedented crime against humanity. We will die, but they The two will receive the punishment they deserve and will be recorded in history as the biggest villains in the past three hundred years."

The robot at the door counts down every few minutes, its voice still soft and not threatening at all.

The situation was serious, and Lu Yezhou began to feel that he could not control it, so he whispered to Mei Wangzhen: "Old Bei...it's not that big of a deal, is it?"

Mei Wangzhen did not answer, but said to Mao Kongshan: "Professor Mao recognizes Lu Linbei, please believe that he still has humanity. But Ma Xianyou is not sure, he has been integrated with the machine, similar things have happened on the Jingwei Once, at that time, he had no hesitation about annihilating mankind, but he just didn't have time to implement it."

"Why did Ke Ma Youyou want to help Lu Linbei?" Mao Kongshan also felt that the Lu Linbei in his memory did not look like a vicious person.

"According to my understanding of Ma Youyou, he only did this for one purpose, to prove his strength."

"Just for this?" Mao Kongshan obviously couldn't understand this statement.

"Well, Ma Youyou is fifteen or sixteen years old, and his mentality is even younger, similar to that of a teenager. He is the only son of Ma Yingying, the president of Jingwei. Does Professor Mao have some understanding of the character of this kind of person? "

Mao Kongshan also came from a big family and knew what a "dandy" was, "But... that won't threaten the entire planet."

"For Ma Youyang, this is a game. Only he can do it or not, without thinking or not. Generally speaking, children like him will vent their excess energy in real games. Unfortunately, , Ma Youyou has greater strength and can treat the real world as a game."

"What should I do? Should I contact his family?"

"It's useless. On the Longitude and Latitude, he even wanted to turn his parents into robots."

Mao Kongshan and other experts were speechless, and more than a dozen Jiazixing people became more and more at a loss.

Mei Wangzhen waited for a while and continued: "At this point, there is only one choice: temporarily obey Ma Changchang, release Chen Manchi, and after the crisis is over, find a way to expel him from the Rules."

Mao Kongshan frowned and said, "Why don't you believe it? Chen Manchi is not on Jiazi Star."

"Don't be so sure." Mei Wangzhen said to his elder brother: "At least contact the people in Zicheng first to confirm that there is no Chen Manchi there."

"If an outsider enters Zicheng, the eldest sister will definitely notify me." The eldest brother felt that this was not necessary.

"Give it a try." Mei Wangzhen insisted.

"Okay, I'll go to the receiver."

Mao Kongshan took out his microcomputer and said, "Time is precious, let's make some changes." As he spoke, he was already connected to the system.

The eldest brother hesitated a few times and said, "Hello, eldest sister, are you there?"

More than ten seconds later, a woman's voice came from the microcomputer, "Hello, brother, we are praying to the system, hoping that it will give a new method."

"Well, I believe the system will save everyone, but I want to confirm that Zicheng has never accepted anyone named Chen Manchi, right?"

"No." The other party's answer was very definite.

Mei Wangzhen interjected: "Has Zicheng not accepted any alien humans recently? It concerns the safety of the entire Jiazi Planet. Please think about it carefully."

The eldest brother cast a dissatisfied look, but a surprising answer came from the microcomputer.

"We have admitted two new sisters. Although they are from aliens, they have always been on our list. They are pure Jiazi people. And... the system has given the answer. Let's pray together, brother, the system will solve it personally. Question, protect all brothers and sisters.”
