MTL - Imperfections-Chapter 127 Who deleted it? why
The night sky is clear.
There is no large gravitational field around the asteroid, and it is far away from other celestial bodies. Therefore, large stars cannot be seen with the naked eye. When the fake sun of the artificial energy tower goes to the other side, the sky will be filled with broken diamonds. When it's clear, it's as close as you can reach it.
The temperature here will always be comfortable 24 degrees Celsius, the night breeze will always be gentle, never receive a word from an alien, and always be silent.
This is a space prison.
In ancient times, the most severe prisons were built on desert islands, surrounded by the sea to prevent prisoners from escape. In the interstellar era, the most severe prisons were built on asteroids and space stations far from the waterway, and surrounded by thick Shield the net to isolate all signals inside and outside.
Squatting in a prison on an isolated island, if you are particularly good in body and luck, jumping into the sea to escape from the prison, there is still a vitality, but how can people in the space prison escape from gravity and fly into the vast universe?
Lin Jingheng originally thought that this was a sub-question. According to the general practice, as long as the "jailer" was killed.
This is his old business, and the planning began from the day when he could barely control his body and stand up against the wall. The opium chip is very powerful, it can make manpower infinite, precisely control electronic equipment, and can also create illusions. The latter two are technical problems. His temporary alliance, Dr. Harden, can be responsible for solving it. Not to mention obstacles, he wants to kill and escape from prison, and has no plans to win in the Wrestling Wrist Competition.
But soon, he found that it didn't work, because Lin Jinglian had no room for work.
Everything on this asteroid can be self-sufficient, and it has a very complete ecological cycle system that can live for thousands of years. Inefficient energy is used on the entire planet. Even if General Lin's mana is boundless, he can use a brainwave to assemble a mech, and it will not fly.
The "jailers" are just like him, they have no means to communicate with the outside world, even worse than his prisoner. They have to work every day to maintain a clean and livable environment in this space prison.
Lin Jingheng didn't believe it at first, because this phenomenon was illogical and not human. Put a group of people who are pregnant with ghosts into a confined space. It is impossible for these people to live in a step-by-step manner like ants. They are generally like the legendary worms in the pot, and it is not surprising that they do something to each other. . After Lin Jingheng woke up, at least a dozen months, he was re-sharpening his body and recovering hard. How could these "jailers" trapped here because of him not want his life?
The strange thing is that these jailers are really like dedicated ants. The guards patrol duty every day, and the medical team takes care of him to the extreme. Anyway, it is better than the eighth galaxy that allows patients to roll out of the medical cabin. The broken hospital is much stronger.
Only then did Lin Jingheng discover the terrible aspects of the space prison.
Here, with the exception of him and Dr. Harden, everyone has a chip implanted on them. The chip seems to invade the "source code" of these people's brains and rewrite them like rewriting programs, even if they communicate very normally and have different personalities. There are some people who have a high level of professionalism and can even be called learned humor ... but they don't have the consciousness of "leaving here" in their minds.
Every time you talk about a related topic, the conversation becomes a conversation with each other, and the other party is unnaturally unable to understand the concept.
When Lin Jinglian was leaving, not only destroyed all the equipment that could be separated from gravity on the planet, but also cleaned the human brain.
On this planet, only he and Dr. Harden will make the action of "looking up at the stars".
Lin Jingheng went up to the top of the building, and the wind of hunting blew the hem of his shirt.
His signal at the 2000th attempt to crack the shielding network failed, and the signal sent to the sea sinked.
However, his mood is still stable-any person has experienced more than two thousand failures, his mood will be very stable. Lin Jingheng lit himself a cigarette, squinting, and soaked in white smoke without a bite. Tobacco leaves are grown on the planet. The guards picked them up, rolled them in paper rolls after drying, and they made up, but they tasted a bit stale, and the cigarettes looked very simple. Lin Jingheng felt that he was living like a prehistoric savage.
"I can't imagine it," someone behind him said suddenly, "Our ancestors of the earth lived on a planet that was not much larger than this, and have been trapped on the ground by gravity for generations. Every night, countless people carried it. At the beginning, they looked at the Milky Way over their heads, but like the chip people, they never felt that the earth was a 'space prison'. They only forged stories for those stars, and never wanted to escape outside. "
As soon as Lin Jingheng tilted his head, Dr. Harden's wheelchair rolled over smoothly. He was older and became a mass of flesh that could not see the outline. Lin Jingheng was always afraid that he would pass by without a breath.
"So, what is freedom?" Dr. Harden continued. "You keep a dying worm in a cabin of a few square meters, and it dies before it can climb the border again. It's on the road all its life. Do you say it's free? You now have a whole planet. Those people below, you let them grow tobacco, and they dare not grow wheat, but you still feel that you are imprisoned. Who are you and the worm? ? "
Lin Jingheng paused and replied calmly: "'I could have tolerated darkness if I had never seen the sun.'"
"'However, the sun has made me desolate and become a newer desolation ... I sipped the sweetness of life, what I paid, tell you, no more, no less, whole life.' (Note)" Dr. Harden answered lowly He said, "An ancient poem that your grandfather liked very much."
Lin Jingheng sighed silently, thinking: Fuck is here again.
Dr. Harden is too old, although most of the time his brain is enough, but it is occasionally confused, and he will pull out his past events when he was young, and will always pull his grandfather Linger, After listening to the same story a hundred times, Lin Jingheng was too lazy to pretend to listen carefully.
He sat down on the spot and shot down the soot downstairs, and continued to figure out how to break through the shielding net, taking Dr. Harden's puppet as background rap music.
"In the last era, the eight major galaxies were full of gunpowder. Some people claimed a political power by occupying one planet and a few satellites around. Every day they were fighting, chaotic, and very cruel. People were imprisoned on the ground like you and me. , Life can not be free, those of us first gathered in a small space station, that is ... Angel City Fortress later. At that time, Brother Lin was one of the backbones, Woolf and I were both young, his Little follower. "
"I remember Brother Lin said that he wants everyone in the world, born with the same dignity, to explore his boundaries for life, to extend the breadth of life infinitely, and everyone can live according to their wishes. You can express yourself freely, and you can come and go anywhere in the universe. "
The founder of the Declaration of Freedom in the early years wanted to smash the cages under people's feet and realize natural human rights and freedoms, but this goal was too illusory, or the fact that the Eden Management Committee did it later-use Eden to brainwash everyone into a hut The bugs in them make them think they have human rights and freedom, and live stupidly and happily.
Lin Jingheng heard the central idea of the Declaration of Freedom. He didn't feel that he was not a very easy person to be touched. He thought: Generally speaking, there are two or three common principles for the shield net of the space prison. Now they have tried countless ways to crack each idea, and they are about to become poor in the **** ... Is it the few that he ravaged in the eighth galaxy? In 1949, the technology of prison screens suddenly improved?
Whenever there is a super computer that allows him to analyze it, the key is that they are now living as primitive people. All the ideas can only be the speculation that a blind cat hits a rat, and every experiment depends on luck. In the past ten years, he may approach success countless times, but because everything is done blindly, even if it is a centimeter away from success, they themselves do not know, maybe after a short while, they changed their thinking.
Think of it this way, even if Lin Jingheng consciously has become an ancient well, he can't help being a little anxious.
Is it possible to wait for unexpected visitors from outside to discover this asteroid?
Dr. Harden is still lingering: "... Linger is our elder brother and has taken care of many war orphans, including me and Woolf. You know, there have been rumors in the early years that Woolf's attachment to him was too strong, beyond Friends in general. "
Lin Jingheng was frowning and twisting his cigarette **** on the ground. Suddenly he heard such a sentence, his thoughts suddenly broke: "..."
What the hell?
"It is said that Woolf was drunk once and repeatedly called Brother Lin's name." Harden had a slightly sly smile on his face. "But it was all catching the wind. It has not been confirmed. Woolf is a mature boy. Linger and his wife have a good relationship. After rumors came out, the two consciously avoided suspicion and did not show up together. Brother Lin and their husband and wife did not see the birth of the alliance. Your father was many years later. He was born with frozen cells. As soon as he was born, Woolf got the custody and he always regarded him as his own. He spent his entire life alone, taught a Lu Xin, and brought up a Lin Wei, and Lu Xin recovered. When the eighth galaxy was promoted to admiral, Woolf was less than two hundred years old, and already had the intention to give power to the next generation. I went to see him once, and I said that he was too optimistic, and the alliance had gone too far. If you continue to do so, the Military Commission will become a tiger in a cage. He will regret it. He didn't believe me ... until the Garden of Eden saw the poor and the alliance was hard to return. Two people who had high hopes in his life died in the Alliance, Eden. Root poison has been headlong into the bones of eight galaxies, the force must be to break this situation. "
Lin Jingheng: "Is this why he colluded with the Star Pirates to come in and kill?"
"Breaking the old one completely will give us new hope. We have already reached the dead end. We have to reset everything to zero and start again." Harden said, "He doesn't have much time to fight and reform slowly, only I can make a desperate attempt-Jing Heng, to tell you this, I want to ask you, if you go out and find that the outside world has a new pattern, will you break all this for revenge? "
Lin Jingheng ignored the others automatically and grabbed the point in his words: "What do you mean, do you have a new idea about how to break the barrier?"
"Fourteen years ago, this asteroid was orbited to a star, and particle flow disturbances awakened you from the sleeping spiritual net," Dr. Harden said. Storm, if I'm not wrong, we have another month, we will go back to the same place, that is when the shielding network is the most unstable, there may be a chance. "
Daystar, the command center of the Galaxy City Base, Turan was very surprised to receive Lu Xing's summons.
Lu Bixing rarely approached her directly, and she had to file documents directly or ask a large group of people to organize a meeting when she had official duties.
In recent years, the eight galaxies have calmed down civil strife, hoarded their armaments, and moved to the road of being a soldier. The military and political parties have cooperated endlessly, and there has been a tacit understanding in the decision to kill. However, Lu Bixing and Tu Lan's personal relationship gradually drifted away. The anesthetic in the elevator drowned this friendship and could never return. The two met occasionally, also called "Chief General" and one called "General Turan". The official nodded and passed by.
Turan immediately connected to his personal terminal: "What's the matter?"
"Mint they did a special research on the wormhole area, and the expedition was ready to set off again to verify the theory. I need you to send an armed guard to accompany you." Lu Bixing said, "We don't know what's going on outside now. The last fishing When it comes to the mech wreckage, if they go further this time, they may encounter other interstellar armed forces, so be prepared. "
Turan responded quickly, but was a little strange in her heart. In this case, Lu Bixing signed an order and went directly to the command center. There was no need to come to her and say, "Okay, Chief, what instructions?"
Lu Bixing hesitated for a moment: "There is one more thing, I want to ask you, when Lin escaped from the heart of the rose and was assassinated. Was there any connection with you until the war broke out? He will come to the eighth galaxy, in advance Is it planned? "
"Well ... strictly speaking, it ’s not always connected. We were still in the Silver Fortress at that time, and the signal would be intercepted. We had to get out of the Silver Fortress and re-establish the remote contact before he designated the place. He would Going to the eighth galaxy was indeed planned in advance. The eighth galaxy is not under the control of Eden. "Turan said this, remembered something, and added," but he moved faster than I thought. Zhanlu is Zhanlu—how? "
Lu Bixing gently raised his eyebrows—when he picked up Lin Jingheng, Zhanlu ’s energy consumption was completely dry and in standby mode. Lin Jingheng ’s eco-cabin floated out of Beijing ’s β star for some time, and because he owed Mishandling, Lin Jingheng was forced to lie in the ecological cabin for more than three months ... Can this still be regarded as "moving fast"?
Lu Bixing had some doubts that Lin Jingheng did not float back according to the planned route, but passed through the wormhole area of the heart of roses.
Turan said: "The specific plans are recorded in Zhanluli. I have been waiting for the order with Baijiu. It is better for him to know the details."
Lu Bixing nodded at her absently and cut off the communication-Zhanlu did not have this record, and all records about Lin Jingheng's eco-cabin did not exist on Zhanlu. The explanation given by Zhanlu himself was that he was out of power at that time. standby mode.
But ... Is the standby so thorough?
I always feel that this silly AI has been manually deleted.
Lu Bixing first thought of this problem because he was worried that others would know that the wormhole area of the Heart of Roses would cause security risks to the eighth galaxy. Therefore, he went to Zhanluli to find the records of that year. He did not expect to find some of the records There are traces of being deleted.
Very fragmented, and some of them seem to be related to Cyclops.
The most obvious place, Lu Bixing clearly remembers that at the time, at the Sister Sister Base, Lin Jingheng overturned a whole team of Yuan Renren alone, and was retrieved by him. Soon after he returned, it seemed that he was alone with the one-eyed eagle. A quarrel-he saw it through surveillance at the time, and turned the camera to draw the attention of the two.
But there is no record.
Who deleted it? why?
Lu Bixing slipped to the cemetery and stood in front of the one-eyed eagle tomb: "Did you two have something to hide from me?"
The one-eyed eagle was silent.
At the end of May 293, the new star calendar of the alliance, the eleventh year of the eighth galaxy's independent era, the interstellar expedition crossed the wormhole area for the second time and entered the human forbidden area, the heart of roses.
An asteroid on the outskirts of the sixth galaxy orbited to the closest position to the star after fourteen years.
In the same year, the glory group president who held the first galaxy and confronted the alliance for more than ten years was assassinated by his men, and the glory group officially surrendered.
Countless complex lines of history converge at one point-
