The direction of completing the system task this time is full of uncertainty. Zhou Xing is full of worries and is under tremendous pressure.
The space tunnel machine was turned on, and Zhou Xiaozhi monitored the space and the universe 24 hours a day. The system mission reached a deadlock.
During this period, Zhou Xing was in a very irritable mood, no longer as calm and confident as before, and had been thinking about the direction to complete the task.
The huge observation room was silent.
Zhou Xing sat in the command position, his face as deep as water, and the scientific researchers in the monitoring room were silently busy with the things at hand, not daring to breathe lightly.
"Boss, it's the home phone number, it's Xiaoyu." Zhou Xiaozhi suddenly reminded Zhou Xingdao.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing came to his senses, his face brightened slightly, and he nodded and said, "Well, let's get through it!"
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded.
Immediately, a young man's face appeared on the holographic screen. His face was somewhat similar to Zhou Xing's. He had delicate features and delicate features. Although he was young, there was a murderous and decisive military temperament between his eyebrows.
However, as soon as the video call was connected and he saw Zhou Xing, Zhou Yu smiled, and his immature face regained a hint of childishness.
"Dad, what have you been busy with recently? You don't even have time to go home for dinner at night, and my mother will start nagging her again." Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing with a look of gloating and reminded.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing glanced at the time displayed on the holographic screen, and his expression changed slightly: "Oops, it's already past 8 o'clock."
"Haha, dad, come back quickly! We are still waiting for you to serve dinner!" Seeing Zhou Xing's expression, Zhou Yu smiled happily and reminded.
"Don't wait for me, you eat first, I'll go back later." Zhou Xing said quickly.
"No, we will always wait for you." Zhou Yu emphasized.
"Okay! That's it when I get back!" Zhou Xing sighed, hung up the video call, and hurriedly walked toward the monitoring room.
Seeing Zhou Xing hurried away, everyone in the monitoring room suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
"Oh! Mr. Zhou, what's going on lately? I have a gloomy look on my face all day long. I feel so horrible!"
"Who says it's not the case! I haven't been working on any big projects recently!"
"How can we guess what Mr. Zhou is thinking! But when he is serious, he is really scary. I don't dare to breathe."
“…”
As soon as Zhou Xing left, the scientific researchers in the monitoring room breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting.
When working with Zhou Xing in the past, although his attitude was extremely serious, he never had irritability, sullen face, impatience... and other negative emotions. After completing the work, they could still joke with Zhou Xing and ask some questions. He is a very kind and good boss who can get along harmoniously.
However, it feels to them recently that Zhou Xing seems to be a different person, with a bad temper and unstable moods, like a bomb that is ready to explode at any time.
"Perhaps Mr. Zhou is under too much pressure! Everyone, please work carefully and everything will be fine." Liu Bin, the person in charge of the monitoring room, looked at everyone and reassured them.
"A lot of pressure? At Zhou Xing's level, what kind of pressure does he have to bear?"
Everyone looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.
…
The Bauhinia Rose Garden was brightly lit, and a Shadow Dancer descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of the courtyard.
Zhou Yu, who was waiting at the door, rushed over and greeted, "Dad, you are finally back!"
Zhou Xing got out of the car and closed the door. He looked at Zhou Yu in surprise, smiled and joked: "The sun is coming out in the west today! Are you waiting for me at the door?"
"What! Dad, I have always been very filial, okay?" Zhou Yu's face turned anxious and he argued quickly.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Xing in surprise and asked warily: "This doesn't sound like what you said? What's the matter with you?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes. How could he have such a father? He must be so rude in his words.
"Don't mention it, your mother is still waiting for me to eat!" Zhou Xing saw Zhou Yu's eyes rolled, his face became serious, and he strode towards the living room.
"Dad, wait a minute, I want to ask you something." Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Zhou Xing's arm and begged.
Zhou Xing turned around and looked at Zhou Yu with a half-smile: "I know your kid won't be too attentive, so tell me! What do you want to ask me?"
Because Zhou Yu was busy with work, he lacked time to accompany him when he was a child. The relationship between their father and son was similar to that of other families. As Zhou Yu grew older, the communication between father and son became less and less. Today Zhou Yu suddenly Standing at the door waiting for him, Zhou Xing was very surprised, and he naturally responded to Zhou Yu's requests.
"Dad, what's going on with the 'Dark Zerg' in 'Civilization'?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing nervously and asked directly.
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little relieved.
Zhou Yu has all his thoughts immersed in the profession of "Interstellar Commander". If he can't figure out the recent changes in "Civilization and War", he will naturally ask himself, because this game was designed by him!
The purpose of the virtual game "Civilization and War" is to allow all human beings to adapt to interstellar civilization, and at the same time, prepare for combat against the imaginary enemy "Dark Zerg". As time goes by, the "Dark Zerg" finally emerges from "Civilization" and war” revealed.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yu strangely and asked with a smile: "What did you ask the 'Dark Zerg' for? Did you suffer a loss?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face turned slightly red, and he looked at Zhou Xing with a look of resentment: "Dad, this new enemy is too powerful, and its design is not reasonable at all."
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yu with a half-smile, and asked, "Well! What do you think is unreasonable?"
"Their fighting power, reproduction speed, communication methods... are unreasonable in many aspects. How can such alien creatures exist in the universe?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing angrily and asked.
In "Civilization and War", human civilization entered the middle of the interstellar era, explored the stars and seas, expanded its territory, and finally encountered a powerful alien life form, the "Dark Zerg", and a fierce racial war broke out, which ended in The human fleet was defeated and ended in defeat. Zhou Yu, who was ranked among the "Interstellar Commanders" of human civilization, was the first to bear the brunt. The confrontation with the Dar Zerg became one of his few failed battles and suffered heavy losses.
Because of this, Zhou Yu couldn't wait to ask Zhou Xing about the Dark Zerg clan.
Zhou Yu was like a wronged child, looking at Zhou Xing angrily, expecting his father to give him an answer.
Facing Zhou Yu's gaze, Zhou Xing smiled slightly and asked: "Civilization and War is a virtual game that highly simulates reality. Who said there are no creatures like the Dark Zerg in reality?"
"I know about the invasion of the Dark Zerg, but their fighting power cannot be so terrifying!" Zhou Yu looked anxious and retorted quickly.
The invasion of the U.S. Federation by the Darhk Zerg caused a huge impact on all mankind. Human beings who originally thought that there were no alien creatures have changed their views. At the same time, the Shining Star Group is fully developing the aerospace field and leading human civilization into the interstellar era. An event that everyone supports.
Zhou Xing pondered for a moment, looked at Zhou Yu and said, "This question is a bit long. Let's talk about it after dinner."
Zhou Yu nodded depressedly and followed Zhou Xing into the house.
When they walked into the restaurant, Zhou Wenhai, his wife, and Tang Xin were already waiting for them at the dining table. The round dining table was filled with food, and the aroma was overflowing.
The Zhou family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner, laughing and having fun at the table.
"Xiaoyu, eat slowly! Aren't you in a hurry?" Ye Huilan asked puzzledly.
Zhou Yu slowed down his movements, lowered his head and said, "I know, grandma!"
After finally waiting for the dinner to end, Zhou Yu couldn't wait to pull Zhou Xing to the side hall and begged: "Dad, tell me what's going on with the Dark Zerg clan!"
Zhou Xing sighed, looked at Zhou Xiaozhi who followed him in, and ordered: "Xiaozhi, release the information about the Dark Zerg!"
"Okay, boss, will the information in the black box be released as well?" Zhou Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Xing and nodded.
Zhou Xing nodded: "Yeah! Let go! Xiaoyu's ambition is to be a battleship commander, which requires more information about alien civilizations."
After hearing the order, Zhou Xiaozhi's electronic eyes projected a holographic light screen, and the battle videos of the ground-burrowing giant insects, floating giant insects, giant insect motherships that invaded the United States Federation, and the video of the pioneers exploring the insect star were displayed one by one.
"Xiaoyu, the United States Federation has been invaded by four waves of insects, namely: cheap worms, ground-burrowing giant insects, floating giant insects, and giant insect motherships. The sickle-footed bugs are large in number and easy to deal with. In order to deal with the ground-burrowing giant insects, The boss invented a 'laser earth drill' and a 'biological detector'. In order to deal with the giant insect mothership, the boss invented a 'giant electromagnetic rail gun', but it was still unable to deal with it. Finally, he used the Miracle Gate to transmit it to the star - The sun; in order to detect the home planet of the Dark Zerg, the boss developed the Pioneer, which discovered 112 types of bugs in seven days, and discovered the general living habits of the Dark Zerg, and the ability to reproduce the race..." Zhou Xiaozhi introduced Zhou Yu in detail to Zhou Yu on the holographic screen. Information Road.
Zhou Yu stared at the holographic screen in horror, his scalp numbing, and his face turned pale in fright at the vast sea of insects on the Dark Zerg home planet.
Zhou Yu stared blankly at the holographic video for a long time, speechless. The powerful Dark Zerg were far beyond his imagination.
Zhou Xing stretched out his hand and pressed Zhou Yu's head lovingly, and asked with a smile: "How is it? What do you think now?"
Zhou Yu looked up at Zhou Xing and said with admiration: "Dad, you are so awesome!"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment, laughed heartily and said, "You brat, when did you learn to flatter me?"
"No way! Dad! I admire you from the bottom of my heart! You have developed so many world-famous products and invented one weapon after another to fight against the Dark Zerg. No one can compare with you. La!" Zhou Yu shouted loudly and looked at Zhou Xing sincerely.
Hearing Zhou Yu's high praise for him with his own ears, Zhou Xing felt as if he had eaten an ice cream in the summer, his heart was chilled, his brows were filled with joy, and he felt extremely comfortable.
Zhou Xing laughed and said with great joy: "You brat, you are so good at talking."
Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing and replied with absolute certainty: "Dad, I didn't say that I was obedient. This is a globally recognized fact!"
"Thank you, Xiaoyu. Dad is in a much better mood now." Zhou Xing laughed, looking at Zhou Yu and nodding with relief.
After a pause, Zhou Xing turned to look at Zhou Xiaozhi and continued to give instructions: "Xiaozhi, show the alien battle to Xiaoyu too!"
"Okay, boss!" Zhou Xiaozhi responded.
Immediately, the holographic screen changed, and a picture of tens of thousands of interstellar battleships besieging an interstellar fortress appeared.
Zhou Yu stared at the holographic screen and his pupils shrank.
"Dad, what are they? Are they a new force in 'Civilization and War'?" Zhou Yu turned to look at Zhou Xing and asked in a low voice.
The scale of the interstellar battle played on the holographic screen is too terrifying. Tens of thousands of flagship-level space battleships fight against a planet-like fortress. Huge energy beams are as dense as rain. The energy contained in each energy ray can destroy a small planet. The existence of the planetary sphere, and what was even more terrifying was the last wave of energy launched by the Star Fortress, which wiped out tens of thousands of space battleships at once, and the affected meteorite groups millions of kilometers away instantly disintegrated.
With such an attack power and such a scale of war, compared to the interstellar battles in "Civilization and War", it feels like playing house.
Zhou Xing looked at Zhou Yu and shook his head, explaining: "No! The latest alien civilization war they observed through the space tunnel machine took place only 27,000 light-years away from us."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's face changed slightly, and he said with an extremely solemn expression: "Dad, if they discover the earth, we have no ability to resist, especially that interstellar fortress. That kind of attack method is too terrifying. I can't understand it at all." ."
"Xiaoyu, that attack method should be an energy weapon at the dark energy level." Zhou Xiaozhi explained to Zhou Yu
After listening to Zhou Xiaozhi's introduction, Zhou Yu perked up, looked at Zhou Xing with bright eyes, and asked impatiently: "Dad, can you invent this kind of weapon? You are so powerful, you must be fine, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing shook his head with a wry smile: "It's impossible. With the current level of science and technology of mankind, it is difficult to discover dark energy, let alone use it to develop weapons applications."
After hearing Zhou Xing's answer, Zhou Yu's expression changed, and he asked with great disappointment: "Why not? You are the most outstanding genius scientist in the world! If you can't develop it, then who can do it?"
"Xiaoyu, this kind of technological generation gap cannot be overcome in a short time. We must accept this fact first and then catch up." Zhou Xing stretched out his hand to press Zhou Yu's head and comforted him.
There is such a big technological gap between humans and alien civilizations. Knowing this situation made Zhou Yu very uncomfortable. However, as Zhou Xing said, this is a fact. The only way is to accept him first and then find a way to catch up.
"I understand, dad." Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing and nodded in frustration.
Zhou Xing smiled and suddenly became distracted. Perhaps the Great Scientist's auxiliary system possessed him and guided him to lead mankind to transcend alien civilization!
Zhou Yu looked at the holographic screen and asked in confusion: "Dad, did they fight so hard? What was it for?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was shocked and asked with bright eyes: "What did you just say?"
"Dad, they are fighting a life-and-death battle! What is it for?" Zhou Yu looked at Zhou Xing with some confusion, not understanding why he had such a big reaction.
Zhou Xing stared at the holographic screen. After being reminded by Zhou Yu, Huo Ran discovered a problem that he had ignored, why they were fighting.
