"Out!"
When everyone cracked the encryption code of "Adam", everyone in the technical department couldn't help but let out a cheer, and the group of "shield bearers" representing each continent and region immediately gathered at the computer Currently, we are waiting for the release of new information about "Adam".
"What's going on? It's encrypted information, why can the technical department crack it?"
"Who knows, I heard that the technical department didn't spend any effort at all, but this matter is related to super-intelligent Adam, maybe it has some deep meaning."
"This computer is really amazing..."
Many "shield bearers" gathered in the conference room and kept talking anxiously and excitedly. It was not until the chairman of the quantum theosophy conference spoke that everyone became quiet.
"I believe everyone knows the reason for this emergency meeting."
This is an old man from Europe. He said excitedly, "I won't say any more nonsense. Next, there is the video information decrypted by the technology department. Please take a look..."
Following the old man's words, the screen in front of everyone suddenly opened, and a video that was only ten seconds long appeared in front of everyone.
But to everyone's disappointment, the picture in the video was not a shocking secret, but a female statue facing everyone with her back, her head lowered, and her hands raised as if covering her eyes.
The lines on the statue are smooth and the texture is extremely delicate, as if it was carefully carved. What is even more eye-catching is that there is a pair of soft wings on the back of the statue.
Anyone who looks at it can understand at a glance that this statue is nothing else but an angel.
This video lasted only ten seconds and ended almost before everyone could recover. After watching this video, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Everyone felt disappointed.
What is this, a prank by "Adam"
"That's it?"
One of the "shield bearers" spread his hands and looked at the chairman of the Quantum Theosophy Conference, "Are you sure the technology department didn't change the screen?"
"The technical department is absolutely loyal. What you said is impossible."
The old man shook his head, "Maybe 'Adam' wants to tell us a secret through this video."
"I guess so… "
Suddenly, the conference room became noisy again.
But this group of people didn't notice that when they turned their heads and argued loudly, the statue that was frozen on the screen slowly turned its head...
…
At the same moment, in the Los Angeles City Hall, Mayor Parsons was angrily rubbing his temples and stacking a thick pile of information in front of him.
A few minutes ago, the police chief in charge of Los Angeles' security had been scolded so much that he rolled away from the city hall, escaping from Paroson's angry roar.
"They are all a bunch of pigs who only know how to eat dry food. They don't have anything useful at the critical moment!"
When he thought about such a heinous murder, Parsons became furious. He pushed the report off the table and cursed in a low voice.
"Mr. Mayor, there is probably a vicious murderer hiding in Hairank District."
The staff on the side reminded in a low voice, "What we need to do now is to seal off the Hairank warehouse area, take out all the workers inside, and conduct strict interrogation of everyone, because there is a high chance that the murderer Still hidden in the warehouse district.”
"Is the other party that stupid?"
Parsons looked at the staff with a cold face.
"That's not the case, Mr. Mayor."
The staff did not panic at all, but instead vowed, "Obviously, so many people died at the hands of that murderer. This has exceeded the scope of vendetta. Therefore, I suspect that these murder cases are actually random killings, which means that the other party It is very likely that he takes pleasure in killing people. This kind of person's spirit has long been distorted and cannot be treated with common sense."
After hearing this, Palo Sen began to think deeply. Obviously, what the other party said made sense.
"Of course, I'm just speculating. Anyway, it's just a try. We can also send the police to conduct a blanket search in the Hairank warehouse area. Even if we can't catch the other party, it would be good if we can curb the murderer's actions. of."
The staff continued to persuade.
Hearing this, Parsons finally nodded, "Then let's follow your method. We will blockade the Hairank warehouse area and dispatch..."
Before he could finish speaking, the computer on Parson's desk dinged and turned on by itself.
The two heard the sound and looked over at the same time. After seeing the computer turn on by itself, Parsons frowned. He stretched out his hand as if to turn off the computer again, but the next second, a crisp little girl's voice unexpectedly came out. It came out from the computer—
"Sir Parsons, I do not recommend you to do this."
On the computer, the girl said in pure English, "If I were you, I would directly seal off the Hairank warehouse area and wait for orders from superiors, instead of sending police forces to the Hairank warehouse area to die without permission."
"who is it!"
When they heard that the computer actually spoke on its own, both of them looked surprised, and the staff member even exclaimed, "It's a hacker, and the other party is stealing our conversation just now!"
As he said that, the staff was about to notify the guards outside, but Parsons hesitated and finally stopped him, "Listen to what she said."
Seeing Parolson's order, the staff glanced at the computer uneasily.
I saw that the computer at this time no longer had an interface such as windows. Instead, it turned out to be a pure black screen, and there was a red logo pattern on the screen, and the specific content of the pattern was three lowercase letters. The letter i'.
Three 'i' letters circle the city, with two arcs between them, forming a radial ring. The structure is like the symbol of nuclear radiation.
Under the icon, there is a line of letters:
Infohazard.
Information Hazards.
"Mr. Parsons, I do not recommend that you send police forces to Hairank District."
At this time, the little girl's voice continued to persuade, "Because this will not help, and it may also trigger a more intense memetic infection."
Hearing this, Parson frowned. He waved his hand briefly. The staff seemed to understand something immediately and hurriedly retreated, as if he wanted to call someone over.
"Memetic infection, what is that?"
Parson's voice continued to remain cold, without any mention of what he had just done.
"Memes belong to a discipline that humans have not discovered so far."
The little girl’s voice spoke eloquently, “I believe you should know that the essence of living things is continuation, and continuation is the fundamental purpose of life. The reason why life can continue is because of the continuation of genes. Genes have inheritance, mutation, etc. and other characteristics, they support the basic structure of life and store all information about life’s race, blood type, pregnancy, growth, apoptosis and other processes.”
"At the same time, in addition to heredity, genes also have the characteristics of mutation and selection. Otherwise, our current biological world would not be so ever-changing. But did you know that in addition to genes, there is another kind of disease that has the characteristics of transmission, selection and mutation at the same time? A characteristic thing?"
"What is it?"
When he heard the question from the voice on the computer, Palo Sen's expression flashed and he asked calmly.
"It's a meme."
The little girl continued, "A meme is like a special kind of information that spreads and mutates through human cognition. It can change human perception of things, change the structure of matter, and even change the rules of reality. If the system is not good, even the entire Earth Federation will be destroyed because of this, and what is happening in the Hairank Warehouse District now is a serious memetic effect."
Hearing this, Palo Sen's expression changed, and he showed a disdainful smile, "Is this an 'information hazard'? So, what should we do?"
"My suggestion is to cordon off the Hyrank warehouse area and put everyone who has entered it into quarantine to stop the spread of the meme."
As she said that, the little girl suddenly changed her words, "But it seems that you don't believe what I said, otherwise you wouldn't have sent your staff to launch the Los Angeles network reconnaissance team to trace my IP."
Palo Sen's expression changed. "So you think I would trust a hacker who hides his identity and doesn't even want to show up?"
"You have no choice but to follow my advice."
The little girl's voice continued without emotion, "Otherwise, all of you will die."
"Killed by what you call memes?"
Parson's expression turned cold, and he was obviously not interested in the threats on the computer.
"No, it's because I've sent the Black Knights to plant fifty plastic bombs in City Hall."
The voice continued without emotion, "If you are unwilling to listen to me, then the entire city hall will collapse into ruins in an instant. This is not a joke to you."
"you!"
After hearing these words, Palo Sen's expression changed. He was about to get angry, but just then, the phone on his desk rang without warning.
When Palo Sen heard the call, he saw that the caller information on the phone was the number of the Office of the President of the White House.
When Parsons picked up the phone and heard the order coming from inside, his face became even uglier, because the White House only sent him one order:
Seal the Hyrank warehouse area!
…
When Xiao .
Lying between the Rocky Mountains, this place is called the "backbone" of North America, stretching more than 4,800 kilometers from north to south. At this time, even Chen Chen's forehead was sweating slightly.
Finding a building in such a vast area of mountains is about as likely as finding a needle in a haystack, not to mention it is still dark. If Chen Chen were to search by himself, it would probably take him several months to find the headquarters of the Earth Federation Quantum Laboratory.
Fortunately, with the help of Little
When he arrived here, Chen Chen began to lower his flying altitude. After all, as the top secret of the entire Earth Federation, this place was heavily guarded. If he flew too high, he would be easily detected by radar.
After lowering the altitude, Chen Chen got out of the supersonic state and flew at a low speed for ten minutes. After flying over several checkpoints and a military base, he finally found the target of his trip. That quantum laboratory that can shield all radiation.
The quantum laboratory has a square structure as a whole, standing in the endless forest, but because it is painted with protective color, it is very inconspicuous. Fortunately, Chen Chen's eyesight can easily see it clearly.
When Chen Chen approached the laboratory, his contact device also began to receive strong interference, and as he flew closer and closer, the interference continued to increase, and eventually he was completely disconnected from Xiao X.
"It's only been an hour since the meme was leaked, so I hope I can catch up."
As Chen Chen continued to lower his altitude, he soon reached the sky above the laboratory. However, after seeing the scene on the ground, Chen Chen's heart suddenly sank.
There was already a mess outside the door of the laboratory. Dozens of guns were discarded on the ground. The regional flags of various continents were also scattered on the ground. Several corpses could even be seen on the road.
Among these corpses were soldiers in military uniforms, researchers in white coats, and "shield bearers" in suits and leather shoes.
But the necks of these corpses were twisted more than 360 degrees, like long twists.
The fear before death and the pressure caused by the broken neck oppressed the eyes of the corpses. All the corpses had eyes wide open, as if the eyeballs would fall out of their sockets in the next second, which looked extremely horrifying.
But these were nothing to Chen Chen. He just looked in the direction of the laboratory with a solemn expression, but saw that as the ultimate secret of the Earth Federation, this quantum laboratory even had its door open. There are also researchers who have long since scattered the trees and fled into the depths of the forest.
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen knew that he was late. The meme had completely spread and infected the core center of the Earth Federation.
However, Chen Chen did not rush to the forest to search. At this point, the spread of memes was inevitable. At this time, he focused on the most mysterious laboratory in the federation. Perhaps there was something in it. There might be clues related to memes.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen walked straight into the laboratory.
