Although there was a delay of more than an hour, Qi Yan's progress was still the fastest among the three. Ye Pei's plan required thirty hours, but Qi Yan had completed most of the content in less than half the time.
The last step is to import his part of the data sequence into the artificial chip. This process only requires someone to watch over it to prevent any errors from occurring during the process.
Coming out of the equipment room, Lu Fenghan asked Qi Yan: "Not waiting for your data import to be completed?"
"No waiting, nothing will go wrong." Qi Yan thought the table was too hard, so he lay on Lu Fenghan's thighs and slept for a while, barely relieving his fatigue.
Seeing that he still looked tired, Lu Feng suggested, "Walk for a walk?"
However, there was really nothing to do in the basement of the equipment center. There were straight corridors in front and behind, and the walls were all made of cold metal without a single gap. Without looking at the indicator lights, it was impossible to tell where the door of the equipment room was with the naked eye.
Seeing Lu Fenghan's eyes fall on the wall, Qi Yan told him: "This design is to prevent those who do not have permission and use other means to enter from finding the target equipment room easily." He also mentioned, "This time is different from the time Turan was attacked."
Lu Fenghan understood what Qi Yan meant by "different". "After the attack on Fontaine No. 1 and Laurent's collusion with Mantis, not only did Turan conduct a thorough investigation from top to bottom, but military intelligence personnel also screened all personnel in several important locations and found many hidden people who were connected to the rebels. This place, as the Super Light Computer Equipment Center, is of course included.
If the hidden stakes here had not been completely eliminated, the rebels would definitely not have gone to the trouble of entering the internal network and trying to shut down the defense system. "
Qi Yan: "Instead, they will do the same as Turan did, and have the people inside shut down the defense system so that the light pressure bomb will fall directly in front of them, right?"
"That's right." Lu Fenghan didn't show any optimism. "The most complicated thing is the human heart. Once this batch of hidden stakes are cleared out, new ones will grow up in less than half a year."
Therefore, there is never any room for maneuver. Either you cut the weeds at their roots, or you keep the tiger as a threat.
Qi Yan felt the fierce aura that Lu Fenghan exuded at that moment: "You are so fierce."
Lu Fenghan laughed when he heard this.
Is he fierce
Except for the first time when he pushed the person against the wall and pinched Qi Yan's wrist, leaving a circle of purple bruises, Lu Fenghan had never said a single harsh word!
Lu Fenghan felt that the entire Central District could not contain his injustice.
He asked Qi Yan with great interest: "I am so fierce, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid," Qi Yan said confidently, "You are not mean to me."
Lu Fenghan laughed again.
Yes, yes, yes, who dares to be mean to you
The sharp lines of his facial features seemed like thick ink smudged by water, softening them several degrees.
After walking in the maze-like corridor for half an hour, Qi Yan took Lu Fenghan back.
Lu Fenghan asked him: "Don't you need a light to lead the way?"
"No, I remember the way."
Looking at the unchanging, unmarked corridors around him, Lu Fenghan gained a better understanding of Qi Yan's memory level.
There was a sound of footsteps. Lu Fenghan habitually looked at the person who was coming and saw that the other person was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, dressed like a scholar in the public's perception. He was holding a clipboard and passed by Qi Yan and Lu Fenghan, nodding politely.
When the others disappeared around the corner, Qi Yan stopped where he was.
Lu Fenghan retracted his gaze and lowered his voice to ask, "Do you also think there is a problem?"
Qi Yan raised his eyes to look at him: "Catch up?"
This decision suited Lu Fenghan's wishes very well: "Let's go."
Perhaps noticing the footsteps approaching, the middle-aged man turned around and asked politely, "What do you two need?"
Lu Fenghan said immediately: "On the way."
The middle-aged man seemed a little skeptical: "Are you going to the eleventh underground floor as well? If not, then you've taken the wrong path. This only leads to the eleventh underground floor."
At this time, the three of them had arrived in front of the elevator.
The middle-aged man showed the personal terminal installed on his wrist, and then looked at Qi Yan.
Qi Yan scanned his personal terminal, and the system prompted "Passed."
The middle-aged man said nothing more, and the three of them stepped into the elevator car.
Just as Lu Fenghan was observing which side to launch the attack from so as to subdue the middle-aged man in one fell swoop, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qi Yan standing in his direction. Then, when Qi Yan attached his personal terminal to the metal wall, Lu Fenghan discovered that a rectangular grid suddenly protruded forward from the metal wall.
Qi Yan reached in and took out—
A gun
Lu Fenghan raised his eyebrows.
Holding the gun, Qi Yan moved two steps towards Lu Fenghan's position. The next second, the gun fell into Lu Fenghan's hands.
The Burlock 17 is pretty handy.
As it turned out, Qi Yan's judgment of taking out the Brock pistol was correct. At the same moment when the elevator stopped on the eleventh floor underground, the middle-aged man took out a folding pistol like lightning, but the moment he pointed it at Lu Fenghan, Lu Fenghan kicked him hard and the weapon was removed.
With a "bang", the folding pistol fell to the ground.
Putting the muzzle of the gun against the middle-aged man's brow, Lu Fenghan sneered with a hint of hostility at the corner of his lips: "You can't even hold the gun steadily, so what? You still want to kill people?"
The middle-aged man didn't move at all, looking at Lu Fenghan and Qi Yan inquiringly. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Lu Fenghan: "Okay, if you want to say that you are from the ISOC headquarters and you had to draw your gun to deal with us because you found us suspicious, forget it, no one will believe it."
Lu Fenghan had heard this excuse at least a thousand times, and was often amazed at the identicalness of human thinking.
Qi Yan at the side spoke up, "There is only one super optical computer, Galaxy, on the eleventh underground floor. It is one of the most powerful super optical computers in the alliance. Projects that use Galaxy are highly classified and have strict requirements. One of the requirements is that no equipment is allowed to be brought in or out during the project, including recording boards."
The middle-aged man then realized that the reason he was exposed was because of the recording board in his hand that he used as a disguise!
He concealed all the subtle expressions and only answered Qi Yan's question: "You really misunderstood. The recording board is what I usually carry with me. I was careless and didn't pay attention to it. I will definitely hand it over and dispose of it when I get there. You can check my access permissions. Don't worry, I won't hold you responsible for the rash attack."
In the alliance, scientific researchers have a very high status, especially those who can enter and exit the eleventh underground floor, who are even more extraordinary. If it were someone else, they might have concerns. However, Lu Fenghan and Qi Yan, one never doubts his own judgment, and the other has no concerns at all, so they just pretended not to hear.
Qi Yan ignored the middle-aged man's argument and told Lu Fenghan: "The intrusion that triggered the firewall alarm just now should be to cover up the truth. The ultimate goal is to divert the attention of the security center of the ISOC headquarters and take the opportunity to gain access to the eleventh underground floor from the intranet.
Therefore, the idea of shutting down the defense system of the ISOC headquarters is fake, and the pursuit of more than a thousand temporary sites is just a delaying tactic. The real target of the rebels is on the eleventh floor underground."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but Lu Fenghan was too lazy to listen. He lifted the middle-aged man's collar and saw a patch of skin on the back of his neck that was two shades whiter than the surrounding area. He stopped talking nonsense and knocked the man unconscious. He then tied the middle-aged man's hands with the bandage he brought with him.
After Qi Yan notified the people at the ISOC headquarters security center through the intranet, the two returned to the seventh underground floor.
Seeing Qi Yan had finished deleting the surveillance records, Lu Fenghan asked, "You just said that the rebels' real target is the eleventh underground floor. What project is going on there?"
Qi Yan did not hide it: "The task that Professor Fu assigned to us before was related to the expansion of the starship's central control system. Now that our task has come to an end, then, according to the normal progress, this project should carry out the first phase of simulation testing. The central control system is very large, and in Leto, only the 'Galaxy' can fully support the test."
"So their target is the military starship central control system again?" Lu Fenghan sneered, "They are really ruthless."
Qi Yan didn't mention it, so he didn't return the Burlock 17. He asked again, "What's that gun?"
"There are many guns. As long as you have the permission, you can get them from the secret compartments on every wall. These guns are used to deal with emergencies and are prepared for emergencies."
"So that's why the gun is equipped with a ballistic corrector?"
The trajectory corrector is a burden to those who know how to use a gun, but for those who have never touched a gun, it is an aid to improve the aiming rate - it can basically allow a novice to improve from hitting a person with ten shots to hitting one with seven or eight shots.
"Yes." Qi Yan asked, "How did you find out?"
"When this person was holding the clipboard, there were calluses on his palms, which are usually only found on people who hold guns. When he passed by us, his muscles tightened and he was obviously nervous. Based on experience, I knew there was something wrong with this person. In addition, the rebels like to tattoo their emblems on the back of their necks, believing that this will bring them God's blessing. However, when they enter the Alliance's territory, the tattoos will be temporarily washed off, so the skin on the back of their necks will turn white."
After Lu Fenghan finished talking about business, he saw that Qi Yan had a tense expression all the time, and couldn't help but poke his fair cheeks twice: "What's wrong, who made you unhappy?"
Qi Yan glanced at him.
Lu Fenghan didn’t understand how he had offended Qi Yan: “Tell me about it?”
After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yan spoke: "That's my bandage."
Lu Fenghan was stunned for a moment.
Is this little squeamish girl so possessive
After nearly ten seconds of silence, Lu Fenghan finally chuckled, "Yes, yes, it was your bandage. I had to use it because of the special circumstances at the time."
Pray and don't speak.
Lu Fenghan held Qi Yan's arm, not using any force, and only let him see the bow tied with a bandage near his wrist: "Look, aren't you still tied up?"
Qi Yan ignored him, used his personal terminal to swipe open the door of the equipment room, and walked in.
Before long, everyone in the equipment room received a notification about the safety inspection.
It seems that the people who stayed in the elevator have been taken away, and the people in the security center are checking whether there is anyone who has illegally obtained access.
Since the action has already begun, it is none of his business. Lu Fenghan began to worry about how to coax Qi Yan. He couldn't help but wonder why Qi Yan was so... obsessed with the bandage bow
Ye Pei and his team still had more than ten hours to go before the end, so Qi Yan didn't need to wait in the equipment room. He just said hello and left.
It was morning when he went in, but it was already the early morning of the next day when he came out. Two moons were adorning the night sky. Lu Fenghan was wondering why the rebels were so eager to get the starship's central control system, while at the same time thinking about how to appease Qi Yan.
It wasn't difficult for him to do two things at once, but he couldn't come up with a solution to either problem, which made him a little annoyed.
When they got home, Qi Yan went upstairs to take a shower as usual. Lu Fenghan sat on the sofa, thought about it, and called Vincent.
Vincent said in a condemning tone: "Commander, calling in at this time will affect the subordinates' nightlife!"
Lu Fenghan was merciless: "Do you have a night life?"
Vincent, who had been single since birth, choked hard, and noticed that Lu Fenghan seemed to be in a bad mood, so he asked tentatively: "Commander, is your endocrine system disordered because of the lack of satisfaction in that aspect?"
Lu Fenghan pinched his eyebrows.
It seems that the expeditionary force was shrouded in some strange magnetic field, which attracted so many unreliable subordinates to him.
He first mentioned the intrusion of the ISOC headquarters intranet. "Whether it was Weiss inserting people into the technology at the front line, the attack on Fontaine 1, or today's incident, the rebels' target is the starship central control system, and they are very anxious."
Vincent: "Maybe he is planning to do something big and get the central control system as soon as possible to increase his chances of winning. By the way, during this period, the rebels are stepping up their efforts to track down the number one on the blacklist. It is said that they have found several suspected targets, but in the end they were all confirmed to be the wrong ones."
Hearing him mention Y, Lu Fenghan chatted a little more: "This time, the information about Y was not shared with the military. I think they were worried that the military would not be able to keep the secret and expose Y's location."
"I think it's good. Who in the military knows what is good and what is bad? Ensuring safety is the most important thing. It's best if no one knows." Vincent was very perceptive. "Commander, you came to me in the middle of the night just to talk about this?"
After a few seconds, Lu Fenghan asked, "What if you make someone angry?"
"I know that!" Vincent suggested confidently, "Take them to the training ground and have a fight! No matter who wins or who loses, all the grudges will be cleared!"
Lu Fenghan felt that he had asked the wrong person.
He rubbed his brow again: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
Vincent wanted to continue giving advice, but Lu Fenghan cut off the communication without hesitation.
Three o'clock in the morning.
The door of Qi Yan's bedroom was gently pushed open. Lu Fenghan took out the results of years of training and walked quietly to the bed.
The light outside the window was dim. Lu Fenghan had good night vision. He saw Qi Yan lying on his side on the bed with a very proper sleeping posture. There was no sign that he would snuggle into someone's arms in the middle of the night.
Lu Fenghan moved gently and first took off the bandage that had been tied on Qi Yan's hand for quite some time. Under the bandage, the skin on his arm was cold, white and delicate, and the red marks had long since disappeared.
He took out a new roll of bandage and wrapped it in the same position as before.
After wrapping his left arm, Lu Fenghan stared at the other side, sighing inwardly. Finally, he followed suit and wrapped it a few times on the same position on his right arm, tying a neat bow.
This should calm you down, right
