From combat uniforms to weapons, everything that Adrian brought to the ground from the inside to the outside was designed for him by military equipment experts, fully considering various factors and situations. Unbeknownst to Adrian, he secretly stuffed a felt pendant into his bosom.
To put it more seriously, it is already a violation of military discipline to carry a large object on such a mission without permission. The equipment expert on the scene went crazy on the spot: "Such a big ball! Put it in the innermost part! This journey is so painful." Panic! The perfect close-fitting, breathable and comfortable combat uniform I designed!!!”
The commander of the Third Army reassured the expert and said, "Think of the best, he put him outside the heart, just in case something happens, he can still block the knife."
"I originally designed it to block knives and guns..."
But now no one cares about listening to him explain the design of the combat uniform, Adrian has already put the pendant on it, the pure white passageway is surrounded by soft lights, and the door at the end slowly slides open to both sides.
Adrian stood outside the door and observed cautiously. Inside was a huge circular room—or more like a spherical room squashed up and down. The walls looked white and smooth, without edges and corners. The room was empty, as if there was nothing, but the detector on Adrian's body rang crazily.
"It's here." Adrian reached out and pressed the detector, and said in a low voice, "Podium, I'm going to execute the final stage. Mr. President..." He looked up at the floating camera above him, knowing that his lover was Look at themselves, but none of them can reveal a trace of soft feelings. This is the time when human beings live and die. They are the highest decision makers and final executors. The responsibility on their shoulders does not allow them to fall into the love of children in public at this time. long private emotions. Adrian stared at the camera, his throat rolled twice, and finally he only said: "Please issue an evacuation order."
Fein was slightly startled. Before Adrian left, he told him to let Zhong Yan go to rest. Although Zhong Yan didn't go, he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Fein guessed that besides feeling that he was not a professional, So besides the good habit of not interrupting randomly, Zhong Yan probably also wanted to deliberately mislead Adrian, making him think that he was not in the command hall and had already gone to rest, so that Adrian would not be so worried.
That's why Fein cooperated and didn't mention the president for more than ten hours, as if the president wasn't here. It wasn't until Adrian spoke now that he knew that Adrian knew that Zhong Yan was there from the beginning to the end.
He knew Zhong Yan too well.
Zhong Yan stared at Adrian on the monitor screen. He was scarred but extremely resolute. Zhong Yan suddenly remembered that he was on this planet on the first day they reunited after seven years, and asked Adrian mockingly An: A great ideal is worth abandoning everything and pursuing it desperately, isn't it
Adrian answered him without hesitation at that time: Of course!
Zhong Yan closed his eyes, suppressed the pain in his heart, then suddenly stood up, and said without hesitation: "Thank you to all the soldiers, professors and students who participated in the project for their selfless and outstanding contributions to all mankind. Now, except Everyone except the staff in front of the podium and the rescue team evacuated Xuefuxing."
After the bomb exploded in the depths of the man-made planet full of dirty bombs, I don't know what the impact will be. Just in case, I evacuated the large troops first, and the last spaceship was parked on the square of the Engineering College. If the situation is not good, the people in the command hall can also quickly evacuate.
"Mr. President," Fein said with a glance at Adrian, "please evacuate first."
It’s hard to say that to Adrian, no matter whether the president’s withdrawal is reasonable or not, he is the president’s partner, so it’s selfish to say so. Fortunately, Fein is here, and with years of tacit understanding side by side, he accurately guessed Adrian’s thoughts .
"No. I'm right here, with..." Zhong Yan raised his head and looked at Adrian through the camera, and paused for a moment before saying, "To live and die with human beings."
the liar. Adrian looked away, even though he could only see a camera and couldn't see Zhong Yan's face at all, he was so distressed that he couldn't look at it anymore. He is the only one in the whole world who knows that Zhong Yan doesn't care about the survival of human beings at all.
The president is not an impulsive person who is prone to passion. Now that he has made a decision, no one persuades him. There is not much time left, and everyone is devoted to the final stage of work.
When Adrian stepped into that immaculate white space, the monitoring screen suddenly went dark.
"what happened!"
"what happened?"
"Your Excellency, are you alright?"
There was a panic in the hall, and after several seconds, Adrian's voice sounded again: "I'm fine for the time being, can you see this side? The camera is probably disabled."
Finn grasped the key point and asked, "Probably? You don't know if the camera is still working? What's the situation?"
"I..." Adrian seemed a little confused how to explain the problem he encountered, and finally he managed to organize his words and said, "I am in the universe. At least my vision tells me that I am in the universe, but since I don't Immediately exploded and died, obviously I was still in the atmosphere."
"Your position has not been moved." Fein calmly checked the position of the tracker on Adrian's body, and then glanced at the medical team inquiringly. Wei Lan gave him a positive look, "Your physical indicators are also Very stable, you can be sure that you are still deep in the ground."
"Yeah, I know, it should be visual deception." Adrian replied, his voice was a little unsteady, "I'm going to try to plant a bomb."
That being said, human physical fear is hard to overcome. No matter how many objective evidences there are, his eyes tell his body that he is in the vast and boundless universe, with billions of stars at the far end of his eyes, above his head, and under his feet.
In this huge universe, a human being is so insignificant, but he actually stood up, standing here, safe and sound, it is like a miracle. No one knows if taking a step will cause the miracle to disappear and immediately explode to death
Awe, fear, loneliness and bewilderment filled limbs and bones uncontrollably. Under tremendous psychological pressure, it was hard to remember what those bombs and missions were. In fact, if it was an ordinary person, it might be in The stalemate here has lasted forever, and I can't think about anything.
Adrian breathed lightly, closed his eyes, and the residual image on his retina was still affecting him. His heart rate dropped rapidly after rising rapidly, and he was too quiet. Everyone in the command hall could see that something was wrong with him, and everyone held their breath, as the needle could be heard.
After a few minutes of self-psychological reconstruction, Adrian was barely able to clenched his fists and had no time to adjust slowly. He needed a strong stimulus to push him out of this psychological predicament, so he whispered: "Xiao Yan .”
Everyone in the command hall was stunned, only Zhong Yan responded without hesitation: "I am here."
"Say something to me."
Zhong Yan didn't waste time asking stupid things like "why". Adrian always called him "President" in front of people to show respect. Even before, he would use the honorific "Mr. Zhong" when talking about him with outsiders, but now he is working He was called by his nickname on the occasion, he must have encountered some serious problem. Zhong Yan was anxious and didn't have time to think. He blurted out in a messy mind, "Your salary has arrived this month. You just arrived yesterday. I'm going to open another account to save your salary."
Even at such a tense moment, everyone couldn't help but cast shocked looks at Zhong Yan.
The commander-in-chief's salary is actually managed by the president!
It is said that the commander-in-chief of the last blood-buying incident has gone bankrupt, and the salary is managed by the president. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't have a penny in his hands.
... so miserable.
The object of everyone's sympathy smiled lowly: "Okay, I will handle it up to you."
His heart rate slowly returned to the normal range, and the medical team breathed a sigh of relief.
Adrian took a deep breath and took a step forward.
He is still alive.
The huge psychological barrier was broken, and all normal thoughts came back. Adrian opened his eyes suddenly, he was still in that pure white space.
Without hesitation, he quickly took out the installer and walked to the center to install the first bomb.
Just then, a voice said to him: "Please don't do this."
Adrian pressed the gun on his waist reflexively, and everyone in the command hall suddenly stood up in surprise.
No one would think it was a human voice. How nice it is! It sounds neither male nor female, but it has a natural rhythm, is full of compassion and sacredness, is amiable and awe from the bottom of the heart.
As the only former member present who had contact with artificial intelligence and heard the voice of artificial intelligence, Zhong Yan said in a deep voice: "This is the voice of 'butterfly'."
"How is it possible! 'Butterfly' is still sleeping!" The expert group changed color in an uproar, and they urgently confirmed to Capital Star, which has been connected to the line, that "Butterfly" is indeed still in a dormant state, and the authority to wake up dormancy is in the Capital Star Council, it does not May wake up early on its own.
"What are you? Butterfly?" Adrian asked rudely.
His surroundings changed, a gleam of splendor slowly appeared on the pure white wall, spread in the blink of an eye, and the strange and gorgeous brilliance flowed freely. If the camera was not damaged, Zhong Yan would have recognized it. It was the 'butterfly' descending on the The color of the beam of light on the round table.
The sympathetic voice filled the whole space softly without rushing: "Mr. Art, gentlemen and ladies on the ground, I am the first-generation super artificial intelligence 'cocoon', and this is the core of my main server. Just triggered my activation condition. Could you please tell me what happened?"
All the materials for the artificial planet are specially provided by the Teko Star District. Many experts have expressed doubts about this matter. The Teko Star District is not good at minerals and industries. For materials
Now they seem to be enlightened. What was transported from the Teko star area back then was not a solid surface material—it was the main server of "Cocoon".
"Cocoon" sounded very friendly, and many people involuntarily let go of their psychological defenses. One officer said hopefully: "Great, you have the right to permanently shut down 'Butterfly', right? You can Can you turn off 'Butterfly' for us? There is no time to explain in detail, and 'Butterfly' is about to wake up in a few minutes, we have a federal president here, who can give you something like a power of attorney."
Zhong Yan didn't answer, and frowned slightly.
"Of course." The voice claiming to be "Cocoon" said, "But to use this authority, I need to be fully activated. Can you ask Mr. Art to help me complete this step?"
Following these words, a door slowly opened in the gorgeous circular space. It was not the way Adrian came, but it was also a passage outside. Obviously, it can lead to different functional rooms in all directions.
Adrian stood there without moving. There was always a strong sense of disobedience in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. At this moment, Zhong Yan suddenly said, "Are you really 'Cocoon'? Or like this?" Say, did 'butterfly' really exist?"
