Although he has lived in this messy world for many years, Ed still feels that this is the most absurd thing he has ever encountered, no one - the official Chinese version of TurnA. In the corner of the main screen in front of him is the place where he used to hide the magical conch icon, with a line of Chinese characters written in a watermark that is almost invisible: "Official Simplified Chinese Version".
Originally, there was only this line of words, and he hesitated. After all, it only showed that the manufacturer's native language was Chinese, but behind the line was a funny face that was also almost invisible. The amount of information is so great that Ed doesn't know whether it is better to think first or complain first.
First of all, he can be 100% sure that the maker of TurnA is a fellow, but this fellow doesn't seem to have left any traces in this world, at least he who is familiar with modern history has not seen any traces similar to those who have passed through. If there is another person who has traveled through the current world, there is a high probability that Eddard has crossed, but Eddard cannot find any similar situation in history.
Then even if the maker of TurnA is a fellow countryman, it doesn't mean things are getting better, the problem that should be solved has to be solved by yourself. The only advantage may be that one day when the big guy returns to the moon, everyone will have a chance to get close, and will not be directly killed as ants. But this may be the case. In case of encountering a character who kills and steals treasures, and sees a beautiful woman, Ed feels that his family is even more dangerous.
But this clue is not meaningless, at least it proves that TurnA's developers and his ideas are similar, so he can bring his heart to the TurnA developer's point of view to think about the problem.
Ed's own operating system has a backdoor that only he knows. If the system is tuned to Simplified Chinese, and then slammed into the magical conch 108 times, a special mode can be entered. In this mode, hardware resources can be directly mobilized with the highest authority, but only the most basic operations such as restarting, shutting down, and cutting off the power furnace can be completed.
This is the product of his idle time, and it doesn't matter if someone else finds out. The priority of this mode is above everything else, symbolizing his absolute control over MS as the maker. If the creators of TurnA are as pained as they are...
So Ed started poking funny faces, and the picture didn't change when poking, this was to prevent others from seeing it. After more than 200 jabs and no response, he began to think that the maker of TurnA might not be as boring as himself, but he decided to just in case he got a thousand jabs. After poking at six hundred and sixty-six times, the screen finally changed, and a brand new window replaced the original crash screen.
It seems that the makers of TurnA are even more boring than him...
But it's really similar to his idea, only restarting the shutdown and cutting off the power furnace. Without hesitation, Ed turned off the power stove, and a new small window popped out to ask him for the password, followed by a button to retrieve the password. He pressed it again, and another window popped up that read "In order to prevent forgetting, I wrote down the password on the computer in the center."
"So Your Highness Roland, do you know what 'computer in the center' means? The context center should look like a certain location." Ed now finally knew that CC complained to him that "The encryption system of Heathersley is simply How did you feel when you were insane? "Is there anything that fits the description?"
"How did you find this?!" Roland was shocked and slightly gaffe. "I've been with it for decades, and I don't know that TurnA has such a function?"
"Fate, it's all fate." Ed quickly turned his attention to him, "So does His Royal Highness Roland have a record of this 'computer in the center'? This is probably our only hope."
Roland lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked like he had made up his mind, walked to the side and made a phone call, muttered and explained for a long time, and then said to Ed, "Come with me."
So why don't you just ask Diana directly, why are you thinking about it, and finally you don't want to ask your wife for instructions. Of course, Ed didn't dare to say this, he could only think about it secretly.
Leaving the secret warehouse where TurnA was stored, Harry drove the two of them around for a long time, and finally entered a building. The car has been driving in the closed passage. Ed can't see the appearance of the building, but after getting off the car, he can see that the four walls of the building are made of metal. The corridors inside the building are in all directions and the structure is very complicated. Roland led him around for a long time, and finally passed through a metal door that would automatically open and entered a room.
The interior space of the room is very wide, and there are dozens of meters up and down visually. The wall is still made of metal, and the overall shape is like an upside-down giant bowl, surrounded by smooth curved surfaces. The walls are covered with strange runes that look like circuits, and I can't tell what they are used for, but they seem to have a sense of technology. There was only a huge computer in the middle of the empty room, and the display was glowing.
"If it's the computer in the center, that's all I can think of." Roland led Ed to the huge computer in the center of the room, "This shouldn't be where you are now. Dr. Adrian, forgive me. I'll be blunt, we don't trust each other to this level yet. But now that things have developed, it means that our relationship has to be forced to move forward."
What Roland said before was the truth, and Ed can fully understand it. But the second half of the sentence was very subtle, and he wasn't sure what it meant, so he chose to deal with it silently.
The two walked in front of the computer, and a sentence was prominently displayed on the huge screen: "The current number of MS online is 0".
"This entire device only has this function displayed now, but so far I haven't figured out what this counter is for. It's been decades since I discovered it, and it's always been zero and never changed." Roland raised He started frowning, "It looks like some kind of MS detector? But I don't know what it is detecting. By the way, it can also switch the display language, and there are more than 300 kinds, I haven't tried them all."
"Can I switch to simplified Chinese?" Ed couldn't see the clue for a while. "It's the square-shaped text in the last few. Yes, that's it."
As Roland operated on the console, the entire screen flashed, and then everything changed to Chinese.
"Is it the same number as on TurnA just now?" Roland couldn't understand Chinese and looked at him suspiciously, "What are you going to do next?"
"His Royal Highness Roland, look over there, there is a thin line of text and a cute circular cartoon pattern in the corner." Ed pointed to the funny face on the screen, "I don't know how to use this console, you can think of a way. Order that cartoon? Uh, keep ordering, I don't know how many."
Then Roland kept pressing buttons stupidly under his instigation, and the scene was a bit awkward. Ed was a little regretful. He knew that he had come by himself, and hoped that Roland would not be too careful. Fortunately, this one is not as maddening as TurnA, and it is over after more than 30 minutes. A new window pops up with a combination of two lines of letters and numbers on it. The remarks are the permission passwords of TurnA and TurnX respectively.
"TurnX..." This is not unexpected, but I don't know where TurnX went.
"TurnX, there really is such a thing." Roland raised his palm to stop Ed's hesitating, "Let's talk about this later, you don't have to worry about it, Doctor, Diana and I still trust you. Now we Let's try turning off TurnA first."
After a long journey, the two returned to TurnA's warehouse. In order to do it once and for all, Roland put the core fighter back into TurnA's crotch, and then entered the password he wrote down on the interface just now. Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, and then TurnA's main interface went black, and all the dashboards and lights went out.
"Successful?" Roland tried to turn it on again, but there was no response. "It seems to have succeeded, and the power was completely turned off."
"Great." Ed let out a long sigh of relief, "At least the virus is locked inside, so you don't have to worry about TurnA becoming a threat. Unfortunately, I'm not capable enough to kill it."
"This is already very good, whether we have TurnA or not, nothing beyond our control has happened." Roland was optimistic, "Is Dr. Adrian free next? Diana and I hope to chat with you. "
Half an hour later, Ed had dinner with the Roland couple for the second time in his life, and this time he finally remembered to inform Lux that he would not go home for dinner at night. The dinner was held in a happy and peaceful atmosphere, Roland was still very easy-going, Diana was still very cold, and there was nothing unusual. After dinner, the main topic finally began.
"Dr. Adrian, I'm not going to ask anything about TurnX, and you don't have to explain anything." Roland opened the topic, "Everyone has their own secrets, so do Diana and I, such as our age and appearance. I don't Will tell you what our age is about, but it doesn't stop you from showing a good opinion of us. Also, you somehow learned about TurnX or even TurnA that I didn't know, it doesn't stop me and Diana from treating you Show goodwill."
"The important thing is that you have a sense of belonging to the moon and your home on the moon, which is the basis of our mutual trust." Diana said rarely, "Please tell me and Roland honestly, Dr. Do you think the moon is your home?"
Not expecting to encounter such a sharp question here, Ed lowered his head slightly and began to think. He didn't want to say rashly in order to gain the trust of these two people that Kim Karam was NT, the best polygraph. And it's not just the Roland couple who want to know the answer, he himself also wants to know the answer to this question. Did he really call the house on the moon "home"? Does he really see himself as part of "this world"
"Yes, this is my home." He looked up and said honestly.
When people go to a strange environment, they will instinctively feel out of place, they will have the consciousness of being a foreign body, and they will draw a clear line between me and not-me. Until there is a certain bond that connects people and the environment, and gradually blurs the distinction between familiar and unfamiliar, people feel that "I am probably a person here, right?"
So when did you start feeling this way? Ed wanted to laugh a little, but held it back. It probably started when it was pushed by CC
"I knew I could trust you." Roland gave him a warm smile, "Actually, I had an idea before, but Diana kept saying that it was too early. Now that you have been forced to participate in the inner circle of the moon I'm here, I'll ask you directly. Dr. Adrian, do you want to show your skills on a bigger stage?"
"I don't quite understand, Your Highness Roland." Is this about promoting himself? Director to Minister? "A bigger stage means..."
"It's a pity that your vision and abilities are limited to Anaheim." Roland glanced at Diana quickly, and Diana nodded to him indifferently, "Do you want to join the Moon Government and hold an important position?"
"Uh, don't want to."
