On the evening of May 16th, it was near ten nautical miles north of Iceland.
A hundred meters below the sea surface, there is a dome-shaped submarine factory hidden. Inside the dome, an unfinished submarine was parked in the center of the factory. The submarine was ten meters high, eight meters wide, and about ninety meters long. Many toy dwarfs, wearing green clothes, green hats, and pointed cloth shoes, about one meter tall, were busy working inside and outside the submarine with brisk steps. If these dwarfs were not making weapons but producing toys, this place might be suspected of being Santa Claus's nest.
In a computer room above the factory, there is a young man in his early twenties, about the same age as the consultant. He is currently lying on a huge sofa. The armrests on both sides of the sofa are equipped with complex operation panels and keyboards. His In front of him is a 120-degree arc-shaped surround display screen. There are more than a dozen small split screens on the screen. Some screens are filled with puzzling data, and some screens show the structure of a certain part of the submarine. Drawings, and some are feedback information and instruction needs of the toy dwarfs.
This man, whose extreme hand speed is as fast as an epileptic seizure but can still accurately control every movement of the computer, is called a warlock.
Almost every genius can do some amazing things in childhood, and warlocks are no exception.
When he was in the third grade of elementary school, he spent a week completing the first formal and complex application in his life - "Niao Ke", also called "knock, knock".
This thing is very simple to use. First, install "Naoke" on your mobile phone, laptop, portable smart player, or even SP (electronic pen with functions of recording, writing, scanning, mobile hard disk, etc.). Then, no matter what kind of electronic device you install this program on, when you walk to an electronic door, you just need to press a button and wait for a few seconds to a minute, and the door will open...
The original intention of Warlock designing this program was to deal with the problem of always being late for school. But later, several senior classmates who bullied him in school discovered Warlock's little secret, and under the threat of force, they downloaded Warlock.
Before the end of the semester, the entire families of those classmates were arrested. Anyway, the warlock never heard from any of them again. He only knew that the incident was related to the robbery of several banks in the city. .
In the end, the police found Warlock, sent a police officer to talk to Warlock, confiscated his program, and strictly ordered him not to write similar things in the future. After this incident, the name Philip Nord (the warlock's real name) was included in the list of special people that HL needed to pay close attention to.
Two years later, Warlock, who was in the fifth grade of elementary school, accidentally watched an old movie "Terminator 2". After that, he went to an old movie rental store and completed the entire series. He was surprised that a man in the 20th century As for the idea that someone thought of, why hasn’t it been implemented yet
So, when he was in the second grade of middle school, after several years of hard work and hard work, he finally completed a thing called "Skynet". In order to celebrate this small success, the happy warlock hacked into a news website in Tiandu and scrawled a line of words like graffiti on the pages of boring reports praising others: just for fun, xd.
Because his tactics were so sharp, the relevant departments were unable to find his whereabouts through technical means in a short period of time. Later, they could only track down the warlock through various hardware restrictions, elimination methods, and traditional criminal investigation methods.
After being arrested, the warlock was sent to the HL headquarters in Tiandu.
The person in charge of the interrogation is a major-level HL agent named Kou Linzai. His position is not high, but his status is not low. In terms of aristocratic status, he is already a viscount, and he also married a royal family as his wife. . Unfortunately, his wife died young and he became a widower. As a noble who has obtained royal status, he is only twenty-five years old, and he is awakened by his handsomeness every day. It stands to reason that a man of his condition should have at least a dozen young and beautiful women vying for him after his wife dies. Throw yourself into your arms. But Kou Linzai really didn't seem to be ready to renew his relationship. After his wife passed away, he carried a wine gourd around his waist all day long and took a few sips when he had nothing to do. He looked drunk wherever he went, no matter if it was work or rest time. , with this appearance, in the eyes of outsiders, he is already a hopeless guy. But that person's identity is there. As long as he insists on coming to work in HL, you can't fire him. As time goes by, people will give him the nickname "Zuijue".
On this day, Mr. Zuijue held the warlock's file under his arm. He walked into the interrogation room with a mixture of crab steps and zombie steps, pulled out his chair, sat down as if he had fallen over, crossed his legs, and opened the file folder. After flipping through a few pages, he still muttered something: "Well... Secondary 2... Skynet... still fun..." He suddenly closed the file and slapped the table, glared at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old warlock, and took a long breath and said: "Say! What is your purpose for coming to Earth?!"
This was the rough outline of Warlock's first official arrest, and the only arrest in his life.
The upper echelon of Tiandu means that the first way to deal with this young man is to find a political commissar to give him a few years of major classes to cleanse his brain so that he can serve the empire in the future; the second way to deal with this boy is to throw him directly into the Tidal Prison to wait for death. Let him choose his own path. The Warlock's choice is to pretend to agree to the first option. After leaving Tiandu, he ran away on the way to the place of house arrest.
Later, there were rumors that it was the drunken master who was greedy for alcohol and was negligent that caused him to escape. What's more, it was said that Kou Linzai let him go on purpose. Of course, there is no definite evidence for these words. If you want to convict a viscount, you must either find someone with a higher status than him to secretly help, or you must provide ironclad evidence, otherwise it is all nonsense. Those people who spoke nonsense without evidence were later approached one by one by this guy with a gourd in his pocket, who spat in their face and greeted their eighteen generations of ancestors, and then acted like a drunken maniac in their house for a while. And go.
In short, from that year onwards, the Warlock, who was less than fourteen years old, began his journey of exile. Fortunately, he knew how to illegally withdraw money from an ATM using something other than a chainsaw, and he also realized the importance of concealing his whereabouts and his dangerous situation.
The binary world is the second space and time he lives in, so he uses a new name on the Internet - Warlock.
That is the mysterious wizard in DND, who lives alone, loves freedom, and never follows the rules. Without a spellbook or a mentor, he is born with the ability to cast spells, and can create magic based on intuition rather than logic. People with outstanding talents can have great power without hard training, so it is difficult to share knowledge with others, and thus they are regarded as aliens by mediocre people.
Philip Nord, he is a warlock who uses binary magic to the level of a master.
After ten years, Warlock's achievements in computers have been regarded as a myth by hackers, and his name is regarded as a benchmark. The closer people are to him, the closer they are to the throne of the hacker god.
In his opinion, the "Skynet" written by the warlock back then can only be regarded as a very immature work, and it is not worthy of the name "Skynet" at all. If he could really make the same movie It has the same Skynet system in it. I am afraid that humans have been at war with robots for several years at this time.
However, the matter is not over yet. In fact, the empire ten years ago continued the project after obtaining the "Skynet" program written by Warlock. The system transformed into an emerging industry at the end of the 21st century, fully supporting brain-controlled games. A fully virtual online game.
Those optical brains with astonishing performance in online games are part of the variant of Warlock's "Skynet". The empire promoted it to the civilian market as an entertainment project to observe and test the future application of this system in military, space exploration, and even the development prospects of artificial intelligence.
Almost within a year after the launch of this type of game, traditional TV games and PC online games were quickly replaced. Fully virtual online games have become one of the mainstream ways for young people to have fun. All this can be attributed to Warlock’s discovery when he was fourteen years old. laid the foundation for technology.
After talking about the past and returning to the present, when the warlock was lying there busy, the door of the computer room was pushed open.
The person who walked in was a little boy who looked about ten years old. He didn't knock on the door not because he had no tutor, but because he was the owner of this "Toy Fortress" - the Toy Marshal.
In fact, the Marshal's actual age may be over fifty. He is what he is today, thanks to an experiment conducted by evolution. Of course, in the reverse cross, no one really treats him as a child except the idiot... sorry, except the gunsmith.
"What about that young man?" the marshal asked.
"It seems like something is being installed on the fourth engine." The warlock replied: "I'm going to connect to a nearby dwarf worker and see if I can talk to him." He did a few quick operations, and after a while, another message appeared on the big screen. There is an extra split screen, and the video signal on the screen is transmitted through the eyes of the toy dwarf.
After the toy dwarf turned his head dozens of degrees, he saw the gunsmith. Then the camera froze and the dwarf walked over.
The gunsmith was working in a big-footed robot that was more than two meters high. The cockpit of that type of machine was open. The gunsmith sat inside and pulled various joysticks. He wore goggles on his face, his face was oily, and his hair was disheveled. He looked like a standard mad scientist.
"Gunsmith, the boss called just now." The marshal's voice sounded from the toy dwarf's sound machine.
The gunsmith stopped what he was doing, turned around, and replied, "What are you doing? You're urging me again! It's still going to be finished. Didn't I say it would be finished before the 25th?"
