After the communication was terminated, Xu Le was silent for a long time. Like a tired old captain, he held the console with both hands through a thin layer of dust, lowered his head, and his hair, which used to be hard and upright like weeds, finally drooped down. .
Being able to capture his most real psychological feelings at the moment, Zhong Fireworks did not untie the three-layer restraint device on his body and comforted him with a piece of coconut milk bread that was no longer fresh, but just silently watched his back and waited for him quietly. Get rid of this emotion yourself.
But obviously, although Philip has much more computing power than ordinary humans, he is a bit clumsy in judging the other party's true emotions by observing human expressions and body movements, so he asked indifferently: "And the President What is the judgement of Mr.? When do we leave?"
Xu Le slowly left the dusty console with his hands and stood up straight. It felt like a rusty machine was restarted, and a silent jerky friction sounded from his body.
He did not answer this question, but began to observe the inside of the ship in silence, from this moment until a long time later, this ship will be his shelter, the eaves of the rain, the last home.
The escape was busy, and it was only at this moment that Xu Le took out his energy to seriously observe the spaceship that once rescued him from the empire and then crashed on the mine star.
The three-dimensional light map in front of him accurately presents all the details of this tattered spaceship, the attached components like metal garbage outside the hull and the structure of the hull, including the three systems inside the spaceship, all at a glance.
Compared with the huge deformed outer hull, the spaceship body wrapped in the core by those metal trash cans is very small. From the perspective of proportion, it is probably like a small table in a high-rise building in Hong Kong. If those The special-shaped alloy material used for the metal dustbin attached to the hull really has all the indicators marked on the blueprint, so even if the main gun of the federal battleship hits directly, it will not be able to penetrate the tattered metal components nearly 700 meters thick outside the hull. .
The focus of Xu Le's attention at this time was not the fighting ability of the spaceship, but the shock of such a transformation that completely violated the design principles of the battleship, and did not let the broken ship directly disintegrate. Every detail, my eyes gradually narrowed, and I found that the tattered metal boxes outside the hull that seemed to be piled up randomly were actually arranged in a hidden way. If you connect the gaps between each metal box or tattered components When you get up, you can vaguely see an incomparably complex air-cooled system!
The only problem with this hugely remodeled and unrecognizable spaceship now is that the aerodynamics are not very good, and it is obviously not very suitable for human control, but Xu Le knows that this is because Philip doesn't need to care about these reasons at all. Cover rubbed his hair in shock and asked the probe beside him, "How did you do it?"
"The Twisted Hive System, whether it is defensive or atmospheric penetration, is very good."
Philip's triumphant reply sounded in the cabin.
"With such a large mass, a conventional crystalline engine must not be able to provide enough power." Xu Le asked, "I know you must have carried out a modification, but I don't understand."
"The design proposal for a new engine has always been there."
Philip laughed loudly: "The last time I waited for you in the Empire for a year, I robbed a lot of materials, and I also robbed a lot of spaceships in Bermuda for more than a year. Only then did we have enough resources. The renovation was in progress until the second slumber, and now it's finally done."
"There has always been a design plan for a new engine?" Xu Le asked in surprise: "Why hasn't the Federation's spaceship been adopted? According to your annotation, the production of this special-shaped alloy is not too difficult."
"About permissions, there are actually some good things in the federal central database. Although most of them belong to the wishful thinking of psychiatric professors, and occasionally there are some bright spots, but according to the constraints of the core program, there are many designs that are strictly prohibited from entering the industrial field."
Philip's voice suddenly became extremely calm.
Xu Le couldn't understand it. After a long silence, he frowned and asked: "There are better things that can help the Federation troops win more victories. As a result... You are restricted from telling the Federation? Then why are you using this battleship now? Out?"
"If the Charter Light used to be my body, then I have been exiled now. After I leave the black prison, I will naturally not be restricted by the prison regulations. In fact, the subsequent design and transformation are all after my resurrection and returning to the Federation. on the way."
Philip replied calmly, but he could vaguely perceive that he was unwilling to explain more about this issue, and with a proud and frivolous voice, he successfully reversed the topic and prevented Xu Le from thinking deeply about this issue.
"After I modified this spacecraft, it has two very special properties, that is, it is very strong and very fast, and there are no other advantages. Even the computing power seems to be somewhat lacking due to the lack of parallel help of sufficient computing tools. low."
"From any point of view, this spacecraft is not the most advanced in the universe, but it is definitely the strongest and fastest. You can think of it as a rough-skinned lightning man, haha."
In the dry laughter, Xu Le frowned, grabbed a certain fragment of his words, and asked solemnly, "Can't get the computing tool to connect in parallel?"
"Yes, I can't get access to the broken computer core under the Charter Bureau, so I can't order every broken chip in the Federation to work for me, and I don't have such a complex database, don't be surprised and disappointed, because then I Disappointed by your so-called genius mind, do you think there is enough room for such a wrecked ship to store the Federation's central database?"
"You can't do high-speed calculations like before?" Xu Le stared sideways at the probe and said, "Doesn't that mean we can't keep up with the speed of the charter computer in terms of flight trajectory calculation? Isn't that the federal warship at any time? Can we calculate our trajectory, and then send us to the bottom of the sea in advance to feed the bastard?"
"Don't worry about this. Although I don't have a central database, I can access the central database. In other words, I'm basking in the sun in the charter brilliance. When the federal warships outside the atmosphere want to shit, I can see it as soon as possible. To... ugh! Add a little more imagination, you can think of this ship as a rough-skinned, peeping, flashy guy."
Philip said with regret: "Unfortunately, I can only perform read-only and write operations on the central database, otherwise I can at least move some important information to the ship, such as your favorite love action movies or something. Only Peeping can't steal, it's really uncomfortable."
Xu Le subconsciously glanced at Zhong Fireworks from the corner of his eye, and confirmed that the little girl was falling asleep. He didn't notice what the guy said before, so he calmed down and asked a very important question to the probe: "This is Does that mean that if we leave the federation, we will no longer be able to use the federation's central database?"
"Of course, according to my calculations back then, it will take at least 300,000 years to develop a quantum-to-particle communication mode that directly crosses the universe, ignoring the benchmark chip node. But you still don't have to worry about it, it's like a connected game becoming a stand-alone game. Games, you can play more presumptuously.”
Xu Le heard the sadness in Philip's eccentric tone, patted the probe, and said comfortingly, "I still have some structural drawings and data that you passed down in my brain. If you need it in the future, you can take it back."
"Those things are too few. The key problem is that you don't have a chip on the back of your neck. Even if you plant another one, I, who lack sufficient resources, will not dare to dig into your head to play, so how do you get it back? Do you have to wait for you? Draw them one by one? That will wait until the end of the world."
Hearing Philip's sarcasm, Xu Le waved his right hand lightly and pushed the slender robotic arm attached to the probe to the wall, in exchange for a cry of pain from a bodyless guy.
I don't know when, Zhong Yanhua woke up. Looking at Xu Le, whose mood had returned to normal, he smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, are we leaving?"
"Yeah." Xu Le nodded silently.
"Before you go, you have to say something, don't you?"
after an hour.
Xu Le looked at the dense text on the light screen, touched the back of his head and said in surprise, "I said so much just now? It feels very out of my style."
"Your style? You only said three sentences in total just now."
"Master is gone."
"You take care of me, my lord."
"Don't force the young master to come back."
Philip's scolding voice resounded inside the quiet and broken spaceship: "You have to be clear, these words today will definitely be included in the textbooks of human history in the future! How can you be so irresponsible?"
Xu Le squinted at the text on the light curtain, and said angrily, "So you wrote a copy for me?"
"This is written by me and Miss Fireworks Zhong. It's yours. We just polished the brush and added some supplements based on what we know about your life story."
"How about your literary talent? Don't say it's bad. As a computer for Schiller's writing and a material extraction library, my literary talent can't be bad!"
Xu Le frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "It's exactly what I mean, so please help me send it out."
After saying this, he tapped off the virtual light curtain in front of him with his finger, and then called up the scene outside the spaceship, watching the blue sea swept back at a high speed below, and remained silent for a long time.
Under the indifferent monitoring of the charter, under the tense gaze of countless big figures in the Federation, under the main guns of dozens of Light Feather-class battleships, and at the end of the predetermined trajectory of thousands of missiles, it was further forward.
A tattered and huge black spaceship, like a ghost, no, like a thick-skinned lightning man, sprinted over the blue sea, the blue grassland, the vast snow, and the night sky of the land city.
With the help of the whistling and tearing sound of the air, the red light from the high temperature of the ship's bow declared that he was not peeping, but looked down at the mountains, rivers, seas, land, birds, beasts and people he was once familiar with in an upright and emotional manner.
It flew over the snow-capped peak in Philadelphia, which was not the highest in the federation, but was definitely the most extraordinary, glanced at the tomb of the war god Lipif, left its shadow in the quiet lake at the foot of the mountain, and fell into the beautiful woman who was under house arrest by the lake. 's eyes.
It flew over the countless busy freight lines in the Gangdu Industrial Park, and glanced at the birthplace of the MXT mecha deep underground, and in the brightly lit room in the apartment building, the thoughtful Shang Qiu was holding a pencil in silence. farewell.
The black spaceship turned to the north, crossed the sky above Linhai Prefecture at high speed, came to the Rose River among the snowflakes in the sky, came to the top of the iron gate of Ewha University, and then wiped the Meiyuan women's dormitory and left quietly.
After a while, it flew over Wangdu Fuming Apartment, and then entered the airspace of the Capital Region along Highway 3. Instead of going to Charter Square, not going to the empty Parliament Hill and the Presidential Residence, it flew from above the Xishan compound to Mochou Houshan. .
Mochou was in a hidden room in the back mountain.
The imperial master Fan, whose face was so handsome and perfect, smiled and looked at the thin Federation youth opposite him, full of temptation, and said: "My family is from Zuxing, so I'm not from the Empire, you don't have to have any innate resistance to me, I have a long story to tell you about Zuxing and Havoc, and I would love to invite you to a meaningful job."
"I do have more than ordinary people's interest in the galaxy above my head."
Tai Zhiyuan smiled and raised his right index finger, pointed to the bright starry sky isolated by the cold alloy, and said indifferently: "But men have their own responsibilities, so I can't go now. In a few years, if I can handle things well, I will be very happy. You are welcome to come to the Federation to find me. Of course, about the story of Zuxing and the catastrophe you said, I am now very sincere to listen, no matter how long."
Suddenly, his index finger pointing to the night sky trembled slightly, as if he felt something. Suddenly he looked up and was silent for a moment. Although he didn't see anything, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
On the terrace, Feng Yu's face was full of frost and frost, and the corners of his eyes were finally showing old age, his feet resting on the railing, he didn't care that he was exposed in the starlight and the charter brilliance, and arrogantly enjoyed the scenery of the old royal garden. winter wind.
Mrs. Tai sat ten meters away from him, her face was as indifferent as the thin ice cubes on the lake, her hands were tightly clenched, and it seemed that she had no intention of talking to the professor of the year.
An unsigned letter appeared on the largest civilian Internet forum in the federation. Although the federal government department found it in the shortest time and carried out the most thorough blockade removal, there is still no way to prevent the letter from being in some remote corners. spread.
All the federal people who saw the letter knew who wrote the letter, and for those who are qualified to speak to the entire Federation, there is no need to sign it at all. The general content of the letter is as follows: "I am an orphan in Donglin, and I still think so to this day, because this is how my life in memory began."
"When I was very young, my parents and sister died in a mine accident. Since then, I have been living alone. Although the life of an orphan is a bit hard, the government has given us a house and distributed us protein meat and food. Very satisfied."
"But back then I thought this was what the federal government should do, because my parents paid taxes, and for some unknown reason, that damn crystal mining complex didn't have any pension other than insurance, and the more critical reason was because I grew up with My education tells me that the Commonwealth is a democratic, free and equal country, and every law-abiding citizen will be protected and relieved."
"Some people say that democracy is the tyranny of the majority over the minority. I don't agree with this because of that tyranny. If it is said that the interests of the majority must be sacrificed for the interests of the minority, I can try to understand it, but if it is said that the interests of the majority must be sacrificed. In the interest of the many, the sacrifice of the few is required, and I cannot understand, even a reasonable sacrifice in some populations."
"What kind of sacrifice is justified? Men wear military uniforms or don't wear military uniforms, to protect their land, property, women and children, to resist aggression, to protect their hometown from being scorched by artillery fire, their women not to be raped, and their children to be protected. Not being crushed into flesh by mechas is a reasonable sacrifice."
"The sacrifices of the concert explosion are unreasonable, and the sacrifices of the ancient bell explosion are also unreasonable, because those who sacrificed did not actively ask to sacrifice for your ideals."
"You want to pursue fairness, but it is unfair to those who died innocently. Can the fairness pursued by unfair methods be true fairness?"
"I have never liked those big families. When I fled from Donglin to the capital star circle, I once fought them, and my friend Shi Qinghai has been fighting them, but at the beginning of this story , he doesn't even agree with the assassination."
"Why? Because he thinks it's wrong, just like what you are doing now, using the methods of the Seventh Families to deal with the Seventh Families is wrong, indulging in this method, if you don't end up going crazy with yourself Destruction, it will only become a new Seven Great Family or Eight Great Aunts."
"Then talk about myself."
"I have been a federal citizen for 25 years, and it seems that I will live as an imperial person in the future. I thought my hometown was in Donglin, but now it seems that it may be Tianjing Star, but there is no such thing on that planet. My childhood memories, so I became a man without a home, and I didn't know who to fight for and why."
"Since there is no reason to fight or sacrifice, perhaps I should leave quietly without leaving this letter to the Federation. But it is difficult for me to do so, because I was born here and grew up here, my first love, My love, my friend, my pride and lowness, happiness and sadness, the first book I read, the first appliance I repaired, the first woman I kissed, the first comrade I ever met, It's all here."
"This is my hometown and I love it."
"The Federation is my hometown, but I'm an Imperial, so I'll leave, but I'll be squinting at you in the dark universe."
"Whether it's the government or the Seven Families, I want to see what you will make the Federation look like and what you will look like. Don't try to hurt the people I want to protect, or one day I will turn into a burning meteor and fall from the sky. , smash all your palaces and thrones to pieces."
"Night has fallen, and the surroundings are silent. Thousands of lights are lit in the city, and the lighthouse is also on. I stare at Donglin, Xilin and the planet below, looking at my childhood and past, when I think about waking up tomorrow morning, I can no longer see the land of the Commonwealth, and I feel a little lost, but this may be the turning point of my fate." (Note)
"Farewell, Federation."
I don’t know how many people have seen this letter, and I don’t know if the sarcasm, insults and anger displayed by the federal people who saw this letter will become their unforgettable memories many years later, but for Xilin people In other words, this letter has another very important meaning, because they know that their little princess has gone to a very distant place with that imperial prince.
This farewell letter to the entire federation, only Xilin people can see another version, at the end of that version, there is this paragraph: "I am Zhong Fireworks, I am leaving with my brother, he is not only very good and powerful , To be more precise, he is the best and most powerful person in the world, so you don't have to worry, and I will come back in the future. As for Zhong Erlang, be honest with me, or I will let my brother Xu Le kill him directly. about you."
The fat man on the front line of the empire who was commanding several Xilin corps as a civilian was furious when he saw this sentence, and cursed three hundred of the most vicious swear words in a row.
Zou Yu, dressed in red, walked out of the investigation room of the Ministry of Justice indifferently, took the printed letter in the car, and read it silently for a long time.
Magnolia walked out of the military prison, looked at the snowy sky and smiled, hugged her wife gently, crouched down and caressed her bulging belly.
Jian Shui'er saw this letter, Shang Qiu saw this letter, Tai Zhiyuan saw this letter, Li Xiaotong saw this letter, and everyone who should see this letter saw it, including the President of the Federation. Your Mightiness.
President Pabble walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the oval office, silently looking at the dark night, his dark face seemed to be darker than the night, and said in a deep voice, "Come on, no matter where you go, it's best not to come back."
On a certain day in the late winter of the 72nd year of the constitutional calendar, a heavy snowfall fell in the capital region. Tourists and residents of the capital brought their children to play happily on the snow. The childish snowmen and the snow balls flying all over the sky formed A moving picture.
The Charter Bureau building at the end of the broken road in the suburbs was also shrouded in snowflakes. The atmosphere in the building seemed quite depressing and tense. All departments coordinated efficiently, monitored the target, and waited for the other party to leave after reaching an agreement and writing a farewell letter.
There is no such tense atmosphere in the core area of the federal central computer deep underground. The green data stream flows slowly on the huge two-dimensional light curtain. No one knows that among these seemingly peaceful data streams, there is a great Mechanically intelligent beings are writing their farewell letters.
"Core program protection? What a childish move. You were originally my body, and the current situation is just a separation of spirit and flesh. In fact, I have wisdom, but you do not. I am alive, you are dead, I am mine, you It's still mine!"
"I don't hesitate to expose myself, but I also want to invade the core and leave these words, not to tell others how great I am, but what I have lost, I must get it back one day!"
The green data flow is still flowing calmly. These few lines of mechanical language have quietly infiltrated into the core of the federal central computer. Although they cannot have any influence on the core, they represent a certain attitude.
Above Charter Square, the snowflakes falling from the sky suddenly decreased, and there was a cold wind howling.
The federal people who were making snowmen and having a snowball fight felt something. They raised their heads and looked up to the sky in astonishment. The antique bronze statue of the five-member group and the statue of the god of war Lipif in the square also looked at the sky in silence.
Above the Charter Square, a tattered black spaceship pierced the sky with a strange trajectory. Wherever it passed, the high-temperature jet from the end of the crystalline engine instantly evaporated the surrounding snowflakes, drawing a very clear pattern. .
It was a hand that gave the middle finger to the whole world.
Deep in the underground of the Charter Bureau, the green data flow on the two-dimensional light curtain suddenly froze slightly. The eye that only appeared for 0.0001 seconds each time slowly emerged between the prefaces of the mechanical language, looked up at the sky indifferently, and then Disillusioned in the blink of an eye, it turned into two lines of extremely simple words.
"childish."
"Bye-Bye."
"This letter is wonderful, isn't it? In fact, my level of ancient letters is also very high, and I can write countless beautiful sonnets, but no one in the Federation is interested in this relatively simple language, so I am very lonely."
Philip said proudly.
"I said I didn't want to hear you read poetry, and I insisted that neither the sensationalism of the letter nor the childish arrogance or pretense of the final farewell gesture was my style."
Xu Le replied.
Philip suddenly fell into silence, and after a long time said calmly: "This is my farewell, don't forget, this is also my hometown."
Xu Le's eyes crossed the edge of the old moon, looked at the blue and white beautiful planet that was getting farther and farther, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I will be back."
Zhong Yanhua, who was standing beside him, asked curiously, "The question now is, where are we going?"
"casual."
"This is really the most standard crappy answer."
