Chapter 50: Empty Firefly Snow

The fireflies finally didn't come. [No pop-ups. 】

In early summer, Chloe fell into a strange dream. She dreamed that it was snowing all around, and the snowflakes kept falling, and it was convenient to pass through the branches of the trees and through the house, where there was no shortage of women's daily things. Don't worry about it early, Chloe finished washing up and picked up the white coffee brewed by Liqi. She was grateful for what she had done, but she also wanted to know what she wanted. She cares about herself so much more than just dealing with interviews or being kind to guests. Then again, Li Qi's hospitality is not friendly at all.

She changed into loose clothes and sat down across from Chloe.

"You helped me back yesterday"

"Well, when I talked about the events of that day, you fell asleep."

Chloe watched silently as the coffee was steaming and the rain was pouring down outside, knocking on the windows.

"Did it rain so hard that day?"

"Well, the rain that began to fall after Qiao Hongyu's death was very heavy, maybe it was a local climate anomaly caused by the activation of the Hundred Day Ghost prototype."

"I see." After drinking coffee, Chloe's mind gradually cleared up. She opened her tablet, "In other words, the prototype of the Hundred Day Ghost that later appeared in the castle tower town escaped from the Shangtang base. ”

"Yes." Li Qi's answer was simple.

"It was released by Qiao Hongyu, she has actually been restoring the function of the simulation system, connecting the simulation system to the main network, and finally activating the Hundred Days Ghost in the numberless hangar."

"Absolutely."

"Is it Qiao Hongyu in the Hundred Days Ghost, or rather, it is her soul that controls the Hundred Days Ghost."

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Li Qi noticed that Chloe said that, and her expression was a little unnatural. She thought that it might be just that Koloe didn't like Qiao Hongyu very much, which was understandable.

"Well, I don't understand."

"I don't really believe that there is another world, for me these are just superficial similarities. Assuming that the other world really exists, and then the concrete soul transcends to the other side and is free from the samsara of the three evil realms, even if all of them are realized, we cannot guarantee that the self on the other side will exactly correspond to the present self. Now, we can't even be exactly like ourselves the next minute, can we? ”

"Nope." Chloe said firmly, "I believe in the other world, and I believe that the Strike is somewhere there, and it's him, not his soul. She almost shouted, as if to cheer herself on, "I will definitely find him, in heaven and hell." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward. In half a moment, the two of them realized at the same time that the contradictions and unnaturalness caused by each other's beliefs, soul and soul, reincarnation and judgment, all of which could not be discussed, so they tacitly stopped continuing to go deeper on Qiao Hongyu's clues. Chloe's real concern is to be attacked.

"What about him, after Qiao Hongyu died, did he leave?"

"He wanted to chase the Hundred Day Ghost all the way to the mangrove forest. I didn't know what Meng Struck understood about the world and the soul on the other side, but he was trying to bring the Hundred Days back to life. According to the most conservative assumption, the resurrected Centennial Ghost prototype should be similar to Qiao Hongyu in terms of artificial intelligence logic, so Meng Strike thinks that it should be able to be recalled. Li Qian replied, "However, if it is really Qiao Hongyu, I don't think the Hundred Days Ghost will leave, on the contrary, she wants to see the pain and repentance of being struck." Actually, too, the pain of being struck begins at that moment. ”

Li Qian closed her eyes, "I wanted to go out and chase him, but I bumped into him head-on." He was still wearing a flight suit, soaking wet and muddy. I think he fell into the mud of the mangrove forest while chasing the centunia. ”

"She's dead, she's dead. I said this to him, hoping that he would calm down. Li Qian continued:

The rain that day was so loud that I couldn't hear anything all around, and it was blurry, and it was as if the heavens and the earth had been thrown into the middle of a huge waterfall.

Meng Ji saw Li Qi and grabbed her shoulder: "She will be resurrected, this is her first resurrection, can't you see it." She doesn't want me to be at peace, she wants to see me suffer, drive me crazy, drive me mad and commit suicide. She was such a person who could do anything to see me suffer. That's the Hundred Days," he shouted, grabbing Li's arm, "What plane do you have here, I'm going to take off, I'm going to take off soon." I said that once she survived, I would destroy her once. ”

Li Qi's lips were trembling: "The main force is J-10C, only J-10C"

"That thing doesn't work, what's more."

"That's all, we're just a military company."

Meng Zhu pulled Li Qi and walked to the all-weather standby hangar, "It's over, it's all over." "Sixteen hangars were still burning, and the heavy rain did not diminish the fire in the slightest. Most of the facilities at the Shangtang base were damaged, the fire garage door was completely deflated by air pressure, and the vehicles were badly damaged. There were only a few people running around the airport, and most of them were still afraid to get out of their bunkers. Li Qi followed him to the unnumbered hangar on the side and saw that there was a fighter jet inside.

It was the MiG-144, the last superfighter developed by the former Soviet Union before its collapse.

Seeing hope, he yelled at Liqing, "Quick, it can move, help me start this plane." Then, walking briskly to the plane, a terrible force suddenly appeared out of nowhere, dragging the charging car over.

Li Qi was surprised, she didn't know that there was this fighter in the Shangtang base at that time, and it was still in a state of maintenance and ready to fly at any time. She picked up the phone and called a few ground staff to quickly restore the plane's function and refuel and recharge. When all was done, Meng Bang sent everyone out of the hangar, and the engine was started.

The sound of the rain continues.

The aroma of white coffee is lingering.

"How can there be a MiG-144 in the base" Koloi finally knows where the MiG-144 he was driving came from when he arrived at the castle tower. But how did this plane get into the hands of Shi Yi at the Shangtang base.

"It's not classified, but don't include it in your story. The technical source of the whooping ghost system is actually in the MiG-144. Of course, there is no technical inheritance between the two. At that time, the Soviet Union was the first to propose the active intelligent decisive battle weapon project, in order to cope with a large-scale nuclear war. The Soviet Union expected heavy casualties in a future nuclear war, and the war would inevitably be lost when skilled soldiers were exhausted. As a result, some people in the design bureau proposed to develop an active and intelligent control system that would enable a person who only needs to be politically qualified to quickly have the ability to operate complex technical weapons. In the middle of the development of this technology, the standard was further raised and it was required that animals could also use it. ”

"Animal" Chloe found it incredible.

"Mainly dogs, of course, didn't make real progress in the end. The product can only be operated by people, and the technology is not mature, basically staying at the level of theoretical verification. However, the MiG Design Bureau still installed the active intelligence system on the MiG-144 in the form of a pod for testing, which is an important hope for them to defeat the Sukhoi Design Bureau and win the approval of the nuclear decisive fighter project. Li Qi put down the empty cup, "This is the origin of the Hundred Day Ghost, how did the Origin Capsule and MiG-144 get into Shi Yi's hands, I don't know very well, it is estimated that it is related to Kurchatov." Shi Yi moved the entire prototype system of the Whooping Day Ghost to Bori Island, including the theoretical prototype MiG-144. ”

"Dogs let dogs drive fighter jets." Chloe's mind suddenly didn't keep up, it wasn't like her. However, she quickly brushed aside the message and added, "Well, next, Meng Strike wanted to fly the MiG-144 into the air to chase the Centipliers, but lost his target near the castle tower, so he landed there and ran into Hinty's shop to buy a tracking pod. ”

Liqi reacted a little strangely to Chloe, could it be that she was sensitive to animal testing, maybe. Regardless, she sensed that Chloe was not in a good mood.

"Yes, you're right." Li Qian replied, "But it's not complete, there is a paragraph missing in the middle." ”

"Well, what's missing."

"I've read your reports before, and there was a gap of seven days between the date of Meng's arrival in the castle tower and the time he left the Shangtang base, a full seven days."

"Seven Days"

"Yes, no fighter can fly that long unless it's a late-stage nuclear-powered centrituen."

Chloe was stunned for a moment, feeling that this matter was even stranger than she had imagined.
