St. George's Cole & Co., 66th Floor

"Ding—"

The elevator stopped at the top of Cole's Corporation, and when the elevator door was opened, Hill was the first to step out of the elevator, followed by Albert Sr. with a calm face, and the remaining four engineers also walked out of the elevator.

Everyone's faces are not very good-looking.

They are the most senior engineers in the six departments, and they have been working for [Kohl's Company] for a long time, so they naturally know the temper of the boss.

Scott is a man who strives to be perfect in everything, and he does not allow his employees to make any mistakes in their work, especially when such mistakes occur in matters related to the [Minghe System].

It's clear that this time they screwed up.

The [Minghe System] not only automatically ended the game when the end of the game was reached, but also allowed Caesar to successfully pass through the mirror, and even almost killed the [Hunters] on the other side of the mirror.

This basket is not small,

The six of them each have ghosts, thinking about how to explain the mistakes in their work, and how to dump this pot red on others.

Six engineers came to the door of Scott's office, and after the face recognition passed, the intelligent recognition door of Scott's office opened, and a large white minimalist office was displayed in front of everyone.

This time, it was Albert Sr. who walked into the office first.

He is also the top person in charge of the bioengineering department, and he can't be overshadowed by a little ghost who is less than twenty years old.

When the six people walked to the desk, they couldn't help but look a little solemn.

Scott, dressed in a suit, is standing with his back to them, in front of a curved panoramic floor-to-ceiling window.

He put his hands in his pockets, his straight back, although he didn't turn around, his aura already made people feel a strong deterrent.

On the other side of the curved desk stood a female assistant, she was tall and slender in a tight jumpsuit, holding a work tablet in her hand, she was looking for something on it with her head down, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw six engineers coming in, she glanced at Scott again, but did not speak.

The office of Nuoda fell into an awkward silence for a moment.

On the table, there is a 20 wheel ball perpetual motion machine designed by da Vinci, 20 semi-arcs are carved out of a wooden disc, each semi-arc has a round steel ball, when an external force is exerted on the perpetual motion machine, the steel ball above will slide from the inside of the semi-arc to the inside of the semi-arc, so that the impulse generated can make the gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, thereby driving the rotation of the entire original disk, the principle of the perpetual motion machine designed by da Vinci is to play the purpose of self-lifting power and sustainable motion through the rolling of the ball. This idea is too idealistic and obviously violates the law of conservation of energy, so it can only become a piece of waste paper in the history of human invention.

“…… Do you know why I have this perpetual motion machine entity on my desk? ”

In the middle of the night, Mr. Scott spoke first.

Surprisingly, instead of asking directly about the cause of the game's error, as he had imagined, he mentioned an inconspicuous model of a perpetual motion machine.

As the most senior engineer, Albert Sr. thought for a while and said: "Perpetual motion machine is an ideal that human beings can never realize, but Mr. Scott put it on his desk to tell everyone that [Cole Company] is a place that makes the impossible possible. ”

"That's right. In recent years, the company has launched many intelligent technology products, and more single-handedly managed the [Minghe system], turning the humanized punishment of criminals into reality, [Minghe system] is the most important business of [Kerr company], you have always been my most trusted team, I found you from all over the world, some of you used to be university professors, some were the head of advanced science and technology research institutes, and some people have a black background. But no matter who you were in the past, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether you can complete the tasks given to you by the company now. Scott said, crossed his hands behind his back, and slowly clenched his fists, "But today, you guys disappointed me, the game of [Minghe System] has been played for 13 rounds, and for the first time, there is a situation where the game needs to be forcibly terminated, has anyone told me, what's going on?" ”

Scott's deep voice revealed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and his words were light and heavy, but he said them all in the same tone, which seemed so unkind.

The six engineers fell silent for a moment, and none of them spoke.

It's clear that the superiors are looking for someone who made a mistake.

Now whoever jumps out first, gets shot first.

Scott, with his back to them, guessed what the six of them would look like in the silence.

He turned his face slightly and looked at the female assistant on the side: "Julian." ”

"Yes."

Hearing this, the female assistant stopped what she was doing and bowed her head.

"Since these six people in charge don't remember, let's help them recall."

"Yes."

Julian clicked a few times on the tablet in her hand, she slid her fingertips, adjusted the tablet to stereoscopic viewing mode, and enlarged the picture, projecting the recorded stereoscopic picture onto the wall, and then, she clicked on the screen, and the stereoscopic image began to play, it was a video in the [Mirror Connection] game, it was a picture of Colin and Caesar talking in the warehouse, Colin had just told Caesar that there was a way to pass through the isolation of the mirror, at this time the warehouse suddenly collapsed, the blood lynx appeared, Caesar pulled Colin aside, But the Blood Lynx suddenly attacked Colin, grabbed Colin with his claws, threw it, and threw it into the blood basin's mouth, Colin was bitten alive and swallowed by the Blood Lynx, while Caesar grabbed the goat doll and crouched to the side in a defensive position.

Julian pressed the screen again, and the recording stopped.

Scott spoke: "At this time, the end of the game has been reached, why didn't the game stop?" ”

After the six engineers looked at each other a few times, Hill, who was still the chief engineer of the [Science and Technology Engineering Department], stepped forward to explain: "The transmission channel of [Mirror Connection] is narrow, and there are many energy flows and information flows through the transmission terminal in a short period of time, so there may be some lag in terms of time. It takes a certain amount of time from the time Icarus's bracelet self-detonation device is activated to Icarus's self-detonation and death, which creates a loophole in the game progression, and it may be that one world has reached the end of the game, but the other world is still playing. ”

"Then why did the game continue after Icarus died?" Scott's tone was darker.

Hill was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Scott's back: "Mr. Scott, before entering this office, I have asked my colleagues from the [Science and Technology Engineering Department] to check all the code of this game, and we found that there are some errors in the control background of the [Minghe System]. These errors are caused by someone logging into the game's dashboard and successfully gaining moderator privileges. Obviously, this incident interfered with the running program of the [Minghe System], so that the command to terminate the program was incorrect, so that the game did not end automatically. ”

Although the young engineer was reporting the mistake, his tone was still calm, as if he were reporting a very normal thing.

There was not a trace of timidity, and there was no trace of waves in his tone, as calm as the lake in autumn.

It is suspected that although he is less than twenty years old, his mental age is at least forty-three.

"If you've discovered the bug, why didn't you terminate the game right away?"

"——Because those [hunters], they are chasing Arthur, beating Arthur, they are on the rise, if we suddenly forcibly terminate the game here, the [Minghe system] will be a computer running at high speed will be suddenly unplugged, all programs will be terminated immediately, and the signal impact generated by forcibly terminating the game is very strong, which will make the consciousness of the [hunters] who did not belong to the game be stripped of the game in an instant, back to the real world, this process may cause their bodies to have some adverse reactions, such as dizziness, Vomiting, loss of mood, etc. Therefore, due to the concept of 'customer first', we cannot forcibly terminate the game unless absolutely necessary. We wanted to wait for the Hunters to kill Arthur before terminating the game, but Caesar suddenly crossed the lake in Central Park, and that's when we ......"

Hill's words came to an abrupt end.

Hearing this, Scott fell silent.

Hill's words are not without reason.

In a sense, [Hunter] is also the highest level of VIP of [Cole Company], if it brings a poor game experience to guests due to some technical problems, I am afraid it will greatly affect the company's reputation. Not to mention that these guests are all wealthy and powerful people, and it is easy for them to divest or even make a move against [Cole Company].

Everyone here knows the seriousness of the problem.
