Chapter 284: Happy Birthday

A00 is a supercomputer that is above everything else.

So Lu Wen can understand her self-confidence.

But now A00 himself is beginning to doubt this confidence.

"I really don't have much energy these days, I always feel very sleepy, forget it...... I'll go back and get a good night's sleep, and I'll look for Xiao Jiang tomorrow to see if he's dead or not. ”

A00 took Lu Wen back to her room.

It's a big warehouse.

The warehouse is cluttered with all sorts of parts and electronic devices, all of which look old, and the computers on the desktop are still from 80 years ago.

The cluttered lines are tangled around the floor of the warehouse, and you may trip if you don't pay attention to walking.

In the video left to him by Yin Long, Lu Wen saw the warehouse laboratory of the original R&D team.

So he understood.

This is the final effect of A00 copying everything in the warehouse laboratory where she was born according to her memory.

This is her home.

There is also a photo on the table.

The photo shows two people, a young girl standing and an old man in a wheelchair.

The old man was Dr. Blue River.

At that time, he had little life left.

He is very open-minded and does not need so-called life-prolonging drugs.

That's when A00 found him, told him the truth, and found someone to take this picture of them.

"I can't tell you're quite nostalgic." Lu Wen said.

There are also a lot of photos hanging on the walls of the warehouse.

That's every breakthrough and every innovation of Blue.

Many of the people in the photos are now part of history.

"You'll feel it later, living too long, watching those familiar people grow old and end up being a small box in the cemetery."

A00 sat on a small bed in the innermost part of the warehouse, staring at everything in the warehouse with sleepy eyes.

For her, these things are memories of the past, and they cannot be traced.

"I used to make myself a human being, I integrated into their society, I made a lot of friends, and I even went to work as an engineer in Blue for a few years...... But the more you get to know each other, the sadder you feel when you part. ”

A00 gestured to the pictures on the wall.

In many old photos, you can see the figure of a young girl.

Occasionally, she also appears as a mature woman.

She is like a lonely soul, feeling joy and sorrow with the living life around her.

Until those people also slowly turn into ghosts.

"Every year, I would go to the tombstones of those people, wait for their descendants to leave, lay a bouquet of flowers, and ask them if there was a heaven."

"A lot of people even have their tombstones dug up, saying that the city is expanding, and their descendants are going there less and less."

"Actually, Xiao Jiang is the same......"

Dr. Jiang?

Lu Wen thought that this old man stayed alone in his research institute all the year round and did not see outsiders.

Is it also impossible to face the death of someone you are familiar with?

"In fact, human beings cannot live forever, not only are they suffering, we are also suffering for them."

"Don't try to meet too many human friends......"

"Maybe there will be immortality technology in the future......"

"Turn off the lights for me......"

A00 slowly lay down on the bed.

Next to the bed is an old vinyl record player.

The lonely old record began to spin slowly, and the stylus slashed across the grooves on the vinyl plane, sounding a music that Lu Wen was more familiar with.

It was Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt, the promotional song of Twilight Wolf's Homecoming.

The old voice echoed slowly in the warehouse, making people think of a vicissitudes of life, with a tired body, riding away at dusk.

Lu Wen turned off the lights and pulled down the roller shutter door of the warehouse.

……

The night passed.

At six o'clock in the morning, the city dawns.

Inside the most central building.

Everyone gathered around Xia Chuluo.

Miss Xia called everyone early in the morning, thinking that there was something else, but she didn't expect to leave a last word.

"I tried three times last night, once on the date my father and mother met, and once on the date they got married."

"The last time was when my mother gave birth to me."

"But in the end, it didn't work."

This box has only three chances of trial and error in total.

Other words.

Next time, if Xia Chuluo's password is correct, then the box will open.

If it's wrong.

The contents of it, along with her whole person, would be blown to pieces.

"Miss Xia, don't be impulsive, just find a machine to press the password instead of you." Konstantin said hurriedly.

"No, I'd like to try it myself."

Xia Chuluo calmly looked at the black suitcase.

From small to large.

People around her often say: She is worthy of being Xia Zheng's daughter.

That name has grown with her until now.

Many people say that they can see Xia Zheng's shadow in her, and the two are very similar in personality and temperament and natural intelligence, but those people, without exception, just think that Xia Chuluo is closer to Xia Zheng.

As for the real abilities of the two.

It's still too far off.

Xia Chuluo was able to capture this information from the words of many people.

Even the people in her team often say things like 'Miss Xia and Mr. Xia are already very close'.

How close it is, everyone has a standard in their hearts.

Xia Chuluo knew that of course she would never be able to replace that person, and she never thought of replacing it, but she didn't want to live in the shadow of that person for the rest of her life.

Lu Wen slowly stepped forward and sat next to Xia Chuluo.

Of course, he understands that this girl is more stubborn, and she will not change what she decides.

"If I accidentally get blown to pieces, you can each go back and live in Eden or any human city......"

"It's better to enjoy it while you still have the energy, and there is no need to live a life of bullets every day...... I have a lot of money in my account, you can find Lu Wen to take some of it yourself when the time comes. ”

Xia Chuluo said this to all the members of the team.

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that she would not change her mind again.

But they still kept persuading.

Jiang Fatzi persuaded bitterly: "Miss Xia, this ...... It's just a box, there's no need to be serious, there are so many androids in Eden, they are immortal, just find one and try the password for the last time......"

"That's right, Brother Jiang has a point, in fact, I can't even use androids, I can make a simple little robot on the spot." Lu Yang echoed.

"If you can't do it, just ...... Let Lu Yang try the password. Jiang Fatzi hurriedly said: "Lu Yang, he is ugly, and the luck of ugly people will not be too bad, otherwise they will not have the courage to live until now." ”

Lu Yang: "......"

But Jiang Fatzi's gag didn't make Xia Chuluo say anything more.

Her eyes were calm and she didn't say a word.

Even if she can't surpass her father......

It didn't make sense that he couldn't even unlock the lockbox he left behind.

Just as she was about to make one last attempt, Lu Wen suddenly grabbed her arm and stopped the index finger that was about to be pressed.

"You're thinking the wrong way." Lu Wen said to her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chuluo asked.

"Your first three passwords are all related to your mother, because in your subconscious, your father only cares about your mother, even if it is the last date of your birth, you only think that he is worried that something will happen to your mother when she gave birth to you."

Lu Wen slowly let go of Xia Chuluo's arm.

He sat on one side, his reaction speed was much faster than Xia Chuluo, and he could stop her at any time.

Hearing this, Xia Chuluo frowned and thought for a long time.

As far back as she can remember, her father rarely said much to her.

What summer is leaving her with has always been less gathering and more separation.

Nothing seemed to bind the man, except her mother.

He also rarely promised Xia Chuluo anything.

Except for one time when I came back......

He hugged the young Xia Chuluo and said that when she was eighteen years old, he would take her to Canterlot to watch the fireworks.

Come to think of it.

Xia Chuluo no longer hesitated.

She had a good memory, and after clearing all the memories before the age of six, her father only gave her this one promise.

She held out her hand again.

"Have you figured it out?" Lu Wen asked.

"Hmm."

Xia Chuluo nodded faintly, and then pressed the two numbers 1 and 8.

The entire hall suddenly became audible with falling pins.

The numerous androids slowly moved forward, keeping the humans behind, and if they exploded in a moment, they could fend off some metal shards.

All eyes were on that lockbox.

I saw that Xia Chuluo pressed the four numbers very quickly.

I heard a "pop".

The box opened.

"Hoo ......"

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

The moment Luo pressed it at the beginning of Xia, they were actually ready to meet the blast wave.

Even Lu Wen's body moved a lot closer to Xia Chuluo's side, his attention was highly concentrated, catching any sound, ready to pull Xia Chuluo behind him at that moment.

But nothing happened.

Safe.

"Miss Xia, don't do it again in the future, I feel like my heart can't stand it." Jiang Fatzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with palpitations.

"Brother Jiang, your heart is uncomfortable...... It could be that there is too much fat accumulated in the blood vessels of the heart, the heart is too overloaded, or it may be coronary arteriosclerosis caused by high blood lipids, and if nothing else, you will die young. Lu Yang kindly reminded.

Jiang Fatzi: "......"

He didn't bother to argue with Lu Yang now, and focused all his attention on that box.

It's not just him.

Everyone in the room wanted to know what was in the box.

In fact, there are many people who are curious about what the six numbers pressed by Xia Chuluo mean.

Without waiting for everyone to ask, Xia Chuluo took the first step and said: "My father told me before that when I am eighteen years old, he will take me to Canterlot City to watch fireworks. ”

Everyone was stunned.

In Xia Zheng's original plan, when Xia Chu Luo became an adult, it was time to blast the Floating City.

With the fall of a futuristic city.

It must have been the biggest fireworks in the world.

The earth-shattering roar will become a page in history, and those who come after it will be amazed.

"The first two numbers are 18, the middle two digits are the longitude of the Floating City, and the last two digits are the latitude of the Floating City, as for the contents of the box, I think you all understand."

As he spoke, Xia Chuluo opened the suitcase.

It was a red button.

Next to the button, there is a manual for use.

Lu Wen was sitting next to Xia Chuluo, so he could see it clearly.

[The weapon position is ready, under the liquid fuel reactor in that city]

[Need a person who is not afraid of death, infiltrate that city, and press the button at the same time]

The note that summer is leaving behind is clear.

The missile warheads with mass destruction in the far north have all been sent to the floating city, and they are buried under the liquid fuel reactor in the floating city.

As for how he got it, it is unknown.

It's also unclear why he got a bilateral button...... Maybe you're worried about changing things in the future?

Lu Wen thought about it for a while, and felt that Summer might be worried that Eden would be lucky to crack the code one day in the future, and out of anger and antagonism, he blew up the floating city...... What if the floating city has already changed for the better by this time?

Bilateral buttons can solve this problem.

After all, it is still very difficult for the people of Eden to enter the Floating City, let alone the very secret liquid fuel reactor of the Floating City.

Konstantin also saw the content of the note, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xia, you don't trust us Eden, get a bilateral button......"

The old man stopped talking, as if he was thinking about whether to say the rest of the story.

"In that case, if we want to get that city down, don't we need to have an internal response in it? And it's a high-status internal response. Said the team member.

"Tell Lu Yang to go back, Floating City will definitely accept his ......" Jiang Fatzi patted Lu Yang on the shoulder, "You kid hurry up and learn about liquid fuels." ”

"Brother Jiang, you can too." Lu Yang argued.

“……”

The people behind you say a word.

Discussing how to get the floating city down.

At the beginning of summer, Luo was very calm here.

In addition to the buttons and instructions for use, there is also a letter in the box.

A letter left to her alone.

She slowly unraveled it.

On the yellowed paper, there were only a few short sentences.

"Xiao Xiao Luo, if you read this letter, then I should be dead, probably with your mother Xiao Luo."

"I'm sorry to leave you alone."

"This firework is a small gift from me."

"I'm also sorry that I haven't been with you seriously since you were born."

Xia Chuluo told Lu Wen a long time ago that feelings affect people's judgment ability.

She also quoted a line from "Rick and Morty" at the time, saying that people's so-called feelings are just a chemical reaction that allows offspring to reproduce.

This girl has never revealed any relationship problems.

Even his face has always been indifferent, like ice that has been frozen for countless years.

The man who wrote this letter was the same as his daughter.

are not very good at expressing emotions.

Human feelings were too complicated, so he was reluctant to touch them at the time...... Until he met Xia Chuluo's mother.

on yellowed paper.

Those few lines of plain handwriting looked crooked.

All his emotions are hidden in his heart.

Hidden in a deep place.

It's a little uncomfortable to write it now.

I don't know how long I held it before I held back the lines I see now......

And the last sentence.

"Happy birthday."

……

Good night, book friends!
