Chapter 222: A new official takes office

After reading the note handed by Lin Zaishan, Fritsch continued to sit firmly in front of the bar, drinking leisurely, and even lit an enviable cigarette.

"I thought you were an ascetic, but I didn't expect you to smoke and drink." Jupiter touched his chin and stared at Fridge with intense attention.

"Go tell your friend who handed you a note and say, 'Let him eat.'" Fritsch spoke slowly, as if he were a completely unrelated bystander, and the words didn't come out of his mouth at all.

"My friend has a unique taste, but I guess he won't follow your orders."

"Maybe he's stupider than you think." Fritch made a peculiar gesture with both hands.

To Jupiter, this was obviously a naked-naked-naked humiliation, but he knew that Fritch had a very high status in John's mind, ostensibly as an expert advisor, but in fact he was John's spiritual mentor; Coupled with the fact that this man was deep and intelligent, and unpredictable - Jupiter really didn't want to offend him, so he left in a huff and returned to Lin Zaishan, who was recuperating with his back to the hall at the door of the bar.

"The postman's mission has been accomplished, and I regret to inform you that your little companion of the note is obviously not very appreciative of you, and he advises you to eat. Maybe you should adopt a different 'courtship' position, or just walk away decently. ”

"Thank you, friend, I have received the meaning of a certain gentleman." Lin Zaishan smiled slightly, raised his feet and left.

"You don't really have to eat...... That's it, right? ”

"I'm tired all day, it's time to go to sleep." Lin Zai didn't look back on the mountain, didn't open his eyes, and strode back to the dormitory.

"Hey dude, you look so good today!" As soon as the two frightened guards saw Lin Zaishan, they automatically made a look like a little dog shaking their heads and tails.

Lin Zaishan stretched out his hand and took out two fifth-level crystals and handed them to the two, and warmly called them with the nicknames he gave them: "Xiao A, Xiao B, you have worked hard." Trade these crystals for some supplies. ”

The two doormen looked at Lin Zaishan's distant back, thanked him repeatedly, and when he was far away, he muttered in a low voice: "He bribed us today, did he want to go on a date secretly in the middle of the night?" ”

"Whatever? As long as you don't get beaten, you can do anything. ”

//////

Lin Zaishan dismissed a few roommates who were asking for warmth, and then lay down on the bed and pondered: "Dr. Sam has undoubtedly become my biggest threat at the moment, he is radical, perverse, and extremely controlling, and he will definitely interfere with my actions on various occasions. If I can't get rid of Sam, I'll be played to death by him sooner or later. The question is how to get rid of Sam's entanglement? Keep in mind that this programmable particle control system is not a computer system that can be broken down by destroying a few parts. They carry a huge amount of energy and can control my body at any time. ”

Lin Zaishan couldn't help but think of the monitoring particle and the cursed particle that he had suffered before, and realized that these two must also be programmable particles, but they were designed under different technical conditions, and it was clear that Dr. Sam's product was more powerful.

"The monitoring particles are directly removed by me; Cursed particles are transferred to the fish monster, the new host, according to their own logic, and are deactivated when the curse is completed. Since both particles can be removed, I can assume that Sam's particles can also be removed. Sam said that programmable control particles are activated by enough energy to sense energy fields and conscious activity. So, as long as I have a strong enough energy field, I can also sense and even manipulate programmable control particles. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Zaishan couldn't help but feel excited.

But judging from the current indications, it is clear that Dr. Sam's control system can only detect physical signals such as audio-visual and changes in the energy field, and his code writing of these particles must be through the manipulation of the energy field - not directly through conscious activity, which is too amazing and terrifying. The processing and control of physical signals and energy fields such as audio-visual can be seamlessly integrated with computer systems. In this way, I can roughly guess how Dr. Sam's system works. Knowing the principle, you can target evasion and counterattack. ”

Lin Zaishan immediately activated the Eye of Truth, located a part of the programmable particles, and prepared to intervene in them, only to find that these particles all carried huge energy, and their "personalities" were very "tenacious", and the reaction force was also very strong. He tried and failed, but instead weakened himself and suffered severe pain.

Dr. Sam suddenly said in his mind, "No. 2222, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why is your body so excited?" ”

Lin Zaishan saw that his roommates were busy playing cards, so he replied softly: "I'm excited because I think of the rest of my life after the catastrophe and the catastrophe will not die." ”

"Really? Looks like I'm going to help wreak havoc on you a lot so you can stay excited. ”

"You'd better save it. I don't understand one thing, can you give me advice? "Lin Zaishan's ability to change the topic is very strong.

"Say, I have a lot of energy right now, anyway."

"You must have more than 2222 test subjects, right? There must be a lot of people who have 'installed' programmable particle control systems, you should be very busy, but why are you always idling around with my inconsequential little character? ”

"Ha, don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, you are very attractive. ”

"I'll go! Sam, you're not going to be a gay, are you? I am not opposed to others engaging in foundations, but I cannot accept that I am the object of foundations. ”

"When you reminded me like this, I realized that my sexual orientation was really a little problematic." Dr. Sam laughed, "It seems that I need to pay more attention to some good-looking female test subjects so that I can correct myself." ”

"Friendly reminder: don't play workplace romance with AI, that's too avant-garde."

"You mean Rachel? To tell you the truth, Rachel was designed according to the ideal woman in my mind. ”

"Sounds like Rachel must be a super pervert too."

"If you humiliate me and Rachel again, I'll turn you back into an ape!"

A powerful energy field spread, and a sense of powerlessness and great pain instantly enveloped Lin Zaishan. He gritted his teeth and endured so that he would not cry out.

"Take this as a small lesson to always remember young people." Dr. Sam triumphantly admonished, "If you dare to be rude in the future, you will not suffer at this level." By the way, I'm going to broadcast another piece of news, do you want to know the result of the battle between the corpse king White and the bunny? ”

"How's it going?" This "news" can't help but Lin Zaishan doesn't care.

"At 17:56 this evening, the Corpse King and the Little Rabbit began to fight. In just 3 minutes, the little rabbit was defeated. It spreads its wings and tries to escape, but is grabbed by the corpse king's hind limbs. In this way, the little rabbit flew north with the corpse king for nearly two hours, and finally exhausted his strength and was feasted on by the corpse king. At the very moment when I am announcing to you, the Corpse King is completing a new round of evolution. ”

"Doctor, aren't you worried that the Corpse King will one day be so powerful that even you can't restrain it?"

"Don't affect my broadcast, there is still shocking information to say." Dr. Sam seems to like his role as a temporary announcer. "Guess what's interesting about the place where the rabbit died?"

"Other psychopathic doctors?"

"Your imagination is too poor. The place where the rabbit landed is densely packed with millions of zombies, and our corpse king has found a sense of belonging. ”

"Is everything you say true?"

"Of course. I can predict almost right now, like the weather forecast: within 5-7 days, the Corpse King will lead an army of millions of corpses to Los Angeles, which is exciting to think about. It's a pity that Hollywood has been razed, otherwise I could have recorded it. It's a huge spectacle. ”

//////

Dr. Sam finally stopped.

Lin Zaishan secretly cursed Sam N many times, convinced that although the control system in his body could sense the energy field and consciousness activities, it had not yet reached the point of insight into the most complex spiritual world of human beings, and Sam could not really detect his own consciousness activities.

"Then I was relieved to know that Sam wasn't really in my head, he was just monitoring me from a distance. And this monitoring instrument can only 'see what you see, listen to what you hear', capturing my most basic physical perception of behavioral information. There are many implicit, complex, and subtle behaviors that Sam may not be able to notice, and even if he does, he may not be able to decipher them. ”

Lin Zaishan's act of handing a note to Fritsch in the bar tonight was an experiment, with his back to the paper, using his hand speed ability to write Chinese and English alternately with his left and right hands, and deliberately spending most of his time in English. Written on the front of the paper, the English content is only John Castle in danger, while the Chinese is written on the reverse side, which is a brief introduction to Dr. Sam's metamorphosis experiments and their threats. He deliberately only glanced at the front, just to let Dr. Sam know that he was making a small move, but he concealed his true intentions.

The results of the note delivery trial have not been fully confirmed, but it is almost certain that it is feasible to deceive Dr. Sam with a false appearance; Of course, Dr. Sam is extremely intellectual, and the slightest mistake will be detected by him.

"It seems that in the future, I will have to dig into my acting skills, and I will have to change some of my behavior patterns in time." He immediately devised a strategy to anticipate the various possible surprises.

"Dr. Sam, don't you claim to be intellectually superior? Let's play a brain-burning game with our brothers. As a warm-up exercise, I'm going to test you with a two-layer encrypted coding language. The question is, who is going to play the role of this so-called 'secret communication' inside John's Castle? Black cats are obviously not good; Jupiter should have been in the special forces and could be a candidate; Fritsch the Wise should be the best person in terms of intelligence and knowledge; Of course, others are not excluded. ”

In order to play the game of secret communication, you have to design this set of encryption languages first. For others, this may be a great difficulty, but for Lin Zaishan, who has created the super AI Lin Fuzi and has an IQ approaching 170, it is only a matter of a few minutes, and his actual consideration is not the development but the difficulty and details of mastering and using it for the communication object.

Soon, 3 sets of encryption technologies of different difficulty and forms were designed by Lin Zaishan, and the next thing to do is to find a suitable object.

Lin Zaishan fell asleep soundly. That night, due to the temporary absence of the weird and terrifying roar of the level 8 zombies, many people lost sleep instead.

//////

The next morning, Lin Zaishan came to the maintenance department to "go to work". As soon as he entered the office, he noticed that everyone's attitude towards him was very different from usual, and everyone was respectful, and then he remembered that he was already the director of the maintenance department.

"Your Excellency, you're going to have to give yourself a resounding name. The number 1051 can no longer be used. The black cat reminded.

"Then call me Zha Lin." Lin Zaishan secretly snickered at this name, he was obviously a peerless good man, but he was called "scum" by a group of foreigners, especially when he spit out a serious mouth from Caroline and other beauties.

Everyone shouted in unison, "Hello Mr. Zalin", and Lin Zaishan nodded. It's meeting time, and he, the new leader, has to "give a lecture."

"I would like to ask the leaders of each team to report to me on the personnel and equipment situation one by one. The pipeline group comes first. ”

The black cat snorted a few times and said to the crowd, "Our pipeline group has always had one of the highest casualty rates in John's Castle; But this situation has recently been fundamentally reversed. In the past week or so, we have not only completed almost all of our tasks without any deaths, but have even saved a lot of people. All these changes are due to the arrival of our director Za Lin. Let's cheer for the slag! ”

Lin Zaishan motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Let's be honest, don't always make sycophants." ”

The black cat said: "The real thing is: after you became the director, the pipeline team became my lonely family again." ”

"I should be able to find a few employees for you from other departments."

The leader of the vehicle team said: "Mr. Zhalin, there are a total of 7 members in our vehicle team, all of whom are at the venue today, including Mr. 1055 Rob, whom you once knew. We were able to do repairs on all the vehicles used at John's Castle, even the big cranes. ”

The leader of the mecha team, Louis, has always followed Marcus, and is familiar with the hunting team Bright, plus he specializes in mecha maintenance, so he is naturally arrogant; But recently Marcus was demoted, Bright was seriously injured, and Luis's status has dropped significantly. He felt an existential crisis like never before—if it was before the end of the world, it would be unemployment at best; But after the end times, mixing badly means dying miserably. His future and fate almost entirely depend on Lin Zaishan's subjective wishes, and if the latter wants him to die, it is enough to send him to the Red Zone to carry out a mission.

For these reasons, the tone of Louis's speech is somewhat unnatural. "Dear Mr. Zalin, there are currently 4 members in our mecha group, and we can repair a variety of single mecha such as the Death Mecha jointly controlled by 4 people, as well as the Samurai Mecha that imitates the distant island country, the Butcher Mecha of Huaxia, the Polar Bear Mecha of the Goose Country, and the Knight Mecha of the Eagle Country."

"What? Can I repair a mecha outside of China? Lin Zaishan asked with interest: "Luis, tell me, how did these overseas mecha flow into the United States?" ”

Louis replied: "Mecha technology is not only after the end of the world, some powerful countries have been conducting research before the end of the world. After the end of the world, all the mechs John purchased came from the Black Diamond Group, which sold the mechs while also providing some information that was not too technically sensitive in order to facilitate the maintenance of the mechs. I'm willing to bet that most people's information about mechs comes from the science of Black Diamond. ”

"Louis, do you know more than the average person?"

"My brother-in-law graduated from MIT and worked for Black Diamond as a senior technician, and now he should be the department head. He had been to John's Castle a few months ago when he was delivering mechs. The two of us were drinking and chatting, and he revealed to me that Black Diamond had acquired post-apocalyptic other country mechs by doing business with a ship. ”

"A ship?" Lin Zaishan forcibly suppressed his excitement, he needed a ship that could cross the ocean under the conditions of the last days.

"Yes, it is said to be a supership that was built before the end of the world but did not have time to go to sea. The ship embodies state-of-the-art technological and industrial achievements, not only has an indestructible hull structure, but also carries powerful reconnaissance capabilities and firepower, and has a power system with near-permanent endurance. ”

"Is it strange that such a ship was not destroyed in that strange meteorite explosion?"

"I don't know. Anyway, my brother-in-law said that this ship has achieved circumnavigation around the world after the end of the world, and it can be said that it has gone through hardships and won all battles! ”

"Do you know where this ship is?"

Louis shook his head: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." ”

Lin Zaishan praised: "Luis, the information you provide is very valuable, and your work is extremely important. Come on, do a good job! ”

"Understood!" When Louis saw that the new leader appreciated him, he suddenly came to his senses again.

The next report was the aircraft team, and their team leader was the helicopter maintenance personnel who went on a mission with Lin Zaishan yesterday and reprimanded him to death, called Cage, who was worried about yesterday's incident at this time, for fear that Lin Zaishan would deliberately retaliate.

"Tell me Cage, how should the helicopter be repaired?" Lin Zaishan asked with a pleasant face.

"Although the helicopter was recovered, there are still many problems that have not been completely solved. In addition, only the cannon was the only weapon system on board the helicopter, and the rest could not be activated due to ammunition. However, with the current two cannons, it is difficult to give full play to the full combat effectiveness of the helicopter. ”

"What's your suggestion?"

"I suggested adding firing holes and adjustable angles to the appropriate parts to turn this helicopter into a battle fortress in the air."

"You draw up an upgrade plan immediately and show it to me tomorrow at the latest."

Cage saw that Lin Zaishan was not guilty of the past, and his heart breathed a sigh of relief.

The last to report was the building maintenance team, which consisted of up to 20 people, who were mainly on duty inside the castle and were mainly responsible for the construction and reinforcement of the fortifications.

"Is there a schematic diagram of the buildings and fortifications of John's Castle?" Lin Zaishan asked.

"Yes." The team leader has realized the new director's vigorous and pragmatic style, and immediately took the schematic diagram and spread it on the desk.

Lin Zaishan only glanced at it, then turned his gaze away (he was afraid that Dr. Sam would use his vision to grasp the construction and fortifications of John's Castle and cause trouble), and carefully examined the details of the schematic diagram in his mind, and soon found 7 fatal flaws.

"The defense of John's Castle needs to be greatly strengthened, and your group will have to be busy in the future."

The leader of the construction team also breathed a sigh of relief, it is not a bad thing to be busy in the castle: one does not have to go out and take risks, and the other is that the effort is visible to the leader and John.

Lin Zaishan immediately asked for pen and paper, hid in his office, turned around and used his hand speed ability to work hard, and arranged the work tasks for each group in writing. His English writing skills are mediocre and there are many mistakes in details, but fortunately, his words to describe his work are simple and easy to understand, even when it comes to complex technical issues, others can see them at a glance.

"Team leaders, this is a task instruction for you, please faithfully follow the requirements therein, but the relevant content must be kept confidential."

The team leaders looked at each other, and for the first time since the end of the world, they had received written work instructions.

//////

Lin Zaishan was busy in his new post, and the phone in the office rang.

"My capable deployment, brave and wise right-hand man!" John greeted warmly on the phone, "I have a very important matter for you to hear, and if it is convenient for you to come to my office now." ”

John was polite, but everyone knew that his demands were irrefutable and undeniable. Lin Zaishan immediately arranged the maintenance department and rushed to John's office.

As soon as he entered, he found that in addition to John, Fritch the Wise was there. The latter seemed completely indifferent to his arrival, not even lifting his eyelids.

"1051, you should give yourself a name, and you won't need to use the slaves' numbers in the future." John recommends: "I feel like Jerry, Mitch, Pete, Shelton, Leonard are all a good fit for you. ”

"Thank you, I have a name, my name is Zalin, everyone will call me by it in the future."

"Zarin, yesterday I sent you to retrieve my treasure, and I also had a slave with the 'expertise' of stealing put a bug on Browning's wingman." John gave a smug look, "Of course I'm doing this to keep the castle safe. My clever move paid off immediately: we gained a piece of valuable information before the signal from the eavesdropper was beyond the maximum range I was tracking. ”

John motioned for everyone in the room to go out, leaving only Lin Zaishan and Fritsch the Wise, and then began to play the recording.

//////

A crew member said: "Alpha, we have completed the delivery task requested by Xiao Budian, please indicate where to fly next." ”

Browning's voice commanded: "I have just received information from the headquarters that our special service team is 350 kilometers north and is besieged by a large number of corpses, and the situation is critical. Because we were the closest flight team to them, headquarters asked us to go to the rescue immediately. ”

"Roger, how is the original mission of going south to the Fran Arsenal arranged?"

"Hold it off for the time being, until we get the special service team back to headquarters. I believe that the vast array of advanced weapons in Fran's arsenal will not run away on their own or be vaporized by the scorching heat of Southern California. ”

//////

"Tell me, tell me, what valuable information did you find out from this recording?"

"The large number of corpses gathering 350 kilometers to the north is definitely something to be wary of for L.A., and we must take precautions as soon as possible." Lin Zaishan replied without hesitation.

"Anything else?" John looked at him mockingly.

Lin Zaishan glanced at the map on John's desk and asked in surprise, "Are you going to the Fran Arsenal to look for weapons?" ”

"Clever!" John praised, "But it's at least 70 kilometers from the castle, and before I send a large group of men to make a fortune, I need to make sure that the arsenal really has what I want." He smiled and patted Lin Zaishan on the shoulder, "I will leave the glorious mission of this preliminary reconnaissance to you......" he paused, "and the wisest elder in the world as far as I know, the dear Fritsie." ”
