The "Dream Guide" game global festival was very popular, with celebrities and tech celebrities from all walks of life coming to help, and a fire was ignited in the cold winter at the end of the year, allowing everyone to see the dawn of future technology in the depressed economic environment.

Mei Yiqiu originally didn't want to participate in this event, but she couldn't stand the repeated invitations of the organizers, and many bigwigs with the stage handed over the message, asking him to attend and have a speech.

Mei Yi had no choice but to agree. This can make Hou Biao nervous.

The start of the festival is set in Shenzhou. Shenzhou is very close to Wuzhong, and the personnel of Hou Biao's security company are enough, as long as you are careful, you can still protect the professor's safety. Moreover, Shenzhou is also the main sphere of influence of the Xia family, and Xia Wenyuan's eldest son, Xia Boyang, also promised to transfer all the security forces they can mobilize, plus the protection at the government level, Mei Yiqiu's safety can still be assured.

However, many customers in North America and Europe have expressed strong dissatisfaction and have asked for the main venue to be held in Los Angeles or Berlin.

Although Mei Yiqiu is the head of the Third Space Foundation, the development of the space box is a collection of the wisdom of nearly 100 scientists around the world and the efforts of dozens of laboratories, and he cannot take a big credit for it. In addition, foreign capital that wants a piece of the pie has long been red-eyed, and he is afraid that those people will stir up a pot of for you if they can't drink the soup, so he has to consider it carefully.

After discussion with the organizers, the original Shenzhou event remained unchanged, and on this basis, an additional event was added in Los Angeles. Both events will be broadcast globally and will be spaced one week apart. In order to take care of the feelings of the audience and players, the organizers split the content of the original event into two parts. Los Angeles focuses on gaming experience and entertainment, while Shenzhou focuses on the upgrading of space boxes and the prospect of future technology. Such a hard and soft arrangement, it can be said that the arrangement is not inappropriate, it can be regarded as painstaking.

Mei Yiqiu had to run in two places, and just after participating in the Shenzhou event, she went to Los Angeles.

Hou Biao is nervous about the security problem in Los Angeles. Neither he nor the Xia family can penetrate into the corners of Los Angeles, so it is naturally impossible to guarantee the safety of the professor 100%. And if he can't believe the U.S. government's promises, it's not a matter of security level, but you don't know how many of those people are reliable.

From boarding the plane to the hotel to the venue, every idle person may be a parasite, and Hou Biao has to be cautious.

Fortunately, the Xia family arranged a special plane to pick him up, and Hou Biao contacted the young master of the Wolf family, Mr. Qui Wolfe. This is what Aoki once explained to him, and in case of trouble in the future and you need to use the power of North America, you can contact this Young Master Kui.

Qui Wolf did not attend the ceremony in person, because the elder Wolf was ill and his relatives could not leave for a moment, especially him, the heir to the family mission. But he boldly agreed to Hou Biao's request, mobilized all the forces in Los Angeles in the family and gang, and added a layer of protection to the entire grand event.

Even so, Hou Biao still barely left Mei Yiqiu, and he never dared to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. If there was an accident at this juncture, he would not be able to explain it to Aoki.

Although Aoki hasn't been back for a year, and Hou Biao doesn't know if he can see Aoki again, he understands what kind of company the security company he opened is, and what the meaning of what he is doing.

He was once an exiled bandit, a bedbug living in the gutter, and he was no different from dead. But now, he's alive, from the time he walked into the bar that was still being renovated with his bag, into the studio upstairs of the bar, and said, "I'm here, you'll have to give me food and shelter in the future." "From that moment on, he lived.

He watched the sun rise every day, illuminating the earth and the rest of his life.

Approaching the end of the year, Mei Yiqiu wanted to go to Los Angeles, so she simply gave the laboratory an early vacation, and everyone got a lot of bonuses and went home happily for the New Year.

There was only one old man left in the lab.

Lao Yutou is a watchman in the computer room, not a doorkeeper. The security and intelligence of the laboratory are very high, and there is no need to look at the door, but the computer room still needs to be watched. Because of several special experiments, the computer room is constantly running, including several server farms and some experimental equipment. Although these have long been intelligently managed, they can be operated remotely, and even if there is a power outage, there is backup power and automatic power generation equipment. But in any case, until artificial intelligence develops to the point where it completely replaces human work, there will always be a need for people to watch.

Lao Yu's job is very simple, it is to watch. Walking around a few fixed rooms every day, and not knowing what the stuff in those rooms does, because you don't need to know at all. He just had to see if the lights were on, and if the faint humming of the machine was normal.

Or in fact, even these don't need to be seen, his real task is to in case of accidents, such as fires, earthquakes, etc., how to carry out rescue protection in the first time, before the security company and the fire brigade come, so that the loss of the laboratory can be minimized.

Of course, this kind of thing is impossible for Lao Yu to do alone, although Lao Yu has been trained, he is not professional after all, does not understand science, and has no culture. In addition to Lao Yu, there were originally more professional duty staff upstairs. In previous years, there was a staff member on duty upstairs and downstairs, a security guard downstairs, and a scientist upstairs.

But this year is different, the upstairs duty staff has been removed, according to the people in the building, now they are all artificial intelligence + remote control, and there is no need for people on duty. But Lao Yu always felt that it was not that he had relaxed his vigilance, but that he had become more nervous. The upstairs door is very difficult to enter, what kind of high-level authorization is required, what genetic certification is required, Lao Yu does not understand, Lao Yu only knows, the professor does not want someone to stay upstairs when he is not there.

He could see that Professor Mei didn't seem to trust anyone except a few people close to him, but preferred to trust machines and some ordinary people like Lao Yu.

Professor Mei went abroad with the team, gave everyone else a vacation, and left Lao Yu behind. Lao Yu felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, like when he was young in the hardware store, and the boss let him live in the shop and handed him the key.

Lao Yu was originally reluctant to work in such a high-level laboratory, but he couldn't find a job, and a person who had been in prison twice and had gray hair, where else could he work?

He wanted to go home, but when he thought that his relatives in his hometown were long gone, and the younger generation was not familiar with him, he didn't have the courage to set foot on the road back to his hometown. He thought of Lao Zhao, as well as Lao Zhao's dead daughter, and of course, Zhao Pengcheng, who is now missing.

The man who got him out of prison gave him an address and told him to go there if he was in trouble. He found the place, and found that it was a bar, but he couldn't work in the bar, it was a place for young people, and he was a bad old man, even if he was cleaning, it was awkward for others to look at.

Later, someone took him to the Mei's Experimental Building. An old professor with hair as white as him said to him, "Oh, you're Yu Jianguo, I know, Aoki told me about you, so what do you want to stay and do?" ”

Lao Yu knew that Aoki was the one who accompanied him to eat family meals in prison, so he said, "I'm a security guard, I worked in the security department of the hospital, and I was in charge of ......." ”

The professor took his pipe in his mouth and said, "Oh, yes, yes, then you can stay and do whatever you want." ”
