Chapter 178: Saving Illano

"The truth is true, but we can't pin all our hopes on this kid, both sides tried their best last time, and when the sixth explosion occurred, how could we win?" What General Lahe means is that the dignified Aojia Empire, except for Chen Fang, can't find a decent data division, according to the information, there are three data divisions in the anti-terrorism team, Qiao Nan, Aduyo, and Townsend are all famous figures.

"It's not just a question of who is strong and who is weak, there are many aspects involved in the deduction, in addition to calculating the deviation of each explosion, there is also the effect of the earth's crust, which requires a lot of knowledge. The terrorists had planned in advance, and they must have gathered relevant information and the assistance of experts, but we were not well prepared.

In retrospect, the last deduction was almost completed by Chen Fang alone, which was certainly suspected of being unfavorable when the China Security Bureau was unfavorable, but also because Chen Fang himself was not good at cooperating with others.

"I'll try it this time." Townsend was eager to give it a try.

As Townsend, the decision to try was extremely difficult, and he had witnessed Chen Fang's deduction, but he couldn't think of a more concise way. The only thing that can be relied on is cooperation, with the assistance of hundreds of experts, although Chen Fang is a dark horse, he was unknown before, and the deduction was only two hours slower than the terrorists, with his identity, plus the assistance of the rat den experts, if it is lower than this result, this old face will be lost, however, everyone who knows him is in awe of his actions, as the Taishan Beidou of the academic community, it is rare to be able to maintain this ordinary heart.

Townsend took the initiative to ask to try, in addition to itchy hands, but also for Chen Fang's next deduction, first a deduction, with the experience of cooperation, the experts of the rat cave can give Chen Fang efficient help in the next deduction.

Townsend's name is well known, and his appearance not only affects the victory, but also becomes a performance. Everyone wants to see this predecessor in style.

Around Townsend made enough preparations to be embarrassed, and when he saw this battle, he couldn't help but regret faintly, if he made a fool of himself in public, he wouldn't have to mix it up in the future.

With Townsend's level, he will naturally not make a fool of himself, even if his ability is limited, it is not something that a layman can see, in addition, Townsend transferred the top data terminal in the rat's den, which completely avoids the pain of waiting for the calculation.

The more he deduced, the more terrifying Townsend felt, despite his full preparations, the speed still couldn't surpass Chen Fang, this time, he had a strong backup group, a top-level data terminal, but he lost in hand speed, Chen Fang's hand speed can be used to control mecha combat, almost reaching the limit of human beings, no one can match.

By the fourth day, Townsend was desperately waiting for news of the Illano explosion, and his deduction was still not over.

The coordinates of the explosion appeared on the display in the conference hall, not on the data terminal used by Townshend.

This is impossible, Townsend stood stunned on the spot, he didn't waste a second of his time fighting all the way, his fingers kept flying on the keyboard, and the assistance of the expert group was also powerful, why could terrorists be faster?

Townsend pondered and analyzed with the eyes of a data scientist, there are only two possibilities, the first is that terrorists use a simpler deduction method, Townsend understands that there is a truth outside the sky, and at the same time there is no lack of self-confidence, and the calculation of details may be able to squeeze out a small part of the time, but it is still not fast to this extent, this possibility can be ruled out. The second possibility is that the other party has more than one data engineer, and the deduction is divided into several parts, and multiple data engineers deduce separately, provided that all the data engineers involved in the deduction must be first-class.

There are not many data divisions in the first place, and some of the skills have been poached by the government, and it is rare for terrorists to win over one, and it seems unlikely that they can find more, but other than that, Townsend can no longer think of other possibilities.

Now that the number of terrorists has been guessed, countermeasures have emerged, and the counter-terrorism team has more than one data division, and can also follow the methods of terrorists. After testing, Qiao Nan and Aduyo's ability is not yet available, so there are only two people in the anti-terrorism team.

As soon as the coordinates of the fifth explosion were announced, the sixth battle was also launched, Chen Fang did not waste a minute or a second, and rushed straight to the side of the data terminal to carry out the deduction, and after a while, Townsend came with another data terminal and informed Chen Fang of his own speculation and countermeasures.

"You preside over the deduction, and I will lead the expert group to assist." Seeing that Chen Fang refused to say anything, Townsend said angrily: "Boy, this is not a battle for you alone, this is a battle between the empire and terrorists, I have considered it, terrorists have more than one data division, and there is no shame in finding someone to cooperate, you can't compete with the power of the group with your personal strength, it is a matter of life and death for billions of people, you have no right to do it!" ”

Without waiting for Chen to open his mouth, Townsend ordered someone to connect the two data terminals together.

The so-called deduction is not separated in order, the steps of deduction are interlocking, and if you don't complete the previous part, you can't enter the following part, only the top data engineer can understand the next action of the partner, help process the detailed data, and calculate it before the partner needs these data, if you don't have such a ability, not only can it not help, but it will also become a burden, affecting the process of deduction, which is why Qiao Nan and Aduyo are not qualified to join.

Even the layman can see that this cooperation between the old and the young is successful, tacit and efficient. They couldn't understand the division of labor between the two, but in terms of hand speed, Chen Fang seemed to be more stylish.

The top data terminal brings a smooth and dripping computing speed, Chen Fang does not need to wait in distress, and pushes the hand speed to the extreme again and again, it is difficult for onlookers to see what instructions he enters, unconsciously, a faint afterimage looms, and a different feeling gradually condenses at the fingertips, and there is a vague tendency to spread.

"Stinky boy, you give Lao Tzu a little leisure, there are still two days, countless workloads, if you don't know how to control the hand speed, you don't have to wait until tomorrow, your claws can be scrapped." Townsend was taken aback by the vision in front of him, not everyone has the ability to push the limit, and challenging the limit is not as ordinary people think, it will definitely bring a breakthrough leap.

The human body is the most sophisticated biological machine, and any machine has a limit to endure, and the so-called limit is the protection of this precision machine, which is like the designer would never install a super engine on a civilian-level mecha, because this kind of attempt can only make the overwhelmed civilian-level mecha fall apart.

Pushing the limits of human vulnerability can often mean injury, or overdraft, and Townsend doesn't want to see a promising young man pay the price of stupidity for his success.

In Jiang Qing's office, the clouds were thick, and the atmosphere was depressing and scary.

"We can't wait any longer, it's time for us to act." The director of national security suddenly stood up from his chair.

"You mean migration." For a few days, the people in the house thought about the migration, but no one wanted to say it.

"We have no choice." The director of national security said calmly.

"Maybe Dr. Townsend can stop the terrorists." Jiang Qing hesitated, and the interstellar migration caused by the threat of terrorist activities had no precedent in the history of the Aojia Empire.

"Dr. Townsend is doing his best, and we must give it our all." The director of national security stood by his opinion.

"The explosion caused a crack in the north of Illano that is two hundred meters wide and more than three thousand meters deep, the structure of the earth's crust is already threatened, the planet is extremely fragile, perhaps, without waiting for the seventh explosion, it will split in half from the middle, I am in favor of migration." General Rahe seconded.

"What about your opinion?" Jiang Qing took the initiative to find Bruce.

"Migration." This kind of problem is completely unnecessary.

"You want to move to a planet with a history of more than 4,000 years and a population of 3 billion people, and even if I am willing to issue an order, it will be difficult to carry it out. With two explosions left, three billion people can be displaced in no more than five days? This is an interstellar migration, and all kinds of resources are not enough. Jiang Qing was still worried.

"I've probably calculated that with Illano's resources, 3.7 percent of the people can be relocated in five days." Bruce gave the data on the spot, a paltry number that brought a hint of joy to the people in the room.

"What about the remaining 96 percent? Do you want to throw them down. Jiang Qing asked rhetorically.

"This is a last resort, we are not throwing 96 percent of the people, but saving 4 percent, this number is already very exciting, at least let the aristocracy move away, and also take away some women and children, so that it is easy to explain to the common people." The director of the FBI who arrived in a hurry also joined the ranks of solidarity with the migration, as well as the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Treasury.

Jiang Qing finally understood.

It's a forced palace. Although these powerful people are usually incompatible, they have the same characteristic, they are all nobles, and they only need to protect the interests of the nobles, so when it comes to migration, 3.7 percent is enough for them.

Jiang Qing has stood with wise secretaries of state since the day he came to power, and has almost become the executive officer of the secretary of state, so he has not been pressured by the aristocratic class, which also makes him a little carried away, the head of the Aojia Empire is just a puppet at best, and these powerful people are not making suggestions, they just need an order from the head of state.

"I'm sorry, I almost forgot who I was. I am not against migration, but I cannot do it if I sign such an order. Jiang Qing flatly refused.

"Bang." The Secretary of State slapped the table vigorously and glared at Jiang Qing angrily.

"Your Excellency, even you advocate migration?" Jiang Qing, who had lost his last pillar, felt a burst of weakness.

"Of course you have to move, what is 3.7 percent, that's 100 million imperial citizens, as the Führer, you can instinctively save them, don't you save them?" The Secretary of State's righteous and awe-inspiring lesson.

People with ulterior motives have quietly breathed a sigh of relief, before the forced palace, what they were most worried about was that the secretary of state would make trouble halfway, and now it seems that this worry is purely superfluous. Although the secretary of state is deeply respected by the people, he is also a nobleman after all, and he is still an out-and-out upper-class nobleman, and it is natural for them to speak from the standpoint of the aristocracy, and their eyes when they look at the secretary of state are also quietly changing, and everyone is on the same front.

In this regard, Bruce was also embarrassed, this old man's wisdom was far from being seen through by ordinary people, he was sure that the Secretary of State would never throw civilians aside, he was maneuvering, and Jiang Qing, the Führer, was still too tender.

Jiang Qing, who was isolated and helpless, was forced to sign the order to move Irano, and the faces of the director of national security and others looked much better, after all, their own interests could be worry-free.

"You are all the pillars of the empire, and your interests should be protected first, but the old and ugly words are ahead, and the national disaster is at the head, I hope everyone can work together to minimize Illano's losses as much as possible." After the order was issued, the Secretary of State suddenly turned cold.

"It's natural, the secretary of state has a proposition but it doesn't matter, and he will do everything he can." With the guarantee of the Minister of Finance, there is no need to worry about funding.

As the director of the CIA, Bruce knows very well the weight of this sentence, Hawke can say such a thing, mainly out of favor, without the ability of the intelligence agency, he can also hear that among his seven wives, two of his ancestral homes are in Illano, and there must be many relatives of the seventh aunt and the eighth aunt.

The director of the FBI also said that all those within the ability of the bureau will fully cooperate, and with the two leaders, the rest of the people have also expressed their full cooperation with the migration operation.

Illano was the former political and economic center of the empire, and a review of the CIA archives shows that some of these people had relatives living in Illano, even the secretary of state.

This group of people led by the director of the National Security Bureau is not a whim and came to force the palace, they represent the interests of a huge aristocracy, maybe they are outside

"It's all our own people, you might as well spread it out and say, the proportion of 3.7 percent is too small, just let the aristocracy escape, our old face is not disgraceful, what do you say?" The Secretary asked.

"Of course, of course, my opinion is also to save as many civilians as possible. According to our analysis, with the support of neighboring planets, the number of migrants can reach seven percent, and I immediately ordered the collection of aircraft from neighboring planets, and Brother Hawke can take care of more money. The director of the investigation gave the order on the spot.

"Even if the seventh explosion becomes a reality, Illano will not crack immediately, it will take at least a few days of process, and the rescue cannot be abandoned, as long as it is used, another two percent can be rescued."

"In fact, Illano is split in half, the biggest threat is that the protective shield disappears, and the gravitational pull disappears with it, and people are like being thrown into outer space, if there are enough life-sustaining equipment, they can still survive temporarily, and the rescue operation can still continue."

"Yes, we need a large number of lifeboats, as well as life-saving armor, time is pressing, we can mobilize as many as we can." The intelligence chief gave more detailed figures on the spot.

The use of lifeboats also said in the past, lifeguards are outrageous, due to the simple function, the price is slightly lower than the common mecha, but it is by no means cheap, considering the huge number, Hawke couldn't help frowning, these two things are used for self-rescue in the event of a plane crash, the price is expensive, the number is limited, it is impossible to mobilize enough in a short period of time, and only as they said, whether it is a lifeboat or a lifeguard, how much can be mobilized.

Although he promised to do his best in advance, as the Minister of Finance, he could not completely ignore the cost, and Hawke's old face loomed.

"Also, Illano is located in the southern part of the empire, adjacent to foreign countries, and we should not give up the help of our neighbors." When domestic forces were emptied, Bruce reminded in time.

"You can rest assured that the support from the state will be endless, and we must mobilize all the forces we can muster, including the mercenaries." No one questioned the Secretary of State's words, and after the deployment was done, everyone went their separate ways

An unprecedented migration began rapidly in Illano, and a large number of lifeboats loaded with life-saving armor set off for Illano in the following hours.

Jiang Qing witnessed the comedic reversal of the situation, and the number of people who could be saved changed again and again, and in the end, it snowballed to an unbelievable thirty-one percent, even though these numbers were based on speculation, it was enough to make people feel gratified.

Now, Jiang Qing did not dare to doubt the motives of the Secretary of State, and could only feel deeply ashamed of his naivety.

The coercion of the director of national security and others is not just a whim, they are exercising their privileges on behalf of the aristocracy, if they are refused, they will inevitably lose their support, and at that time, let alone ensuring the fairness of the migration, it will not be easy for him, the head of state, to transfer a ship.

The contradiction between the nobles and the commoners has been going on for a long time, this is not an irreconcilable contradiction, as the head of state, Jiang Qing should have handled it properly, but when the matter came, he was angry like a child and almost caused a catastrophe.

"I was disappointed today." When the office returned to calm, Jiang Qing expressed his apologies.

The secretary of state was noncommittal.

"Some words are not unpleasant, the nobles have too much power, and this status quo of Aojia is rare in any country." Jiang Qing complained to himself.

"Spit it out and you're happy? The old decay did not think that their demands were excessive. If the people in your office weren't aristocrats, but commoners, do you think they'd save someone else first and let their families stay in Illano to die? The Secretary of State asked suddenly.

"Of course not." Jiang Qing's mechanical answer.

"Since everyone makes self-interested decisions, why do you think the demands of the nobles are unreasonable?" The Secretary of State continued to ask.

"At the very least, it should be fair, and both commoners and nobles should have the right to live." Jiang Qing stubbornly insisted.

"What you say is not fair, it can only make all civilians trapped in Ilano." The secretary of state connected to the video while talking, and while listening to Jiang Qing's complaints, he contacted the three states adjacent to Illano.

"That's exactly what I admire about you, I almost messed things up." Jiang Qing said with emotion.

"The difference between a nobleman and a commoner is that you give privileges to a nobleman, and in return, he saves thousands of people. The same rights are given to a civilian, who can only let himself get into the ship first and escape for his life. The aristocracy guards honor and the empire, and in the final analysis, they are guarding privileges, and these are the guarantees of their privileges. Just like today, they don't mind rescuing civilians, provided that their relatives are given priority. You have deprived the nobles of their privileges, what else can you expect them to protect? You give priority to their loved ones, and they save more civilians for you, and that's what makes it fair. Don't forget, you are not only the head of the commoners, but also the head of the nobility. The Secretary of State, tired of hearing any more complaints, ended the conversation impatiently.

Chen Fang obediently slowed down his hand speed, and he didn't need to be reminded by others, he also knew the adverse consequences of being at the limit speed for a long time, and he couldn't afford to experience a disabled life for a period of time.

Chen Fang also affirmed one thing, there is definitely more than one data division in the terrorists' team, and the five explosions in a row are all completed with extremely fast speed, unless the opponent is a monster that does not need to rest and has six or seven pairs of dexterous claws.

Forty-five hours have passed since the fifth explosion, and the deduction has not yet been completed, Chen Fang, who had deliberately slept in advance, was also exhausted, and the elderly Dr. Townsend continued to fight, as if he had been old for ten years, and he was still fighting strongly, staring at a pair of panda eyes, and busy intently.

The destruction of Illano has already been generated, and a crack that runs through two-fifths of the planet's surface can be clearly seen through satellite images, and the severe damage to the earth's crust has led to frequent earthquakes, which has brought great resistance to rescue efforts, and the number of casualties reported in various places is constantly refreshing, testing the commander's heart to endure.

In Illano, a large number of rescue ships poured in like swarms, waiting for the route to land, but could only hover around the planet, densely blocking everything, plunging the well-lit planet into eternal darkness.

The rescue team included the Imperial Army, civil society, and international aid, and as the Secretary of State had predicted, international support would be endless.

This was followed by a large number of journalists, all of whom praised the rescue as a selfless, cross-border humanitarian aid and a miracle of human care.

Compared with the hot scene, the situation has not improved much, and no matter how many ships rush to arrive, they can only be crowded around Irano and cannot land, and the channel has become a bottleneck for rescue.

The sinking of Illano is irreversible, the only thing that can be done is to buy time, if the sixth or seventh explosion can be prevented, the fragmentation of Illano will be a slow process, otherwise, nothing can be changed in two days.

"In less than two days, if the sixth explosion cannot be prevented, the deduction of the seventh explosion is relatively simple, and it will be a very fast process." Chen Fang heard the surrounding discussions during the deduction and replied casually.

"How fast?" At the other end of the display, Rach jumped excitedly.

"Very fast." Chen Fang ended the conversation.
