"What? You're going to cut your hair? ”

Su Ruyu stared, but her confused eyes looked behind Lu An.

Lu An nodded helplessly.

"How do you know I have this machine here?"

"Uh, no? Excuse me......"

Lu Anxin was a little disappointed, could it really be that he could hide in the monitoring post for a month with a bare head before he could appear in front of this woman again?

"Who said it, of course it is here, and who said it didn't?!"

Lu An looked at the female military doctor who was obviously drunk speechlessly, and asked, "If so, can you ......?"

"Yes, yes, but ......"

Su Ruyu said, pulling her scattered hair out of her clothes, and the strength made Lu An look at it hurt a little, but she pulled it out without changing her face, making Lu Anzhong believe in her judgment more and more: This woman is really drunk, and she is so drunk that she is almost unconscious, so she is so incompatible.

So Lu An now thinks that she shouldn't be called Su Ruyu, she should be called Su Ruzui.

After about a minute, Su Ruyu pulled out all the hair that was folded in her clothes.

"Do you look at my hair, like you used that machine?"

Lu An looked at her hair hanging down to the ground, and then thought about the height at which she stood up.

Uh, waist-length long hair, how long has it been since this had a haircut?! No, it's not just waist-grabbing, I'm afraid it can cover your knees!

Lu An touched his flowing shoulder-length hair, and suddenly felt much more comfortable.

"So, the machine ......"

"It's simple, it's broken!" Su Ruyu threw her hair behind the chair and said with a hiccup.

Lu An couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

What can be said in one sentence, why did you go earlier! Be careful to get up and step on your own hair for a while, hum!

"If you apply,......

"Apply? What to apply for? ”

"Get a new one."

Su Ruyu leaned on the table weakly and said in a muffled voice, "Boy, do you know how long it will take for a spaceship to deliver supplies to arrive here?" ”

Lu An nodded and said, "I know, half a year." ”

"Then you didn't notice that this place was isolated from the world, and there was no contact with the outside world at all?"

"I know."

"Have you ever wondered when the next time you can apply?"

"Well, in four months at the earliest."

Last time, Liu Yuan took Lu An to the asteroid number 265, and he came over on a spaceship to transport supplies. So if Lu An wants to meet a third person at Base 9786, it will probably be four months later.

"And when will you be able to meet that machine that I don't know if it's good or bad?"

Lu An blinked and said, "It should be ten months later." ”

Su Ruyu raised her head, leaned back in her chair, sneered and said, "Then you are also overestimating those bureaucrats on Mars, those people in the 2nd Fleet are only staring at the 12th Signs, and it is a great luck that the other bases in the asteroid belt have not been abolished." Request a new machine? Heh, if they hadn't been for a year, you wouldn't have seen that machine. ”

"Well, it won't be until two years later!"

Su Ruyu nodded heavily, and then smiled contemptuously: "The machine I saw may not be usable, I applied three times before, and only one lasted for half a year." Oh, I'm so lucky that I can use it. Tsk, tsk......"

This kind of hairdressing machine is not a durable product, and it basically has to be replaced every two years, and even many ordinary people replace it every six months or a year. Just think about the long distance from Mars to and from the asteroid belt, and the usual procrastination of the bureaucrats of the 2nd Fleet that Su Ruyu said, Lu An understands why these machines break so easily.

After a long journey, perhaps exhausted by the machines, they went on strike at Base 9786 in protest against this inhumane act.

Lu An shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, it can be used for half a year, anyway, even if it can't be used, it is necessary to make that group of bureaucrats not so relaxed and comfortable, and they will always be disgusting and disgusting." ”

"Whatever."

Su Ruyu yawned again, waved her hand and said, "Are you going to go online again?" Go for it, it's so slow, it's crashingly slow, and I really admire that you can hold on for so long. ”

"It's better to have an internet than not to have a network, and while network latency is unavoidable, it can always be shortened to a tolerable point, such as a minute round trip."

When Su Ruyu heard this, she suddenly became energetic again, she straightened up and asked, "Oh? Do you have a solution? ”

Lu An shook his head and said, "Not yet, I'm just here to find a way." ”

When he entered the warehouse and lay in the cabin brain and waited for the system to start, Lu An suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

In front of Su Ruyu just now, he deliberately didn't tell the truth, because if he wanted to explain to her how to eliminate network latency, he would probably have to talk for a long time, and Lu An didn't want to explain a completely unimportant issue with the pungent smell of wine.

For Lu An, his patience will only be spent on those he thinks are worth spending his patience on, such as his relatives, such as his friends, which of course does not include this drunken and unself-conscious Su Ruyu.

The cabin-type brain system buzzed to start, and as the picture changed, Lu An put everything outside behind for the time being, whether it was flowing long hair, a damaged machine, or the speechless female military doctor.

Four days ago, Lu An had finally broken through the gap between the pre-interstellar emergency communication network and the quantum synchronization network that was now common to mankind, although what he saw was a footage of light-speed drift. But this is much better than the isolation situation he thought he had before.

The embarrassing encounter in the Heart of the Shadows, the initial annoyance and anger have now passed, and in the past three or four days, Lu An has been thinking hard about how to reduce network latency.

First of all, on this deserted and lonely asteroid, it is of course impossible to have millisecond latency like the interstellar synchronization network, which is a natural obstacle.

This universe is a material world, and the human will can transform the world, but it cannot transcend the world.

On this basis, can the current delay that is not like words to be completely unbearable be reduced to be more like words, reduced to more bearable?

Two days ago, Lu An squatted on the ground of the monitoring post, endured the situation without paper and pen, carefully analyzed the process of his return to the human world, and found two places that could be broken through.

One is that in order to explore the way home, I searched through almost all the nodes of the emergency communication network and checked all the routes that could be jumped.

And when he found the last door, behind him was a routing path that jumped more than a dozen nodes, which was like a straight road because the walker was groping with his eyes closed, so he walked out of a distance of more than ten times the distance in a straight line.

Lu An couldn't wait to return to the "human world" at that time, and naturally ignored this troublesome matter, and now this is where Lu An can start to improve. For example, finding a route that jumps directly and reducing the dozen or so nodes in the middle to a few, or even two or three, is the best.

Another point is that the network used by this asteroid number 265 is, after all, a structure built four hundred years ago, and Lu An is very skeptical that it has undergone real upgrades and maintenance in the past four hundred years, and even if it does, it is probably only to the extent of tinkering. After all, the house has already been built, and no matter how much you decorate it, you can't change the shape of the overall frame. And the network that Lu An is using now is still a network in the army, and with the chaos of the army's logistics management today, Lu An is even more suspicious that the age of this network is really twenty times his age.

On the contrary, the quantum synchronous network that is common in the human world today is a completely new architecture, a new theoretical basis, compared with the network before the interstellar calendar, it is like a building with new materials, new construction technology, and new appearance and shape.

Although the two can communicate now, they are really only communicating very reluctantly.

Two people who live in different areas of the earth who don't know each other, if they meet for the first time, if there is no brain translation, it is not completely impossible to communicate, they can communicate through gestures, expressions, postures and other means, but how can the efficiency be compared with the real-time synchronous translation of the brain and the brain?

The second breakthrough point that Lu An thought of was to modify the underlying architecture of this emergency communication network, adding a warship's engine to a dilapidated flying car, maybe the flying car would be very dangerous, but the short-term burst speed could still keep up with the speed of the spaceship of the "Interstellar Quantum Synchronization Network".

It is necessary to be able to return to the Heart of the Shadows in a normal manner, and then use the power of this organization to brainstorm ideas that may be able to completely transform the "dilapidated flying car" into a "dilapidated spaceship".

Otherwise, with Lu An's sense of teleportation, even if he entered the room of the "Heart of Shadows", he was afraid that he would not be able to find much useful information by lying in this steel coffin for a day.

Lu An was not without luck, he was also thinking that maybe the program of the "Shadow Heart" would have some hidden magical effect, and when he entered the room, there would be no more light-speed drifting pictures.

However, reality ruthlessly shattered his illusions, and after he sneaked into the room of "Plum K", he could only sigh helplessly in the face of the starry sky.

Ever since Lu An inadvertently pushed open the room of "Plum Blossom K" and discovered his hidden permissions, he basically regarded this vacant room as his own room, coming and going at will. The starlight in this room is like a galaxy in the sky, and he is naturally very familiar with it.

Today, the stars still blinked, but they flickered as if they had slowed down tenfold in slow motion.

There's still a delay here!

Lu Anxin sighed helplessly, and silently left the room, it seems that if he wants to solve the problem of network latency, he can only rely on himself, and he can't pray that some miracle will happen.

Now we can only start to reduce the number of nodes that route jump, reduce the network latency first, and then further modify the underlying architecture of the network, install a powerful engine on it and let it fly first.

It's just that Lu An, who was in the castle of the "Heart of Shadows", didn't know that after he entered the room of "Plum Blossom K", among the crimson petals falling from the courtyard outside, there was an inconspicuous petal that suddenly accelerated its falling speed.

Although the speed of this petal is still a little sluggish, it is more in harmony with the petals that are spilling at a uniform speed than before.
