On the asteroid number 265, in the warehouse of the main base of 9786, Lu An has been lying in the cabin brain for more than half an hour.

The progress was even smoother than he had imagined, and in order to rewrite the underlying code, he thought he would have to endure the slow network latency, and then use the Shadow Heart's permissions to invade this emergency network, and obtain the underlying permissions before he could rewrite those frameworks.

However, perhaps because of the long period of time, the security privileges of this military emergency network are so easy to obtain, as if after the baptism of time, those extremely strong security fortresses of 400 years ago have become as fragile as paper due to technological backwardness.

In prehistoric times, human beings had built countless cities on the earth, with brick and stone walls and river ditches as pools, thinking that this was an impregnable defense. However, when mankind mastered the power of gunpowder and became equipped with guns, those cities that were once like moats were immediately destroyed.

However, this is not because of some specific force, but simply because they are already behind. The erosion of time will hollow out the base of all the solid power in this world, and make everything that was once proud worthless.

It was so easy that it didn't even make Lu Anxin suspicious, so he repeatedly confirmed, knowing that his forehead began to sweat slightly, and then he believed that it was not how superb his skills were, or that he had fallen into a trap somewhere because of ignorance, but that this network was indeed too backward.

"These logistics construction people in the army should really be pulled out and shot one by one. An emergency communication network that the army relies on as a last resort can really not be upgraded and maintained for 400 years! I really don't know how the Coalition Government Headquarters won the last war with such a terrible logistics system. No wonder the Martians have been unconvinced, if I knew such a situation, I would not accept it either! ”

Lu An, who originally thought that it would be good to be able to modify the underlying code this time, found that he had completed the task ahead of schedule, and after thinking about it, he simply entered the "Heart of Shadows" and tried the modified effect according to his own ideas.

He had already made up his mind that he would not enter the "Shadow Heart" again until he was sure that the network latency was no longer so severe. After all, the kind of scene switching like the speed of light, the kind of fragment waiting for the picture to be still, really made him feel a depressed anger in his heart.

However, this time, he couldn't help but come in and see the results of his experiments.

It was still the familiar green grass and poplar courtyard, and the crimson petals were still falling in the sky. And this time, Lu An looked up, and the falling crimson petals were actually spilling at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although there is still the phenomenon of Dunka, it is already very satisfying to Lu An.

"It seems that my conjecture is still valid. These 400-year-old networks are really incompatible with the interstellar quantum synchronization networks commonly used today! ”

However, Lu An, who looked up, didn't see it.

The moment he entered the Heart of Shadows, among the more than 90,000 petals falling from the sky, there was a petal that was originally slow enough to be different from all the petals around it, but the speed of its fall suddenly accelerated, becoming closer to the surrounding petals.

This petal is so inconspicuous, and in the courtyard that no one pays attention to, so it appears silently, quietly blending in with the more than 90,000 crimson petals around it, and is born, accelerated, and grown without anyone knowing......

Among the crimson petals scattered all over the sky, Lu An took three steps, and after waiting for a few minutes, he felt that a flower appeared in front of him three steps away. It's as if it suddenly accelerates and stops, but there is no inertia at all.

"It's finally a lot better than the previous light-speed drift scene switching."

Then, Lu An kept walking around the courtyard, experimenting with the accurate network latency in today's situation.

"About four minutes and thirty seconds! Hmm-"

Standing in front of the huge oak door bandit, staring at the two clowns bowing on the door, Lu An frowned and thought for a long time before stepping into the "Recording Corridor".

Take a few steps, stop, turn around and face each card, then look at each card for four or five minutes before turning around and moving on to the next card.

After walking for an hour, Lu An entered the hall.

Although it took more than forty minutes to walk into the hall at the speed of light last time, it was not as lucky and thrilling as the last time to stop in front of the throne. If there was a slight mistake that time, Lu An might fall headlong on the throne, or stand a few steps away from the throne in a daze for a long time, in short, he would make a big joke.

And this time, Lu An counted the number of steps, walked to the throne in one go, turned around and sat down, without pausing at all.

"Whew-"

After sitting down, Lu An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had also entered the hall several times before, sitting on a throne and facing the many playing cards of the "Heart of Shadows".

However, since Lu An came to the asteroid belt, he found for the first time that those things that he was accustomed to in the past can make people feel so happy at a time like this.

Often the loss after possession can make people know how to cherish it.

"Today's king seems to be in a good mood, not as serious as last time, but today he is smiling!"

"yes......"

"I wanted to slip away just now......"

Lu An didn't know that since his furious attack in December last year, the poker players of "Shadow Heart" had gradually developed a sense of awe for him. Even though only six members of the Caucus and Hyakue Tanaka were present at the "Whistle Briefing", these things inevitably came out.

After all, in this organization, the most common thing that everyone used to communicate with each other was the exchange of intelligence information.

Such a secret and exciting thing, how can those poker cards who have no chance to see it not be curious?

In addition, Lu An's stiff and indifferent and expressionless behavior last time made the members of the organization who saw "Wang" for the first time after the incident in December even more suspicious in their hearts, although they were not trembling, but they were inevitably a little afraid.

This time, Lu An seems to have recovered some "impression" losses.

Not long after Lu An sat down, he observed the people sitting in the seats, and was disappointed to find that Wu Renli, the "Eight of Hearts" he hoped to go online the most, did not sit in the seat.

I don't know if it's the unspoken rule of this organization, or if there is some reason that Lu An doesn't know, he has already discovered after entering and leaving the hall of the "Shadow Heart" a few times that only the six members of the core group will only sit in their seats when they are in the hall.

When they came online to the Shadow Hearts' system, they were either in their rooms or seated in the halls, rarely getting up to hang out or talk to people.

The rest of the ordinary poker players spend a lot of their time wandering around the halls, talking to someone, gathering a few people to make small talk, or just sitting in a group to discuss.

It's certainly not because the six Caucuses are big, sit in their seats to show their unique status, or they don't bother to move.

The reason for this is partly because they still retain a habit that they have developed from a long time ago, that is, the habit of keeping their identities secret. Now the actions of these young poker players make them shake their heads, and naturally they will not go up to echo it.

On the other hand, they have been in the organization long enough that their habitual feelings of spatial distance have long been blurred, even if they are dozens of meters away, separated by many figures or several actions, they can communicate as if they were face-to-face. Instead of being like these young playing cards, they still retain the habit of being outside, and they have to see each other to talk, and they have to face each other to make small talk.

Although Lu An didn't know the reason for this, it didn't prevent him from grasping this characteristic to find a six-person core group. However, in fact, it is no longer a six-person caucus, but a seven-member caucus.

Lu An hadn't been here for a long time, and he hadn't met with Tanaka Hyamoe; He didn't know that the current "Six of Spades" had quickly become on par with these six people, and as long as they appeared in the hall, they would sit in their seats.

Of course, Tanaka Hyakue is out of pure imitation, "Perhaps, it seems more calm? ”

Lu An deliberately frowned and shouted to all the members: "Hmm? Is the Eight of Hearts not there? ”

After saying that, he glanced around regretfully, and then pretended to bow his head in contemplation, waiting for a response that would come in four or five minutes.

The playing cards in the hall, after listening to Lu An's question, immediately looked at each other.

"What is this 'king' going to do? Are you looking for the eight of hearts? Or ......"

Seeing RedJoker sitting on the throne bowing his head regretfully, there was finally a playing card in the hall who dared to ask: "Do you need to call him online now?" ”

But the RedJoker on the other side didn't seem to hear it, just lowered his head and pondered, and the atmosphere in the hall quickly became depressed, and the person who wanted to slip away just now had the idea of going offline again.

Fortunately, when the oppressive atmosphere in the hall reached its peak five minutes later, RedJoker, who was sitting on the throne, looked up with a smile and said, "Forget it, no need, don't bother him with trivial matters." Thank you, though. Now, is there an eight of that suit online? Trouble come forward, I have something to ask for advice......"

A trifle? Was he hesitating to call the "Eight of Hearts" directly? Oh –

However, deliberately looking for the "eight of hearts" failed, and to find other suits of "eight", it seems that there are some electronic technical problems?

There was a poker that even flashed some malicious thoughts in my heart.

"It can't be that this king's private brain is broken and he can't repair it, so he deliberately ran up to ask for help, right?"

Indeed, if you are not afraid of revealing your identity, the "Shadow Heart" does gather the top elites in various fields, and some problems that are difficult for outsiders are just easy for them.

And Lu An's original intention is indeed not far from this slander.

Fortunately, in the hall at this time, although the "Eight of Hearts" Wu Renli was not there, there was a square eight online, and everyone's eyes naturally focused on him, and he also stepped forward nervously and stood in front of the throne.

In the conversation that followed, Lu An naturally wouldn't broadcast loudly, and everyone only saw that the king had said only two words, and Fang Ba laughed reservedly.
