Chapter 9: The Secret Behind It

When Lin Yongping opened the door of the bedroom, he thought that he would see his roommate Lu An sitting on the sofa reading a book, or lying on the sofa sleeping, just like the scene when he opened the door yesterday afternoon.

However, the living room was quiet, pitch black, and there was a plasma spray knife on the table, and the drawer was open and not closed.

"Did you go back to your room when the power went out?"

Lin Yongping breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his room.

Separated by a wall, in Lu An's room, when he heard his roommate's movement when he came back, Lu An just moved his ears.

He sat on the bed with his back against the wall, looking out the window, his hand gently stroking the slightly crumpled paper over and over again.

In order to avoid his gaffe being looked at by his roommate, Lu An returned to his room and locked himself up, so that after the excitement calmed down, he just wanted to slowly taste the precious taste of happiness in the dark.

Nostalgia, regret, satisfaction,......

All kinds of emotions, and so on.

It wasn't until late at night that Lu An was relieved from the emotions of his memories, and he was really twenty years old now.

"A man is twenty and crowned, and a man is crowned and a husband."

According to the etiquette of the legendary ancient Chinese people, a 20-year-old man performs a crown salute and crowns the name, and the man can start a family and assume all responsibilities.

Aren't his father and brother so eager to hope for him?

Lu An gently patted the paper in his hand on his chest, smiled and whispered, "Lu An, you have to be strong." Dad and brother are all looking at you. ”

With a slight tap on his wrist, the lights in the room flickered, the light cut through the darkness, and everything was back to normal.

Lu An was temporarily detached from his sad emotions.

"But what exactly are the numbers behind this piece of paper?"

Lu An held the paper aloft high, but there were no useful clues through the paper.

"Isn't there some magical pattern display, or is there a layer inside the paper that hides a shocking secret?"

Lu An put down the paper weakly, and laughed at himself a little dejectedly: "I'm a third-rate detective novel, have you read too much?" ”

But if it's a binary password and there's no key or cipher table, how do I interpret the numbers?

Do the binary "0" and "1" represent one character, or do four represent one character? Is it eight or sixteen?

It won't be about thirty-two.

Lu An counted just now, and the first string of numbers was only fifty-four.

If you want to interpret it, this should be the best place to start. The following three numbers are all hundreds of characters, and if there is no way, they will only bump around like headless flies.

And even knowing the number of character bits of these binary digits is useless. Who knows, it corresponds to hexadecimal or thirty-two or sixty-four numbers?

"However, my father and brother would never have written this series of numbers for no reason."

What is it exactly?

Lu An sighed helplessly, maybe he was still too stupid, obviously his brother could easily understand things, but he didn't have a clue when he thought about it.

Lu An could see it.

The following three numbers are written by three different people, and the different writing styles of "0" and "1" are obvious.

The last paragraph should be written by my brother, and the handwriting is obviously very new, which does not match this paper that is some years old, and Lu An recognizes his brother's handwriting.

Moreover, it can also be seen from the birthday wishes on the back of this piece of paper that it should be given to his brother by his father, and his brother gave it to himself, and it is impossible to fake someone else in the middle, so the second number is likely to be written by his father.

And who wrote the top paragraph? Lu An didn't know, and he didn't care much.

Since he couldn't find a clue for a while, Lu An had no choice but to put the paper on the bed beside him and picked up the strange metal card again.

Is this clown card that seems to be laughing but not laughing, crying but not crying, a playing card?

Is it just the cipher sheet of those numbers on that piece of paper?

Lu An shook his head, temporarily putting aside these meaningless speculations, he still had a question in his heart, which was very ridiculous but surfaced in Lu An's mind several times.

"How could there be a sudden power outage? And it was at the moment when I gave the little box a power connection. Could it be such a coincidence? ”

However, the box was really just an ordinary box, and although the material was a little rarer, it didn't look like something that could cause a power outage.

Forget it, how can there be such an unscientific thing in this world? I really dare to think about it.

Is it that I was so excited today that my emotions are abnormal? Do you really think that the world exists for you, that you are the center of the world?

The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there will always be a way.

"Today's mood is so chaotic, it's better to be quiet, and think of a way tomorrow."

The next morning, after Lin Yongping got up, he found that his roommate was already sitting on the sofa and was using his brain to check some information.

The layered and complex holographic projection interface made Lin Yongping smile slightly.

"Lu An, are you looking at the programming materials again?"

"yes, look something up."

"You went to bed pretty early last night."

"I can't do anything when the power goes out, even the network is cut off, so I have no choice but to sleep."

"I don't know what happened last night, but suddenly there was a massive malfunction. It is said that there are power outages in the 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th districts. ”

"I don't know." Lu An shook his head and said: "When I got up in the morning, I went to the Internet to take a look, hey, although everyone quarreled in private, but the announcement of the headquarters of the coalition government said that it was because of the occasional failure of the power supply center on the west coast of the Pacific Rim, and it returned to normal after replacing the equipment." ”

Lu An also shook his head in his heart, he was still thinking about it last night, wondering if it was caused by himself. As a result, when I woke up this morning and saw such a large impact, I had to laugh bitterly at myself.

If only I had that much of an impact, hehe......

"Really?"

Lin Yongping raised his eyebrows, nodded his brain, and after taking a look, he also shook his head and said, "It seems that this is preparing to suppress this matter." Just wait and see, maybe some breaking news will come out in the afternoon, and no one will care about it. ”

"Everyone knows this bit of, so what's the solution? The old men of the coalition government are cunning. Lu An shook his head, and suddenly asked curiously: "I heard that on your Mars, those news reporters dare to report anything and dare to say anything, is it true?" ”

"Uh,......" Lin Yongping laughed awkwardly, "That's the way it is." In fact, it is also situational. ”

As one of the giants of Mars, the Lin family's influence on the media is also unparalleled, and even the most famous gossip news media company on Mars is managed by Lin Yongping's cousin.

The news reporters on Mars really dare to say anything, even the Lin family's affairs, they dare to point fingers and sneer, but this is also a matter of what the situation is.

If Lin Yongping's uncles make some scandals and make some lace news, those reporters will definitely rush to it, because everyone will laugh at it at the end.

But if the old man of the Lin family had any private news, those reporters not only did not dare to rush up, but even had to retreat and take a detour, and smart people would take the initiative to nip the hidden danger of leakage in the bud.

Lin Yongping, as the "young master" of the Lin family, has been familiar with these things since he was a child, and he knows everything clearly, he knows that he can't tell the truth, but it's not easy to tell some lies in front of his roommates who get along day and night.

In his mind, Lu An is a friend, and if friends can not tell lies, don't tell lies, even if they are silent, it is better than lying and deceiving.

Fortunately, Lu An only mentioned it casually, and did not delve into the gossip psychology, he just nodded lightly and said:

"Oh."

"By the way, Lin Dashao, did you go to see your mentor yesterday? How so? ”

"Ahem,......, no."

Lin Yongping sighed lightly in his heart and replied: "Our homeroom teacher hasn't returned to school yet, and I went to bask in the sun on the island in District 1 yesterday." ”

"Tsk, tsk." Lu An smacked his lips and shook his head: "I'm going to die of heat at school this summer, I'm going to be dried into salted fish, and you have to go to the beach to bask in the sun." ”

Lin Yongping explained with a smile: "It's not that you don't know, it's winter at our house." The snow in Kunlun Sea this year is very heavy, and I am freezing enough. ”

However, even if the Mars were frozen into ice lumps, the young master of the Lin family would be at ease in the warm spring-like room, how could he be frozen enough?

That's just a deliberate joke.

"That's exactly what happened. People in winter always like summer, and people in summer love winter. However, Lin Dashao, you are free and unrestrained, which is really enviable. ”

Lu An teased while burying his head.

Free and uninhibited?

Lin Yongping looked at Lu An, who was bowing his head, but his eyes revealed helplessness.

Isn't it a joke to put these two words on yourself? A person who lives with disguise, who lives by deception and concealment every day, how can he talk about being free and unrestrained?

However, Lin Yongping, who was helpless, just smiled slightly and replied, "Isn't it winter in the fifteenth and seventh districts of the earth now?" ”

"Money, money, Lin Dashao, no money." Lu An raised his head, said with hatred, shook his head and asked:

"By the way, I asked it before. Where are you going to go during your internship? Although it is said to be an assignment, presumably the school will not go against the wishes of the young master of the Lin family, right? ”

"Me, I want to go to the moon or Europa."

After Lin Yongping finished speaking, he explained: "I grew up going to school on Mars, and I went to college here here for four years, and I rarely had time to go to the moon or Europa. If it's an internship assignment, I'd like to see it. Otherwise, I don't know if I will have time after graduation. ”

Lu An nodded, although sometimes he also envied Lin Yongping's carefree life, and he didn't have to run around for a livelihood from time to time.

However, after getting along with Lin Yongping for four years, he also knows that Lin Yongping may not be as relaxed as he seems.

Needless to say, he studied more diligently than Lu An, as long as he had free time, he kept reading, Lu An often saw him sitting in front of the sofa in front of the holographic projection until one o'clock in the evening; Or often just a communication connection, you have to leave in a hurry, and you are busy outside until you get tired and come back.

Perhaps, after graduation, he will really have to say goodbye to the student life that seems to be quite idle now, and even if the scenery is good, the places he wants to go to, he can't help himself.

"I can't help myself! Isn't it the same for yourself? ”
