Chapter 16: The Return of the King
When is a person most excited to participate in a long-distance running race?
Probably not at the time of crossing the finish line, but just before the last step.
What kind of failure is the most painful?
It's probably not hopeless, but it's clear that success is within reach, and victory is close at hand, but it can't be touched.
The so-called failure is exactly what it is likely.
Therefore, some ancients warned that those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.
Outside the window of Lu An's room, the dawn had already flashed, and even the morning sun had risen high.
However, the dawn of Lu An is clearly close at hand, but I don't know when it will appear, obviously the night has passed, all kinds of speculations have been tried, and all the methods that can be used have been exhausted.
However, it did not help.
The fifty-two "0s" or "1s" are still lying quietly on the paper, unable to be transformed into answers, into things that his father and brother have to tell Lu An no matter what, even if they travel through time and space and life and death.
The answer is obviously at your fingertips, as long as you stretch out your hand, as long as you stretch out your hand......

It's a pity that people are not machines after all, both mental and physical have limits, not to mention, even machines will have times when they can't hold on.
After a night of excitement, the overdrawn energy and physical strength could no longer support Lu An's speeding brain, and under the frustration, his eyes were dark, and he fell asleep in front of the bed.
Dreams without a trace.
When the dream subsided, Lu An suddenly raised his head, but his neck made a clicking sound, and the pain made him unable to scream, and he just let out a few whimperes.
Numb legs, stiff arms, Lu An was dumbfounded, although his mind was extremely clear, but his body did not obey the call at all.
He struggled to climb into bed and lay on the bed like a zombie.
Slowly turning his head and neck to the window at an almost invisible speed, the midday sun sparked in greatly, reflecting brightly in front of Lu An's bed.
Lu An quickly closed his eyes.
However, the goal of fighting all night came to his heart again, and the feelings of frustration, loss, and frustration also came up, making Lu An's sore feeling more bitter.
What went wrong?
Fifty-two numbers representing fifty-two playing cards should be no problem.
"0" and "1" represent a certain state of the playing hand, and there should be no problem.
So, is the question about the ordering of suits? The problem is the order of the thirteen numbers in the playing cards?
However, the ordering of the playing cards should be orderly, although Lu An fought all night without results, but it was not without gains, he vaguely felt that the problem was not in the number ordering.
It is likely that the meaning of the numbers in the playing cards was misunderstood.
If it has nothing to do with the order of the thirteen numbers of the playing cards, the numbers of A, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, and K are all fixed, and the meaning of the playing cards itself is based on these thirteen numbers.
Could it be a suit issue? Could it be that it's not a matter of sorting at all?
Sort? Design and color?
No, no......
Lu lay quietly on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling, thinking about it repeatedly in his mind, constantly questioning himself, questioning himself, and torturing himself.
This piece of paper is all "0", "1", which is a puzzle of numbers.
Why do suits represent sorting? It's because of the relationship between playing poker with Anna last night, and the relationship between the size of the suit is brought in, so you only think about sorting and combining?
Yes.
But what else does it represent? Is it a number?
Digital, digital......
The suit represents the number, where? Where have you seen it, what a familiar feeling, where?
Numbers, suits, spades, hearts, clubs, diamonds......
Characters, characters, yes, characters! It's a character!
Lu Anxin suddenly became happy, although his body was as numb and itchy as ten thousand ants devouring his body, but under the excitement, he felt nothing lightly.
"Yes, there are these four characters in the Universal Character Code Table, corresponding to different numbers in decimal, binary, and hexadecimal, but no matter which one it is, it does represent numbers."
Lu An calmed down his excitement a little, put away his messy thoughts, and continued to think seriously.
If you don't think about sorting, you can convert a deck of playing cards into a string of numbers by following the order of size in the universal character scale.
In this case, if the fifty-two cards of the playing card correspond to the fifty-two "0s" or "1s" on the paper, and perform a Boolean operation, it will definitely be a string of corresponding decoded strings.
"Yes, that's for sure, that's it......"
======
======
Lu An stared at the ceiling and grinned silently.
When his body recovered, he would inevitably turn over and verify his conjecture carefully little by little.
Now, my body didn't allow it, so I had to lie in bed and wait quietly.
However, at this time, Lu An remembered an interesting anecdote about the Universal Character Code.
It is said that this chronograph was born 500 years ago, in the time of the great prophet.
At that time, people were very curious, why Professor Sherlock Watson, who compiled this character coder, would include the characters of these four playing cards?
The professor replied that there were four sets of numbers free, and he didn't know what characters to fill in, but one of his students joked with him that it would be better to fill in the suit of the playing cards, so that everyone might be able to play cards later.
Of course, this is a joke, and the professor also said that he only temporarily occupies these four empty seats, and needs everyone to participate in the development and revision of the entire code table, and the four characters will naturally be replaced in the future.
However, the student who was joking with the professor was the great prophet who would follow.
Later, even though the Universal Character Code Chart was expanded several times and the number of characters increased, the empty space of the four characters was not moved.
It may be wasteful, but it is worth it in honor of the remarkable hero who single-handedly lifted humanity into space.
However, when Lu An was a child before, he also had questions, who was the great prophet? Is it a man or a woman, is he her? Why didn't the Great Prophet have a name?
Later, when Lu An grew up, he no longer had the leisure to care about these strange problems.
A great prophet is a great prophet, so why should there be a name? Anyway, everyone is commemorating that person.
Now, Lu An was lying on the bed, and suddenly remembered this matter from the universal character code table, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, a child's naΓ―ve problems are really many.

Ten minutes later, Lu An, who was lying upright on the bed, tried to move his hands and feet, and the numbness and itchiness had subsided.
He immediately got up, ignoring his hungry belly, opened his brain, and buried his head in it as if he had been last night.
However, this time the deduction went exceptionally well, and half an hour later, a string of numbers jumped on the paper.
"What is this?"
Lu An looked at the numbers in his hand and muttered, "Sure enough, my father and brother have something to tell me?" β
This is clearly the address of a synchronous communication network.
"This must be something stored on it by my father and brother, could it be a hologram? Or is it a piece of text? Or is it a piece of sound? β
Lu An was so excited that his hands trembled a little, he took a few deep breaths, and after taking a few deep breaths, he scanned the string of numbers on the Zhi Brain.
"Connect."
Lu An spit out the word lightly.
The new world opened its gates, the dawn appeared at this time, the morning sun rose at this moment, and the new king touched the gates of the palace.
======
======
A holographic projection jumped in front of Lu An's eyes.
A clown who looked like an engraved card bowed to Lu An with a smile, and after putting on the mask in his hand, he asked happily.
"Name?"
It turns out that the clown on the card is on the stage to pay tribute?
Lu An smiled slightly and said, "Lu An." β
"Please log in to your citizenship number."
Due to the current interstellar joint synchronization network management law, real-name verification applications are required when accessing the network, and some important network sites such as banks need to verify real-name verification again.
So Lu An didn't think much about it, and honestly reported his citizen number.
In his opinion, his father and brother may have kept things in a more private network storage site, and these processes are all in the question.
After that, there was some information reserved for real-name identity verification to verify, but after three minutes, the clown bent down and bowed, "Welcome, newcomer." β
"Please enter the four-digit identification code you were given."
With a wave of the clown's hand, four magic hats appeared in front of him, with their mouths upside down.
Lu An smiled slightly, it was really an interesting virtual effect.
But......
"Identity code?"
Is the four-digit ID code the one my brother crossed out and re-wrote? He may have adjusted his identity code after getting his father's relics.
It's just a coincidence that it changed from "0000" to "1111".
Lu An lightly typed in four "1s".
"There was a mistake, please re-enter."
Lu An re-entered.
"There was a mistake, please re-enter."
Lu An re-typed it again, muttering in his heart, isn't this the case? Am I wrong again?
However, when Lu An'an was puzzled, in the holographic projection, the clown suddenly changed from black and white to color, it took off its mask with a bitter face, and said to Lu An sadly: "Because you entered the wrong three times, you entered the special verification procedure." β
"Please enter the 54-bit virtual password verifier."
"Please enter the 13-digit checksum checker."
"Please enter the 1-position switch check program."
Before Lu An could react, three white rabbits popped out in front of the clown, each with a big mouth open and two big teeth, one with "0" written on it and one tooth with "1".
This......
Lu An was a little surprised, what did he let himself enter?
He subconsciously looked at the crumpled paper, and just below the deciphered network address, there were three strings of "0" and "1".
Could that be all there is to it? Where did the top paragraph come from? Who else but my father and brother?
However, the three white rabbits jumped around, their eyes constantly flashing with red light, urging Lu An to hurry up.
He simply gritted his teeth and typed them one by one according to the numbers on the paper.
Since the rabbit only has two teeth, Lu An didn't know how to correct it if he made a mistake, so he had to carefully check it and enter them one by one.
Hundreds of characters, and it took him nearly half an hour to type them all correctly.
"Bingo ......"
THE CLOWN SNAPPED HIS FINGERS AND BOWED, "WELCOME BACK, REDJOKER." β
======

As soon as these words fell, the entire interstellar joint synchronization network of the entire human race suddenly blinked, alternating between light and extinction.
"It's been 500 years......"
"Are you finally back?"
"Ahh
