Chapter 20 Return

With no cable connections, no satellite communications, and most importantly, no power supply, the supposedly never-ending Internet is in a desperate situation, forcing Luo Xu to go to those data centers to extract information in person. But if you think about it carefully, it is not a simple matter, the data center is used as a storage server, storing a large amount of data on the network, which also means that a huge amount of electricity needs to be provided.

"Google's data centers should store a lot of data, right?"

Luo Xu stepped on the wet swamp ground, walking around and around, while thinking secretly in his heart.

"Sir, Salt Lake City in southern Utah has the main server of the National Security Agency's 'Prism' project, which stores all the electronic data of the world's 500 billion gigabytes, if you need to look for clues, it is recommended to go!"

A sudden, cold voice interrupted Roxu's thoughts, and Bob suggested in his ear.

"Utah?" Luo Xu was stunned for a moment, and then became interested, "Well, the NSA server? Interesting, you might be able to find the location of other bases. ”

If we want to say that the most likely place for human beings to survive is in a state-secret place such as the No. 17 underground nuclear bunker, where there is a great chance of human survival. But given the example of Base 17, it is more likely that the other bases will end up empty, but wouldn't this allow Luo Xu to obtain more strategic materials?

"There's one more thing I have to think about!"

Luo Xu stopped, a worried look appeared on his face, if the place where he is now is not a parallel world but the future, then it also means that an unprecedented disaster will occur in the real world in a few decades, at that time, how will he face it?

You can only prepare for a rainy day! No one can tell if the mysterious cube will still be able to play a role at that time, and once you put all your mental energy in hiding in this world when disaster comes, it will be too late to regret it when the situation changes.

"Hey, there's still a lot to do!"

Luo Xu was a little depressed, as the saying goes, the more you gain, the more you lose, at least for now, it seems that the leisurely life he used to have is gone, but recalling that the key to eternal life is probably in his own hands, his mood is refreshed.

"Hey, what's that?"

Luo Xu watched in amazement as a small tawny kitten crawled out of the weeds, and looked at him with bright eyes and novelty.

"Why is there a kitten here?"

Luo Xu has a cute kitten at home, so he has a friendly attitude towards the cat, and when he saw the kitten rolling in the grass, he stepped forward and wanted to pick it up. This kitten was only a few months old, and he had never seen a human being, nor could he recognize the horror of human beings, so he let Luo Xu pick it up and arch it in his arms like a coquette.

"Cougar?"

The camera in the left eye scanned the image of the kitten and gave the information of the cougar, which surprised Luo Xu, this naughty kitten turned out to be a lion? However, since such a small cougar cub is here, where is its mother?

Thinking so, Luo Xu then felt that he was a big mouth, because a cougar with a body length of 2.5 meters and a shoulder height of 100 centimeters jumped out of the grass and stared at Luo Xu, his eyes were full of tyrannical impulses.

"Click!"

The K500 guarding on both sides directly aimed the black muzzle at the cougar, and was about to shoot immediately, but Luo Xu ordered to stop it with a "wait".

Luo Xu slowly crouched down, gently placed the cub in his arms on the ground, and smiled at the cougar that he thought was charming. It's a pity that the female cougar doesn't appreciate it, if it weren't for the huge sense of uneasiness that K500 brought her, she would have swooped up and tore apart the "monster" in front of her.

The cub was confused, and seemed to be wondering why Luo Xu put it down, circled around Luo Xu, and saw the female cougar at a glance, and immediately spread his limbs and jumped over. The cougar licked his child, his tyrannical eyes relaxed slightly, his big mouth grabbed the cub, stared at Luo Xu vigilantly, slowly retreated step by step, and when he was close to the grass, he jumped more than ten meters reflexively and disappeared into the jungle in an instant.

"Tsk, I wonder if the cougar can be eaten?"

It's a pity to look at the cougar who ran away, Luo Xu couldn't help but have such an idea, if it weren't for the cougar with the cub, he might have ordered it, regardless of the species, maternal love can always trigger the deepest feelings of human beings.

"Alright, let's go!"

Luo Xu continued his pace boredly, looking for clues while recording the scenery he saw, so that after a few hours, looking through several buildings, he actually found no clues except for a large pile of abandoned garbage. Well, in fact, it can't be said that there is no clue, as far as he sees now, the disappearance of human beings is extremely strange, the electric cars on the street are very neatly parked, none of them have been crashed because of car accidents, the facilities in the building are very complete, and there is no problem, the whole city looks as if human beings have left on their own initiative, and there is no compulsion to cause disputes and turmoil.

But how is this possible, and why would humans voluntarily leave the city they live in? Leave without a car, lean?

This question bothered Luo Xu deeply, and when he found the surveillance video of a commercial building, his suspicion was confirmed.

The images of the surveillance video are clear, and the people at work are talking and laughing, wearing bright and color-changing nano clothes, freely entering and exiting the building without any abnormalities. The time was refreshed to ten o'clock in the morning, and suddenly a man walked out, his face was dull, his expression was numb, his movements were stiff, and he walked out without saying a word. Soon, as if there was a disease, all the people in the building walked out with dull faces, row after row, orderly, not chaotic at all, and the strange atmosphere made Luo Xu sweat coldly.

"Aha, foreigners are really weird, what kind of fame are they doing in broad daylight?"

"Maybe it's some verse?"

Luo Xu touched the cold sweat on his forehead, "Forget it, don't lie to yourself." ”

After copying the surveillance video, Luo Xu hurriedly walked out of the building and went to the opposite building to rummage through the surveillance video, and the video was similar to the previous surveillance.

Don't say anything about numbness in the legs, this is not enough to scare Luo Xu like that, but the desolate city background and the weird surveillance video made him feel weak for a while, and coughed and said to the k500 beside him: "It's getting late, I'd better go back to recuperate first, and it's not too late to explore later, Aiqing, okay?" ”

The AI of the two K500s flashed red speechlessly and was silent.

Luo Xu turned a blind eye, and when the two robots agreed, he hurriedly walked out of the building towards the location of the fighters, striding all the way to the meteor, as fast as a flying star, and it didn't take long to return to the two drones.

Seeing that the drone was safe and sound, Luo Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't go to see the Google data center, and directly ordered to return to the base, and the task of checking many data centers was still handed over to Bob to do, and when the time came, a dozen robot squads were made to act separately, which was much better than his interest in rushing to see the effect.

The fighter plane quickly rose up, sliced through the sky, and returned to base in a few minutes.

When I came back, I felt physically and mentally exhausted, and when I got home, I found that it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and I made some simple food to eat, and then rubbed my eyes and climbed into bed and closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Before six o'clock the next morning, Luo Xu jumped up from the bed in high spirits, opened the light film, and began the plan to renovate his house.

Because of the safety of the mysterious cube, except for special circumstances, he can't carry it on his body at any time, for the sake of insurance, most of the time he can only hide it in the depths of the study, but how can things be absolute, in case the luck is extremely bad and is stolen and looted by thieves, then he really can't cry if he wants to.

The second reason is that Luo Xu wanted to realize the smart home plan before, because there was no funds before, this plan could only be thought about and put aside, and now with the support of ready-made materials and equipment in the base, how could he, a guy who is always happy to enjoy, not realize his plan.

Well, the first step is to replace all the old furniture at home, and replace the kitchen utensils in the kitchen with electromagnetic kitchenware at the base, such as the induction cooker embedded in the kitchen table, the microwave oven placed on the wall, the bread machine, coffee stove, blender and other kitchen equipment on the desktop, all of which are wirelessly networked and uniformly allocated IP access to the home host.

Then the curtains, air conditioners, and smart windows also pressed the control chips respectively, and after this busy life, the tired Luo Xu could hardly straighten his waist. TV equipment, he got an 8K resolution 100-inch large screen, wirelessly connected to the home host, whether it is watching movies or playing games, it can bring extreme enjoyment.

For example, the refrigerator can not only automatically monitor the quality of food, but also intelligently remind the owner of the shelf life, and the simple AI in the machine will also determine the suitable storage temperature of various foods, so as to set different temperatures, as for the function of sending missing food information to the owner on the Internet, it is trivial.

After the household equipment was arranged, Luo Xu then drummed up the home security device, and while the people upstairs and downstairs were going to work, he picked up tools and placed several small surveillance cameras on the stairs, which were not only installed in a hidden location, but also covered all corners of the downstairs, without loopholes.

The door at home is also a problem, Luo Xu thought for a moment, did not replace the door, but replaced the lock cylinder and connected the camera in the aisle, so that when he walked into the building, the camera would automatically recognize his face features and automatically open the door directly if he met the requirements.

Of course, if someone dares to pry open the door, the moment he walks in, the high-energy blazing laser will completely divide him into more than a dozen pieces as soon as possible. Even if it passes the laser, the K500, which is usually said to act as a service robot at home, will immediately show its most vicious face, and take out the electromagnetic rifle embedded in the back to teach the intruder what politeness is.
