Chapter 37: Chosen Again

Fang Bai didn't know many contractors. In the friend list of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info task phone, he only added "Lin Bu", "Zhaojie", and "Gu Ping".

Zhaojie is far away in Xiaocheng, Gu Ping is busy with internal work, Fang Bai wants to talk to a veteran, but he can only find an idler, Lin Bu.

In the back garden of the elegant management office, Lin Buzheng is feeding a pair of red-crowned cranes by the pond. He rolled up his long sleeves, scooped up small fish and shrimp from a wooden barrel, and threw them at the red-crowned crane. Two domesticated birds catch their food and make high-pitched and loud crane chirps from time to time.

Seeing that a guest was coming, he kicked the wooden barrel over on the edge of the pool, "released" the fish and shrimp for the crane to hunt on its own, and lazily bowed to Fang Bai.

"What's the matter with my brother?"

"Without him, chat ear!"

The two returned to the plum tree, the stone table, and then tasted plum blossom tea.

Lin Bu's habit is to use classical Chinese as much as possible to treat strangers, and there are no taboos when talking to acquaintances. Because Fang Bai deliberately made friends, the more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and he finally switched back to modern colloquial language.

When it comes to plane tasks, Lin Bu said that he also signed up, but the chance of passing the screening is too small, and most of them can't get his wish.

Lin Bu has been a contractor for three years, and has been engaged in the internal work of the dormitory manager, and his work is idle, and the income of the contract point is not high. But he is an otaku and has no extravagant expectations for upgrades, as long as he lives comfortably. Although he has never participated in a plane mission, he has been staying at the base all year round and is fairly well-informed.

According to him, in the past, the number of people performing each plane mission was different, only three or four people at a time, and more than twenty or thirty people at most times.

Fang Bai asked if there were any fantasy planes, such as the world of movies, anime, and novels. Lin Bu shook his head and laughed.

"The plane comes from the real history, from the future!" He explained, "They are not complete worlds, but overflows from the overall information of the universe, or rather a very small fragment of space-time that has been squeezed out. The smallest fragment may be only one building, a cruise ship, and the familiar 23rd Military Region is no more than the size of a military base. ”

"The 23rd Military Region was incorporated...... Is it a consequence of a failed mission? ”

"Most people will simply answer yes to this question. But I can tell you for sure that this one could have been successful because there was an additional liaison officer of the Acting Affairs Committee of the Chinese State Council among the executors. The liaison officer played some tricks and deliberately let the 23rd Military Region in order to achieve the goal of protecting national interests. As everyone knows, it's not too bad! But that was the last time government liaison officers were allowed to participate in a plane mission. ”

"Wow, where did you hear all that?" Fang Bai was extremely surprised.

"Hehe, don't think that otaku don't have news channels!" Lin was reluctant to share the source, but explained the origin of the "space-time fragment" clearly.

When some kind of "information interference source" is embedded in the space-time structure of the universe, it will cause space-time anomalies, just like plague infection and virus growth, forming a chain reaction.

The continuous amplification of information interference leads to the activation of the "immune mechanism" of the universe, which cuts out the infected part and forms a "plane" with the "interference source" as the core and can be stable and self-sustaining.

"Wait a minute, if the space-time fragments are cut out, isn't there a hole in the universe?"

"Uh...... It's a good statement, but the answer is no. The structure of space-time has the ability to repair itself and will fill the holes. ”

Lin doesn't continue to explain.

These planes often show abnormal "fantasy qualities", such as the appearance of demon magic in the Three Kingdoms era, and the end of modern cities...... Of course, it can all be explained by science.

From the perspective of the unity of matter and information, the "plane" is the fragment of information that wanders in the universe, always looking for an opportunity to return to the structure of time and space.

The executor of the plane mission is to enter the fragments of this information as they approach our universe, destroy or contain its core "interference source", and disintegrate the plane.

Fang Baizheng listened attentively, and the two of them rang an email prompt on their mobile phones at the same time.

This is a mass notification to all members of the organization.

Lin Bu smiled and said, "The transparency of the previous plane missions was not so high!" But when he read the text of the short notice, he couldn't help but scold, "Doesn't that mean he didn't say anything!" ”

"Dear Contractor,

The selection of the first plane mission executor in 2014 has been completed, and the list of central hosts is as follows -

1 combat team (notification of selection has been sent);

Three lone contractors will be selected by lottery (the notification of selection has been sent);

a supervisor from the Council of Agents;

A liaison officer will be dispatched by the Acting Affairs Committee of the State Council of the People's Republic of China. ”

"The government liaison can participate in the plane mission again," Lin Bu frowned, "It's very concerning!" ”

Fang Bai turned off the mass notification and found that there was still an email in his inbox.

"Dear Contractor Wumo,

Congratulations on being selected for the list of executors of the "Jingkang Fengyun" plane!

The guaranteed reward for this mission is 200 contract points.

Please report to the A-level supervisor at the Senior Business Management Center of China Shipping Base within one hour.

According to the data of the multi-dimensional information observation system, the source time of the space-time fragments this time is between 1126 and 1127 AD, and the possibility of encountering cold weapons conflict is high. Please prepare for battle in advance. ”

This was to be expected, and the mysterious man had promised it a long time ago.

Fang Bai calmly raised his head and saw the surprise and disbelief on Lin Bai's face.

"You've been chosen, too?"

"yes!" Lin Bu said excitedly: "Plane mission!" 200 points guaranteed! I'm only 12 points a year! You can upgrade when you come back now! Huh? Why do you say 'too'? ”

Fang Bai spread his hands, "I've also been chosen." ”

"So coincidentally?" Lin Bu seemed a little surprised. But he quickly looked clear and said, "The selection of the lone contractor is definitely not random!" ”

"It's not random, why did the central host choose you?"

"Of course, I value my study of ancient languages, etiquette, costumes, and other living habits! Since you are going to the Song Dynasty, of course you have to find someone who knows how to do it! There are very few senior historians like me in the organization. But why were you chosen? Lin was curious.

Of course, Fang Bai knew why he was chosen, that mysterious helper had a lot of energy! But he could only reply: "Maybe it's luck!" ”

Lin didn't believe it, saying that he must have some hidden skills that were favored by the central host. Fang Bai refused to admit it. The two talked nonsense a few times and threw the topic aside.

Lin did not submit an application for personal leave in the mobile office software dedicated to the back office, and the D-level supervisor of the living and leisure area immediately approved it and arranged a substitute staff.

The two took the elevator to the eighth floor of the base, the Advanced Business Management Center.

The entire eighth floor is an exquisite landscaped garden, with the Beehive Building running all the way down from the third floor. The exterior of the building abandons the virtual scene and builds a real garden landscape, not only with small bridges and flowing water, rockeries and mountains, but also digging out a shallow artificial lake.

Lin Bu has been in the organization for three years, and it is the first time that he has come to a place where managers are in charge, and Fang Bai is the first time. As soon as the two got out of the elevator, they were led out of the building by the staff and met with the A-level supervisor of the China Overseas Branch.

The supervisor, codenamed "Against the Current", does not work in the building on weekdays. His office building was built on the edge of a lake, like a magnificent palace. There is a high platform of 400 square meters in front of the two-storey heavy eaves pavilion, surrounded by the white jade railing, erect the carved dragon cloud pillar, look at it from afar, the bamboo forest cornices cover each other, the beauty is not like the world.

Countercurrent summoned the two to the high platform to "see Your Majesty". When they had climbed up the stairs, they saw a man standing on the platform.

The man was dressed in a blue and white Hanfu with a deep curl coat, his appearance was young and confident, and his eyes were like the protagonists of a hot-blooded comic, clear, but there was a fire burning. He is the countercurrent.

Seeing the two of them walking on the high platform, they waved their sleeves against the current and conjured up two chairs, "Please sit!" ”

Lin didn't see the moment Countercurrent was wearing Hanfu, so he classified it as his own, and didn't care how amazing his chic wave of sleeves was.

Fang Bai was dumbfounded, this style of painting is wrong!

What is the principle of conjuring matter out of thin air? Mass-energy conversion? Controllable atoms? What's in your sleeve? Most of them are folded spaces! Although the principle is not very understood, at least it is scientific!

The two E-class contractors sat down, conjured three more cups of sake against the current, took one for themselves, and the other two automatically flew into the contractor's hands.

Fang Bai grabbed the wine glass and roared in his heart, "What kind of trick is this?" Psychokinesis? Internal force discharge? Superconducting magnetic levitation? ”

Countercurrent said earnestly: "Both of them are excellent contractors registered in my Zhonghai base, and this time they have to be selected by the central host, and their future prospects are limitless." I would like to toast you two and wish you all the best in your mission! ”

The trio drank victoriously and threw away their glasses. With a wave of his hand, he created a hologram in the air, which was nothing compared to the Void Creation and Telekinesis Transfer.

"As is customary, I'll tell you about the precautions."

Fang Bai interjected at this time, "That, Director of Countercurrent, we will be notified by email to report to you......"

"When you see me, you're done!" Countercurrent is an understatement, but it is domineering. Fang Bai was intimidated by his momentum, so he had to sit and listen to the introduction.

"Each key base has the function of plane descending, but before coming, the executors must first form a temporary team, so you have to rush to the first base within twelve hours."

"According to the multi-dimensional information observation system, you are going to Jingkang period. Time and place are a pair of complementary attributes, because of the principle of inaccuracy, if the time is determined, the place cannot be measured. But according to past experience, it is basically not far from Bianliang, Tokyo, after all, it is the most complicated place for information entanglement in the Jingkang era. You've studied history, so you know what to expect, right? ”

The two nodded, and there was not much nonsense against the current, only reminding them to buy arms and bring more ammunition.

Finally, he briefly introduced the situation of the selected executors and projected their images one by one.

First of all, the third lone contractor who was drawn, the "Ice Maniac" from the Chengdu Branch, a D-class contractor, a limb modification maniac, claimed that the goal was the "brain in a vat", that is, in addition to the brain, the whole body was replaced with a machine.

Then there is the combat team S01C18 from Base 1, which is not like most C-level teams with around twenty people, and the team has only six people. Codename "Meteorite", the captain is a violent maniac obsessed with body enhancement, redeemed for nano-biological armor.

Five D-class team members, namely: "Six Arms", weapons specialists, firepower exporters;

"Flying Shark", pilot, combat expert, main force in melee combat;

"White Robe", a master of disguise, a sniper, an assassin;

"Zhaojie", hackers, liars, intelligence agents;

"Qin Jing", a doctor, a psychologist, and the only woman in the team.

Then there is the liaison officer of the "National Representative Committee" (the Acting Affairs Committee of the Government Council), codenamed "Sword Master", a D-class contractor who joined the organization as a civil servant five years ago and uses a lightsaber without permission.

Finally, there is the supervisor sent by the Council of Agents, codenamed "Storyteller", whose real identity is the famous writer and songwriter Kong Sanwang. Countercurrent said that this person had never appeared in the organization before, and he did not know what level of authority or exchange experience.

After a brief introduction, Countercurrent admonished: "The core of the plane mission is to destroy or recover the 'interference source', and the extra reward points are very tempting. But for you, the difficulty is too high, and it is beyond your ability. Don't try to compete with C-level and D-level, cooperate with high-level contractors well, and get the guarantee. ”

The two of them only made promises.
