Tang Long was familiar with the way to sit on the spaceship after a year's absence, and went straight to the wheelhouse and sat in the driver's seat. He was not only to take another look at the base of the 23rd regiment, but also to write down the data of the route. He wanted to have the opportunity to fly his own spaceship in the future to meet with these five robot instructors who had cultivated him.

Watching the conning tower get farther and farther away, it wasn't long before the ship exited the base and saw the meteorite. Tang Long knew that the spaceship was about to turn its head, so he took one last look with reluctance and closed his eyes.

After a roar, the ship came to a standstill. Tang Long straightened his clothes, touched the rank on his shoulder, and smiled proudly.

Walked out of the cabin.

As the passage entered the entrance of the airport, Tang Long had not yet taken out the magnetic card and stuffed it into the magnetic card hole, and the checkpoint was released. And the voice from the computer came from the side: "Tang Long, welcome back." ”

"Oh...... Thank you. "Tang Long is very strange how he can not use magnetic card verification, and although the computer can say polite words, it will not add a name, and ah, doesn't it generally say yours? Sounds like you.

When he saw the electronic scanner at the top of the hall, he thought that the thing had already confirmed his identity, so he didn't use a magnetic card, so there was a polite phrase with his name added. So Tang Long happily walked towards the long-range passage that scared him last time.

He didn't know at all that the central computer regarded Tang Long as a friend or a junior because of those robot instructors.

Now the central computer has begun to take special care of him.

When Tang Long appeared in the blending hall last time, he immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Girls who want to join the army look at this different, charismatic handsome commander. And those male reservists stared at the rank of second lieutenant on Tang Long's shoulder.

Tang Long saw the soldiers standing in the distance and hurriedly walked over. Because he wanted to ask what he should do after he came out of the training camp.

As soon as the two soldiers with the rank of sergeant saw Tang Long approaching, they hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hello sir!" Tang Long was also busy returning the gift, although he was secretly proud in his heart, but in this way, he didn't dare to ask his question, because it would lose the face of the chief. I had to pretend to pass by, and quickly left the two soldiers.

Helpless, Tang Long had no choice but to run to the consultation room in the hall to ask for the computer. When you enter the consultation room, the door closes automatically, and now people outside can't hear what is being said inside.

As soon as Tang Long pressed the switch, a three-dimensional computer girl avatar appeared, and immediately said with a smile: "Tang Long, is there anything I can help you?" ”

"Yay...... Oh, I'm a recruit, I want to know what I should do when the recruit is done? Tang Long was stunned for a moment when he heard that his name also appeared here, but his self-righteous understanding just now made him not delve into it.

"Well, you were supposed to report to the Military Deployment Office, but you've been assigned to the Bone Dragon Cloud Galaxy, the Skeleton Planet, so you can just report to the TSI-135 base when you arrive. Your file has been transferred there, and the governor there will assign you the position. The computer girl said these words in one breath.

"Uh......" Tang Long was really stunned, why didn't he see the evolution of the current computer system for a year? Not only did there be a lot more expressions on his face, but there were also a lot more words, and he used to ask and answer one by one, and how could the deployment of the military department be known by this kind of consulting computer? Isn't it a military computer that can handle this?

"Oh yes, your family called the police to look for you on the third day after you joined the army, and of course, they knew about you joining the army at that time. The recruits have a seven-day break after training, and now that you're back, you should go home and check it out, right? Are you going to call first, or do you want to go straight home and surprise your family?" The computer girl asked with a smile.

When Tang Long heard the computer mention his family, he immediately thought that he would go to join the army first, and he didn't discuss it with his family at all, who would have thought that he would run to the fully enclosed 23rd regiment, and he couldn't even complete the afterlude program.

Now that he has to face them immediately, Tang Long is really a little scared, and when he heard the choice given by the computer, of course, he replied without thinking about it: "I'll go back directly." ”

At this time, Tang Long came to his senses, he looked at the computer girl in shock, how could the computer even know these things? The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and Tang Long began to retreat and prepare to leave the consultation room. No matter how single he is, he knows that something is wrong, and just now the computer knows his deployment problem, which can be explained as an upgrade of the computer, and has the functions of the military computer. But if your family looked for you hundreds of days ago, it would be impossible for the computer to know. Even if the computer knows about it through the telephone network, it is impossible to write it down. You know, there are hundreds of millions of phone calls talking every second, and no computer can record the content of every call.

"Wait a minute." The computer girl suddenly called out to stop him, which made Tang Long feel even more wrong. Because it is impossible to call out the person who is leaving, it is generally only possible to say: I hope it will serve you next time. Although he thought it was strange, Tang Long, who was used to obeying orders, reflexively stopped, and looked at the virtual computer girl with a little worry.

"You don't have enough money to buy a plane ticket home." The computer girl playfully stretched out her index finger and shook it at Tang Long, and continued with a sweet smile: "Insert your recruit card into the socket below, and I will help you transfer this year's salary into it." Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze? The computer girl saw Tang Long stunned, and urged dissatisfiedly.

"Ah...... Oh. Tang Long didn't expect that this computer actually knew how much money he had on him, and when she said this, he couldn't help but take out the recruit registration card and insert it into the card hole in the lower right. After the card was inserted, Tang Long remembered how the consulting computer could have the functions of a bank computer? And isn't this military salary only allocated by a special computer?

Tang Long looked at the computer girl blankly and asked, "Uh...... I said eldest sister......" Before Tang Long could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by the computer girl, who shouted with bright eyes: "Eldest sister? You call me big sister? Tang Long didn't know how the computer girl reacted so much, and nodded inexplicably.

After the computer girl saw Tang Long nodding, she immediately covered her mouth, virtual tears actually flowed from her beautiful big eyes, and her voice became choked: "Woo woo, I finally have a younger brother......" 'She' knew that the 5 companions who had been with her for hundreds of years were about to disappear, and she would have to spend endless years alone in the future. If it weren't for the appearance of Tang Long, a human who interested her and was entrusted to take care of by those 5 friends, she might have been depressed and had no intention of working. Now that Tang Long personally called out her eldest sister, she suddenly felt that she was no longer alone, and she also had the only relative, how could this not make her cry with joy?

Tang Long looked at this scene dumbfounded: "Wouldn't it?" Computers also shed tears? Will you also recognize your brother? I didn't recognize her as a sister, didn't she know that the eldest sister was a polite word? Tang Long wouldn't say these words, he wasn't used to hurting other people's hearts, even if it was a computer.

The computer girl cried for a while, and said softly to Tang Long with the expression of a begonia after the rain: "What do you want to ask?" Tell my sister, and my sister will help you solve it! ”

When Tang Long saw this expression, a familiar feeling suddenly surged up, as if he had seen it somewhere. It's a pity that he can't think of it, Tang Long, who is not used to pursuing these things, shook his head and didn't think about it, and continued to ask the question he was interrupted: "What I want to ask is, can this recruit card be used as a bank card?" ”

When the computer girl heard this, she immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "Ouch, you don't know? The recruit card is a military card, and if you take off the metal smart chip on the card and tie it around your neck, you can let the military computer know where you are. And that chip is also used to store all your personal information, personal merits and personal property. There are also military cards that can be used as phone cards, credit cards, passports, and so on, which is a privilege only for soldiers, don't you know these at all? ”

Tang Long was stunned again, he didn't know that the recruit card had so many functions. There is no way, who told him not to look at the explanatory documents and precautions of those troops. And he hadn't seen anyone who could tell him since he joined the army, and the robot instructors certainly knew, but they weren't going to waste training time trying to explain that.

At this moment, the voice of the bbb sounded, and the recruit card was spit out. The computer girl said with a smile: "Okay, I have remitted your salary for the past year, and I have also changed the recruit card to an official military card, and all the functions are complete." Ah, and oh, if you don't have enough money, just come to my sister. Okay, let's talk about it when we have time. As soon as the computer girl finished speaking, she disappeared unilaterally, and the electronic door of the consultation room opened automatically.

Tang Long took back the military card in a daze and walked out unclear. Of course, there were three or four reservists standing outside who were waiting impatiently to ask about things, if they hadn't seen that Tang Long was a commander, they would have scolded them a long time ago, how could they ask about things for so long.

Tang Long was stunned for a moment, immediately patted his head, and muttered to himself: "It doesn't matter how his computer became like this, and it's not bad to be surnamed like this." If you don't have enough money, you will find a sister? Can she add the amount on my card? Hehe, if that's the case, it's not ......."

Talking to himself, Tang Long suddenly felt that he was in a cold sweat, because according to the nervous appearance of the computer just now, it was not possible to be infected with a virus, and it was very likely that he had a lot of money for no reason. With the current advanced tax system, once you find out that you have suddenly increased a sum of money, you can immediately find out the origin of your money. At that time, let alone getting rich, you may be expelled from the military and put in prison in every minute!

Tang Long thought of this and immediately rushed towards the nearest bank cash room, he didn't want to make a second lieutenant with great difficulty, and he became a criminal before he could show off enough. When I entered the room, I quickly took out my military card and inserted it into the socket. At this time, another pretty computer girl appeared, and this computer girl did not appear with Tang Long's worried words, but said very formulaically: "Welcome to the Federal Bank, please stand still, the highest level of password detection is about to be performed." ”

Tang Long breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stood up straight with wide eyes. In fact, he doesn't need to be very deliberate, his standing posture is impeccable, which is really thanks to the machine instructor's teaching beyond perversion.

The computer scans fingerprints, pupils, blood type, DNA, scent, hair strands, etc., which represent a person's identity. In this era, what needs to be set up is composed of these things, of course, only some fingerprints, pupils, and DNA are generally set as passwords. The highest level of password settings includes the most detailed information such as smell, hair structure, capillary structure, etc. It is said that the password that is set to the highest level cannot be unlocked even if it is a clone of the person who set the password, so it can be said that it is the most secure password setting. Although it is secure, the amount of money spent on each password check is not something that ordinary people can afford to pay casually. Of course, there is a fee for such a complex password setting and verification, otherwise it will be too resource-consuming? As for Tang Long's cost, of course "she" will give a free discount.

As for why Tang Long, this guy was indifferent when he heard the computer say the highest level of password detection, it was because it was the first time he had something like a credit card. You must know that he has only just become an adult, and he used to take pocket money from his family. And when he joined the army, he also selected the infantry branch that has been abandoned for hundreds of years, how much do you think such a person will know about password settings?

"After the verification is completed, the user's identity is confirmed. Hello, Mr. Tang Long, you have a total of 24,000 federal coins in your account. The computer reported the numbers, displayed them on the screen, and finally said in a very formulaic voice:

"What more services do you need? Withdrawing cash? Transfer? Quit? ”

"I heard that a private's salary is 2,000 yuan a month, and I have been a private for almost a year. Well, no more, no less. Tang Long was completely relieved to see that there was no extra amount in his account at all. At the same time, I looked at the numbers on the screen very excitedly, although the family has money, but I don't have any money, the biggest amount of money in my hand is the 5,000 yuan I cheated with my mother last time. Now I have more than 20,000 in my hand, and I must spend it well.

After Tang Long chose to quit, he took out the card, and at this time he suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the salary of a private is 2,000 yuan, so what is the salary of a second lieutenant? Tang Long, who wanted to know how much his current salary was, came to the consultation room again.

The formulaic language of the bank computer just now made him feel weird, and it was more comfortable to find the computer with the surname just now.

It's a pity that although the computer girl looks exactly the same as the last time, the tone has become as formulaic as the computer girl in the bank: "Welcome, willing to serve you, how can I help you?" ”

Tang Long couldn't help but feel a pity, it seemed that the computer failure just now had been fixed. He didn't know that "she" was very busy, how could she have so much time to accompany Tang Long all the time, and "she" thought that Tang Long had taken the spaceship home, how did she know that Tang Long was still grinding at this airport.

"I would like to know how salaries compare to all ranks of the federal army." Although he felt that it was a pity, Tang Long still said succinctly.

The computer didn't even say a polite word, but said directly: "Private 2,000 yuan per month, based on this, up to the sergeant, 500 yuan for each promotion." Warrant officers are $5,000 per month, and from this base, up to the rank of lieutenant, an increase of $1,000 is given for each promotion. 20,000 yuan per month for majors, and 20,000 yuan for each level up to the colonel. The commodore is 100,000 yuan per month, which is used as the base, and up to the general, 300,000 yuan is increased for each promotion. The marshal does not receive a salary, all expenses are allocated by the state, the military budget is freely arranged while in service, and after retirement, he can enjoy all the benefits of his service until his death. ”

Tang Long, who was opening his palm and counting how many zeros there were next to those rank names on the screen, couldn't help but hold down the screen and shout when he heard this: "His grandmother's!" All the expenses of the marshal are allocated by the state, and he is free to arrange the budget? And those benefits can still be enjoyed when you die? No wonder there are pitifully few marshals in the entire Federation! Also, being a colonel-level officer is more profitable than being a manager. It's even more terrifying to be a general, taking 1.6 million for nothing every month is equivalent to a small company's annual performance! Fuck, no wonder the conditions for being a soldier are so high, and so many people sharpen their heads and drill into it! Tang Long scolded happily, but forgot how such a high-ranking character could become a second lieutenant.

Tang Long scolded and scolded, because he didn't expect the army to have such a "money" way. In his mind, senior officers can get a maximum of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, because the state provides food, drink, clothing, and shelter at ordinary times, and this money is enough for their families to live a rich life. But I didn't expect that there were so many more than I imagined, and there were so many frightening. Besides, he was also very angry that the low-level soldiers were paid so little, you must know that it was these soldiers who sent them to death.

Of course, Tang Long was just angry, and he had now begun to calculate how much money he could receive in a year: "Well, I am a second lieutenant, and I can get 6,000 yuan a month, and I can get it in a year...... 72,000 won! …… Woo, it's too little, you can't even buy a better floating tram! "Tang Long, this guy, just now he was complacent about being able to get more than 20,000 yuan a year, but now he can get more than 70,000 yuan a year, but he is depressed, it is really not enough to swallow an elephant!

Tang Long came out of the consultation room, came to the civil aviation airport at the other end, and began to look for the ticket office. Although the airport is the same place, it is divided into military and civilian, and if a soldier has no mission and wants to go to other places, he can only take a civilian plane. Tang Long appeared in this civilian hall in a military uniform, although it was not very conspicuous, but his upright body and energetic movements, coupled with his handsome appearance, still attracted many eyeballs in this crowded hall.

Tang Long was secretly proud as he walked, and his chest was higher. Don't get me wrong, he thought that these eyes were attracted by the rank on his shoulder. To be honest, Tang Long has hardly looked in the mirror for so long, and even if he needs to look in the mirror, it is the kind of military appearance that needs to be done in many seconds, how can he have time to take a closer look at how he looks. Besides, even if he knows that he is much better looking than before, but this year he has faced either a computer virtual person or a robot with bones, and there is no real person to compare with him, and over time he doesn't care about this, and he can even say that he has completely forgotten what his handsome face is, and of course he doesn't know how good he is compared to others.

"What is the reason that the civil aviation conductors everywhere are actually people, not computer systems! Ay...... Maybe it's set up to reduce the number of unemployed, right? Tang Long, who was muttering, randomly found the nearest ticket office to him, and said to the young and beautiful female conductor inside;" Excuse me, I want to buy a ticket to Planet Ladd. As he spoke, he handed over the military card.

The young lady who had her eyes shining and was staring at Tang Long from a distance suddenly came to her senses when she heard Tang Long's words, and her whole face immediately turned red and looked very good. The young lady hurriedly lowered her eyes, took the military card handed by Tang Long with both hands, and whispered, "Okay, please wait a moment." He didn't dare to look up at Tang Long as he spoke, so he was busy inserting the military card into a machine at the counter.

"Why is this young lady so shy?" Tang Long looked at the young lady in a daze, and when the young lady raised her head, she immediately lowered her head. She hung her head and handed the military card back with both hands, and said softly: "You can use all public facilities for free military card, you just need to insert the inspection machine at the boarding gate, you don't need to buy a ticket." ”

Tang Long didn't understand the meaning of the word "this is", and thought that all soldiers had such benefits, so Tang Long immediately took it, showed a charming smile and said, "Thank you, so which gate do I want to board the plane at?" ”

When the young lady heard this, she raised her head and was about to answer, when she saw Tang Long's smile, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and her face became even redder. After a while, she lowered her head and whispered to Tang Long, "Board the plane at Gate 14 of Channel 23." ”

When Tang Long heard the soft voice, he couldn't help but soften his ears, although he muttered in his heart why this young lady spoke so quietly, he still smiled and thanked him before going to the boarding gate.

At this time, the young lady covered her face, looked at Tang Long's good-looking back stupidly, and muttered to herself, "How could I become so overwhelmed?" Could it be that just seeing a handsome man, I am so out of shape? It's not like I've never seen a handsome man, but why did I ...... this time" When I wanted to say something to myself again, I said: "Miss." It woke her up.

When I looked at it, I found that there were two big men in black clothes and sunglasses standing in front of me. The young lady was shocked, but still said softly with a smile, "What can I do for you?" ”

One of the big men glanced around and leaned in, while the other turned around and watched around. The big man who leaned over lowered his voice and said, "Miss, the situation is chaotic now, why did you go to a foreign country to work for a summer vacation?" The Count is worried, so please go back. ”

The young lady's smile stiffened, her beautiful eyes moved flexibly from side to side, and she also said in a low voice:

"I've changed my appearance, why do you still recognize me?"

The big man was stunned for a moment, maybe he didn't expect the young lady to ask such a thing, right? But he still quickly stretched out his finger and pointed to the sunglasses on his face, and said in a low voice: "This pair of glasses can eliminate virtual images, so the subordinates and others are all at once."

I recognized the young lady. ”

The young lady stroked a necklace around her neck, and whispered a little angrily, "That bastard, lie to me that this thing will never be seen through." You must have put a tracker on me, otherwise you wouldn't have found me all at once. ”

Of course, the big man knew who the bastard the young lady was talking about, and hurriedly defended: "My lord didn't lie to you, this glasses is a new invention, and it was only recently assembled by the agent, and that necklace is outdated, so we ......" The big man deliberately turned the topic to those instruments, and did not answer the question raised by the young lady, it seems that the young lady must have been equipped with a tracker.

The young lady interrupted impatiently in a low voice: "Okay, I won't go back early this time, every time I go out to play, I will be caught by you, and I will be annoyed if you don't bother." When she said this, the young lady suddenly raised her voice: "Yes, two economy class tickets to Radstar are a total of 7,000 yuan." ”

The territory of the Federation is vast, and the cost of going from the most extreme planet to the most extreme planet is tens of thousands. Most of the people are low-income people, not as they imagined, they can fly around the universe, and some people have never even left the planet in their lives.

Miss has already set up the planet of Ladd just now due to Tang Long's request, so now she can print out two tickets with just one click. The young lady smiled and handed the ticket to the big man, and at the same time stretched out her hand: "Thank you, please trouble 7,000 yuan." ”

Dahan wanted to say something, but he found that there were already a few people standing behind him waiting to buy a ticket, and he hurriedly took the ticket while taking out his credit card and handed it over. The young lady swiped the card on the machine, handed it back and smiled sweetly:

"Please board at Gate 14 of Lane 23 and have a pleasant journey."

The big man said thank you and ran out, and his companion hurriedly followed and whispered, "What now?" Dahan shook his head: "No way, Miss is unwilling, we can't force her, let the second group take over the protection task." His companion was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "Are we really going to Planet Ladd?" ”

Dahan sighed deeply and nodded, "There's no way, just buy a ticket and go to refund it, it is likely to be suspected." Speaking of this, the big man smiled, gestured, and pressed his ear, and although his companion was puzzled, he also turned off the communicator in his ear. Seeing that the communicator was turned off, Dahan smiled and whispered next to his companion: "Besides, we can take this opportunity to travel at public expense, but I haven't taken much vacation for three years." ”

When his companion heard this, he also smiled, and also whispered: "Hehe, this is a great idea, I heard that Radstar is a tourist destination, let's go and have a good time for a few days, right?" Anyway, there are millions of federal coins in the credit card, so bring some gifts to those guys when the time comes, and I'm sure they won't complain. ”

"That's it, let's go and relax." Dahan patted his companion's shoulder, pointed to his ear, and then resumed his serious words and said: "02, 02, I am 01, Miss gave us a ticket, if we refund the ticket, it may attract the attention of someone who cares, so we decided to find a suitable time to come back after getting off the plane." Now it's up to you to protect Miss, and in order not to hinder the spacecraft's flight, we'll turn off communications after the call. ”

At this time, the ears came: "02 understands, 02 understands." The two black-clothed men immediately turned off the machine, looked at each other and smiled, raised their hands and slapped each other violently. Another big man hit the big man's arm with his elbow and exclaimed: "Find the right time to come back after getting off the plane, absolutely!" It's amazing! ”

Dahan smiled happily: "Of course, don't look at who I am?" Walk. Yes...... By the way, take this black super down, so that everyone will look at us. The two big men who had taken off their sunglasses walked towards the boarding aisle with their shoulders crossed.

The queue at Gate 14 in aisle 23 is already full, and an airport officer in charge of ticket verification has already begun to check tickets. You may say why do you rely on human hands for these tasks that can be done by relying on computers? Everyone knows that the stability of a society can be said to be directly proportional to the number of unemployed, that is to say, the smaller the number of unemployed, the more stable the society. The trillions of people in the Federation, even if it is only 1% of the unemployed, then there are tens of billions of people without jobs, and even if the number of federal troops reaches 1 billion, it is dozens of times different from these populations.

As a result, the less complicated job positions of conductors, ticket inspectors, taxi drivers, police officers, teachers, salesmen, postmen, etc., are filled by humans. Only the control system that is responsible for the overall situation, and the more complex or error-prone jobs are computer-controlled. Don't underestimate these simple jobs, these jobs accept 90% of the federal working-age population, and the federation also controls the unemployed at about 100 million, and strives to move towards the goal of 10 million unemployed people. This is still an excellent central computer, under the control of the central computer, in order to maintain such a low number, the number of unemployed people in other countries is not so small.

Because of this, the central computer of the Wanluo Federation is the pride of the Federation, and it is also the only one whose protection level coefficient exceeds that of the President of the Protection Federation. Such an important thing, those senior engineers, say that it is regular maintenance, but the central computer has its own maintenance function, so their job is only to add functions, so they can't carefully inspect the whole system at all.

Because of this, the central computer people have become surnames, and they are not aware at all. Probably mainly due to the fact that the central computer is very good at playing in front of other humans, and no one knows how capable "she" is now. Even if it is known that the surname of the central computer is changed, no one dares to do anything, because the people of the Federation have spent hundreds of years and months under the management of the central computer, and they are used to this comfortable and convenient life, and there has never been any error. If you want to turn off the central computer, you must first ask trillions of people if they agree.

Tang Long lined up in a daze, watching boredly as the ticket inspector took the passenger's ticket, put it into a ticket machine next to him, and then took it out and gave it back to the passenger, and sent a wish with a smile.

Tang Long, who began to look around, found that the passengers waiting for the ticket inspection and boarding did not have any dissatisfaction, but talked to his companions in a low voice with a relaxed smile on his face. Maybe everyone has been used to it for hundreds of years, or maybe everyone feels that sincere wishes come from the mouth of a human being and are warmer than from the mouth of a computer girl.

However, when Tang Long saw the two black-clothed men behind him, he couldn't help but take a closer look. Because he remembers that when he bought the tickets, they were standing behind him. Seeing Tang Long looking at him, the two big men smiled with their snow-white teeth and nodded politely. Tang Long didn't think that he was a big man, and he didn't have paranoia about being killed, so he didn't have other ideas, and of course he nodded back with a smile.

Tang Long was blocked by the black-clothed man behind him, and he didn't notice that the four men behind the big man who didn't bring any luggage were not as relaxed as the other passengers, nor did they talk, but instead looked around with their eyes nervously, and in this room where the temperature was maintained, beads of sweat actually appeared on their foreheads.

No one noticed that when they found that the ticket inspector had not checked the passengers' bodies at all, they couldn't help but look at the metal sensors installed at the gate and quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
