"Brother, this way!"

As soon as Li Hao left the Beijing Airport, he saw his sister Li Ying waving from afar.

Li Ying stood next to an Audi A8, wearing white-collar professional attire, looking much more mature than before.

Li Ying also had a radiant young man, he saw Li Hao, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Li, I finally met you, I am your fan, and I have been looking forward to meeting you for a long time." ”

"My fans?" Li Hao was stunned and looked at his sister.

Li Ying said with a smile: "He is the technical vice president of the company that you recruited from the hacker forum, Bai Yun smiled at Bai Xiuyuan." At present, he is also the deputy head of the national computer network security incident emergency response team, and is also a consultant expert for national projects such as computer crime forensics and computer disaster recovery systems. ”

Bai Xiuyuan smiled awkwardly and said, "In front of a real god like Brother Li, I really don't want to mention this. If it weren't for Brother Li dialing me a little, how would I have today's results? He is not humble in his words, Li Hao left him a lot of undisclosed system vulnerabilities last year, and he benefited greatly from them.

He enthusiastically took Li Hao's duffel bag, "I heard that Brother Li was coming, so I volunteered to be the driver, just eager to see Brother Li." Brother Li, please get in the car, and Mr. Li also please get in the car. ”

Li Hao and his sister got on the Audi, Bai Xiuyuan started the car and got on the airport expressway.

"I don't have class this morning, can I pick you up, class is going to be in the afternoon, now go back to the city for lunch?"

Li Hao asked: "Let's take a look at the company first, just eat next to the company, how many people are in the company now?" ”

"It's almost a hundred, and I'm about to move into a new office."

Li Haoqi said: "I haven't moved yet." ”

"Originally, we were going to move a few months ago, but the district party committee wanted us to stay in this district, and offered a lot of preferential conditions to stay. Coupled with the renovation of the old town in this area, I took a fancy to a plot of land for a planned commercial office building, so I went to participate in the auction. ”

Li Hao was secretly surprised when he heard this, his sister has changed a lot, she is no longer the little girl who just came out of the countryside, and she has a bit of the demeanor of a business elite.

If it had been a year ago, even if Li Ying had this capital, she would not have dared to implement this kind of investment.

I only heard Li Ying continue: "As a result, at the auction, our Wisdom Rubik's Cube obtained the land for 1180 million. Brother, I don't want to engage in real estate, but I want to obtain a high-quality physical asset for the wisdom cube.

"There is a high-rise commercial office building built there, and our company keeps two or three floors for our own use, and rents out the rest. In this way, the company has an additional income, the ability to resist risks is greatly enhanced, and the land and real estate are always appreciated in value.

"Before making a decision, I called you, but you turned off your phone, so I had to make up my own mind. If the company can develop a new version, I will also focus on the software field, but the company does not have the technology to improve the 'tutor' at all, and the money is lying in the bank, so it is better to invest in it. ”

Li Hao heard his sister say this big call, nodded and said: "The professional skills version of the tutor has been developed, and I will send it to the company for you in a few days." I also think that the company does not need to spend money at this stage, and it is good for you to invest your spare money and make a little constant production for the company. But this project is a bit big, can the funds be turned around? ”

Li Ying said: "It has been discussed in detail in the company meeting, as long as there are no extreme surprises, we can complete this project." In case of an emergency, the land can also be sold, and it is unlikely that no one will want it. ”

Li Hao smiled: "You can be confident, anyway, I don't have time, you can decide all the things of the Wisdom Cube." But I have a rule, don't go public unless you have to. ”

Li Ying was stunned, "Why?" ”

"If it is listed, it involves many minority shareholders, and it is inconvenient to adjust the company's strategy if it is necessary. The Rubik's Cube should not be purely for the purpose of making money. ”

Li Ying blinked her eyes wide: "It doesn't matter if we don't go public, anyway, we have plenty of funds." By the way, several companies in the United States, Canada, and Japan have recently contacted us, hoping to cooperate with us to develop foreign versions together, or to act as an agent for our overseas markets. ”

Li Hao shook his head and said: "If you don't develop foreign versions, the market in Huaxia will be very large, and now the usage rate among students is less than one percent, just dig deep into the domestic market." And don't buy educational software to the book, AV software is about the same as selling it to them.

Speaking of this, Li Hao suddenly became interested: "By the way, just develop a virtual beauty naked. Chat with the software to them, charged by the hour. As long as the virtual beauties are designed to be more beautiful, with a sense of surname, and the words they say in the chat are more obscene, they will definitely pay for it happily. ”

Li Yingmei was stunned: "Brother, do you still want the reputation of the Wisdom Cube?" ”

Li Hao smiled "hehe": "That, I'm also casually talking, I'm going to do research again in a few days, how can I have time to do this?" ”

They talked about some company matters again, and then the car drove into the city, and there were more cars on the road, and soon there was a traffic jam.

The car stopped, the capital deserved to be the "first block", Li Hao looked out of the car. A shop selling DVDs on the street has several posters of classic nostalgic films, one of which is "Heavenly Evil: Earth Strikes Back".

This is a film about the battle between the earth and aliens, Li Hao suddenly saw this poster, he was startled, his heart was full of horror, the cold hairs all over his body stood upside down, and a feeling of restlessness swelled.

He took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't suppress the intense uneasiness in his heart. How so? I haven't felt this way since I practiced the Force.

After practicing Force Induction, his senses were extremely sharp. Could this kind of induction be the film of this alien invasion, which has aroused the long-feared things in my subconscious?

Li Hao suddenly thought of the long-distance extraterrestrial communication that the scientific research spacecraft had received during the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Everything in the mirror plane and time is a true reflection of the world, that is, hundreds of years ago, the same communication drifted over the earth. After hundreds of years of evolution, I wonder if the alien race has expanded, will it expand to the earth?

"Brother, what's wrong with you? You don't look good! Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

"Ah, no, nothing, just remembered something unpleasant." Li Hao shook his head vigorously, but since this thought of his life, he had a strong impulse to immediately want to go back to the Northern Song Dynasty and drive a spaceship over to monitor the alien communications here.

At that time, I didn't pay enough attention to it, thinking that there would be at least a few hundred years of peace. Yes, there were at least a few hundred years of peace in the Northern Song Dynasty, but did the main world have it?

In case that alien race is expanding, this, his parents, sisters, classmates, and friends are not like they can casually avoid the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is important and should be confirmed as soon as possible. Li Hao was no longer interested in going to the company to take a look, he asked: "Where do you live, won't you still live in school?" ”

"It's like living in a school today, and living in a house bought near the company tomorrow weekend."

Li Hao groaned for a moment, "Go to your residence, don't go to the company." ”

"What's the matter, didn't you just talk about the company to take a look?"

"I remembered something very important, and I didn't have the heart to go to the company for the time being."

"Okay, anyway, it's about twelve o'clock when we go back over there now, and we'll talk about lunch after we have lunch."

The group returned to the vicinity of Li Ying's residence and had lunch at a hotel. Then Li Ying took her brother to the house she bought, leaving the magnetic card of the community and the key to the gate.

"Brother, I have a class in the afternoon, I'll come back tomorrow."

After Li Ying and Bai Xiuyuan left, Li Hao began to contact the intelligent system of the super wormhole, said how he felt just now, and asked, "Cracking and translating alien communications is a piece of cake for you." ”

The soft female voice of the intelligent system sounded: "Yes, as long as you are willing to expend energy, I can now access the network of that race, and I can figure out their intentions without being aware of them." But I want you to be mentally prepared. ”

Li Hao said "ah" and said, "What do you mean by this?" Do you think they're likely to expand into Earth? ”

"It's not that I feel, it's that you feel. You should learn to trust your instincts, and although you are still low and have a premonition that the future will not be possible, your Force sense is very sharp, and it is not surprising that there are some signs before the crisis. A Force practitioner doesn't feel frightened and restless for no reason, understand? ”

Li Hao was stunned for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, how much energy does it take?" ”

"Between 0.1 and 0.8."

"Let's get started." The energy consumption is so small that Li Hao was unexpected. The intelligent system of the wormhole does not need to consume much energy to obtain information, and even to scan across borders. Only by generating a wormhole will it take more energy to provide a passage through it.

In the past half a year, Li Hao has replenished a lot of energy with the Force in his free time, and now the wormhole energy has risen to 386 points.

After a few moments, the wormhole intelligence system said, "The information collection is complete. The intelligent system generated a three-dimensional starry sky map in the hall, Li Hao stretched out his hand and volleyed in the air, the force pulled, and the curtains in the house were closed, blocking the view from the outside, and the hall was darkened, and the cosmic star map was clearer.

The star map displayed in the hall is familiar to Li Hao, which is a three-dimensional model of the Milky Way. One of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, the Orion Arm, zooms in to mark the solar system. "That alien race is the Horns, and their birthplace and administrative center are located here. ”

As the words fell, a planet was marked.

"It is true that the Horn Empire is expanding its colonies, but between them and Earth, there is another alien civilization. This alien civilization is at war with the Horn race, but one hundred and fifty years ago, the main fleet of that alien civilization was defeated by the Horn race. ”

"That alien civilization is surviving, and it is estimated that it will only be able to support it for a while. In a hundred years at the fastest, two or three hundred years at the slowest, the Horn Empire will expand to Earth. With the resources of the earth, the Horn Empire will definitely not let it go. The civilization level of the Horn Empire is actually not very high, and it is much behind the Robb Republic that you have visited. ”

Li Hao muttered: "One or two hundred years, what can you do in one or two hundred years?" ”

In the history of the development of civilization, one or two hundred years is just a flick of a finger.

In terms of science and technology, if the earth develops normally for another two hundred years, it will definitely not be able to compete with the Horn Empire.

If it really gets to that point, even if you can't beat it, you can still escape. Although his own Force level is not enough to protect his parents, sisters, and others through the wormhole, he can find a way to get a large space carrier from the high-tech world and flee with hundreds of thousands of humans on board.

I don't know where my Force level will reach a hundred years from now.
