Like many of China's hidden and great institutions, Hsieh's institute is located somewhere in the west in a barren and remote place. From a distance, it is just a gray and low-key building. But at a distance of several kilometers, there will be signs and sentinels of the "Military Administration Zone" standing guard, isolating the institute from the world of ordinary people.

It's daytime, the sun is silent, and the air is fresh. The institute also seems to be quiet. From the outside, you can barely see a human figure.

However, in the research room that Professor Xie is in charge of, everything is going on intensely and secretly.

Four or five young researchers, guarding several Tianhe-4 A-type super-large computers, did not blink their eyes, did not blink a sip of water, stared at the screen, and constantly measured and adjusted the data. They are all Xie Jinxing's most proud and trusted disciples, and they are very excited, focused, and desperate in front of this unprecedented task.

Xiao Qiongyan is their temporary group leader. At this moment, he was sitting in front of one of the computers with his long metal legs folded, staring at the screen with extreme seriousness, his silver-white fingers beating rapidly. At the same time, he did not forget to read the fragments in his mouth, giving orders and guidance to each researcher.

"Xiaobai, No. 2 machine data maintenance, individual error repair!"

"Qiuqiu, the part you are responsible for has a scene blurring phenomenon, hurry up and repair it!"

"Bamboo poles! The virtual crystals and gene box parts are beautifully done! I believe I've lied to that stinky man! ”

……

Although they have only been together for a few days, he has given the nickname of "image" to every wooden and hard-working engineering man on the scene, but this does not prevent the researchers from liking and admiring this computer genius robot. Zhuang Chong also asked Xiao Qiongyan: "Do you get along well with those men?" Xiao Qiongyan replied, "Oh, that's great. I feel like I'm the Queen, leading a group of knights to save the prince and princess! ”

The atmosphere in the research room was very tense, and even if Xiao Qiongyan took the time to make flower tea and pastries to serve, it could not relieve the emotions in everyone's hearts. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

One of the researchers got up, walked to the door, and carefully opened a slit: "What's the matter?" ”

Throughout the mission, the research room was completely closed, and a sign saying "Do not enter during the experiment" was hung at the door. But once in a while, there are people who need to deal with it.

Standing outside the door was a researcher from another department in the institute, who smiled and asked, "What have you been busy with lately?" So mysterious? With that, he poked his head in.

The researcher who opened the door closed the door almost immediately, and then said flatly: "I can't tell you more about the confidential task assigned by our professor. "Xie Jinxing has a very high status in the law firm and has deterrent power. The researcher outside the door didn't speak, and after a while, the footsteps faded away.

Xiao Qiongyan raised his head and asked, "Who is so gossipy?" You okay? ”

"It's fine."

Xiao Qiongyan didn't pay attention to it, glanced at the summary of various data again, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed out.

As soon as the phone was connected, a bright smile bloomed on his face: "Brother-in-law! Everything is going well on my side, but what about you? ”

When he received the call, Xie Jinxing was in the deep mountains and old forests near the ancient town of Shadu. Two tents, with three or two researchers, and a lot of equipment and instruments. They were just as nervously busy. If the computer group in the research institute is the center of the system that creates the virtual space, then they are the terminal that exerts influence on the people of the corresponding cold time.

"Everything is going according to plan." Xie Jinxing replied. However, despite Xiao Qiongyan's brisk tone and the work of the researchers in an orderly manner, Xie Jinxing's heart was still shrouded in layers of dark clouds.

This is not an easy, surefire task.

He remembered the situation a few days ago, when he was discussing with Ying Hanshi. When Ying Han told the plan of the virtual space, everyone thought it was incredible, and they all had doubts and worries.

"Gotta do this...... Virtual space? A researcher asked, "If we report to our superiors, maybe we can use elite forces to arrest that person directly." ”

Ying Hanshi shook his head, calm and determined: "His combat power is beyond your imagination, and it is beyond the comprehension ability of the Earth Army. If you confront him head-on, it is likely that you will cause a lot of casualties and you will not be able to catch him. In that case, Jinzhi's situation will be even more dangerous. ”

Xie Jinxing agrees with this view. Lin represents another higher civilization, the pinnacle of power. This civilization is far beyond the stage of development of the earth, and the consequences of rash and frontal attack are simply unpredictable.

Zhuang Chong asked, "Set a trap?" Poisoned? Turning the tiger away from the mountain? ”

Xiao Qiongyan patted his head: "Stupid you, the emperor is very vicious and scheming, how can ordinary traps be so easy to be fooled?" And according to the information provided by Lin Jie, as well as Daniel's reconnaissance these days, he is almost inseparable from the two women, always vigilant, how can we be so easy to start? Poisoned? The emperor has long been invincible! ”

Another researcher asked, confused, "Even if you want to create a virtual space and introduce you inadvertently, once you enter the virtual space, the physical body will lose consciousness. Can we take advantage of this time to subdue his body or even ...... Wouldn't it be a success if you killed him? ”

When others heard it, they also felt that it made sense. Ying Han said, "This won't work." Any physical pain and injury may make Lin immediately realize that the space he is in is virtual, and we who are in it will be very dangerous and difficult to get rid of him. And even after killing his physical body, the consciousness has entered the virtual space and is immortal. ”

When they heard this, they were silent. Because although defeating Lin is their goal, saving people is the more important goal. If it causes Lin's consciousness to go crazy in the virtual space and kill Ying Hanshi and Xie Jinzhi, it will be the result of the same end, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The atmosphere at that time was so solemn and dazed, Ying Hanshi looked around and said slowly: "I know that this method is very risky, but it is also the best way to win: let Lin think that the virtual space is real, leave with the virtual chip and gene pool, and go to his asteroid." Jinzhi and I looked for an opportunity to get rid of him and return to the real world. And he will repeat the same life in it, day after day, and he will always be on his way to the asteroid, and he will not be aware of it. This is equivalent to imprisoning him in a cage forever. ”

——

The sky was overcast, and the clouds were so thick that they seemed to be pressing down on the mountain peaks. The rain is always sparse, but every leaf in the rain is tender green and delicate. The world is so real that you can't see any clues.

Xie Jinzhi and Ying Han stood in the large patch of fallen leaves and grass at the bottom of the valley, still a little apprehensive. Leng Buding's waist tightened, and when he was cold, he lowered his head and hugged her.
