Chapter 98: Betrayal (Part II)
The two of them drank half a bottle of tuna vodka, and their faces were slightly red with drunkenness, "Let's talk about it now." Gu Tie leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "What do you want you to do?" β
Xiao Liping took off his gold-rimmed glasses, fiddled with them, and put them back on. Gu Tie could see from the abnormal reflection of the lenses that there was an optical projection mechanism projected on the retina on the inside of the glasses, and understood that Lao Xiao should be monitoring the picture captured by the camera, but he didn't say anything. Xiao Liping lit a cigarette and threw it to Gu Tie, lit another one himself, and watched the red of the cigarette butt flickering in fascination, "Actually, until now, I don't know what Kalkir wants. "The betrayers have done a lot of things, but there is no correlation between the instructions of the Gallirs, and there is no real meaning in them. I told you that the Betrayer is the 'Guardian of Balance', but this is just a personal conjecture, and I think that the Khakir wanted to keep the real world running and make the Betrayer a buffer between the Brotherhood and the Ghost, the GTC and the IPU, and in fact we managed to avoid several head-on clashes between the Brotherhood and the Ghost's right hand, neither of them realizing that there was a third party in the battle for the key factor of the candidate. β
Gu Tie took a puff of cigarette, circulated it in his lungs, highlighting a large and round smoke ring, he picked up the cigarette case with a slightly surprised expression and looked at it, "Soft Marlboro, produced in Senegal." It's been a long time since I've smoked a cigarette with such a mellow taste, and it's kind of interesting. β
Xiao Liping said: "The Senegal factory uses high-quality tobacco from Zimbabwe, and you may know that Zimbabwe is the second largest exporter of tobacco leaves in the world, and the quality of locally produced cigarettes in Africa is the highest due to the quality loss caused by transportation. β
"Ahh Gu Tie put the cigarette case in his pocket, "Go on." How many members of the betrayers are there?βI mean apart from a few of your core members. β
"Three hundred and two. Lao Xiao said the answer without thinking, "All over the world." All of them are elites in the industry, but the combatants are very scarce, after all, they are not an organization that seeks to use force. β
Gu Tie pouted: "Amazing, it can make me completely unaware, and I have to praise your level of secrecy." β
Xiao Liping said: "No, you just never doubted the organization itself, to you, the betrayer is more like an interest group to pass the time, isn't it?"
β...... Say whatever you want. Gu Tie took a deep puff of his cigarette, "What about the countdown numbers? I discovered the irrational numbers, and I wrote the calculation program, so it can't be the ghost of Gakil." β
"The countdown is real, and in part it is one of the reasons why Gakir is close to us, and he thinks that the string of numbers will indicate a critical moment, a moment when some kind of catastrophe will be avoided through the intervention of the traitor. Lao Xiao said.
"The more I listened, the more confused I became. Gu Tie said, "I hate mysticism. β
"That's just the way it is, brother. Lao Xiao said, "This is the betrayer, whether you can accept it or not, the facts are in front of you." I shouldn't say these things to you, but I must keep my promises, after all, you are my ......"
Gu Tiedao: "Okay." One last thing, tell me what those people are up to right now. β
"Who?"
"You know that. β
"I don't understand. β
Gu Tie raised his eyebrows and showed a sarcastic smile: "Pretend to be stupid." Just now I spied on the terminal information of several core members through the quantum network, and now the coordinates of Sakhir, Shamxel, and Lemuel are concentrated at 46 degrees 2 minutes north latitude and 63 degrees 2 minutes east longitude, which is a semi-desertified area of Kazakhstan, where there is nothing but gravel and wild rabbits. -- In addition to the Knubair Cosmodrome, Russia's largest manned rocket launch center before it was abandoned in 2006. With the dissolution of the CIS, the deterioration of diplomatic relations with Kazakhstan, the relocation of the Russian space center to the Far Eastern Pacific, and the Knubayer center being closed off as a dead city. The coordinates of the three old friends point to this abandoned launch center, I guess it can't be a scout hike, right? A NASA astronaut, an American anthropologist, and an angel investor in the field of Nordic science, appear in the desert where birds don't lay eggs, this strange combination will make people a little concerned......
Xiao Li looked at him expressionlessly.
"In other words, in addition to Matril who commands the war, the ghostly Kalkir, and you and me who are hiding underground, the large army of betrayers is tinkering with some mysterious things at the Space Launch Center, are you interested in talking to me about this matter?"
Lao Xiao was silent for a full minute. "I didn't expect you to lock their location through the network, Lemuel used all the network under the group's name to build a firewall, I didn't expect you to bypass it so easily...... Did you add a Trojan to everyone's text messages?
The master of the Pure Land grinned: "From the very beginning. I've said that you're the only person I trust in the world, so when they join the betrayers, I add Trojans to encrypted messengers, and those colorful little bugs are actually very vicious. As you said, Lemuel's firewall caused me some trouble, I couldn't control the other party's terminal with great fanfare, and I could only send a little bit of information through the cracks in the firewall through the internal test through the Trojan horse, and the information fragments included GPS information, data traffic, instantaneous allocation time, and some unparsed garbled characters. But now I regret it, only you don't have the Trojan I planted in your terminal account, so you can't do it if you want to seize the control center of this base. β
Xiao Liping's eyes looked very indifferent, "Is that so? Then I have to inform Kakir, I think he has a way to eliminate this little hidden danger." β
"Ah, please. Gu Tie owed, and picked up the canned box of wine: "If you have a chance, I really want to talk to him." β
Lao Xiao sat there and didn't move. The unsmoked cigarette was about to burn to his fingers, and he carefully extinguished the cigarette butt in the can, "Forget it, it's not a big deal." Remind you, my heartbeat, blood pressure, brain waves, and other physiological states are all monitored in real time by the automatic defense system, and if you use the props in your pocket to put me in a coma, I'm afraid the machine gun in the ceiling will do something unfriendly, brother. β
"You're a liar. Gu Tie spread out his hand unexpectedly, and there was a small glass bottle between his fingers, which was the TTDS nerve gas that was quietly installed on his body when he selected props in the arsenal, which was the same model of poison gas that Hasegawa Honsaka used to kidnap him back then. "You said you don't have any old weapons like machine guns, liar. β
"The scientific name is the six-barreled Gatling gun. Lao Xiao said. "It doesn't hurt to tell you, a year and a half ago we got the ownership of the Knubar Space Center in Kazakhstan through unofficial means, and although the Russians took all the equipment with them when they retreated, the rails, the assembly plant, the control center and the launch pads were intact and ready for use with simple repairs. We are using the name of an International Civil Space Cooperation Organization (ISFO) company, and all of our employees are members of the betrayals, and the Kazakh government has provided us with a considerable degree of convenience, because I have facilitated nine large infrastructure projects that have been built by Chinese counterparts and brought tens of billions of dollars in economic aid to that impoverished country. β
Gu Tie raised his eyelids: "You guys are building rockets." Now civilian space technology has been quite developed, using recyclable cheap rockets, it only costs 100,000 US dollars to launch five kilograms of cargo into synchronous orbit. So, what you want to build is not a low-orbit launch vehicle, but a big guy that can put the payload into the lunar orbit, like the Proton, Energy, and Arian heavy launch vehicles...... No, even bigger. β
"Do we have any reason to build a heavy rocket?" said Lao Xiao with a blank face.
"I can come up with several, but the most plausible one is just not explaining one problem. Gu Tie scratched the tip of his nose, "At a regular meeting, Sakhir showed everyone the GTC deep space satellite model seen in the space program, which was equipped with a model of a small quantum computer. At that time, we made some arguments about this, but we didn't come to any conclusions. -- I think you're doing the same thing. But why should I be told? Isn't it risky to show me satellites? After all, I'm an outright outsider. β
Xiao Liping's fingers moved slightly, and Gu Tie immediately noticed this small body movement, "Your body language tells me that you think of contrasts about volume, weight, or scale, and you're saying 'much bigger'." ...... I see, old Xiao, I see. It was a very naΓ―ve idea that the satellite model was made by the ghost members of the GTC, but it happened to touch your sensitive zone, as your research has been going on for years, and is even close to success. You are playing that play in front of me to see how much I know about it, and whether it will hinder the plan. The Chinese slumped on the sofa and smiled bitterly, "That makes sense, it turns out that this is the ultimate answer to the ghost problem that Kalkir has planned." The finished product you have created is so big that you have to use heavy rockets to hit space and then go through multiple stages of propulsion to reach the third cosmic velocity, and Sakire's astronautical knowledge and Lemuel's scientific resources are the basis for all this, and of course, more importantly, the sociological theories of Shamcheel, because you want to create a whole new world......"
Xiao Liping suddenly stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Wait a minute, someone is coming." Surveillance shows that someone has approached the top of the cube room...... More than one guest. β
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
