Borderlands: The Death Examination Room Chapter 40: Wind Alteration Substation (5)
The floodgates hadn't opened yet, but the temperature in the archives was approaching fifty degrees Celsius and was still rising.
In this case, the human body will control the balance of body temperature by sweating profusely, so even if they take off their coats, the three of them still sweat like rain the moment they enter the archives.
The file shelves are constantly closing towards the incinerator, once the two iron shelves are fitted, there will be a huge attraction between each other, Lu Ting and Cheng Sikong tried to pull the closed file shelves apart, but found that this power is very human.
So they had to give up the idea of pulling the file shelves apart, and could only turn their heads and look for clues on the shelves that had not yet been moved.
But there were so many archives that they couldn't be sure which two were problematic without having read every single volume.
If the file is destroyed and the task fails, but if you get the wrong file, the task will also fail.
There was no time for them to ponder, as long as all the file shelves were closed, they would be thrown into the incinerator together.
Lu Ting was helpless, and Cheng Sikong was also in trouble for a while.
The three of them were sweating in the scorching space, and Lu Ting looked through the archives, but he couldn't find anything wrong with the dense digital records.
In the current situation, even the top professors of finance, accounting, and auditing in the star field may not be able to complete the task in such a short time.
Shu Yungui's sweat had already soaked the overalls vest, and even the tips of his hair were dripping, his mind was running rapidly under pressure, but his eyes were attracted by a red electronic screen.
The file shelves are closed according to the arrangement of the intelligent assistant, but this is only a self-destruct program after all, not a killing program, so only when all the file shelves are closed, the intelligent assistant thinks that the first step is completed, and the next step will be sent to burn.
This is the shortcoming of old-fashioned intelligent programs, which lack the necessary rational analysis of changing realities.
To put it simply, as long as the shelves never close, this old, outdated intelligent system will think that the first step of the process has not been completed, and will not move on to the second step.
Shu Yungui immediately shouted: "Hurry up and stop the file shelves from continuing to close!" ”
"You speak lightly!"
Lu Ting used his strength to eat milk against the back of the sliding file shelf, but how many catties is a person, and a file shelf weighs hundreds of pounds not counting the files piled up on it, and Lu Ting is in front of it, just like a big truck blocking a bucket of instant noodles.
Cheng Sikong raised his hand and drove out of the "coordinate rewriting", wanting to move the file shelf to the open area outside the thermal power nuclear group, but each file shelf is linked to the track, not alone, and if you want to rewrite the file shelf, you have to unlink it first.
If you want to deal with that old-fashioned hinged pulley, you have to lift the file rack in its entirety, even if it is Jiang Ruzhou, the power is instantaneous, no one can lift such a heavy file rack for so long.
Cheng Sikong immediately went to touch the gun, but their combat uniforms were semi-one-piece, and when they took off their coats, they unfastened their tactical belts and put them together with the guns in the "original space".
Cheng Sikong went to untie Lu Ting's belt without thinking, Lu Ting's hands were still on the file shelf, and he said in horror when he saw this: "Why are you taking off my pants?!" ”
Too lazy to explain more to him, Cheng Sikong pulled out Lu Ting's belt, threw the fragmentary communicators, tactical daggers and the like to the ground, and then tore off the belt buckle with force.
The tactical belt buckle is made of superalloy and is harder than iron.
He shouted "Shu Yungui" and threw the belt buckle over!
The belt buckle became hot in the heat, Shu Yungui was almost burned, and he used the "absolute lock" with his backhand to throw the belt buckle on the top of the file shelf.
The Chogokin jammed between the pulley and the iron frame, and a sharp metal grinding sound sounded in the archive room, and the sliding file rack hissed like a dumb record.
The first shelf stopped, and so did all the shelves behind it, each with a distance of one person's width.
Sure enough, as Shu Yungui thought, the old intelligent program thought that the first step of closing was not completed for a long time, and the floodgates of the incinerator were never opened.
"Find the file!"
The archives were in chaos for a moment.
Only Shu Yungui didn't move, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his eyes were still staring at the electronic screen.
The screen shows that the progress of closing is 93%, the progress bar is stuck, and the intelligent assistant does not do anything about this situation.
Apparently the people who designed these programs didn't take into account mechanical obstacles, or rather, they didn't think that intelligent programs needed to be capable of solving temporary contingencies.
Because of the absolute idealization of the designer, Shu Yungui left a little precious time for them.
Shu Yungui slid the electronic screen, wanting to see if he could undo the self-destruct program.
Generally speaking, the self-destruct procedure is irreversible once it starts, but Shu Yungui still wants to gamble with luck.
There is really no option to terminate the self-destruct program on the electronic screen, but the self-destruct progress interface can be retreated to the background first, Shu Yungui quickly browsed the main operation interface, wanted to find the program code writing entrance, and tried to rewrite the self-destruct program.
In fact, he doesn't know much about artificial intelligence, he just took a "military compilation principle" in a military school, and I don't know if it can come in handy.
There weren't many options on the main interface, so Shu Yungui simply clicked on every option and read it.
He clicked his fingers very quickly, and immediately exited after confirming that it was not the writing entrance, and sometimes the inertia of action was faster than thinking, and when a video preview jumped out, he subconsciously clicked to close.
"Huh? What is that? ”
There seemed to be that fleeting image still on the retina, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came to Shu Yungui involuntarily clicked on the option called "Live Video Backup" again.
Cheng Sikong and Lu Ting saw him standing here and didn't move for a long time, so they also came over at this time.
Shu Yungui clicked on the first video, which was a large panorama, and the background location in the video was familiar to them, which was a thunderstorm mine.
Shu Yungui glanced at the recording time in the upper right corner, it was the new ephemeris 237 years.
At that time, there was no artificial sun, and the entire mine was illuminated by several large lighting facilities, and the electricity used for lighting should have come from wind erosion substations.
In the video, the entire thunderstorm mine is shrouded in an ionized defense net set up by Three Rivers Mining, apparently to protect against lightning over the mine and to prohibit unrelated personnel from entering.
At the beginning of the video, everything is normal, just as the miners are changing shifts, and a team of miners who are about to leave the mine are ready to go at the entrance of the mine, talking and laughing, waiting for the mine truck to transport the previous team of miners to come up.
Soon the entrance of the mine was lit up with a green light, the protective fence was opened, and the miner captain of the team outside walked over with the handover order, wanting to check the data with the person in charge.
In the video, the captain of the miners can be seen not fully entering the mine, his arms are resting on the protective fence, looking relaxed and casual, and he does not feel that what he does every day will be dangerous.
The mutation happened at this moment, two slender black shadows suddenly popped out of the mine, and the miner captain quickly swept in, and the people waiting outside to get out of the mine suddenly panicked, they turned around and ran desperately into the distance as if they had seen some terrible monster.
However, the black shadows in the mine were faster than them, and they catapulted out of the mine like ropes, wrapping around the arms, ankles, and necks of the fleeing miners, and dragging them back to the cave one by one!
From the time everyone started to run and all of them were dragged back, it took less than thirty seconds.
There is only a dead silence in the picture, and everything seems to be frozen.
Lu Ting touched his heart, and said with palpitations: "Do you see what it is?" ”
To be honest, Cheng Sikong didn't see it clearly, so he could only recall it from memory, and said: "The black rope-like thing has a visual ejection speed faster than a bullet." ”
Shu Yungui rubbed his eyes that were dried up by the high temperature, and questioned: "In my cognition, all things or weapons with this kind of ejection speed are either not recyclable after ejection, like bullets, or the recovery speed is very slow, like the flying claws used in special operations. ”
"I feel that the shadow shrinks even faster than it catapults, and this could never have happened with weapons or equipment a thousand years ago."
Cheng Sikong bent his finger against his chin and said, "Let's look back and see if we can pause and enlarge the picture." ”
Shu Yungui nodded, and when he was about to replay the video, a figure suddenly appeared in the picture that had been silent, the person was wearing the work clothes of Sanhe Mining, and the khaki work clothes were splashed with blood.
His legs didn't seem to stand up straight, bent at a strange angle, so slow that he walked slowly, and it took a long time to get out of the mine.
Shu Yungui thought at first that it was an injured and surviving miner, but it was not until the man was completely exposed to the lights that Shu Yungui was surprised to see countless sharp spikes growing on the man's back, and he slowly crawled out in an almost crawling posture, raising his head towards the surveillance camera little by little.
It was a face that was both terrifying and familiar, with huge red eyeballs that were so prominent that they almost fell out of their bulging sockets.
The angle of rotation of the eyeballs in the eye socket reached almost three hundred and sixty degrees, and the man saw the surveillance camera, so the eyeballs no longer turned, but stared at this side, from Shu Yungui's point of view, the red eyeballs seemed to be staring at them through the screen.
The man grinned, the corners of his mouth almost split behind the base of his ear, and his entire jaw was almost disconnected from his skull, and even from a distance, the minced flesh and fragments of his uniform could be clearly seen in his mouth that had not yet been swallowed.
The man screamed at the surveillance camera, and two slender black strips of meat suddenly ejected from his mouth, and quickly attacked the camera.
The picture is plunged into endless darkness.
Even in such a high-temperature environment, Shu Yungui still felt that he was in a cold sweat.
Lu Ting's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "I'm not mistaken, right? The ...... that came out of his mouth Is it a reptilian tongue?! ”
Cheng Sikong didn't speak, and Shu Yungui answered him.
"You read that right......"
Shu Yungui was sweating, and his face was as pale as paper.
"A ...... of a Thousand-Year-Old Mutant"
