Chapter 971 The struggle of wishes

In addition to the good news, there is also a lot of disturbing news.

Chen Yan was sitting in a dark office, but she didn't feel any darkness in her body, but felt hot all over.

He locked the office door, came to his desk, sat on the boss's chair, and closed his eyes.

The next moment, the quantum clone opened his eyes in the network.

'Since the situation is getting more and more tense, I must make some preparations...

Let me see... the IP addresses of the other two Xun Kuang elements...'

Chen Yan recalled the IP address left by his wish, and quickly merged it into the ocean of data in the online world, heading in the direction of the IP address.

…

…

At this moment.

The interface between the BIOS and the deeper world.

Wishes looked at the endless sea, and the thoughts in his mind never stopped.

'The other side of the sea...is the BIOS?'

'That's not the case. The BIOS is closed, and even the driver cannot be directly accessed. This sea is even less possible.'

'So, what exactly is this sea?'

Wish left the [Cemetery] - that is, the [Bridge] as a driver, but she did not stay away. She was full of curiosity about the BIOS that was actually the "underlying world", and this curiosity drove her to make such a move.

Dangerous things——

She crossed the [Bridge], her first foot stepped on the beach covered with octopuses, and her last foot stepped on the surface of the deep sea where the octopuses came from. She headed towards the BIOS and began a journey that seemed to have no end.

of asceticism.

The sea surface is endless as far as the eye can see, and the sea water under the sea surface is as turbid and dark as the sea water in the real world. Desire has seen countless black afterimages wandering under the sea surface. Some of them were eager to try on her, but fortunately they all gave up on the dangerous pursuit in the end.

move.

Desire probably knew what those things were, so she wasn't afraid.

She didn't know how long she had been walking. The time here seemed to be much longer than the time in other places. She kept walking, and kept walking, until the sea water became hot, until the hot sea water became cold, until it became cold.

The water froze until a large ship stuck in the ice appeared on the ice.

This looked like a steam-powered ferry. The entire exterior of the ferry was rusted to a disgraceful appearance, and it didn't look like there was anyone on board.

Desire looked around, and suddenly remembered, wasn't this the ferry that Chen Yan took to the empire?

What does such an abstract concept mean?

She looked at the ice-covered sea around her, hesitated for a moment, and then got on the boat.

Most of the deck has rotted away, exposing the dark cabins. If you look through the holes in the deck, you can even see some dead bones in the cabins.

She found the cabin where Chen Yan was originally with an uneasy feeling. She was relieved when she saw that there were no bones wearing Chen Yan's clothes in the cabin.

'At least Chen Yan is real.' She thought to herself.

She went up to the roof along the building next to the huge ship building, and saw an old captain sitting next to the mast that was used as a flagpole. He was holding a wine bottle. The old captain was wearing a black and white shabby captain's uniform, and his body was very faded.

The action also suffered from serious lags and frame drops, and it seemed as if enough program execution errors and bugs had accumulated, so that now there was only one action that could be completed - the black and white old captain holding a black and white cuboid metal

The wine bottle is used to drink the wine one mouthful at a time with a mechanical movement.

Desire came to him, grabbed the wine bottle from his hand, and drank the rest of the wine in a few sips.

The old captain raised his eyes with bewildered eyes and cried "Wow" when he saw that all his wine was drunk.

'Hmm, finally it's not completely destroyed and it can still be used.'

I wish I drank up the wine in a few sips, threw the bottle into the sea, took two sips to the side, and cursed:

"You have the nerve to put out cat urine and let people drink it!"

When the old captain heard her voice, his eyes shifted from the wine bottle to her face, and his eyes gradually focused.

"You, you, you...what are you doing!"

Wishes looked at this man and greeted him like an old friend:

"Aren't you bored here?"

Speaking of the heartache, the old captain sighed with a vicissitude of tone:

"It's boring to say it's boring, it's not boring to say it's not boring, it's quite comfortable to look at the sea every day."

Wishes used his unique vision to deconstruct the old captain and asked at the same time:

"Have you ever thought about going back?"

Speaking of "going back", the old captain suddenly became a little depressed:

"I...I am too old to be of much use. Even if I go back, I will be a drag on others...I...I don't really want to go back."

Wishes sat down next to him and rubbed him with her shoulder:

"Don't be so sad! I think your algorithm is quite simple and its functions are quite efficient. As long as you are willing to go back, there will definitely be a place for you in the driver core!"

The old captain's eyes began to shine:

"Really...really? Will they...welcome me back?"

Wishes nodded vigorously:

"They must really want you to come back!"

The old captain was so inspired that he stood up suddenly, his old captain's uniform looking brand new!

"Okay... okay! Then let's go back!"

After the old captain finished speaking, the colors spread out from under his feet with him as the starting point. In a moment, the entire ship was no longer pure black and white, the damaged deck was restored to its original appearance, and a new layer of paint appeared on the rusted areas!

'Great! This old guy can still run on the updated BIOS!'

With the hoarse roar of the steam turbine engine, a stream of white, black and thick gray steam surged out from the central chimney of the ferry. The sound of breaking ice echoed around the ferry, and large shadows were blown from under the sea.

Disperse.

During the violent shaking of the ship's hull, as the last shadow was dispersed from underneath the ship, a large number of crew members appeared on the deck in the vision of the wish. They didn't look alive yet, but fortunately they all performed their duties and the division of labor was clear. The ferry

With the second roar, it started to move towards the deepest part of the frozen world.

…

…

When the quantum clone reached the end of the IP address left by the wish through the sea of ​​data, Chen Yan had already passed several firewalls that were stricter than any he had encountered before, and some were protected by strange and maze-like encryption methods.

Server gateway.

'The world's Internet technology is becoming more and more advanced.'

Chen Yan was a little stressed. The world's Internet technology is constantly advancing, but the ability of quantum clones is inherently unchanged. One day, the programming technology mastered by programmers on the Empire Internet will exceed the capabilities of quantum clones, and

All Chen Yan could do was sit back and wait for death.

'Fortunately it hasn't happened yet.'

As long as you don't encounter the kind of "god programmers" who "annihilated" the quantum clones in Yanan City, the quantum clones can still thrive in the online world.

Chen Yan walked along the network cable and observed the physical address of the server, feeling constantly surprised.

While moving forward in the online world, he actually passed through the physical servers of the imperial capital - with the server security encryption level constantly improving, he first entered the non-core server through an outsourced labor dispatch agency of the imperial government, and then

Through the mobile phone of a certain big shot connected to the server, he followed the clues and entered an encrypted private domain of the server - this may be a department with a security level in the empire - and after obtaining more IP addresses and information in the private domain of the server, he

A small number of connections to the target IP are obtained.

The further he advanced, the closer he got to the core of the empire. The tracing of IP addresses kept the search radius shrinking until it concentrated on one point - Chen Yan was sure that this was a large water-cooled core server in the capital of the empire, because

The server was built in an underground watershed under a certain mountain in the imperial capital, and had seriously damaged the ecology of the underground watershed, causing a very tragic and vicious paranormal phenomenon to occur in the area - Chen Yan discovered that the longitude and latitude of the physical address began to remain unchanged, and the altitude began to rise rapidly.

high.

In the process, he captured some physical addresses through network cables, and discovered that he was actually inside the logistics center airport in the Imperial Capital - a logistics center airport much smaller than the Dais Island Mechanical Hive, and it was not open to civilian use.

Even within this server, there are encrypted links everywhere, which caused great inconvenience to Chen Yan.

Fortunately, the quantum clone was able to pass this level of encryption - it was nothing more than kicking the door open instead of squeezing in through the crack in the door - Chen Yan followed the network cable all the way up, and the altitude quickly climbed to over 40,000 meters.

From here on, the words [STR-Number] began to appear in the server domain name, and Chen Yan knew that he had entered the numbered Starlink military base space station of Starvo Heavy Industry.

After entering outer space and raising the altitude to 50,000 meters, coordinates could no longer be defined by latitude, longitude and altitude. Chen Yan could only use Starvo Heavy Industries' space station code to determine his distance from the earth's surface.

After the word STR appeared in the server domain name, the encryption level inside the server increased again. Firewalls of various types were almost everywhere, and administrators patrolled certain IP addresses.

Chen Yan was very puzzled. What were they trying to prevent?
