Chapter 12

 "What's going on?" The fourth brother reached out and turned off the hot water, "Zhanlu, report a malfunction."

 "Zhanlu's mecha body is severely damaged... 30%... 60%... 80%... Warning, continuing It's being damaged..."

 The fourth brother grabbed his cold wrist, and Zhan Lu suddenly opened his green eyes: "Sir, I have lost contact with the fuselage."

 For a moment, the fourth brother's pupils twitched violently . It shrank for a moment, but soon, he lowered his eyelashes to block his gaze, took the boiling water from Zhan Lu's hand, poured out a little, threw a tea bag in, and sat down behind the coffee table.

 The peaceful fragrance evaporates, and the sky of Beijing's Beta Star is a crisp blue.

 "An unexpected incident," the fourth brother reached out to wipe away the water dripping down the rim of the cup and twirled his fingers. He was still very calm and spoke a little slower than usual, "Don't panic, let's guess what happened first. The thing is - your fuselage is at the bottom of the Silver Fortress. Logically speaking, they won't put it on display. "

 "My fuselage defense system is the highest in the alliance and can withstand frontal attacks from all heavy weapons. , Judging from the damage speed just now, the fuselage should have been hit by heavy weapons continuously... There may be more than one hyperspace heavy mecha." Zhan Lu tried to connect to the mecha of the same name far away in the Silver Fortress, and repeated several times. After failing every time, he moved uncomfortably, as if he was rusty, and turned every joint on his body. "I'm sorry, sir, I feel a little uncomfortable now, as if my important organs have been cut." Something fell off."

 "..." The fourth brother was strangely silent for a second, "Zhan Lu, don't talk to others like this when you go out."

 "Okay sir," Zhan Lu said, "So, I store it at the bottom of Silver Fortress. The fuselage is being bombarded indiscriminately. "

 Then the Silver Fortress must have been fried to a crisp on the outside.

 The fourth brother leaned back and said, "The geographical location of the Silver Fortress is very delicate. It is located at the junction of the first and second stars. It is linked to the security of the two major galaxies. It is surrounded by eight interstellar channels. It is heavily guarded. There are also three military fortresses surrounding the periphery. It is strictly guarded. If you get up, even flies can't fly in. It's unrealistic to break through or make a large-scale heavy mecha jump."

 Zhan Lu turned his palms upward, and a three-dimensional interstellar channel map was suspended above the coffee table. The eight channels outside the Silver Fortress were dazzling. Seventy. Six levels pass through it. In addition, on the outside of the channel, there are three garrison fortresses: "Burun", "Little Hummingbird" and "Changbai Mountain", rotating around the Silver Fortress like three satellites.

 "I left the Silver First Guard on the merchant ship. If there was anything unusual, they should have passed on the news." The fake interstellar orbit was reflected in his gray eyes. He said, "The defense and armaments of the entire fortress are... I personally purchased six backup energy systems, and the armaments are enough to blow up the entire first galaxy into a meteor shower. Even if they send a dog to guard the Silver Fortress, they will not be defeated so silently."

 Zhan Lu added . One sentence: "The person who will take over the charge of the Silver Fortress is General Ares Li."

 The fourth brother - Lin - took off his military uniform and did not mention his real name. Lin Jingheng paused for a moment: "That is indeed the same as sending a dog there. "

 Zhan Lu said: "You mean, General Li, the top administrator of Silver Fortress, rebelled and took the initiative to shut down the defense system of Silver Fortress?"

 "It may be him, or it may be someone with higher authority," Lin Jingheng He turned the tea cup around and sneered, "Before I took action, they rebelled first - Zhan Lu, find a way to contact the First Guard and tell them to be smart and retreat. When evacuating, use civilian waterways to avoid danger." Open the Little Hummingbird Fortress."

 Regarding his orders, Zhan Lu always executes them first and questions them later. After sending the letter quickly, he said calmly: "General Yelif of the Little Hummingbird Fortress is your friend, sir. Do you suspect that he has betrayed the alliance?"

 "First, blow up the Silver Fortress into a Sieve requires at least hundreds or thousands of mechas. It is impossible for so many mechas to fly together in the sky like a spring outing, otherwise even nearby planets can detect it with the naked eye. Therefore, no matter whether this force comes from outside the territory, Even near the Heart of Rose, it is impossible to drive all the mechas into the first galaxy at once. The process of transporting weapons must be long-term and strictly confidential. Therefore, they must have a place near the Silver Fortress that can accommodate these heavy weapons. For the mecha, the position and orbit of the Little Hummingbird are ideal." Lin Jingheng paused, "Secondly, Yelif of the Little Hummingbird is not my friend. How did I get so many friends? Yelif is actually Teacher Lu. His old department was well hidden, so many people didn't know about it, allowing him to lie dormant and preserve his strength. For so many years, he was forced to keep to himself. Firstly, I used force to suppress him, and secondly, he looked at the teacher's face. He doesn't want to fall out with me. He is a wolf tied to my pillow. He hates me and is too fond of old feelings to bite me."

 Zhan Lu, who had just died, listened to the subtle relationship between these humans. It was almost overheating. After a while, he asked: "Sir, why did you tie a wolf to the pillow?"

 Lin Jingheng did not answer as usual, but simply ordered: "Keep a close eye on it, ask Bai Yinjiu to come from outside the territory, and go to the third place. " Find me at the edge of the Eight Galaxy."

 Zhan Lu's heels touched lightly, and at this moment, Penny's call came in.

 Lin Jingheng raised an eyebrow and signaled Zhan Lu to pick it up for him.

 Zhan Lu immediately answered the call, opened his mouth, and imitated Lin Jingheng's voice vividly: "What's the matter?"

 "Fourth brother," Petunia lowered her voice, "Someone wants to see you, saying that they are from outside the region. They said that you are talking to a person. You must be very interested in biochips... what kind of chips? Do you know about this?"

 Zhan Lu raised his head and looked at each other -

 after the chip in the "Spider"'s body was forcibly removed, the person behind him must have There will be a reaction, but...why is it at this time?

 Two and a half months into the school year, Xinghai College still hasn't recruited a single teacher, but the laboratory has been built, the teaching work is stable and smooth, and they even have an interstellar mecha that can be disassembled and played with. Everything is perfect.

 Lu Bixing sent the students away and returned to his laboratory as usual.

 Today is a bit unusual, because the laboratory and Zhan Lu are connected to the Internet. Usually Zhan Lu will greet him early through the computer. The magical artificial intelligence can borrow the mechanical equipment in the laboratory as its own body and serve as an assistant to Principal Lu. And always synchronize the progress to his master.

 That's right, this plagued artificial intelligence is so smart that it allows him to communicate with all investors smoothly without leaving home. Lu Bixing hasn't seen Lin Yinmao in three months.

 The mysterious Lin and his technological products, which are at least a hundred years beyond the eighth galaxy, are like a magnet, attracting the alien Lu Bixing. It's not necessarily that I haven't seen him for a day and I miss him like crazy, but I just want to talk to him if I have something to say. Although Lin always ignored him, and occasionally the response was not obvious, and he had to rely on a microscope to find it frame by frame, Lu Bixing just felt that no matter what he said, Lin would understand.

 In the vast eighth galaxy, it's not easy to find someone who doesn't think he's crazy.

 "Zhan Lu?" Lu Bixing called tentatively, but no one paid attention to him. It seemed that he was not here.

 Does artificial intelligence also miss work for no reason?

 Lu Bixing muttered, and while no one was looking at him, he messed up his hair, and his neat back was completely damaged by his two blows, hanging down inside and out, and then he stretched out his feet. A lazy man who can stretch himself by one meter, thinking: "If you don't want to come, don't come. I'm more comfortable on my own."

 While changing his clothes, he looked through the previous experiment records. Over the past few months, he and Zhan Lu had almost figured out the biochip. It could be said to be a rough version of the "Garden of Eden". The difference is that Eden is a network, an interactive platform. And this chip is more like a malicious signal transmission tower. With it as the center, it radiates outward. The greater the energy, the greater the radiation range. When it is activated, it will be like a virus, involuntarily invading people's senses and surrounding intelligent systems. The access method is exactly the same as the Garden of Eden, but it cannot communicate with people or machines in it. The chip can affect other people in a predetermined way. There are only a few ways to affect the senses, and they are all preset by the program inside the chip. The wearer cannot do whatever he wants.

 Another puzzling thing is...why can this chip turn "Spider" into an invulnerable superman?

 When previous attempts were made to implant biochips into mice, a similar situation did not occur.

 Lu Bixing flipped through the various physical data of the mouse, and stared at the biochip. As his eyes moved, he suddenly had a bad idea in his mind.

 "Zhan Lu, aren't you here?" He said to the empty office again.

 Still no sound.

 Lu Bixing acted as soon as his heart beat, and installed the medical equipment in a few clicks. He nervously and enthusiastically disinfected his whole body, then preset the program and lay down in the sterile cabin.

 The medical system in the laboratory was modified by Zhan Lu and was more advanced than Lu Bixing imagined. It was originally designed to deal with emergencies, but unexpectedly it was used by Principal Lu for human experiments.

 In less than a few moments, the small implant procedure was completed almost painlessly.

 Principal Lu, who wanted to die without waiting until dark, carefully recorded the various vital signs after the chip was inserted, while whistling a song called "The Cat Killed by Curiosity", and then he tried to activate the chip. .

 what happens?

 In an instant, a certain feeling of being hit by an electric current in his heart came over. It was just a moment, but it was not uncomfortable, and it made his heart "thump".

 Then, an indescribable tingling sensation came up, and the internal codes of all the surrounding machines appeared before his eyes, and Lu Bixing's own spirit was also connected to the chip.

 He seemed to be in a big wave, and external forces were forced into his brain. Just the connection made him extremely uncomfortable. The suddenly accelerated heart rate caused the medical equipment to sound a slight alarm, and an unprovoked thought burst out of his heart── I can do anything.

 Lu Bixing was stunned. His hand holding the metal railing subconsciously bent down, and the solid metal tie rod actually bent.

 Lu Bixing looked at each other with the bent metal pole for a moment, and his heroic spirit suddenly disappeared. He screamed: "This is so damn expensive!"

 At this time, Lu Bixing's ears suddenly moved, and his senses seemed to be connected. All electronic equipment in the laboratory building, including monitoring, is like a big spider with six-channel ears.

 The big spider heard the sound of the mecha storage room, and several bear students picked the lock and got in!

 "Just drive out for a spin. I haven't left the atmosphere yet." White was the trouble maker. "We are flying in orbit and will not leave Beijing. We will come back soon. The principal doesn't know."
