Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 662 General Archives
Accompanied by the slight sound of mechanical gear rotation, the elevator began to descend—Ke Lan could feel that the sense of weightlessness was gradually strengthening. Through the glass walls on both sides of the car, one could see that the well wall was rising rapidly, one after another. The red indicator light flashes.

The distance between each red indicator light in the elevator shaft is four meters. Ke Lan counted 460 and five indicators before the car suddenly slowed down and stopped.

This is the deepest part of the Heijing. If the No. 800 stratum in the northern area is used as the benchmark, the depth here is [-] more than [-] meters.

Just in the center of the ark.

The car door opened, and the lights on both sides of the dark corridor ahead were lit up one by one.

"You have arrived at the bottom of the black well, Noah's Ark General Archives." Said the cold mechanical female voice.

Now that the technology has developed to the point where it is possible to synthesize virtual voices that are hard to distinguish between real and fake, but to use such a blunt mechanical sound... Are those people from the Undead Crew Club playing retroism?Ke Lan complained inwardly, and walked forward.

Compared with the obsidian-built corridor in the conference room in the core area, this corridor composed entirely of metal modules is much longer, but fortunately, the entire passage is completely straight, with neither bends nor forks. Don't worry about getting lost in it.

Ke Lan's boots stepped on the solid metal floor, making a "da da" sound. These sounds were transmitted along the corridor to the distance, and then echoed back.

There was a faint smell of rust in the air,
Ke Lan stopped vaguely until there was a rustling sound above his head. Looking up, he found more than a dozen mechanical spiders clinging to the heights of the two walls. Those eye-like monitors emitted a dark red light. Coupled with the creepy sound of the metal limbs rubbing against the wall... If a timid guy were here, he might turn around and walk towards the elevator immediately.

Seemingly realizing that Ke Lan had noticed these mechanical spiders, the mechanical female voice said again: "These self-disciplined spider robots are part of the Heijing guard force, directly controlled by the core mastermind."

"Using robots as guards...is it because you can't trust people?" Ke Lan complained.

Probably the AI ​​didn't know how to respond to this complaint, and the mechanical female voice didn't answer.

What a stupid AI... Ke Lan secretly slandered that imperfect artificial intelligence can be classified as artificially retarded. The AI ​​that manages Heijing is not even as good as the intelligent housekeeper in his previous residence, so he doesn't know It was trained by a third-rate programmer.

"Aren't these self-disciplined mechanical guards afraid of being invaded by viruses and Trojan horses?" Ke Lan asked again.

"Virus programs cannot pass through the firewall of the core mastermind." The AI's answer was stupid... er, or rather formulaic.

"Oh, really?" Ke Lan murmured, since the other party said so, he felt a little itchy... If when you are free, try to attack the firewall of your core brain?
In the past, this kind of behavior was almost the same as committing suicide, but now that Ke Lan has officially become a member of the Undead Crew Club, everything is naturally different.

Finally, Ke Lan reached the end of the corridor.

A circular airtight door with a diameter of more than 30 meters. There is neither a handle nor a lock hole or a key for a password on the door. There are only dozens of palm-deep grooves——Ke Lan started I thought these grooves were imitated from the places where energy crystals were placed in the Alpha ruins, but in comparison, these grooves are much larger... If you want to fill them up, even if you use the lowest level of first-level crystals, one The groove also needs to be filled with hundreds of dollars.

What's more, there are a total of [-] such grooves on the circular airtight door. This is just a door, not a battleship engine. If opening the door requires such a large amount of energy crystallization, Ke Lan will only think that it is designed. Playful people have brains.

"It can't be a sensor door, can it?" Ke Lan thought in his heart and walked forward.

The airtight door didn't open directly, but the autonomous mechanical spiders clinging to the wall suddenly moved.

"Huh?" Ke Lan found that these mechanical spiders who wanted to climb to the airtight door were not exactly the same as the ones they saw along the way. There were several "golden fingers" closely arranged on their metal joints.

Of course, the golden finger here does not refer to the cheap plug-ins of many protagonists in online novels, nor is it the cute new gun gesture that is easy to go off, but the common name for the gold-plated conductive contacts exposed at the plug-in electronic device interface. .

Ke Lan had vaguely guessed how to open the round airtight door.

Just as he expected, these sixty mechanical spiders corresponded exactly to the sixty grooves on the door. According to the numbers of the internal chips, they got into each groove, and inserted the metal joints into the grooves at the bottom of the groove. in tiny holes.

"crunch..."

A tooth-piercing sound of friction came from behind the door, and the heavy metal airtight door slowly rolled aside, revealing the entrance in front of Ke Lan's eyes.

This way of opening the door is indeed cool, but it is flashy and full of security risks. As a hacker, Ke Lan has always been full of distrust for electronic devices, especially smart electronic devices.In his view, any program written with 1s and 0s, no matter how meticulous it is, must have loopholes.

There are no programs without loopholes in this world. If there are, it is simply because your level is not high enough to find them.

And the more complex and intelligent a program is, the more loopholes it will have—

Assuming that Ke Lan travels to a zombie novel of the end of the world, and happens to activate a gift pack for beginners, two guns are placed on the wall in front of him for him to choose: one is with a mechanical structure as precise as a watch, integrated with a large gun. The HK-G11 rifle is the essence of German industrial standards, high price, excellent workmanship, epoch-making awareness and advanced design concept; the other is from a regular military factory in Eastern Europe, with few shining points except for its strong leather and grass resistance. Ke Lan would choose the latter without hesitation.

There is no other reason, the mechanism of the former is too precise, too precise means delicate, and the requirements for dustproof and waterproof are extremely high, and its own disassembly and maintenance are very time-consuming, and small parts are easy to be lost and damaged , It’s hard to find a replacement if you lose it...

This is true for physical machines, and the same is true for virtual programs.

Ke Lan, who never stopped complaining in his heart, stepped over the 30 meters high circular door opening and entered the room.

Rather than a room, it would be better to call it a hall...or an underground plaza would be more appropriate.

This is a huge space. Under the illumination of the lights, the farthest Ke Lan can see is only more than 300 meters, but he still doesn't see the other three walls.

And the block behind him also extends into the shadow beyond the reach of eyesight.

In this square, there are countless metal cabinets, and each cabinet is full of hard disks packed in black antimagnetic boxes.

Seeing the hard drive, Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the hundreds of terabytes of treasures he had stored in the hard drive—he used to delete these things and the browser records before every mission, and waited until he was alive to recover from the ruins. After you come back, download it back bit by bit.

"Don't be afraid of being smashed into pieces, you must stay innocent in the world." This poem is not without reason.

There are two ways to die at this time, one is called physical death, and the other is called social death.

But now it seems that the Undead Crew Club should have collected a lot of information about themselves-not to mention those seeds and pictures, I am afraid that this group of guys even know exactly what XP they like.

Thinking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help but blush, but then returned to normal.

As long as you are not embarrassed, then the embarrassing person is someone else, and the most humble person is invincible... The "thickness" in "Thick Heiology" refers to thick-skinned.

Once I accept that I am a hentai, then I am - invincible.

Ke Lan looked around, and he saw many clear steel inscriptions branded on the ground, which was the time when these files were sealed up, and the files on the rows of shelves in front of him were sealed up in the fourth month of the ninth year of the New Era.

Wuhu is actually a file just after the Ark set sail——

Although his heart is itching for these secrets that are so old that they can even be called "ancient", there are more important things for him to come here today... If time and energy are wasted on insignificant things , with the capacity of this archive, I'm afraid he won't be able to read all the files in one corner of the ark until the damaged part of the ark is completely repaired.

In the ninth year of the new era, even the Undead Crew Club hadn't appeared at that time, and the possibility of relevant clues and secrets was basically zero.

Ke Lan walked all the way along the chronological number. For some reason, every time he took a step, he seemed to feel the time that had already passed but was left with a page of silhouette.

The number of files varies from year to year. Years with many events have more files, and years with fewer events have fewer files. But even in the most "leisure" years, there are at least a dozen cabinets file.

Through the labels on the anti-magnetic box, Ke Lan can know that most of these files are data on Ark materials and population changes... In addition, there are a large part of the observation records of the earth and the solar system in the early files, and With the increase of age, these observation records gradually decreased until they completely disappeared in New Era [-].

The people on the ark watched their former homeland—the earth being swallowed up by the aging and expanding sun.

As for why the sun evolved from a yellow dwarf to a red dwarf billions of years in advance, there are different opinions in the academic circles, but there is still no conclusion.

This topic used to be a forum experience package, but with the passage of time, the memory of the earth, the sun and the solar system has gradually faded in the memory of generations, and the popularity of this topic has gradually disappeared like a star approaching the end of its life.

Now it is only occasionally mentioned in astronomy-related forums-for the absolute majority of people on the ark, the sudden decay of the sun is actually not related to "Nuwa mending the sky" and "spiritual energy". There is no difference between stories such as "Wei reclamation" and "Gonggong's anger touches Buzhou Mountain".

As for the disappearance of the official observation records, it is probably because in the [-]th year of the new era, the Ark was far enough away from the solar system, so far away that human observation equipment could no longer see the solar system.

Ke Lan is also very interested in the Ark's voyage records, but if this thing is converted into a file capacity, I am afraid that it must be used as a unit of [-] million terabytes. Even a supercomputer will get stuck when reading these files, let alone a human brain. efficiency.

Sighing, Ke Lan continued to move forward along the chronological order.

About half an hour later, he found an "open space".

Among the surrounding cabinets, this open space about the size of two football fields is particularly conspicuous.

Not only are there no hard drives for storing files, there are not even empty cabinet shelves.

"strangeness?"

Ke Lan looked down at the ground.

According to the numbers on the inscription, the files from the ninth year of the 490th year of the New Era should have been placed in this open space.

But those files are gone.

"This year... this year...!!!" Ke Lan tried hard to recall what happened in 499 of the New Era in his mind, and for a moment, his whole body trembled violently.

The ninth year of 490 in the new era is a year enough to be recorded in the annals of history for the Ark and for mankind.

This year, Ark observed a natural wormhole hidden at the edge of the cantilever of Orion in the Milky Way...Of course, when Ark discovered this wormhole, he could no longer escape the gravitational force of this wormhole...

Fortunately, the Ark finally passed through this wormhole successfully, and successfully reached the extragalactic star field that had never been touched by human vision.

Traveling through the wormhole, the Ark paid a huge price, but fortunately, the human fire still exists.

"Why do all the files in 499 of the New Era disappear? Many things that happened in this year can be found in the public archives. Why are there none here?" Ke Lan was full of doubts.

This is not reasonable.

He walked back and forth in the open space, and found a new doubt.

In this open space, there are holes reserved for bolts, and those bolts are used to fix the metal cabinet racks where the hard drives are placed.

There used to be rows of cabinets here, and the cabinets might also be filled with black antimagnetic boxes.

But now, they have been transferred.

[PS Spring is here, and it’s the season for animals to breed... Uh, I’m sorry, I misunderstood the word, it should be spring, and it’s a good time to go on a youth tour, just in time for the May Day holiday. The author plans to go out with friends tomorrow Go for an outing, go out to the next county in the morning, and it will probably be midnight when you get home, so I won’t update it. I’ll ask everyone here for a vacation.

It happened that the side effects of tenosynovitis and finger numbness were a bit severe in the past two days, so I just let my fingers rest.

I also wish everyone a happy May Day holiday, but when you go out to breathe fresh air, please be careful of the epidemic and pay attention to safety. 】
