Daozu is Cthulhu

The man opened his eyes.

His name is Zhang Ling, an 'Earthling', of course he is an Earthling, but he was actually born on a super-border Earth beyond number 1000, a country bumpkin in the standard sense.Moreover, he was the illegitimate child created by a company executive on a whim when he was traveling in another world.

Of course, his "illegitimate child from a different world" is not entitled to the loan from the family fund, but he finally has no worries about food and drink, and has obtained citizenship after serving in the military. Now his consciousness is uploaded to the quantum network to work for the "family business". It can be regarded as a small cadre at the department head level.

The original body was left in a different world to open up wasteland, and by the way, it was rented out to the big bosses on the virtual network to earn some extra money. Taking risks, growing vegetables, and removing pests, it can be regarded as a small net celebrity earning some extra money.

But this is Zhang Ling's first visit to Parallel Earth 001, 'Zhuanxu'.

Or it should be said that this is the first time he has actually connected to the subnet of the 001 plane, using the feet of the organic vehicle, standing on the observation floor of the orbital elevator from the starship cabin, overlooking the scenery under his feet.

In the dark deep space of the universe, there is a spherical celestial body that is darker than the void, like a gravitational black hole.Looking from a distance, it is an endless and smooth surface, like a polished black ceramic sphere, and the surface of the sphere seems to be an ocean without waves.

And in the dark ocean, faintly, like a lighthouse, dotted with many faint stars.Of course, those are not starlight, nor are they real lighthouses, but star cities built on the spherical surface.

These colonial star cities shoot out bright fireworks like alcohol blowtorches, but the lights spread out, as if absorbed by the boundless dark 'ocean'.

Of course, Zhang Ling already has a good understanding of 'Zhuanxu' through the documentary and quantum video experience on the Internet.

That is of course not a real ocean, but an artificial polymer material, a huge curtain, a photovoltaic film or, say, a solar sail.

And those 'lighthouse' star cities are the connection points between the solar sails, taking on the functions of the colony, the power station solar sail link maintenance point and the network server, connecting the star city with hundreds of millions of solar sails, enveloping the stars, To collect energy perfectly without emitting any light, this is 'Zhuanxu'.

In a word, this is the first and possibly the only Dyson sphere in the history of human civilization.

As for the collected star, it is naturally 001 Sun.

A long time ago, when human beings were in the era of legion rule, the most mainstream technologies were space colonization, interstellar travel, and wormhole travel.What everyone is talking about is not the virtual network, but the age of stars and seas.

The earth of this parallel plane 001, as the first world colonized through wormholes, was planned by the legion as the capital of the multi-dimensional human universe empire. The new capital and base camp of the legion were established here, and a huge wormhole star gate was prepared. As a transit station for conquering the multiverse.The sun of the earth 001 is also planned to start the long-term construction of the Dyson sphere.

Only later, with the loss of control of wormhole technology, one-third of the Legion's fleet was lost in the void, and then a world war and an omnic rebellion broke out.After the bloody war, the Legion was destroyed, Earth 001 was destroyed, the wormhole star gate was destroyed, and the Dyson sphere stopped working.

It wasn't until the end of the war that the remnants of the legion were expelled to the corners of civilization and the edge of the universe, finally a company took over the project and completed the construction of 'Zhuanxu'.Build Parallel Earth 001 as one of the central servers of the quantum network public security system, and 'Zhuanxu' is the battery and server host.

"Purpose."

The puppet from the public security system connected to Zhang Ling's system, automatically took over the authority of the organic vehicle, and began to scan his system's security logs and potential threats.

"interview."

When Zhang Ling served as a citizen, he worked in the Public Security Bureau and knew that this was a process.

After all, in order to protect the safety of 'Zhuanxu', there are hundreds of thousands of warships and railguns lurking in the universe recently, and UFOs that enter the asteroid belt without permission will be directly destroyed.

The organic vehicles of the 001 plane also stay in the space station outside the circle on standby, and regularly accept the highest standard biochemical inspections of the sixth and ninth offices. There is no biochemical crisis, and there is no possibility of physical access hacking attacks. possible.

And his intelligent system wants to connect to the earth's 001 subnet, and it has already passed an unknown number of screening and audits. As long as there are hidden golems, their brains have long been burned by the firewall.

"login permission"

After only three seconds of review, Zhang Ling regained control of the organic vehicle, and then he walked into the orbital elevator under the guidance of the system, and jumped down into the boundless darkness.

The nanoworms around the vehicle form a bubble-like isolation layer, facing the traction of the guiding light beam, they fall from the outer star track and fly to those 'lighthouses'.

Each of these satellite cities is an office building rented by a company.Although cold fusion batteries are already in civilian use in this day and age, and Dyson spheres may not be very efficient, the meaning of 'Zhuanxu' itself is extraordinary, and it is basically a spectacle building that surpasses the technological and economic value of the times.

Therefore, any well-known company likes to rent an office on the tombstone of this legion, enjoy the glory of victory, and experience the thrill of conquering the sun.

"Executive."

Zhang Ling flew directly into the company's office, and under the guidance of the system, he met his interviewer, the company's CEO, and his genetic father Zhang Jian.

Of course, neither of them was using the Gene Ontology at this time, and in front of them was a cloning vehicle remotely controlled by the executive officer.

And Zhang Jian didn't intend to reminisce about the old days with one of his countless 'sons'. Although the other party did have such a small relationship after screening, it was not the main reason for the other party to appear in front of him.

"You used to serve in the Security Service?"

Noticing that the system has been shut down frequently after entering the company building, Zhang Ling also knows that his father spent a lot of money to bring him here to meet with 'Zhuanxu', not to reminisce about the past, nor to chat with him.

"Tenth-level investigators everywhere. However, after retiring from the army, all the memories related to the mission have been removed."

"Four places, Counterintelligence Investigation Office...So that's the case, it's appropriate..."

Zhang Ling does know that although Zhang Jian is the chief executive officer of the company, he is still a big housekeeper. Know what you are doing.

But looking at it this way, it's not that this 'father' wants to promote himself on a sudden whim, he doesn't care about how his 'illegitimate son from another world' is doing.That profile should have been selected by the board of directors, and he had specially arranged for his 'father' to provide support. With the style of the company, he probably encountered quite troublesome things...

"It seems that you know it well. This time, the company has a difficult matter to entrust to you. I hope you can use your professional skills to solve the trouble."

Zhang Jian took out a crystal ball, which contained some kind of purple-blue lightning arc, which looked like a plasma light ball toy.

Zhang Ling's pupils constricted suddenly. Although he 'couldn't remember' because of the frequent shutdown of his mission memory, he could still 'recognize' when he saw it.

This is something obtained by transforming the human brain from a solid state into an ion state through surgery. To put it simply, it is a 'plasma hard disk'.

The biggest function of this 'hard disk' is to pass the 'door'.

The 'gate', or 'boundary membrane', is the most advanced scientific research field. Simply put, the 'gate' is the scientific world, and the 'gate' is the non-scientific world.

Although the parallel planes on the same side of the 'gate' can be reached through various FTL navigations such as wormhole jumps, the current technology is still unable to send living people to the other side of the 'gate'.

So at present, the drones are dispatched first, and the quantum communication satellites are established on the other side of the 'gate', and the organic vehicles are used after establishing a stable quantum network.

However, there is also a new technology, which is to directly transform the personality consciousness into an ion state and project it to the other side of the 'gate' without relying on quantum communication.

The advantage of doing this is naturally economical efficiency, convenience and quickness. It can directly transform people into ionized states and project them into different worlds, so it doesn’t take centuries to send robots to build communication satellites and clone vehicle factories. With development value, these investments are all in vain.

Of course, this technology is still very, very unstable, with extremely limited use, and it is far from being practical.After all, there must at least be a device on the 'gate' to restore the ionized human to a solid state, right?

And according to the current experiment, after passing through the 'door', the personality will be fragmented, and it is almost impossible to restore self-awareness.It can only be used to analyze the information in the memory fragments, and it seems to be in some kind of tragic torture forever, so it can be used as a collection.

As for the ball in his hand, he specially spent money to project it to 001, that is to say, is it the world on the other side of the 'gate'?

"What did he do? Corruption?" Zhang Ling stared at the plasma ball.

"She is the acting manager of Frontier Assets 49327. People from other factions, I don't know what she did. Anyway, she made a mess there and turned it into a non-performing asset. The board of directors entrusted me to take care of the finishing and roll call You come to investigate, that’s fine, I’ll give you two upgrades to become a regional manager, investigate, and if there is any problem, just deal with it. If you can’t solve it, just report to me.”

When Zhang Ling heard this, his head grew dizzy, and the board of directors spoke directly, asking them "father and son" to investigate people from other factions. Isn't that suspected of internal fighting in the board of directors?If things go wrong, wouldn't he end up the same as the ion ball in his hand?and……

"49327!? What kind of plane is this! It's too far away even across the door... Isn't this beyond the limit of the parallel universe observation system? Quantum networks will be delayed..."

Zhang Jian also found this troublesome.

"The fringe star field bought at a low price from the ethics committee is probably haunted by the remnants of the legion. Hmph, purchasing, I like to be greedy for such petty gains.

Are you not a spy?Go play your expertise.I'll transfer you back when the non-performing assets issue is resolved, and go to work if there are no other problems. "

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Jian walked to the office window and looked at the red sun under his feet.

Zhang Ling frowned and thought for a while, "You asked me to come to 'Zhuanxu' specifically for the bad assets on the border? What's the matter with these cockroaches in the Legion? Do you want to find out something else? Like commercial espionage or something?"

Zhang Jian sneered, "You don't need to worry about this, a new round of corporate war is about to start, and many people must take this opportunity to donate money and steal secrets to quit.

So just in case, you should go to the chain on 'Zhuanxu' and directly link to 49327, so as not to be burned by some 'hacker' when you go out. "

Zhang Ling also knew that he had no room to refuse, so he simply agreed. Anyway, he, a bumpkin, was used to staying away from big cities.And it's still a promotion and salary increase, isn't it?If you can handle this matter well, you may be favored by the board of directors, and you may not be promoted to an executive in the future.

So Zhang Ling took the ion ball to the company office on the bottom floor, found a low-performing employee from the list of local employees and fired him, then cleared his memory, loaded it into the memory in the ion ball, and confirmed that there was no virus puppet in it, and then Filter out useful information.

"Is it a paradise with the theme of cultivating immortals? Oh, it's actually a theme of Gongdou... Is it really a legion... Octopus Head Sergeant..."

Zhang Ling repeatedly watched the memory clips, and the frontier asset 49327 was probably a playground in the style of classical fairy tales.This employee played a role like the empress dowager to maintain order, but was inexplicably assassinated by the hackers of the legion.

The logic of the matter was quite simple, but Zhang Ling felt something was wrong.

Although he cleared the mission memory after retiring from the army, his professional skills are still there. The information analyzed from the damaged chip is that the employees of this company were restricted for some reason, and then contacted the Legion to try to escape. Use the golem to burn the mind and kill.

But why is the authority restricted?Why run away?Why did the legion provoke the company?
The Legion has been lingering in the multiverse, evading the pursuit of the security system, and finding a fringe world to survive and hide, isn't it good?Why take the initiative to cause trouble?Also deal with the people who took refuge in themselves?Why does a mere sergeant have such authority?Is there such a technique?
Zhang Ling couldn't figure it out for a while, so he recorded it in the system and analyzed it slowly.

But no matter what, go there yourself.

So Zhang Ling lay down in the ecological cabin, connected to the quantum network, and closed his eyes.

Link into 49327.

The man opened his eyes.

His name is Zhang Ling, an 'Earthman'. Of course, he is an Earthman who was actually born on a super-border Earth outside the number 1000. He is a country bumpkin in the standard sense.

This is Zhang Ling's first visit to Parallel Earth 001, 'Zhuanxu'.

Of course, he already has a good understanding of 'Zhuanxu' through the documentary on the Internet and the experience of quantum telecasting...

Countless light-years away, in the orbit of another sun.

When a giant aircraft carrier unfurls its solar sails, the thrust and gravitational force of the solar wind cancel each other out, hiding in the haze of stars.

Inside the company's aircraft carrier, in the organic clone ecological cabin, lay a man in a deep sleep.

The man is a battle clone with the same face as 'Zhang Ling', the company's frontier assets, the title of regional manager with the highest authority of 49327, and the physical strength of an immortal emperor.

At this time, a star-like human figure, like light and shadow, swims like a succubus projected from a different space, standing beside the ecological cabin, stretching out five fingers to cover the face of the clone vehicle.At the same time, he pinched the formula to gather Qi, gathering the surrounding dust and breath, forming a gray-white shell like sandstorm.

Then the figure maintained the cover of the palm, split the dusty body, the head gradually grew the facial features of "Zhang Ling", the neck grew the palm, and the spider crawled out like a spider, through the fingerprints and fingerprints in the cabin. The iris authentication directly landed on the captain's seat of the company's mothership, took control of the mothership, and sent a report to the company on its safe arrival.

And the headless body skin bag unfolded like a spider, encircling and sealing the hibernation cabin, and the white wind-sand-like body turned into a gray-white fluid as thick as glue and as fine as spider silk, firmly trapping the hibernation cabin and the clones inside. , forming a huge silk cocoon.

After finishing these things, at the bottom of the Black Bamboo Mountain, in the True Sun Temple, surrounded by overlapping lanterns and flags, the young man in white and black, heaved a long sigh of relief, and opened his eyes, which were as black as ink and empty. eyes.

After ten years of hard work and preparations, Li Fan finally managed to avoid any danger, and temporarily sealed one of the biggest hidden dangers in the Tai Chi world in his infancy.
