"Declaration of war?" Xu Yan and Shen Changwen's minds were still frozen because they had just returned.

Xu Yan almost subconsciously let out a strange cry: "Are we aliens? Have these people been beaten by other aliens? We beat them when they meet?!"

Then he couldn't help looking at Wu Xiaoqing: "Why don't we hurry back to Earth now! Teleport back to Earth!"

The search and rescue team reassured Xu Yan: "Don't worry for now, the laser has just been launched, and there are still 15 minutes to get here... In space, this is a relatively inefficient weapon, and we have already begun to avoid it."

Shen Changwen's consciousness has just recovered a bit, and he is still thinking about the speech: "Is it something we said that offended them, or did they misunderstand us?"

Wu Xiaoqing was watching the video they saved before, especially the time before Shen Changwen and the others "disconnected": "It's not like... If it was a misunderstanding, so many people asked questions, they should have said it long ago."

"Maybe these people are trustees?" Yevgeny guessed, "Maybe they just couldn't tolerate our appearance, or, from the beginning to the end, they believed that we were sent by the intelligence body, and it was them." enemy."

"Then why do we still need to bring us into the virtual world?" Wu Xiaoqing said, "According to our original plan, we are planning to go to their planet by spaceship. If they treat us as enemies, isn't the best strategy?" Should it be tricky? At the very least, wait until our spaceship approaches their planet before doing it..."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqing himself was a little lost, and asked the search and rescue team again: "Our current state... Are you sure it is safe? The other party may have some secret weapon... We appeared here through teleportation , They don't know this, won't the transmission mechanism be interfered by them?"

"If they can interfere with the teleportation, it means that they themselves have the ability to teleport - then the current war situation between the two sides will not be what it is now, and they need to attack one by one along the ecliptic plane of the galaxy..."

"Is there no accident?" Mr. Wu Xiaoqing was still a little worried, "In short, it's better to be cautious... Let's let the spaceship leave the galaxy first—at least within the effective range of the opponent's weapon."

"It's impossible to go out of the effective range," the search and rescue team did not change their minds. "In an environment like space, laser weapons do not have attenuation. As long as they are within the visible range, they can strike. Keeping evasive actions is enough."

Shen Changwen had basically come to his senses at this time, and like Wu Xiaoqing, he began to look back at the video before they finally left. There is one very important detail worth noting—before their accident, someone had tipped them off .

In fact, it is not difficult to guess who this person is. In the entire federation, they only know these few people. The second consul is just a one-sided meeting and a brief chat with each other.

Only one person would remind them of this—the Changxing they had rescued, and Changxing was indeed there at the time.The biggest question now is, why did Changxing give them such a reminder—run? !Where are you going?Is there any point in running?

In fact, in just a dozen seconds after seeing this word, they disconnected from the game.This kind of virtual connection is inherently fragile. When maintaining the connection state, the spacecraft needs to remain still. As long as there is a slight deviation, the connection will be interrupted-this is why the search and rescue team is not afraid of laser weapons. .

The huge space in the universe is too impractical for direct-pointing weapons like lasers.

It can be said that they were outside the control of the Federation from the beginning to the end. Changxing obviously knew this, but he still sent the word "run".

"Could it be a linguistic problem?" Yevgeny said, "The other party's understanding of the meaning of the Chinese characters may not be accurate, maybe it is to remind our spaceship to avoid danger."

"No," the search and rescue team said with certainty, "They are a race that is very sensitive to movements. In their writing, there are hundreds of different escape gestures... I can conclude that, He wrote this word to let us directly take corresponding actions, it is very clear to run, not escape, hide and other words..."

"Since we are told to run, it must mean that we are in danger of being trapped, but we haven't pulled anything down?" Wu Xiaoqing shook his head, and finally gave up on this issue, "By the way, Zhiti's side Did you reply?"

"Not yet," said the search and rescue team, "but I believe there will be soon. Send you back to Earth first, and I will call you if there is a situation."

……

The search and rescue team needs to watch over there. Wu Xiaoqing can only handle the affairs of the entire earth by himself.

The first thing Wu Xiaoqing paid attention to was the news about the game team.Qinglan Consulting has sent invitations to several game planning teams, and the search and rescue team has had preliminary contact with three of them, and the two sides are still discussing the technical feasibility... Chen She is in charge of this matter.

Wu Xiaoqing doesn’t need to ask about the details, but he still needs to sign the money as usual. The fund operation account over there.

The consultation meeting has also started. Regarding the dwarven civilization in this mission, the research on this civilization is based on the gimmick of the above game. It is called an exclusive setting team, but it is actually different from all previous missions The same, is to find a lot of experts to provide a lot of opinions.

Of course, most of them are nonsense, but as long as there is one sentence in a hundred nonsense that can help the mission, their investment will not be considered a loss.

Wu Xiaoqing is now trying to carry out such screening work.

The host made a speech: "I would like to ask all the participants to pay attention to such a high-tech civilization. Their internal morality should be completely different from ours. They should not be speculated on the basis of the existing morality on the earth. In previous meetings, some people always It is impossible to say that such a world can be established, because their bodies are too small and their brains are too small to form civilization."

"Here I want to emphasize one point. The premise of our meeting is to admit that this is already a fact, and then seek a reasonable explanation on this basis..." The feeling of speaking was quite familiar. Wu Xiaoqing looked at the name of the host in front of the report, It really was Rao Xin.Wu Xiaoqing glanced out of the office again, and Rao Xin wasn't there... To be honest, Wu Xiaoqing still really wants to talk to him now.

Speech No. 25: "I noticed a detail. There is a relatively obvious difference in physical appearance between the female and the male of the other party. The male seems to be smaller than the female. This may be related to their living habits of living in underground caves..." This is the most standard nonsense, it makes sense, but it has almost nothing to do with the task, but you still can't say it's wrong, the company still has to pay for such nonsense.

Speech No. 14: "The social organization of this squirrel-type civilization will definitely be tighter than that of humans, because the limited underground space requires mutual tolerance..." It's still nonsense.

Speech No. 2: "The currency system in the virtual world can refer to the production mechanism of Bitcoin..." This kind of is self-made, and the next meeting will be directly tucked away, and the speculation of coins will come to the aliens.

Speech No. 19: "The concept of digitization of consciousness actually does not conflict with the essence of AI..."

look!That's what it's worth!

Wu Xiaoqing immediately read on intently: "If it is true as stated in the setting, AI has developed to the point where it can be assembled into a brain-like existence that surpasses the original carbon-based organisms, then for carbon-based organisms, would you like to The most effective way to be eliminated by the opponent is to learn the life form of the opponent."

"According to this idea, the digitization of consciousness, in essence, is to convert the physical structure formed by the natural evolution of the human brain into a computer data structure in a certain pattern... It is still the same in essence, but it has changed. It’s another way of life.”

The only pity is that the point is so far that there is no further in-depth discussion on this topic.But this is also the case. Wu Xiaoqing marked the end of the report, especially drew a circle on the digitization of consciousness, and added a few words-open a special topic.

The office door was knocked several times at this time, Wu Xiaoqing raised his head, and saw that it was Rao Xin he had just thought of.After entering, Rao Xin took out a leave note: "About the blind date..."

"Blind date again?" Wu Xiaoqing smiled, "What method are you going to use this time?"

"No, a formal blind date. It was arranged by my family," Rao Xin said. "The company has nothing to do recently... Manager Chen asked me to come and ask."

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head: "It's really not possible now... There is something going on right now." After finishing speaking, he pushed the report in his hand to the other party, "When will this meeting be held?"｜

"The meeting yesterday afternoon..." Rao Xin glanced at Wu Xiaoqing's comment, "It was a remote meeting, and on the 19th was a Chinese student studying in Japan."

Wu Xiaoqing was surprised: "Our company's business has gone to Japan?"

"There are... recruiters from all over the world," Rao Xin said, "Mr. Wu doesn't care about the specific business, he probably doesn't know about it. Now the entire international student circle knows that we have Qinglan Consulting, and they like it to earn extra money. It's interesting. , it doesn’t take up time, and the name is nice... The key is that there is a lot of money.”

"Our company also likes international students. They have a wide network of contacts and active thinking. The key is... the price is also low, much lower than their teachers, but their opinions are similar. Professor Shen said that hiring them is equivalent to hiring their teachers. gone."

The search and rescue team also told Wu Xiaoqing that the reason is very simple. After the students get the topic, they will definitely consult the teacher for relevant information in advance. For the extra money, the knowledge was imported from the teachers and sold directly to their consulting companies.

"If there is a lack of people on this topic, you can even consider inviting his teacher." At this point, Wu Xiaoqing suddenly remembered the idea of ​​wanting to chat with Rao Xin just now. After thinking about it, he probably determined the confidentiality of the conversation and The way of speaking, I still decided to say, "There is still a small problem, mine... you just treat it as a detective novel reasoning, there is no standard answer, the technical background is like this..."

"Run?" After listening to the whole story, Rao Xin laughed, "Maybe this is to scare you, and the purpose of singing a play with the government is to scare these aliens away. When Europeans went to America Back in the mainland, if those natives had ignored them and resisted with all their might... Maybe there wouldn’t have been so many troubles later.”

"A civilization can actively find each other without the other party's knowledge, which in itself shows that there is a technological gap between the two sides, and it is normal for them to have fear. Now if there are aliens coming to the earth in a spaceship, I guess we will try If we do this, we can’t do it with laser weapons, but we can still do it with some nuclear warheads as fireworks.”
