In the Earth standard year AD 2184, the Enceladus base accepted the commission from the "Immigration Alliance" and the space agency hosted the second deep space exploration.

The accident of the "Jiyang" occurred during this deep space exploration. Later, Catherine died for her husband Jin Fan. Public opinion in the human society was aroused, causing the base to suspend all operations related to deep space exploration and only concentrate on the management of the Earth-Municorn II class.

Earth satellite reconstruction project.

Two centuries have passed, and the human sphere has made no further progress within the orbit of Saturn. It is content with a self-sufficient and luxurious life, and few people want to fly out of the solar system until the year 2399.

Although the display of the deep space information receiver has changed from an LCD screen to a crystal screen, and from holographic projection to today's particle waterfall, it has maintained irregular fluctuations for two hundred years.

Deep space signal monitoring originally occupied nearly 3% of the host's memory. With the continuous improvement of supercomputer capabilities, monitoring and analyzing trillions of messy signals floating in outer space now requires only one ten thousandth of the effort of a supercomputer.

Supercomputing has a so-called seamless firewall, and any external attack will be blocked by its "high walls and deep trenches". However, at this moment, the dazzling red light flashed on and off rapidly, and the artificial intelligence immediately warned the supercomputing personnel.

Supercomputing engineers arrived quickly, but the alarm was unexpectedly lifted. When everyone focused on the firewall, the particle waterfall of the deep space information receiver was rippled.

The artificial intelligence immediately captured and stored this set of deep space signals, then immediately alerted the engineer at the firewall and cooperated with him to decipher the signals.

The signal comes from the direction of the Horsehead Nebula 1,500 light-years away. It is a set of computer languages ​​​​of human civilization. The source calls himself a "waif" and the content is very concise:

I'm on V star.

Such a major incident was immediately tightly controlled by the space agency and reported to the base secretly.

The top brass of the base were extremely shocked. After discussion, it was found that the source of the signal was most likely the "disintegrated" Jiyang. Star V was an Earth-like planet targeted for deep space exploration that year. Since Jiyang successfully reached Star V, with its current

With aerospace technology, it is not difficult to find the V star again.

On the one hand, the base ordered the space agency to immediately carry out preparatory work; on the other hand, it took the rescue of "waifs" as an opportunity to create public opinion in society and rekindle public enthusiasm for outer space exploration.

The third deep space exploration was divided into three directions. Two batches were set off for the same goal. As the first batch, Yongle jumped directly out of the solar system with the help of the huge gravitational slingshot of Jupiter and accurately passed through the wormhole after 75 years of navigation.

, arrived at the target star field 36.75 seconds later, and sailed for another 56 years to finally reach the outskirts of Star V.

However, something unexpected happened at this time.

As early as the space agency was preparing the starship, a small accident occurred on the Yongle.

At that time, the host dropped offline for about half a second. Since the cause could not be found and there were no follow-up problems, the engineer who was afraid of blame chose to turn a blind eye and recorded the disconnection as a probabilistic event and covered it up.

past.

In less than half a second, a specific computer virus successfully sneaked into the monitoring blind spot of the Yongle host and hid itself deeply.

When Murphy, the bionic intelligence of the Anti-Colonial Front, attempted to tamper with the Yongle starship's navigation path and shut down the firewall, the latent virus suddenly broke out and occupied the Yongle's mainframe.

The holographic projection with glowing blue light shows a forest with dense vegetation. The Yongle escape cabin "fights a bloody path" among the trees. Captain Nipomocheno is recording using the chip built into the badge and the retinal camera.

"When the woman connected with me to read her consciousness, as the captain's privilege, I also read part of her data. Not only did I know that Murphy was an insider of the Anti-Colonial Front, but I also knew that she was lurking in the Yongle.

It's been a long time, but hey, compared to the time she spent lurking in the base host, it pales into insignificance!"

"Unbelievable!" The picture swayed and rose in front of a tree full of branches. Nipomocheno was climbing up. He was recording while climbing, and his tone could not tell whether he was in admiration or surprise. "She is actually Catherine.

gold!"

"Her theory of 'trajectory of consciousness' is all bullshit. She is a bionic intelligent engineer, a great person, and also a lunatic. She was bold enough to digitize her own biological consciousness into a computer. The result was of course a success.

Already."

"But in my personal opinion, a copy can never replace the original. Catherine King was already dead at the moment of digitization. The copy of the string of numbers on the Yongle, damn, who knows what it is!"

"I saw in her surface consciousness that she has been lurking in the macro garbage dump of the base's supercomputer. The signal to activate her is 'I am on Planet V'."

"The Yongle's disconnection half a second before departure was because she was invading. Xiao Lu was covered by her, Xiao Hong was formatted by her, Scarlett's consciousness was permanently deleted, and she was reverse-digitized and became a living person, which was also successful.

I really admire it.”

"With her ability, I wouldn't have been able to read so much information. Maybe she was too emotional after returning to her body hundreds of years later, or maybe she already had the victory in hand and didn't bother to leak the secret. In short, she was going to

Find Jin Fan!"

As he was about to climb to the crown of the tree, the branches seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the captain and began to squeak in pain.

"'I am on Planet V' was sent by Jin Fan."

"There is indeed an inexplicable superconscious connection between them. How else could we explain that a set of ordinary computer languages ​​could activate Catherine lurking in the macro garbage dump?"

"As for where Jin Fan is hiding in Purple Star, I don't know. The real mission of our trip is to find Jin Fan as soon as possible. God knows if that old woman will be harmful to Jin Fan!"

Nipomocheno could not climb any higher. The branches and leaves were already sparse at this height. His vision extended in all directions, and finally locked on a faint smoke in the distance.

Then the scene was in chaos. When it stabilized again, he had jumped to the ground and strode towards the direction of the smoke.

"I have made three sets of emergency plans. I really did not expect this situation to happen. If something unexpected happens to me, the person who accepts my authorization must first ensure the personal safety of all team members. I will not allow anyone to fall behind. This is the starting point.

We have emphasized this repeatedly before!”

"Secondly, we must find ways to complete the mission of finding Jin Fan, find him, and bring him back to the base."

"Don't worry about not being able to return home. It's easy to dodge open fire and hard to guard against hidden arrows. As long as you don't die, the second expedition team will arrive soon!"
Chapter completed!
