We Live In Nanjing - Chapter 151

Forsythia realized that Bai Yang’s mood had changed significantly, it was on New Year’s Day.

In the early morning, the two went out for a run and circled around the Crescent Lake. The temperature in the morning was below zero, the air was clear and cold, and the forsythia was also wrapped in a wool scarf, but the upper body was a dark fleece turtleneck and the lower body was sports pants. , is still as capable. According to Forsythia, she has to keep her body flexible and agile, so she can’t wrap herself in a Michelin tire.

Bai Yang only thought that she was showing off her figure, after all, this sister’s figure is really good.

The morning exercise every morning is the main communication time between the two. As a counselor, Forsythia asks Bai Yang to tell herself all the ideological activities of the whole day yesterday, including the night, including dreams. Forsythia says she can help interpret dreams, but she is afraid that she is a philistine. A master of Lloyd’s dream interpretation, no matter what Bai Yang dreams of, she can interpret it as youthful restlessness, and no matter what intentions can involve gender consciousness.

Topol said that he dreamed of a huge black moon falling from the sky. Forsythia said solemnly that a big moon is a big ball, and a big ball is a big cup. Face your desires, boy.

Forsythia also asked Bai Yang about the frequency of recent handicraft work. She said that the frequency and time of male handicraft work is as important as the female physiological period, and it can reflect the physical and mental health related conditions. Rich doctor, but when Bai Yang answered her hesitantly, Forsythia covered her stomach and laughed.

At this time, Bai Yang came back to his senses and was molested again.

“Tired?” Forsythia estimated the distance she had run, climbed to the observation deck by the lake and sat down, patted the seat beside her, “Sit down and have a rest.”

Aspen sat down panting, looking forward to the quiet dark lake. .

“Today is New Year’s Day, Happy New Year.” Forsythia said suddenly.

Bai Yang froze for a moment, “Happy New Year to you too.”

“Remember to wish her a Happy New Year when you go back in the evening.” Forsythia reminded, “Will you sing that song? Andy Lau, Zhang Weijian and the others sang, bless you, in every day, always colorful…”

She couldn’t remember the lyrics herself, so she could only hum the tune.

“What era is this song?” Bai Yang frowned.

“Have you never heard of it?” Forsythia hummed two more words, “The spring breeze blows the mountains and flowers for you, and the autumn moon accompanies you in the sky for thousands of miles, letting the splendid nights seep into the sweet dreams, and the frost in winter will not come.”

“I haven’t heard it before.” Bai Yang yawned, “The song you listen to must be older than me, my dad and the others should be familiar with it.”

“What’s wrong with old songs? Old songs are time-tested classics.” Forsythia changed the subject, “You yawn, what time did you fall asleep last night?”

“Two o’clock.”

“This can’t be done.” Forsythia turned to hold Topol’s cheek with his hands, fixed his head, and then looked closely into his eyes, “Long-term insomnia, lethargy, it is difficult to keep working condition.”

“Tell them this, Uncle Zhao and the others have less time to rest than me.” Bai Yang blocked her hand, “The workload is more intense than me.”

“But I don’t need to be responsible for them.” Forsythia said seriously, “I only need to be responsible for you. Have you tried the method I taught you?”

“Tried it.”

“Still like this?”

“It’s still the same.” Bai Yang nodded.

“Do you need me to make a doctor’s appointment for you?” Forsythia asked.

“Do you think the doctor will work?”

Forsythia was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, patted Bai Yang on the shoulder, and squeezed out a bright smile: “Cheer up! There must be a way for the car to the front of the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Our plan is in Proceed in an orderly manner, you can’t lose the chain at this time, Comrade Bai Yang, the core of the team!”

“Uncle Zhao and the others are responsible to their superiors, you are responsible to me, then who am I responsible to?” Bai Yang said.

You are responsible to Miss.

Someone answered that.

Bai Yang turned his head abruptly and found that Forsythia was thinking, it wasn’t her who was talking just now.

Bai Yang raised his hand and grabbed his hair. He suddenly felt a pain in the back of his brain, and said in a low voice, “Am I responsible for Miss?”

“Well… it’s okay to say that, you are indeed responsible for her…” Forsythia nodded, but before she could finish speaking, she met the other’s gaze, and there seemed to be a deep well at the bottom of the well. The cold, bottomless water made Forsythia secretly surprised. It was hard to imagine why a senior high school student would have such eyes. Those eyes were clearly suspicious and scrutinizing. It seemed to say: You can really treat her Responsible? Do you really want to take responsibility for her?

Forsythia realized that Bai Yang’s suspicion was not a day or two. When the whole team was screaming with blood, this young man was sitting in the center of the storm, but he seemed to be unaffected and unaffected. Although it was only separated by a wall, the living room and bedroom The atmosphere is completely different, the living room is serious, bright, tense and orderly, while the bedroom is worried, dark, cold and depressed. Forsythia tries hard to pull Bai Yang out of the darkness, but she is always unaware of Bai Yang’s problems. How to answer.

Topol asked her: Are we taking advantage of her?

Forsythia says you have to believe that we are saving her.

Topol asked again: Who is saving whom?

He coldly watched the work of the people around him, and faced the common problems of everyone with a completely different attitude. As for what he was thinking, Forsythia didn’t know, it was difficult for her to put herself in Bai Yang’s position and angle. Thinking about it, this young high school senior is facing an unprecedented situation in human history. Every time he sits silently in the dark bedroom, Forsythia always feels that he can’t see through him.

But he is clearly just a young high school senior, he is only eighteen years old – what has this great change in life brought him?

·

·

·

As a counselor, Forsythia is powerless to pull Bai Yang out of such a quagmire. She thinks that no one else can do it. Bai Yang is strong enough and protected well enough. If you change someone else, she may have a nervous breakdown.

Forsythia could only watch the poplar sink deeper and deeper until it was completely engulfed on this day – BG4MSR returned to Plum Blossom Villa ahead of schedule at 8 pm on January 3rd.

Topol was surprised, but the surprise quickly turned into surprise, and then into panic.

“Why did you come back? Did the nuclear bomb detonate successfully? Now… Plum Blossom Villa is not safe now…”

“Listen to me, BG, listen to me.” The girl panted, “I don’t know how long it will take, I’m going to go up and tie the Yagi antenna to the radio, switch the radio to the satellite signal, you can receive the satellite signal Right? It’s the relay star, test whether the link is smooth.”

“Wait… what are you talking about? What are you talking about?”

Bai Yang was stunned.

What is this guy saying?

The other party sighed, was silent for a few seconds, and said softly:

“BG, Bai Yang, the plan was successful and the nuclear bomb was detonated. Next, I will go to the first base to help you retrieve all the stored data and complete the ultimate goal of the operation.”

“No…you don’t have to be in such a hurry, you can’t come back, you should stay in the safe zone for a full week…”

“There is no time.”

said the girl.

“I…I don’t understand, Miss, what’s the situation on your side? Tell us what happened, and the command will make an action plan for you.”

“Stop talking nonsense, the nuclear bomb did detonate successfully, but the bad thing is that killing one attracted a large group, and they will soon land in Nanjing, and once they land, it will never be possible to retrieve the data of the first base, I’m not sure how much time I have left, listen up, I’m going to execute the plan now, I’m going to switch the radio signal next, there will be a period of silence, but soon you will receive the data, can you understand? If you understand Just answer me.”

The girl’s voice was fast and urgent, and she finished her sentence like a bean.

“clear.”

“Don’t worry, I’m running, I’m running to the Zitai office building, trust me, I’m running very fast… One hour, at most one hour, you can receive the data.”

“No no no no no!” Bai Yang shouted, “You can’t go! It’s not safe! It’s not safe!”

also yelled:

“I’m not going to you! If you don’t go, shut up!”

Bai Yang was dumbfounded.

He sat on the chair dumbly, almost unable to hold the hand microphone.

The girl suddenly became hysterical.

“Think about it for me too, BG.” Banxia’s voice slowly lowered, “I escaped halfway and turned back, but what can I do? If you are the only one left in this world, then you If you don’t do it, no one will do it…Wait for me an hour, at most two hours, and I’m running, you know I’m running fast.”

“You don’t have this responsibility.” Bai Yang’s voice was trembling, “Flee, don’t worry about these things, the farther you escape, the better…”

“But I want to save you.”

The connection was interrupted, so Pinellia switched the radio signal. She tied her hand to the Yagi antenna on the roof of the roof, and pre-tuned the Icom725 radio to receive satellite signals.

She and the headquarters have rehearsed these action plans many times, and they are familiar with it. Obviously, Pinellia thinks that she has no time to return to Meihua Villa after arriving at the first base and then turn on the satellite reception link, so she can only leave the platform before departure. On the roof, switch the radio to the satellite signal reception mode in advance, which is convenient, but it will also lead to loss of contact.

Command frying pan.

A thunderstorm blew up the people who were just relieved. Bai Zhen and Wang Ning could hardly believe it, while Zhao Bowen scolded his mother angrily in the living room, no one knew who he could scold.

But they couldn’t do anything, and everyone fell into a long and powerless wait in silence.

And what will be the end result of waiting?

No one dared to make any speculations and predictions anymore. Zhao Bowen also sat down on the sofa slumped and buried his face in his hands. As the main promoter of the entire plan and the core leader of the entire team, this is always going to be unscrupulous. The man who pushed forward was finally helpless and could only wait for the judgment of fate.

There is only a long silence on the radio, which may never end.

·

·

·

Bai Yang spent the most difficult two hours in his life. Forsythia was silent. She couldn’t do anything, not even hugging. People squatting in an era of peace and tranquility but can’t help at all, they are really a bunch of rubbish.

The sound of “di-” sounded every two seconds in the living room. This is the beacon of the relay satellite. The continuous sound proves that the data link is unblocked, but the unblocked link is meaningless. The road is connected and there is no data. Passing it over is useless.

Bai Zhen and Wang Ning looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Compared with Bai Yang, they are more at a loss. This is a purely unplanned change. Obviously everything is going well, so many obstacles have been overcome, so many problems have been solved, and the great difficulties are no match for overcoming them with heart and confidence. It was a blast—then a blow to the head knocked a few old monsters back to their original shape, and fate just took a small turn, and threw them so they couldn’t even see the taillights.

Manpower is infinite after all, just like no amount of people can pick up the moon from a well, this world always reminds people of this when they think they can do everything, and makes them realize their weakness and powerlessness.

Mom poured them tea, but no one moved the tea until it was cold.

At a quarter past ten that night, the mechanical and regular light suddenly sounded hurriedly.

People stood up suddenly.

“Signal!”

“There is data… there is data!” Zhao Bowen shouted, “Attention all units! There is data!”

Luckily in the misfortune, the waiting is fruitful. The data flow has traveled through 20 years and burst out from the Icom725 radio station in the bedroom of 804, Building 11, Meihua Villa, and distributed to all parts of the country along the cable and optical fiber. All the units and departments waiting for the battle Immediately start storage backup and cracking work.

“What?” Zhao Bowen received the call, “Video? Alright… Please sync it up.”

He put down his phone, turned his head and said to others:

“There is a video in the transmitted data, no need to interpret it, it should be a video, I’ll let them sync it up.”

The monitors in the    headquarters flickered, and the screen went dark.

Everyone could see something flickering in the dim light, but the screen was full of noise, and it took a few seconds for people to recognize that it was the upper body of a person. She leaned in front of the camera and adjusted something. The sound of “clicking” in the speaker, when the adjustment was completed, the girl took a step back, and was included in the field of vision from head to waist, Lao Zhao Laobai could not wait to get his head into the monitor.

The    girl is still the same girl, but with short hair, a raincoat, a dirty face, and a little embarrassed smile.

“Hello? Can you hear me?” Banxia said to the camera, tilting her head, wondering who she was asking, “Can it be recorded, right? Can the sound and image be recorded?”

She moved to the middle of the screen again and said:

“This is the video. I successfully arrived at the first base. Bai Yang, Dad, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wang, and everyone. If you see the video, it proves that the data transmission is normal.”

Forsythia’s hand on Bai Yang’s shoulder suddenly clenched tightly. Usually, the latter should be screaming at this time, but Bai Yang didn’t say a word.

“The first base is operating quite normally, and the data is well preserved. Although I can’t see anything, the display on it is complete. I have already packaged and sent it in order…” The girl leaned against the wall behind her and raised her hands with her hands. Dirty hair, stroked his forehead and took a breath, “A little dizzy, maybe I ran too fast. I’ve definitely never run so fast in my life, and I have fallen several times on the way.”

“It’s 9:50 pm now, I can probably talk to you for another five minutes.”

Pushing the time back to half an hour ago, Pinellia found the entrance to the first base. It was under a manhole cover with a “national defense fiber optic cable, and it is forbidden to dig”. The entrance was a deep well that went down vertically. There is a metal ladder embedded in the wall of the well. The deep well can only accommodate one person. The girl climbed down the ladder and could feel a slight wind blowing up from the bottom, with a faint smell of oil, indicating that the ventilation system is still working normally. .

After climbing for about ten minutes, Banxia estimated that it was as high as seven or eight stories before her feet touched the ground.

The bottom of the well was almost dark, and the girl turned on her flashlight and looked around.

She was in a narrow corridor, only a few tens of centimeters wide, enough to accommodate a person to pass through, with high walls on both sides, walking two steps forward, Pinellia found a huge red button on the left wall— It is as big as a rice bowl and emits red fluorescence, which is very eye-catching.

She tried to pat.

A light flickered overhead, and then the whole body was bright.

turned out to be a power switch.

Banxia turned off her flashlight and looked at the surrounding environment again. She thought that the corridor she was in was the entrance to the first base. In fact, this narrow corridor was the whole of the first base. At the end, it’s a dead end, and the walls on both sides are embedded with monitors, buttons, knobs, levers, and obviously the operation panel – this is the legendary first base, which looks simple and rough, with gray cement everywhere , not even a chair.

Bai Yang told her that there is a simple and comprehensive operation guide in the first base. Put a monkey in it and shake it, and it can also learn how to make the base work.

Sure enough, Pinellia noticed the words on the left wall, bolded in orange.

“First, push the lever up.”

Under the    prompt is a thick black lever, like the throttle pusher of an airliner. The girl holds it with both hands and pushes it hard.

During the process of pushing   , she heard the sound of “click, click” coming from the wall. She didn’t know what mechanism was being activated. She pushed the lever to the top and saw another line of words:

“Computer cover is open”.

After opening the computer protective cover, there is a thick and long arrow on the wall pointing forward, pointing to the second prompt, “Second, please turn the **** counterclockwise to the left.”

Banxia Yiyan screwed the **** under the prompt. After turning it to the left, a line of small characters “Power is on” appears on the dial of the knob. Then, take a step forward along the arrow to see the third prompt.

“Third, please pull the lever down.”

Pinellia pulled the lever down, which was quite laborious. After pulling it to the end, there was a “click” sound, and there was a “humming” sound in the wall, as if a motor was turning, and there seemed to be an engine room hidden in the wall, gears, crankshafts, chains , There are all kinds of sounds, and Banxia listened curiously to her ear for a while.

If it really is as Bai Yang said, the operations in the base are foolish, and even trained monkeys can master it. The designers were afraid that she might have missed the information or could not read the handwriting. Point out the operation steps, and there are only a few things that need her to operate, either pull or push, as if humans sent the orangutan into space in the early years, and let the orangutan operate the spaceship, it is also a pull or a step, if you step on it, you will eat a banana .

Corresponding to the simplicity on the surface is the invisible complexity inside the walls. In order to ensure the reliability of the first base, engineers have used a lot of solid mechanical structures. These sturdy metal organs are soaked in lubricating oil and can resist typhoons, Earthquakes, or even the shock waves of explosions, don’t damage them for years, and starting them up is as simple as cranking up a diesel tractor—just push hard.

Vigorously miracle.

Pinellia pulled down the lever under the last prompt, and then plugged the disconnected cables according to their colors. After a few seconds, the monitor on the other wall slowly turned on.

She turned around, facing the monitor screen on the wall, and was about to operate it.

Suddenly someone spoke from the loudspeaker above her head, which startled her.

“Hello!”

Banxia was taken aback and looked up.

“H…Hello?”

“Hello, welcome to the first base, I’m Tmall Genie.”

·

·

·

“Tmall Elf?”

Everyone in the living room turned to look at Zhao Bowen with disbelief, and Lao Zhao looked around innocently.

“The artificial intelligence you sent to Doomsday, that AI…” Bai Zhen pointed his finger at the white speaker on the refrigerator, “Is it? The licking elf?”

“We have tested all the mature natural language recognition AIs on the market, and the Tmall Genie is the best performer.” Zhao Bowen spread his hands, saying that the dwarf is taller, not because he has a special liking for the Tmall Genie. Business is unsatisfactory.

“There is only this artificial intelligence in the first base, but it doesn’t seem to be very intelligent.” The girl in the video continued, “I don’t know if it’s just like this or it’s broken. Most of the time it will only follow you. Say hello, like this…”

Pinellia tilted his head and shouted out of the screen:

“Tmall Genie, can you turn the lights up a bit?”

After a few seconds, a voiceover replied:

“Hello, I’m Tmall Genie. If you want to get a paper report, there is a paper report in the safe next to the monitor. If not, please restart the printer. If you want to get media data, there is a mechanical report in the safe No. 2. Hard disk and CD, if you want to enable satellite transmission, please shake the No. 1 handle for Ka/Ku band, No. 2 handle for X/S band, No. 3 handle for SW band, if you are not sure which band it is, please shake all handle.”

“Can you turn the lights up a bit?” Banxia repeated.

“Hello, I’m Tmall Genie. If you want to get a paper report, there is a paper report in the safe next to the monitor. If not, please restart the printer. If you want to get media data, there is a mechanical report in the safe No. 2. Hard disk and CD, if you want to enable satellite transmission, please shake the No. 1 handle for Ka/Ku band, No. 2 handle for X/S band, No. 3 handle for SW band, if you are not sure which band it is, please shake all handle.”

“Look, most of the time it only says this.” The girl shrugged and shook a large stack of paper reports, “I think it’s pretty pitiful too. It’s been held underground for 20 years and no one is following it. Speaking, maybe there is something wrong with it… As for this report, I also took it out, but I can’t understand it. ”

“All the reports look like this, you can see what it means.”

She unfolded the report in her hand and put it in front of the camera. There were only two words on the white A4 paper.

Bold, bold.

STOPVVVLBI.

The designers of the first base have been very thoughtful. The data is backed up and stored in various forms, including paper reports, hard disks, and satellite data links. Even the satellite antennas of each band are ready. Pinellia does not remember. Knowing what frequency band the relay star is working on, she shook all the antennas. It is difficult to tell whether this thing is advanced or backward. It is a high-speed data transmission link, and it is the technological crystallization of modern communication engineering, but The height and direction of the antenna have to be manually adjusted by a large steering wheel.

I don’t know where the antennas are placed. They may be hidden on the roof of a building overhead. They are usually shrunk in the cement pipes. Someone starts the probe. This thing may be in disrepair and rust, so it is so laborious to shake it. .

The computer has a simple graphical operation interface, which can be operated by touching the screen on the monitor. It only has a file browsing and sending function open to the outside world. Pinellia only needs to drag the compressed packages into the sending queue, and they will be transcoded and compressed, and then Transmit to the relay satellite via the antenna.

Paper reports and hard disk data are stored in separate safes. The printer has gone crazy during the long waiting time. The report it spits out fills the entire safe. The moment the girl opens the door, everything is lost. The papers were pouring out.

startled her, and the girl fell to the ground.

Pinellia quickly learned to operate the system, she threw the compressed packages into the sending queue one by one, and then pressed the send button.

She hesitated for a few seconds before pressing the button, even though she knew the time was running out.

The speed of data transmission was as slow as a snail. The progress bar moved forward little by little. Pinellia leaned against the wall and stared blankly at it. When the piercing alarm sounded, the progress bar was only halfway through.

The    alarm indicates that something is breaking through the defensive walls of the first base.

A large number of swordsmen were landing. Before entering the base, Banxia looked up. She could already see the whole picture of the thing. The big eye closest to her was almost above her head. The height of the thing was rapidly decreasing, and the target was very high. Possibly the Zifeng Building – these ghosts always have a soft spot for tall buildings.

Twenty years ago, people designed this sturdy fort underground, and even a nuclear bomb could not penetrate it, but it would not last long in front of the swordsman. Everyone knows that the big eye has a big sword at least 40 meters long, that swordsman. It took only five minutes to dig up more than ten meters of rocks and soil, and break through the first defense. When it penetrated the outermost reinforced concrete of the base, the alarm sounded loudly in the base, and the computer started to count down synchronously.

The computer predicted that the base would be dug through in nine minutes.

And Banxia reckons that before the swordsmen break through all the defense lines and grind the base to pieces, this **** progress bar may not reach 100%.

If the first base is destroyed by it before the data transfer is complete, the plan may be in vain.

She had to do something.

Take an extra minute.

“This is a very interesting place. I regret that I didn’t come here earlier. Bai Yang, Dad, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wang, and everyone, you are really amazing. You have done everything you wanted to do, and the nuclear bomb has also been delivered. , the first base is also running, although there is no one here, and there is no food, but it is still alive, and can chat with Tmall Elf… Tmall Elf!”

“Hello, I’m Tmall Genie.”

Pinellia has tried to communicate with Tmall Elf many times. Tmall Elf can sometimes understand her words, and sometimes can’t understand her words.

For example, when Pinellia asks if it knows what a swordsman is, it doesn’t understand, and when Pinellia asks if the camera on the computer can record, it can give a positive answer.

“I actually want to talk to it more, maybe it will become smarter and more like a normal person… oh, oops, the alarm went off again, it reminded me that the second defense was breached, but The data has not been transmitted yet, can it be faster? I have to leave here. It’s a pity that I can’t get to know each other better with Tmall Genie. It’s really pitiful, just as pitiful as Uncle Huang. You have to treat it well. .”

Pinellia finally confirmed that the data transmission queue was normal, and closed the doors of the safe on the wall again. She had to do something to divert the swordsman’s attention from the base.

“I think I’m really… In the words of the teacher, I’m really a model worker. I really do a lot of things, a lot of things I didn’t dare to think about before.”

“Of course this was all done with your help, especially Uncle Zhao, Dad and Uncle Wang. You are really amazing and reliable. Please accept my praise again!”

Banxia squatted down and fastened her shoelaces, then grabbed the cold ladder and climbed up again.

“BG, Bai Yang, I still have something to tell you, um… I just wanted to tell you, but this video will definitely be seen by a lot of people, forget it, just watch it when you see it, I will take care of it after I die. It’s flooding the sky, I want to apologize to you, I’m so sorry for yelling at you just now, but you’re a boy, you’re yelled at when you’re yelled at, the teacher used to scold me every day.”

She climbed up the ladder step by step, through the narrow deep well.

“The world is really complicated. I hesitated for a while when I sent the document. You said if this can really save the world and turn all the time upside down, does that mean I don’t exist anymore? Or Saying that I never existed? If this is the case, then you can’t forget me, after all, I have helped you so much.”

“Oh, I don’t understand, it’s too complicated, the world and time are too complicated, but complexity often means there are many, many possibilities, BG, the reason why I want to tell you specifically is because I think you will be sad in the future. , you are the kind of person who likes to keep things in their hearts, don’t say no, I have seen through you for so long, but since the world and time are such complex things that no one can understand them, Then BG, dear BG, dearest BG, dearest BG, you must have hope, in such a broad world and such a long time in the future, you must believe…”

The ladder reached the top, the girl pushed open the manhole cover, looked up and saw the deep red sky.

“We’ll see you again.”
