In the pure white room of the virtual world, the seven members of the betrayers fell into a long silence. The news brought by Sakir forced them to re-examine the future of the world and the role they can play in the future world. Ma Trier changed into a comfortable position and sat down. He picked up the mug and took a sip of Abuja distilled liquor. Two pleasant red clouds appeared on his dark face: "Guys, relax. Take a sip of wine. It's okay to be in a bad mood. Health doesn't help at all...if you ask me, distilled wine mixed with shaman's magic potion is the best way to solve the problem. As long as there is no hangover the next day, it will be perfect."
Shamsher immediately countered: "If half of the 10 billion people in the world were idiots like you, then mankind would have perished long ago."
"Half the world is laughing at the other half. In fact, the whole world is a fool." Matrill crossed his legs leisurely and smacked his lips: "Stop worrying about that little satellite. Talk about something else. For example, democracy in Chad. The deployment of the army of the Communist Republic and so on..."
"Ahem." Gu Tie immediately pretended to cough, glared at the other party with his eyes, and strangled what the Chinese and Philippine president wanted to say in his infancy.
Xiao Liping glanced at Gu Tie in surprise and then at Matril. "What?"
"That...he said it wrong. That one is called a deep space probe. Those that circle around stars are called satellites. Let me correct you." Gu Tie changed the topic without changing his expression. "Sakir, you said GTC made it How long will it take for a small quantum computer to actually work."
The American astronaut hesitated: "I'm not an expert in this field. Lemuel. What's your opinion?"
Remiel stared at the three-dimensional model in the air. "Making a miniaturized quantum computer is not only an algorithm problem and a theoretical problem. It is also a material problem and a process problem. I think the miniaturized and low-energy 'Genesis' also relies on a large number of materials. Innovation and process breakthroughs. Such as angstrom-level process technology, lattice media storage technology, high-temperature superconducting technology and bismuth telluride topological insulator technology. The National Accelerator Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and Stanford University Materials A year ago, the Institute of Energy Science and Energy Sciences (SIMES) published a paper in the online version of Science stating that bismuth telluride superconducting technology can enter the practical application stage within three years. If GTC selflessly provides them with timing assistance for research, it may be two years. The results can be produced within a year... But no matter what, I think it is impossible to build a quantum computer smaller than a container truck in the short term." He fiddled with the computer model the size of a basketball. "Let alone such a compact little guy. ."
"I agree with your point of view." Xiao Liping pushed up his glasses. "And Adam, what are you hiding from me in the Republic of Chad?"
Gu Tie shuddered under Secretary Xiao's eyes that seemed to see through everything. "It's nothing. GTC has some arrangements over there. Matril and I just want to cause trouble... Well, let's be serious. Do you think GTC is right? Are the level of research on irrational numbers higher than ours? Which number have they mastered?"
This sentence caused everyone to look up at the red countdown numbers in the sky: 205 Make the fourth digit appear. Instead, they have a feeling of getting further and further away from the final answer.
"Same as us." The words were as plain as water without any emotion. The mysterious seventh person Jakir spoke. "They only calculated the first three digits."
"How did you come to this conclusion?" Several people asked at the same time.
"Attitude." Jakir squatted with his knees in his arms. His face could not be seen clearly in the shadow: "A hiding attitude. A secretive behavior. They don't know the exact date when the final judgment will come. So they act with hesitation. ."
Xiao Liping nodded: "Just as we think, increasing the time used for calculations cannot substantially improve the calculation efficiency of irrational numbers. They lack the same thing as us. That is luck. And I think GTC internally has no understanding of this string of numbers. There are differences. Only some senior officials believe it represents the end of the world. Actions against the countdown may be departmental or even personal.”
Gu Tie turned to Sakir: "Can you tell from the detector which GTC department is responsible?"
"Department 9." The astronaut replied after a little recall. "There is a nameplate of the relevant person in charge inside the detector. It is a department called Department 9."
"I know about the Ninth Branch." Gu Tie frowned and waved his hand to open the GTC homepage in front of everyone. "There is no title like the Ninth Branch on the official GTC page. There are only Operations Department, Communications Department, Internal Affairs Department, and Anti-Terrorism Department. There are seven departments including the Intelligence Department. The 'World' Operation Project Team established in cooperation with the 'Taihao' Company can barely be counted as the eighth department." He closed the page and called up an encrypted document: "But according to one of the IPU A piece of internal information. The legendary Ninth Branch exists. It is a secret service agency responsible for espionage and assassination work. It is also responsible for internal investigations and handling of abnormal events. No one knows its detailed structure, scale and operating mechanism. IPU The information the intelligence officers desperately brought back was only a blurry photo and a name."
A photo appeared in the air. A black-haired old man with sunken cheeks and a wrinkled face. Under the sparse white eyebrows, there was a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon. "Guy Kukri. Before joining GTC, he was an Israeli intelligence and special agent Director of the Mission. The first mission in his resume was the assassination of Hamas senior official Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh at the five-star Al Bustan Rotana Hotel in Dubai on January 20, 2010. He is a complete cold-blooded animal. "Gu Tie introduced.
"Intelligence and Special Mission Directorate..." Shamsher was not familiar with this term.
"Mossad is one of the world's three major intelligence organizations during the Cold War." Xiao Liping said.
Gu Tie touched his nose: "...Comrade Israfel, do you think this dear friend is a bit similar to you? Especially that look in his eyes."
Xiao Liping ignored him at all: "Scientific instruments manufactured by the Ninth Division. This must be a departmental act. I don't know which other GTC senior officials have joined this faction."
After a clueless discussion, Gu Tie then recounted his experience during this period. He said that he helped "Shiva" fight a mysterious and mysterious feint in the ruins of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Let Balwinder La's partners were able to successfully break through the defense of Malaysia's GTC East Asia core routing, creating the largest information disaster in the history of quantum networks. A burst of warm applause broke out at the scene. "I knew this matter had nothing to do with you." Mr. Sakir He smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Who else can make those old guys so anxious except you? As soon as this happened, it scared the US Department of Homeland Security to conduct a comprehensive inspection of domestic quantum network routing and IPv6 routing. They are always on alert."
"That's not the point." Gu Tie waved his hand in a mysterious manner. He went on to talk about how he was taking a nap in a safe house in Belarus (of course, skipping the story about the beautiful girl Natalia). Suddenly a mysterious visitor invaded. " Pure Land". He left a message saying "Stay in Mojiri". Then he disappeared like a ghost without leaving a trace.
After saying these words, the betrayer's companions looked at each other. "I'll beat you into your comfort zone. Then I'll slap you on the butt and leave." Matriel said in shock. "Who has such great ability."
"Keep listening, keep listening." Gu Tie then said that an important figure in the IPU, "Crazy" Hasegawa Bensaka, the leader of "One Hundred Million Jade Broken", visited the safe house. "I know this person." Xiao Liping nodded. "How many times?" He came to Beijing years ago. You were not there at the time. I helped him transfer fifteen sets of industrial-grade purification equipment from the Southern Industrial Group to Africa. He is a very easy to deal with. It is good to be a friend, but it is terrible to be an enemy. "
Gu Tie screamed strangely: "He is still a Japanese." What happened next was even more beyond the expectations of his partners. Hasegawa used nerve gas to inexplicably knock him unconscious and threw him into a complete vehicle bound for Warsaw, Poland. The sealed stuffy tank car. Fortunately, I found the mechanism on the carport and escaped. I found the secret base of "One Hundred Million Jade Broken" in the train. I also found the personal computer of madman Hasegawa. I saw the weirdness of the Japanese in the "world" experience.
Someone wanted to comment. Gu Tie stretched out his hand to stop him. He finished talking about how he fled to the small Polish town of Bialystok, was attacked by unidentified armed men, fled with a descendant of the Polish government in exile, and searched on the quantum network The enemy's information was met with a strong counterattack, and he heard that an old friend from the Central African battlefield was missing in the Sea of Japan. When he went to search for information, he found that this matter was also related to the mysterious organization. He breached the enemy's headquarters building of the Japanese Police Department. In the underground computer room of the Japanese Cabinet Intelligence Investigation Office, I saw a strange and inexplicable human operation cabin, and heard Brotherhood members reporting the situation to the European headquarters.
What he said made his mouth dry. He took a glass of water with a snap of his fingers and drank it. At least he could comfort his autonomic nerves first. "Let's sum it up." He licked his lips. "This organization called the 'Red Owl Brotherhood' is also Many things are related. It may even be related to GTC... Do you have any clues?"
There was a buzzing discussion, but no one answered. This result was expected by Gu Tie. "It's very mysterious. Very dangerous. You can pay attention to relevant clues secretly. Never come into contact with any information related to the Brotherhood in the quantum network. "Even I almost capsized in the gutter." He said bitterly. "There is still no news about Aziwei. I will go to Japan in a few days."
"Okay. First I was hunted down by Brotherhood members and the Polish government in Poland. Then I went to Japan to fight with the Metropolitan Police. Finally I went to Africa to help the simple-minded President fight a war with Chad. Your life is much more fulfilling than mine. "Comrade Adam." Xiao Li said calmly.
"Uh...what. Let's talk about the 'world' next." Gu Tie immediately showed an innocent expression and secretly wiped the cold sweat from his face.
