Walking down the gangway, standing in front of two steaming Gas military off-road vehicles with engines running, Balvendra, an Indian youth with dark skin and deep eye sockets, an important member of the IPU and the leader of the anti-GTC organization "Shiva", stood.
Gu Tie put down the suitcase in his hand, stepped forward and beat his strong chest: "Old man, what trouble have you caused again? How long have we not seen each other, three years?"
"If you didn't like trouble, I wouldn't have called you here. Three years and five months." The Indian smiled and answered in standard Mandarin, "I will silently recite your name every day when I pray, and pray that you will not be too early."
Die."
"Don't worry, there is a saying in China that a disaster will last for thousands of years." Gu Tie laughed and hugged him warmly.
The two got into the first off-road vehicle. The driver was a young Ukrainian officer. He turned around and asked in jerky English: "Sir, where are you going?"
"Speak Russian? We can hear Russian," Balvendra said.
"Of course, where are we going now?" the officer said in Russian.
"Go and see His Majesty the General."
"Yes, sir."
The car started, drove out of the airport, and turned onto the wide asphalt highway.
"The person we want to meet is Army Lieutenant General Vladimir Igri. This old guy's brother Sergey is the vice chairman of the current ruling party, the Socialist Party of Ukraine. Their family has some influence in both the military and political circles."
Barr switched to Chinese and said to Gu Tie.
"I remember that the Socialist Party of Ukraine relied on its anti-GTC manifesto to gain mass support during the election. The first thing the president did when he came to power was to expel the tentacles of Genesis from the country." Gu Tie touched the back of his head, "Can there be an Internet connection here?
For example, playing ‘World’ or something like that.”
"The entire Ukraine uses IPv6 encoding, and the terminal's T-code (Note 1) addressing will be blocked during exchange, so satellite access can only be used. You also play 'World', which continent are you on?" Barr
asked unexpectedly.
"Western Continent. Close to the river on the southwest border." Gu Tieyile said, "You are the leader of the anti-GTC, why are you playing games on Genesis."
Barr's face turned red: "'Shiva' wants to build a resistance force in the 'world'. You know, the operation of the 'world' is now GTC's top priority."
"You still think that the timing committee is the source of all evil? You are considered an alternative within the IPU."
"IPU is also divided into two groups. Some members believe that the quantum computer 'Genesis' is a door to evil that should not exist in the world. The other half of the organization, such as 'Shiva', believes that computers are not terrible. What is terrible is that they are not controlled by anyone."
In the hands of those with restrictive power, it is like giving a three-year-old child a pistol with the safety on."
"Barr, this idea is childish. Someone has to manage Genesis. Democracy is the stupidest thing."
"I have a trident to drive storms, black bows and arrows to spread plague, and cobras to spit out venom. I want to master the power of ghosts and spirits, so that the ignorant who dare to use quantum computers to enslave mankind will be completely burned by black flames." Barr made a lotus flower with his hands.
, his nails scratched down the middle of his forehead. - Gu Tie knew that he was using gestures to show that he had a third eye that represented the power of Shiva.
"I've known you for so long, and I feel more and more that you are a lunatic. When one day you really destroy GTC, will you stay in Salzburg and kill each one?"
"Until Brahma's oracle comes." Baal showed an evil smile that made Gu Tie's hair stand on end.
"Come on, come on, let's get it clear. I'm here to help you, not your bullshit organization. If something happens, don't blame me." Gu Tie shook his head and turned to look out the window at the passing white birch trees.
"By the way," he turned around again, "how did you get involved with the Ukrainians?"
"It's a long story. In 2037, the Russian Gorky Automobile Plant (Note 2), which you Chinese call Gas Group, was on the verge of bankruptcy. My family company carried out mergers and acquisitions and reorganization of Gas Group, and took this opportunity to establish an alliance with the Russian government.
Friendship. The GAZ 41 off-road vehicle we are riding in is one of the 500 military vehicles donated to the Ukrainian Army two years ago in the name of CIS economic and trade assistance. In fact, it is just my expression of goodwill to the Ukrainian government.
General Vladimir also received an AKM-Delta prototype gun signed by Kalashnikov. After that, we gradually became familiar with him. You know, the wages of Ukrainian soldiers and civil servants are pitifully low."
"There are sugar-coated bullets of capitalism everywhere." Gu Tie curled his lips.
As he was talking, the GAZ SUV turned into a house with guards on guard, and stopped in front of a two-story Russian-style spire house. Standing on the steps was a fat man wearing an old-style military uniform and a big-brimmed hat, smiling broadly.
He held out his hands and said hello in Russian: "Mr. Iron, welcome."
"I introduced you as the director of the Quantum Angel Fund, a wealthy Chinese businessman with a bit of a strange collecting habit." Barr secretly said in Gu Tie's ear.
"Dear General Igri, the weather in Ukraine is very cold, and your smile warms my soul like a burning fireplace." Gu Tie got out of the car with a friendly smile and stretched out his hands to greet you. Four friendly hands.
And held together in victory.
"Please call me Vladimir, Mr. Iron." The lieutenant general smiled brightly and let the two of them into the house. They sat down in the splendid living room. The orderly brought coffee. "A little vodka is added to warm the body.
A little." Seeing Gu Tie grinning after taking a sip, the general said with a smile.
After meaningless greetings, Lieutenant General Igri took the initiative to get to the point: "My friend Barr introduced that Mr. Tie is very famous in the collecting world and is famous in China for his unique vision. This time he came to Ukraine to find all kinds of things.
It is a very interesting idea to have a radioactive and historically significant collection in the ruins of Chernobyl! I can assure you that although foreign adults are strictly prohibited from entering the cordoned off area, I will do my best to ensure that you can in one week
Sitting unscathed in my home in China admiring the charred doll covered in radioactive dust.”
"Thank you! My collection room is already extremely empty." Gu Tiedao turned around and glared at Barr fiercely, meaning that you can make up such a weak excuse.
Bal touched the bridge of his tall nose and said: "If you want to add vodka to your coffee, Wiprova (Note 3) is more suitable."
"Hmph, it's a light wine of the Polish people. Ukrainians have stopped drinking Polish wine since the Cossack Uprising (Note 4)." The lieutenant general shook his fat finger and said righteously. "I am a principled person.——
But sometimes, my eyesight is not very good."
Gu Tie was stunned, and Barr continued: "Don't worry, Lieutenant General, what you can't see will not affect your principles."
The two of them smiled tacitly.
The lieutenant general stood up, shook hands with the two men one by one, and said: "Please go to bed early today. Someone will pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Mr. Balvendra can bring a few followers, no more than six people. I will send a
The soldiers of the squad will protect you. In addition, according to the security regulations of the quarantine area, there will be an official from the National Security Council and a reporter from the "People's Army Daily" (Note 5) sponsored by the Ministry of National Defense. Don't mind, they are all smart people.
Gentlemen, I wish you good luck."
General Igri raised his hand in salute, turned around and went out. The GAZ SUV roared out of the yard, leaving only two armed guards behind.
"Old fox." Gu Tie commented.
The general stuffed a ball of paper into his palm. When he unfolded it, it was full of matrix codes (Note 6).
Note 1, "T" code, "T" address: a unique number that each Genesis terminal has, similar to a MAC address, used to determine the identity of the accesser;
Note 2, Gorky Automobile Plant: a large automobile enterprise established in the former Soviet era, producing "Gaz" brand off-road vehicles, "Volga", "Seagull" brand off-road vehicles, etc.;
Note 3, Wiprowa: Polish vodka brand;
Note 4, Cossack Uprising: a revolutionary movement led by the national hero Khmelnytsky in 1591 against the rule of the Kingdom of Poland;
Note 5: "People's Army Daily": the official newspaper of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine;
Note 6: Matrix code: a type of QR code, used to store large amounts of information on flat media;
