#17 - Chapter 17 Supercomputing Center Launch
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to ask himself a question:
"What exactly are you doing every day?"
For so many years, he had become accustomed to living alone: shopping alone, eating alone, watching movies alone, playing games alone... as if life should be like this.
Until recently, many people suddenly appeared in his life, so many that he couldn't even name some of them.
With those familiar and unfamiliar faces flashing in his mind, he really wanted to ask himself:
"What exactly are you doing? Why has life become like this now?"
"Aren't you usually most annoyed by crowds? Aren't you usually most afraid of trouble?"
"How could it be like this?"
Most importantly, everyone is watching him.
His fate has unknowingly become tied to everyone's fate.
Inadvertently, he had become everyone's spiritual leader, everyone's hope.
In everyone's perception, he had gradually been deified: deified into a prophet, deified into a savior, deified into the only hope that could lead them to the future.
But he himself knew that he was still the same as before.
His heart, perhaps, was not yet ready to bear such weight.
But he was already unable to control it and had no choice.
...
"Commander, the supercomputing center has been deployed and debugged, and all construction personnel have been evacuated.
The control system program has been packaged, do you want to push the installation?" Xiaolin said suddenly.
"Install," Xiaolin's words also pulled Dongfang Chen back from his thoughts, so he replied.
"Okay, Commander," Xiaolin replied.
1 hour later...
"Commander, the control system program has been deployed, do you want to run it?" Xiaolin asked.
"Run!" Dongfang Chen replied.
"Okay, Commander, the program has started..."
"Congratulations, Commander, the supercomputing center has been successfully deployed.
Do you want to connect?" Xiaolin said.
"Connect," Dongfang Chen replied.
"Okay."
Then the prompt status on the screen kept flashing:
Sending command...
Verifying...
Authorization status is normal...
Satellite signal is normal...
Distributing keys...
Logging in...
Login successful!
With the appearance of the four words "Login successful", the screen changed, and the outline of a space station outlined by blue lines was displayed on the screen.
At this time, the space station could be clearly seen divided into three cabins.
Two short, one long.
The length of the long cabin was estimated to be about four times that of the other two.
The longest cabin was yellow, with a large number in the middle: 83%.
It seemed that the largest cabin was the central hall.
"Xiaolin, can the perspective be rotated?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Yes, Commander.
Since augmented reality technology has not yet been developed, you cannot directly rotate the perspective, you can only operate through me.
You can tell me the angle value you want to rotate, and I will help you adjust it," Xiaolin replied.
"Forget it, it's too much trouble, let's just make do with it," Dongfang Chen waved his hand and said.
"Okay, Commander," Xiaolin replied.
"Can the Queen Bee be connected after the supercomputing center is started?" Dongfang Chen asked.
The Queen Bee was a top priority and could not be taken lightly.
"Yes, Commander, the Queen Bee has been successfully connected, you can check it on the panel at any time," Xiaolin replied.
"Well, then switch to the Queen Bee panel," Dongfang Chen was too lazy to run over and click the mouse, so he ordered.
"Okay, Commander," Xiaolin replied.
Then the screen flashed, and an enlarged version of the spider projection was displayed in the center of the screen.
"How many bee ants have been manufactured so far?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Commander, 247 have been manufactured," Xiaolin replied.
"It's still a bit slow.
What is the next plan?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"Reporting to the Commander, after the number of bee ants meets the number required for construction, the next plan is to use the bee ants to build a geothermal power generation room to ensure the stability of the base's power system.
In addition, after the central hall of the space station is built, the experimental cabin can be built," Xiaolin reported.
"Very good, then do it that way," Dongfang Chen nodded.
Other things can be ignored for now, but the power supply must be done first.
As the virus continues to spread, the power supply system will fail sooner or later, so the power generation room must be built before the problem occurs.
Otherwise, the base will be dark and the air will not circulate, and people will really not be able to stay, and there will be chaos.
...
At this moment, outside the base, the entire Xicheng Development Zone was in chaos.
The streets were full of walking zombies, shouting crowds, and the sound of gunfire.
On a certain street.
"Luo'er, are you okay?" A man saw the girl fall and quickly helped her up and asked.
"Brother, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all," the girl said calmly, looking at her scratched hand.
"Okay, let's go quickly," the man didn't bother to stop the bleeding for the girl, took her hand and continued to run.
At this time, the road was already extremely congested, and walking was the only way to pass.
"Brother, are we really going to Funing District?" The younger sister didn't move, grabbed her brother and asked.
"Yes! Didn't we already agree?" The man replied anxiously.
"Brother, I suddenly don't want to go, why don't you go alone," the younger sister said, suddenly leaving tears.
"Why? Luo'er? Why don't you want to go suddenly?" The man was stunned and asked.
"It's nothing.
Brother, I just don't want to go.
I just want to stay at home, I don't want to go anywhere.
Don't worry about me, go alone," the woman said, shaking off the man's hand and pushing her brother away.
"If you don't go, what am I going to do alone?
Since you don't want to go, let's go home!" The man saw that the girl just wouldn't go, so he simply didn't go.
"No! Brother, I want to be alone," the girl said, refusing.
"Luo'er, what's wrong with you today?
Why did you suddenly become so strange?" The man was very puzzled and anxious.
"It's nothing.
I just think that you have been taking care of me for so many years, it's really troublesome.
I'm so old, and I want to have my own space.
It's really inconvenient for you to stay by my side," Luo'er said.
"But you are different!
How can you do without someone taking care of you?" The man said anxiously.
"Brother, I can take care of myself!
Please give me some personal space, okay?" Luo'er said crying.
"Okay, okay!
Don't cry, don't cry.
How about this, I'll send you back first, okay?" The man said with concern.
The girl nodded, without saying a word.
The man supported the girl and turned around to go back, but as soon as he took a step, the girl fainted.
"Luo'er, Luo'er!" The man quickly laid the girl flat when he saw this and shouted loudly.
The girl frowned, her expression very uncomfortable.
The man hurriedly took out medicine from his pocket and fed it to the woman.
5 minutes later, the girl recovered and opened her eyes.
"Brother.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The girl cried sadly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Silly girl, what are you saying sorry for!
As long as you are okay," the man said it didn't matter.
The girl shook her head, expressing her disagreement with the man's words, and said:
"Brother.
I'm afraid I can't do it anymore, don't worry about me, leave quickly alone."
"You girl!
What are you talking about?
I carry your medicine with me, nothing will happen.
Besides, can brother throw you down and leave alone?" The man pretended to be angry and complained.
The girl continued to shake her head, her eyes full of reluctance, and continued to say:
"Brother, I won't hide it from you now, I suspect I've been infected!
You can't get out of Xicheng District with me."
"No, no!
You have heart disease, it must be a relapse!" The man resolutely refused to admit it.
"Brother, listen to me.
I know my situation.
I can't feel the pain anymore, and I may faint soon.
You leave quickly, otherwise we will all die here," the girl explained.
Not feeling pain is a typical symptom of infection with the neurotropic virus.
Affected by the virus, the patient's brain's pain area may be destroyed.
The virus prevention and control team will promote popular science-related content through major Internet platforms and media, so everyone basically knows it.
"I don't care!
If we die, we will die together!" The man said without容置疑.
After speaking, the man picked up the girl and ran back.
From time to time, zombies chasing crowds appeared on the road.
The man hugged the girl, unable to return home, and unable to leave Xicheng District, so he could only find a place where no one was to hide.
In a panic, he also ran to Binjiang Park.
"Luo'er, hold on a little longer, let's find a place to rest as soon as possible," the man said as he ran, sweating profusely and panting heavily.
