Chapter 8 seven

A few of us rushed out of the elevator like a gale, and met the general head-on. "That's amazing! Our technicians and coordinators have all gone out to karaoke?" The general's sharp eyes scratched our faces, "You are so cruel!" No one spoke, everyone looked down at their toes, including Lin Lan. "Get back to your position, everyone! Quick!" the general was almost roaring. I returned to my seat, and after switching on the energy density distribution map of the bubble defense interface, I realized why all the technicians were urgently assembled—it was an unprecedentedly bad situation.This time, the delta mother ship in lunar orbit split into a frighteningly large secondary mother ship. When its main guns were bombarded, the energy intensity per unit area was as high as 15.2 times that of ordinary secondary mother ships! Zhang's seemingly complete bubble defense interface is actually riddled with holes. The energy circulation inside the interface is extremely chaotic, and some fragile places cannot withstand the next bombardment at all.And if even a beam of light of this intensity penetrates the bubble defense, it will be equivalent to detonating a small hydrogen bomb in Shanghai! "The countdown to the next bombardment is ready, one minute!" Zhang Hao's voice appeared on the public channel.

The light flow emitted by the secondary mothership is not continuous, and it needs a time to accumulate. Zhang Hao's position is the observer, and she observes the increasing energy intensity on the secondary mothership. My hands were shaking on the keyboard.I have been easily nervous since I was a child, and every time I encountered such a special situation, I would tremble violently.My usual test results are actually higher than that of Big Pig and Erzhu, but in actual operation, my speed of balancing a conventional defect surface is only about 60% of that of Big Pig.Big Pig always couldn't understand why I was able to command production, build troops, and open new bases smoothly when I was fighting the empire. He couldn't keep up with my speed. "Frame the defect plane, density calculation, high-order calculation, key variables, equations, lock key variables, balance, rebalance, high-order balance, replace key variables..." My hands jumped on the keyboard, and I muttered every step of the way.Every technician has experienced this kind of terrible training. When we enter the state, we are not like people at all, but a sophisticated machine, which can complete this set of operations that are too complicated for computers to complete.There cannot be even a small mistake, such as choosing the wrong variable, otherwise the defect will not only be irreparable, but will even expand.

There are 36 defects marked as "dangerous" on the entire interface, but we only have 28 technicians in total, and 12 of them are all focused on repairing the huge defect surface marked as "extremely dangerous" above the Nanpu Bridge.There is our physical condition monitoring interface in the lower right corner of the screen, and I can see that my heart rate is already 160 beats per minute.But I couldn't stop, and I didn't even have time to adjust my breathing. There was not only one giant secondary mothership in the sky above Shanghai, but also no less than ten medium-sized secondary motherships. They fired their main bulletins one by one. But these sporadic attacks disrupted the energy balance on the interface, and new small defects continued to increase. "Number 8 complete!"

I finished repairing the No. 8 gap above Xuhui District and turned to No. 13 gap.This is the instruction given to me by Lin Lan. She is the coordinator and is responsible for distributing new tasks to different technicians. She is now sitting at the desk less than 20 meters away from me. This circular office is mixed together. Among the countless heavy breathing sounds, one was hers. "30 seconds countdown." "Complete on the 13th!" "Finished on the 15th!" "15 seconds countdown." "Number 6 completed!" "No. 1 completed!" It seems that Big Pig and the others have finally repaired the defect directly above the Nanpu Bridge. We all know what is underneath, and that place cannot be lost. "10 seconds." Zhang Hao's voice became hoarse. "9!8!7!6!5!4!3!2!1!0!"

Everyone is staring at the screen, no one knows where the next attack will happen, the main gun of this big thing is simply the hand of death. I felt numb, and my heart stopped for a moment on the heart rate monitoring interface.I saw things I hadn't seen before.On the screen in front of me is the simulated equipotential surface diagram of energy division, which is as smooth as a saddle.And now a terrifying protrusion suddenly appeared on the saddle-shaped curved surface! It was like a medieval knight's spear pointing straight up, and its height soared sharply, breaking through the maximum value of the Z axis in an instant.The screen display turned into flashing red, and a shrill alarm sounded suddenly, like a steel wire sawing a magnetic disk.

I quickly took the position of the protrusion, and the reported result was (234, 23, 123, 14), which is a familiar coordinate. "This is where?" Suddenly I knew it was happening! I knew it was coming for no more than five seconds, and then I figured it might have taken two seconds to figure it out! "Shockwave!!!" All I had time to do was take off my headphones and The whole office yelled. Everyone kicked the chairs away like me and fell down with their heads in their hands. It was as if a huge drone was vibrating its wings outside the building, and the frequency of the buzzing sound rose sharply, quickly exceeding the 20,000 Hz that the human ear could accept.But I know that the terrible air vibration is still there, like sharp needles piercing my eardrum, and my teeth are biting together like biting sand.

Suddenly all the lights went dark! There was a loud "bang", and the terrible pressure brought by this high frequency exploded.It was as if a pair of huge hands were holding down my chest... no... it was a wooden hammer hitting my chest. The next moment, I felt the air in my lungs desperately trying to find a gap to get out. The pressure suddenly disappeared.I saw that the entire glass curtain wall in front of me was shattered, and the broken glass swept across the entire office like a hurricane, passing just above my head.I try to open my mouth wide, but not to shout, this is to avoid the imbalance of internal and external air pressure, such a powerful shock wave may cause the eardrum to rupture.

(234, 23, 123, 14) is the position of CITIC Pacific Plaza on the coordinate map. The bombing just now was right above our heads.The intensity of the optical flow was unprecedented, the bubble defense was almost pierced, and the computer automatically activated the elastic defense.This bubble-like thing bends inward like a lightly touched soap bubble, dispelling the power of the bombardment of the light flow, but at this moment it will produce a downward shock wave.It travels in the air at a speed almost equal to the speed of sound, and reaches CITIC Plaza in less than 5 seconds from a height of 1,500 meters.If someone is standing outside the building right now, they will definitely see a wave form from top to bottom in this building, which is completely covered with tempered glass. As this wave falls rapidly, the outer walls of the entire building collapse! " Are you still alive?" The ground was covered with shards of glass, and the general was the first to jump up.

People jumped up one by one, and I looked back at Lin Lan's position.She got up, short of breath, and simply straightened the hem of her skirt, and threw herself on the monitor in front of her again.The position of the big pig is opposite to me. He is pressing the keyboard with two nosebleeds, his nostrils are dilated, and he sucks forcefully.This guy seems to be recovering the fastest. According to him, he doesn’t have a balance bar in his ears, so we went to ride the roller coaster. The second pig and I were about to vomit, and the big pig was still eating ice cream and waiting in line. a trip. "The energy response of target A has increased again, and it will launch again!" Zhang Hao's voice.

Target A was that monstrously large thing that was accumulating energy for its next launch.I followed the general to the glassless window and looked up at the sky.In the gorgeous purple light, the sky above his head was distorted, as if someone had placed a huge lens there.This is a sign of interfacial disorder, and the entire bubble defense may collapse due to this local disorder.Even if those delta warships are fools, they should know where to attack now.I remembered the reconnaissance predator I saw, it was above CITIC Pacific, it should be collecting information on this building, and they are coming for us this time! "Totally messed up! Can't be repaired! Can't stop!" I don't know who is yelling. "Quiet!" The general's roar stopped everyone, "Fix the gap directly above! Quick!"

The fluorescent lights in the entire big office are flickering crazily. The building has been connected to a backup power supply. Each control system has its own large-capacity lithium battery. There is no power failure or restart. All we can do is return to our own Take a seat and see what can be done. "The countdown to the next optical flow bombing, 120 seconds!" Zhang Hao's voice appeared on the public channel again. "What? Why so fast?" the general's voice. "This time, its energy accumulation speed has increased significantly, 110 seconds." "The energy response of the damaged area has begun to increase, and it is now repairing!" Lin Lan's voice. "Who's performing the restoration?" The general's voice. "Balancer No. 13 Pan Hantian." Big Pig's voice was clear and quiet in the earphones. "Countdown 90 seconds." "Everyone supports Pan Hantian, plug the gap!" The general's voice. "It's useless, too many people are useless, it's too late." I stood up and watched Big Pig, his fingers jumping like popping beans on the keyboard.Big Pig is different from all of us. He operates the keyboard with one hand and the positioning operation with the other. This technology makes him balance much faster than us.The balance equation flowed rapidly on his monitor screen, and the energy density at the defect was rising sharply.I know I can't help him, he is really the best technician among us, no one can catch up with him and provide him with support. "60 second countdown!" "Pan Hantian carried out the restoration, and Zhang Hao counted down. All the rest are ready to meet the impact!" The general gave the final order. He himself did not dodge, he rushed to the window and stared at the things floating in the sky, the purple light shone on his sharp cheeks, his face looked hideous and terrifying, as if he was going to chew up those things and eat them Lose. I rushed to the corner, where several alloy safe cabins had been occupied.I looked around: Some people just hugged their heads and lay under the workbench; measures.No one knows how to meet the impact. This is not a forced landing of an airplane. What we have to face is an attack that is as strong as a hydrogen bomb. It's not like you just greet it. There are no Super Saiyans among us. A figure flashed in front of me, and I grabbed her arm: "Where are you going?" Lin Lan turned her head: "Go and turn on the fire protection system." "Forget about the fire protection system, it's a matter of life and death now." "Find a place to hide yourself, and leave me alone!" Lin Lan broke my hand. I didn't let it go. "It's so annoying! Get out of here!" Lin Lan was in a hurry. "30 seconds countdown!" Lin Lan and I were stunned for a moment.Not because there were only 30 seconds left, but because there was a rustling of fine ash on our heads, followed by a slight cracking sound.I looked up and shoved her shoulders hard, pinning her to the ground.At the same moment, the ceiling above my head fell and hit the ground heavily. My eyes went dark, and I felt that my eyes, ears, mouth and nose were full of dust. I helped Lin Lan get up, and there was burning pain in my right arm. I used this arm to cover Lin Lan's head just now, but unfortunately, an exposed steel bar in the ceiling hit it.I glanced at the ruins, half of the office was buried in the dust, but fortunately, the big pig in the corner was not endangered.Steel bars are exposed in the concrete structure. This is the collapse of the load-bearing beam on the 32nd floor! There are red and black blood in several places in the ruins. I know a few colleagues I will never see them again. I remember their names, but now I can't think about it. Lin Lan's face was pale, his eyes were full of horror, and he looked at me. She was going to turn around, and I turned her head around: "Don't look!" I pulled her quickly across many workbenches, and rushed out of the circular office. Outside was the living room.This is the living room where Motorola used to work here. After the requisition, the setting has not been changed. There is only a coffee table and a few black leather sofas in it. "you……" I didn't give Lin Lan a chance to speak, so I pushed her down to the ground, picked up a couch and turned it over, and buckled her under it.This thing is actually not heavy, otherwise it would be really troublesome. "What are you doing?" Lin Lan pushed up the sofa with all her strength, poked out half of her face, and stared at me. There is no point in staring now, who is afraid of whom when death is imminent? I pushed her head back: "Have you read the "Emergency Survival Manual"? For self-protection when the shock wave comes, you should first choose the corner of the house with triangular supports. If not, choose other small spaces, such as sofas and benches." Under the chair. In this way, if there is a collapse, you will not be crushed to death, this thing is not heavy, and you can push it away by yourself when the time comes." "Emergency Survival Manual" is actually Lu Yiyi stuffed a copy for me, I really want to thank this girl, and the Monkey King Zhu Bajie in the subway advertisement.This is the only thing I can do, but even if Lin Lan can live, probably don't expect me to help her move the sofa again. Lin Lan reluctantly pushed the sofa up again, poking her face out. "You are obedient! If you can save your life, remember, I saved you!" I was a little impatient. "What kind of hero are you?" Lin Lan still stared at me, "Come in!" I froze for a moment. "Why are you in a daze? It's enough to hide two people below!" I was still in a daze, Lin Lan gave me a hand, and I got in too, and buckled up on the sofa.After all, it was originally a reception sofa of a large multinational company, which was big enough to cover two people.We lay on our sides facing each other and could hear each other's tense breathing.The light coming in through the gap is gone, maybe there is a problem with the backup power supply. "Countdown 15 seconds!" Zhang Hao's voice was in the earphones. My hand touched the phone in my pants pocket, took it out and turned on the screen, the blue light shone on my face and Lin Lan's, both looked very ugly.We looked at each other a few times, I smiled with my mouth crooked, and Lin Lan smiled too. "Will you die this time?" she said softly. "have no idea." The backlight of the phone was turned off, and it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.I am so close to her, the radiation of her body temperature can warm me.I twirled my fingers and reached out, just in time to touch her hand.Her hands were warm and slightly sweaty. "10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5..." Zhang Hao's voice seemed to be calling from the god of death. The hand was still in my palm for a moment, and I drew it back. I don't want to hold it anymore, the platinum ring with diamonds on her middle finger hurt my hand. "4! 3! 2! 1! 0!" Zhang Hao's voice in the earphones was sharp and piercing. When the time came, we felt each other shiver.But nothing happened, everything was quiet.I turned on the phone screen again, and Lin Lan, like me, was rolling his eyes left and right. "What's wrong?" She said after a while. "I don't know, maybe he's dead?" "Go out and have a look?" "Ok." Lin Lan and I returned to the circular office, and everyone who was still alive stood there in a daze.Zhang Hao's expression was pale, he held on to the microphone on the earphone tightly, and stared blankly at the countdown number displayed on the screen, the last display was "0".The only person who relaxed was Big Pig. This person had two lines of nosebleeds, let out a long breath, and relaxed his body against the back of the chair. "No bombing?" the general asked. "Target A fired." Zhang Hao said. "Did the defense hold up?" the general asked again. Big Pig picked up a paper towel and wiped the nosebleed carelessly, then nodded: "Yeah! Balanced." "At that time, I really thought it was over." Er Zhu took a sip of coffee. "What were you thinking then?" I said. "Hmm..." Er Zhu faltered. I snorted in my nostrils. With his little things, at most he was his first love girlfriend, and he was not easy to do. It is now 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and all the members of the bubble defense headquarters are dining in the staff restaurant on the fifth floor.It turned out that there were a bunch of white-collar men and women here, but now they are wearing white military uniforms.After that horrific bombardment of light streams, Delta abandoned the raid, and the gigantic mothership quietly retreated, along with the Predator battalion protecting it.All members of the headquarters stood silently in front of the ruins on the 31st floor for five minutes. The general ordered that the canteen on the fifth floor be open for dinner and invited everyone out.The gendarmes entered the circular office with body bags in silence, and Jiang Li patted me on the shoulder as they passed by. But generally speaking, it was a great fortune. The general said on the spot that he would apply for first-class merit for Big Pig. But Big Pig doesn't seem to care so much about first-class merit, and now he is sipping vegetable soup opposite me. "Aren't you afraid?" I said vaguely. "What am I afraid of? I can survive the light flow and hide in the safety cabin? Everyone will end up together! That's a direct bombardment equivalent to a hydrogen bomb." Big Pig licked his lips, "I thought you would die with me, so I will die." Don't be afraid." "I rely on you, you are strong. Go?" "Let's go!" The big pig and the second pig stood up after me and wiped their mouths. When we walked to the door, we met two people. At that time, I turned my head and said to Big Pig: "Go back to the empire! I will step on you and Su Wan! I won't be able to sleep tonight anyway." I was elated and full of domineering, at this time I turned my head and saw Lin Lan and a person walking in.I was stunned for a while, all expressions were frozen on my face, I should have moved away, but the three of us stopped there, blocking the intersection. It was a tall and powerful man with raised eyebrows and sharp eyes.This is a person who will naturally retreat when people see it. Lieutenant Colonel Commander of the 527th Column of the 7488th Army of the People's Liberation Army, and a top student at the Shijiazhuang Army Academy.He should be right under that piece of the Nanpu Bridge when we fix it.He is the field commander of the Shanghai Cannon, the only young officer who can participate in the regular staff meeting of the headquarters.I am very familiar with his face. Two years ago in Peking University Sports Center, a silent sharp man with a slight smile was invited to dance that salsa dance with Lin Lan. Lin Lan's fiancé - Lieutenant Colonel Yang Jiannan. Seeing that I didn't get out of the way, Yang Jiannan got out of the way, but I didn't go, my eyes fell on Lin Lan's face, Lin Lan just nodded at me. Yang Jiannan frowned. When a person like him frowned, there was an unconscious sense of fear, and the big pig pushed him behind. "Hello, Jiang Yang!" Someone called me from behind. I looked back and saw the boss waving at me.The boss is the general, the highest-ranking leader of the Shanghai Pao Defense Command of Unit 7488, and a technical cadre.In fact, he had been retired for a long time before the war started, and was recalled urgently.According to his own account, he was transferred to work as the vice president of a large state-owned military industry company at that time. Just as he was about to experience life, he put on the military uniform and took over a group of dolls in a blink of an eye.When I was recruited, there were not many people in the Shanghai Pao Defense Command, and the boss personally gave me training.At that time, we still didn't believe that the Delta civilization would really come. The boss had just returned from the company, and I was a college graduate. With the off-line role of Big Pig and Two Pigs, I wouldn't go anywhere seriously.Everyone listens to training during the day, and lives a happy life of drinking and spanking at night.So the general has a good relationship with me. I trot over. "Morrow, run for me to Yanggao South Road and deliver something for me." The general lowered his voice so that only I could hear it. "Oh, got it!" "Don't shout." The general frowned. "Oh." "Call Pan Hantian and Zeng Yu, and we'll have a meeting in the conference room on the 30th floor." The general turned and left. I turned around, and there were only two big pigs and two pigs at the door.I stood still for two or three seconds, and my upper arm ached. It was about three o'clock in the middle of the night when I returned to room 1103 of the Jicang Mandarin Hotel. The boss held an emergency meeting. Since the beginning of the war, it was the first time that the three command departments in Shanghai faced a devastating attack.If the center of CITIC Pacific Plaza is destroyed, we may not be able to form a new department in time to balance the defense interface.I can see that the boss has nothing else to do, he just emphasized the on-duty system to ensure that there is enough manpower to keep an eye on the energy distribution on the surface of the bubble defense at every moment.But I know that the danger this time has absolutely nothing to do with the on-duty system. In other words, the layer of bubbles we depend on for survival really failed to withstand the bombardment of the Delta mothership's main guns. That thing is too big. The question is, can that giant thing in lunar orbit be able to split off more of these large secondary motherships?neither knows. I opened a bottle of bottled water, opened the distributed notebook to check the letters, and there was a letter from my mother.During the war, the data traffic to the outside world was limited, and my mother could only send one email a week, packaged and sent with countless emails, and the data department distributed it to everyone after receiving it. I thought my mother was a miraculous woman. Before the war started, she bought the third house in my house with a lot of money, and just stared at a group of migrant workers to make it look like a standard hotel room. And she has just moved to the underground construction in Lanzhou, and she has already started snapping up quota indicators for temporary apartments.It's a pity that what the money is used for has been bothering her and her father. My mother said in the letter that a man twenty-four is not too young, and I am not the kind of diamond kingpin who is particularly promising, and the older he is, the more popular he is. Find a stable girlfriend early to cultivate relationships and get married in the future Having children, it is not good for girls to have children when they are old. Based on distrust of my own ability in this area, my mother reviewed all the girls I knew well, pointed to the photo clips in my notebook and asked them one by one about their family background, education, height and weight.My mother specifically mentioned Lu Yiyi in the letter. I know she is quite satisfied with Lu Yiyi's hard indicators. She is young and beautiful, has a big family, a decent family, and her height is a good match for me.Although it may be a little more self-willed at a younger age, my mother's concept is that all girls will grow into women, the difference is only in your hands or in the hands of others.Since Lu Yiyi is already so good, it is also a time investment to wait for this seedling with a good foundation to grow into a woman slowly.Mom creatively mentioned that college students are now allowed to get married, so maybe I can ask Fudan University if there are any special regulations. Then my mother mentioned Su Wan and Zhang Hao, saying that the military is not something that cannot be considered... Then she mentioned my arthritis, the problem of not eating on time, and the fact that I like to read text messages while crossing the road Faults, one by one must pay attention. But my mother didn't mention Lin Lan. I'm not surprised, because I haven't mentioned Lin Lan to her.How can I tell her about Lin Lan?I have no idea. I stared at the screen for a while.Sometimes I really don't understand, I don't know whether tomorrow will be life or death, and everyone can still think about this matter of family inheritance.Sometimes I balance the entire defense barrier, with cold sweat on my hands, thinking that maybe I typed a parameter wrong, and the light stream falling down like a meteorite will penetrate the barrier and turn the whole Shanghai into ashes.But is the Delta civilization really going to destroy us?I don't believe it, does it make sense to kill us?We're like little bugs who have wandered through the universe for countless light-years and are definitely not here to be exterminators.And for our land, since they can migrate so far, is it not easy to find a soil ball in the huge universe? Maybe we are insignificant at all, what they care about is the things left by the Alpha civilization, I once had the opportunity to take a look... Big Pig's head flashed back and forth on QQ: "Empire, empire." I said no, I'm going out for a cigarette. I sat on the steps outside the JC Mandarin Hotel and smoked.In fact, I usually don't smoke, but sometimes I suddenly feel that I can't pass the time, and I can't always eat mints. The opposite building, once one of the top office buildings in Shanghai, now has only the aluminum alloy skeleton on the outside, like a post-modern artwork.The wind swept through every floor, blowing the shutters and making it feel bleak.The power supply has been restored, including the brand-name boutiques on the five floors below that are still open.The glass of the window was not spared either, and the pale light illuminated the black and white advertising posters in the ARMANI window, which should have been photographed in New York. Fashionably dressed women walked across the street, holding their waists.I thought of my cousin and wondered what he was doing when New York was sinking. Someone patted me on the shoulder from behind, and I looked back, it was a big pig.He sat down next to me, and I handed him a cigarette, but he was not polite. "The death list is out, 17 people, Erzhu said on the phone just now." "Ok." "Haven't you seen the death list?" "No chance." "how old are you?" "Twenty-four, I have told you so many times, born on July 17, 1983, why can't I remember?" "So what if you remember?" Big Pig shrugged, "I'm not Lin Lan, you still expect me to give you a birthday present?" This sentence hit the little beast in me.In fact, it originally hid quietly in its burrow, but when it was scratched, it came out sad and angry, baring its teeth fiercely.I suddenly turned my head to look at the big pig, with a bad expression on my face. "Okay, okay, I know you will be sad when you say this, very sad, very sad." Big Pig stood up and patted his uniform, "I went to check, Er Zhu is still on duty, he is overdrawn tonight, Don't go away again." I ignore him. "Do you want to read "The Arabian Nights"?" The big pig sat down again. "have not seen." "There is a story in it. It says that a man wandered on an island and found a palace. The owner of the palace received him warmly. But after a few days, the owner of the palace wanted to go out, so he told him that you can do whatever you want here, but there are people. A door cannot be opened, you must remember my words. This guy has been playing in the palace for three months. He has tried everything he should eat, drink and play. See what’s inside the door. He opened the door, and it turned out that there was another world inside, with the most beautiful women, the most beautiful palace, the best food, in short, everything was the best, and he was regarded as the emperor’s offering. This guy thinks that the owner of the palace is afraid that I will find out his secret, so he doesn’t want me to open the door. No matter what happens, he enjoys it there. But suddenly one day, a huge eagle He flew here and took him away. When he woke up, he found that he had returned to the original palace, and the owner of the palace had returned. He wanted to go back very much, but the owner of the palace said that you can’t go back. Open it once to let you see the most beautiful things in the world, and you will have to be arrested again. I told you not to open that door for your own good, lest you regret it.” I stared at the big pig. The big pig shrugged: "Later, this person could not go back to that world no matter what. He missed the best things very much, but he knew that he would never get them in his life. So this guy was very melancholy afterwards, never Laugh. The story is called "The Story of the Man Who Never Laughed." How do you feel?" "It sounds quite bourgeois, and it's similar to the story in "Reader"." "Actually, I just want to say that you shouldn't have met Lin Lan. If you hadn't met Lin Lan, how perfect! You are quick-witted and innocent." Big Pig stood up again, patted the ashes on his buttocks, and left. Big Pig is a person who reads a lot. He organizes a reading list and posts it on his blog every year. Only a few people know about that blog. I sat there until the smoke burned my hands. I took out my mobile phone and sent Lin Lan a text message saying, "I'm sleepy, good night." A few minutes later Lin Lan replied, "Good night."
