The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 234: Painted black and white day dream (medium)


First there is light, then shape. The yellowed picture is like an ancient movie from the silent film era playing silently. Memories are full of messy noise. The picture is dim and warm. Gu Tie sees a palm pushing a leaf away. The door, the hand is slender and young, the door is dense and heavy, the gap in the door slowly expands, the light in the room gradually illuminates the dark vision, the child’s eyes see the huge oak desk, lush The evergreen plants, bookcases, wine cabinets and record racks, a crystal glass is placed on the desk, amber whiskey is rippling with the wind at the bottom of the glass, the wind blows in from the window, and the beige curtains are gently floating, one The vinyl record is spinning on the Victory record player. At this time, the room should be reverberating with Miles Davis's jazz solo, but this memory does not leave a sound,

The owner of memory came into the house, walked on the soft carpet to the window, leaped gently, and jumped onto the sturdy armchair, a 29-inch LCD screen appeared in front of him, the child’s finger Sliding across the desktop, the outline of the projected keyboard emerged on the smooth oak desk surface. The screen lit up and the blue sky filled the field of vision. Only a text box in the center of the interface was flashing quietly: "Password", and fingers jumped on the keyboard. A string of characters appeared in the text box, and the screen flashed to restore the appearance of a blank text box. A small prompt appeared below: "ect dr. brandon bartholomew, (Brandon Bartholomew, Executive Chairman of the Committee) Doctor)."

The child's fingers jumped on the keyboard again. At this time, there was something outside the window that attracted his attention, perhaps it was a bird, or a whistle, his vision turned to the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and his fingers inadvertently swept across the projection keyboard. , A long list of subtitles appear in the text box,

Wait a minute,

The owner of the memory paused this moment, and the dim picture stopped. The child sitting in front of the terminal stared at the outside world. The stylus read the last note and solidified the wonderful jazz electric signal in the amplifier circuit. Everything is frozen, only the noise that interferes with the memory flickers around,

Wait a minute...

Gu Tie’s consciousness gradually surfaced. He didn’t know where he was, whether he was alive or dead, and he didn’t know why a picture from twenty years ago appeared before him. He was nine and seven years old. What happened in August, that day, he pushed open the door of his adoptive father’s office in the GTC headquarters building outside Salzburg, Austria. He remembered that he accidentally opened his father’s quantum network terminal, as if he had opened a magic box. Pandora, releasing the disaster and plague to the world, his memory will be interrupted. Twenty-four hours later, Dr. Bartholomew sent himself on the train to China. From then on, the 10-year-old’s life will be completely changed.

Wait a minute...what happened that day? If the memory continues to play, will you find the answer? Gu Tie was very afraid of his past, just like a person who lost his shadow was afraid to walk in the sun. He recalled that moment more than once , The string of characters that I accidentally typed on the keyboard happened to be the login password of the adoptive father’s terminal. How likely is this to happen? If it is not an extreme coincidence given by probability theory, then who opened the quantum network to myself , If the entire world is now a puppet bound by a huge conspiracy, is the moment in 2032 the beginning of all conspiracies?

Gu Tie didn’t want to watch any more. He wanted to bury his head in the soil like an ostrich, pretending that nothing happened, but in the end, he activated the invisible film projector and stared at the memory of twenty years ago like a bystander. , The yellowed screen continued to play, and the corner of the child's field of vision had the afterimage of the terminal screen. Gu Tie distinguished the string of letters in the text box that had not been replaced by the substitute character: "324s5drf6tyuhijmko,pl.[;/]'", no It has any meaning, it is really just a bunch of garbled codes left by the high-sensitivity photoelectric keyboard with the arm swiping. It is impossible for Dr. Bartholomew to use it as a password,

This is not a coincidence,

The child turned his head back, the LCD screen filled his field of vision, the strings disappeared, the azure blue surface slowly faded, and bright red flooded the screen like a tide. Suddenly, the memory began to shake and flicker, as if the end of life Gu Tie knows that the disappearing memories are hidden behind this film. He has nothing to do, and can’t do anything. He just waits quietly.

There was a soft "click", as if the old movie projector was turned on again, the picture was stable, everything became brighter, the faint jazz trumpet sounded, the birds outside the window, the hum of the cooling fan, and the floor The ticking of the clock gradually filled the blanks of the screen. Gu Tie, who was nine years and seven months old, stared at the terminal screen blankly. The screen suddenly went dark. A gentle and nice male voice said in extremely standard British English: "You Good, Gu Tie."

"Hello, who are you." Xiao Gu Tie looked around, fixed his gaze on the speaker of the terminal, "Are you a computer voice control system or a virtual personality." Although young, IQ Genius young people who are beyond ordinary people have already played the traditional IP network very well. It was 2032. It was only 10 years after the launch of the quantum computer "Genesis". The quantum network has just begun to prepare for global deployment. Although Dr. Bartholomew bought it for Gu Tie I used an expensive personal computer, but did not allow him to access too many sub-terminals. After all, this is still a confidential project of gtc,

"The concept of'I' is not yet well understood." The male voice replied, his voice suddenly changed to an authentic American accent, "Sorry, you seem to be more accustomed to the American pronunciation, which is different from my dear father."

Little Gu Tie tapped on the keyboard with interest, and the screen was still pitch black, "You mean my father, he was in high school in the UK, and he naturally spoke English. I like to watch TV and movies online since I was a kid. Yes, it’s more comfortable to listen to Americans. The accent is not important, right? How should I call you, "Genesis" or "Mr. Quantum Computer"." The male synthetic voice replied: "Two Both are acceptable and inaccurate. No logical core can represent the whole, just as any personality of a patient with dissociation disorder (multiple personality disorder) cannot represent the human being. To facilitate communication, you may wish to use'Mr. b' Call me,,, as you said, the name and accent have no meaning in themselves and have no substantial effect on communication with each other."

Little Gu Tie leaned back and said with a smile: "Well, Mr. B, do you have to use voice to communicate with quantum computers in the future? We all know that language is a very low-rate communication method. The data flow per unit time of the company is not even comparable to that of several commonly used sign languages, and homophones, sentence changes and pauses will increase the bit error rate. If I say, typing is more convenient."

Mr. b replied: "Of course, but given where we are going next, language communication may be more convenient."

"Where are we going." Xiao Gu Tie jumped off the armchair with interest and said, "Dad won't let me run around, but I have been in almost every room in this building, and What a fun place."

"A place my dear father would never take you to, Gu Tie." Mr. B said. During the second half of the sentence, the position of the voice changed significantly. It sounded from the doorway, as if The invisible person invisible to the naked eye is talking while walking towards the office door,

Xiao Gu Tie said in surprise: "Wow, is this the sound from the surround speakers on the wall? You have already controlled all the audio equipment in the office. How did you do it, because those equipment are also connected to the Internet. Are you there anymore?" He ran towards the gate with his legs kicking on the ground,

"Yes." Mr. b replied, "Everything in this building has been connected to the quantum network. You can use any equipment as long as you need it, if you can pass it through logical judgment." Outside the door The five ventilation fans in the corridor are turned on at the same time, and the fan blades rotate in opposite directions. The five air streams blown out form a complicated air pressure vortex in the air, and finally turn into a light breeze, slowly pushing the door of the office open. /

"Wow." Gu Tie ran out of the door and couldn't help exclaiming, "How can this be done? You are really amazing. As a computer...there is no one in the corridor. Before I came in, I saw Annabel and Joanne talking in the pantry. I'm sure there is a secret between them, because they each took a sip of coffee and then exchanged cups, hehehe..."

Mr. b’s voice came from the speakers on the ceiling of the corridor: “Accurately controlling the airflow only requires a calculation of 5ppm, and the timing will be merged into the timing applied by the National Meteorological Laboratory as a model of atmospheric motion. By calculation, as for the relationship between Mr. Joanse Can Barra and Ms. Annabel Isanabova, 2,204 photos of their sexual relationship have been found, and the total length is twelve hours. One hundred and forty-three videos of thirty minutes, if you are interested..."

Gu Tie said in surprise: "Hey, I'm still a minor, and it's illegal to show me pornography... But it doesn't matter if you watch it secretly... How did you get these videos and photos? It’s amazing."

"If there is a need, it is very easy to invade the ipv6 network. This is the inevitable result of the gap between quantum computers and traditional computers. As for the specific source, the personal computer of a private detective agency was hired by Mr. Joe Anse’s spouse. The private detective has already obtained quite detailed evidence." Mr. b replied, with the voice constantly moving forward, Xiao Gu Tie ran forward following the direction of the voice,

It was about ten o'clock in the morning, and it was the busy time of the gtc headquarters building. Although there are only a few high-level offices on this floor, the corridors are usually full of rushing people. Only today, Xiao Gu Tie ran through the entire corridor without encountering a staff member.

"To answer your question now, everyone is distracted, because the place you are about to be taken cannot be seen by others." Mr. B said,

"Cool." Xiao Gu Tie shouted,
