Shen Xuan

The magnetic field is stable, the temperature control system creates a feeling of spring, and the air circulation system runs happily.

Shen Xuan and his companions stood at the entrance of the elevator, admiring the brightly lit Toad Palace and the results of their work for the last time.This place is so vast that it seems that there is only space. The staff cabin and main control room similar to the Edward space station are distributed on two wings that are insignificant in space, while the energy cabin is located in another sublunar space adjacent to this place, isolated from each other.

Crowds of staff came out from various places to bid them farewell and some left with them.Everyone took the elevator to the lunar surface together, and walked back to the place where the spacecraft was parked.Shen Xuan looked back at the toad palace where she had lived for three months for the last time, and found that she was still as excited as when she saw it for the first time three months ago.What a romantic place.

In addition to their spacecraft, there is another launch point at the edge of Imbrium.Many staff members boarded the spacecraft, so it launched first, and quickly shrunk into a meteor in the universe; after the two had a large enough distance, the spacecraft Shen Xuan was riding on also started.

They waved to their colleagues in the porthole, and the spacecraft made a faint roar and left the moon after its predecessor.Shen Xuan looked away from the moon and found the Edward space station.

It appears small and indistinct on the far left of the spacecraft, appearing to have just entered the shadow cast by Earth.It stretches the photoelectric semiconductor thin sheets like wings on both sides, like a steel Kunpeng flapping its wings.

It is moving, slowly rotating around the central axis, as if adjusting the angle.Then the power cabin on the lowest floor lit up, and it looked like sparks from such a long distance.The energy generated by nuclear fusion propels the entire space station to start moving towards them. According to Shen Xuan's visual observation, the direction is roughly perpendicular to the return route of the two spacecraft.

The brightness of the power cabin suddenly rose, and it was accelerating.

"Did you see it?" The boy sitting next to her tried to lean his body towards the porthole, "What is the space station doing?"

Before she could answer, his communication bracelet rang shrilly, especially piercing in the uneasy silence.Trembling, he pressed the answer button.

"Brother! Can you hear me?"

There was a shout on the other end of the phone, and the boy visibly froze.Shen Xuan felt that his heart was already in his throat.

"What's the matter? Brother, what's the matter with you? The space station——"

"It's coming at us! On the spacecraft I'm sitting on..."

"I won't hit it," he clenched his fists. "In unmanned driving, the AI ​​will dodge obstacles, so it won't hit it."

And the brother on the other side of the phone smiled wryly: "You forgot, Edward is also unmanned. Its AI knows our evasion route."

"But...but, you..."

Shen Xuan raised his head and glanced at the cramped spacecraft cabin, and found that everyone was staring at the extremely fast space station outside the window, their faces pale as paper.

"Goodbye, brother, go back and tell Mom and Dad that I—"

The elder brother's voice stopped abruptly, and the younger brother finally cried out.Her mind went blank... until she saw the communication bracelet on the left wrist of the boy next to her.The wristband is flashing, and the seconds of the call are still beating.Still beating?

She reached out to touch him, and at the same moment there was a new commotion in the cabin, and she heard someone whisper:

"It turned."

it turned?Shen Xuan hurriedly leaned on the porthole.I saw that the huge Edward space station made a sharp turn at a place almost close to their flight path, just like a giant kun dived into the vast deep sea. .The flash of nuclear fusion drew a beautiful arc on the solidified earth background, and then dimmed. Edward returned to the low-earth orbit, from one porthole to the other porthole...

The people in the cabin looked at each other with infinite doubts and fear. The wristband of the boy next to him rang again, pouring out the cheers and crying from another spacecraft to the silent crowd.

Big gasping sound. "...It...it avoided it! It avoided it!"

"Oh my god."

The younger brother held his head, and seemed to be on the verge of madness: "Who can tell me what the hell is going on?"

Han Zixi

The Edward space station had entered the shadow of the earth, which was a great cover she could not hope for.

The shadow covered Han Zixi's whereabouts.She stumbled through the transition pod and into the main control room.The main control room in the shadows was almost invisible. She knelt in front of the console and groped for a while, and quickly found a USB port.

While praying silently, Han Zixi took out the USB flash drive that stored the copied version of Cuihua from his pocket, and inserted it smoothly.

"Our artificial intelligence with a complete and firm personality is to the intelligent system of ordinary computers, just like reefs are to waves, and steel is to flowing water." Cuihua once said to her, "Even the AI ​​of the Edward space station, in our opinion, is also Vulnerable. Don’t worry at all, for us, they are inherently vulnerable. You have indeed found the right person, and I will be your hacker, as long as you can forgive my mistakes..." Her smile was gentle and Danger.

As I suspected back then, online humans are indeed a threat to humans.Han Zixi thought.

There was no response after inserting the USB flash drive, but Han Zixi waited patiently in the dark.Gradually, loudspeakers distributed throughout the space station began to rustle louder and louder, as if fighting came from an invisible battlefield.

The voice suddenly disappeared, and the next moment Cuihua's sweet voice sounded in the main control room, which sounded like heaven to Han Zixi:

"Zixi, I can create opportunities for you in about 10 minutes."

Han Zixi felt that more and more blood had seeped into the bandage, but she had completely forgotten about the pain.She stood up and groped for the manual valve on the edge of the console. She folded her hands, and without hindrance, she clenched her teeth and pulled it down.

…When you pull down the manual valve, you can manually control it, and those buttons are for the brave man who dares to control the entire space station with his bare hands.She thought of the summer vacation to the virtual space station for the first time, and the generous head teacher, but nothing else.Warrior... The corners of her mouth rose slightly.I am the warrior, the martyred warrior.

The console lights up.Han Zixi propped his hands on the stage, facing the half of the earth wandering outside the transparent bulkhead: "Search the nearby space, looking for spacecraft or space junk."

The operating system hacked by Cuihua immediately faithfully carried out her orders.A thumbnail image of the vast space between the Earth and the Moon emerges on the bulkhead, on which the spacecraft is marked with red dots, and the white dots represent space junk; The space station is very close, about one hundred thousand kilometers away, and the other seems to have just taken off from the moon.She manipulated the cursor calmly and placed the cross circle on the closer spacecraft.The effect of the explosion of the fuel tank inside the spacecraft is worth 100 yuan of space junk.

There is not much time left, and the Edward space station and the damn online world behind it will soon be destroyed by my impact, and I... She was surprised and deserved to find that I will finally go to the death I dreamed of.

"Edward, aim at the target and never stop before impact. Adjust direction and speed up!"

There was a roar of thunder in the power cabin, and the sound spread far to the main control room, echoing endlessly between the walls, covering her crazy laughter.She stood in front of the console, the earth was blurred into a blue shadow in the corner of her eyes, and the brilliant Milky Way was in front of her eyes, she felt her heart throbbing for a moment.The largest multi-module space station in human history, carrying her and all her hatred and desires, is speeding away towards the distant spacecraft, just like the roaring bomber in the game; Han Zixi's eyes are fixed on the thumbnail Tu, seeing the distance between the two shorten rapidly, just like her bitter life.

Her life is bitter, Han Zixi is so sure.A broken family, a distorted and grotesque personality, a conflicting body trapped in a virtual illusion, and a person... She has always been a person.From birth to death, in the 21 years of life, has anyone ever accompanied her?She thought guiltily of her mother, of the group of happy elementary school students, and that was all the memories.

Her eyes wandered and wandered briefly, and she saw the moon in the corner of the thumbnail.After the moon is slightly shrunken, it is a silver circle.Han Zixi seemed to be strangled suddenly, unable to breathe.

Qin Jia told me...he said she went to the moon.

The space station continues to accelerate, and the screen shows that there are still 2000 kilometers away from the spacecraft, which is almost close at hand.

"Turn! Avoid it!!"

Han Zixi yelled, and was suddenly thrown off the stage by a sudden turn, hitting his head against the wall.

Before she fell into a coma, she heard the scream of the replica Cuihua.Is it antivirus software?It seems she can't hold on anymore... Han Zixi thought vaguely.Artificial intelligence can also make such a miserable sound.

"Zixi...I,...Am I still your friend? Are you willing to forgive me?"

My head hurts, I feel dizzy, and I can't see anything.Is this Cuihua talking?Or another voice in my head, her voice.

"I will, I will, I will." At the end, she whispered.
