It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

By then, the Volunteers will surely ignite the prairie fire in Manhattan again, and the order of Manhattan and even the entire Massachusetts will be rewritten by the Volunteers!

0187 But 550A can do it

"What kind of crappy game is this! My quantum computer is stuck while playing it?"

Denise wanted to throw the mouse and keyboard. But because 550A was too precious, she put the mouse back as soon as she lifted it up. However, what Denise didn't know was that her angry words had been recorded by 550A's microphone.

Two days later, in a well-known "I'm your boss whether you spend money or not" game company, the project managers and operations officers of the two games "Jian Jian Jian" and "Shun Feng Nuan" reported to the CEO at the same time, saying that the clients of the two games had been tampered with by hackers and all clients were forced to upgrade.

However, the reason why the hacker's tampering was not labeled as "malicious" this time was because all players said on the official forum that "the pig farm finally replaced the monkey programmers with humans" after updating the client.

Yes, the good news brought by the tampering of the client is that their game no longer lags when running on PC. But the bad news is that although the monkey programmers in the pig farm were shocked by the refined code that was comparable to textbooks, they found that the new version with nearly 80% development progress was incompatible with the client!

Now the question is for the game company that is forcibly acting as your father. Should it continue to use the tampered client and redevelop a new version of the game? Or should it switch back to the old shit-mountain client, withstand the pressure from its "children and grandchildren", and continue development with 80% of the progress?

The time has come to test (at least if there is any) human nature!

Our gaze returns to the hotel’s underground base.

Denise, who had promised to go for the cool and elegant queen look, was now standing in front of Boss Cheng like a child who had made a mistake, rubbing her lapels with her hands.

"In the past month, you have stopped being addicted to short videos and online shopping, and started to become addicted to online games again, right?"

Denise continued to rub her lapels without saying anything.

"You play games, so you play them, and you spend a lot of money, right?"

Denise still didn't speak.

"You can spend money if you want, but you have to use my phone to spend money, right?"

Denise lowered her head and muttered softly, "The game was registered with your mobile number. Using my mobile number to pay always requires verification, which I find troublesome. I'll spend your money, I promise..."

"It's only tens of thousands of dollars, so this is not a matter of money, understand!" Boss Cheng emphasized: "The problem is that you can't just play games! Didn't you agree to work part-time as a swordsmanship teacher at the school? The school in the backyard has been open for two weeks, you have to show up!"

"Oh." Denise nodded, "I'll go to school soon."

Just as Boss Cheng said, when it came to September, the school specially designed to solve the education problems of school-age children in Poxiao Town had already been in session for two weeks.

But to be honest, the current school cannot be called a school, but more like a large childcare institution. They are all in the first grade, the youngest is only 6 years old, and the oldest is approaching the end of puberty.

Fortunately, regarding the school, Boss Cheng only needs to provide the teaching building. All other problems will be solved by Hanzo. Besides, in such a large town like Dawn, it is enough for the parents to have a place to look after their children.

After all, the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom are still fighting, and the Water Kingdom is currently in a situation of internal and external difficulties due to its suicidal behavior some time ago.

Then again, I wonder how those dozens of Genin are doing now after returning to the Land of Water with their "severance pay".

That's a lot of "severance pay"! Although it's a bit difficult to overthrow the Mizukage's rule with that money, it should be enough to support two or three larger rebellions.

"Um..." Denise hesitated, and finally spoke after a long while: "When you were away a few days ago, Hanzo asked me to do a small thing. I agreed to it without your consent. You won't be angry with me, right?"

"You didn't even tell me anything, how would I know if I would be angry?"

"It's not a big deal." Denise organized her words a little and continued, "Recently, the war between the Wind Country and the Fire Country has intensified, and the friction and conflict between the two countries and the Rain Nation has become more frequent. As you know, our Dawn Town not only has refugees from the Rain Country, but also a lot of war refugees from the Wind and Fire Countries."

"Just tell me! Since you mentioned refugees, I'm sure what you promised Hanzo must be related to refugees."

"Yes, yes, it's related!" Denise didn't explain any more. She went straight to the point and told Boss Cheng: "I promised Hanzo that I would take in the war orphans from the Rain Country and the Wind and Fire Countries."

Boss Cheng nodded calmly.

"Okay, that's great. I agree."

"Hehehe, I knew you would agree!"

"But the question is..." Boss Cheng asked again: "Why are there war orphans from the Fire Kingdom and the Wind Kingdom? Don't the two countries care?"

Denise shook her head and admitted that she didn't quite know either.

"Maybe he followed other refugees to the Rain Country."

"I don't mind." Boss Cheng shrugged and said, "At worst, we can negotiate with the two countries after the war is over and ask them to take away the orphans who are willing to return home. They are just children anyway, just a hundred or so mouths to feed. It's not like we can't afford to feed them."

"There aren't that many people! The orphans found by Yuyin Village are probably only about fifty or sixty. But these children are still in Yuyin Village, and it will probably take some time before they can be sent here."

Boss Cheng shook his head, then sighed and left. Denise knew that Boss Cheng didn't want what happened to them to happen to other children. After all, the lives of all the members of Spartan III Alpha Company were shrouded in hatred.

Boss Cheng had just walked out of the underground base and returned to the hotel kitchen when a clerk from the UNSC scientific expedition base hurried over to find him with a walkie-talkie.

five two six six five two two five one

"Eh? You found a fully enclosed shelter? It's on a small hill about 5 kilometers north of the base?"

Let's go back about 4 hours to 9 am this morning.

Recently, Black Preston has been serving as a guide or tour guide for the scientific expedition team, leading the expedition's reconnaissance team to conduct a "wandering" exploration with Concord as the center.

After all, even the reconnaissance team themselves didn't know what they were looking for, so they wandered aimlessly in the wasteland with the mentality of "whatever we find is fine".

Today, Xiao Hei suddenly proposed to go to the north of Concord on behalf of the reconnaissance team. He said that behind the community called Sanctuary Hill, there was an elevator that went directly underground. He also suspected that there was a shelter under the elevator that was unknown to Boston residents.

"Many people suspect there is a shelter underneath. But over the years, no one has been able to activate the lift. So no one has ever seen what is underneath the platform."

When the reconnaissance team arrived at the elevator platform behind the Shelter Hill and conducted some investigation, they finally understood why the elevator platform could not be used normally as Xiao Hei said.

Because the external control system of this lift platform had been completely destroyed. To be more precise, someone deliberately took away only the control unit of the lift, as if this place had always been protected by someone.

A control unit might be difficult for the residents of the wasteland, but it was not difficult for the reconnaissance team. They asked a person who knew circuits from the base to assemble a simple control unit on the spot for emergency use. Ma Zhao, who came in a hurry, lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully activated the lifting platform that had not been used for at least decades in just 8 minutes.

The group successfully reached the underground shelter with "111" written on the sealed door through the elevator. However, they stopped in front of the door of Shelter No. 111.

Xiao Hei came to the external controller of the shelter gate, skillfully turned on the intercom, and told the purpose of the group's visit. However, the intercom was clearly in working condition, and the shelter gate also showed "powered on". However, there was no human voice coming from the speaker above the shelter gate, only the "rustling" low noise of the speaker when it was powered on.

"Is there anyone in there?"

"Swish..."

"Is there anyone alive inside?"

"Swish..."

"If you don't answer, we will use force to open the door to the shelter!"

"Swish..."

Xiao Hei patted the leader of the reconnaissance team and told him to save his energy. He said, "The people inside are either all dead or have all fled. This situation is not uncommon. Some shelters where all the people died were even occupied by gangs or looters."

"But...why did the people in the shelter die?"

Xiao Hei shrugged and told the reconnaissance team: "The residents of the wasteland basically know that the shelters built by Shelter-Tec were never used for refuge."

“If the shelter is not used for shelter, then what can it be used for?”

"It is said that they are used for some kind of experiment." Xiao Hei shook his head helplessly, "Sorry, I don't know anything about this, so I can't give you a definite answer."

"Then how do we get in?"

Xiao Hei pointed to a hole on the control panel that looked like a four-core Canon interface and told the reconnaissance team: "This is a keyhole. Only with a special electronic key can the door of the shelter be opened from the outside."

"Electronic?" asked the captain.

"It is said that it is, but I have never seen it." Xiao Hei spread his hands and shook his head helplessly, "That thing is rare in the wasteland."

"You just can't open the door?"

Xiao Hei nodded and said, "You can say that."

Not long ago, Ma Zhao, who had just opened the lifting platform, took apart the control panel by himself. No one understood what he was looking at, let alone what he was sorting out. Anyway, not long after, he told others:

"It's an electronic key. It should use a special formula to match the password that changes in real time. If you don't use the key, you can only force the door open."

"So, should we just..."

"No, there is a way!" Ma Zhao interrupted the captain and told him: "We can't do it, but 550A can!"

0188 Just started to die

Miniaturized quantum computers are extremely valuable, so valuable that even verification machines like the X550 are hard to come by.

There are only three 550As, two of which are in the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, and the last one is in the hands of Boss Cheng. Even in the end of the world, the verified X3 is still in use. As for other scientific research departments that need the computing power of 550A, they can either apply to borrow it from the Academy of Sciences or the Academy of Engineering, or wait patiently for the China Micro Quantum Research Institute to make a new one.

After all, the birth of the X550 micro-quantum computer means that all the supercomputers currently in service in the world have completely become "non-essentials" that can be eliminated at any time. Even a supercomputer as powerful as Taihu Light, which has a peak computing power of more than 10 trillion times per second, has a computing power not even one ten-thousandth of that of the X550!

If you need TaihuLight to calculate something for a month, you can put it on X550 for calculation. Maybe X550 will give you the calculation result as soon as you finish entering the command.

Therefore, Ma Zhao used the radio to notify the base and asked them to find Boss Cheng, just to ask Boss Cheng to bring 550A to open the door.

Ma Zhao's idea of ​​using a quantum computer to decipher the code of an antique vacuum tube was unique. But then again, it was actually Ma Zhao's first time to play with such an ancient thing, and he was afraid that he might accidentally lock the door of the shelter.

About ten minutes later, the investigation team saw Boss Cheng riding a blue loaded human-powered tricycle in front of the broken bridge of Shelter Hill. However, the precious 550A was not in the back of the tricycle, but was carried on Boss Cheng's back. In the back of the tricycle were packed lunch boxes and Wangba Temple salty soda that was about to expire.

The lunch boxes and salty soda were all requested by Ma Zhao. After all, except for Ma Zhao, the members of the reconnaissance team and Xiao Hei had not eaten lunch yet.

So, the others and Xiao Hei sat on the iron rack outside the gate of Shelter No. 111 and ate their boxed lunches. Many of the team members left the room before eating, fearing that their precious power armor would be dirty.

Anyway, the radiation level in the cave has always been at an absolutely safe level, so even if you take off your armor, you don't have to worry about being contaminated or hurt by nuclear radiation.

Boss Cheng, who was wearing a pink "I'm Not a Human Being" short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and Crocs, stood beside Ma Zhao with his hands on his waist. He watched Ma Zhao cut a USB cable with a knife, and then cut the wire connected to the keyhole of the shelter door and connected it to the USB cable.

Then, the red light outside the shelter's main door flashed. The heavy gear-shaped steel sealed door also rumbled. Ten seconds later, a series of "bang bang" sounds came from behind the main door. After the sound stopped, the main door was suddenly pulled back by a huge mechanical force.

The door then rolled to one side of the inside of the shelter, and a suspended telescopic passage extended from the shelter and connected to the metal bridge outside the door.

The road was finally open. Ma Zhao looked at 550A in amazement.

"I didn't do anything!"

Boss Cheng, who knew that there was a highly intelligent and abnormal AI hidden in the computer, quickly tried to smooth things over and explained to 550A, "Maybe it's the same reason why the fingerprint lock automatically unlocks when it is impacted by the Tesla coil. Maybe the system that manages the gate has been restarted by the computer."

Ma Zhao asked his boss, "Do you think I could believe it?"

But no matter what, the door of the shelter was indeed opened by 550A.

Those who were eating lunch boxes outside the door continued to eat their lunch boxes. Not only did they not rush in, but they even stepped back a long way, fearing that the strange smell coming from the shelter would affect their appetite. Anyway, the door was open, so there was no need to rush to eat. It was impossible for the door of the shelter to close by itself while they were eating.

This was not a bad omen. At least after they slowly finished their lunch boxes, drank up their salty soda, and cleaned up the garbage after the meal, the door of the shelter was still wide open.

"Attention team! All personnel enter power armor and put on helmets. Enter Shelter 1 in 111 minute."

"Yes!"

Next to the team, Little Black Preston had also gotten into the power armor. Only Boss Cheng and Ma Zhao stood there, staring at each other.

"Where is your power armor?" the boss asked Ma Zhao.

"They didn't let me wear a power armor!" After saying that, Ma Zhao also asked Boss Cheng: "What about yours?"

"You didn't tell me to wear it when you called me on the radio!"

"How about..." Ma Zhao suggested, "I think we should not go in and cause trouble for others."

"But I'm still curious about what's inside!"

Ma Zhao pointed at the leader of the reconnaissance team and said, "Did you ask them if they let you in?"

"But you have to go with us!" The captain pointed at Ma Zhao and said, "What if we run into any more difficult problems in there?"

"But I'm not wearing..."

Indeed. According to the base regulations, personnel without power armor are prohibited from performing any missions that may involve unknown risks. But this has never been a problem for the captain. He pointed to a team member who was about the same size as Ma Zhao and ordered him to give his power armor to Ma Zhao.

The scout without power armor will follow Boss Cheng back to the base, and then change into power armor before returning to the team. Boss Cheng also wants to put on CMC power armor and join in the fun. So the scout got into the back of the tricycle. Boss Cheng rushed back with the team members at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.

When Boss Cheng and the reconnaissance team returned to Shelter No. 111 wearing power armor, they found that they were playing a "mini-game" of stepping on mutant cockroaches inside the shelter.

Although Boss Cheng has encountered a super-evolved true Guangdong cockroach EX that is over 30 cm long in the wasteland, when Boss Cheng saw the size of the cockroaches in the shelter, he suddenly realized that the cockroaches outside were all small ones. After all, a cockroach that is over 60 cm long and requires a scout wearing a power armor to jump up and smash it down to ensure that it is stepped on to death is not just big!

You said that it will evolve into a cockroach bully in the next second and Boss Cheng can accept it.

"Stop stepping on it! Use a gun instead!"

Yes, after all, the internal organs, feces and other sticky things that sprayed out when the cockroaches were smashed made the power armor of several people look like they had just crawled out of a cesspool.

"Hey, go help Ma Zhao. The filter of his helmet is covered with cockroach feces."

Fortunately, the group found a small shower room in the shelter. Even more fortunately, the water supply system in Shelter 111 was still functioning normally, and the stored water was not contaminated by radiation. The guys who were sprayed with cockroaches were able to wash off the sticky stuff on their bodies.

"Hey! Come here as soon as you're clean!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Zhao and his team immediately rushed to where the sound came from. At this time, Boss Cheng and the captain were checking several things that looked like refrigerators and escape pods.
