Chapter 849: Disconnected
Chapter 849: Disconnected
I have always felt that the girls in my family may be a very easy group to support. Of course, this sentence needs to be understood from many aspects. I admit that Sandora’s appetite can scare the finance minister of a small and medium-sized country out of his mind. Come, but you must also realize the advantage of her not being picky about food at the same time, and this is what I mean. You see, Qianqian, Sandora, Pandora sisters, elder sisters, and even the eldest lady worth hundreds of billions, each of them has the strength to make several universes tremble when they sneeze, and they carry with them the fragments in the space. There is enough for this little blue planet to exchange for thirty years of GDP, but I can still lead them to eat fried skewers at roadside stalls and buy five yuan a piece from street vendors. Bracelet, the Princess of the Empire doesn't mind that her new toy is just two glass balls, and the Queen of the Empire doesn't care if her lunch directly covers the entire periodic table of elements: in fact, this is probably what she expected.
Not long after we went out, we met Lin Xue. Although this eldest lady did not live in our house, she had almost become a frequent visitor to this neighborhood. I couldn’t understand why such a family would allow one of its heirs to act so unscrupulously. Running around outside, I'm afraid Mr. Lin takes the most credit. Anyway, I was busy buying fried skewers for Sandora. By the way, I discussed with my sister whether to go to a theme park or a museum (Mercury Lamp particularly likes that place, although I think most of the family I am afraid there is no need for people to supplement their knowledge in the museum of mankind) While playing, the eldest lady floated in front of me.
It really happened - this girl Lin Xue was actually walking up and down the street in a goose-yellow dress in the chilly spring temperature of five degrees above zero. Her free and easy attitude had already reached the sky.
"I don't know whether it's hot or cold anymore because of my enhanced body. I don't know what to wear without looking at the calendar." Lin Xue waved her hands indifferently, her eyes falling on Sandora who was holding a lot of crunchy fried skewers. , "I'll go and lead the first family out, and you're going to feed Her Majesty the Queen this?"
"I feed her the same thing," I shrugged, casually wiping the sauce on the face of the little bubble in my arms, "I didn't see you coming over to eat when I woke up early."
"I'm almost too busy," Lin Xue glanced at us strangely, "I barely slept last night. Half of the people in the organization spent a sleepless night - I'll tell you what happened later. It's a big deal. Surprise. First, tell me what you are going to do?"
"Amusement park, or museum," I first patted Xiaobubu's little face, then turned slightly and touched the big backpack behind me. After confirming that no one was around, the zipper on the backpack was pushed open from the inside, and the mercury lamp was The little head poked a third of the way out, and a trace of happiness flashed in the crystal-clear red eyes. I smoothed the other girl's hair and said, "The two girls have different opinions again, and I don't dare to offend either of them."
"Who is your daughter? Who is your daughter? Who are you, daughter?" the mercury lamp crackled and shouted a lot in a low voice. He didn't want the subject, predicate, and guest, and then started to pull my neck hard, "Anyway, I want to go to the museum today. I want to go to the museum." You didn’t take me to see Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Rib Fork and Ancient Sea Anemone last time.”
I stretched out my hand and pinched the mercury lamp's nose, and stuffed her back into the hiking bag before she could protest. This girl, who protested firmly in the first half of the sentence, then acquiesced to her identity as a daughter and began to make demands openly and coquettishly. , I’m not being honest now, I’m kicking around in my hiking bag.
"I really don't know what kind of interest a doll would have in the ribs of a Tyrannosaurus rex."
I whispered in Lin Xue's ear, "The main reason is that I haven't gone out much in the past two days. My sister feels that I am about to grow mushrooms and it is necessary to come out for some air. But you, what on earth were you busy with last night." "
I asked this question, but my mind was already open. This is a habit I have developed after getting along with Lin Xue for a long time. It is interesting to guess how many things the prophet lady has seen before the other party speaks, although most of the time I All guesses proved to be too conservative. I think Lin Xue should already know what happened on the barrier star last night. Her not sleeping at night probably has something to do with it. The only thing I don't understand is that her "organization" stayed up all night.
"Go back first, we can't play today," Lin Xue patted me on the shoulder, acting like a good friend. Even though she was wearing an elegant dress, she was still so carefree. How should I put it, she was a little different. So cute, "All the theme parks in the city are my property. I guarantee that they will all be closed today because the communication lines need to be repaired. The museums should also be closed for similar reasons."
"Uh, what's going on?"
I could feel the black air suddenly starting to spread in the backpack behind me. Little Bubbles in my arms might not know what was going on, but the mercury lamp’s IQ was not comparable to Little Bubbles. She immediately knew that today was another day. I can only stay at home and be bored.
I was curious. The Shadow City is hundreds of kilometers in radius, and Avalon is almost a small country. In the macro world, as soon as she gets the princess order, she can take a 24-hour long-distance train without having to write a ticket. How can this girl like Mercury Lamp still read the watch? The World Museum of Paleontology is so interested, and so are the other guys in the family who hang out every once in a while. Is the fake street in Erliqiao more attractive than the Misaka Shopping Center in Shadow City?
"Do you feel that the streets are particularly quiet today? I mean there is no such messy stereo,"
Lin Xue poked my elbow and pointed around with her chin, "Besides, there aren't usually so many pedestrians here."
"I didn't notice it. It's usually like this here."
"Okay, this place is not as obvious as the city center," Lin Xue shook her head indifferently, "You didn't watch TV this morning?"
"TV?" I was stunned, "No, there are more than 20,000 channels from Xiling Media and Hongshijie. Who still watches TV? Now I just watch cartoons in the evening."
Lin Xue took a breath with her hands on her forehead, then took out a beautiful pink lady's mobile phone and waved it in front of my eyes: "This is not a Xiling information terminal disguised as a mobile phone. This is a special tool distributed by our organization. It is known as Something that can make video calls with the International Space Station without delay under the Mariana Trench, but now it has no signal. Go back first and talk as we go.”
I was stunned for a moment and kept up with Lin Xue, but the other party continued before we spoke: "The cutting-edge technologies of mankind are like this, and civilian ones are even worse. Civilian mobile phones, radio, television, the Internet, and some military communications Channels, as well as many strange and secretive satellite channels rented by organizations, are now down or blocked. Nearly 60% of the modern communication network was paralyzed between 10 and 12 o'clock last night. How many people on earth are these days? The information transmission system that we have been proud of for ten years experienced a two-hour massive cerebral thrombosis. I estimate that the world's government leaders were awake during that time last night - Americans are so lucky, it happened to be daytime. "
"Wow, it's so awesome." Qian Qian suddenly became excited, and then magically took out a radio station from her "pocket" and turned on the switch. A high-pitched noise immediately came from inside, "Full frequency band blocked? Human communication network is paralyzed? Such a world blockbuster Everything happened to Lin Xue and Lin Xue, what happened? You went to save the world with the superpower team last night? "
I had covered most of my face with my hands, expressing that I couldn't bear to see Qian Qian's slowness and lack of clarity of mind. Lin Xue stretched out her hands to hold Qian Qian's shoulders, with a particularly bright expression: "According to reliable information, human communication was interrupted last night. , the moon suddenly erupted with super-large-scale energy radiation. This has never happened to humans since they can remember. It was more powerful than the largest sunspots - did you know that the satellites launched by humans over the past twenty years were... A third of it was lost in two hours..."
"The history of human beings launching satellites should be more than twenty years, right?"
"But the oldest satellite can't hang in the sky for thirty years - let's talk about business," Lin Xue pinched me, "Now you know what's going on, right? It's all because of your pile of rags. This eldest lady is almost dead." Didn’t sleep a wink”
I asked Lin Xue to remind me, and suddenly, without realizing it, I slapped my forehead and shouted: "I'll go, why is there such a big movement this time?"
Everyone immediately followed suit and sighed loudly.
"Uh..." Lin Xue looked around helplessly at the crowd and shrugged, "A bunch of public enemies of mankind...wait a minute, they seem to have gotten me involved."
"Nonsense," I glanced at the sky with a complicated expression, then raised my hand and knocked Lin Xue on the forehead, "So don't say it's my pile of rags, it's also your rags, and you still have the title of the mistress of the empire. Woolen cloth."
"What's the specific situation? Is it serious?"
Shandora's voice interrupted the daily bickering and interaction between Lin Xue and I. As a leader, she is very aware of the importance of information systems for a civilized civilization. Therefore, although Lin Xue's tone is still so cynical, But she had become serious and began to ask how much impact this incident would have on human society.
"It's serious, not serious." Lin Xue waved her hands and walked in front, looking like she didn't have any psychological pressure at all. "The civilian communication network is basically finished. There are one-third fewer satellites in the sky. In a few days, ordinary people will probably It sounds scary to return to the FM era, but such serious situations are only concentrated in the civilian field. Official and military things are special. Although they have also been affected, the most important lines are still usable. Now When the old men show off their power, let's see how they use their old experience to restore the neural network of human society in the shortest time. You know, when there were only a dozen satellites in the world, the planet was rotating normally... "
"I hope it's true as you said." Somehow I began to worry about the country and the people. "I remember reading a paper before, which said that once the human communication system is paralyzed for more than forty-eight hours, the world will start to knock on the door. Toll the knell…”
"Yes, but fortunately this time it is not completely paralyzed, but hemiplegic. As long as the information trunk line on the earth is not destroyed, those big guys can still see through cable video that their nuclear bombs are still staying in the silo. No one else's nuclear bombs jumped out, so everything is easy to say. In fact, through various emergency channel switching, a few hours have passed, and the communications on the earth have now been restored to 50%, and the repair speed is amazing. You know, Those satellites all have bandwidth margin, and in a disaster situation, it is not impossible for them to be overloaded and bear the entire earth's communications in a short period of time."
A few of us were wandering around the streets, worrying about the country and the people while talking about things that might have affected world peace. Little Bubble had already eaten the fried skewers on the back of my head, while the mercury lamp was on the mountaineering bag. I muttered about the Tyrannosaurus Rex's ribs and her white teeth. I felt that the scene now was really subtle: the moon base was hit by three craters, human civilization was facing a crisis of no big or small size, and leaders all over the world were We are sweating on our foreheads staring at the nuclear bombs or other things that are still in our sight for the time being, and we are the indirect responsible persons for all this. As the responsible persons, we wander in a medium-sized city in China, leading I have a wife, children, and pets, eating fried skewers that cost 10 yuan and 11 pieces. When discussing world peace, I also mixed in the question of how to make braised eggplant more delicious. When I think about this for a moment, I feel that I am really guilty.
"Speaking of which, where's your car?"
I turned my head and glanced at Lin Xue. Usually when she comes over, she always drives her very cool, beautiful and cool red sports car. It is said to be this young lady’s favorite car. After driving through the imperial military After the shuttle and the stealth service ship, the eldest lady has such a soft spot for a sports car produced on Earth, which shows how much she favors it. Even in this urban area where relatively wealthy people gather, she can drive her car. A sports car will attract a lot of attention when driving around, but today we didn't see Lin Xue driving it.
"Also, don't tell me, I forgot." The eldest lady immediately pointed at me with a grin on her teeth, "I estimate that you also killed 70% of the world's high-end cars, but I have saved a lot of money over the years. Sports car, all the chips are burnt. Today I came here in my brother's old car. That little bastard took Sally for a ride and dropped me off as soon as we reached your street..."
Lin Xue muttered and complained, which made me burst into laughter. I thought it was deserved. It is made from the earth. The more high-tech it is, the more I can’t help but toss it. This is because the car chip has burned out. You have to ride a bicycle. , even if Viska is really tuned to vibrate, it won’t delay your trip.
"Okay, okay, this counts as your loss of work, can the royal family compensate you?" I smiled at Lin Xue, "I will compensate you with the 'Golden Throne' royal shuttle shuttle, which is guaranteed to be more stylish than your sports car—— Absolutely no one on earth has ever run it.”
"Commuting to and from get off work at three-quarters of the speed of light, you think this young lady isn't bothered enough right now, right?"
Lin Xue gave me a side kick on the spot. Little Bubble reacted quickly and jumped down to protect me, biting Lin Xue's ankle. The eldest lady suddenly shouted: "Hey, what's going on with this unlucky kid? Yesterday I was still I’m holding her and kissing her.”
Nonsense, when parents fight, who is the father? This is the logic of Little Bubble.
I picked up Little Paopao and continued to hang it on my shoulders, smiling proudly at the eldest lady, while Little Bubble reported the results of the battle, then asked Sandora for a fried skewer, and continued to unswervingly The sweet noodle sauce hit the back of my head.
The scene on the street is still the same as usual. Ordinary people don’t know what happened or what is going on. Those who should buy groceries buy groceries, those who should walk around, and those who should quarrel are still quarreling. The global communications satellite failed three times. To them, one part is as far away as the moon being hit with a hammer three times. It seems that the professionals have done a good job of covering up this unusual event. I heard some people complaining loudly to others on the side of the road that their TVs were malfunctioning early in the morning. Others were silently staring at their mobile phones that had no signal. When they suddenly lost the messy sounds they were accustomed to in their lives, After that, many people seemed at a loss, but some people walked out of their homes to chat with neighbors they hadn't seen for a long time. After losing their mobile phones and the Internet, the distance between people became longer, and the distance between hearts became longer. The distance suddenly narrowed. You see, we can also be artistic - but those people who are chatting at the door in the cold wind of 5 degrees above zero are also really strong, don't you feel cold?
Today's outing plan came to nothing, and the girls at home could only continue to do nothing. Pandora took her sister to the Shadow City, saying that she wanted to conduct some follow-up inspections for Visca, and by the way, see if there was anything new in the research on the three wrecks. Progress, Sandora also followed, but she was going to Avalon - she planned to get rid of Dingdang's remaining fish, and there weren't many left anyway...
Bubble turned on the TV in the living room. The screen was pitch black as we expected, with only a few English letters in the center: nodate. It was like this after changing many channels. There were only a few channels with one lag and one lag. For local programs, the signal strength is basically ignored. Lin Xue told us that in fact, all those civilian channels are not paralyzed. It is just that under the premise of fully ensuring official communications, the civilian channels can only take a back seat, and the excess bandwidth is used Crowding, or artificial interruption, to prevent someone from taking advantage of troubled waters and causing chaos in the world. This statement was quickly confirmed, because after changing channels, we finally found a channel with normal signals and clear programs, without a station logo. There was no program name or small advertisement. Just a poker-faced man announced in a single voice that the cause of the communication interruption was sunspot activity, and told the public that everything was under control. The government had already anticipated similar incidents, and the sun Sunspots are just a non-fatal natural phenomenon. Everything will recover soon. There is no need for ordinary people to panic. The only impact of this incident on human society is that you cannot steal food in time... The latter sentence is added by me.
The host began to explain what sunspots were, but Paopao pulled out a thin blue beam from her hair. After connecting this wire-like but insubstantial "cable" to the TV, she Start using the only remaining military channel in mankind to connect to the Blizzard server...
"I'm xerror35." Bubble's head was connected to wires and he jumped up from the sofa. "Her dad, let's take action quickly."
I:"……"
