When Buckle Murphy passed the layers of tests and walked out of the laboratory, on the tarmac outside the laboratory, a small helicopter had already been ordered to wait for a long time.
Buckle Murphy walked into the helicopter, and suddenly the helicopter started up quickly, flying out of the forest along a narrow and winding path.
After flying for a short distance, the winding path under their feet had completely disappeared. All that was left in front of them was a dense forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. They even had to cross over dozens of mountain ridges. The helicopter flew for half an hour before leaving the forest and arriving at the end.
Here, a large military base suddenly squeezed into Buckle Murphy's field of vision.
It was not until the helicopter landed on the ground that Buckle Murphy jumped out of the helicopter with the help of several soldiers. At the same time, four or five people in the barracks in front of him also came up to greet him.
"Father."
A middle-aged man with a ponytail walked at the front. When he saw Murphy, he immediately looked attentive. "I brought you something. I believe you'll be shocked after seeing it."
"Don't keep me in suspense."
Buckle Murphy waved his hand and walked toward the barracks in the whirlwind of the helicopter. As he walked, he said, "As a 'shield bearer', my time is very limited. Also, this week, I'm the chairman of the Quantum Deity Conference. If you have anything, bring it to me quickly."
"Yes."
The middle-aged man walked into the barracks, then took out a text and handed it to Buckle Murphy.
"What's this?"
Buckle Murphy took the text, gently turned to the first page, and suddenly raised his eyebrows. "James Watson's hospitalization medical record?"
"Please continue reading, Father."
The middle-aged man said solemnly, "This case isn't simple. I'm sure you've heard that two months ago, James Watson was the victim of an assassination attempt. He should've died, but Blackwatch Corporation developed a new technology and somehow managed to save him."
"Oh?"
Murphy's expression also became completely solemn when he heard this. He walked to the table on the side in two or three steps, sat on a chair, and carefully flipped through it.
With this look, the surprise in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and he even gradually frowned.
Time gradually turned from afternoon to night. The bright stars slowly rose from the end of the forest. The starry sky was extremely bright. This was a magnificent starry sky that could only be seen in Yellowstone Park.
It was not until the ground outside the barracks was sprinkled with starlight that Murphy rubbed his dry eyes and put down the medical record in his hand.
"Father?"
The middle-aged man immediately walked over.
"Hehehe …"
Murphy laughed in a low voice. "AI chips that replace the brain, nano-level electrodes, and NSR implants... Can they even repair brain injuries?"
"Father, do you think it's fake?"
The middle-aged man was surprised. "We're not sure either. If this technology appears in any other research institution, I'd say it's fake, but if it's Blackwatch..."
"I don't know if the case is real or not, but I want to know what these patterns are."
However, Murphy just shook his head, picked up one of the pieces of paper, and stood in front of his son. "I noticed before that there are such patterns on every page, and they are not the same. There are a total of three patterns."
"This must be a watermark."
The middle-aged man was a little hesitant. "It could also be an internal anti-counterfeiting logo of Blackwatch and it doesn't affect reading."
"Is it really just a watermark?"
Murphy frowned, then put the three patterns together and kept comparing them. "This pattern doesn't have any symmetrical structure, it can't be a logo or watermark. In my opinion, it's more like a password, or a code word..."
"What?"
The middle-aged man was startled. "Do you think there's other information hidden in these patterns?"
"I'm just guessing. When we go back, invite a few professional linguists to analyze these watermarks and see what they mean."
"Yes."
The middle-aged man had to answer.
"It's fine if the case is fake, but if the contents of this case are true, then we'll have to speed up the pace of destroying Blackwatch."
Murphy's expression became more serious. "This technology has the potential to control human thoughts. The brain is a forbidden zone of the human body. Once our enemies master this technology, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, this technology must not be allowed to appear in the hands of forces other than us!"
"In that case, this company is really not simple."
The middle-aged man suddenly realized. "No wonder the spies we sent not only didn't get much information, but were also lost in Eco Science City. They didn't even know how they died..."
Murphy did not answer. He just gave the middle-aged man a few more reminders, then walked out of the barracks and returned to the helicopter.
Until the helicopter took off again, Murphy still maintained a solemn expression. For some reason, after reading that case, he always had a feeling that he was being spied on.
This feeling was very subtle and inexplicable, hovering between existence and non-existence.
"Illusion? Or am I being watched? "
Murphy muttered in a low voice. At this moment, he once again thought back to five years ago.
On that day five years ago, when he was elected as the "Shield Bearer" and became the representative of North America, he was under the surveillance of "Adam".
"Adam" was a quantum computer. No one knew its origin. According to the earliest group of people, this quantum computer seemed to have jumped out of a stone. At the beginning of the establishment of the Federation, the quantum computer "Adam" naturally appeared.
The program of the quantum computer was also set up. It was running at all times, calculating all the possibilities from this moment until ten years later. Once it discovered any disaster that could endanger human civilization, it would sound a crisis alarm.
How fast was the computing speed of "Adam"?
Based on the calculation speed of the Summit supercomputer, which was currently the fastest computing speed in the Earth Federation, Summit's floating-point computing speed was 200 PFLOPS, which was 2 billion times per second, and "Adam" was 300 billion times the computing speed of Summit.
In other words, "Adam"'s computing time of one second was the computing speed of Summit for 10,000 years...
It was also because of this nature-defying computing speed that "Adam" could assume the responsibility of inputting all the variables of the entire planet into it, thereby predicting all the crises of the Earth Federation in the next month to ten years.
Therefore, the quantum computer Adam was also known as the "Holy Shield" and Murphy's current identity was the "Shield Bearer".
Although the "Shield Bearer" did not have much authority, it was the representative of the interests of the various continents of the Federation. In a six-year cycle, each continent would choose three people to serve as the "Shield Bearers" of their continent.
On the day he became the Shield Bearer, the quantum computer detected everything about him, including his birth and death. The quantum computer "Adam" gave a restoration and prediction.
And at that time, Murphy felt as if he was being watched …
Murphy's expression became gloomier. He knew that this feeling could not have come from "Adam". Although "Adam"'s computing speed was extremely fast, its resources were still extremely precious. It was said that only about three hours of computing time could be squeezed out every year, and the rest of the time must be used to calculate the crisis events of the Earth Federation.
Even so, the accuracy of Adam's calculation was still very difficult. The prediction within ten years could only give a general trend. To really get a more accurate prediction, it must be calculated on a monthly basis.
Therefore, in the case where it was not Adam, there were only two possibilities — one was that all of this was an illusion, the other was that there was a quantum computer similar to Adam that was predicting him.
At this moment, Murphy thought of Blackwatch.
Since he began to target this company two years ago, he watched helplessly as this company grew bigger and bigger. The dozens of spies he sent, as well as the resistance organization White Embers that was indirectly established, were destroyed one after another. Even the members of the plutocratic families who joined in began to encounter mishaps.
Among these spies who encountered mishaps, many of them were extremely well-hidden, and the only channel that could be exposed was the Internet.
Therefore, Murphy gradually had a bold conjecture that Blackwatch was likely to have a quantum computer similar to the Federation. It was by relying on that computer to monitor the network that this company could continue to grow and accurately find all hidden enemies.
Therefore, he simply set up a trap and ordered an agent to bring a USB flash drive containing Adam's quantum virus to Eco Science City and find a way to insert the USB flash drive into the other party's intranet.
This quantum virus was a major achievement of the Federation's research on "Adam" for many years. Its function was also very simple, that was to copy all the information in the other party's computer. There was no need for any connection and those information would be copied to Adam.
In that way, the existence of another quantum computer would inevitably be detected by the Federation.
Even if the agent's operation failed, the quantum USB flash drive would still fall into the hands of Blackwatch. The other party would still have a chance to insert the USB flash drive and cause the same result.
However, in the end, nothing happened.
The agent was indeed exposed, but the USB flash drive belonging to Northern America had disappeared. It was like throwing a meat bun at a dog. The dog was fine, but the meat bun was swallowed by the dog.
So until now, he did not know whether his guess was right or wrong.
After learning this news, the Northern American officials finally became anxious. Since they could not do anything to the other party in secret, they had to shed all pretense of cordiality and set up a plan to arrest the head of Blackwatch.
All of this was carried out in secret. The Earth Federation headquarters and the officials of other continents did not know. Otherwise, it would be another confrontation of interests.
All these thoughts flashed through Murphy's mind. This vague feeling of being spied on made Murphy think a lot.
"Could it be that the other party has discovered my existence?"
Murphy's heart sank for no reason, but then a sense of absurdity struck him. As the shield bearer of the Earth Federation, would he be afraid of a private company?
Although he had to admit that the company was indeed a bit too mysterious, with endless biotech and a freak combination of factors to solve life-or-death crises. Once this happened a lot, it would make people feel a little bit afraid...
So, could all this really be an illusion?
Murphy did not know, and there was nothing he could do now. He could only wait for the genius named Chen Chen to leave the Eco Science City in December. After attending the Nobel Prize award ceremony, he would arrest him.
These thoughts echoed in Murphy's mind over and over again. About an hour later, he returned to the Quantum Deity Laboratory in the depths of the forest and returned to his post.
What Murphy did not know was that the moment he saw those watermarks, he was stared at by a pair of eyes tens of thousands of kilometers away...
...
At this time, all the thoughts that emerged in Murphy's mind, as well as his experiences from childhood to adulthood, also appeared completely in Little X's Prophet system.
"Just restoring a person's experience consumes so much power..."
At this time, Chen Chen looked at the terrifying number of power consumed and could not help frowning slightly. "It seems that it's time to put the third inertial fusion reactor on the agenda."
"But the Spire Experimental Base is already full. We've utilized as much as 95% of the base's space. We really can't squeeze out extra space to build a third reactor."
Little X reminded.
"In that case, let's expand it."
Chen Chen decided without hesitation. "The Spire Experimental Base is originally an underground space formed by limestone due to karst. As long as the structure isn't changed on a large scale, there won't be any structural hazards."
"Okay."
Little X nodded and then giggled. "Then now it's this' Buckle Murphy '. I didn't expect that the person who has been messing with us is hiding behind the quantum computer. We have to find him by non-physical means first before we can calculate everything about him.
"Strictly speaking, he's just a representative, representing the most important force of the forces that oppose us, but by no means the last one."
Chen Chen said calmly, "But now that we've found the person, the next step is to find a way to get the X-ray structure diagram of his entire body."
With that, Chen Chen turned around and looked behind him.
And behind him, there was a set of strange-looking equipment.
The device was made up of several large parts. One of them was a transparent container the size of a coffin. In the container, there was a device similar to a 3D printer. The most eye-catching and huge part was a giant machine about five meters tall and three meters wide. There were three rows of huge pipes on the machine.
This set of equipment consumed all the electricity Chen Chen had accumulated since he acquired the two nuclear fusion reactors. The source of this equipment came from a movie called Spectral.
Although everything was back to square one, Chen Chen did not look distressed at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smirk.
"Sir Godfather, what is your plan? If it's just to deal with Buckle Murphy, there's no need to use this device at all, right?"
Little X was still very puzzled, but she could not turn on the Prophet System to make predictions, so she could only ask, "Your plan really isn't targeting that quantum computer?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen only raised a finger and shook his head at the same time, revealing a secretive expression.
"Buddha said, 'Don't say it …'"
