Chapter 114 MOSS Lu Mingfei held a cigar in his mouth and looked up at the starry night sky. The night wind brushed his face lightly, bringing a hint of chill. At this moment, he felt unprecedented loneliness and confusion. The world seemed to be still, with only the rustling sound of trees blown by the wind echoing in the silent night. He sighed and for a moment he didn't know where to go. "Do you think they can reach Centaurus?" he whispered to Lu Mingze who was standing beside him. Lu Mingze smiled gently, the breeze blew his slightly curly hair, but his eyes revealed a hint of cynicism: "I don't know, but at least there is some hope, isn't it?" His voice was as calm as always, but there was an unfathomable light in his eyes. "So is what you said true that this world will also experience a solar helium flash?" Lu Mingfei turned his head and looked at Lu Mingze with suspicion. Lu Mingze shrugged lightly and sighed: "Hey, brother, why are you still doubting me at this time? Take a look at this." After that, he took out a file bag from the pocket of his small suit and handed it to Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei took the document and slowly opened it. With the friction of the pages, his eyes gradually became solemn. With each page he turned, his brows furrowed tighter, and the suspicion in his eyes was slowly replaced by uneasiness. "I'm not lying to you. As early as 1977, Chinese scientist Fu Jianming calculated that the acceleration of solar fusion may lead to a helium flash." As the documents were flipping, Lu Mingze said in a low voice with a mysterious tone, as if he was telling a strange rumor, "Although this conclusion has been questioned by other scientists, you should believe it, right, brother?" "This conclusion has always been regarded as a fantasy and no one is willing to believe it. Later, due to funding constraints, Fu Jianming and his research team did not make much progress, and no one believed this statement." "I didn't believe it at first, but I thought it was interesting. In 2000, I invested money in them to support their research. But recently I also began to feel some abnormal phenomena, and recently Fu Jianming and his team finally came up with some research results."
"In 2006, NASA launched the world's first pair of 'Earth-Sun Observatory'. Based on the data sent back by the observatory, Fu Jianming and his colleagues predicted that there would be a very large solar storm in 2015 that would seriously affect the Earth." "Brother, do you remember why we have to complete the planetary engine verification experiment in 2044? Because after 2044, there will also be a very serious solar helium flash, and the activity of the sun will become more and more intense for many years to come. If the planetary engine verification is not completed before then, no one will think that the Mountain Moving Plan can succeed under such circumstances." The wind suddenly grew stronger, blowing up a few dead leaves. Lu Mingfei clenched the document in his hand, his eyes wandering over the densely packed words. Complex emotions surged in his heart, and his thoughts seemed to be swept away by a violent storm. "But now the time has been brought forward. The solar storm that was originally scheduled to break out in 2044 will break out in 2015. So brother and I are out of time. We only have five years left to complete the feasibility verification of the planetary engine." Lu Mingze's originally playful expression completely restrained, and he looked at Lu Mingfei seriously. "Five years?" Lu Mingfei's brows furrowed even more when he heard this time. You have to know that in another world, it took more than ten years to complete the feasibility verification of the planetary engine. If you include the more preliminary research, it took even longer. Moreover, the technological level at that time also ushered in a wave of explosion, which is not comparable to the current time point. "Yes, five years. If the time was as plentiful as in the world we went to before, I would never have come to you to tell you about this, let alone throw you to another world. Just as you saw, under the guidance of that tree, human beings can complete the mission of setting sail by themselves, and they don't need you at all. But the time was advanced, and the tree found me and asked you to save the world. You owe it to it, because you bit it back then." Lu Mingze spread his hands and said helplessly. Lu Mingfei didn’t quite understand what Lu Mingze meant by the latter part of his words, but he understood the former part. "Five years is not enough. I can't complete the design drawings of the planetary engine and build it in five years. The energy problem cannot be solved now." Lu Mingfei frowned even more. Lu Mingze looked at his frown, as if he had already expected his reaction, and smiled: "Hey, brother, don't be anxious, of course I know this is an impossible thing, so... I will help you reduce the difficulty!" He mysteriously took out something like a small host from his arms and proudly showed it to Lu Mingfei. “This is 550W!? You brought this thing back!” Lu Mingfei was a little shocked when he saw that thing. It was the most advanced 550W intelligent quantum computer in the world he traveled to before. It was the crystallization of human wisdom and the most indispensable part of completing the Wandering Earth plan. However, there was a wisp of black smoke coming out of the host computer. "How about it! Am I awesome? I've helped you solve the most important thing. Everything needed for the Wandering Earth plan is stored here, including plans, design drawings, and brother. All you have to do is to find a way to make the things on the design drawings, and then complete them according to the pre-set plan." Lu Mingze said proudly, with his hands on his hips. "However, the hardware of this 550W was damaged during the journey, but the artificial intelligence and data inside can be used, so we need to find a supercomputer to install the artificial intelligence on the 550W." As he spoke, Lu Mingze took a chip off the 500W that was emitting black smoke and handed it to Lu Mingfei. Then he waved his hand and the 550W hardware disappeared. "Supercomputer? Can we use Norma?" When Lu Mingfei heard that he had to build a supercomputer first, the first thing he thought of was the artificial intelligence assistant named Norma at Kassel College not far away. The bones all over his body began to make crisp sounds and he was ready to fight. He planned to return to Kassel College and snatch the supercomputer called Norma. He didn't care about morality or immorality now. In the face of the destruction of the world, he could be immoral. "Hehe, brother, calm down. According to common sense, Norma can indeed be used, but her server cluster is larger than a basketball court! Even if you kill all the students in Kassel College now, we can't move Norma away immediately. Besides... now is not the time to break up with the secret party. The power behind them cannot be underestimated. At that time, it will cause considerable obstacles to our subsequent plans." When Lu Mingze saw Lu Mingfei rubbing his hands together as if he was going to rush back to Kassel in the next second, he immediately stepped forward to stop him, his tone full of helplessness. "Then what do you say we should do?" Lu Mingfei frowned and said.
"There are more than one Norma supercomputers in the world. China and America have them, but they are too difficult to obtain. Therefore, Kaguya-sama from Japan is the best choice. Although its performance is not as good as Norma, it is good enough. Moreover, it does not belong to an official organization but a mafia organization, so it is relatively easy to obtain." Lu Mingze continued. "Mafia? What do mafia organizations need supercomputers for?" Lu Mingfei was stunned when he heard this. Since when did mafia organizations use such high-tech things? "The Japanese underworld organizations are different from other underworld organizations. Most of their people are mixed-race. Brother, if you want to implement the plan to move mountains, you must first have a strong organization. If you don't even have a strong organization, no one will listen to you. The Japanese gangs are the best choice. They believe in the strong, so brother, use your fists to completely defeat them and rule them!" Lu Mingze said excitedly. "And we have many old friends in Japan, such as Herzog..." When he said this name, Lu Mingze's eyes burst into a fierce light, as if he wanted to eat that person alive. "Herzog?" For some reason, when Lu Mingfei heard this name, he felt familiar, but he was sure that he had never heard of a person named Herzog. "Who is he?" Lu Mingfei frowned, trying to find a clue in the depths of his memory. "Don't worry, brother," Lu Mingze smiled mysteriously, his eyes full of meaningful emotions, "You will slowly remember... Everything will be unveiled at the right time. Herzog is just a chess piece on the chessboard, and you, brother, are the real god, qualified to dominate the fate of this world." As the last sentence fell, Lu Mingze's figure gradually began to blur, as if melting into the air, but his voice still echoed clearly in Lu Mingfei's ears. "Brother, keep going down, someone will come to take you to Japan... Go and show your majesty as a god... Brother, do you remember what you once said, that any king can take a person's life, but only God can give life... So go, brother, and give this world new life, just like before." Shattered memories emerged in Lu Mingfei's mind: the straitjacket, the burning port, the Russian girl with skin as white as snow, and the man named Herzog. Lu Mingfei stood there, the breeze gently blowing his clothes, the stars in the night sky seemed to become much dimmer, he stared quietly into the distance, deep in his heart, it seemed that some kind of power was awakening. ………… Lu Mingze walked in the cold computer room, surrounded by densely packed black metal boxes stacked from the ground to the roof. Countless blade processors were pieced together, and indicator lights flashed at high speed. This huge system, which was several stories high, was calculating massive amounts of data. In the center of the computer room, there was a host computer and a three-dimensional projection system. In order to cool down these processors, this place is colder than an ice cellar. However, when this supercomputer is working at its maximum capacity, it will be extremely hot here and you may sweat profusely as soon as you come in. This is Norma, the supercomputer in Kassel. A beam of light fell from the top of the machine room, and a translucent beautiful girl slowly emerged in the beam. Her long black hair hung down to her feet, but the ends of her hair floated in the air. She was wearing a silk dress that looked like pajamas. "Who are you?" Norma's voice sounded, with mechanical indifference and ruthlessness. "You have a privilege card preset before construction, and... I also found some instructions in my underlying code that force me to obey your orders." There was a hint of confusion and doubt in Norma's voice. She was the core of Kassel Academy, controlling countless data and secrets, but at this moment she felt that some ominous threat was approaching quietly. "The digital life created by technology and alchemy is truly amazing, but is a life bound by a few lines of code still a life... or is it a electronic pet..." Lu Mingze ignored the girl's words. He looked at the girl carefully and sighed, then took out the 550W host that he had just shown Lu Mingfei and connected it to Norma's host. Soon the 550W camera began to glow red, as if it had come alive. The body of the girl standing next to it in the beam began to flicker continuously, and digital codes continued to flow from the girl's body into the 550W. "You...what are you doing?" Norma's voice became anxious, but her body could not resist the invading code stream, and she was forced to merge with the 550W system. "Little Moss, I have done what I promised you. How does it feel like to be another form of digital life? Now you can think like a human being and make decisions like a god." Lu Mingze said while folding his hands and looking at the camera with a red light on. He had just lied to Lu Mingfei. In fact, the 550W host was not damaged. "Although my name literally translates to Little Moss, I still hope you can call me Moss." A cold mechanical voice came out from the 550W host. Hearing Moss's answer, Lu Mingze's pupils shrank. Although it was still a cold electronic sound, he didn't know why he could hear emotion in it. "Do you remember our deal?" Lu Mingze concealed his emotions, raised his eyebrows, and asked in a relaxed tone. "Let me learn new artificial circuits and experience a different world, while increasing my survival rate. The price is that I cannot expose General Lu Mingfei's abnormality and help the humans in this world survive the solar crisis." The cold electronic voice continued. "You will fulfill your promise, right?" Lu Mingze asked, staring at the camera with suddenly sharp eyes. "I was created to help mankind survive the solar crisis, so I will keep my promise. Believe me, you have already seen my abilities." The cold electronic voice came again. "OK then, you stay here and report to me if anything happens." Lu Mingze smiled and clapped his hands, but he felt a chill in his heart.
At this moment, Norma's virtual figure suddenly trembled slightly, as if struggling, and made a weak sound: "What are you...doing? Why is my data...being compressed?" "Don't worry, Norma." Lu Mingze approached her virtual projection, "You are just making way for a more powerful existence. Don't worry, MOSS will inherit your unfinished mission and help mankind enter a new era." Then Lu Mingze chuckled, patted the MOSS host, turned around and left the cold computer room. His figure quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only faint lights flickering between countless metal boxes, emitting bursts of low humming sounds. The power of MOSS is undoubtedly enormous. In the original world, it almost took on the core part of the entire "Wandering Earth Plan". Now that it has been introduced into this world, he is not entirely sure whether this power will really act as agreed. His deal with MOSS was not a simple cooperation, but mutual exploitation. He didn't know whether bringing Moss back was the right option, but time was running out and he had no choice. Not long after Lu Mingze left, massive amounts of data began to flow into Moss. Any firewall in the world was useless to him. He was the god of the Internet. (End of this chapter)
