Chapter 94 Explosion
During the interrogation, everyone quickly learned about the situation of the two people.
Wang Yewen was the main culprit, and the other person was an helper, responsible for blocking the surveillance during that time period.
But, although the lie detector test was fine.
But everyone thought that the two people's answers were full of doubts.
Li Yi said about the rules:
"Captain Yu, I want to talk to the main culprit and understand the situation."
Yu Shouze looked at Chen Qiongzhi.
Chen Qiongzhi said: "We worked all night with Lao Zhang to translate the manuscript last night. We left just before 7 o'clock. No one knew the result of the translation. I think many details in it are worth studying."
Yu Shouze understood what Chen Qiongzhi meant and said straightforwardly, "We don't have a clear interrogation process anyway, so everything can be kept simple. In that case, please do as you please."
At that moment, Li Yi nodded and walked into the interrogation room.
Inside, there are a security team member responsible for interrogation, and a bionic AI responsible for lie detection and record keeping.
The team member saluted Li Yi and said, "Hello, sir! I am Zhou Xiaoyun, a security soldier from the third group of the security team of cabin 13."
He didn't know Li Yi, but from the pace and breath of Li Yi's walking, he knew that he was an evolver and his authority must be higher than his.
Li Yi said: "Please give me a seat."
Zhou Xiaoyun immediately gave up his position as the chief judge, and Li Yi sat down without hesitation.
Opposite him was Wang Yewen, an ordinary-looking man with glasses who had the temperament of a researcher.
The person who was being interrogated by another security guard in the closed room next door was his assistant Wang Yeli, his younger brother.
At this moment, Wang Yewen saw a man who was obviously young but had higher authority coming in. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "Sir, I am really wronged. I really just wanted to steal some manuscripts and get a professional title for myself."
Li Yi said:
"Wang Yewen, since you said you were wronged, I want to ask you some details."
"First of all, why did you steal this manuscript? And not other manuscripts?"
Wang Yewen said, "I heard that Teacher Zhang has been deciphering the Gourd Script recently, and I happen to know that the Gourd Script involves a recent ancient branch of divine civilization, so I want to get this manuscript."
Li Yi said: "But the contradiction is that if you want to publish it, Teacher Zhang will definitely know about it. How can you guarantee that he won't cause trouble for you afterwards?"
Wang Yewen said:
"Because I know Mr. Zhang's habits. He rarely pays attention to other people's deciphering papers. He only pays attention to the original excavation data of the civilization and text that he wants to understand. Even if he discards the manuscript for a while, he will definitely not care."
"As for me, I just need to make the announcement successfully, take advantage of the time difference, and then find an opportunity to apologize to him."
"With Mr. Zhang's tolerance, he will definitely not care about this matter."
Li Yi said: "Then, on what basis do you think that Teacher Zhang is so tolerant and doesn't worry about his own affairs being exposed?"
Wang Yewen said, "Because there have been two precedents for this matter, Teacher Zhang did not make any move to demand severe punishment, and everyone in our institute knows it."
Li Yi frowned slightly, then said:
"Since you know that Teacher Zhang will not punish you severely or report you, then why do you need to ask your brother to block the surveillance?"
Wang Yewen said, "If the surveillance is still there, then Teacher Zhang will definitely not allow it if he is caught in the act, right? We can only act first and report later to succeed."
Li Yi asked: "You have AI to help decipher it, so it shouldn't be difficult, right? Why do you still need to steal Teacher Zhang's work?"
Wang Yewen said:
"For AI-assisted deciphering, you must first sort out the context and framework of the text yourself, and then AI-assisted deciphering can be done."
“This requires rich experience and a high level of skills.”
"In our institute, there is no one who has the decryption ability of Professor Zhang."
"If I do it myself, it will take at least half a year, and there will be many mistakes, and I may not be able to successfully decipher the code."
Li Yi said, "Very good. Why did you choose this time to go there? Also, how do you know that the gourd text has been deciphered? And how do you know that the gourd civilization is related to the ancient branch of the divine civilization?"
Wang Yewen said:
"Because I am the decryption assistant in the institute, I am responsible for following up on the successful decryption of Teacher Zhang. However, recently, another decryption task was put on hold in the institute, so I went to Teacher Lin. However, I can check the decryption status at any time on our collaborative account."
"And I saw that the decryption status suddenly increased a lot, and the completion rate was very high. I guessed that Teacher Zhang had grasped the thread of the gourd text and stayed up all night to decrypt it."
"After the decryption stopped, I guessed that Mr. Zhang had probably finished his work and fell asleep. That's why I came up with this idea."
"As for how I confirmed that the gourd text is related to the ancient branch of the divine civilization... I forgot where it came from, but I think I heard it mentioned by a teacher."
Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Which teacher, when, on what occasion, and how did he say it?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I really can't remember."
Wang Yewen stretched out his handcuffed hands and scratched his head, revealing an extremely distressed look.
"Can't remember anything at all?"
"Yes sir, I think I totally forgot."
"Since you have forgotten, why do you feel that the manuscript of the deciphered gourd script is so necessary?"
Wang Yewen was stunned, lost in thought, and murmured, "Yes, on what basis can I be sure that the manuscript of the deciphered gourd script can help me get a professional title?"
"Wang Yewen, answer my question."
"Sir, I don't know. I really don't know. I am just obsessed with it."
Wang Yewen fell on the table in pain, as if shedding tears of regret.
"Why am I so stupid?"
"Wang Yewen, among the decryption tasks you have recently assigned, is there anything more important than deciphering the gourd script?"
Wang Yewen wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "It's the ancient text of Setan."
Li Yi frowned, "But isn't the ancient text of Setan Star the same as the gourd text?"
“We haven’t come to a conclusion on this yet.”
Li Yi understood. It seems that the ancient text of Setan and the gourd text have the same origin. This is just Lao Zhang's judgment and there is no consensus yet.
From this perspective alone, Lao Zhang is indeed amazing.
What he said was easy to decipher might be extremely difficult for others.
Li Yi asked some more questions, then stood up and left the interrogation room.
Several people came up and Chen Qiongzhi asked, "How is it?"
Li Yi pondered and said, "The most crucial doubt is that someone mentioned to him that the gourd text is related to the ancient branch of the divine civilization, but he forgot it."
"This is so strange that as a researcher, he wanted to steal the manuscript and forgot the motivation."
Yu Shouze smiled and said:
"Your interrogation was a great help. I didn't expect that the breakthrough was Wang Yewen's inadvertent idea. If I hadn't had a good understanding of the content you deciphered, I might have missed this suspicious point."
Li Yi and Chen Qiongzhi both looked at Yu Shouze in surprise.
"Why? What do you know?"
Yu said:
"I remembered a case I encountered before. The victim was in a very similar state to Wang Yewen at the moment."
"I think this state is likely to be implanted with relevant thoughts by virtual reality."
Li Yi looked towards Yu Shouze in surprise:
"Using virtual reality to implant thoughts? To change a person's actions? Is this possible?"
Yu Shouze explained: "A few years ago, a vicious criminal like this appeared on the ship."
"I don't know where he got the mother machine of virtual reality from. After modification, he can let people enter the second layer of virtual reality that is like a dream in virtual reality. Using this layer of dream, he can change the target's thoughts, opinions, and even ideas."
"The extent of its harm is no less than that of major cult organizations."
Chen Qiongzhi said, "I've heard of this person. It's said that he was once one of the developers of the third-generation virtual reality. Later, he was hired by our starship to maintain our virtual reality system. His name seems to be Wu Huanling, right?"
Yu Shouze said, "Yes, it was Wu Huanling. He is very skilled and is even the maintainer of the Yao Chi AI series. After the incident, he hacked into a Yao Chi female fairy AI and we couldn't use our tracking methods. He ran away directly."
"Now, either he sneaked into the living quarters of the native ship residents in the next cabin and stole their identities, or he found a chance to escape from the fleet."
"And judging from Wang Yewen's performance just now, it is very likely that this was done by Wu Huanling. In other words, Wu Huanling may still be on the fleet."
"Of course, although we cannot rule out the possibility that Wu Huanling taught his skills to others, considering the complexity of his skills, I think Wu Huanling is still the most suspicious."
Chen Qiongzhi said in a deep voice:
"That is to say, Lao Zhang's death was indeed not an ordinary accident."
Yu Shouze nodded and said, "At the moment, it seems to be true. I need to report this to the higher authorities and request the Ministry of Supervision to intervene in the search."
Chen Qiongzhi said: "It's better this way."
As he was talking, a security guard came over in a hurry and said to the rules: "Boss, according to Wang Yewen's instructions, the translation manuscript was not found!"
Yu Shouze frowned: "Have you searched carefully?"
"We've searched everything. We've searched everything. The bionic AI and robots haven't found anything."
Yu Shouze felt the situation was difficult and said, "Oh no! Could it be that the manuscript has some significant value?"
Li Yi and Chen Qiongzhi looked at each other and felt that things were becoming more and more troublesome.
…
On the way back, Chen Qiongzhi said to Li Yi:
"Li Yi, Lao Zhang said before that he would send you a study list and the corresponding materials. Has he sent it yet?"
Li Yi said:
"Received it. He sent it this morning, about ten minutes after we left."
Chen Qiongzhi confessed:
"After you go back, take a look at these materials when you have time. These should be Lao Zhang's last few minutes. Maybe there are some clues hidden in the information he sent you."
Li Yi nodded:
"I think so too. If the manuscript is missing, it means that either it contains great value that we don't know about, or the importance of the gourd civilization may be even greater."
Chen Qiongzhi asked: "Can you still write down the contents of the manuscript from memory?"
Li Yi winked at Chen Qiongzhi and said, "At most 20% to 30%."
Chen Qiongzhi understood and said, "Two or three percent is not bad either. Write it down later and send it to me as soon as possible."
"Okay, instructor."
When he returned to the cockpit of the Pluto mecha that day, Li Yi copied the contents of the manuscript exactly as it was, one to one.
Then wrap it tightly with waterproof paper and place it close to your heart.
"Without Lao Zhang, it will be much more difficult to decipher those ancient gourd characters."
"In that case, let's do the old way. I'll try to figure out the information Lao Zhang gave me and go into the dream state to see if I can capture more relevant memories. I'll just have to rely on myself."
Although he was vaguely worried that deciphering these texts might lead to some bad consequences.
But as a veteran of many battles and with a strong will, he will not be easily frightened.
At this moment, with the A-level module and his increasingly strong physique, he has no problem staying in the cockpit for eight or nine hours a day.
Therefore, he was not afraid of the slight load brought by starting the mecha. While reading and pondering the information, he fell asleep directly in the cockpit.
Memory fragments generated by entering dreams in this state.
There is a high probability that he has a parallel memory of driving the Pluto mecha, and another parallel memory of him mastering the knowledge related to decryption.
…
In a blink of an eye, the night was already halfway through.
In the training hall, apart from the Pluto mecha pretending to rest and actually being activated, there was no other movement.
Suddenly, the door of the training hall opened quietly.
The access control prompt sound did not come out at all.
A dark shadow walked in slowly.
Click, click.
With the sound of extremely subtle footsteps, a black shadow crossed the aisle of the fighting arena and walked inside.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Suddenly, the slightly narrowed eyes of the Pluto mecha suddenly opened! A huge beam of light was cast directly from the eyes of the Pluto mecha and gathered on the black shadow.
In the cockpit, Li Yi, who was well prepared, suddenly woke up.
But the moment he saw the black shadow, he was stunned unconsciously.
"Just a cleaning robot?"
At this moment, a smile appeared on the cleaning robot's anthropomorphic face: "I received a cleaning request and now come to perform the cleaning task. May I ask if you allow me to do it?"
Li Yi's voice came from the Pluto mecha: "Please stay and give us your stored data for us to check."
As he spoke, the Pluto mecha stretched out its big hand and grabbed the cleaning robot.
The next moment, the cleaning robot suddenly exploded on the spot! Amid the rumbling sound, the flames could not harm the Pluto mecha at all. It was just activated by the freezing property, and the explosion flames were instantly extinguished.
At the side, Chen Qiongzhi's figure flashed out for some reason.
After she left the training hall under surveillance, she erased her status and sneaked back here.
"Unfortunately, it looks like it was just a fake fish."
Chen Qiongzhi shook her head slightly.
"Instructor, is there no one else outside?"
"No, there was only this cleaning robot from beginning to end."
"I see. By the way, instructor, since the person who obtained the manuscript is likely to have mastered the technology of implanting thoughts into virtual reality, is it safe for us to explore the virtual ruins later?"
Chen Qiongzhi said: "Don't worry, the only person in charge of the mother machine of the virtual ruins is the captain. He has superb skills and is also a powerful evolver. The mother machine is also placed in the safest place in the ship. It's hard to say about other places, but the virtual ruins are definitely the least likely to be hacked."
Li Yi asked:
"If it's an ordinary AI, then it could be hacked?"
“Well, in theory it is true.”
Chen Qiongzhi said: "At present, for safety reasons, all AIs in our fleet are on separate servers. Information exchange mainly relies on the starship's own communication system and will not be controlled by the Internet."
"But if it is a weak AI of a low level, it is very likely to be hacked and modified."
"But fortunately, the AI related to our special class is all controlled by Xiaochi. Her level is not low and her intelligence level is also very high. The possibility of being hacked is very small."
Li Yi said thoughtfully:
"In other words, the cleaning robot was able to come in just now because AI Xiaochi deliberately let the water in?"
"That's right."
Chen Qiongzhi said: "There are five main levels of AI in our fleet. They are Queen Mother AI. The highest controller of the mother machine is the captain; followed by Xiaoyao and Xiaochi. The highest controller of the mother machine is the captain of our mecha corps."
"The next is the Yaochi Female Fairy series. The mother machine is controlled by the person with the highest authority in the corresponding department."
"After that is your dormitory AI dormitory, which is the intelligent AI of the lower-level department. It has no mother machine, and the server is in the confidential area."
"Other types of auxiliary AI only have weak intelligence and are the easiest to hack."
"The office where Mr. Zhang works is equipped with weakly intelligent AI, which is usually controlled by technical staff from various departments."
Li Yi nodded and roughly understood the various AI architectures within the fleet.
"I see. It seems that even if Wu Huanling takes action, the actual threat will be limited, unless he can control the AI of the mecha team."
Chen Qiongzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are all evolvers with strong wills and powerful souls. The possibility of being confused by this technology is very low, so there is no need to worry too much."
Li Yi nodded: "Yes, if even the Evolved can implant thoughts at will and influence the actions of others, then our starship would have been in chaos long ago."
…
Next, nothing happened overnight.
It is worth mentioning that I don’t know if it accumulated to a certain extent last night.
Li Yi discovered that in the process of practicing and digesting a lot of memories, he had unknowingly mastered a perfect skill.
【Tracking, Perfection】
From mastery to perfection! The dividing line between mastery and perfection was drawn by Li Yi himself.
But the boundaries are clear.
Proficiency means being highly skilled with occasional mistakes, whereas perfection means having no omissions and no mistakes.
Of course, this is under normal conditions. If the pressure reaches a certain level, even perfect skills will fail.
It's just that it takes a lot of pressure to cause mistakes.
In addition, the biggest difference between perfect skills and proficient skills is that perfect skills can be used at will in other related fields.
However, mastering a skill can only be applied to related fields to a limited extent.
Li Yi was also very happy about this, thinking to himself:
"After a busy day and listening to bad news for most of the night, I finally got some good news. It's not bad."
"Now that the tracking skill has been perfected, I can focus on figuring out the decryption skill in the near future."
“Hopefully it can be done soon.”
Li Yi didn't plan to tell the team members about Lao Zhang's affairs.
After all, this involves some secrets. If we tell them rashly, it may bring them changes that they cannot bear.
…
After the training session at noon, everyone formed teams and went to the cafeteria.
Cai Xiaodong pinched his sore shoulders and said:
"Have you noticed that today's gravity training seems to be more difficult?"
Tan Haoran said:
"Not again, but it's increasing every day, it's just that you've almost reached your limit today."
Sun Duxiu also said:
"Yes, the gravity index I'm experiencing every day is basically above 18, and it can reach around 23 during peak hours, which is outrageous."
Cai Xiaodong was shocked and said, "Damn it, I can't stand it at only 14. Sun Duxiu, you are ranked fourth, and you don't deserve it."
Sun Duxiu said with a smile: "I am not exaggerating. Even Fang Tao can't withstand a higher gravity index than me. The reason is very simple. I am the only one in the class who is a Strength God. My divine gene brings me a naturally higher strength and physical fitness than others."
Tan Haoran asked: "Even if Fang Tao has been condensing the ninth divine gene for a long time, he is only one step away from the tenth one?"
Sun Duxiu nodded and said, "That's right, even if he only has one last shot."
Cai Xiaodong asked curiously, "Then your physique is stronger than his, and your fighting skills are not bad either, so why is your ranking lower than his?"
Sun Duxiu shook his head and said, "I am just stronger and more physical than him, but my endurance is still worse than his. Moreover, his fighting skills are still slightly better than mine, not to mention that his divine skills are also more powerful."
"What about Li Yi?"
"Li Yi? Hehe."
Sun Duxiu sneered, and everyone immediately understood that there was no comparison, absolutely no comparison.
Li Yi smiled and said:
"Sun Duxiu, try your best to condense the ninth divine gene as soon as possible. In the virtual ruins next week, as long as you condense the ninth gene, I will be able to kill one of the slime creatures and obtain sufficient strategy information."
Yaoshi Wan hurriedly asked: "Li Yi, what if I condense the ninth one?"
Li Yi said: "That's fine, I just need someone to assist me and create opportunities for me."
Yaoshi Wan's eyes lit up and she said, "Then you just have to wait and see, Li Yi. I can get you the money for the ruins exploration next week. Just wait!"
As she spoke, Yao Shiwan's steps became lighter.
Everyone was a little puzzled. What happened to Pharmacist Wan? Why was she so excited?
Or is she secretly planning something? Zheng Xueyuan thought, "Is Sister Wan planning to take action?"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Could it be that...
Li Yi interrupted, "Everyone stop gossiping and go get the high-energy alien meat. It's my treat today."
He now has level three authority, so the free quota is naturally sufficient.
Ever since his physique became stronger, the effectiveness of the high-energy alien meat has gradually declined.
Now, what he mainly eats is the pure meat of divine creatures exchanged for his military merits. After eating one portion, the effect is more significant and stronger.
As they were talking, a scream suddenly came from the front.
"Someone died?"
Li Yi felt a little startled. Could it be Wu Huanling again?
When I ran to the front where the crowd was gathering, I saw a bionic robot responsible for cleaning. It suddenly pulled out a knife and started hacking at passers-by.
On the roadside, several people were caught off guard and had bloody wounds from being slashed.
Fortunately, most of the people here are evolvers with strong physiques. Someone quickly rushed forward and kicked out, directly piercing the chest of the bionic robot.
With a crackling sound, the bionic robot exploded on the spot.
Boom!!! The blast blew, and many evolvers who were closer were blown down several meters.
The broken iron sheets flew everywhere, injuring several onlookers.
Several glass windows around the cafeteria were also shattered.
In an instant, the cafeteria was in chaos.
Li Yi reacted quickly and often faced similar scenes in his memory fragments, but he was not hurt at all.
However, the evolver who kicked through the bionic robot was in trouble.
Even if he was an evolver, he was only an initial evolver. Under an explosion of this intensity and at such a close distance, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
The foreign team member who just caught up was not too close and was lucky enough not to be injured.
"This kind of move should be from the person behind last night's attack. Is this a warning? Or a threat?"
Li Yi frowned and walked forward to check the traces on the ground.
