Wang Teng really admires the thinking of this group of people.
"Why, it looks like we're going to carry this illegal behavior all the way to the end?"
Xiao Wu also laughed: "Yeah, following the rules is definitely not enough for these young people. So should we join them in making trouble?"
Wang Teng said without hesitation, "How can this be called a riot? Nonsense! This is called tit-for-tat, it's called emergency self-defense. If our lives are threatened, we can use extreme measures to save ourselves. Don't you understand this law?"
Xiaowu was stunned: Listen, listen!
Is this what you, as a leader, should say?
But he was also very tactful and immediately responded, "Yeah, right, right, it's my fault for being short-sighted and lacking in awareness. Team Leader Wang is right. This is called emergency risk avoidance, giving someone a taste of their own medicine. I was wrong, I was wrong. I'll run the test right away."
As he spoke, he asked someone to put this new program into the test chip for testing.
This program was improved by Si Lan herself, and there was also a large team to check it together. It is almost mature and the testing is very smooth.
There were a few minor bugs left, which Xiaowu also fixed. So, within a day, Xiaowu had already tested a complete, bug-free program.
Xiao Wu notified the communication station, the communication station notified Si Lan, and Si Lan opened a temporary channel and received this set of procedures.
At the same time, Xiaowu also copied and packaged the virtual map used by the infrastructure team and sent it to Si Lan.
The resource copying program also comes with such a set of maps. With Xiaowu's modifications, the program can achieve resource gains for the entire map, as well as regional resource gains.
This additional setting quickly allowed Si Lan to figure out the purpose.
At that time, half of the border wall of Country T had been built, with only half left, but foreign players were getting closer and closer.
So that night, the infrastructure team was responsible for notifying all construction camps to stop work and retreat. After receiving the signal, Si Lan specified the unfinished part of the wall in the program, then specified the copy path of the completed part, and then started the program.
At the border, patches of light blue codes immediately emerged from the ground.
At the same time, it condensed into the shape of a city wall at lightning speed and rose all the way up. In just five minutes, the city wall that everyone had spent a long time to build was "created" out of thin air!
Everyone was shocked. After the wall was fully formed and stable for more than ten minutes, they rushed forward and knocked and hammered on the wall.
The wall was as solid as a mountain, and the electrical grid on top was still functioning. Following the instructions of the construction team, they even drove a large truck into it, but it didn't shake it at all!
It's a solid wall!
Exactly the same as the wall they built!
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.
I couldn't calm down for a long time.
The infrastructure team was equally excited. Xiao Wu sent a message to Si Lan overnight, but Si Lan was much calmer and replied calmly: "Wait two days. If the chip doesn't detect and destroy it within two days, we will proceed to the next plan."
So everyone waited for another two days.
During this period, this wonder was spread farther and farther by people in various suggestive ways.
The information people received from the communication station was not detailed, so they did not know that this program was mainly developed by the player team within the game, and they all thought it was a major project of the Infrastructure Group.
Everyone thanked the infrastructure team, and some even made heart patterns and words of thanks on the ground. Some people even wrote long paragraphs of confession on the ground, which made the infrastructure team laugh and cry.
However, the infrastructure team did not have time to clarify everything one by one. During this period, Xiaowu also led the team to help Si Lan improve the internal monitoring procedures.
After the program is completed, Si Lan will run it internally and can record the operating data of all chips in the game in real time.
With these truly real-time data that do not require any organization or speculation by the infrastructure team, their teams studying the human body and chips have also begun to make breakthroughs.
Si Lan taught Pei Wen how to read the chip's recording code. Pei Wen learned it immediately and, in line with his professional direction, returned to his old profession and worked with his parents, who were helping the infrastructure group, to decipher the rules of how the chip controls the human body.
Si Lan continued to develop the program.
She and her team built a framework for the game logic and then sent it to the infrastructure team. A whole team of technicians from the information network security center joined the infrastructure team and worked day and night to help her improve and test it. After it was improved, the framework was sent back to her, and she added the program to the game one by one.
As a result, the data of this game and chip became more and more complete.
Later on, the infrastructure team even developed a chip microcurrent activation and flow simulation program under the guidance of the team led by Pei Wen's parents.
This program can obtain the player's body sensing method and path from the internal monitoring chip.
Through these paths, combined with the responses of the corresponding human subjects, they can quickly understand the detailed operation of the chip in the human body and make targeted removal plans.
But this test takes a while.
During this period, the rhythm of the game finally returned to a relatively stable state.
At this time, everyone is in unlimited resource mode and no longer needs to mine resources.
So everyone focused on developing more and more advanced buildings and technological products, trying their best to build the "First Empire", and even wanted to race with the Infrastructure Team to see whether the Infrastructure Team would be the first to lift the chip restrictions and save people, or whether everyone would work hard to build the First Empire and break through the game themselves.
With computers and the Internet, it is more convenient for everyone to contact the infrastructure team.
Si Lan directly copied and delivered a complete laptop computer to each camp.
The camp can communicate with the observers over there through the Internet, without the need for special codes or dedicated personnel. Anyone who is free and can type can send the camp's problems or needs to the observers in the infrastructure group.
At the same time, the Infrastructure Team can also send various tutorials to everyone. In the later stages, many camps have already delved into researching suspended trains, intelligent robots, and even rockets, which are large gadgets with little use in the game.
Players progressed from knowing nothing to having a special skill each.
Everyone has maxed out all the skill bars in the game, and there are so many unlocked automatic queues that they can't be used up. Everyone is at the MVP level.
The key is that all the programs made by Si Lan are based on game logic. They can cheat in the game to the extreme, but the chips and game terminals cannot detect it, and they still calculate the experience points for their progress.
The game progresses faster and faster as a result.
Another week passed and there was news from the Infrastructure Corps.
Pei Wen's parents first mastered the complete control rules, and from then on, they could start to solve the problem.
Pei Wen used the video software developed by Si Lan to communicate with them remotely via video.
When his parents saw his face, they almost cried with excitement.
"Pei Pei, I finally see you. Are you doing okay in the game?"
Pei Wen nodded: "It's okay, don't worry."
His mother: "What about Lanlan? We've heard a lot about Lanlan. She's much more capable than you. You're not doing your best! You're making your future wife so tired?!"
Si Lan, who didn't show her face but was right next to her: "..."
Still walked over: "I'm here, auntie, uncle."
As a result, when the two saw Si Lan, they burst into tears.
Pei Wen: ???
I thought after all this time, the one I missed the most was my precious son, but...???
Si Lan was much gentler towards her elders and comforted them for a long time.
After finally calming them down, she casually asked a few questions about her parents.
Mother Pei: "The in-laws are also very nice, Lanlan, don't worry, just take care of yourself."
"Also, the two of you recently organized a volunteer team to deliver nutritional supplements and various maintenance resources to trapped players in other provinces and cities. We haven't been able to come back and see you these past few days."
Si Lan: "It doesn't matter, as long as they are busy, we will meet sooner or later."
The two didn't say anything, both knowing that this was the relationship between her and her parents. As long as they were sure that both parties were safe and healthy, they would start their sharp-tongued mode.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two sides began to get down to business.
Si Lan was only here to debug the program. Seeing that there was no communication barrier, she made room for Pei Wen and listened in from the side while also handling her own work.
This video conference included Pei Wen, two associate professors who left the research institute with him to start a company, and an entire medical research team from the Infrastructure Group headed by his parents.
The meeting lasted for three days. Through video, the professors on Pei Wen's side also saw clearly the actual situation of the chip controlling the human body, and finally connected it with the actual situation.
Now everyone’s thinking is clear.
Pei Wen had originally specialized in this field, and he threw several plans at him right away.
I heard that his parents sighed that the son is better than the master.
Afterwards, except for Pei Wen who was physically unable to do so, the other two professors also took the initiative to join the real-time detection test team.
When the residents of the camp heard this, they were afraid that something might happen to the professors and that it would affect the overall situation, so they signed up to be experiment subjects one after another and no one could stop them.
Upon seeing this, the Infrastructure Corps team registered the information of these people, found volunteers in the same city, and transferred them to the Infrastructure Corps' laboratory by special vehicle for care and observation.
With sufficient samples and smooth communication, they soon unanimously agreed on the final rescue plan.
At this time, it is time for everyone to decide the order of rescue.
The first batch of rescue operations involves great risks because everything is unknown. Even if the infrastructure team has conducted countless tests on simulated human bodies, it still cannot guarantee safety 100% when used on real people.
The first batch of rescue targets require voluntary registration from in-game players and a series of physical examinations.
The same group of residents who signed up for the test at the beginning stepped forward again this time.
The Infrastructure Group repeatedly stressed the risks to them, but everyone said, "It doesn't matter. We've been working with the Infrastructure Group for so long, and we've seen the country's level. We trust you."
This moved the infrastructure team.
But the arrow is on the string and the rescue plan is imminent, so everyone does not have much time to be moved, to hesitate, or to make choices.
After confirming the list, the medical team of the Infrastructure Group began to test the volunteers' bodies. If their physical condition allowed, they would give priority to rescuing players who were already in the Infrastructure Group.
On the day the chip removal began, all players from Country T in the game stopped what they were doing.
The infrastructure team promised to inform everyone as soon as there is a result, whether good or bad.
So everyone paused their tasks, gathered around the computer in the camp, and waited with bated breath.
The first operation was performed by the head of the medical team himself.
This young lady, known as the "Goddess of Knife", has fast and steady hands, top-notch skills, and is famous both at home and abroad.
She was in charge of the operation, Pei Wen's parents provided guidance, and the rest of the team recorded and observed the data.
Si Lan and Pei Wen were on the opposite side. Pei Wen had mastered the microcurrent excitation rules of the chip. He had to cooperate with the medical team's rhythm, disconnect the stimulation current of the chip one by one at the right time, and assist them in removing the chip.
Si Lan was the one who cut off the current to the chip.
The two of them cooperated very well.
About half an hour later, the chip removal operation was successfully completed under the careful operation of the Infrastructure Group and Pei Wen and others.
But the volunteers at this time have not been awakened yet, and they have not completed the most critical step.
The medical team carefully and step by step identified the map to wake up the volunteers.
At first they were unsuccessful.
The volunteer's physical signs were normal, but he was not conscious.
However, the character in the game disappeared from the game the moment the chip was removed.
This made everyone extremely nervous: you know, the chip was removed through unconventional procedures and the in-game character disappeared, so there was a high probability that this person would not be able to return to the game.
If this person doesn't wake up, it will be difficult for them to restore his consciousness.
The team waited for two minutes, but the volunteer showed no response. They immediately became alert and prepared to provide rescue at any time.
At this moment, the eyelids of the volunteer on the operating table suddenly moved.
At first the medical team thought it was a physiological reaction, but after a while, his fingers also moved!
Doctors immediately rushed over, examining him, calling out to him, and stimulating his body.
About a minute later, the volunteer fully opened his eyes, stared at the ceiling for a moment, and suddenly called out, "Emma?"
Seeing a group of angels in white before him, he asked again in a hoarse voice: "Are we dead or alive?"
"Are you from the Infrastructure Corps? Am I in the Infrastructure Corps?"
For a moment, the doctors and nurses who had been working day and night for several months almost cried.
It was the first successful operation, the first time a person who had been sleeping for several months was brought back to life. They were so excited that their hands were shaking. For a long time, they and the volunteers looked at each other in silence, wiping away tears silently.
Pei Wen and others were also watching quietly from the opposite side through real-time video.
After everyone's excitement finally subsided, the volunteer was taken by the medical team for a very detailed examination. Aside from limited mobility due to long-term bed rest and mild malnutrition, his other problems were not serious. The volunteer's memory was also not affected. When he got out of bed, he saw the video screen over there and immediately shouted excitedly, "Sister Lan! Professor! I'm home! I'm in the Infrastructure Group!"
So this plan is feasible.
The rescue test was 100% successful.
After Wang Teng and others received the news, everyone in the office building cheered.
Xiaowu conveyed the message to the players in the game, and the game fell into cheers one after another.
For a long time, Pei Wen and the others were almost deaf. When the noise of celebration died down, their ears were still buzzing. Pei Wen covered his heart and said in pain: "I feel like I'm going to be killed by their noise."
He was just joking, but as soon as he said it, Si Lan and the medical team on the other side of the video all looked at him.
After a while, Pei's father's voice came: "Lanlan..."
Si Lan understood immediately.
Glancing at the few volunteers still waiting, she gestured to them to wait, then looked at Pei Wen and said, "Let your professor cut in line."
Pei Wen: ???
"What? What do you mean by cutting in line?"
Si Lan's expression was solemn and her tone was serious: "This operation also requires certain physical conditions."
"Most players are in good health and won't be affected by the surgery, but what about you? If you put it off any longer, it's hard to guarantee you can survive this surgery."
Pei Wen understood what she meant and subconsciously frowned and stepped back: "What's the big deal? No matter how long we delay, there are only a few days or half a month left. Can't I wait until everyone is out before leaving? I still need to cooperate with them in their research."
Si Lan: "Your colleagues are here too, and I'm handling most of the data. Your presence or absence won't hinder our progress."
"You'll need to undergo another surgery when you return to the real world. The sooner you leave and the better your physical condition, the higher the success rate of the surgery. When the time comes, you can join the Construction Corps' medical team and be of much greater help than you could here."
Pei Wen shook his head, his whole body resisting: "No, I won't leave."
Si Lan frowned: "Why?"
"You're here."
She was startled for a moment, then said unhappily, "I'll have to go back sooner or later. I'll leave once I've cleared this place out. What are you worried about?"
Pei Wen: "This rescue operation requires coordination from both inside and outside. In other words, the further we get, the fewer people are left, and the fewer ways we can coordinate."
"You control the entire game here. No one can do without you. That means you'll be the last one to leave, or even the last one to go. Who will help you and the others then? No one. You're the biggest risk. How could I possibly leave you here alone?"
Si Lan: "Then if you stay until the end, won't you be at greater risk?"
"Then I don't care. I just need to ensure your safety. My body is in the same condition as it is. I won't be able to recover. It doesn't matter whether you live or die."
Si Lan's face suddenly darkened.
"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to even mention such things?"
Pei Wen: "If you don't chase me away, I won't mention it."
"You have to go."
He covered his ears, turned his head away, and acted like a rebellious teenager: "I won't listen, I won't leave, no matter what I say."
Si Lan cracked her knuckles.
When everyone saw that the atmosphere was not right, Pei Wen's colleagues immediately pulled him away and advised him to be more obedient and consider the overall situation.
Si Lan's team held Si Lan back and told her not to be angry. They said good things about Pei Wen and told her not to be angry with him.
Si Lan said nothing and continued to stare at Pei Wen.
Seeing this, the volunteers sighed and said to Pei Wen, "Professor, please listen to Sister Lan and leave first."
Someone said, "First of all, you left and returned to the safe place, and we all felt relieved."
"Secondly, we are aware of your capabilities. We are relieved to have you lead the team in further chip research. This is better than watching you grow weaker day by day here."
Someone chimed in, "Right, right, right. The professor and Sister Lan have such a good chemistry. Why don't they work together to develop a technology that can remove the chip with one click? That way, we don't even need surgery. Wouldn't that be even better?"
"That's right. When Sister Lan leaves, she won't need anyone else's cooperation. We can just remove the chip over there, and she'll wake up. Isn't that even better? Only you, Professor, can accomplish this!"
Pei Wen still frowned, and turned back to look at Si Lan reluctantly.
Si Lan could tell everyone was helping, and this time her attitude softened considerably as she nodded, "That's right. Go back and use your expertise to continue improving the chip, reducing the cost of the infrastructure team's rescue efforts, which in turn reduces the risk for everyone else."
Pei Wen finally began to waver.
The reluctance and worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.
When everyone saw this, they hurried to persuade him a few more times.
After a while, Fang Xun and others finished their work and came over to understand the situation. When they heard that the first volunteer had successfully escaped and was now persuading Pei Wen to go back for surgery, he immediately squeezed into the crowd and raised his hand to stop everyone from talking.
"Professor, I advise you to go back early. Have you forgotten that you and Si Lan have a dinner date? If you don't take good care of yourself and stay healthy, how can you go on a date with someone, ugh, to have dinner with them?"
When Si Lan heard this, her face was full of question marks: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
At this time, do you still care whether to eat or not?
Fang Xun glanced at Pei Wen, gave him a look, then looked at Si Lan: "How can this be nonsense? Am I right? Professor, you need to go back and recuperate now so that you can have dinner at a certain restaurant as promised. Didn't you two have an appointment?"
Then he looked at Pei Wen and said, "Look at Si Lan for all this time. What hasn't she done well? Worrying about her getting into trouble in this little game is like worrying about something that's not your fault. Professor, you just need to worry about whether you can get out."
Pei Wen: “…”
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and looked at Si Lan: "Then...does that meal still count? Will you regret it?"
Before Si Lan could answer, a group of people nearby started to make a noise: "It's a deal, it's a deal. Is Sister Lan the kind of person who goes back on her word? She's not!"
"Sister Lan promised him, promised him, just one meal, and after we get out, I'll treat you to many, many more meals!"
Si Lan's popularity is really low because of this group of people who like to watch the fun and stir up trouble.
But looking at Pei Wen, who was standing there waiting pitifully, and then at his parents in the video feed behind him, he sighed and pointed to the bed in the room: "It counts. Go up."
Pei Wen couldn't believe his ears: "Really? ...A couple's restaurant?!"
The others started to jeer again. Fang Xun slapped him on the shoulder in frustration and lowered his voice, "Still asking, still asking? Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me? Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry and embarrassed? Why don't you just shut up and listen to my instructions!"
Pei Wencai realized it later and quickly tried to make amends: "It's okay if we don't go there. We can go somewhere else. It's up to you. Even a roadside stall is fine with me!"
Si Lan took a deep breath, her patience almost reaching its limit: "I'll count to three."
Before he could even say anything, Pei Wen lay down on the bed obediently.
But he was still worried. He stared at Si Lan and told her a long list of things: "If it doesn't work out, I will find a way to come back and pick you up."
"Don't be too sad if I can't save you when I go back. I've lived enough and I have no regrets in dying. You saved my life. I've been really happy all these years. I..."
He lay on the bed and blurted out his last words, leaving everyone stunned.
Si Lan's face became increasingly darker, and later on, she could barely hold her expression. From her profile, one could see that she was about to bite her back teeth to pieces.
Everyone quickly called for a stop.
To be more precise, they all shouted in unison: "Shut up!!!"
Pei Wen was shocked, and then he realized that he had inexplicably aroused public anger. He was still puzzled, and then he saw Si Lan with a dark face and an expression as if he was about to kill someone.
Pei Wen: “…”
Just shut up and listen.
Si Lan then took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and turned around to sit in front of the computer.
After exchanging a glance with Pei Wen's parents, Pei's father nodded gratefully at her and turned around to make preparations.
Pei Wen's colleague also took over Pei Wen's position and cooperated with the medical team on his behalf.
Everything is ready and the second operation is about to begin.
Before Pei's mother returned to the team, she suddenly glanced at Si Lan and asked in a low voice, "Lan Lan, is it true that you two are going to have dinner together?"
Si Lan was stunned for a moment, nodded helplessly after a moment, and said "hmm".
Mother Pei understood a lot instantly, smiled softly, and sighed: "That's great."
Without saying anything more, he turned around and joined the surgical team.
Si Lan turned around to confirm with Pei Wen and his colleagues: "It's about to begin."
Pei Wen's colleague made an "OK" gesture and looked at him: "Shall we begin?"
Pei Wen took a deep breath and took a last look at Si Lan.
Before closing his eyes, he looked at her and said in a soft but firm voice, "I like you, Lanlan."
The author has something to say:
Happy New Year, my dears!
