Uplifting Journey

"So, what are you doing here on Mars?"

Cheng Bin looked at the two people sitting on the small sofa on both sides of him, and asked curiously.

Zhang Ping gently placed the cube in his hand on the coffee table in front of him, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly paused, and turned his gaze to Cheng Bin's back.

A girl dressed in white came in from the side door holding a tray, with a sweet smile on her face. There were three drinks and a large plate of exquisite snacks on the tray.

Cheng Bin turned his head in surprise, watching Bai skillfully placed the cup in front of the three of them, and placed the tray in the center of the coffee table.

Bai, who had set things up, walked up to Cheng Bin and sat down, looking curiously at the two people who were staring at him.

Zhang Ping looked back and forth between Cheng Bin and Bai with a strange gaze, and Liu Jing directly showed the expression of "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person".

Cheng Bin looked at Bai who was shaking his calf in a strange way, then picked up a snack and sized it up in front of him.

Bai's series of behaviors made him a little confused. By the way, wouldn't this snack be simulated by Gonggong nanomachines? Do you need to check Bai's growth record later? Where did she learn these things?

"Uh, this one should be edible."

The measurement of the panorama shows that this thing is really suitable for people on earth to eat. Cheng Bin, who has not eaten for a long time, tried to take a bite——

Judging from the taste signal, it should be pretty good?

Cheng Bin took a sip of his drink with a subtle expression, then nodded to the other two.

Although they were not hungry, the two who had passed their meals glanced at each other, and took a piece of snack with a guilty conscience—they were probably the first, er, second or third to eat snacks on Mars Dim sum earthlings, right?

It was surprisingly delicious.

Probably the instinct of the Chinese people to talk about things at the dinner table was touched, or human beings subconsciously relaxed after meeting the needs of survival, and the atmosphere in the living room seemed to be a little more relaxed.

"Bai, don't you want to eat?" Liu Jing looked at the cozy little girl sitting beside Cheng Bin and asked softly. She neither ate nor took a drink.

"Have you already passed the name?" Cheng Bin raised his hand and touched Bai's head, and said to the two when she smiled and looked up, "She is a human body simulated by a metal machine, and she does not need to eat or drink."

"Robot?" Zhang Ping, who was drinking a drink, almost choked. He looked at Bai who looked like a real person in disbelief, "I can't tell at all, wait, robot? Intelligent AI? Bai? White?"

Under the shocked eyes of Zhang Ping and Liu Jing, Bai showed a cute expression of embarrassment.

Sensing something was wrong, Cheng Bin immediately asked the two of them, and then learned something from Zhang Ping, who was smiling wryly——

On the earth covered with invisible gunpowder some time ago, a strange existence labeled "white" suddenly broke into the global network. Avoid and unscrupulously explore and copy various data.

During that time, the entire Internet world was full of grief, and top computer experts from all walks of life were abused and suspicious of their lives—those who dared to touch white, whether they were national experts or folk geniuses, their hometowns were copied to the bottom.

During that time, any place that dared to connect to the Internet was tossed into a sieve by White, and countless top-secret data were scattered everywhere like Chinese cabbage. The lives of the people were greatly affected, and the economic losses were even more impossible to count.

In the face of this inhuman and terrifying Internet ghost, the tense international situation that was originally filled with gunpowder suddenly eased.

In the end, under the Huaguo organization, which had faintly gained the leading position in the world, human beings united to coordinate and control the servers on the physical level, and then grasped the existence form and action track of White, but White had disappeared for a long time at that time.

According to White's undisguised trajectory, human beings finally tracked down several communication satellites facing Mars.

As for Mars, various organizations have kept secrets for some reason. Besides, the satellites and probes launched to Mars have long been out of contact. Apart from optical observation, humans have not updated the information on Mars for a long time. Besides, optical observation can only You can see the ever-expanding mosaic on Mars.

However, although the mysterious white seems to have slipped away, in addition to the mess, it also left a lot of hidden dangers.

For example, the United States tried to restore the original appearance of White based on some residual records. As a result, they did not know what sinkhole they touched, and the entire network was tossed again—they did experiments in a physically isolated area!

Among the many purposes for Zhang Ping and the others to come to Mars is the task of trying to confirm information about White.

After listening to Zhang Ping's narration, Cheng Bin stared back at the girl beside him with his mouth open, and Bai Bai nodded shyly to meet his gaze.

"I mean, after returning from World No. 7 in the Inner Domain, why did Bai have so many rich expressions and behaviors? Did he go to loot the data on the entire Earth Information Network?"

Cheng Bin looked at the ceiling speechlessly, and then smiled awkwardly at Zhang Ping and the others, "I'm sorry, our Bai family is still young and doesn't know how to keep a low profile. You won't blame her, right? Hahaha, hehe"

"." Looking at Cheng Bin's contrived expression, Zhang Ping shuddered, and said helplessly, "It's okay, the international situation on Earth has eased a lot, and the information communication channels of various countries have also become smoother. In addition, thanks to you , Our country has made great achievements in intelligent AI.”

". After Miss Bai's baptism, this area has also made great progress. It's a blessing in disguise."

Cheng Bin coughed lightly, and abruptly skipped the topic: "Besides, what's your purpose for coming this time?"

"Well, the first is the long-distance test flight of the new spacecraft for technical verification. In addition, I will confirm the situation of the lost Mars artificial satellite, the surface of Mars shielded by interference, and you who cannot be contacted."

Zhang Ping glanced at the innocent white face, shook his head and continued: "I won't say much about these secondary purposes. Our main purpose of coming this time is to try to contact you and send this to you."

Cheng Bin's gaze followed Zhang Ping's fingers to the strange cube on the coffee table.

He glanced at it casually out of curiosity on the way before, and it seemed to be a sophisticated electronic instrument inside the protective locked casing.

Seeing that Zhang Ping just picked up the sealed cube and handed it over, Cheng Bin raised his eyebrows and reached out to take it.

The casing assembled by the singular structure has no keyhole or the like, and it cannot be opened again after the first installation, and the things stored inside will be damaged if it is forcibly cracked.

But Cheng Bin couldn't be bothered, the moment the thought energy soaked into the cube, the two shells disintegrated and floated away under the surprised gaze of the other two, revealing an electronic chip in several layers of protection.

"A simple one-time USB flash drive? The structure looks familiar." Cheng Bin dropped the square base in his hand, pinched the floating chip in his hand and looked at it, "This is made by the scientific research institute, I think Think about the encryption method at that time."

After copying the material structure of the chip in his hand into the panel, Cheng Bin tried several decryption methods from the Earth Huaguo Academy of Sciences, and converted the data inside.

"So solemnly sending people to pass it on manually, what kind of data is this?"

Cheng Bin muttered softly while quickly browsing the transformed information.

Soon, his pupils shrank, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
