Resurrection Empire

Next to this seemingly ordinary door, there is a row of digital buttons from 0 to 9. The layout looks like an elevator button in the 21st century.

The buttons are all solid metal buttons.

When pressed, there is also an obvious tactile feel of the mechanical structure. It is very laborious to press, and it cannot even be done by relying on the strength of the human arm alone. The armor must be activated to assist in exerting force.

Whether it is the door, the alloy wall next to it, or the surface of the bunch of digital buttons, they are all covered with neutron coating, making it almost impossible to destroy them with external force.

This thing is a digital combination lock with a purely mechanical structure. It is primitive, ancient, simple in structure and even simpler in principle.

Also, the combination lock doesn't look in harmony with the wall.

Ren Zhong speculated that this thing should be an alternative solution for controlling door locks that old popsicles thought of after losing their "net".

Although this solution is simple, it is more stable and reliable.

With the help of another insurance plan, this seemingly simple digital lock turns out to be the most secure method in the world.

When Ren Zhong first came here and fell under the door lock a few times, he had thought about whether to come a little later and make a second hydrogen bomb to blow it up.

But Ren Zhong didn't do this after all, because what he wanted was to control Lao Bingluo and dig out more secrets from Lao Bingluo's mouth.

He didn't want to let Elder Frozen get relief from death so easily.

The problem of the Source Star civilization is not just the frozen elders, but deep-rooted rot from beginning to end.

Just beheading will not change anything, but may create greater chaos by rashly destroying the top management structure.

What Ren Zhong really wants to achieve is to find a way to control the old popsicles in his hands.

In theory, Ren Zhong has at least two ways to directly destroy the white ball. First, create more hydrogen bombs, or even three-phase bombs to blow up the white ball directly. But this takes too much time and is definitely not a goal that can be achieved within a year. On the Source Star, which has no nuclear industry foundation, Ren Zhong can only collect so much heavy hydrogen and uranium in a short period of time. Second, try to seize control of Ying Hao's galaxy-level main gun and directly bombard it. Ren Zhong had considered the feasibility of this matter, but had to face many insurmountable difficulties. First of all, with the weight of the galaxy-level main gun, Li Yang must pay close attention to it, and it is extremely difficult to seize control silently. Even if he succeeds in seizing power, his disguise will be completely exposed, and the entire Ren Group will be stabbed in the back by Ying Hao, who is controlled by Li Yang, and Hewitt will strangle him with all his strength. Although the Ren Group is now the tenth force in Origin Star, it is still weak compared to the nine established groups. In addition, due to the performance of the white ball's film shield, the galaxy-level main gun still cannot destroy the white ball with one shot. When the white ball is already guarded, it is basically impossible to hit the second shot.

This is also the fundamental reason why there seems to be a shortcut for Ren Zhong, but in fact there is no choice.

Relying on special operations to go deep into the hinterland and capture the old popsicles can really open up the situation.

He knows that it is difficult, but the difficulty is often directly proportional to the benefits. Who knows the results if you don't try.

Ren Zhong slowly raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and then accurately mobilized the armor energy, accurately controlling the power of each finger to 55.7 N, and then pressed the first number, "7".

The square button sank downwards, making a clicking sound.

Ren Zhong let go, and then the button did not return immediately, but rebounded at an extremely slow speed. The process of pressing the button is a bit like twisting a clockwork spring, and the rebound texture of the button when released is similar to the rotating state of the lever when the clockwork frog jumps.

As the keys rebound, the mechanical structure inside the wall transmits mechanical force like dominoes, which is then amplified, causing vibrations to spread outside.

Finally, when the "7" button fully rebounded, it vibrated slightly and made a clicking sound.

Ren Zhong's actions seemed simple, but when he pressed the button for the first time, he pressed the "8" button by mistake.

At that time, Ren Zhong knew nothing about the password lock, so he could only tentatively try to press any one at random to see what would happen.

What finally happened was that the door of the absolute defense hall filled with neutron coating was instantly sealed, and in just five minutes it was filled with high-energy plasma with a temperature equivalent to several hundred million degrees.

This high-energy plasma is the second layer of insurance that works with the combination lock to kill intruders.

Then, Ren Zhong pressed "7" again and repeated the previous process.

About half an hour passed, and Ren Zhong pressed a total of 176 numbers.

After the input was completed, a rumbling sound was heard from the left and right sides of the door, and a rectangular door outline slowly appeared on the tightly-fitted neutron-coated alloy wall and sunk inwards.

Seeing this change, Ren Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It worked.

Three simple words summed up his extremely long efforts.

Both his efforts to stand here and his efforts to break this lock.

The safest lock in the world has never been an electronic lock, but a purely mechanical structure.

If Ren Zhong wants to find the password like a blind cat meets a dead mouse, then there may be a situation where he succeeds on the first try, or uses up 10 to the power of 176 opportunities.

From a probability perspective, Ren Zhong is most likely to succeed in the number of times 10 to the 176th power divided by 2.

But this was still something he couldn't bear.

Fortunately, Ren Zhong is not a person who only tries his luck. He has both reasoning ability and powerful computing power.

When he realized that he was facing a digital code lock, he first analyzed the identity of the potential user of the code.

Since it is a password to open the door from the outside, someone outside must have this set of numbers.

The significance of this arrangement is that if something goes wrong with the refrigeration equipment of the old popsicle inside, at least someone from the outside must be able to go in and rescue it.

Later, Ren Zhong tried to dig out secrets from Ma Xiacheng, Ying Hao, Hewitt and some powerful people in the elder group. However, these people who have theoretically climbed to the top of the source star civilization's power structure do not seem to be qualified to enter the white ball, let alone know the password.

Ren Zhong immediately turned his target to the super-level professionals who were under the orders of the frozen elders that he had dealt with briefly, that is, the humanoid weapons belonging to the independent department's military department.

After that, the daring Ren Zhong also tried to take action directly, trying to capture several super-level professionals to extract some information.

After several attempts, he succeeded, but then he immediately gave up on this pointless behavior.

It's not that he can't dig out the password, but that this thing actually has two passwords.

One of them is an emergency code used to deal with the situation where the frozen elder completely loses his autonomy and is completely unconscious.

There is also a compulsory code used to force the door open while Elder Freeze is awake and locks the door from the inside.

These super-level professionals only know emergency codes, but not mandatory codes.

Although he could not get the answer directly, Ren Zhong was lucky enough to get the source of the code from these prisoners of war.

Originally, the last barrier in the white ball was controlled by the omnipotent "net". After the "net" disappeared, the awakened Elder Frozen urgently installed the lock.

The password of this lock is exactly the calculation result of "Net".

In the words of the super-level professional, "Net" believes that human thinking has limitations. If people write this code, they will always fall into the limitations of human thinking, showing hidden objective laws, which may lead to Being calculated. No matter how random the person who makes up the code thinks, it is useless. As long as they are human, there will be rules. Only when the "net" comes by itself and uses its huge computing power to perform topological operations beyond theoretical limits can we get infinitely close to true chaotic randomness. Then, as long as the cracker's computing power is not stronger than the "net", it will be impossible to crack it.

This 176-bit password became an important legacy left by "Net" to the frozen elders.

This is the first time that Ren Zhong has heard that "Net" as an artificial intelligence "speaks" of the view that it is not like artificial intelligence.

In a sense, "Net's" view is correct, but it is completely contrary to Ren Zhong's own view.

But we can't say who is right and who is wrong. After all, Ren Zhong lives in a world where the physical rules are different.

In Ren Zhong's cognition, machines always have rules, and people are the ones who have no rules.

In short, after getting this answer, Ren Zhong immediately shifted his focus to compressing and developing the computing power of the pseudo network, and used the information he collected through continuous trial and error, and then Hua Yuelan mobilized the "pseudo network" to make calculations.

After hundreds of calculations, the fake network has now given him the answer.

In the previous timeline, Ren Zhong also pressed all the way to the 175th digit. Adding the 176th digit obtained now, Ren Zhong got the answer. The numbers in this answer are a bit ridiculous. They are actually the 16548th...7525th to 16548th...7701st digits of pi. The absolute random numbers calculated by the "net" still fall into the law of pi.

After the door was sunk in, a crack began to appear in the middle of the rectangular frame. The cracks gradually opened and moved to both sides.

Ren Zhong gently stepped forward and walked forward slowly.

He held two primitive long knives in both hands.

Under the bright light, the blade shone with a dazzling cold light.

Nine middle-aged people were sitting neatly in this not-so-spacious room.

This was the first time that Ren Zhong met face to face with these nine old guys who spent most of their time hiding in the dark, but who firmly controlled the highest authority in Origin Star society.

There are too many "myths" and "legends" related to them circulating on the Source Star.

Everyone who grew up on the Source Star has been instilled with a consciousness from childhood to adulthood.

This awareness does not fall directly on the nine elders, but only on the nine giant companies that are so huge that they cannot be disobeyed or resisted.

In a sense, the nine giant companies themselves are the embodiment of the influence of the nine frozen elders.

If it were a normal Origin Star person, whether it was Ying Hao, Ma Xiacheng or Hewitt, when seeing these people, they would subconsciously lower their heads. This is a kind of strong pressure that comes from blood and is engraved in genes.

But it just so happened that Ren Zhong was not from Yuanxing.

So he raised his neck, tilted his head, and looked at the nine old popsicles who had just emerged from cryonics without hesitation.

Without spending much effort, Ren Zhong recognized Ying Feng, Barton Augustus and the ancestors of the Ma family based on their facial features.

The two sides just observed each other silently, and nearly ten seconds passed in a blink of an eye.

The nine people were sitting upright, with solemn expressions, and their eyes showed the aura of looking at the world, as well as indescribable self-confidence.

These nine people, with their facial expressions and subtle body language, create a solemn atmosphere, giving people the feeling of being a believer walking into a hall filled with statues of the gods in their hearts.

It's a pity that Ren Zhong doesn't accept this trick.

He has already seen through the old popsicles' lustful nature. The shock and fear deep in your pupils are almost overflowing!

Bang!

Ren Zhong suddenly raised the long knife in his right hand and pointed it forward.

At this moment, Ren Zhong keenly noticed that the pupils of the nine people shrank by about 0.01 mm on average.

See, this is what is called a god.

When it is above the clouds, it appears mysterious and powerful. It only allows mortals to worship it, and it is indescribable.

But when there were real mortals standing in front of them with butcher's knives raised, they instantly shed their former glory, and the aura attached to them by false history and power melted away as quickly as ice and snow under the scorching sun.

Ren Zhong also came to the conclusion that only those who truly put life and death at risk can become gods.

As long as a god begins to covet life and fear death, he will surely fall into the mortal world.

After a moment of silence, Ying Feng was the first to speak, "I know you, your name is Ren Zhong, and you are my heir Ying Hao's confidant. What are you here for? If you have any demands, you can tell us Speak freely.”

Obviously, this is Ying Feng's delaying strategy.

It sounds a little ridiculous, just like the owner of the house asking the murderer who broke into the bedroom with a knife in the middle of the night, "What are you here for?"

Ren Zhong even wanted to laugh when he heard this.

But he also understands the pain of the old popsicles at this time.

Who would have thought that a white ball like an absolute safe house would be breached just when the strongest bodyguard was out?

It's ridiculous to say that these frozen elders have many super-level professionals under their command, and they also control a large number of ruin beasts, but none of them have the power to restrain themselves, and their professional level is approximately zero.

In addition, this small room is an absolute safe house, and they didn't even prepare a weapon here.

So, no matter how many calculations and conspiracies they have, they must bow their heads obediently in front of the sharp murderous knife.

Ren Zhong slowly opened his mask and said: "You may have met me for the first time and don't know me. You only know my name and don't know who I am. But it doesn't matter. I will let you know me soon." to who I am.”

The next second, Ren Zhong suddenly moved.

He appeared in front of Patton Augustus and waved the sharp machete again.

Ren Zhong did not chop off Patton's head, but only cut off his legs along the knees.

Barton, who was trying to maintain his composure just a moment ago, immediately subconsciously curled up his legs and tried to hug his calves with his hands, but he failed. His palms directly grabbed his thighs, and the back of his hands was stained red by the blood spurting from his knees. .

The other eight people were so shocked by this sudden change that their pupils shrank.

Ren Zhong laughed wildly.

"Look, the god who rules over billions of living beings and, in a word, kills and takes away hundreds of millions of lives, is just this ugly and desolate. Are you worthy of being in charge of the lives of 20 billion people? What?"

Ren Zhong yelled crazily while activating the first aid equipment on the Chifeng Armor.

Two mechanical arms quickly stretched out from both sides of his waist.

There is a steel needle at the top of each robotic arm. The steel needle accurately penetrated the lower part of Barton's thigh and injected a high-efficiency coagulant into it.

Patton Augustus's bleeding was stopped, but the pain continued to torture him and became even more severe.

Yes, Ren Zhong added ingredients to his coagulant, which can increase his nerve acuity and increase his pain. The intensity of the increase is comparable to what happened to Yang Bingzhong, who was executed on the seventh-level death penalty.

Barton Augustus began to wail miserably.

Ren Zhong had a cold smile on his face.

At this time, he subconsciously began to recall the past in his mind.

He thought of Sun Miao's description of the hell on earth in the Mengdu Group's R\u0026D headquarters, and of those barren people who were forced to board white trucks to become "volunteers", and of the hard work he had done to get here. , the shrill wails of those who had to be pushed into hell again and again.

It was these endless painful experiences that were constantly replayed that almost turned Ren Zhong into a cold-blooded monster.

It was precisely his ambition to change this status quo that made Ren Zhong gradually develop the same imperial mentality that ignored life.

He became almost an insensitive person.

Fortunately, this time Ma Xiaoling became his anchor, pulling him back from hell and retaining his humanity.

It was this human nature that allowed Ren Zhong, a lonely warrior who traveled through time, to accumulate a huge amount of anger at this time.

He showed no restraint and only vented his anger crazily.

Because the angrier he gets, the more Ren Zhong feels that he is still a human being.
