Chapter 630: Crossroads (please vote for the big chapter)
"I think the deeper you go into this spaceship, the weirder things you encounter,"
Ye Yun sat in front of the dashboard, "There's no way to guarantee that we won't get separated. It's best to have something to verify each other's identity, such as a token, a password, etc., so that if I get separated, we can come back."
When I meet you, I can quickly rebuild trust."
Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Ye Yun's suggestion.
After all, it is not surprising that anything happens in a weird and extraordinary scene. When He Ao entered the ruins for the first time, he encountered a Class B monster pretending to be Liu Nan.
Of course, although He Ao has verified Ye Yun's life card and confirmed Ye Yun's human identity through his spiritual consciousness, in fact, the mutual trust between the two of them so far is actually based on fighting side by side for such a long time.
.
After all, He Ao had almost no contact with Ye Yun before this. Even if both of them were from the institute, there was no basis for trust.
From Ye Yun's perspective, his 'trust' in He Ao should be similar.
After all, at the beginning, when the two first met, he also expressed wariness towards He Ao.
And for him to raise this question at this moment, from another perspective, it also means that his 'trust' in He Ao has reached the level of 'comrades' who can rely on each other. At least, he is no longer wary of He Ao.
So, in fact, in a sense, his raising this issue is itself a way to express goodwill and a way to closer trust between the two parties.
Shared secrets are often the bonds that maintain trust.
After Ye Yun finished speaking, He Ao casually cut off the monster behind the car and quickly dug out the monster's energy source without answering the question immediately.
"Well, if you don't think it's necessary,"
Ye Yun hesitated for a moment and spread his hands, "We don't have to. After all, we may not encounter anything that requires us to separate."
The entire carriage fell into a brief silence, leaving only the roar of the monster.
"What do you want to use as a 'code'?"
As the next wave of blood spattered, He Ao's calm voice sounded.
"Anything is fine."
Ye Yun had a smile on his face, stood up, and walked to He Ao, "What about the institute's standard code words?"
The so-called standard codewords are actually a set of basic password codewords set by the institute.
This code language consists of a chaotic set of symbols. When writing, these symbols are arranged in an almost chaotic order.
However, the corresponding meanings of these symbols are not fixed.
The same symbol may even correspond to hundreds of different characters under different writing conditions.
The key to unlocking this kind of password is the 'prefix', which is a group of symbols with special meanings.
The person who encrypts the code mixes these symbol groups into the code word. The person who solves the puzzle knows these symbol groups in advance, and then decrypts the code word in the order indicated by the symbol group, so that he can understand the original meaning of the code word.
For the same set of code words, if the prefix symbols are different, the decrypted meaning may be completely different.
Therefore, although the institute's set of standard code words is completely open to the public, as long as the decryptor does not know the prefix symbol group of the person who encrypted it, he cannot decipher the meaning of the code words.
Moreover, this set of standard code words can also be converted into a simple code form, which is actually not complicated to learn, so it is widely used in research institutes.
Most of the senior researchers in the institute have mastered this set of standard code words.
Well, the problem is that He Ao is not a senior researcher.
He had only joined the institute for a month, and he had never learned this set of code words at all. He only had a general understanding of this thing.
But that's not important.
The moment he heard Ye Yun mention the 'standard code word', he controlled Hao Yi's clone who was still in the main world, turned on the computer on the spot, and visited the institute's website.
This set of code words is completely public, so even Hao Yi's authority can directly access it.
He Ao controlled Hao Yi's clone, his eyes quickly passing over the content of the secret message.
At the same time, he looked at Ye Yun, "What prefix do you want to set?"
Ye Yun looked up at the camera behind him, raised his hand in front of He Ao with the camera on his back, and wrote two sets of symbols on his hand.
The corresponding meanings of these two sets of symbols are 'leaves' and 'river'.
The prefix is not limited to only one set of symbols. In fact, the more complex the code word, the more symbol sets are used.
"What's the secret code you want to agree on?"
He Ao then asked.
"The mountains and rivers in my hometown are beautiful."
Ye Yun held the camera on his back and whispered to He Ao, "I will write this sentence in standard code words when the time comes."
"Can."
He Ao nodded.
"What about you?" Ye Yun looked at He Ao, "What is the secret code you want to agree on?"
"I don't use standard code words,"
He Ao raised his hand, avoiding the sight of the camera, and quickly wrote a symbol on the palm of his hand.
"Is this your signature?"
Ye Yun looked at He Ao's moving fingers with some surprise, "It's so beautiful. Did you find someone to design this?"
"I designed it myself,"
He Ao glanced at him and said, "So far, only we know this signature."
"good."
Ye Yun nodded and smiled, "Compared to yours, my password seems to be a bit complicated."
The password does not necessarily need to be complicated. A simple design such as a signature is also acceptable. The key point is that it cannot be copied and known by a third party.
"As long as the effect is the same."
He Ao nodded slightly and began to concentrate on dealing with the monsters outside.
After exchanging secret codes, the two took turns killing monsters several times, and the number of monsters following the car gradually decreased.
"These guys are so annoying,"
Ye Yun, who finally got some rest, leaned against the wall and took a breath. Then he looked at A02, "When can we get to that artificially retarded person?"
"The next stop is the station closest to the core control room. After arriving at the station, you still need to walk for a while to reach the door of the core control room."
A02 answered slowly.
"Looks like we're finally going to catch up with that bastard Yin Weier."
Ye Yun smiled, and then he looked behind the car door again.
At this moment, there are almost no monsters chasing behind the car door.
He looked at this scene with some emotion, "I didn't expect that the closer we got to the core, the fewer the monsters would be."
"That's not necessarily good news."
He Ao put away the bone sword, walked to the instrument panel, and held the network card that he had pulled out when he just tested the terminal.
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Yun had some doubts.
boom--
The moment his voice fell, the dark tunnel was suddenly torn apart.
A weak light shines through the huge hole in the dim tunnel light.
"run!"
He Ao pulled out the network card and jumped out of the door without hesitation.
This time, Ye Yun did not hesitate. He followed He Ao's movements and quickly jumped out.
boom--
next moment.
The powerful plasma beam illuminated the entire dark space like daylight.
This blazing beam instantly penetrated the running tram.
The roaring explosion shook the eardrums of He Ao and Ye Yun.
"What is this?"
Ye Yun looked at the gap and asked tremblingly.
At this moment, a mechanical head half covered with squirming flesh poked out of the torn opening of the tunnel.
Countless chaotic mechanical sounds sounded from the mechanical head. Most of the sounds were incomprehensible to He Ao, but there was still a sentence in the second area's language mixed in, which meant,
"Intruder, kill!"
The next second, a huge plasma cannon stretched out from the monster's eyes and aimed at He Ao and Ye Yun.
The two of them rolled forward and jumped again.
The fiery light hit the tunnel wall behind them, punching a large hole in the wall.
He Ao stared at the head of this mechanical monster.
This mechanical monster's head alone is several meters in diameter.
The feedback from his spiritual consciousness told He Ao that judging from the density of energy flow, this monster was infinitely close to Class B.
That plasma cannon alone was much larger than the plasma cannon of the tentacle monster we met before.
To get rid of this monster, He Ao must activate super memory, fight a fierce battle, and even use the power of the Miracle Wand to create landslides and tsunamis.
That would use up most of his cards.
This is not conducive to He Ao stopping Yin Weier, because he still doesn't know if Yin Weier has any other trump cards.
"Let's go there."
He Ao did not hesitate and jumped directly into the large hole that had just been penetrated by the plasma cannon.
Judging from the previous battles, these monsters in the Navigator all have their own 'territory'.
Under normal circumstances, they will not stray too far from their territory.
In other words, this monster can be avoided.
"Why didn't this guy attack Yin Weir in front of us?"
Ye Yun also followed He Ao, running in embarrassment and shouting loudly.
"Run forward and see if you can escape."
He Ao responded loudly. At this moment, the two of them were in a dark corridor.
A flash of light penetrated the ceiling above the two of them, and a violent explosion sounded behind them.
"Intruder, kill!"
The noise of machinery echoed in their ears.
If you really can't hide, you can only fight hard.
Even with Ye Yun's help, He Ao was not sure that he could completely kill this monster without using all his strength.
And once he exhausts all his strength here, it means that he will completely lose the chance to stop Yin Weier.
Even if he didn't use up all his strength here, but was just held back by this monster, Yin Weir, who was already in front of them, would be able to accomplish his goal without any hindrance.
"Is this guy... brought by Yin Weir... to stop us?"
Ye Yun followed He Ao, breathing heavily.
Such high-speed and violent exercise is a bit too heavy for him.
A dazzling light flashed above their heads again, and this time the plasma cannon bombardment fell in front of them.
The originally dark corridor has been blasted with more and more openings.
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the top of his head.
Above these openings, there seems to be a huge space.
Where they are now is the corridor under this huge space.
Through the light exposed through the opening, He Ao could vaguely see the footsteps of the giant robot walking above.
Most of the robot's body was covered in squirming flesh and blood. In the position of its two eyes, one was a plasma cannon, and the other was a flesh-and-blood child hole glowing with blood-red light.
At this moment, the robot seemed to have discovered that He Ao was watching it. It lowered its head, and a strong light gathered at the muzzle.
He Ao rolled forward violently.
A fiery explosion sounded behind him.
That was the sound of plasma cannon hitting the steel ground.
Isn't this guy short of energy?
While running, He Ao quickly put the network card he pulled out into the microcomputer.
At this time, a T-shaped fork in the road appeared in front of him, with left and right directions.
"Go right."
He roughly built a model in his mind, yelled, and ran into the passage on the right.
The right side should be the direction continuing forward.
At the same time, his hands were constantly connecting various lines.
In the process, he dodged several more plasma cannons, and the giant robot was getting closer and closer to them.
"Hello, sir, the pilot's main artificial intelligence A02 is at your service."
Finally, when the plasma cannon was almost touching He Ao, He Ao had connected all the lines.
The image of A02's silver-haired girl appeared on the screen.
"A02, do you have a way to control that big guy outside?"
He Ao asked quickly.
"According to speculation, sir, you are currently located under the large mechanical laboratory of the Navigator. I cannot connect to the laboratory's network and am analyzing the noise emitted by the large machinery around you. Please wait..."
A02 paused for a moment, "According to calculations, the large machinery is completely out of control at this moment. There is an 80% chance that you will be judged as spacecraft intruders and be attacked."
"Is there any way to avoid this guy?"
He Ao asked quickly.
"Analyzing your location."
A02 put his head on his hands and made a thinking gesture.
A huge hand suddenly pierced the ceiling behind the two people and quickly grabbed them.
"ah!"
Ye Yun, who was following He Ao, ran hard and even caught up with He Ao's speed in an instant.
The two of them moved forward crazily and dodged the attack.
The monster above them grabbed the target with one blow, then stretched out its other hand to grab it in front of them.
"Turn left on the road ahead,"
A02 in the picture suddenly raised his head.
There happened to be a fork in the road ahead.
After a brief thought, He Ao chose to follow the instructions of A02 and turn left.
Ye Yun followed closely behind him.
The palm of the giant robot landed on the road on the right, and missed the opportunity.
"Turn right on the road ahead,"
"Turn left again,"
"Go straight and turn right at the fork."
The instructions of A02 kept ringing in their ears.
After dodging again and again, the giant mechanical monster gradually slowed down, and the distance between it and them widened.
"There are two gates at the end ahead. After opening, there will be a 5-second pass time,"
On a dark straight road, A02 slowly spoke, "After passing through the two gates, you will leave the large-scale experimental area. In this case, sir, there is a 79% chance that you will escape the pursuit of the large-scale experimental machine."
As her words fell, He Ao also saw the two gates.
Fortunately, the gate switch is good.
"A02, where do the two gates lead to?"
Heao asked.
"Both gates can lead to the core control room. According to calculations, the route to the right gate is shorter and more dangerous, while the route to the left gate is longer and safer."
A02 replied.
"Can the map of the two gate routes and the names of all laboratories or areas along the route be displayed?"
He Ao asked quickly.
"Can."
Along with this agreement, a three-dimensional map appeared on the display screen. Two lines passed through this three-dimensional map. Each laboratory and area along the way were labeled with names in Chinese characters.
Some words that A02 seems to have not learned are replaced by ‘□’.
He Ao's eyes quickly scanned the map. Soon, his eyes stopped on the name of a laboratory.
‘Institute of Space-Time Coordinates and Spacecraft Dynamics’
At this time, he also arrived in front of the gate, and he suddenly opened the gate switch.
At this time, Ye Yun also narrowed the distance with him.
The sound of the giant robot moving still followed them.
"Let's take the right path."
He Ao looked at the gate that opened quickly, turned around and said something quickly.
This switch controls two gates at the same time, so the gates on the left and right sides are both open.
This gate opened very quickly, and it was already halfway open in the time it took to speak.
The sound of the giant robot is getting closer.
He Ao immediately rushed to the gate on the right.
"good!"
At this time, Ye Yun who was following behind responded.
But just as he was about to follow He Ao's footsteps and rush into the gate on the right, a huge mechanical hand quickly fell from the sky, penetrated the ceiling in front of him, and grabbed him.
At this time, the gates on both sides have been fully opened and gradually closed.
Ye Yun glanced at the blocked road ahead, then suddenly jumped to the left.
Just before the gate on the left was about to close completely, I jumped into the gate.
boom--
The gates on both sides are completely closed.
The huge palm grabbed the empty space and raised it upward.
At this moment, there are no new attacks.
A02's guess is correct.
But He Ao and Ye Yun entered different gates respectively. He Ao glanced at the gate switch on this side and found that it had been destroyed and could not be controlled with the mechanical core ring.
The two gates are in an inverted 'V' shape. There is a small window on the gate, and you can see the corridor behind the gate, and you can vaguely see behind the other gate.
He Ao stood behind the small window and could see Ye Yun behind the small window of the gate on the other side.
At this moment, Ye Yun was sticking in front of the small window, talking and comparing to He Ao.
He Ao couldn't hear his voice, but through the shape of his mouth, he roughly understood his words:
'My switch here is broken. See you in the core control room. Pay attention to safety.'
He Ao looked at him and said, 'Be careful.'
Ye Yun nodded.
The two of them turned around almost at the same time and looked towards their own road.
