Chapter 1 Engineer
There was a faint buzzing sound from the cold steel deck, empty and deep, and after the occasional sound, there was silence.
Deadly silence.
A young man in an engineer's uniform was trembling and hiding behind a metal workbench. He was anxiously fiddling with a laptop computer in front of him, which was the most advanced model, with multiple interfaces and could connect to many devices on the spacecraft.
Now, there are several data cables inserted on this portable computer. Because it is not organized, the excess cables are randomly thrown on the ground, like hair all over the ground. Some of these data cables are connected to devices that look like helmets, and some are connected to a data interface on the wall.
The young man was obviously very scared, as if he was afraid of something. While operating the computer, he would look at the door from time to time, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly break in.
This is an accessories room.
On the spacecraft, there are many similar accessories rooms, which are not large in size, just like here at most only a dozen square meters, specially prepared for engineers who maintain the spacecraft. The cabinet that has been opened next to it is extremely messy, and the data cables are obviously taken out of the cabinet.
The door of the accessories room was locked, but this door could not make the young engineer feel a little safe. Because of the nervousness, he mistook several lines of code when he tapped the keyboard. Under normal circumstances, such low-level mistakes would not be made by an engineer of his level.
His uniform was clearly marked with the logo of a level five engineer. Among the more than 1.2 million senior engineers on the spacecraft, there will be no more than 500 people who can meet the level five engineer standards.
In other words, he is a true genius, the elite among the elite of human beings.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" The engineer kept whispering in a low voice when he stared at the progress bar on the screen, but soon, the results displayed on the screen changed his expression.
"Damn it, this is not a control area, it cannot be connected to the elite area. It must be a special interface. Damn it, damn it, damn it, so I can't go back? No, I can't stay in this damn place, otherwise I will die here like everyone else." The engineer murmured to himself, then seemed to remember some terrifying memories, his face full of horror.
Time went back two hours ago.
As the top engineer in the human world, Jiang Yu is actually over fifty years old.
But thanks to the rapid development of human technology, even when he was on Earth, his body had no problems. Especially after the bioprinter was manufactured, any organ of human beings could be manufactured through bioprinters, and even a printed body was completely made from head to toe. It was also because of this technology that the Earth United Government approved the entire human migration plan, that is, the Earth II plan.
As a top engineer, Jiang Yu naturally participated in this huge plan. In the artificial space, his consciousness data was of course stored in the elite area.
Before being issued the withdrawal order, he also had fun in the ‘Plot World’ he participated in the production, enjoying the sensory stimulation brought by the top virtual world.
The plot world is a game space for humans in the elite area.
When he received the order, he complained. After all, he was carrying out a very important task in the plot world, but he still carried out the withdrawal process with several engineers who also received the order.
Several of their engineers agreed that this was just an ordinary emergency maintenance task and that soon they could come back and continue their fun.
Half an hour later, they woke up in the printed bodies that had been paired with "Earth 2".
Until this time, everything was still normal. Jiang Yu was even wearing clothes and talked about the "Plot World" with several colleagues.
Humans in the elite area have awakened according to the plan five years ago. In fact, the "Plot World" is mainly to restore the awakened human consciousness to adapt. Of course, human consciousness can not sleep, just because it saves the energy of the spacecraft.
"Old Jiang, your exploration in the plot world is not very good. I heard that I was beaten by Professor John a few days ago. I lost a lot. Do you want Lao Zhang and I to avenge you?" Another engineer said with a smile. Maybe it was because he had just been pulled out and the consciousness was injected into a new body. The engineer smiled half-faced, half-faced and didn't, and looked very strange.
Jiang Yu was so angry that he said stubbornly: "That's only temporary. Next time I will beat Old John to beg for mercy. Please watch."
The other two engineers obviously didn't take it seriously, and they both laughed, but Jiang Yu was not a joke. He really had his own way.
Of course, this method is not very glorious because he intends to ‘cheat’.
"Old Zhao, your body movements and expressions don't feel very coordinated. There should be something wrong with the control program. I'll show you." Jiang Yu took out a new portable computer and pretended to test it. In fact, he secretly uploaded a data packet he had developed long ago to the 'artificial space' from this portable computer through the interface dedicated to the bioprinter.
The plot world is a program embedded in artificial space. It is impossible to modify the original data from the inside, and even Jiang Yu, who has participated in the development, cannot do it.
To modify basic data, it is only from the outside, and it also requires extremely high permissions and specific locations. Jiang Yu just took a clue and borrowed the bioprinter data interface to decipher uploads. Even other colleagues who have reached level five engineers may not be able to do this.
Jiang Yu was very proud of this because he might be the only one who could do such a thing. Unfortunately, he couldn't promote his genius and intelligence.
Jiang Yu's technique was very fast. He connected to the network in the control room, cracked the data lines, cracked passwords, uploaded data, and completed it in one go.
"Old Zhao, there is no problem with this body. I'll restart it for you." After Jiang Yu said that, he entered a few lines of commands and then unplugged the data cable.
"Speaking of this, why did we suddenly call us here? I didn't say anything above, and it made it mysterious." Lao Zhao said.
"Who knows this!" As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, a sharp alarm sounded.
Jiang Yu will never forget what happened next in his life.
A loud noise came, and the hatch door was destroyed by a huge force.
Blood donation splashes.
Lao Zhao and another engineer died tragically, and screams from outside.
Everything is so chaotic, like a nightmare.
...
The prompt on the screen interrupted Jiang Yu's memory.
"Calm down, calm down, I am the most elite of human beings. There are only more than 500 people in the world who can reach the fifth-level engineer rating. For ordinary people, we are gods. We have created artificial spaces and invented bioprinters. We can do everything. Yes, I am an elite. As long as we engineers want, there is nothing that we cannot do. I am a data program in artificial space. I am involved in the development of the data program in artificial space. As long as we can find data channels and remove consciousness data from my current printed body, I can escape danger. Yes, I can definitely find a way to go back. As long as the consciousness data is transmitted back to artificial space, it will be safe." The engineer took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"The firewall levels in artificial spaces are different. The network defense in the elite area is the strongest. I don't have time to break through now, but there are civilian areas. Yes, civilian areas, I am simply a genius. Why didn't I expect at the beginning that civilian areas have weak defense levels. I once participated in writing code. As long as I make a little modification to the program, I can use the commands I set... It's......"
Jiang Yu looked at the 'connected' displayed on the screen and almost shouted out excitedly.
However, as a top engineer, Jiang Yu knew that now is just the first step. He needs some other steps to transmit his consciousness data back.
At this moment, Jiang Yu's fingers were typing on the keyboard quickly, and murmured to himself: "There is no special transmission device here. I can't call the consciousness injection program directly, but it doesn't matter. I can use the extraction program instead. Even if the extraction program set by the system must be bound to the bioprinter, this is not difficult for me. I just need to modify some initial code, so that the consciousness of someone in the civilian area can be converted and my consciousness. At that time, I go in and he comes out. I have ready-made code for the conversion program and don't need to be written separately, which can save time. What I lack the most now is time."
A few minutes later, Jiang Yu stopped writing code. In his opinion, this kind of transformation consciousness had no psychological burden for him. Although he knew that once the unlucky guy replaced him, he would die, but what did it have to do with him? As long as he died, it would be fine.
At the same time, he heard a rustling sound outside the metal door.
It was like something was rubbing against the hatch door.
This aroused Jiang Yu's huge fear.
The horrifying memories swept over again before. He immediately shivered and put on the helmet with the data cable next to him on his head, and then tweaked a few buttons.
A simple interface popped up on the screen, with an input box on it. Jiang Yu knew that it was necessary to input the converted consciousness data id. He immediately opened another interface, and various consciousness data ids kept jumping out of it. Each of these represents a person.
Bang!
A loud bang broke the previous calm. The alloy-made hatch door was actually deformed by a blow, protruding a large piece.
Jiang Yu's face changed wildly. He knew that there was not much time, so he could only choose an id number casually, then paste it in the number bar of the conversion program, and press the confirmation button in a hurry.
Next, the screen prompts the data transmission to begin, and then a progress bar pops up, which shows 1%…2%….
"Hurry, hurry up!" Jiang Yu was anxious, but he had done everything he should do at this time, and it would be useless to be anxious.
This time, the God of Luck did not favor him. When the progress bar reached 5%, the cabin door was directly knocked open. Then Jiang Yu only saw a black shadow flying over and stabbed into his chest like an arrow. In an instant, Jiang Yu was like a balloon that was pumped with air, with a look of fear and unwillingness on his face. While he was limp, he wanted to catch anything, but he couldn't catch anything. His fingers pressed the keyboard a few times and then stopped moving.
Until his consciousness disappeared, the progress bar on the screen was only 7%.
But he just pressed the keyboard randomly and didn't know what program he touched. Another window that opened prompted: "The data of the plot world entrance was successfully implanted, the target, artificial space, all civilian areas, and the plot world entrance were successfully opened!"
"Warning, this operation violates Section 6 of the United Government Earth II Immigration Act. Please note that you have violated the law."
"Warning, you've broken the law."
The warnings that kept beating on the screen were obviously no one paid attention to now.
Because at this time, Jiang Yu's consciousness had died.
The printed body heartbeat disappears and enters a state of death. Naturally, the conscious data stored in the brain will also disappear.
After a moment, another warning popped up on the screen of the device that had fallen to the ground.
"The data conversion error occurred, and no consciousness data that needs to be transferred was detected...the data conversion error occurred, and no consciousness data that needs to be transferred was detected!"
The warning is displayed several times, and the program interface on the screen will automatically jump.
"Timeout, the conversion program cannot be executed, and the one-way extraction program is executed, and the current progress is 40%.
At the same time, the hole that was originally penetrated by a ball of black matter was now slowly filled with the black matter squirming. Finally, the wound was filled with black matter. If you look closely, you can see a strange black egg moving in the heart of the body. Then the heart that had stopped moving slowly began to beat, and then not only the heart, but the whole body began to twitch slowly.
Outside the broken cabin, black shadows kept wandering, but no black shadows were paying attention to the "corpse" lying inside. The Earth II spacecraft was very big. At this moment, from a certain passage, some people would occasionally scream when they were dying, but they would soon fall into silence.
A few minutes later.
Chapter completed!
