Chapter 582 Port Planet
"Hello again, Dragon Crystal."
Inside the company, there is a sun terrace 312. With the transparent door, the entire terrace seems to be suspended in the sky. You can see the slowly moving clouds around without looking up.
Rather than a terrace, this is more like a more private meeting room. Company employees who want to use it need to report 100 hours in advance and get a reservation time within 48 hours.
But for employees of Topa and Long Jing's level, they can naturally be used at any time, and even exquisite desserts and wines are prepared in advance.
Of course, the company claimed that there was no monitoring here and that users were guaranteed absolute privacy, but Topa certainly didn't believe it.
As a member of the market development department, no one understands the headquarters' style better than her. Not to mention monitoring, I'm afraid every inch of the entire headquarters is under the watchful eyes of the sky.
All data will fall vertically into the deep sea, and then rise to the hub after being processed, and finally be automatically classified and labeled, turning into pieces of intelligence in the archives.
"I'm sorry for what happened in Pinoconi," Long Jing did not evade his own fault. "I am half responsible for the damage to the topaz. At that time, I took it for granted and underestimated the opponent's strength."
"After all, this is a decision made after everyone discussed it together."
Topa didn't care much about it. Being recalled to the headquarters this time was meant to rebuild the cornerstone. After all, although the ten Stone Heart men could be replaced, it was not so easy to work them into the current tacit understanding.
The warm sunlight created by Tianyan filled every corner of the terrace. Long Jing reached out to touch the colorful butterfly among the flowers. The moment her fingertips touched the butterfly, they penetrated the butterfly's body and fell into the air.
There was some doubt in Topa's eyes when he looked at Long Jing, "You have changed a lot." The Long Jing in front of her gave her a completely different feeling than before. Should she say that she has become more stable or calmer?
“Nothing has changed here.”
Long Jing replied calmly, Pierpoint seemed to have never changed. It has been a most seamless machine since its birth. Every employee is like a screw in the core of this huge business...or maybe it can't even be called a screw.
She joined the company just to become stronger and to find the meaning of becoming stronger.
There is no point in more people joining the company just to survive or to get a decent job. No matter what the purpose is, it makes no difference after entering the company.
And Long Jing did not talk more with Topa, nor did he mention Zhenzhu's name, as if he didn't care at all. "The meeting is tomorrow, go to bed early."
She nodded calmly to Topa, her bright red hair tossing away, and turned to grab the phantom door handle and leave the terrace.
The virtual curtain that fell from the sky also faded away, revealing its true appearance. Light green lines full of technology converged along the wall to the top. Whether it was the sun or the clouds, the sky was also far away. Here it was just a string of precise data.
Topa picked up the champagne, which was at least real, smiled, put it back, and left the room as well.
When the door is completely locked, everything that happens in the room will flow into the ocean along the data stream. After entering the hub, it will be labeled A-level and stored in the archive.
The Heavenly Eye has never existed, yet has always existed everywhere.
After passing through the curtain to check again, Topar returned to his home in Pier Point. Although it was his home, he could not go back once a year.
The layout of the room is not cozy at all, it is basically a templated decoration.
After walking into the house, Topa stretched and sat on the soft sofa, her eyes fixed on the holographic projection that automatically appeared on the wall, while her mind was filled with everything she had seen under the guidance of Zhenzhu not long ago.
Under Zhenzhu's leadership, Topa came into contact with the real market development department for the first time, where he also saw the truth about the "Hub".
The Sky Eye Hub is referred to by the company as the core intelligent AI for building Pierpoint. As the hub of intelligent management, the Sky Eye carries all the data and information flows of the Pierpoint star field, analyzes and collects them, and finally outputs the calculation results.
Everyone believes that the Sky Eye is just a super AI. No matter how sophisticated and complex it is, it will never reach the level of the Master of Knowledge. After all, it is difficult for a second [intelligence] to appear in the universe.
Topa naturally thought so, so he felt unspeakable fear after witnessing the truth with his own eyes.
The Sky Eye Hub is nothing more than an information converter built based on the [sea]. Its only function is to convert the information output by the sea into universal language.
"The hub of the company, the capital center of the world, its most proud intelligent hub... is just a translator," said Zhenzhu, who was standing in the center of countless upward golden data streams.
Billions of golden streams of information flow eternally in the depths of the ocean, and that is the biggest lie that the Interstellar Peace Corporation has created for the universe.
What is the truth?
The dome in a cool white hue cast a cozy light, and as the entrance sensor light automatically lit up, the visitor knocked off the dust on his boots outside the door and walked into the living room barefoot.
"Have you seen dragon crystal?"
"Yeah, but we only talked about the usual things," Topa looked at Zhenzhu. The omnic lady was still as graceful as ever, stepping barefoot on the soft white carpet.
Topa waved his hand to turn off the interstellar news in the background, and stared straight at Zhenzhu, "Are you so sure that he will show up in Pierpoint?"
And it appeared at such a special time point. No matter how you look at it, the probability is pitifully low. The intelligent machine does not have the ability of the fairy boat fortune teller.
Zhenzhu said calmly: "Using scientific analysis, I can tell you that An Ming would appear at the company headquarters for that information, but it would be easier to explain it in another way..."
"Since it's him, then it will be so."
"You mean metaphysics?"
"No, it's fate."
Zhenzhu also showed a self-deprecating smile. As an intelligent machine, she originally thought that everything in the universe was ultimately the result of complex and precise calculations, but she never expected that one day she would acknowledge the existence of so-called fate.
But sometimes fate is the only answer, so no matter what, An Ming will arrive at Pierpoint at this moment and participate in this full meeting of the ten Stone Hearts.
Topa was silent for a long time, then he looked at the android girl in front of him and said, "You have changed a lot too." If dragon crystal is for the pursuit of power, then what is the purpose of the pearl?
"Maybe," Zhenzhu did not deny it, but accepted it calmly, "but my purpose has not changed."
What has changed is only the way of moving forward; the destination is always there waiting for her.
"After the meeting, where should the ten people of Stone Heart go?" Topa looked at the unchanging scenery outside the window. She seldom came back here. Everything here was so precise and orderly, but it lacked human feelings.
The only ones who can stay here are machines, or people who have lost their souls and voluntarily become machines.
This is the law of the company. It’s not that everyone is unaware of the price they have to pay to come to the company, but there are still countless people who continue to dedicate their souls to it.
Pierpoint is indeed the destination of all the wealth in the world and the last stop for the dissipation of souls.
Topa didn't know what the "sea" she witnessed underground was. She didn't know, and neither did Zhenzhu. It was beyond the scope of human cognition, let alone understanding it...even getting close to it would cause strong mental stimulation.
If one wants to touch the truth of the sea, or more precisely, its essence, one needs authority at least at the level of a messenger.
But Topal guessed that even the envoy would not be able to learn more core information about the sea, but the [Diamond] must have information about the sea.
But no matter what the reason, Diamond never mentioned the existence of the sea to the Man with Stone Heart, but Topal's trust in Diamond never changed.
All the Stoneheart Ten members were selected by him personally and awarded the [Cornerstone]. Diamond has always emphasized team trust and cooperation, but as the founder of the Stoneheart Ten, he rarely shows up.
If Topaz must be used to describe diamond, it would be [eternity], [power] and [wealth].
As indestructible as diamond.
Of course, the most important thing is that Diamond is a true angel, a protective angel.
He is also a P47-level board candidate and participates in formulating the company's development plan as a core decision-maker.
But Topa was still a little curious. If An Ming, who possessed the mark of protection, came to the company, what level would he be assigned to?
On the remote icy planet Yalilo 6, that was the first time Topa and Anming met. The mark of protection shone on the boy’s forehead, which was a true miracle of protection... According to the results of the subsequent report, the upper echelons called this incident an oracle.
But this so-called "oracle" was sealed and destroyed, and no one knew about it.
Imagine that when a person carrying the mark of protection appears in Pierpoint, his influence is no less than that of Clipper's own son. The resources he obtains will naturally not be just a title of a rank, but more, or even resources to overthrow the entire existing board system.
Some people don't want to see such a future, so An Ming's existence is unknown to anyone.
But there is another thing that is equally unknown, and that is the name "An Ming", which had already appeared and been sealed in the archives of Tianyan in the distant past.
Until now, before the meeting began, all Topa could feel was the surging undercurrent of madness. Perhaps the meeting was just the beginning of another curtain.
And at the real center of this storm, people have already taken their seats and are waiting for the guests to arrive.
Port Planet [System 13:2143] - Anchorage No. .
If you look down from a high place, you can clearly see that the entire port planet is filled with densely packed spaceships. Under orderly disassembly, the spaceships in the port go in and out, like a precision machine.
Rather than calling it a port planet, it would be more accurate to say that the entire planet has been developed into an interstellar port. There are even 24 ports of this size.
When the spacecraft enters the range of the positioning cursor, it will begin to automatically park under the traction of gravity. At the same time, the lengthy parking regulations sent by the Interstellar Peace Company will be sent to the interior of the spacecraft in advance, and can be read in detail while waiting for parking.
“Is there really anyone who will finish reading this?”
Hua Huo curled her lips and turned off the projection of regulations in silence. She was too lazy to even finish reading the regulations of the girl in her dream, let alone the company's suspension notice which started at 70,000 words.
Come on, 70,000 words are enough for her to finish a shorter, melodramatic romance novel. Who would want to read such a boring thing?
An Ming put a crimson coat on Hua Huo's shoulders and said, "The temperature at the port is not high, don't catch a cold." He knew that Ling Shi would not catch a cold, but that was not a reason for him not to care about Hua Huo.
“Eh… Yeah!”
Hanabi was stunned for a moment, then she smiled with joy.
She was rarely cared for and had almost forgotten the feeling of being cared for. Now she felt An Ming's warmth again and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.
At the same time, I also made up my mind to speed through Pierpoint, leaving more time to slowly pass through Anming, and leaving more time for the feast.
Obviously, An Ming is the "big meal".
However, before leaving the spaceship, Huo Huo showed a rare reluctance to leave. This spaceship was really too comfortable, so comfortable that she wanted to lie in it for a month.
"Brother An Ming, we will also buy a spaceship in the future, and we will also decorate it so comfortably."
"If Hanabi likes it, it's not impossible to just buy the Star Train," An Ming replied with a smile. Of course, this is unlikely, unless he is really the reincarnation of Akivali.
"That's very joyful~"
Hanabi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile. If the destiny was to be promoted through a specific ceremony, then buying the Star Train would definitely be enough for Hanabi to be promoted to the new Star God of Joy.
It seems that Aha is not very happy either. He is a loser who couldn't even get the Star Train. Aha is a winner without any effort!
Holding Hua Huo's arm, An Ming and the other person left the spaceship and came to the temporary parking buffer area. The alloy ground was covered with a layer of moist water vapor, and the cleaning robots on both sides were performing efficient cleaning work.
"It's really a pure port," An Ming couldn't help but sigh. It can be said that the entire planet exists for the port. I don't know what this place would look like before it became a port planet.
As the spacecraft was towed to the green screen for routine inspection, two light screens appeared in front of An Ming and Hua Huo at the same time.
[PM13:32, welcome two family guests, please show your company pass]
An Ming took out the pass ID that he had prepared in advance. The light curtain turned into a clear yellow light and disappeared after being touched. [You have completed the test. Please arrive at Pierpoint within 12 system hours.]
【Welcome to Pierpoint】
The projected text disappeared, and An Ming realized then that everything within his sight since leaving the spacecraft was a mechanical and intelligent process, with fully automatic detection during the process.
Hanabi said with boredom: "The company is still so boring, and I'm still on the wanted list." She let go of the fox mask, with some speechlessness in her eyes.
It would be better to say that she and An Ming are both on the company's list of key targets, but unfortunately, no matter how advanced the detection is, it is impossible to detect the true face under the Fool's Mask.
repair!
