Gamers Are Fierce - Chapter 1218

[Extra 1]

“So, where is this?”

The boy with a disdainful expression on his face, wrapped his arms in front of him,

leaned his back against the railing on the edge of the high-rise rooftop,

making the light blue jacket scratch the rust on the railing surface, making a rustling sound .

“Insufficient question. You should ask, where, and when.” A

calm voice came from the other side of the rooftop. It

was a middle-aged man with almost no features. He was wearing a brown trench coat and the corners of his mouth were always hanging. With a faint smile, the whole person stood on the smooth railing, overlooking the crowd passing through the building.

“Ha, so this time not only through space, but also through time, right?”

The boy in the jacket pouted indifferently, not surprised by the other party’s words, “If you want to use this method to make me be you As an apprentice, forget it. I’ve said it many times, I’m not interested in supernatural powers or anything.” The

middle-aged man smiled gently, and didn’t try to explain that becoming his apprentice was for ordinary people. What an honorable and precious miracle, and instead

of continuing to display the extraordinary power he possesses,

he stood on the crumbling railing and said calmly: “This is Belgium, the center of Brussels, the Hasselbeck district. 2003 May 18, 2010.”

“Huh?” The

boy raised his brows and couldn’t think about it, “Kuiwei year, Yang, Ding Siyue, Xinmao day. International Museum Day and Jerusalem Day.” The

middle-aged man nodded noncommittally. “In ten minutes, the four-yearly election of voters in the Schaerbeek district of Brussels will officially end. After counting the votes, a little-known female candidate Maria Vindevogel will be successfully elected with 8,706 votes. Today Later, he became a member of the Brussels Regional Council.

Belgium is a constitutional monarchy, the federal parliament is mainly responsible for justice, defense, foreign affairs, etc., while the lower regional councils are responsible for land-related regional development, environmental protection, housing policy, port economy, etc.

Maria Vindevogel will present her personal bill (Private Member’s Bill) in more than a month,

which aims to reduce the tax rate and protect the domestic enterprises.

After the approval of the committee, the approval of the plenary, the signature of the king, and the publication in the “State Gazette”,

The motion became law

and led a Brussels shipping company to choose to cancel its order with the Xin’an Shipyard in Fujian Province.

Xin’an Shipyard. The boy’s pupils shrank

slightly. He remembered clearly that it was the unit where his father worked more than ten years ago.

, led to your father and your mother met in July 2003, and finally led to – your birth. “The

middle-aged man smiled and said, “Don’t be in a hurry, I don’t want to say something like ‘uncommon sons must be different’, but to point out some unknown secrets.

Candidate Maria Vindevogel was not well-received before the election. In fact, her actual number of votes should be 514 votes, not 8706 votes when she was elected. ”

“Huh?” The

young man frowned slightly, “What do you mean?” Election fraud? ”

“No. ”

“Paying money to buy tickets?” ”

“No. ”

“The citizens watched the fun and selected a candidate who was not selected?” ”

“Not yet.” ”

The boy who was constantly denied frowned deeper, looked at the smile at the corner of the middle-aged man’s mouth, lowered his head and thought silently.

“8706 votes, actual 514… difference, 8192.”

81928196

.

This number is inconspicuous in the vast ocean of numbers, but in another field, it has a special meaning.

“2 to the thirteenth power.” The

boy said indifferently: “The software is wrong.”

“Correct.” The

middle-aged man snapped his fingers and said with a smile: “The computers used by modern humans use binary numbers, using strings of 0 and 1. Works.

When the transistor is turned on, it shows a 1, and when the transistor is turned off, it shows a 0.

In an election system, each string corresponds to a power of 2. For

example, 1 is 100000000000000

2 is 010000000000000

3 is 1100000000000000

4 is 001000000000000

5 is 101000000000000

6 is 110000000000000

and so on, 514 votes is 010000001000000

8706 votes is 010000001000100 Did you

notice that between these two strings, only the 13th power of 2 has changed from 0 to 1.

However, Saying it’s a software bug is right and wrong.

The computer used to count the votes in Brussels’ Schaerbeek district has no software problems, no hardware damage, and no hacking claims.

The real key is that there is only one transistor, the transistor that represents 2 to the thirteenth power.

That is, what actually happens is a bit flip. The

middle-aged man said with a smile: “The cause of the bit flip phenomenon is the single event effect – a single space high-energy charged particle hits the sensitive part of the microelectronic device, and extra charge is generated due to ionization, which changes the logic state of the device and interferes with its function. or invalid. Seemingly

noticing the expression on the other’s face, the middle-aged man added: “It was not me, but the universe that released that high-energy charged particle.

The explosion of twilight stars,

supernova events,

super-giant black holes swallowing planets…

The terrifying celestial movements unimaginable by mortals will produce massive amounts of high-energy rays close to the speed of light.

These high-energy rays roam freely in the cosmic vacuum, bent by the gravitational force of celestial bodies, and unless they encounter obstacles, they will roam forever.

And a certain high-energy particle, after tens of millions of time, spanning tens of millions of light-years, fell on the earth, and collided with atmospheric molecules 25km away from the surface, just like a natural collider, producing new high-energy particles.

Neutrons, protons, positrons, photons, muons…

converge into a lightning-like dense and massive stream of particles.

One of the high-energy charged particles fell from the sky in the election of the parliamentarians of the Schaerbeek district of Brussels on May 18, 2003,

and hit the transistor representing 2 to the 13th power in the computer, generating an extra charge, which made the transistor From closing to opening,

it finally led to the 8,192 votes for the candidate Maria Vindevogel, which led to your birth.

This process I call destiny. The

middle-aged man paused and said slowly: “The universe is vast, the vacuum is vast, and hundreds of millions of stars are suspended in it. It seems that there is no connection, but it can always link fate in some unexpected way.

Don’t you want to see it? A future that is vast and full of unknown possibilities. ”

…” The

young man was silent for a long time, and finally nodded. The

middle-aged man smiled and said, “Very well, then from now on, you will be my fifth disciple.” ”

“What? Only fifth? “The

boy’s face collapsed. “Our organization only has three or two big cats and kittens?” The

middle-aged man named Professor waved his hand, “It just opened, there’s no way. ”

“Oh, I always feel like I’m on a pirate ship.” “The

boy complained, “Forget it, what are the other people’s names?” ”

“Your brothers and sisters have given themselves code names, Taihao, out of control, wild fire, door-shaped spikes, you can also get one for yourself.” ”

Tsk, enough to kill Matt.” “The

boy curled his lips and rolled his eyes, “Then I’ll call you LAN. ”

“A local area network?” The

professor nodded with a smile, and opened a portal suspended in mid-air. Before stepping into it with his disciples, he glanced at the sky for the last time.

He didn’t lie, the high-energy particle that changed the trajectory of LAN’s life. , from… the destroyed star in his hometown.

Destiny… The

professor turned around, no longer lingering on the last ray of light from the star in his hometown, and stepped into the portal. The

windbreaker fluttered.
