The Wandering Planet

After handing over Liu Peiqiang to the medical team and sending him back to the Ark, Qiao Lv stayed behind, waiting for Guo Zhengming to arrive later.

Not long after, Guo Zhengming did arrive right after him, and several police cars followed behind him, surrounding Qiao Lv as if he were a wanted criminal.

2B raised his weapon vigilantly, but was told by Qiao Li not to be nervous, if the other party was really malicious, he should have shot directly.

Guo Zhengming approached alone and said to Qiao Lv:

"Re-introduce yourself, Guo Zhengming from the Digital Reality Department of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is here to help you."

"What exactly is it that attacked us?" Qiao Lv asked.

"KILLER version 5.2, a computer network virus. ETO was first spread in the crisis for about a century, and has been mutated and upgraded many times since then. This is a murder virus. It first identifies the identity of the target. There are many ways, Including physical characteristics, genetic testing, etc. Once the target is found and located, the KILLER virus manipulates all possible external hardware to kill. The specific manifestation is what you experience today, as if everything in the world wants to kill you, so at that time Some people call this a modern curse. It’s just that we didn’t expect it to be able to do this.”

"Didn't ETO be eliminated by you a century ago?"

Qiao Lu still remembered that the police in District 5 of New Life had mentioned this incident. It stands to reason that this virus should have been eradicated long ago.

Guo Zhengming replied: "Yes. But for a while, KILLER software was even commercialized. After buying it from the black market on the Internet, as long as you enter the identity characteristics of the target and put the virus on the Internet, then this person will escape and die. It is also difficult to live. So even now, there are still unactivated KILLER viruses lurking on the Internet.”

"The software from a century ago can still run now?" Qiao Lv asked in disbelief.

"Yes, computer technology has stopped improving a long time ago. The software a century ago is compatible with the current system. The KILLER virus killed many people when it first appeared, including a head of state, but it was later replaced by antivirus software and firewalls. Suppressed, gradually disappearing."

There is no doubt that this is the result of human technology being locked by sophons. The development of computer technology has stagnated for a century, which is simply unbelievable.

"However, this version of the KILLER virus has always been in a dormant state, and has never been discovered and recorded by the information security system. We did not know that it has such terrifying power until today."

The puzzle was finally solved. This was the invisible killer who had been trying to kill Qiao Li and the others. Undoubtedly, KILLER version 5.2 was activated after receiving Sophon's order.

"Then what about the disease my companion is suffering from?" Qiao Li continued to ask.

"Gene missiles are also an assassination method used by ETO a century ago. It is a genetically modified virus that is highly contagious, but for ordinary people, it only produces mild symptoms such as mild flu, but this Viruses have the ability to recognize genes and can recognize the genetic characteristics of a person, and once the target is infected, the virus will produce deadly toxins in his blood, which is more lethal than any virus."

This kind of assassination weapon is really terrible. It only needs to spread the virus in the approximate range of the target, and you don't even need to know the approximate range of the target.

So much so that it can be spread around the world, because this virus has little or no pathogenicity for ordinary people,

It can spread quickly and widely, and it is very likely to hit the target in the end.

"Like the KILLER virus, we once thought that the genetic missiles had been completely destroyed by us. Unexpectedly, some of them were lurking until now, and mutated into even more terrifying diseases. They are more targeted, more efficient in killing, and more difficult to kill." distinguish."

Generally, no one would care about this kind of infectious disease with extremely mild symptoms. Gene missiles are almost harmless to ordinary people, and this is the most terrifying thing about it.

"ETO, an anti-human organization, is there such a rampant time?"

Now Qiao Li finally understood why the group of thugs who attacked him on the ground had post-traumatic stress disorder.

The KILLER virus and the gene missile are two pronged, who else can't they get rid of?

Of course, everyone is in danger, lest they become the next assassination target, and talking about ETO is like a frightened bird.

Guo Zhengming said helplessly: "ETO has the technical support of the Three-Body Civilization, even if it is only the most basic technology, it is enough for them to dominate in that era."

"I think it's still the same now." Qiao Li said sarcastically.

Things left over a century ago can still cause such a big turmoil, the technological gap between human civilization and Trisolaran civilization has actually been fully exposed!

Guo Zhengming retorted: "But they have been eliminated. ETO has not carried out activities for a century."

"That's not necessary."

Rather than saying that human civilization defeated ETO, it is better to say that Trisolaran civilization abandoned them.

"The last question, why lock our genes, there should not be any samples of our genes here."

"That's because the sophons of the Three-Body Civilization, this thing is very mysterious, it is a super artificial intelligence made by two-dimensionally expanding protons and etching circuits on it. It can expand bottom-dimensionally, for example, expand from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, and can also shrink to Higher dimensions, it is said that it can reach the eleventh dimension in the universe."

Sophon's principle is obviously beyond the scope of Guo Zhengming's responsibilities, so he can only explain it as straightforwardly as possible:

"Sophons look at three-dimensional space from high-dimensional space, just like we look at a painting on a two-dimensional plane. Of course, we can see our interior, not only the interior, but even the interior of the interior."

In other words, everyone's genes are not a secret in Sophon's eyes, you just need to take a quick look to know.

"At the same time, sophons are also responsible for the communication between ETO and the Three-Body Civilization. High-energy particles can sensitize the film. Every time a sophon passes through the film in a high-energy state, a photosensitive spot is produced on it. They pass back and forth, and these Dots are connected into a row of letters or numbers, or even images, like embroidery. This process is extremely fast, far faster than the speed of film when the camera takes pictures, and the same phenomenon can also be produced on the human retina. This is the sophon and The way humans communicate."

So far, Guo Zhengming has answered all Qiao Lv's questions, and let him understand why he encountered this series of attacks.

Then he changed the subject and said: "Okay, I have answered all your questions, can I ask you to confess now?"

"What?" Qiao Li asked alertly.

"Who the hell are you?"
