The next day's trip didn't bring much surprise to Xiangchuan. Compared with yesterday, except for one turning right into the commercial area and the other turning left into the government agency area, the scenery along the way was similar. In comparison, it was still the same. The business district I visited yesterday was a bit cooler. The streetscape where I am now with large white walls and black tiles... has a beauty that reminds me of the 21st century.
"Brother Xiangqi, should we just go there directly? What if the counter at the Information Bureau happens to be on break?"
Xiangchuan asked, remembering that in her previous life, she repeatedly went to the government hall with her documents to complete the formalities, only to always encounter the annoying situation of the other party's day off.
"It's okay. I made an appointment for you at the Information Bureau last night. In the morning, the Information Bureau replied that I can come and handle it."
"That's good." Kagawa yawned, "If this trip is in vain, then I might as well stay at home and study more new recipes with the chef."
"I really wanted to ask yesterday, why do you call the kitchen AI a little chef?"
"It's easy to pronounce. I went from 'Kitchen AI' to 'Kitchen AI', and my tongue was almost tied. And the little chef didn't protest."
Xiangqi smiled when he heard this: "How could the management AI be angry? If you hadn't been exposed to the turbulent flow of information this time, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been too lazy to enter the kitchen all your life. Now you always go to the kitchen and even call the kitchen AI. Woke up."
"What? Brother Xiangqi, are you jealous? It's okay. As long as you are willing, Brother Xiangqi, I will call you brother even if my nieces and nephews can play soy sauce in the future."
As he said this, Xiangchuan gave a thumbs up, with an expression like "Brother, if nothing happens, I will always support you." Xiangqi almost couldn't help laughing.
Government agencies all adopt the "five days a week and two days off" work system that has been passed down from the AD era. Only the Information Bureau does not have the opportunity to enjoy this treatment.
After the Tianyuan Era, people's lives and the operation of society have been inseparable from information networks. However, the increase in the use of network resources has caused the capacity of the fleet network to far exceed the original estimate when the Twelve Fleets were established. For this reason, the First Fleet They had to agree to the proposal of the Eleventh Ship Group, apply space-time jumping technology to network technology, and successfully build a space-time network with theoretically unlimited capacity. What the space-time network brings is not only unlimited capacity space, but also ultra-long-distance non-delay communication between various ship groups and extremely high-speed cloud processing technology. However, if no matter how sophisticated the network program is, it will be mixed with the floating space in time and space. The garbage in the network will also fall into the dilemma of being unable to operate, and the main job of the Information Bureau is to handle various matters within each ship group for the space-time network.
After the Eleventh Fleet detected information turbulence on the space-time network for the first time, the top management of the First Fleet was in a stalemate over whether the affairs of information turbulence should be under the control of the History Bureau or the Information Bureau. Later, as The areas of old-era things exposed by people exposed to the information flow gradually expanded, and finally it was decided to make the Information Bureau the overall responsible person for those who came into contact with the information flow, and decide which department should handle these contents based on the finds discovered by the contacts.
But for the Information Bureau, this function is somewhat tasteless and it would be a pity to abandon it.
Xiao Wang, who had to say goodbye to his wonderful Sunday breakfast in advance because of a turbulent information flow to register and make appointments for contacts, thought so too.
"Hey, Xiao Wang, aren't you off today? Why are you here at the bureau?"
The receptionist just came back from the tea room and saw Xiao Wang listlessly checking in in front of the elevator with the bracelet-shaped authentication terminal, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Isn't it because I have a reservation today? Oh...my fresh fish noodle soup and dried apple chunks..."
Xiao Wang was crying and rubbing his stomach. He hurried out today and ate a piece of dried vegetables. Now he is still hungry.
"Hey, does that mean someone who has been contacted by the information turbulence wants to register?" The receptionist put down the water glass in his hand, opened the front desk terminal and looked at it, "It's true, they are expected to be here in half an hour."
"Why didn't you come earlier and why didn't you come late? Why did you come only on Sunday? Alas..."
"They may only be free on Sundays, and the contact period for the turbulent flow of information is also irregular. Just think of it as working hard for your salary."
Watching the sighing Xiao Wang get into the elevator, the receptionist picked up the water glass and began to stare in the direction of the door from time to time.
Contact persons of information turbulence are ship group residents who are in contact with the content of information turbulence. Since the Eleventh Ship Group disclosed the technology of information turbulence, Internet enthusiasts in each ship group have been keen to get in touch with the old-era information or alien technology in the information flow. The more advanced the network technology of the ship group, the more people who come into contact with it. The more ships there are, the less likely they will come into contact with a ship group like the Third Ship Group that focuses on other industries.
The last time a contact appeared in the ship group was almost three thousand years ago, right? The receptionist looked at the appointment registration on the screen and thought silently.
"Xiao Wang? It's so early. I thought you would be late."
Director John, who was playing games on the sofa at the door of the office, raised his hand to greet her.
"If you are really late, I will be laid off early tomorrow."
Xiao Wang said angrily.
The information turbulence processing office of the Third Ship Group Information Bureau is an out-and-out idle job. Because it is too idle, the employees here are often borrowed by people from other departments. In the worst cases, even everyone in the office I ran to the agricultural network maintenance team next door to help. For young people who are determined to climb up, this is a department that they can’t wait to go around, but for directors like Xiao Wang and John, who have no career ambitions, they just want to find highly educated people who can get to and from get off work on time and have a stable salary. It can be said to be the paradise of dreams.
"Are we just the two of us today?"
Xiao Wang opened the information login terminal. This terminal must be open as long as it is a working day, but it has not been used for three thousand years. If the electricity bill were not taken over by the government, members of the Information Turbulence Management Office would secretly discuss whether to save the electricity bill of this terminal and give everyone an extra fresh fish noodle soup set at the year-end department annual meeting.
"The person who made the appointment to register is just a minor. There are no troublesome procedures, and her guardian agent will follow today." John opened the terminal and looked at the application form he received this morning. "Fortunately, it's just a child. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to call someone from the health department for a full-body examination."
"After all, those who have technical contacts like to conduct neurotransformation in private... I don't know what they think, it's just for the random flow of information."
"From a technician's point of view, the antique technology inside is definitely of little value, but it is extremely valuable to other fields." Director John cut the terminal page to a promotional web page, "The Eleventh Ship Group detected five thousand years ago At the same time as the information flow is turbulent, the incomplete "Romeo and Juliet" successfully obtained in the information turbulence is still the biggest signature of the Twelfth Fleet, and the guys at the Cultural Affairs Bureau are very greedy."
"But what those who came into contact with later found were just strange books and pictures, and no new culture was developed."
"Those are all treated as treasures by the Historical Research Institute, and ah," Director John lowered his voice subconsciously, "the truly valuable discoveries may not have been officially put on the table."
When Xiao Wang heard this, he couldn't help but shudder. It was not like she hadn't heard the rumors about the government and information flow in the First Fleet. For the sake of her stable salary, she decided to keep her mouth shut.
At this time, the communication terminal next to the office rang. It was the receptionist:
"Xiao Wang, Director John, the guests have arrived."
The Information Bureau was unremarkable on the outside. Apart from being relatively tall, Xiangchuan even felt that it was not as good as his own home, but as soon as he entered, he found that there was a lot going on inside. Worthy of being the government department with the most advanced information technology, the lobby is decorated with spiral-shaped virtual equipment. The setting style is similar to the cockpit of a star battleship. A translucent display screen hangs at the top of the front desk, with information scrolling on it. The operation status of each department. Although it was a Sunday, most departments were "working normally", with people and service robots constantly guiding guests in and out of public elevators.
Well, I will never work here after I graduate.
Kagawa thought with a smile on his face.
"Are they Ms. Kagawa and Mr. Xiangqi, the guardian agent, who made the appointment last night to be contacted by the information turbulence?" The receptionist at the front desk smiled and checked their terminals. "We have just informed the information turbulence processing office of their visit. Please follow this guide robot to the designated floor."
As he said that, the floor next to the two of them opened, and a penguin-shaped robot came up. Kagawa was stunned for a moment.
They are engaged in network technology and Penguin. Could this be the Tianyuan Branch of X News?
I followed Penguin into the elevator, but I didn’t expect that the elevator didn’t go up, but down. After arriving at the minus 24th floor, I saw a mature woman with a capable temperament and a middle-aged man wearing glasses waiting at the door. With.
"Hello, Ms. Kagawa, welcome to the information turbulence processing office."
Suddenly, Kagawa had the illusion that he was going to join some mysterious chuuni organization.
There must be no such thing in public departments directly under the government. In fact, Xiangchuan's registration procedures were completed very quickly. Xiao Wang scanned Xiangchuan's terminal when registering information, and the list of family members that popped up made her tremble. Sit down and complete a series of registration procedures in sequence.
Now the last type of information turbulence contact is left...
"Confirm again, the type of information you are currently exposed to is imaging and food manufacturing, right?"
"Yes."
As he spoke, Kagawa took the box handed over by Xiangqi, and when he opened it, there were fragrant rice flour cakes and egg pancakes inside.
"This is a food made based on information about food manufacturing, and this..." She opened the "The Legend of Zhen Huan" stored in her terminal, "This is an image I got in the turbulent flow of information."
It smells so good! I want to eat!
Xiao Wang looked at the yellow cakes and egg pancakes in the box and swallowed hard.
"Okay, please show me your personal terminal."
Kagawa placed the terminal on the table, and then instantly stretched out a columnar body from the table and pressed it against the round hole on the terminal.
"It has been registered for you. Please log in the information that is expected to be used for network dissemination and commercial use in the future on the personal registration page of the government program when you go home, and then authorize it to be used by others."
Is this good? Xiangchuan picked up his terminal and fiddled with it, and found that there was indeed a personal registration page in the government program on the homepage. She originally wanted to check if Geegle was alright, but now she couldn't just open it in front of so many people.
"If you get other types of information in the information turmoil in the future, do you still need to register here?"
Kagawa asked, she didn't want to run around all day.
"You can use the identification program of personal registration to identify new information. If the identification is wrong, it can be transferred to manual identification, and we will process it online for you here."
So that's quite convenient. Kagawa nodded with satisfaction.
After Xiangqi and Xiangchuan left, Xiao Wang immediately ordered an expensive takeaway, which shocked Director John.
"It smells so good." Xiao Wang smelled the sweetness of the cake remaining in the air, "Is this the charm of the turbulent flow of information? I feel it."
