Of course Lin Biao didn't know that the reason why he was the only one who didn't need to sign a confidentiality agreement was because he himself was the country's biggest secret.
Everything necessary for survival and even life can be met here, so it is natural but also unbelievable that a large number of people here are afraid that they will stay in this small closed environment until the end of their lives.
This is something difficult to understand.
A person has a family and social connections. How can he stay underground forever, excluding those who are as different as Lin Biao?
But this kind of thing actually exists.
Either for the beliefs in their hearts, or because they are obsessed with the research work here, or simply because they want to dedicate everything to the motherland. In short, this slightly deformed but extremely shocking research institution appeared in the desert of the northwest. among.
It's just that what Lin Biao doesn't understand is that those highly classified research facilities are placed on the front nine floors, and why the seemingly ordinary living facilities are placed at the bottom. If there is an invasion of foreign enemies, wouldn't it be Is the most precious research information the first thing the other party will come into contact with?
The secretary answered his question almost without thinking.
Because whether in the eyes of the director or at the national strategic level, these researchers are truly indispensable treasures for the country.
Think about it, so many determined researchers who are willing to devote their lives to this cause are more worthy of cherishing than any research results.
The eleventh to fourteenth floors correspond to the rest areas for various research categories, but the number of people on the fourteenth floor is actually much smaller than in the front.
Eleven corresponds to one, two, and three, twelve corresponds to four, five, and six, thirteen corresponds to seven, eight, and nine. As for fourteen, it is actually the residence of the core research members and leaders of each previous layer.
A perfect organizational structure is naturally inseparable from hierarchy. Even if the division of labor is different, there must be a leader who can make decisions and take responsibility at critical moments. These people should also receive slightly special treatment due to emotions and reasons.
But this specialness is only reflected in the residence.
The building structure began to shrink suddenly from the fourteenth floor, and on the fifteenth floor there was only a single large flat floor, a bit like an inverted spire.
Only the director, Lao Ji, lives on this flat floor.
That night, Lao Ji took Lin Biao to meet the leaders of the underground building, the neighbors living on the fourteenth floor.
These scientists, who were old enough to be Lin Biao's father, did not appear very warm when they saw Lin Biao again, nor did they show any coldness.
Although they knew very well in their hearts that anyone who could enter the Second Institute could never be a loser, but it was obvious that they were ideologically the same as the researchers of the Second Artillery and still looked down upon Lin Biao.
Lin Biao didn't care either. He was not good at sociability, but his lack of enthusiasm was in line with his usual style.
But what Lin Biao didn't expect was that he would stay in this underground world for eighteen years.
Eighteen years, for a person, will probably experience a quarter of one's life. For a scientific study, it is not that long. If eighteen years are placed in the long river of history, it will be even more. It's a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.
The entire world has undergone earth-shaking changes in these years, but scientific research is still being carried out in Li Er Institute, and it seems that it has not been affected in any way.
Of course, there are still some impacts. For example, everyone has begun to use smartphones. Although they cannot send messages to others,
After being processed by a huge information system, they can receive news and information from the outside faster. For example, many research institutes finally no longer need to rely on poker and mahjong to relax in their free time, and can also start to catch up on TV series on their mobile phones. .
The development of information technology has been rapid in recent years, and of course, the speed of research in the two institutes is also the same.
Just those researchers on rockets from the first to third floors, in cooperation with the Second Institute, have at least brought the country's aerospace industry to a new level in the past ten years.
This is naturally inseparable from Lin Bian's efforts.
Anyway, for him, it is a process of understanding the new world and adapting to the new world.
On this day, all the floor leaders gathered in the office of the old man on the fifteenth floor. Everyone frowned, as if they had encountered a very difficult problem.
The term "floor leader" originated from Tieba. Everyone felt that this title was quite appropriate, and it has been used ever since.
Eighteen years have passed, and some of the original floor leaders have changed twice. The oldest one is the guy who studies liquids. He is nearly eighty years old and is known as Lao Shui.
As time passed, Lin Zhang looked at these neighbors, some of whom had passed away and were replaced by new ones, and some of whom had completely gray hair. They were still high-spirited colleagues back then, and he couldn't help but sigh a little as he had no feelings.
Sure enough, the biggest enemy of mankind is time.
Only Lin Biao stands out from the crowd, and his appearance has not changed much after so many years.
It stands to reason that he is nearly forty years old at this time and should look like a middle-aged man anyway. However, what is helpless and strange is that he is still the same as when he came here eighteen years ago. It was the gentle young man wearing glasses.
Boom, boom, boom.
The old plan's slightly wrinkled fist banged on the desk, attracting everyone's attention: "Tell me, tell me why I can detect it but can't find the location."
"Judging from the information transmitted from the reaction force, the frequency band of these signals does come from the earth, but the problem is that this frequency band is not within the range that we can track." The layer leader who is mainly responsible for the rocket's central control system frowned Eyebrow said: "Just like the radio we listen to, the existing shortwave frequency is only 82108 Hz, but since the other party sends signals within this frequency, we should be able to track the other party's information transmitter through this frequency, but the result We started from 5 Hz and searched all the way to the extreme value of 223 of the TV signal, but we still couldn't find the signal source of this information."
"This is not the first time." Lao Ji frowned and said: "From 1990 to now, this information has appeared five times in total. Each time, our information network has suffered a major impact. This time it is even more It’s too much, the internet around the world has been cut off, if we don’t come up with something, the higher-ups will probably withdraw our staff from the second institute!”
"However, this time is obviously different from the previous ones. This time the signal fluctuation is not pulse-like and disappears in a flash, but is still active in the information network after stabilizing. As long as we give us some time, Nature can find its source.”
"I don't care what method you use, find it as soon as possible, figure out what it is, where it comes from, and what it wants to do. I have just received an order from the Military Commission. This is the first sequence of events. All departments must Take it seriously and give orders from all levels. All researchers in computer and signal related research areas will put down their work and set up a special research team to report their work to me every day for one month. If no conclusion can be drawn, I will slap you with a big mouth." old
Ji shouted loudly.
After a pause, he said to Lin Biao: "What do you think?"
"Judging from the logic of its appearance, it seems that it appears regularly. For example, the time before I came here happened to coincide with the new millennium, and then in 2008, it was the time of the Sichuan earthquake. Was it the same time as the Sichuan earthquake? Does this matter?" Lin Biao pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.
"Do you have an idea for finding it?" Lao Ji asked.
Lin Biao shook his head: "I can't talk about the idea. I'm just wondering if we can't figure out what it is, can we start with what it wants to do."
"What do you want to do?" Lao Ji then asked.
"It's useless for me to stay here. Why don't you let me out? You can give me feedback and analyze the information at any time. I'll see if I can find a pattern from where and when it appears." Lin Biao said.
Lao Ji pondered for a few seconds. For others, it was extremely difficult to leave this facility, but for Lin Biao, it was an extremely simple matter. What he hesitated about was the feasibility of this method.
"I'll report to the Military Commission."
Finally, he nodded and agreed to Lin Biao's plan.
The special incident handling team is said to be a team, but in fact there are many people. These people are scattered in major military regions across the country. Most of them are active duty soldiers. In addition, there are some who are in key positions in key departments. It is used to discover the most basic problems at any time, but these people have a very high level of confidentiality and cannot be discovered at all if they are mixed in the crowd.
It is these external personnel who feed information back to the top in real time, which prevents the two institutes from running around like headless chickens.
In just three days, Lin Biao secretly returned to the capital on a special plane from the northwest, and members of the special time processing team across the country and even the world began to move.
As long as you walk through it, you will leave traces. As long as you take action, you will find the pattern.
For Lin Biao, an almost omniscient and omnipotent freak, it is not as difficult as imagined to determine the opponent's movements through a period of stable output frequency and behavior.
After only half a month, there was still no progress in the signal band research at the Second Institute, but on Lin Bian's side, major discoveries had been made.
The reason is that after this frequency appeared stably, people began to disappear in China and even around the world.
Then he and the members of the action team gathered information about the missing people and gathered their commonalities. These people had more or less been world-weary or had great obsessions.
There are even some extremely vicious people among them.
There was no progress at the Second Institute, but Lin Biao didn't want to wait any longer. He reported to the organization, hoping to find a way to "disappear" himself to see what the other party was up to.
After all, there had never been a problem on earth that had troubled him for such a long time, which was enough to make him extremely curious about it.
This emotion was so strong that even Lin Biao, a man who felt almost nothing, began to beat rapidly.
He didn't wait for the organization's reply, but he waited for the other party's call.
One day, when he was browsing the latest missing persons information on his mobile phone, a pop-up window on the screen made his pupils shrink slightly.
"Do you want to start a more interesting life?"
This mobile phone was equipped with the Second Office, and it was almost impossible to be hacked. The security level was frighteningly high, so when Lin Biao saw the pop-up window, his hair stood up subconsciously.
He thought for a moment, then resolutely clicked the "yes" button with his thumb.
