Chapter 25
Shadow under the splendor of the First Charter
In the underground parking lot of the gymnasium, at that moment between life and death, Sheilor’s will played the most important role, his that already been like no water dry well body, incredibly would burst out the power once again. That share wonderful power source in his abs and back, fiercely started to spurt out his that accumulated for five years, but never have the chance really completely to outbreak energy.
Except he didn’t knew how to use this kind of energy, he just could let this share of energy occupy his every pair of muscle fiver, every cell, rushed up swiftly, and released it out like the electric current.
Perhaps it’s the biological current, or perhaps it’s the more fantastic existence of the super material, but anyhow, as easy as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, this share of power after help him to kill that militant in front of him, also invaded and attacked his brain nerve by the way, and brought him the unbearable pain.
The most important thing was, when that share of energy transferred upward along his back, when it passed through that piece of chip which each and every federal citizen had, to the micro-electronics operation of the chip, caused the great interference.
Then it had Sheilor’s coma, and the later on cloud computing error of the Charter Bureau central computer. This kind of situation should never happened in the federal history, just didn’t know whether uncle Fengyu had met such opportunistic situation in those years or not.
Just exactly this kind of extremely rare odd condition of the chip, directly caused the nervousness of the Charter Bureau officials, and that huge central computer kept scanning search and positioning repair.
The Sheilor at this time, is the Sheilor in the dream, is the instinct Sheilor, he doesn’t have happiness or fear, he just stares at that line of white characters in a daze, and he doesn’t know what the meaning of this sentence is.
“Establishing the initiative contact, whether to accept?”
Sheilor didn’t understand what initiative contact is, in this dark space, who he wanted to contact, and he even didn’t know why he would stay in this boundless dark space, even… he had already forgot who he was.
In front of his eyes, that line of characters formed by the white light scattered and disappeared slowly, and then formed with the faster speed again, but it’s getting closer to his field of vision.
“Establishing the initiative contact, whether to accept?”
Sheilor didn’t have any response.
The white characters disappeared once again, and then formed again, and got closer a bit.
“Establishing the initiative contact, whether to accept?”
Sheilor still didn’t have any response, because he didn’t know how to accept, he was just startled to look at those white characters in the dark background. He wanted to open his mouth, but he didn’t know where his mouth was; he wanted to reach out his hand to touch that beautiful and graceful shadow dream, but he didn’t know where his hands were.
That line of white characters was dull and steady to disappear once again, and then formed once again, it seemed to be never tired of it.
This dream took place in Sheilor fell into coma three days later, at that time, he was lying in a strange bed, his body kept twitching, his forehead was boiling hot, and his eyes closed tightly. But he was startled and frustrated to look at those white characters before his eyes in that black dream space, he had no idea what happened outside, and what kind of thing was happening because of him.
That day, in that quiet building on the Capital suburban, classified according to the event, the Charter Bureau staff were having the monitoring within the federal range. One of the urgent file marked as the sequence three event, was input to the central computer, and listed as the priority processing level.
Almost at the same time, the central computer gave out the operating and positioning result, through the thick partition wall, the staff of the Charter Bureau was satisfied to look at those few pieces of white paper coming out from the terminal output equipment, and look at those names and serial numbers of the people who died in the Coastal gymnasium.
As long as it’s the thing happened not too long ago, once you gave the exact time point and the accurate position, through the chip in the nape of the human being, the central computer can judge the identity represented by the chip accurately; and through the failure time of the chip, tell the person’s death time. Compared with both, then the staffs can give out the death list close to the truth of the matter.
The splendor of the First Charter covers the whole Federation.
The Charter Bureau is not omnipotent, but the orderly development and harmony of the Federation, couldn’t leave this central computer of the Charter Bureau.
This staff compared the event list faxed from the government with the list in his hand, suddenly found out a strange place. Because that noted red exclusively name on the event list, didn’t appear in the central computer positioning result, that named Sheilor people, still hadn’t been marked the state.
The non first sequence event, in the harsh terms of the First Charter, the central computer Charter Bureau seldom would have the uninterrupted positioning. But in the situation which had already known the name and identity number, the central computer judges a person’s survival state, it’s always a very easy thing.
The expression of this staff became serious, he held the files in his hand, entered the elevator, didn’t know after how long, then the elevator stopped. He walked into the office of the assistant chief, and reported to that behind the desk middle-aged civil official, “there was a problem.”
“Serious?’ the assistant chief of the Charter Bureau didn’t look up at all, just asked calmly. But he thought in his heart that whether the old chief should change his golf to a new one, every afternoon, the chief would have a walk on that piece of lawn, but left these complicated works to him. It’s very hard, but he was also very happy.
“I don’t know whether it should be counted as serious or not?” the staff shrugged his shoulders, handed the files in his hand over and said, “the survival condition of a natural people, the old thing incredibly couldn’t get the answer right away.”
The assistant chief heard the first half of the words, he was shocked to look up, because all the works are conducted according to a quiet standard process in the Charter Bureau, the federal events are separated into twelve sequence levels, how could his this subordinate say the words like “don’t know whether it should be counted as serious or not”.
But after he heard the second half of the words, this assistant chief frowned slightly and said, “whether the materials are not complete? You must know, the old thing is very old, searching in tens of billions population base, it’s not an easy thing originally.”
That staff didn’t have the good temper to walk to behind the desk, pressed on the light screen button and said, “in the list passed to us, exactly has the record of that man’s serial number, because someone had already checked him before, but the result happened that he is the only one couldn’t be confirmed.”
Obviously, the working atmosphere of the Charter Bureau is far from what the outside people guess, it not only doesn’t have the mysterious and stuffy feeling, but instead, it’s very casual between the classes.
“What you talked about is that case happened in the Coastal state?” the assistant chief had his face dignified immediately, because he knew that this case was temporary scheduling. It’s regarded as cutting in line, on the one hand, it’s because that case involved the upper level of the Federation, even involved the military, therefore, it’s set as the third sequence event; but more important was, because the party of that case… is that distant relative family of the old director.
The assistant chief frowned, looked at the kept rolling on the light screen computer statement displays, and silenced for a long time, then he said, “this man called Sheilor… whether he is alive or dead?”
“You ask me, who I supposed to asked?” the staff didn’t have the good temper to backtalk.
The assistant chief was somewhat anxious to touch his that having wrinkles gradually forehead, paused for a moment and then said, “the self-checking program?”
The staff asked a few words softly in the interphones, and then raised his head, shook his head helplessly and said, “the self-checking program was just over, the old thing showed, there is a little logic error in the cloud computing area.”
He looked at the assistant chief, and asked in a soft voice in doubt, “have we had this kind of situation before?”
“I remember that I heard the old director mentioned it once.” the assistant chief rubbed his temple painfully, and kept searching in his mind to recall, “it seemed that it took six to seven days to repair itself.”
The core area of the Charter Bureau was in one place very deep under the ground, in those years, the designed the underground construction of the Charter Bureau Committee of Five, very proudly announced, in the could be imagined civilization era, no any weapon could destroy the core of the Charter Bureau in a short time.
The core of the Charter Bureau, is that central computer, and also is the old thing in the talk of that Charter Bureau staff.
The history of this computer itself was incomparably far back, only judged from the age, it could become the ancestor of all the people in the Charter Bureau. So in the long dull and boring career, those cheerful character working staffs of the Charter Bureau, would give it a such lovely and kind nickname.
The core area is too deep under the ground, although the air-conditioning system kept playing the role, but that kind of psychological problems, still let most of the people, couldn’t adapt to this kind of atmosphere easily.
Fortunately, the operation processing and the information collecting of the central computer, never need people to help. In some kind of sense, in the Charter Bureau, from the director to the cleaning aunt, all the working staffs were all working for this central computer, serving for this old thing, and the old was serving for the entire Federation.
There was nobody in the spacious room, the strong and thick physical deaden, separated the display screens on the alloy surface of the central computer, from those busy working staffs. On that in the mid-air 2-D information display screen, kept flashing the wave signals, video signals and audio signals, which were captured by the electronic monitoring network from all over the Federation. The pictures flashed very fast on the screen, and became the beams of data flow.
These light beams or the data flow, sometimes were like a straight line, sometimes were separated into countless fragments, and sometimes burst forth like the water wave on the 2-D information display screen. With the way only itself could understand, to have the integration, combing and retrieving of the data.
The abnormal logic error of the cloud computing area, didn’t interfere the daily work of the federal central computer, it still silently and loyally filtered all the being able to see pictures, and waited calmly for the command and call from the human beings.
No staff noticed, perhaps they had already got used to pay no attention, on this they never could see clear 2-D information display screen, just right at a very small lower corner of the display screen, appeared a line and a line of small light characters descending orderly.
“Citizen number: captured; name: Sheilor; note: federal criminal case… the parties concerned.”
“Warning, the information node abnormal, positioning failed again.”
“Serious warning: zero point zero zero four percent possibility, the citizen Sheilor had the abnormal situation of the information overlap with the serial number. Reply: establish the initiative contact and try positioning. If the target refuse, then establish the observation system, and submit the report to the government to deal with.
The small characters disappeared, and another line of character kept repeating to appear on the display screen of the federal central computer.
“Establishing the initiative contact, whether to accept.”
