Chapter 1148 Tracing the Mystery
The laptop has been started.

The password was also cracked.

Next, naturally, is to search for information.

In the corner of the screen, Ozer's face appeared. He had been compressed from a three-dimensional being into a two-dimensional flattened form, and his mouth opened and closed anxiously as he spoke:
"Miss in red, please hurry! I don't want to be captured by Bell Labs! My God... forgive me..."

"Stop talking so much nonsense, it's not easy for me either!" Liu Hongyi pushed the mouse with difficulty. "Look for any logs, files or things like that—things that only you would understand."

"How should I know!" Ozer almost cried. "This is the ancient Pineapple system! We're using the Bell programming language now; they're completely different systems!"

Liu Hongyi thought for a moment and made a decisive decision:
"Forget it, let's move everything back first."

"W-what, move...move it back?"

"Yes, this computer, and those servers."

Ozer's flat face immediately went blank.

He first looked at the avatar bouncing around on the keyboard, then looked down at his own virtual body, and for a moment he couldn't figure out how to perform the "move" action.

If we were to invite those individuals—

Putting aside whether it would trigger the museum's security procedures, the mere fact that several large servers suddenly disappeared from the memorial would immediately raise suspicions, even if Bell Labs didn't take these old relics seriously.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu Hongyi tapped the screen with her small fist on the blank-minded Oze. "Of course, I'm not really carrying him on my back!"

"You mean... a backup?"

"Of course!" She tilted her head, remembering something. "By the way, how much capacity do you have?"

……

That's why we're in this situation now.

Ozer's memory usage surged to 99.76%.

His mind was filled with a buzzing sound, as if hundreds of millions of tiny bees were hovering in his consciousness, each byte feeling incredibly heavy.

Now I can finally uninstall it.

Almost the instant the data stream was separated from his consciousness structure, Ozer's entire projection brightened up.

A strange sense of relief even appeared on his face, like someone who had been constipated for three days finally finding a toilet on the morning of the fourth day.

He quickly pulled the idea back.

Don't share this with others and embarrass yourself.

Liu Sheng reached out and took it, and the projector of the laptop and server appeared in the center of the room.

"Thanks a lot."

Oze scratched his head. "N-nothing..."

Golden threads extended from Liu Sheng's ten fingers and fell into the illusory image.

“If information related to ‘General Hongshan’ has been subtly ingrained in the public’s mind since very early on, then we should start by checking the earliest landing records, administrative documents, environmental reports, personnel lists, and contact records, etc., and perhaps we can find the reason.”

Liu Hongshan's eyes immediately lit up.

Liu Hongyi silently held her hand from the side.

Liu Sheng quickly focused his attention.

Soon, she discovered that Oze wasn't exaggerating—this thing was indeed quite old-fashioned.

The underlying logic of the system is completely different from that of today. It uses a very old architecture language and encryption algorithm, which was obviously brought from the Federal Empire in the early colonial period. It is not the same as the Bell language that became popular later.

But for her, it was something she was very familiar with.

Various data flowed through my mind, keywords lit up one by one, gradually weaving into a network.

It's estimated that she'll soon be able to construct a complete story from it.

Beside her, Liu Hongyi crossed her arms, looking regretful. "It's a pity that the outer walls of Bell Labs are like a tortoise shell; there's no way to just sneak in."

The Taibai Sword Immortal looked indifferent. "What's so difficult about that? Just one sword strike."

"You struck with your sword, and then we were all locked onto by the missiles of the Spectral Star?" Liu Hongyi covered her mouth and smiled. "Although we want to be famous, we don't want to be famous like this."

Even Liu Hongshan nodded vigorously in agreement. "Sigh, alright, the time isn't right yet."

The Taibai Sword Immortal stroked his longsword with considerable regret.

"Moreover, there's no way to break through from the StarNet either," Liu Sheng said while looking at the data.

The voice of "the world" immediately rang out:

Since the last incident, Bell Labs has clearly increased its vigilance.

Li Ming chimed in, "When you approached the perimeter of Bell Labs, I tried to break through from the external nodes, but we quickly encountered an enhanced protection system that even 'The World' couldn't handle."

The world silently said: [This can't be resolved for now; the key is the difference in cultivation levels between the two systems.]

"Cough cough."

Liu Sheng quickly changed the subject:
"It's possible that our actions last time alerted them, or it's possible that the closer we get to Bell Labs, the higher the defense level becomes, or perhaps it's a combination of both."

As Ozer listened to the conversation of these madmen, he silently shrank his non-existent neck, trying to minimize his presence.

These people's opening lines were always about "hacking into Bell Labs" or "splitting Bell Labs in two with a single sword strike," which made this genuine Bell follower feel "chilled up."

However, he didn't dare to say anything, otherwise what if these guys deleted him with one click?
Just then, Liu Sheng finally finished reading through all the documents. Although they were all old relics, there was more information left behind than he had imagined.

It seems Bell Labs was overly confident that no one would know how to use these antiques, and they didn't even erase the data, perhaps as a tribute to Bell's father.

She slowly raised her head, meeting Liu Hongshan's hopeful gaze. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

The light in Liu Hongshan's eyes dimmed.

"However, I confirmed one important thing from this."

"Is it related to that girl from the Ling family?" Taibai Sword Immortal immediately asked.

"Follow me first."

After saying that, Liu Sheng got up and led everyone to the beach.

At this moment, many oil painting scenes are still scattered in the Palm Garden courtyard, but the figures in the paintings have now returned to the old house made of oil paint, probably to rest.

But the beach wasn't empty.

A huge instrument is suspended above the sea.

That thing looked extremely strange.

The main body resembles a spider, with several long legs supporting its body high. Its torso is covered with holes, and it is both exhaling gas and re-inhaling the misty substance, as if it is breathing.

Tentacles and vines entwine everywhere, busily stitching, piecing together, and engraving inscriptions.

"What is this?" Ariel looked up.

"This is my new detector/receiver."

Oze asked, "Detection and reception? For what purpose?"

Zhang Lan emerged from the vent and said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's to recruit people for us."

Taibai Sword Immortal: "Recruiting? How do we do that?"

Ariel curiously touched the strange, enormous beast.

Ozer circled around it, trying to figure out what was going on.

Liu Sheng slowly explained:

"Didn't you just come back from that memorial? You should have all seen the working environment of Dr. Bell I back then?"

Everyone naturally remembered the bungalow hidden among the green trees.

“I remember.” The Taibai Sword Immortal frowned, his thick white eyebrows furrowing. “But what does that have to do with our recruitment?”

Liu Sheng looked up at the crowd:

“Have you ever considered that if Dr. Bell I had been one of the first colonists, starting from scratch, then none of these floating islands would exist on this gas giant?”

"So...where did all those green trees and grass come from?"
