Did the world end today?

Chapter 3 I really can't eat anymore

"So you mean, the entire human world only has one hour left?"

"So that's why you're trying to seize the air launch site and escape in a spaceship?"

Before the skull could finish speaking, Lin Xu interrupted:

"No."

"The doomsday prop was just a ruse; I actually just wanted to sneak in and steal their flight control program data."

As soon as he finished speaking, a look of "I knew it" flashed in the skull's eyes.

"I knew it!"

"There aren't that many doomsday survival freaks in this world. This is what businessmen should be doing!"

"Then there's no need for further discussion. Let's go in and out quickly, infiltrate, search, and then retreat!"

"Drone reconnaissance complete, security position confirmed, let's go!"

The skull raised its hand to give the order, and Lin Xu followed suit and got out of the car.

The attack proceeded in the exact same manner: power was cut off, radio cover was established, and with Lin Xu's guidance, the team quickly entered the main control room at the rear of the factory.

This time, however, both Lin Xu and the skull seemed much more relaxed.

After closing the main control room door, the skull watched Lin Xu operate the machine with great interest, and then asked the exact same question.

"So you were actually the mole?"

"You can come here as if you're at home. We know all the passwords and can identify you by your biometrics."

"Tsk, you even have access to the main control panel."

"Honestly, if you really wanted to steal some classified data, why not just sneak in when no one's around and steal it?"

"Good question."

Lin Xu's fingers tapped incessantly on the keyboard as he replied:

"Maybe I'm just trying to balance things out?"

"You know, some things are always hard to explain if they are lost quietly, but if they are stolen in a big way, then no one can say anything about it."

"You capitalists all deserve to die."

The skull clicked its tongue.

"To be fair, you're a capitalist too."

"Your net worth is over 100 million. With so much money, why don't you retire and instead come to the front lines to fight for your life? That's bizarre."

"You don't understand, I'm just a mercenary who does it out of interest."

The skull-shaped figure casually shrugged, and Lin Xu chuckled:
"If your wife weren't a hobbyist alarm clock, you wouldn't be a hobbyist mercenary, would you?"

silence.

The only sound in the control room was the clicking of keyboards.

"She's not herself, she just lives a bit extravagantly and likes to have fun."

"She loves me, she's never done that—wait, how do you know?!"

"You investigated me? Who exactly are you?"

Lin Xu glanced at the skull with sympathy, and the other mercenary team members in the control room also subconsciously looked at the skull, but quickly looked away.

"You said it yourself."

Lin Xu didn't even look up.

In this world, he actually has no memory of the "investigation mercenary group" or the "mercenary mercenary group". His memory begins from the second of the one-hour countdown.

However, in many previous repetitions, he had indeed heard the skull mention his wife.

The sympathy in the eyes of the other team members said it all.

Poor turtle.

"I said it myself? When did I ever say these things to you?"

The skull raised its gun and aimed it at Lin Xu.

"Does it matter?"

Lin Xu glanced at his watch; there were still 45 minutes left.

He had found the flight control program code, but it wasn't what he was looking for.

What's displayed on the screen now is the flight control system for a series of mature products. Not to mention that it's too large for him to memorize in a short time, even if he could, it wouldn't be of much use to the current project.

What he was looking for was the code of the first outer space test rocket developed by Sky Dome Technology 20 years ago.

"Isn't that important? I would never speak ill of my wife in front of outsiders. Whatever she did wrong, it's our own business!"

"You have to tell me where you learned this! I need to know!"

"I go."

Lin Xuren was dumbfounded.

He had never encountered such a situation in his previous experiences.

Goodness, you really are a romantic?
"Say it!"

The skull was still urging them on, but just then, an explosion was heard outside the door.

"boom!"

"Block the people outside for 40 minutes, and then I'll tell you!"

40 minutes??

The skull stared in disbelief.

"What did you steal that took you 40 minutes?!" "In 40 minutes, they could have flooded the place and drowned us!"

"Well, that's just how the mission is—delay it as much as you can, and I'll get back to it as soon as possible!"

".good!"

The skull gritted its teeth and agreed.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Lin Xu's remarks about his wife, a mission is a mission, and that was his professional ethics.

The isolation door opened, and a firefight immediately ensued.

Lin Xu quickly searched for the target information in the system. After 20 years of development, the database had become incredibly large.

Fortunately, the company did an excellent job with archiving, and after a few minutes, he finally found the folder named in his most familiar way from the massive database.

"Test Ship-003 Main Project Shared Files".

This is it!

Lin Xu eagerly opened the file, found the flight control code, and quickly skimmed through it.

"No, you're going to just memorize all of this?!"

After emptying a magazine, the skull turned to look at Lin Xu, who raised his hand and said:

"Don't make any noise! ​​I'm thinking!"

He was indeed thinking; he was thinking about how to memorize the most crucial parts as quickly as possible.

"We can't hold on much longer!"

"Two minutes! I need to call for backup to cover our retreat!"

The skull's voice was somewhat hoarse, but Lin Xu remained unmoved.

He quickly scanned the relatively short amount of code and finally found those few lines of core data.

The solution was actually quite simple.

It's just that a few self-checking loops have been added to the PID algorithm.

Even if I don't copy it myself, I estimate that someone in the group will figure it out in another month or two.

Lin Xu glanced at the time and found that there were still 35 minutes left.

Since we're already here, let's look at something else!

He quickly opened the file dated 2030, which was named "Star Trek 1 Reusable Rocket Project General Contract".

This time, he didn't delve into the details, but instead skimmed through the overall project design.

Power system, engine, core compartment, flight control system, reentry system, fuel, communications.
The complex plan came into view, and Lin Xuzhen really took it in.

But at this moment.

"boom!"

A huge explosion sounded.

Lin Xu was thrown away by the shockwave, while the skull next to him crashed heavily to the ground.

Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and his life was rapidly slipping away.

"What exactly are you?"

"I'm just an ordinary person!"

Lin Xu struggled to answer the question.

No. I wanted to ask...

"Did you sleep with my wife or not?!"

Lin Xu was speechless.

He grabbed a rifle from the side and pressed it against his head.

next second.

"boom!"

Lin Xu opened his eyes again.

He shook his groggy head, struggled to crawl to the computer, and typed in what he had memorized.

When run again, the simulated program in the simulation system finally ran smoothly.

It's really solved!

Lin Xu breathed a long sigh of relief.

So, is this the correct way to use this bracelet?
He paused briefly, thought for a moment, and then suddenly picked up the mouse again and created a new folder on the computer.

EPC contractor for the StarTravel-1 reusable rocket project.

He then began filling in the project skeleton.

Although no details are available, if one could continue to enter the Sky Dome Technology headquarters 20 years in the future...
Who knows, I might be able to copy this thing out beforehand!
Wouldn't that mean taking off directly?

Lin Xu nodded in satisfaction and then dialed Jiang Xingye's number.

"Hey, team leader."

"Problem solved."

"Yes, it's not complicated, but it requires a lot of luck."

"I'll update it right away."

"What? Having a midnight snack?"

"Never mind, I really can't eat anymore."
