Chapter 42old thingsevenseconds of (Last Part)
第42章老东西的七秒钟(下)Anycomputercanhalt, the userwill generally makecup of coffeeor the teawhilethese days, lifts the legto take a break, is waiting forrestarting, waits forclear/painsystemthatfaintwelcomelanguageto resound. No onewill regard how extremely heartshaking and movingmatterthis.
任何电脑都会死机,使用者大抵会趁着这段时间去泡杯咖啡或茶,跷着腿休息片刻,等着重启,等着楚斯系统那个淡漠的欢迎语响起。没有人会把这当成多么惊天地泣鬼神的事情。But the central computer of Charter Bureaubottomdeep placecannothalt, innumerablefor many yearsithad not restarted, thereforeworked asthat day in early fall, the undergroundthatultra-largetwo-dimensionallight screensturned intoblacksuddenly, when allminute/share of endhandle workstagesallfell into the deathly stillness, entireCharter Bureauwas silly.
但宪章局地底深处的中央电脑不会死机,无数多年来它也未曾重启过,所以当初秋里的那一天,地下那片超大的二维光幕忽然变成了一片黑色,所有的分端处理工作台全部陷入了死寂时,整个宪章局都傻了。
The sillythischaracteractuallyandis not enoughto describe that thensceneandmood, from the chiefto the dataanalyst of mostbasic unit, everyoneis looking atthisdarknessdumbfoundedly, is listening respectfully tothispeace, theirfeelingslook likeshineforever the Capital Star Circlestar, suddenlyextinguishes, the trillionstars in universe, vanishwithout the tracesuddenly.
傻这个字其实并不足以形容当时的场面和情绪,从局长到最基层的数据分析师,所有人目瞪口呆地望着这片黑暗,聆听着这片安静,他们的感觉就像是永远照耀首都星圈的恒星,忽然间熄灭,宇宙里的亿万星辰,忽然间消失无踪。
The federalcentral computerstopsworking!
联邦中央电脑停止工作!Regarding the federation and human society, actuallythismeansanything, no oneis clearer than the Charter Bureaustaff members. Theyknow, oncelostthiscentral computer, the empirepeoplecanmount a large-scale attackeasily, evendoes not need the attack of empireinvader, federalliberalstarterritoryterritory, thenbecauselost the most powerfulcollectionheartstrength, butbeing split up that changes, the entirehuman societywill disintegrate!
对于联邦和人类社会来说,这究竟意味着什么,没有谁比宪章局的职员们更清楚。他们知道一旦失去了这台中央电脑,帝国人可以轻而易举地大举进攻,甚至根本不需要帝国侵略者的进攻,联邦阔大的星域疆土,便会因为失去了最强有力的集心力量,而变的四分五裂,整个人类社会都将会分崩离析!Lost the brilliance of charter, actuallyhumanto turn intowhat? No onedaresto conceivethisterrifyingissue, insuddendarkandpeacefulfront, the Charter Bureaugroundundergroundover1000staff membersare completely silent, someboth handstogether, somefemalestaff membersevenpanic-strickenandshedno usetears.
失去了宪章的光辉,人类究竟会变成什么样?没有人敢设想这个恐怖的问题,在突如其来的黑暗与安静面前,宪章局地上地下超过一千名职员鸦雀无声,有的双手合什,有的女性职员甚至惊恐而无助地流下了的眼泪。Thisshockingaccident, makingeveryone'sheartsoon unable to withstand, theydo not know that the federalcentral computer...... thiswas calledexistence of old thingbythemkindly, reallytothis day of dying in bed of old age, said that itnaps, will immediately wake.
这种极具震撼力的事故,让所有人的心脏都快要承受不住,他们不知道联邦中央电脑……这个被他们亲切称为老东西的存在,是不是真的到了寿终正寝的这一天,还是说它只是打了个盹,马上就会醒过来。Thisis notsuch as the mourningparents, thislosing the family memberis sad, thisis not the spring thundershakes, thisintensifiesin a big waycompared with the might of thunder and lightning.
这不是如丧父母,这比失去家人更加悲伤,这不是春雷震荡,这比雷电的威力更加剧大。
......
……Is goodfalls into the condition that the stopplays dead is not longbecause ofplacebottomdeep placethatcentral computer, after7.13221seconds, place of jet blackoneextra widetwo-dimensionallight screencenters, presented an extremelytinyhighlight.
好在地底深处那台中央电脑陷入停顿假死的状态并没有太久,在7.13221秒之后,漆黑一片的宽幅二维光幕最中心的地方,出现了一个极细小的亮点。Thenthishighlightexplodessuddenly, emitsnot to haveseveral tens of thousandsblazingwhite lines, butinstantaneously, thenilluminated the undergroundliberalspace, someas ifinnumerablenebulasfills the productionto condensevanishes, butthistime is really short, is unable to distinguishwith the naked eye, even if unable to discoverwith the videocontrol system of highest speed.
然后这个亮点猛然爆炸,放射出无数万道炽烈的白线,只不过瞬间,便照亮了地下阔大的空间,似乎有无数星云在其中弥漫生成凝聚幻灭,但这个时间段实在是太短,用肉眼无法分辩,就算是用最高速的视频控制系统也无法发现。
After the light , is tranquilordinary, the picturefromfederaleachcorner, reappearsinnumerablyabove the light screen, the innumerableinformationtobe complex difficultto speak the mechanicallanguagelanguage that flashes throughfastin order, but the speeds of thesesentenceline of twinklesappeared seemed to be faster than in the past.
光明之后便是宁静平常,无数来自联邦各个角落的画面,重新出现在光幕之上,无数信息以复杂难懂的机械语语,快速地依序闪过,只是那些语句行闪烁的速度似乎比往常显得更快了一些。
A mechanicalmetalfeelingfullsoundsoundgetting up„promoted.”
一个机械金属感十足的声音响了起来“升级完毕。”In addition, allusual, looks likeanythingnot to happen, looks likethesesevensecondsnot to appear.
除此之外,一切如常,就像是什么也没有发生过,就像是这七秒钟不曾出现过。

When the federalcentral computergoes black, Charter Bureaupeoplethink that the whole worldcollapsed, afteritrepliesis normal, theysuddenlyfeelthishappyworldrebirth. In the mythbefore the ancient timescatastrophe, as ifhadsomecreatorto createthisgrotesque and gaudyworldto spendsevendays, butgod in Charter Bureaupeopleheart, making the world in theirheartestablish, as ifonlyspent for sevenseconds.
联邦中央电脑陷入黑暗中时,宪章局的人们认为整个世界都崩坏了,当它回复正常后,他们忽然间觉得这个美好的世界重生了。在远古的浩劫前神话中,似乎有某位造物主创造这个光怪陆离的世界花了七天的时间,而宪章局人们心中的神祇,让他们心中的世界重新建立起来,似乎只花了七秒钟的时间。Sevensecondsare too short, the shockterrifieddespair on manystaff membersfacejuststartedto ripple, the tears in manyoffice ladyeyesjustdripped a cmdistance, thisprocessthenended, makingtheirmoodfall into someindescribablevoidconditionimmediately.
七秒钟太短,以至于很多职员们脸上的震惊惶恐绝望情绪才刚刚开始荡漾,很多女职员眼中的泪水才刚刚淌出一cm的距离,这个过程便结束了,让他们的情绪顿时陷入某种难以言喻的空虚状态之中。
The Charter Bureauundergroundcentral computer, trulymeets the promotionin the charterrule, butnowadays the federationlivingpeople, have not witnessedthiswith own eyes, moreoveraccording toremaining the handbookrecord, the upgrade of federalcentral computerrequires the extremelylongtime, conducts the alternation of hardwareandrelatednecessarysoftwaregently, no onehas conceived, thisold thingwill so napsuddenly, was scaredcountlesspeople, thenopens eyes, thenannounced that indifferentlypromotessuccessfully.宪章局地下的中央电脑,在宪章规则中确实会自我升级,但是现如今联邦活着的人们,从来没有亲眼见证过这一幕,而且按照留下来的手册记载,联邦中央电脑的升级需要极长的时间,平缓地进行硬件及相关配套软件的自我更迭,谁也不曾设想过,这个老东西会如此突然地打了个盹,吓傻了无数的人,然后重新睁开眼,便冷漠地宣告升级成功。Whatpromotion is this? No oneknows.
这是什么样的升级?没有人知道。

联邦中央电脑的这次意外死机或者说是自主升级,被人工列入了第二序列事件,严格保密,除了宪章局内部核心职员之外,暂时只有帕布尔总统和拜伦副总统知晓,就连议会山那边都完全不了解,宪章局曾经度过了怎样惊心动魄的七秒钟。Spent very longtime, Charter Bureauto get ridfromthisshockcomplexmood, buteveryone'sheartkeepssomequestion, somedoes not know that the colorshadowis keepingflutteringfluttersflutters......
花了很长的时间,宪章局才从这种震惊复杂的情绪中摆脱出来,只是所有人的心底都留着某个疑问,某个不知道颜色的阴影在不停地飘啊飘啊飘……
The seniorchiefandCui Judongvisiontouchesslightly, thennaturallyseparates, does not seem to wanttothatsevensecondsto analyze the furtherrecollection.
老局长与崔聚冬的目光微微一触,便自然分开,似乎不想对那七秒钟做进一步的回忆与分析。Asis longestin the Charter Bureauoperating time, is the jurisdictionis highest, about the central computerknew that mosttwosenior officials, in the aridmonotonouswork of thislife, have actually hadsomeaccuratecognition- culture that undergroundcentral computerrepresents, actuallyhas been higher than the averageculture of federalsociety, the greatfivepeople of groupsfor the wisdomcrystallization that the human societykeeps, sayfromcanindependentpromotionthis pointonly, is the matter that nowadaysscientific systemis unable to achieve.
做为在宪章局工作时间最长,也是权限最高,对中央电脑了解最多的两位高级官员,其实在这一生的枯燥单调工作中,早已产生了某种确切的认知-地下中央电脑所代表的文明水平,其实一直都比联邦社会的平均文明水平要高,伟大的五人小组为人类社会留下来的智慧结晶,单从能够自主升级这一点上讲,就是现如今的科学体系无法做到的事情。
The catastrophebeforehandhuman civilizationhas developedsomeimpressivedegree, althoughdoes not have for several tens of thousandsyears, humanhas unceasingly been progressing, pursuesunceasingly, has even surpassed the predecessorincertainaspectsprobably, butstillcannotreply the pasthonorincertaincoreeventually.
浩劫之前的人类文明已经发展到了某个令人惊叹的程度,虽然无数万年来,人类一直在不断进步,不断追赶,在某些方面甚至大概已经超过了前人,但终究在某些核心方面依然没有能够回复往日的荣光。ChiefTaiputs out a hand the light screenonallfilesaboutXu Le, included the top-secretrank, sittingsaton the chairsilentfor a long time was very very long, thinks the personplanning committee that Charter Bureausubordinate, thought ofthesefactories, in the hearthassometypegenerously, in the pastso manyyears, actuallyCharter Bureau was still only the service personnel of thatold thing, theyknow the matter that canknow, is actually not ableto understandforeverthesedid not have the matter of abilityunderstanding.
邰老局长伸手将光幕上关于许乐的一切档案,列入了绝密级别,坐在椅上沉默地坐了很久很久,想到宪章局下属的人计委,想到那些工厂,心中不禁生出某种慨然,过去了这么多年,其实宪章局依然只是那位老东西的服务人员罢了,他们知道能够知道的事情,却永远无法了解那些没有能力了解的事情。Withonevast, ifhugemechanicalcivilizedcrystallizationaccompanying of starsis life-long, looks atitsextraordinaryabilitywith own eyes, in a Charter Bureausuchstrangeorganization, manystaff memberswill actually come undercertaininfluencessubtly, theyare not the believers of scientificsect, butininnermost feelingsmostdeep layersomewhere, violates the spirit of science that theyshouldhave, incomparablesuperstition.
与一台浩翰若星辰的庞大机械文明结晶相伴终生,亲眼看着它的超绝能力,在宪章局这样一个怪异的机构中,很多职员其实都会潜移默化的受到某些影响,他们不是科学教派的教徒,但在内心最深层的某处,违背他们所应持有的科学精神,无比迷信。Theirinfatuatedtrustsalsoworshipthatcentral computer, regards as the federalspiritthatice-coldmachine the department, before regarding asto be great, generation of civilizedfinalremaining, theyasnursingthisremainingservice personnel, feels the infinitehonor and pride.
他们痴迷的相信并且崇拜那台中央电脑,将那个冰冷的机器看作联邦精神之所系,看作伟大前代文明的最后遗存,他们作为看护这种遗存的服务人员,也为之感到无限荣光与骄傲。Thissuperstitionoriginatesfromhumanto the intelligentlevelworship that oneselfcanachieve, originates from not duringseveral tens of thousandsyearscharterbrilliance the eye-catchingdeeds, originatesfrom the criterion that the machinery can never make a mistake. The Charter Bureaustaff membersblindly believe init, worshipsit, treats as the family memberto believeitgenerally, thereforetheycalledit: Old thing.
这种迷信来源于人类对自身所能达到的智慧水平的崇拜,来源于无数万年间宪章光辉的夺目事迹,来源于机械永远不会失误的准则。宪章局的职员们迷信它,崇拜它,把它当作家人一般相信,所以他们叫它:老东西。
The seniorchiefis no exception, helooks the mechanicalsentence that onsilently the light screentheseflash throughfast, suddenlyintracing the Xu Lestatuslostallinterests, since the old thingis never willingto determine the status of thisfellow, alwayshashe himselfpreciseirreversiblelogicreason.
老局长也不例外,他默然地看着光幕上那些快速闪过的机械语句,忽然间对于追查许乐身份失去了所有兴趣,既然老东西始终不肯判定这个家伙的身份,总是有他自己精密不可逆转的逻辑原因。Charter Bureauhas an unwrittenunspoken rule, thisruleas if not conform to the charter the spirit, actuallygoes down to the heart of thisindependent bodyeachstaff memberinthisinnumerableyears, keepingthemfromresistingdoes not wantto resist.宪章局内部有一条不成文的潜规则,这条规则似乎并不符合宪章的精神,却在这无数年来深入此独立机构每个职员的内心深处,让他们无法抗拒更不想抗拒。Thisrule is: First, the old thingwill never make mistakes. Second, if the old thingmakes mistakes, pleaserefer tofirst.
这条规则便是:一,老东西永远不会犯错。二,如果老东西犯错,请参看第一条。„Fromenteringbureaufirstday, Iwas pondering that an issue......”seniorchiefgave up the ponder, takes up the golfafter the chair, the feelingsaid: „Ido not know that actually the old thingdoes have the life.”
“从进入局里的第一天,我就在思考一个问题……”老局长放弃了思考,从椅后重新拿起高尔夫球杆,感慨说道:“我不知道老东西究竟有没有生命。”Cui Judonghearsthese words, a feelingbackcoldness, evensomecoldpains. In factthisprobablyiseachin the Charter Bureauworkverylongstaff, doubts that canhave, becausebottomdeep placethatcentral computer is really seemsextremelymultipurpose, althoughhas had no mood of user-friendlyto show.崔聚冬听到这句话,感觉后背一阵寒冷,甚至冷的有些痛楚。实际上这大概是每个在宪章局工作很久的员工,都会产生的疑惑吧,因为地底深处那台中央电脑实在是显得太过万能,虽然一直没有什么人性化的情绪展现。„When the seventhresearch institute, mydoctoral thesisstudiesthis.”Silenta moment later, the Cui Judongsilentopens the mouthsaid: „According to the core logicprocedure/program of old thing, with the charterprinciple that fivepeople of groupsdesign, ifitreallyhassomeideological mode that is similarto the carbonbaselife, itdirectlyfromexploding.”
“在第七研究所的时候,我的博士论文就是研究这个。”沉默了片刻之后,崔聚冬沉默开口说道:“依照老东西的核心逻辑程序,和五人小组设计的宪章法则,如果它真的产生某种类似于碳基生命的思维模式,它会直接自爆。”As ifthought that thiswas still not enoughto stabilize the heart that knocked, Cui Judonghas been addingoneextremelyquickly: „Moreoverlookedfrom the philosophyangle,thisis the matter that could not convince.”
似乎觉得这样依然不足以安定自己一直在动摇的心,崔聚冬极快地加了一句:“而且从哲学角度看,这是说不通的事情。”„Said is also.” The seniorchiefcoughedgentlytwo, is openingthatpair of somewhatsoullesseyes, raises the golfto walktoward the office, said: „Moreoverwhatrelations...... thisand do we have? Itis goingto survive for several millionevenover a hundred millionyears, weactuallymustdieeventually.”
“说的也是。”老局长轻轻咳嗽了两声,睁着那双有些无神的双眼,提着高尔夫球杆向办公室外面走去,说道:“而且……这和我们又有什么关系?它将要生存数百万甚至上亿年,我们却终究是要死的。”„Ineversuspected, even if the entirefederationdestroyed, the old thing still has existed, untilthisuniverseend.”
“我从来不怀疑,就算整个联邦都毁灭了,老东西依然将一直存在下去,直至这个宇宙的尽头。”„Such being the case, wherewehave the qualificationsto discussitsmatter.”
“既然如此,我们哪里有资格去议论它的事情。”
......
……Also the Charter Bureaustaff member of life-longservicefederationcentral computer, candiscussthismatterprobablywith ease, because oftheirlifeand even the breath, withundergroundthatice-coldoperationmachinelinks, theyhave the innateintimacy. But ifthetalk in Charter Bureauofficespreads, does not know that will bring in the bigdisturbance.
大概也只有终生服务联邦中央电脑的宪章局职员,才能如此轻松地谈论这种事情,因为他们的生活乃至呼吸,都与地下那台冰冷的运算机器联系在一起,他们有先天的亲密感。但如果宪章局办公室里的这段谈话流传出去,不知道会引来多大的风波。In factChiefTaiandassistantsCui Judonggenerally speaking, theydo not have the abilityto investigate thoroughlythatsevenseconds of issue, does not knowhalting of suddenlyfederalcentral computer, becauseit, wheninvestigates the Xu Lerealstatus, bumped intooneto makeitfeel that the difficultlogicalissue, contactedto let the feeling that itsmechanicalprocedure/programsomedid not adapt tosimultaneouslyfine single.
事实上邰局长和崔聚冬助理也只是泛泛而谈,他们没有能力去查清楚那七秒钟的问题,更加不知道联邦中央电脑的忽然死机,只是因为它在调查许乐真实身份的时候,碰到了一个令它都感觉到困难的逻辑问题,同时接触到了一丝一缕让它机械程序有些不适应的感觉。Sevensecondshalt, the federalcentral computerrestarts, after no onehas noticedrestarting , when innumerablegoodprocedure statementconclusioninstantly, the lastterminal...... has a symbolic label that represents the smiling face.
七秒钟死机,联邦中央电脑重启,谁也没有注意到重启后无数行程序语句结束时的刹那,最后一句的末端……有一个代表笑脸的符号标记。
