Chapter 17: The Unknown Existence
"I'm quite satisfied, I'm still single, and I don't plan to get married for the time being, so I'm free to see you and Aunt Zhao. ”
"Didn't I send you to protect the two beauties? I haven't taken it yet, how long has it been? Hurry up, such an excellent girl, there are not many in the society, your Aunt Zhao is in a hurry, she whispers in my ear every day, and I will come back to see it when I have time, my old thing, it is estimated that it will not be a few years. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, your body is very strong, I feel like I have outlived me. ”
The conversation between the two is like two ordinary fathers and sons, who have not been in touch for a long time, pulling on the family routine, asking some problems that the older generation is anxious about, but the young people have never wanted to solve.
Soon, Ye Tian put forward the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Old chief, do you remember my retirement? How did the troops agree so quickly at that time? I am a little confused now, can you help me look at the archives at that time?"
"Hmm, didn't you insist on retiring at that time? I immediately agreed......" Speaking of this, the other end of the phone was suddenly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "I'll help you take a look now." ”
Immediately there was a tapping on the keyboard, a snapping sound, very slow, obviously typing letter by letter, and at the same time there was the old chief's complaint:
"Although this modern technology is convenient, I am still not used to it, for us old things, it is not friendly at all, the times are progressing too fast, we don't have the energy to keep up, and we will all be eliminated in the end, and in the end it depends on you young people. ”
"You are wrong, the development and future of the country, or need the elders to guide the direction, like you, for the country, very important, we just enjoy the prosperity and development of the country after the convenience, without the selfless dedication and dedication of the ancestors, how can there be a strong motherland now. Ye Tian retorted in disagreement.
He really admires these old-timers, who have devoted their lives to the dedication and development of the country, and have been diligent and conscientious in doing practical things all their lives, honest and honest, hard-working, selfless dedication, and not taking a stitch from the country.
The country can become so strong today and occupy a place in the international community because of the blood and sweat of these older generations.
"Hahahaha...... Or you kid is talking and listening. ”
There was a hearty laugh on the phone, and then only one sentence was heard, "Well, I found it!"
Ye Tian didn't speak anymore, and waited quietly, he knew that the old chief was watching carefully.
After a few minutes, the voice on the phone came again, but he seemed a little puzzled, "There are indeed some problems, your retirement application approval speed is too fast, a bit unreasonable, the common approval takes at least a week, and the special status of a special military like you needs as long as several months or even half a year, and you have passed the approval in just 5 days, so why did I agree at that time? I'll help you call and ask these people who signed for approval!"
The old chief's voice also revealed a doubt, and he was also a little surprised, how could he quickly agree to Ye Tian's approval at that time, and he didn't make any reservations, this shouldn't be! Could it be that something else happened at that time, maybe he forgot.
Ye Tian's expression at this time was extremely solemn, and the old chief's unintentional muttering words made his heart sink in.
Normal people don't have the ability to forget, and they can deliberately and clearly read the memories of more than two years ago in their minds, so when they feel doubtful and their memories are not very clear, they will only justify themselves and convince themselves through some kind of forced logic.
The existence of human beings is often based on their ability to understand the world, and the correlation between things in the world, and cognitive ability is a very important difference between humans and other animals, including artificial intelligence, but also because of the gap between cognition and people, as if people can easily distinguish cats, dogs, and cows, but artificial intelligence is very difficult.
It also illustrates a very clear problem, verifying his ominous feeling, his retirement from the army seems to be natural, it feels natural, and in the old chief's cognition, it should be so, not blocked.
The old chief's phone call was very fast, after all, the status was here, and he quickly contacted everyone.
"Ye Tian, everyone gave me an almost identical answer, that is, the reason for your application is very legitimate, and it was approved, and I also asked a few words in detail, they don't remember it very clearly, but I only remember that basically this document arrived in their hands, and they signed it on the same day, which is why the speed of review is so fast. The old chief's voice also revealed a suspicion, and he couldn't help but continue: "This matter is indeed strange, do you need me to help you check it again?"
When a person with a special identity, especially Ye Tian, the old chief knows his special identity, when he entered the army, his political trial part was very complicated, the old chief personally broke his leg at that time, and the result of his last efforts is also obvious, Ye Tian has made I don't know how much credit to the country, and his face can never appear in the media, let alone any flowers and applause, and even no merits can be written on the tombstone after death, this is a soldier.
But it is such a person, the country did not make any reservations when he chose to retire, which is strange in this matter.
"No need for the old chief, I'm just curious to ask, and suddenly I miss the troops a little. Ye Tian said immediately.
"Hahaha...... Then you have to come back and see when you have time, this will always be your home, if you have any difficulties, just call me. ”
After chatting for a few more words, I hung up the phone.
Ye Tian stood in place and fell into deep thought, in fact, he had just heard the words of the old chief, and he already had a premonition in his heart, and it was really similar to what he thought.
And he also knew that the old chief would investigate, after all, this also made him a little suspicious, but Ye Tian knew that the old chief would not find any problems.
Because, all of them have almost the same caliber and memory, and they all don't remember very clearly, and there are no problems.
More than two years have passed, and if it weren't for Ye Tian himself, Ye Tian and the old chief would not have any suspicions, anything wrong.
In other words, whether it is Ye Tian or the old chief, as well as Ye Tian, on that file, the person who signed it, and the cognition and memory of all the people, there is absolute consistency in this matter, that is, let Ye Tian retire.
Whatever the reason, at least that's what they remember.
In other words, the memories of everyone about this event were changed by an invisible hand.
It feels a bit incredible, but this is the only reasonable result that Ye Tian deduced through all the events and all the details.
So what kind of existence is this invisible hand, and why can it affect their memory?
Affect their cognition?
This is beyond the norm!
