"How could it be ......" Lin Ling's eyes flickered with mist, looking at the picture on the screen, she muttered, "No, this must be a lie, right." Jiang Chen, you tell me that this is Dad, he's lying to me, right......"

Jiang Chen wordlessly stretched out his hand and took her into his arms.

Although the cold armor didn't bring her any warmth, he hoped that her heart would feel a little better.

Jiang Chen set his eyes on Lin Chaoen, who was still smiling, and the old father who reappeared in the picture - Lin Minjie.

"005 Shelter is a chess piece, and Lin Ling's stay is not an accident, but an inevitability. ”

"Don't you think it's strange why there is a backup of Project Eden in the Vault where advanced AI is developed? And so many people know that it's in Vault 005. ”

"Hehe, this is not for the hope of any human being, but just to lure some naïve survivors to run in silly and fill in the materials needed for the experiment. ”

"If nothing else, the organization of the Church of Twilight should send someone into the shelter of the Tao and provide fresh material for our experiments. Unfortunately, our plan fell awry from the start. First the bugs of the so-called 'Harmony Camp' burrowed into the Vault, and then you again. If I'm not mistaken, you probably destroyed the number X71291. What a paranoid guy, that's the crystallization of tens of thousands of human lives. Lin Minjie shook his head and scolded with a smile.

Quietly listening to Dr. Lin Minjie's self-report, Jiang Chen looked at him with a complicated expression.

While rescuing Lin Ling from Vault 005. When she knew that her father had left him on this planet, Jiang Chen had said this to her, "Perhaps, from another point of view. It may be that it left hope for this land. ”

However, it now seems that what he said may be wrong.

Since before the war, all this is just a pawn on his way to the supreme.

If it weren't for him, the man who forcibly knocked over the chessboard, maybe he would have succeeded.

Lin Ling's sobbing voice interrupted Jiang Chen's thoughts. I saw her looking at her father with tearful, but determined.

"But...... I will still use my knowledge. Bringing hope to people. ”

Lin Minjie looked at his daughter and was silent for a long time, then smiled, "Yes, I'm glad you can have your own dream." My lovely daughter...... I also wish you all the best if you can achieve your dreams. ”

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen is right, I already understand your position on human identity. I accept your victory. But I won't congratulate you. ”

"I didn't expect to be congratulated by the enemy. Jiang Chen said softly.

"Also. I hope you don't have any prejudices against my daughter because she is cyborg. ”

"Don't worry. ”

It is not cyborgs or artificial intelligence that should be buried, but dangerous ******** and ideas. What's more, Lin Ling is fundamentally different from a pure cyborg, and her brain is still a brain......

Jiang Chen lowered his eyebrows slightly, and then raised the rifle in his hand.

Lin Ling gently grabbed him.

"Are you trying to stop me?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"Can't you let him go?"

Jiang Chen responded to her with a resolute look.

Only this one, he couldn't soften his heart.

"That'...... I'll do it anyway. I don't want to...... I don't want you to be my father-killer. Lin Ling smiled miserably and said.

Facing his father's brain. Bean-sized tears fell suddenly. She was never a strong person.

At the end of the end, facing his daughter in tears, Lin Minjie seemed to understand something. The so-called feelings, the algorithms he meditated on and hoped to achieve through advanced artificial intelligence, have always been within reach.

But he couldn't see.

For on the way to the highest, he has given up too much.

Looking at his daughter, who was crying and kneeling on the ground halfway through, he suddenly felt that such an ending was not bad.

"In this server, there is a folder numbered 7381, which contains an electronic file of a 103-page paper on warp engines. Lin Minjie looked directly into Jiang Chen's eyes, "If you will fight with them one day, you must be able to use it." As a dowry prepared by a father for his daughter, I hope you can treat her well because of this generous gift. ”

"Thank you. ”

Although even if he didn't have this generous gift, he would treat her well.

"Don't thank me, even if you had a chance to build a warp engine, your odds would only go from 0% to 1%. Lin Minjie pursed his lips.

The communication voice sounded directly in Jiang Chen's communication channel, and this last monologue was not heard by Lin Ling.

The Adam's apple moved slightly, Jiang Chen took a deep breath to stabilize his breathing, trying to hide the weak side of his heart.

"Why didn't you tell her. ”

"At the end of the day, I wanted to try what it's like to be a father. He left a meaningful sentence.

For a moment, Jiang Chen had the urge to stop here. He was never a cold-blooded man, much less a man who would be indifferent to cruelty. Now that Lin Minjie has lost power, there is no need to make a dead move. After all, he is Lin Ling's father, even if it is for ...... For Lin Ling's sake, let him just keep his brain alive......

As if he had guessed Jiang Chen's thoughts, Lin Minjie smiled and continued in the communication channel: "It's not good to live just as a brain. The reason why I have endured it until now is only to wait for the day when I can abandon this brain. Will you allow that day to come?"

Jiang Chen was silent.

"I didn't show her the view, I hope you can show her for me. ”

Jiang Chen bowed slightly. "I promise. ”

Lin Minjie on the screen grinned at Jiang Chen, and a touch of sadness suddenly appeared in his pupils, but it was quickly replaced by perseverance.

Suddenly, he looked at Lin Chaoen, who had been standing aside and smiling and watching all this, and spoke.

"My son, I give you one last command. No, the last two ......"

Facing his father, Lin Chaoen bowed slightly.

"First, turn off my brain's life-support device. ”

Lin Chaoen buried his head very low.

Lin Ling raised her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain in horror, and looked at her father with wavering eyes. Her lips quivered, her voice hoarse from crying, and she choked "don't" weakly.

Finally, he glanced at his daughter nostalgically, and Lin Minjie slowly closed his eyes.

"Second, to end your own life. ”

"Yes, Father. ”

Without any hesitation, Lin Chaoen walked to the side of the main control computer.

"Don't-!" Lin Ling screamed.

The cry echoed in the empty shelter, Jiang Chen tried not to look at Lin Ling,

Jiang Chen noticed that before pressing that button, Lin Chaoen's hand hovered over the switch for two seconds.

But in the end, he pressed it anyway.

The bubbles in the tank gradually stopped, and the emerald green culture liquid calmed down.

If the blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain are completely interrupted, within 60s, brain cells will begin to stop working, and in about 4 minutes, brain cells will begin to die, and in 6-10 minutes, irreversible brain damage will be caused, that is, a large number of brain cells will die.

Looking at the tank, tears continued to drip down the mask of her hazmat suit.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and silently counted the seconds in his heart.

Lin Chaoen turned around and looked at Jiang Chen thoughtfully.

"Strangely, for a moment, I had the idea of resisting orders. ”

Jiang Chen said softly, "Congratulations." ”

"No, you don't need to congratulate me on anything, after all, I didn't receive an order to evolve to advanced artificial intelligence. Lin Chaoen's face suddenly showed a smile, "Goodbye then." (To be continued.) )
