Chapter Forty-Seven: A Chance Encounter in a Restaurant
Yun Shu was not at home, Ji Rong found a restaurant nearby, ordered, took a sip of water, and looked out the window. The restaurant is close to home, simple and fast, and the taste is okay, and if Yun Shu is not at home, he usually passes the time here.
Outside the restaurant is a small garden, which is full of colorful and eye-catching flowers.
Ji Rong's thoughts drifted a little far, thinking that Yun Shu didn't know what he was doing at this time, whether he had eaten or not, and suddenly felt a little worried in his heart.
Within a few minutes, the steak set he ordered was served, and the set meal was accompanied by red wine. He glanced at it and said to the waiter, "Take the red wine off, I don't drink." ”
"Yes, sir." The waiter accepted the glass, and the customer behind him recklessly bumped the waiter's shoulder, and the glass was tilted, and the red wine spilled on the table, splashing the cuffs of Ji Rong's white shirt.
"I'm sorry, sir." The waiter apologized again and again, wiped the stains on the table, and said to Ji Rong, "Later, I'll go get a dry towel and wipe your sleeves." ”
"You go get a glass of white wine, a glass of soda, and some salt." Noticing the sudden situation here, Yuan Jing put down the coffee cup in his hand, walked over, and instructed the waiter.
The waiter went down.
"Hello Professor Ji, I'm Yuan Jing."
Ji Rong nodded: "I remember you, we met once." ”
Yuan Jing smiled: "Does Professor Ji often come to this restaurant?" ”
"This restaurant is closer to home, so there are more people." Asked Yuan Jing, "You also come here to eat?" ”
Yuan Jing nodded: "I just finished eating, and the taste is not bad." As he was talking, the waiter brought over what he wanted, and took a dry towel to wipe Ji Rong's cuffs.
Yuan Jing said: "I'll come, you go down." The waiter looked at him and handed him the towel in confusion.
Yuan Jing pinched a handful of salt with his fingers and said to Professor Ji, "Sprinkle some salt on the wine stain to prevent the stain from expanding." Seeing that Ji Rong had no expression of objection, he personally sprinkled the salt evenly on the stains on the cuffs. He dipped a towel in white wine, wiped the stains, and said, "White wine can neutralize red wine and make stains easier to remove." Then I dipped it in soda and wiped the cuffs again, "The soda can produce a carbonization effect and extract the color of the wine stains." Finally, take a towel and wipe it again, and there are no red stains on the cuffs except for the slight dampness.
Ji Rong finished reading what he had done, and said, "Thank you." Ask him, "Do you know chemistry?" ”
Yuan Jing made a gesture of inviting him to eat, and when he saw Ji Rong pick up the knife and fork, he asked with a smile: "Why does Professor Ji think so?" ”
"You didn't mention any chemical elements, but a series of actions have proven that you are proficient in this way."
Yuan Jing smiled: "Professor Ji has won the award, it can't be said that he is proficient, and when he was bored, he flipped through a few books on related aspects." ”
"And what are you doing now?" Ji Rong asked him.
"Programming."
"Self-taught, too?"
Yuan nodded: "For a humanoid machine that has been idle for more than ten years, if there is no lasting interest to pass the boring time, it is really like a year." ”
Ji Rong cut the steak and said lightly: "When a humanoid machine is born, even if it has more and more comprehensive knowledge reserves, it is not terrible. Because the world is changing with each passing day. The scary thing is that he is still learning at an astonishing rate after birth. He looked up at Yuan Jing, "Your learning speed and knowledge reserve are enough to amaze anyone." ”
Yunjing curled the corners of his lips self-deprecatingly: "Even you said that, I should be happy." It's a pity that I'm just a human-like machine, attached to my own master. No matter how much I know, I can't fill the hollowness in my heart, and the sense of alienity that is isolated from the world, like a shackle to my soul, makes me unable to feel true satisfaction and happiness. Walking in the world day after day, it is like an alternative creature that inhabits the earth. ”
Ji Rong put down the knife and fork and tried the corners of his lips: "You have such thoughts, partly due to social reasons, and partly related to your living environment." Assistant Yuan should be more caring for you. ”
Yun Jing smiled: "I know your assistant Yun Shu, she is completely different from me, as if she is destined to come to you, that kind of satisfied affection always makes me very envious." I think you must be nice to her. He paused and whispered, "Actually, Yuan Yuan is also very good, I just think too much, not as simple as Yun Shu, only simple things in this world can be called beautiful." ”
At the mention of Yun Shu, Ji Rong's expression softened, and he sighed: "She is too simple." ”
Noticing the change in his complexion, Yuan Jing smiled slightly and asked, "I remember that Professor Ji is currently working on the study of cryoresurrection, I don't know how it is going?" ”
"You know biomedicine, too?" Ji Rong looked up at him.
Yuan Jing shook his head: "It's just that I heard Yuan Yuan often mention it, she respects you very much, and she always talks about your deeds from time to time at home, I just listen to it and remember it, I haven't been exposed to biology." He paused and looked at Ji Rong, "There is a question that has always puzzled me, and I would like to ask Professor Ji." ”
Ji Rong made a gesture of please.
Yuan Jingdao: "I usually read some physics books, and I often think that the things around us, such as mobile phones and computers, are damaged or crashed, and we can always repair them and get them back to work." Why can't we repair our bodies after they die? ”
Ji Rong's gaze fell on his face: "In fact, the process of treating the sick is the so-called repair process you mentioned. In the same way, there is a limit to the functions of the human body, beyond which there is nothing that can be done. ”
Yuan Jing frowned: "If the human body also has a useful life like the machine, then isn't Professor Ji's current research imposing?" ”
Ji Rong was slightly stunned, his face was a little pale, and he smiled dejectedly: "You're right, you are indeed asking for it." ”
"But any kind of development in this world starts with force, forcing that it can't be done now, and forcing it to be better." Yuan Jing's perfect face was relieved, "I believe that Professor Ji's research will be successful." ”
"Thank you." Ji Rong said sincerely.
Yuan Jing stood up and said respectfully: "I've delayed your time today, and I have a chance to see you again." ”
Ji Rong nodded.
Yuan Jing walked a few steps towards the door, stopped his movements, suddenly turned around, and asked Ji Rong: "Professor Ji, Yun Shu is the only friend I know, can I visit her often?" ”
"Absolutely." Ji Rong replied.
Yuan Jing smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "Goodbye." "I went out.
