Chapter 419: Rejection of Honor [Three Watches]

With Angela's help, Eve's voice output is no problem, and An Feng specially found a professional recording studio in Los Angeles for Angela to work. The telephone service has been postponed for the time being, and Anfeng has not needed much Yuntong service recently, so it is easy to coordinate.

This is followed by a list of common words and sentences, including different environments and different emotions, and there is quite a lot of content, which requires Angela to read aloud with emotion, which is not difficult for professionals. Once the data is recorded, the intelligence can combine itself to form a unique synthesized sound.

At the same time, An Feng began to start Eve, intelligence has no gender, but An Feng, as a computer soul engineer, is actually many times stronger than the technical group under him, but he is lazy and afraid of trouble...... Debugged a little.,The character has tended to be feminine.,The next thing is to officially wake it up.。

Originally, Eve had no sound output, and An Feng's method of communicating with it was very primitive - keyboard. Use the keyboard to talk to it, and there are a large number of dictionaries and example sentences in its storage area, which can allow it to talk to An Feng in a more normal way. Although there will be some mistakes, they will be corrected continuously.

Although it is chatting with a robot, it is actually smarter than a clumsy robot, and when the same question is asked twice, it will be confused, it may remind it of what has already been discussed, it may give a concise explanation, and it may behave in other ways...... That's intelligence.

Before it was fully grown, Anfeng did not give it access to the network.

As for the fantasy of artificial intelligence turning the sky upside down, there is no possibility, its existence is based on basic rules - An Feng modified it into the three laws of robots, it cannot be violated, just like the truth that human beings will not stab themselves in the heart for no reason, it will not self-destruct.

It will take some time for Eve to grow, and she is digesting new knowledge and forming an epistemic outlook.

Anfeng left it alone space. He also needs to care about his children and wife, especially Alice has been doing very well recently, in December, she can clearly say "papa" and "mama" in her mouth, and she can speak clearly at ten months.

Then they made a funny one: An Feng took Alice's favorite plush toy and teased her in front of her. Joanna held her shoulders and helped her stand on the grass, and the child wanted to reach for it when she saw something fun, and her mother supported her, and she was able to walk on both feet.

But the bad dad kept backing down, just a little bit...... She hurried away, and Joanna quietly let go of her hand, and she lost her balance, but stumbled forward four or five steps. Grabbing the plush toy in An Feng's hand, An Feng hugged her and lifted her up: "Hey, you can walk!" ”

When a child walks with a sense of balance, it is much easier to walk later.

They tried a few more times, and Alice was able to walk a few steps with her balance before falling. An Feng grimaced at her, successfully diverting his attention. I didn't feel that it hurt to fall, and I didn't cry. After going back and forth, the problem of walking seems to be no more troublesome.

"Clever, Alice!" An Feng picked her up and kissed her on the forehead.

“Papa!” Alice said with a smile, her little hand scratching his nose.

"Hahaha, you little clever!" An Feng was high, and she turned around several times. Joanna said on the sidelines, "Be careful, she's faint!" ”

"It's fine." An Feng stopped, held her with one hand, and pointed at Joanna: "Who is this?" ”

“Mama!” Alice shook her hands.

"Yummy!" Joanna came over to kiss her, and then kissed An Feng. "And Daddy's."

An Feng said happily: "Our children are so smart, they will definitely spend money like me in the future." ”

"What kind of logic is this?" Joanna couldn't stop laughing.

"It's also a kind of wisdom to spend money." An Feng always has a lot of truths, "But, it's better to be a little more like Ma Ma, right?" ”

Alice would laugh, and her little hand beckoned to Joanna, repeating the numb sound in her mouth.

While the child was having fun, Brandon drove over in a battery car, followed by two tigers...... Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei chased the battery car, Xiao Hei was small, so he wanted to jump in the back seat, Brandon didn't pay attention to it, and drove the car by himself, combining seriousness with a cute scene.

The car drove towards them, stopped beside them, and Brandon got out of the car before he straightened up and said in his serious Oxford accent, "Mr. Ann." ”

"Come and let mom hug me." Joanna opened her hand, and the little girl happily went into her mother's arms, "It's so cute, the little face is fat!" ”

An Feng stepped forward: "What's the matter?" ”

Brandon said: "Just now Mr. Simmonds, an assistant to the British Prime Minister, called and asked you to pay attention to the email, which contains the list of the Queen's decorations for the New Year. ”

"Anything else?" An Feng asked.

"He didn't go into more detail." Brandon paused, "Sir, ma'am, do you need to go back?" ”

"I'm in trouble." An Feng said that he and Joanna got into the back seat of the battery car together, Brandon drove the slow battery car, and the two tigers continued to run behind.

Coming to the living room, An Feng took out the tablet under the coffee table and opened his private mailbox, which contained a marked letter, which was sent by Simmonds. He clicked on the content of the email, downloaded the attachment and opened it, and Joanna sat down beside him, looking at the information inside.

"Oh! Check it out! At first glance, An Feng saw the information at the top, highlighted in red font, "Congratulations!" My dear! ”

The column marked in red with the information about the Queen's New Year's conferment was in the middle of January, and Joanna was at the front of the list, and the Queen herself granted it.

She was drafted with a title, abbreviated: Joanna. Sersi. Ann, Baroness Ann of Cops Hill.

It's brief, formal and long.

"Is this true?" Joanna was surprised.

"Simmonds won't be kidding." An Feng nodded very definitely, "Congratulations, after the New Year, you will be awarded the title of lifetime noble." ”

Brandon heard this, and rarely smiled: "Congratulations, madam, this is an honor from the royal family!" ”

"Thank you!" Joanna said happily and kissed the child in her arms, "And you, child!" ”

An Feng smiled and hugged her: "Share this news, right?" ”

"Wait, let me take a closer look." Joanna took the tablet and read it with suppressed excitement. "My fiefdom is in Kingston-on-Thames? It seems to be quite close to the city of London, the Cops Hill in Newmaden? A place I've never heard of. ”

"It can't be a corner, right?" An Feng was a little puzzled.

"No, it won't." Joanna shook her head, "This district is very close to the city of London, and I heard that it is a wealthy area that has emerged in recent years, and my fiefdom is somewhere, but it doesn't matter." This is also not the Middle Ages, the fief is only a symbol, and it can no longer become the domain of the nobility. ”

"Yes." An Feng nodded, "If it is the age of the monarch, Baroness of Cops Mountain, you now have land and people under your protection." ”

Joanna smiled: "If that's the case, it's not easy to shoulder the heavy responsibility." ”

"Look at the back." An Feng said that he was happy for a moment just now, and he ignored the next bunch of words. "Nomination gets you into the House of Lords. To be a councillor? ”

Joanna also looked at it carefully, An Feng pondered, as if he understood the meaning, in fact, the lifelong aristocracy of England is generally for politicians who are preparing to enter the House of Lords - because it has a rule that members of the House of Lords must be nobles, so if you want to enter, you must have a layer of vests.

By extension, this is a co-optation tactic, because the House of Lords does not have much power.

"Take a look down." In order to verify a certain idea of An Feng. He pulled down the list, and sure enough, his name appeared. "Bruce. Feng. Quiet? Who will help me add a nondescript middle name? It's still KBE, I'm really willing, and I'll be a jazz after accepting it. ”

An Feng's status is still a citizen of the Commonwealth of St. Kitts and Nevis, that is, a member of the British Commonwealth, and can accept the title of monarch of the United Kingdom.

But Joanna heard that he was not interested: "You don't want it? ”

"Unless the royal family gives me a hereditary earl." An Feng smiled and said, "Otherwise, I can only give up." ”

"Seriously." She said. "It's a great honor."

"I know, but things are doing more harm than good, I still have a U.S. passport, and if I accept the medal as a citizen of the Commonwealth, it will make the fact of my dual citizenship known to the world. If someone with a heart grabs me and doesn't let go, Anderson and I will get into unnecessary trouble. ”

"That's right." Joanna understood.

Although there will be no problem, dual citizenship is acquiesced, but An Feng also doesn't like trouble.

As for why there is his name, it is still a high level like KBE, and the reason is also to win over. An Feng is low-key, but his weight cannot be ignored, the royal family's decision must have been considered by the government, giving Baroness Joanna, pulling her into the House of Lords, and then awarding An Feng a medal, is undoubtedly a kind of flattery.

Let's just say the simplest point, in today's world, it is the five hooligans who can manufacture exoskeleton machinery, which also widens the gap between them and ordinary countries.

"So what should I do here?" Joanna hesitated.

An Feng smiled and said: "You can accept the title with peace of mind, you are English, this is no problem." As for parliamentarians, it doesn't matter if you go to a nursing home or not, but if you are not prepared for such a thing as politics, you should not touch it, and if you do, it will be difficult to get rid of it, and I suggest you don't mix it up. ”

An Feng has been in the United States for so many years, and has had a lot of contact with politicians, and has seen through the connotation.

"Mr. Brandon, what is your opinion?" Joanna turned her head.

Brandon said solemnly: "I can only make advice from the aspect of life, if Madame you are going to become a councillor, your speech and behavior will definitely be noticed, although there is no hard and fast rule to attend the meeting, but there will be times a year, if the focus is on the family, I do not recommend accepting the invitation to the House of Lords." ”

Joanna shook her head: "I'm not interested in politics. ”

"Then let Mr. Brandon write a reply for us." An Feng said that in terms of official document writing, the well-read housekeeper's writing is not ordinary.

"I'm sorry for you." Joanna said.

"I'll do it, sir or ma'am." Brandon nodded.

In fact, the list on this email is only a first draft, because although the conferment is a happy event, there is no shortage of alternative people in history, such as Lucian. Freud, Roald. Dahl, Francis. Bacon and the like decisively rejected the honor granted by the royal family.

In order to prevent this kind of trouble, the first-draft of the good-looking British royal family is the role of inquiry, and if you don't want it, you can reply, and the royal family will remove the name from the final list. But there is no such thing as an impermeable wall, and in 2003 a good actor published a list of those who refused.

But there are always a few who refuse, like An Feng, who feels very dragged now. (To be continued......)
