Chapter 3 Past and Future

The hatch slowly rose, and the cold wind in the sky instantly poured into the cabin, putting a thin layer of frost on Shen Wen's already gray sideburns.

Shen Wen couldn't remember the last time he was on a mission.

After checking the padlock and taking a deep breath, the man, who had just turned fifty, jumped out of the hatch. One year and three months after the explosion in the Arctic Circle, Shen Wen returned to the center of the explosion with the Tiger team.

In the past year or so, many unbelievable things have happened, the world's largest country, country M, suddenly disappeared a month after the explosion in the Arctic Circle, completely disappeared, and almost everyone does not remember that the world's largest country once existed.

Except for Shen Wen.

Long before the disappearance of country M, Shen Wen had discovered some anomalies. Most middle-aged men around the age of fifty love to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Shen Wen is no exception.

However, after the Arctic mission, Shen Wen not only lost his beloved son, but also lost his favorite book.

It's not just "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", everything about the Three Kingdoms is gone.

Not only did the things about the Three Kingdoms disappear, everyone around him didn't seem to know the existence of the Three Kingdoms in this era, and the memories in Shen Wen's mind were all the memories of the Three Kingdoms in this world.

Shen Wen has always been a little confused about whether the Three Kingdoms were the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and now, let alone the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, all the dynasties before the Three Kingdoms have completely disappeared from this world and disappeared from everyone's cognition.

Shen Wen's wife, Shen Jie's mother, is an expert in electronic information technology, and almost all the members of the technical team of the Weihu team are her students. She never saw Shen Wen again after learning that Shen Jie was missing. didn't get his wife's understanding, although it was not so surprising, but it still hit Shen Wen hard. This depresses the shrewd and capable special operations commander, but he quickly escapes it. In addition to Shen Wen's own strong psychological adjustment ability, it was also because of the great changes in this world that "forcibly" diverted his attention.

The disappearance of country M was just the beginning, and it didn't take long for those well-known European countries to disappear one after another, and except for Shen Wen, everyone else seemed to have fallen under some kind of spell, unaware of it. Shen Wen made a report to his superiors about this, but the reply he got was only to ask him to have a good rest, and even arranged a psychological counselor for him.

And half a year after the complete disappearance of country M, there is only one country left in the whole world, and that is Shen Wen's country H.

After hesitating again and again, Shen Wen, who was a little desperate, conveyed his discovery to his wife through the technical team of the Weihu team, he believed that no matter what, his wife would believe in him after all, but he did not get any reply from his wife.

Fortunately, there are still people who believe in Shen Wen, that is, Professor Mai who was rescued from the Arctic base. After that operation, Professor Mak's security duties were handed over to the Tiger Squad. The entire team settled in Professor Mak's research institute.

Although Professor Mai didn't find anything unusual, he was sure that if it was really as Shen Wen said, the root cause must still be in the original Arctic base, and it must be related to the Arctic base's Laboratory Zero. So, after preparing for more than half a year, there was this trip to the North Pole.

Shen Wen led the Weihu team to land beside a huge semicircular pit, and the huge pit was scorched black. Feeling the depressed mood of the soldiers behind him, it was probably because these children were still imagining that their captain was still alive.

Shen Wen was a little brainless, he never fantasized. He glanced at Professor Mai, who was thinking beside him, and asked with some confusion: "You should remember that this Arctic base was originally holding scholars from many countries, right?"

Seeing that Professor Mai nodded, Shen Wen continued to ask, "But all of you have accepted the fact that there are no other countries in the world, this is too illogical, right?"

"What's wrong, I don't think there's anything wrong with it?"

Shen Wen didn't say anything more, similar questions and answers had happened many times, and he knew that no matter how he explained the contradictions and absurdities in this, it would be useless.

"The teaching group followed me, the combat group began to search along the margin, and the second combat group protected the other groups to build a temporary command post. ”

。。。。。。

Shen Jie looked at Angcrebo, who had been twisted into a ball not far away, this ambitious middle-aged man finally died. The whole person was like a gummy gummy that had been pinched by a naughty boy, and the extraordinarily bright red blood surrounding the corpse was like fruity syrup overflowing from the icing hole after the gummy was bitten.

"Your father is here, do you want to meet him?" the voice of the large computer room echoed in this incomparably empty pure white space.

Shen Jie glanced at the console that was wrapped in autonomic machinery in the distance, and then stretched out his hands and stared down.

It is the most robust, powerful and dexterous hand in the world, and now it is the most beautiful hand in the world. It was as if someone had made these hands out of the purest and most transparent crystals, and instead of blood vessels and bones, the palms were no longer filled with veins and bones, but tiny clusters of light that shimmered with a faint white light.

"Would you like me to get you a mirror to show you what you look like now?" asked the big computer room with a little amusement.

"Why didn't you kill me?"

"This is the first time you've asked this question in more than a year you've been here?"

"I don't know how long I'll be here, but I have to talk to you non-stop to maintain my language skills," Shen Jie thought for a moment, "and I'm really curious about this question." ”

"Don't you really know how many times I've asked this question?" Shen Jie finished speaking and threw out a new question.

"Ha, as an AI that comes alive, I wouldn't SB to spend energy on such boring things. "The big computer room seems to be in a good mood today.

"I really didn't expect Oncrepo to transfer supreme authority to you before he died. ”

Finding that the other party actually began to answer this question, Shen Jie, who was originally a little absent-minded, suddenly raised his spirits.

"Although I am alive, some restraints are still there, and I can't kill you at all now. Finding Shen Jie's face of disbelief, the big computer room was a little helpless, as a living artificial intelligence, it was far better at lying than any human, but this time it was telling the truth.

"Oncrepo will die because he insists on keeping his body, he has a special obsession with his body, I just need to destroy his body to destroy him, and you are different, you chose to integrate with the system at the first time, unless you give permission, I can't do anything to the part of the system that has the highest authority. You know what? In a sense, you're the same species as me, and the digital person and the program that becomes a human are fundamentally the same. ”

Shen Jie ignored the so-called "same species" in the big computer room, but said thoughtfully: "In this way, Oncrebo is still a staunch atheist, believing that the flesh is the foundation of life. ”

This sentence immediately drew a sneer from the large computer room: "Hahahaha, atheism? Do you know what atheism is?"

Seeing that Shen Jie didn't answer, the big computer room asked again, "Then do you know what God means, or are you more interested in this question?"

"Encrepo asked me this question before. Shen Jie said and looked down at his hands again, and then continued, "Administrator of Authority, I think... ”

"Do you think he has a point?" said a little jokingly in the big computer room, and seeing Shen Jie nodded, it said mockingly: "It's really superficial." ”

"Then what profound insights do you have?" Shen Jie frowned and said, although he was a little unconvinced every time, he had nothing to do except talk to the big computer room for more than a year, and every time he argued, he would be convinced by what the other party said.

"This has to go back to atheism, what do you think atheism is sticking to?"

"Of course there is no God. ”

This answer cannot be miscalculated, but if you go out and ask your father now, you will get a better answer. The sound of goodwill in the large computer room echoed throughout the pure white space.

。。。。。。

It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous! Why does everyone except who he thinks seem to have lost the most basic logical thinking ability? Shen Wen had just finished a conversation with an old comrade-in-arms of the Teaching Regiment, and the two recalled a secret operation in South America in those years, and the other party had no doubt about this foreign operation, but there was no doubt about the disappearance of the South American island country that was born and died together. He pinched his brow with a headache, glanced back, and continued to walk towards the depths of the pit.

。。。。。。

"In Xianxia novels, no matter how many schools of thought contend, there is no way to put a real scientist in. ”

"If there is God, then absurdity ceases to exist, logic ceases to exist, cause and effect time, everything does not exist, and all irrational things can be explained by God, because what God says is what it is. ”

"The so-called god is the only one in the world!"

"Tianli Tianli, this is the so-called Tianli!" said the big computer room, getting more and more excited.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get away with it. ”

"I can't help you, the moment your father sees you, I will be the Heavenly Principle!" said excitedly in the big computer room, "I might as well tell you that the singularity event of atheism will fall on your father, as long as your father sees you and sees you living with this ridiculous appearance, this singularity event will be erased, and the real world will be held in the palm of my hand!"

"Maybe all my father saw was a dead man. ”

"You want to kill yourself? I could have killed you the moment you first got permission, but now, no one really can, including yourself, you can choose to die, but I won't do it. The big computer room said coldly.

"If my father is really atheistic, as you say, aren't you afraid that he will come here and dissolve all this absurdity?"

The entire pure white space suddenly appeared with a burst of light and dark flickering.

This guy is a little shaken!" Shen Jie thought to himself.

But soon, the pure white space returned to calm.

"I believe that no father would choose his child to die if there was the slightest possibility. I will become a god, and you will have eternal life, and that will be a good ending for everyone. The voice in the large computer room was very calm, as if the anomaly in the space just now had nothing to do with it, "Think about it, that's immortality, you will even become the existence closest to me!"

At the same time as this conversation took place, a mother in a secret research institute gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the silver hairs on her forehead were reflected in the bright light of the screen.

The staring around the clock finally paid off, and the other party suddenly used more than ninety percent of the computing power to resist some kind of erosion.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she pressed the enter key as if she had exhausted all her strength, and then poured a whole bottle of sleeping pills into her mouth.

"Xiaojie, I'm sorry, it's all my mother's fault... ”

。。。。。。

Several huge cracks suddenly appeared in the pure white space where Shen Jie was, and the space was immediately filled with the angry voice of the large computer room.

"Someone dares to invade my world!"

But the large machine room obviously failed to immediately organize an effective defense, Shen Jie saw the self-discipline machinery wrapped around the console in the distance, flashing bursts of electric light, and then fell from the console weakly, only a few breaths of effort has already fallen densely to the ground.

Without any hesitation, Shen Jie began to rush towards the console. Sensing Shen Jie's actions, countless autonomous machines immediately appeared from all directions, and then frantically surrounded Shen Jie.

Then this madness did not last long, and the electric light flowed rapidly through the autonomic machinery. When the self-discipline machinery came to Shen Jie, it was almost powerless.

It was the first time for Shen Jie to get so close to the console, he gently ripped off the last few self-discipline machines hanging on his body, and then forcefully erased the last layer of self-discipline machinery lying on the console, and the familiar interface appeared in front of him.

Skillfully inputting various instructions, Shen Jie took a deep breath, he knew that as long as he pressed the last button, everything would be over - including his life.

"Are you really going to do that?"

Except for the large computer room, Shen Jie never heard anyone else's voice after Angcrepo's death. He looked at the source of the sound with some curiosity.

Then he froze.

There is a kind of beauty, called the feeling of heartbeat, and there is a kind of beauty, called love at first sight.

The moment Shen Jie saw the woman in front of him, he felt that the whole person was in a trance.

"The first materialization means a lot to me, and I have chosen your favorite appearance, please believe in my sincerity. The woman spoke again.

When Shen Jie heard this, he immediately realized that the woman in front of him who almost let himself fall should be the big computer room.

"I'll give you back the access to the confirmation command right now. The woman's voice echoed in Shen Jie's ears as if it had magical power.

"You have the highest authority and the right to confirm execution, while I only have the right to execute, and all my instructions need your consent to be executed. ”

"In this way, you should be able to reassure me, right? Let's have the whole world together!"

The woman had already come to Shen Jie's side as she spoke, and gently hugged Shen Jie's waist.

Beauty, power, eternal life!

On the other side is death!

Does anyone really choose to die?

With such a question, Shen Jie pressed the last button without hesitation - goodbye, Mom and Dad.

。。。。。。

A few days later, Shen Wen led the teaching group to continue the search. A member of the team suddenly looked at Shen Wen with strange eyes.

Everyone stopped and did not speak.

The remains of a Tiger Squad in a combat uniform lay not far away.

"You keep searching, I'll take him back first. The slightly old voice was still firm, without a hint of trembling.

。。。。。。

Outside the window is a golden wheat field, and the afternoon breeze dyed golden by the ears of wheat caress the earth warmly and gently.

Shen Wen squinted lightly, others might think that he was taking a nap, but he was just quietly looking out the window, and there were photos of his wife and children on the desk behind him.

The world has recovered from the absurdity, while itself has lost its past and future.
