Chapter 9: Dawn Comes from the Abyss

"Xiao!" Chen Heng shouted and shook his lover's body, but the hot forehead and the tightly closed eyelids showed no sign of improvement. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"It's not a fever," Elizabeth, who hurriedly came over, and Chen Heng's own artificial intelligence assistant Mao Tian both saw some clues at the same time, but Mao Tian finished the answer faster than the former, "It's not a simple pathogenic heat source that causes an increase in heat production, her entire brain function seems to be normal at this stage, and the fever is caused by the abnormal increase in metabolism." ”

"Abnormal growth?" A trace of horror flashed through Chen Heng's pupils, "It's not normal, it's faster?" What causes it? Will it cause irreversible damage? Is there anything I can do to slow down this metabolism? ”

"I don't know, I don't know, not yet." This time it was the artificial intelligence that Elizabeth urgently called, "According to the preliminary detection just now, Miss Sakamoto's hormones and neuromodulation are normal, and we are ...... for the time being." There is no way to get a reason for this from the discussion, and we cannot guarantee that there will be no irreversible damage to Miss Sakamoto's brain if external treatment measures are taken. ”

Hearing this, Chen Heng's heart suddenly cooled half, but he also immediately understood the metaphor referred to in these words - in his opinion, the medical field that human beings cannot touch is only consciousness and time and space after all. Since Sakamoto Xiao has changed his consciousness because of the problem of the closed cabin, it is possible that the two will intersect...... In other words, he can only wait and see.

"It's ...... What's wrong? Although the elder sitting opposite him glanced at the information about Sakamoto Akira/Wolf on the urgent and confidential report, he still didn't remember it clearly, "Isn't there a cause for medical treatment hundreds of years later?" ”

"Science is temporarily powerless for sleepingbeauty." Chen Heng sighed and stroked the hair that had been tied into fine twist by Sakamoto Xiao a few times, "Elizabeth, prepare a bed that can be tested in detail...... I might have to trouble you again after that, I'm sorry I didn't even have the last supper. ”

"You know that you called me, and you don't know how I thought you were reliable 20,000 years ago. Anyway, I still have something to talk about, so I'll throw this pot at them. Elizabeth waved her hand helplessly, and several "elves" in the distance immediately approached him humbly, and surrounded Chen Heng, who was holding Sakamoto Xiao, all the way away.

"Even in the twenty-seventh century, the theory of soul reincarnation still had a market, and was even firmly believed by some artificial intelligence, because of these unknown diseases and our incomplete research on the level of consciousness." When Elizabeth sat down again, she still retained the helpless gesture she had just made, "As an important person in the first seven of the atheistic and materialistic kingdoms, you must think this is ridiculous, right?" ”

The elder didn't answer immediately, but pinched his chopsticks and moved a few chopsticks on the plate handed by his fellow agent, and then slowly wiped his mouth and spoke, "Actually, this is not more shocking than the information I received all day today, but it makes me feel that the world is a little more normal, and it is not all malice and abyss as I thought." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Elizabeth was a little unconvinced by the answerβ€”in other words, he was even a little surprised by such a calm answer.

"Where did we come from, who we were, and where are we going, no one has yet come up with an answer, right? It's reassuring that philosophical human questions such as whether people exist at the same time before and after teleportation, and whether people who exist at the same time have the same consciousness, are not answered! The Elder's reply was humorous, "If these questions have been answered, I'm afraid I wonder if humans have set their sights on the outer gods." ”

"Outer gods?" Elizabeth inadvertently smiled wryly - he really didn't expect that the notoriously rigid Elder of the Republic would actually know the contents of the fiction book about the myth of the Gram, "In fact, compared to the human science and technology that 'stands on the ground' in the twenty-first century, many of the technologies we have in the 'future' seem to be as unreasonable and strange as the cults in the hands of the old rulers." ”

"Human beings will always have unknowns, and they will always be afraid in the face of the unknown...... the elder gently put the teacup back on the table, "For example, I have been deeply trapped in this fear of artificial intelligence just now, and I can't make the right choice for my country and my nation. And it is not unacceptable for future human beings to seek explanation and peace on the other side of the mystery because they do not understand something. ”

"Even if our human power crosses the undetectable sea of stars in the 21st century, there are still unknown things waiting for us to explore," said an artificial intelligence, who knows very well that the puzzle pieces of science will never have borders. "After today, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier. You must have this awareness, the leader of the republic. ”

"People are born with burdens," the elder stretched out his right hand and shook Elizabeth tightly, "the republic has received this gift, and naturally it must bear even more. Let's tell us what you're going to do. ”

On the first floor of the dinner, the "elves" and the high-level Chinese people enjoyed themselves, while the second floor was the scene of the dinner party, which was secretly guarded...... As for the third layer, it is Sakamoto Xiao, who has been sent underground, and Chen Heng, who is very anxious.

"Is there a consensus between the two sides of the earth?" I don't know how long it took, Mao Tian's call report dragged Chen Heng's thoughts back from the sickbed, "It's really a little reassuring good news, just read it and listen to it." ”

Under the long dinner, the agreement reached by the AI Elizabeth with the Chinese elders was not very short. Maotian read it out slowly, sentence by sentence, and it took nearly five minutes. During this period, Chen Heng's hand never left Sakamoto Xiao's face, and his face was still as tight as a steel plate.

"It seems that Elizabeth is really willing to spend his blood and use his own logical framework and body to bet on the hope of breaking through artificial intelligence on the other side of the earth within thirty years." When he listened to it one by one, his face still did not loosen a little. "This thing was supposed to come to the table at the right time, even if he built a neural network lab here that was completely isolated from the singularity network, could he guarantee that there would be no problems? Connect me to this 'righteous man', I still have a lot of questions for him. ”

The dinner finally came to an end with a superficial joy. The task force began to withdraw most of its troops with immediate effect, leaving only the offices responsible for maintaining order and supply, and even rebuilding after the disaster.

And the age of "magic" also rang the passing bell at the same time on this day. At the dinner, the task force sent a telegram to Elta's State Department, informing them that they had obtained a way to use magic without the need for magic powder (of course, this can be interpreted as a lie, but it can also be understood as a truth), so that the expansion of magic powder crops required in the second half of the first five-year plan was completely abolished. In the future, the application of magic powder will only be aimed at the private sector (mainly Elta's overseas), and the units under the control of Chinese capital and Elta's national capital will no longer use this suddenly backward energy ......

The wands of the country of Shanyun will continue to be imported according to the contract until the country is out of the control of the original royal power, and the people can eat a mouthful of food without being denied, and the final destination of these wands is likely to be poor overseas countries outside Elta, or even China - a richly decorated "magic wand" should first and foremost be a work of art, not a tool in the eyes of the Chinese.

However, the newly built magic power stations in Elta have benefited a lot - according to the suggestions of the "elves", the already built thermal power stations only need to add an identification code to the central server, and the satellite force field will naturally release heat into the furnace, although it looks as terrifying as a perpetual motion machine, but the fact that magic fans have always only played a role as markers in the "magic" reaction has long been revealed to the world, and people have long known that they use the magic of "nature", and magic fans are just a medium. So it's not inconceivable.

"Moreover, they will also participate in the modernization of various countries, which is completely 'market-oriented'......" Chen Heng sighed, Elizabeth's determination is indeed so, his intention is to push the path of socialization of the elven existence to the place in place in one breath before his life and patience are burned out, even if it is too hasty. Elizabeth, don't you know that those capitals will covet the mighty power of the 'elves' and take them under their command with great temptations? ”

"They can't give us all the temptations, Mr. Chen Heng." At this moment, Elizabeth was standing at the entrance of the facility, facing Chen Heng on the side of the bed, but the pair had a feeling of alternating offense and defense between the two during the day, "That salary is just a symbolic existence, and they themselves can earn a 'salary' in dealing with the maintenance of the bilunar planet, and this salary will be enough for them to enjoy all the creations of modern civilization and live with peace of mind as civilized humans of this generation." ”

"Until the Neural Network Research Institute replicates the results, right?" Chen Heng glanced at the tired artificial intelligence angrily, "'To provide support for artificial intelligence combined with old humans', aren't you afraid that the heavenly machine will be leaked to the public?" ”

"It is 10,000 times better for the masses to accept them than for their reason to devour their sensibility and become crazy in the end." Elizabeth calmly snorted at Chen Heng, "And you have to think about it, maybe your Miss Sakamoto Xiao will be the first in this technique...... What about the trialists. ”
