The small episode of the port did not interfere with Bianca and Ye You in the slightest.

After three days in the submarine, I was finally able to come up and breathe, even if it was just to breathe in the air mixed with the sun, it was a pleasure.

"Captain Shakespeare said to give us a day off, and she would be reimbursed for all our spending in the city — but where should we go?"

Ye You and Bianca are new to the city, and Jimmy, the mechanic, is not a person who likes to spend all his time.

He was still a child, but he was a very good mechanic for the repair and maintenance of submarines. It's just that I'm a little timid.

"This, here, robots...... It has the function of a tour guide. Jimmy introduced.

"Not only the police, but also the function of a tour guide?" Bianca was surprised that even in their world, artificial intelligence had not yet flooded to the point of civilian use.

"yes, yes, it's amazing."

"Who are those robots responsible for?" Ye You asked. It's impossible to work spontaneously.

"It's an organization called the 'City Management Association,' which can also be seen as a 'city hall,' and they use robots to maintain law and order, collect taxes, and other aspects of city management."

"That's not your average awesome." Ye You admired.

He couldn't help but want to take apart the letterbox-like cylindrical robot and see what the structure was inside.

To be able to do what Jimmy said is definitely a real strong artificial intelligence.

"—Sir, please don't mess around. If you misbehaves against a robot, an alarm system will be triggered, and the enemy will be determined. ”

Suddenly, a female voice intervened.

Ye You turned his head to see a young girl, with golden hair like the sun, wearing a pure white robe that was as light as an ancient Greek sage, with petal-like feather ornaments on both sides of her hair.

"Thanks for the reminder. You are? ”

"I'm a philosopher." The person who came said proudly.

"Philosopher ♂...... It's a breath of freedom. When Ye You heard this word now, he felt a little wrong.

"Matter is finite, but thinking is infinite, and in this sense, philosophers are undoubtedly closest to the other side of freedom." ”

Can this be picked up too?

"So, who are?" Bianca asked again, not knowing what to call her, anyway.

She coughed lightly, "Hello everyone, my name is Thales Hou Milidos. The profession is the director of the Institute of Metaphysics of the 'Great Library', the commander of the three armies—that is, the true philosopher. ”

So, why do you have to emphasize that you are a philosopher?

She handed over a business card, and Jimmy's eyes widened and he excitedly said, "Are you really a library worker!" It's amazing. ”

"The Great Library?"

Jimmy exclaimed, "The big library here is the most powerful research institution in the world. The robotic system in the city was designed by the Great Library. At the same time, it is also one of the highest governing bodies of the city. ”

Bianca heard Jimmy's words and couldn't help but step forward: "Since it's such a big man, it's not for nothing that he found us." What's the point? ”

Thales leaned forward, his golden hair swaying, with a faint fragrance, and smiled, "Of course it's because I'm interested in you."

“……”

"To be precise, being interested in your status as 'outsiders' will give us a lot of other knowledge to our Great Library. I will act with you, and in return,"

Thales' white hand patted his chest, "I, the library's special researcher, will be the tour guide and show you around the city!" ”

Little Jimmy nodded excitedly, it seemed that he really admired the Great Library, which is the awe of any scholar who possesses knowledge.

Ye You and Bianca glanced at each other, "Nice proposal." ”

Thales happily folded his palms and led them to the holy land of this bustling city.

the rice flour chiffon cake of the "Nile Orchard"; canned sea urchins from "Memories of Nicosia"; Pineapple crafts from "Copenhagen Mermaids......

The more Ye You walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could this guy look a bit like a salesman.

As if reading Ye You's heart, Thales smiled: "After all, this is also a tourist city."

Eventually, they came to the Great Library, which Jimmy had been talking about awkwardly.

When they walked in, even Bianca was amazed, "This volume is really powerful, it's all built to the tenth floor underground." ”

The overall structure of the large library is spiral-shaped, and the walls made of book buildings wind up to a height of more than ten meters, and the same goes down, all of which are filled with books.

"Many of the books here are reminiscences and retellings by 'outsiders', and contain many works from other worlds.

There are "Zen Zen and Motorcycle Maintenance Technology", "Shameless Moon", "Analysis of the Advantages and Disadvantages of Separation of Powers and Constitutional Monarchy", and "The Great Adventure of Roaring Rum". ”

"Huh?"

"Of course, these are 'memories', not 'originals', if the content of these books is different from what you know, please be sure to mark it, and if you're lucky, you might even get a commission."

Ye You looked at the ocean of books, "In other words, all the books here can be read at will?" ”

"Yes."

Ye You stepped into it, swimming in the sea of books, he found the books he was interested in and sat down to read,

[I suggest thinking about this question: Do machines think?]

This question should start with a re-examination of the definition of "thinking".

What is "thinking"?

It's customary to frame these definitions as much as possible in everyday life – but this attitude is dangerous.

So, I'm trying to explore new models for what it means to think ......]

While Ye You was reading Alan Turing's essay and pondering, the Caledonia was attacked like never before.

"Retreat!"

"All ashore! Not enough lifeboats? You also swim for me, and if you continue to stay here, you will only die! ”

"I've never heard of such a sea monster in the shallow waters of Alexandria!"

Captain Shakespeare was also a good martial artist, holding a sword, and the first mate "Man in the Iron Mask" were back to back on the submarine, nervously watching the sea, buying time for the crew to retreat.

The huge sea monster that came from nowhere just now opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the crew who were unloading the cargo in one gulp.

Rita reacted immediately, put on the full set of both hands, and chased directly into the sea, but soon a second sea monster jumped out, set off a huge white wave, and slammed into the submarine floating on the surface.

"Damn, what the hell is going on!"
