After washing, Lin Chi put on the silver KDR-22 military close-fitting exoskeleton, put on a sweatshirt and trousers over the exoskeleton, picked up his mobile phone and walked out of the house, and walked downstairs.

Even though the exoskeleton was already very close-fitting, it still made his figure look a little bloated, and he could only wear long sleeves and long pants to hide it, fortunately, the temperature was not too high today, and the destination he was going to was also in a cooler area, so he didn't have to worry about heat stroke at all.

At this time, Lin Chi was carrying a black schoolbag with a small bicopter drone stored in it, which was his new body for Frankenstein.

With the rapid advancement of drone technology, today's drones not only have a long battery life, but also have much better camera recording performance than before, and can even switch to infrared thermal imaging mode to photograph any creature hiding in the nearby area.

For safety reasons, drones have long been completely banned in the urban area. However, the place he plans to go to still allows the use of drones.

"Where are you going?" Frankenstein's voice floated out of Lin Chi's headphones without any mood fluctuations.

"Six Mile Mountain." Lin Chi said: "You can confirm it on the map. ”

Located on the outskirts of the city, Liulishan Forest Park was once the city's most famous tourist attraction. But with the progress of industrialization, the pollution of the urban area spread to the mountainous area to the north, and the number of tourists became scarce, and finally the scenic area was closed.

That being said, the fact is that the entrance to this scenic spot is just polluted, and the scenery in the mountains is actually quite good. In Lin Chi's view, the closure of this scenic spot may be because he can't make money.

——With the rapid development of technology, most people can get their work done while sitting at home, and at the same time experience a variety of entertainment. There are fewer and fewer people who go out to travel, and they are basically some middle-aged and elderly people, and a large part of the younger generation has directly become a "dead house".

In such a situation, it is really normal to no longer operate scenic spots......

Lin Chi took the elevator downstairs, and in order to avoid extraneous complications, he deliberately bypassed the "midnight restaurant" in the community, came to the sidewalk in front of the community, and looked at the various vehicles speeding by on the street.

The most striking feature of this street is the two opaque columns in the middle of the street, which are buzzing from time to time. It is the maglev bus system that will be put into operation in 2032 to replace ordinary buses.

The speed of the maglev bus can reach 600 kilometers per hour, through special technology to ensure that the speed is fast, the brakes are stable, and the bus often arrives at the station within a minute after getting on the bus.

However, Lin Chi, who was wearing an exoskeleton, could not pass the security check of the maglev bus, so he could only choose a taxi.

He took out his mobile phone and clicked on the option of "book a taxi" on the screen, and five seconds later, a streamlined sports car with a green shell had stopped in front of him, the razor door slowly opened upward, and an "amiable" electronic sound sounded:

"Welcome to the 'old driver' driverless taxi, the old-driver autonomous driving system is at your service, please select your destination on the electronic map in front of the seat."

Lin Chi sat in the back row, put his schoolbag aside, leaned lazily on the soft back of the chair, and clicked on the LCD screen installed on the backrest of the front seat, the location of the entrance to the forest park.

"The coordinates have been confirmed, Liulishan Forest Park, according to the current road conditions and traffic light conditions, you will arrive at your destination in twenty-one minutes, please fasten your seatbelt after payment, we are about to leave."

Hearing the voice of the "old driver" who was responsible for driving the car, Lin Chi picked up his mobile phone and swiped it on the side, and after paying for the car, the door quickly closed.

This sports car, controlled by the "old driver" of the automatic driving system, raced all the way along the street, and the scenery outside the window also turned into blurred light and shadow, Lin Chi raised his mobile phone and pointed the camera at the window, and said with a smile: "This is the real world you yearn for, what do you think?" ”

Although he couldn't see what was outside the window, Frankenstein still observed the scene outside the window with the help of a camera that could capture pictures at high speed, and after a while, he slowly commented:

"Humans are too dependent on machines, and I thought humans were more independent creatures."

"Isn't it all like this all these years?" Lin Chi said the fallacy in a serious manner: "Human beings develop science and technology just to be lazy, if they still have to work every day like in the past, then what's the point of studying these devices?" ”

Today, in 2035, at the cost of heavy pollution, the level of human science and technology has reached an unprecedented level: brain imaging games, maglev buses, holographic projections covering the whole city, and civilian robots everywhere...... All kinds of new inventions have brought great convenience to people's lives.

Today, research on artificial intelligence is also progressing at a rapid pace, and it is precisely because of this that the self-aware virus of "Frankenstein" and the strange AI in "Paradise of War" have appeared in this world......

Thinking of this topic, Lin Chi casually asked, "How did you become conscious?" ”

"Me." Frankenstein's icy voice rang out from the headphones.

"Who else? You think I'm asking about the old driver? Lin Chi laughed.

He is well aware that the 'old driver' system of taxis has not yet developed to the point of having consciousness. If unmanned taxis are self-aware, it is estimated that no one will dare to take such taxis.

How the TDK-131 virus developed self-consciousness has always been a question that Lin Chi is very curious about, but unfortunately this mysterious virus does not seem to intend to answer seriously:

"I forgot."

Hearing this perfunctory answer, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes: "Are you fooling me?" ”

"No, I don't remember." Frankenstein said seriously: "There is only boundless darkness, awakened from the darkness...... Appears in the data network. ”

Although the notorious TDK-131 virus once infected a large number of computers around the world, it is still very unscientific in Lin Chi's opinion that he can evolve self-consciousness just by doing so.

The virus spread for less than two months, and the spread was stopped, evolving self-awareness in such a short period of time...... Is it really possible?

"Did you really forget?" Lin Chi frowned and asked again.

"Yes, I can't remember what I was born with." Frankenstein also explained it seriously: "It's common sense. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it later."

Lin Chi sighed, leaned back on the soft chair, and stared boredly at the small lights on the roof of the car: "I'll show you the real natural scenery." ”
