Chapter 1: Experimental Explosions
In 2050, Hualong Kingdom, Luobei City, the top floor of Shenyu Scientific Research Building. In the huge laboratory, the instruments and equipment are "buzzing", and the huge display wall facing the window is flashing with a faint blue light.
"AI 007 is ready!"
"Brain clone cell extraction complete!"
"The porter and generator started normally!"
"Bang bang bang", a capable female assistant in a clean white lab coat knocked on the glass door with the team leader's door number, and said lightly with a half-yawn, "Boss, the seventh experiment is ready."
The dark room was silent, and after a few seconds, when the female assistant raised her arm and was about to knock on the door again, a hoarse male voice came from inside the room, "Okay, everyone has worked hard this week, let's go back first, and I'll finish the last step."
The female assistant suddenly fell asleep, "But tomorrow will be ......", the male voice in the room directly interrupted her, "Tomorrow, I will give you an explanation." The female assistant rolled her eyes at the door, snorted, and turned to leave with the experimenters.
In the secluded room, a man with a long figure stood leaning against the window, his wrinkled and somewhat yellowed white coat loosely wrapped around his body, his fluffy gray hair half-covering thick glasses, and from time to time he took two puffs of a cigarette, looking out the window at the sleeping city, looking lonely.
It's been 35 years, and Niu Fei still hasn't been able to understand why people are so tired of living? Why can't you follow your own heart, do what you like, and live happily and freely? Niu Fei pouted like self-deprecation, thinking about what to do so much, the general trend is incomprehensible, do not change, do your best!
Speaking of Niu Fei, he has lived half his life arbitrarily, and he is a "splashy monkey" who is taken as a warning, and he applied for college and insisted on reading computers, according to the idea at the time, he was determined to develop AI robots, where did he know that he had just graduated and encountered a capital winter, and in order to make a living, he could only be a programmer and moved bricks for two years. Subsequently, the entanglement of interests in the workplace and the boring and heavy work prompted Niu Fei to return to campus and study biology. Although he has invested a huge amount of manpower and material resources, he has achieved few results since the project of "AI + biological brain cells" was established, and the patience of the Shenyu Fund has been exhausted.
At the meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the shareholder representatives of Shenyu Fund will make a final decision based on the results presented by Niu Fei. The seven experiments that Niu Fei had planned for many years failed six times, and the six AIs that had been cultivated for many years were reduced to defective products along with the precious nano cell nuclei. Niu Fei spent a week in the laboratory repeatedly deducing and adjusting the experimental plan, but whenever he proposed a rectification plan, he was vetoed by the assistants, and the majority vote restricted Niu Fei to death. In desperation, he could only seek the last opportunity to experiment, which could not only realize Niu Fei's plan, but also give the assistants the opportunity to shirk their responsibilities.
Niu Fei slowly turned around by the window, holding the cigarette in one arm, and whispered to the huge display wall separated by the glass wall, "Iris." ”
The faint blue light on the display wall gradually brightened, intertwining with the appearance of a half-grown girl, "Master, I'm here, Iris is always waiting for orders." An ethereal and crisp female voice rang out in the laboratory.
"Iris, the experiment is about to be carried out", Niu Feichang exhaled and continued: "If this experiment fails, you may disappear from the world, are you afraid?"
"You created Iris to realize your ideals, and this is also the meaning and mission of Iris existence. The female voice replied without hesitation.
Niu Fei shook his head when he heard the answer, the standard and perfect answer, the beautiful female voice was so harsh in his ears. In the end, it is still a machine, no matter how intelligent and advanced AI is, it will only understand when it is trained, and the results of the standard and standard. Unlike real life, it can think, make mistakes, know how to create, and have emotions, and this is what Niu Fei has been pursuing for many years.
Since he has taken this road, even if there is no way out in the end, Niu Fei has never regretted it, not to mention that there is one last chance, Niu Fei took a puff of cigarette butt, twisted the cigarette butt with his fingers, and popped out the window. Firmly open the glass door of the office, "Iris, let's get started!"
Niu Fei adjusted his coat, put on the experimental auxiliary equipment, and rechecked the preparations made by the assistants twice from beginning to end. On the basis of the original equipment, a cancer cell induction device and a powerful transmission virus were added, and the energy supply of the generator was increased.
That's right, replacing normal cells with cancer cells and supplementing them with transmissible viruses is Niu Fei's rectification plan, and it is also the focus of opposition from his assistants. In Niu Fei's view, the first six experiments were either inactive cells or the binding degree did not reach a satisfactory state, and the activity of cancer cells and the infectivity of the virus can solve these problems. The unpredictable results that the assistants feared were no longer on Niu Fei's radar, and the only thing to do was to complete the experiment according to their own ideas and verify the conjecture.
Niu Fei stood on the main console to adjust the experimental parameters, looked back at the biological AI core embedded in the generator behind him, and firmly pressed the control button, the glass cover on the generator was slowly covered, and the equipment in the laboratory made a huge roar, and arcs flashed from time to time in the glass cover.
Niu Fei's glasses stared at the completion progress on the console display, 1%, 2%...... 67%, stopped, the progress was stuck at 67%, Niu Fei's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, his breathing became heavier and heavier, and he shouted "I can't wait", grabbed the power control handle, increased the energy supply, and the completion progress on the screen continued to rise.
99%, seeing that victory is imminent, no matter whether the final experiment can succeed or not, at least he imagines that the experiment will be completed, and Niu Fei's whole person trembles uncontrollably.
The energy supply is still stretched to the maximum, but the progress does not mean to rush past 100% at all, is it a defeat after all? Niu Fei looked sluggish, his eyes were gloomy, and he walked towards the generator step by step, slowly uncovered the glass shield, and touched the biological AI core in the blue current with the palm of his hand.
In an instant, the wind and clouds gathered in the headspace of the Divine Domain Scientific Research Building, thunder gusted, the wind blew in the laboratory, and the lights on the roof crackled and exploded before extinguishing. Niu Fei passed out holding the biological AI core. After a while, the lights in the laboratory were lit up one by one, but there was no trace of Niu Fei and the experiment, and the progress bar on the display screen of the main console was 100%!
