September 22, 103 A.M. 20 a.m.

"Want coffee?"

Mr. Mers, who was looking down in contemplation, had not slept for days, and his front was full of various information summaries and data reports.

"Thank you." Mersy rarely smiled.

Eun Zhi, who is the wife, stands behind her husband and squeezes his shoulder.

She knew she couldn't help much, but she was silently by her side.

Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for? Merce often used this phrase to praise his wife, but today he was really tired, and after nearly a month of hard work, the answer he got was still unknown.

Kui's technology is far beyond the scope of human cognition, and it is such a being who surpasses so many human beings, but is still humble like a child with a strong desire for knowledge, full of curiosity about human beings, and the culture and history of mankind as a whole.

But this curiosity has also brought a lot of trouble to mankind.

For example, the question that Mers is facing right now.

Is Sierra real or fake?

As a father, Rank's answer is false, but it is based on a father's intuitive feeling about his daughter, not a conclusion based on facts.

In Mers's view, everything about Serra is no different from the real her, and she has an autonomous consciousness, soul, and dreams, which is not as simple as a "clone".

It's as if Kui really made the other you real from a mirror.

The study of Serra is nearing completion due to the current technical ceiling, but from the answers so far, everything is still ambiguous. No one dares to make an absolute judgment to decide her life or death.

And, just over ten days ago, after it was confirmed that the golden birdcage did indeed exist somewhere in this world, Mers's job was much more complicated.

The data in front of him now is not only Serra's, but also Yin Jianan, Rayser and the relevant data of Lin Fan, the spoiler sent by the golden birdcage.

The progenitor cells of all four people have been meta-sampled, and it has been concluded that they are their "real" selves and that there is no such thing as recreation.

"No...... There must be something we haven't noticed, it's certainly not perfect, it's just that our vision is too narrow......"

Every time Mers is forced by these data and has no way out, she will use this sentence to remind herself. But after many times, slowly, in the face of this reminder, Merce also began to question, questioning whether her reflection was right or wrong......

Enzhi, who knew her husband's temperament well, couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Meiers's expression holding the data report, and she hesitated for a long time before saying it.

"My dear, if this is the answer, why should we continue to torture ourselves? Why don't you try to accept it first, and then watch how it continues? ”

Enzhi is a writer, and in order to create, her mind is always in a state of infinity, which is different from people like Mers, who engage in limited theories and limited academics.

One is a superman who focuses on infinity, and the other is an order that focuses on finitude.

The more we look forward to creating, the more we have to let go of our minds and imagination, because too many constraints will limit thinking.

On the contrary, in the course of theoretical and practical science, in order to be rigorous, it is necessary to pay attention to the shackles of details and rules, which also makes practical science a kind of arduous project that is more and more difficult to go deeper and deeper.

Merce listened to his wife's words and threw down the report, and he closed his eyes and thought about it no more.

Maybe she's right, at least now that I don't have the idea to proceed, I'm just asking for trouble. ’

Thinking so, Merce decided to take a break from her work for a while. He turned around, hugged his wife, and smiled more.

But this warmth only lasted for a moment, and the sound of hurried footsteps came.

One of the guards recklessly broke into Mers's laboratory, and when he saw the two, the young guard hurriedly said, "Mr. Mers! Oh no, something happened! We must now shut down all the cores of our minds! ”

"What?" Melse didn't even hear before the guard suddenly raised his weapon, aimed at the mind core in the corner of the lab, and opened fire.

In the midst of the splashes and sparks and the screams of Enzhi, the Mind Core load stopped functioning, and all the equipment in the laboratory stopped.

Furious, Merce protected his wife, drank the guard, and said, "What are you doing! Do you know what the consequences of that shot will be! ”

However, the guard dutifully continued his work, and after he ran to the core of the mind to load, and after confirming its state of destruction, he nervously explained, "I'm sorry, Mr. Merce, this is an urgent order from Mr. Runke. ”

With that, he hurried out of the room, and after a while, explosions and screams could be heard in the laboratory next door.

Merce couldn't comprehend all of this at all, and he immediately turned on the communicator and was about to contact Rank, only to suddenly remember that the core of his mind had been destroyed.

So he had to leave the lab with his wife first, and he had to know why Ranke was giving such a stupid order.

At this time, a large number of guards broke into the experimental area, and they were trying their best to destroy all the core subjects of thought, and the staff in the experimental area were frightened, and they were fleeing in a hurry.

After more than ten minutes, Mers finally came to the surface, and from a distance, he saw Rank, who was heavily protected by guards, as well as Han Kongwen and Lin Yan standing beside him.

'What are they going to do?' Merce couldn't figure it out.

When he approached, looking at Rank's extremely solemn expression, Merce said angrily: "Are you crazy? Do you know how important that data is in the lab? Now it's all ruined, and all this data is priceless! ”

In the face of Mers's anger, Rank's face was expressionless, and he only said lightly: "Compared to the pursuit of the golden birdcage, this loss is nothing at all." ”

Merce was stunned: "What?!" What do you mean? ”

Ranke took out a paper report and handed it to Mers, a very simple record of paper that was only applicable in times of special crisis.

*****9.22.103-01.17*****

The production line of D7721 in the military test zone was launched

Manufacturing instruction code AGB0000010017

The main construction material is Link co001 injected

……

*****9.22.103-01.50*****

The production line No. D7221 in the military test zone was closed

The manufacturing order is executed.

The manufactured AGB01 has been taken offline.

……

The following log has been erased, but the content is clear. But what does this particular record of manufacturing instructions mean?

Looking at Mels's dazed appearance, Ranke said in a deep voice: "Our production line was activated by a mysterious set of code, and an unknown thing was quietly produced with the manufacturing materials of Lucy01, and this unknown thing has escaped at present...... And it killed seven people before it fled, and the movement was loud enough, and the engineers found that the early warning and protection mechanisms of the thinking core had been quietly turned off, so it can be determined that a virtual number series with absolute authority had quietly visited and created all this, although we failed to catch him, but the footprints he left in the matrix array of the thinking core have spread all over the island, so, for the sake of safety, I gave such an order. ”

Meiersi's brows jumped, and he said in a daze: "Is it really a golden birdcage?" ”

"The probability is very high, but just now Miss Han reminded me, if it is really a golden birdcage, I am afraid that all the core subjects of thinking here have been detonated, but this set of virtual sequences is just in a hurry, and it is a bit like getting lost, so it is not sure that it is a golden birdcage for the time being."

Mers nodded, he was more aware of the style of the golden birdcage, that thing that was absolutely hostile to humans would not miss any opportunity to clean up humans, if he really broke through the data defense line here, then I am afraid that the entire Cerberus Dome would be in danger.

"The top priority is to find the thing that escaped, after all, it is lethal, but the current situation is a bit contradictory, the previous order basically destroyed all the core subjects of thinking, and we can't remind the Freedom Wings Guards in time." Rank's decision was made in a hurry, making him ignore the fact that human life is completely inseparable from the intervention of the core of the mind.

At this time, Lin Yan spoke.

"Don't worry, Uncle Rank, I've warned all the cities with my built-in core of independent thinking, believing they're already on the alert."

Ronke glanced at Lin Yan and nodded, with a relieved smile.

"That's much better, I hope it doesn't cause any big trouble."

……

Just as the Rustivan family's private island is in chaos due to the invasion of a mysterious code, a young man is driving his new car in the middle area of Daken City, more than 300 kilometers away.

Compared to the busyness of the upper area, the middle area is much more black and white, and although there are many people working at night, most people choose to rest and play.

A young man like this guy driving the Corina T1 Private Starcatcher is a night rider who loves drag racing, and a night party like him will never exist in the upper area, because the roads are full of people, and there is not so much space for him to unleash the surging horsepower of this Starmaster.

The young man's name is Qi Xuan, and he is a motorcycle party that relies on professional game competitions to survive, although e-sports still has not been able to provide believers with stable income in the current era, but people like Qi Xuan who love games and are used to freedom have no better job.

The Star Rider that he saved up for three years in exchange for is his current "lover", and this lover is taking him all the way to gallop and gallop non-stop. Even the traffic lights were ignored by the excitement he ignored.

But fortunately, this is a middle-level area, and the management is much lax.

After passing through a block under a starry sky, the road ahead is pouring rain, and the artificial weather system has long since taken on a completely different urban atmosphere.

Qi Xuan, who saw the rain curtain from afar, did not slow down, he patted the star rider under him, and whispered: "Look at your play, baby!" With that, he increased his speed again, and drew a dark blue arc of light and rushed into the heavy rain.

The overall body of the Star Rider, which is automatically tuned for rain curtain driving, begins to be lowered, and grip amplification loading is turned on.

The speeding teenager didn't notice that on the road ahead, a rickety figure was crossing the road.

When the excited Qi Xuan finally saw the figure, it was too late......

He slammed into the back, and his slender body flew hundreds of meters away like a leaf in a strong wind under the tremendous force of the impact......

When he saw the figure fall to the ground, there were only two words left in Qi Xuan's mind.

"It's over!"
