Chapter 52: Life and Death
Lu Wen was silent.
Jiang Xiaonian was laughing, maybe he was sick.
"Do you know Whitman?"
"He wrote in "Leaves of Grass" that people who shiver because of the cold can best appreciate the warmth of the sun, and those who have experienced the troubles of life know the preciousness of life the most. He smiled and chanted, like an elegant poet.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
Human troubles are very different.
"Some people are worried about wealth and power, some people are worried about fame and fortune, and some people are worried about ......" Jiang Xiaonian suddenly raised his head and looked into Lu Wen's eyes, "Life and death." ”
Lu Wen's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze never dodged.
looked at Jiang Xiaonian quietly.
He felt that Jiang Xiaonian might be a performative personality, and it would be a pity not to be an actor.
"I got the answer I wanted." Jiang Xiaonian retracted his gaze.
He leaned forward slightly, and two silver-white bracelets came into close contact with the tabletop.
Ding-dong.
"Now I'll answer your question."
In the small room, there was only Jiang Xiaonian's voice.
From the beginning to the present, Lu Wen has never spoken.
Jiang Xiaonian leaned sideways, stretched out his right hand and put it on his ear, as if he was ready to listen carefully, but before Lu Wen could speak, he suddenly let out an "oh" again, and suddenly leaned back.
"That's a great first question!"
He applauded, as if to affirm Lu Wen.
The silver bracelet on his hand swayed.
"The body I gave you, or your doppelganger, is completely normal, don't worry about what backdoor I left, some things still have to be principled."
……
On a rural road in the 6th arrondissement.
Two off-road vehicles sped through the muddy village roads and ran into the distant no-man's land.
Lu Wen drove the first car, and some of the more popular music was playing in the car on a loop.
"Old driver, brother!" The young man in the co-pilot shouted excitedly, and the mobile phone in his hand never stopped, sometimes taking selfies, sometimes recording the situation in the car.
The young man is an anchor named Chen Qing.
This time, I'm going to live broadcast on the periphery of no man's land.
Lu Wen replaced the driver who had eaten a bad stomach in the hotel last night.
At first, he was worried that the body of this mass laborer type would be recognized, after all, those laborers in the factory had exactly the same face as him, so he specially dressed up.
But now I find that worrying is unnecessary.
These young people's minds were all on this trip to no man's land.
"In my last life, I always wondered why no one could recognize Superman when he was so famous."
Lu Wen suddenly understood a little now.
Maybe it's called face blindness.
"Brother, slow down, the car behind is the photography team, their makeup artist is motion sick and about to throw up......"
Lu Wen slowed down a bit.
Chen Qing turned his head and began to discuss the plot of this live broadcast with the two young people in the back row.
"Have you brought all the props?"
"All with me!"
"When the time comes, you two put on electronic bracelets and ask the makeup artist to make it more realistic."
Several people spoke loudly about the plot.
Chen Qing gave Lu Wen a sum of money, but Lu Wen said that he was not interested in live broadcasts and would not say anything.
"Hehe, live broadcast in no man's land, encountered an awakened android attack...... We're sure to be on fire this time! ”
More than eighty years ago.
When that war had not yet come.
Young streamers like to explore abandoned houses in the suburbs, and ask people to pretend to be scary creatures to create a terrifying atmosphere, so as to attract attention and increase views.
Now, more than eighty years later.
Wasteland can be seen everywhere, and outside the nine major cities, it is all barren.
Countless awakened androids have fled to these ruined cities.
So the live broadcast has a new trick.
The anchors found that the video of everything being broadcast live in a no-man's land and being attacked by androids had a particularly high number of views and likes and retweets.
So gradually there was a script.
"It's amazing how connected two bodies feel."
When disconnected, the two bodies are separate entities.
After establishing the connection, Lu Wen can see what both bodies are going through at the same time.
He had been thinking about the state in which he had been reborn.
"Did I regenerate a string of data?"
Originally, the body had been scrapped, presumably filled in some sinkhole.
It can be seen that rebirth has nothing to do with the android body.
"The body in the thirteenth district that is communicating with Jiang Xiaonian, the memory chip, the learning chip, and the emotional chip are all using the original body."
"The original functional chip has been replaced."
"The body that is driving in the sixth district, looking at Jiang Xiaonian's meaning, has also replaced the original functional chip, replaced it with an original functional chip of more than two million, and the original data used by the other three chips."
So.
The secret of his own rebirth is in the data of these three chips?
……
District 13.
Jiang Xiaonian was triumphant and started a new round of performances.
"You thought you had won, didn't you? But I still made a copy of your data without knowing it. ”
"Victory is not so easy to come by."
"I can tell you that this cage won't keep me for long, and one day I'll get out and we'll see each other again."
Except for the virtue of being smart, this man is all disadvantages!
Pride, conceit, unscrupulous, failed expression management......
Lu Wen pondered.
When you get out, talk to the person in charge of the caretaker here.
Jiang Xiaonian should be given some special treatment.
"Now I'll answer your second question, Zero."
Jiang Xiaonian paused and snapped his fingers.
There was no need for Lu Wen to ask, he knew exactly what Lu Wen wanted to ask.
"I've only been in contact with it a few times."
"But I can tell you for sure that Zero is a human, not an android, and ...... He shouldn't have lived long. ”
Xia Chuluo also said that there were rumors of Zero decades ago.
In this era, the lifespan of normal people is actually so long, and the rich can live for a few more years with drugs.
Many people will choose to freeze their bodies and wait for the day when the technology is mature.
Over the past few decades, he has studied and dismantled countless androids, and those who have been dismantled have a common characteristic, that is...... It's too human-like. ”
Jiang Xiaonian smiled faintly, looking a little contemptuous.
"But he's a piece of shit, you know? For decades, nothing has been studied. ”
"He wants to carry the soul of a human with a mechanical body and achieve eternal life, but he has nothing to gain, as for why he is eyeing you...... I think you know that in your heart. ”
"And he's very timid, he's always sneaky." Jiang Xiaonian sneered, maybe he was used by Zero once, so he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and his words were sharp.
"In the past few decades, he only dared to secretly study those androids, occasionally causing a few human disappearances, and all of them were androids he controlled."
Lu Wen was a little speechless.
Do you have to come out in real person? If Jiang Xiaonian hadn't appeared in real person, he wouldn't be sitting in this place now.
"But lately, Zero has become impatient......"
