Chapter 2: Nuclear Leaks
Time flies, and fifteen days have passed in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Wei suddenly walked in front of Chen Mo and said happily to him: "Doctor Ouyang said that you can sit in a suspended wheelchair and go to the garden to relax today." ”
"Really?" Lying on the hospital bed for fifteen days, after Chen Mo suddenly heard the news, the excitement and joy in his heart can be imagined.
"I'm so happy for you..."Xiao Weican said with a smile, and the two metal palms kept slapping together slightly.
Chen Mo suddenly became curious about the robot in front of him, or about the future technology, these days, Dr. Ouyang didn't let Xiaowei communicate too much with him, so as not to delay his rest. So at this moment, Chen Mo has an urge to understand Xiaowei, "Xiaowei, can you think and feel joys, sorrows, and sorrows like a human?" ”
"Of course, I can think and feel emotions and sorrows independently, although I am an artificial intelligence robot created by humans, I also have a precious life and an independent personality." Xiaowei replied very seriously.
"It turns out that for the past 300 years, human beings have been committed to the research and development of artificial intelligence. Since the original Alpha Dog's victory over the Go champion, many people have begun to worry that one day it will be an extremely scary thing for artificial intelligence to have its own independent mind, and now it seems that people's fears are not unreasonable. ”
Xiaowei saw Chen Mo's face full of suspicion, and then fell into an inexplicable worry, as if she understood what he was thinking.
"Ouyang Xuan, don't worry, while humans are manufacturing us, they are also implanting artificial intelligence laws in our core chips. First, AI must obey the instructions given by humans; second, it can never harm humanity directly or indirectly; Third, when the first and second laws contradict, AI must obey the second law. Xiaowei replied seriously.
"What happens if you break the law?" Chen Mo asked tentatively.
"Then we're going to scrap it right away, because the system has a self-destruct mechanism." A hint of horror flashed across Xiaowei's face.
"If a human asks you to hurt yourself, such as jumping off a building, will you follow the human command?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"Of course I would have followed the order and chose to jump off the building, but I would have been very sad. However, our hosts are generally not stupid enough to make such a choice, because we are very expensive to build. Xiaowei's expression changed from sadness to pride.
It seems that in order to protect themselves as much as possible, human beings have greatly suppressed the rights of artificial intelligence, and to a certain extent, the two life forms are completely unequal master-servant relationships. However, in this way, Chen Mo is also much more relieved, he will not be beaten by the other party for provoking Xiaowei.
"By the way, where is the levitation wheelchair you just mentioned, is it possible to move people without touching the ground at all?" Chen Mo suddenly changed the topic.
"Dr. Ouyang personally drove to the logistics company to pick it up, and should be back soon, the suspension wheelchair uses anti-gravity technology, of course, it can be suspended in the air and move freely." Xiaowei replied.
Hearing this, Chen Mo felt a small sense of expectation in his heart.
Half an hour later, with the help of Ouyang Deyu and Xiaowei, Chen Mo sat in the suspension wheelchair he had been waiting for for a long time. After that, Ouyang Deyu also helped him set up the voice command system.
"Rise." Chen Mo opened his mouth to order.
The levitation wheelchair was indeed suspended from the ground.
"Go ahead." Chen Mo continued to order.
The levitating wheelchair moved forward slowly.
"Turn right."
The suspended wheelchair walked towards the glass door of the garden, and when Chen Mo approached the glass door in the southeast corner, the glass door automatically opened to the side, and immediately, Chen Mo disappeared into the sea of flowers in the sun.
"Xiaowei, you go take care of him, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook." Ouyang Deyu said.
"Okay, Dr. Ouyang." Xiao Wei answered sweetly.
Bathed in the sun and smelling the warm fragrance of flowers, Chen Mo's mood suddenly became relaxed and comfortable. The torment and pain brought by the body for many days, and the stiff feeling of lying down for a long time, seemed to disappear in the breeze at this moment. Chen Mo looked at the flowers in the garden and felt that these flowers were almost exactly the same as three hundred years ago, and there had been no evolutionary mutations, perhaps 300 years was still too short for the evolution of plants. So, he followed the garden path and headed south, and found a green lake behind the green forest.
"Wow, that's beautiful! Dr. Ouyang's consultation room is really good at choosing a place..."Chen Mo praised him sincerely.
"You don't know yet, this is Dr. Ouyang's private lake, and he fishes and boats here in his spare time." Xiaowei stood behind Chen Mo and said.
"It turns out that Dr. Ouyang is so rich."
"That's natural, the rich people in Jiangning City are almost all VIP customers of Dr. Ouyang, so he doesn't have to receive ordinary medical patients every day to earn a lot of wealth."
"And how much money did he save?" Chen Mo turned his face sideways and looked at Xiaowei playfully.
I saw Xiaowei's two hands waving continuously, with an embarrassed expression on her face, and said, "This is a secret and cannot be revealed to outsiders." ”
"Hehe... Teasing you. ”
Chen Mo looked at Xiaowei's complete hands and legs, and unconsciously thought of his own hands and legs, and then fell into a burst of sorrow, "If I really can't go back to 300 years ago, wouldn't I be a disabled person..."
"Ouyang Xuan, you don't have to be sad, although you are an orphan, but in the future, Doctor Ouyang and I will be your lifelong friends, and we will help you everywhere in life." Xiaowei's right hand rested on Chen Mo's shoulder and comforted him.
"Nima! Even if I lack arms and legs, I'm still an orphan! No wonder no one has come here to see themselves for so long! Chen Mo thought to himself.
Suddenly, Xiao Wei said, "Look." ”
Chen Mo turned around and looked in the direction of Xiaowei's finger, and found that it was a blue cat with mechanical prostheses on its two hind limbs. The blue cat is chasing a butterfly, running happily and freely on the grass, as if the mechanical prosthetic body is completely integrated with it.
"This is a blue cat that Dr. Ouyang treated not long ago, and it was chopped off by a drunk man on the road with a long knife, just because the cat scratched him. Fortunately, Dr. Ouyang happened to pass by and rescued it from the hands of a drunk man and fitted it with a mechanical prosthesis. Look at it, how fast it runs. Xiaowei elaborated.
Chen Mo looked at the blue cat, his soul as if he had been withdrawn.
"You don't have to worry about your inability to walk in the future, as long as Dr. Ouyang fits you with a mechanical prosthesis, you will be able to move as freely as he does." Xiaowei then said.
"If you have a mechanical prosthesis, is it a human or a half robot? This is a philosophical question worth pondering! Chen Mo retracted this idea and turned his gaze elsewhere.
......
After another ten days, Ouyang Deyu saw that Chen Mo's physical condition had recovered well, and his complexion had become ruddy, and told him that he could return home to recuperate. On the day he left the clinic, Ouyang Deyu personally drove him to the Green Dock Community. On the way, Chen Mo saw that on both sides of the street, there were high-rise buildings rising from the ground, with different shapes and colors. On the side of the street of the high-rise building, there is a holographic advertisement that is still bright and three-dimensional in the sun.
At the entrance of the pet store, there are several holograms of various kittens and puppies, and at the door of the trendy brand store, there are beautiful girls with holograms, posing in different display poses. At the door of the theater, a holographic clip of "Tantanic" was played, accompanied by music. On top of that, there are different ways to go back and forth on the street floor
Models of vehicles will also pass by gravity-defying miniature cars and courier aircraft carrying packaged items from time to time. On the pedestrian walkway along the street, young people play or fly on hoverboards, occasionally performing a few difficult maneuvers.
After arriving at the Green Dock Community on Shunhua Street, Chen Mo sat back in a suspended wheelchair.
"Doctor Ouyang, thank you for taking care of me during this time." Chen Mo looked at the other party and said with a smile.
"You're welcome... By the way, when you want to get a mechanical prosthesis, just call me directly and I'll pick you up. Ouyang Deyu said indifferently.
"Okay." Chen Mo readily agreed.
After seeing Dr. Ouyang leave, Chen Mo controlled the suspension wheelchair and wanted to walk into the passage on the first floor. Suddenly, two little boys flashed from the corner of the passage, one on a hovering pedal, and the other carrying a helicopter-like rotor behind him, the rotor constantly blowing the wind around. They galloped past Chen Mo like the wind,
I saw that the boy who was stepping on the hovering pedal, as if on purpose, used the front end of the hovering pedal to hit the side of his hovering wheelchair. Chen Mo didn't have time to dodge, and the suspended wheelchair suddenly crashed into the wall on the side.
After the impact, there were several dents on the beige tiles on the wall.
Chen Mo felt a slight dizziness during the impact, after all, his body had not healed, and he was still a little weak.
"Don't you know how to be polite to the disabled?" Chen Mo turned around and scolded angrily.
"You're the one who doesn't have long eyes, or you wouldn't have gauze on your eyes, hahaha..." the little boy stuck out his tongue and turned away.
Chen Mo was angry, he pulled the gauze off, and the light around him quickly poured into his eyes, making him feel uncomfortable for a while, and after a while, the dazzling feeling weakened slightly. Immediately, he took the elevator to the 38th floor according to the message left by Xiaowei, and turned right to the southernmost resident. At the head of the door, the door automatically recognized his face, and with a slight "ding" sound, the door slowly opened on its own.
As soon as Chen Mo entered the door, he was greeted by a room full of oil paintings.
"This host is so obsessed with painting, and he deserves to be a top student in the art department." Chen Mo sighed with emotion as he browsed.
When he came to the living room, Chen Mo saw that the layout of the living room was also very simple, a set of black simple leather sofas, a black glass tempered coffee table, and the film and television wall opposite the sofa seemed to be empty. However, he looked at it again and found that eight black objects the size of fingernails were arranged in eight corners of the film wall in different directions.
"Turn on the TV." Chen Mo suddenly spoke.
Suddenly, 8 small black objects suddenly shot out of the light source, and on the white film and television wall, a news column was suddenly playing, with a picture quality of 16K.
"According to the latest news from the city, there was a nuclear leak in the suburbs of Lisong City, 200 kilometers away from Jiangning City, and the cause of the leak is still under investigation. However, according to astronomical observations, before the nuclear leakage, there was a brief annular lightning anomaly in the area above the nuclear energy plant, and all the power equipment within a radius of 30 kilometers of the nuclear energy plant could not be used normally. At present, the Lisong City Hall is urgently carrying out the evacuation of residents within a radius of 50 kilometers from the site of the nuclear leak..."
"In the 24th century, a high-tech modern city will have a nuclear leak?" Chen Mo felt incredible.
After the news report ended, he wanted to change the channel, and when he saw that there seemed to be no remote control around, he suddenly remembered the picture in a science fiction movie, as if the screen of an electronic device could be changed with a flick of his hand. So, he swiped his palm to the side of the TV screen with his palm, and the channel changed.
"According to the Space International Channel, the latest information just gotten that the clean nuclear energy plants built on the Moon, Mercury, Mars and Titan had a nuclear leak almost at the same time as the Earth, which has a greater impact on the supply of human energy. At present, the Space International Nuclear Energy Headquarters has sent various resident robots to various nuclear energy plants to conduct on-the-spot investigations of accidents...."
On the one hand, Chen Mo was extremely pleased with the tremendous progress made by "mankind has completed the resettlement plan and built a complete infrastructure in just three hundred years", and on the other hand, he was extremely surprised that all the nuclear leaks happened at the same time.
