Chapter 47: Talking
At this time, on the "protective net" node (3A92, B29), Wang Lin (pseudonym, the following names are pseudonyms) and Ilya Ilyich Kosmosov are having a conscious conversation.
Wang Lin: (The communication of consciousness connection is not limited by language, and the following are all presented in Chinese) I am really convinced, is Sample 003 still completely unusable?
Elijah: 001 and 002 are like this, what can I do? And why are you asking me, just because it was chosen by me? I'm unlucky, you know, but they have to let me choose, and after choosing, it really doesn't work, I'm really sorry for Zhao Xiyue.
Wang Lin: Theoretically, it's the same choice. Of course, if you want to go to Zhao Xiyue, you can also go to Japan, no one will stop you, but who will be the day is another matter.
Elijah: I'll you—you go through the experiment log again, and Sample 003 is even worse than the first two. Are there any flaws in them? Or is it because of something that you are not accustomed to?
Wang Lin: If that's the case, it's bad.
Elijah: yes, that's really bad.
Wang Lin: But theoretically, it probably won't. Think about it, even if you are put in an unfamiliar environment and you feel a little uncomfortable - it can't be very uncomfortable - and then pick it out, all of these operations are in line with the process, you should be able to return to normal, right?
Ilya: I'm sure I'm fine.
Wang Lin: That's right, so it's a problem with the sample, and it shouldn't be that the experimental process is wrong.
Elijah: I wonder if they're not sapient beings. Why should we adopt the assumption that they are intelligent creatures?
Wang Lin: Don't talk about it, we have worked so hard, and it would be hilarious if it turned out that they were not intelligent creatures.
Elijah: It's not just funny, it's just a shame, right? If it turns out that they are not intelligent creatures, so many of our people will be lost in vain - if you look at how many things we have given up and how many people we have lost this time, we may not be able to recover in another 100 years.
Wang Lin: I also don't agree with this way of sacrificing the population, but I voted against it at the beginning.
Elijah: You voted against it? You're interesting, I voted yes.
Wang Lin: So you're still complaining here? Do you oppose yourself?
Elijah: In all fairness, who would have thought things would turn out like this? It's been so long, and they're still at a loss—let alone at a loss, and even the researchers are probably still confused, and they haven't even figured out the most basic questions.
Wang Lin: That's right. But I think it's because they haven't adapted to their new environment yet, and once they're quiet, the rest of the work will be able to go smoothly.
Elijah: It's been so long.
Wang Lin: But they're not us, aren't they? They don't necessarily think it's a long time, and our thinking shouldn't be limited by our own biological foundations.
Elijah: Well, that's right. Wait.
Wang Lin: Anyway, we don't need to do the work of sample 003, so there is no need for us to be in a hurry here.
Elijah: yes- it's just that I found 003 after all, and I can't ignore its situation entirely.
Wang Lin: Of course I can understand that.
Elijah: You understand the head, you don't know what it's like to not know if you're making the right choice. Wang Lin, I want to say another thing, I think it is difficult for you to be infected by other people's emotions.
Wang Lin: Well, it's possible. This may be an individual difference.
Elijah: I'm kind of envious of you - the sample thing is so annoying, if only I didn't have to be infected by their emotions.
Wang Lin: It's probably not a hardware difference, my previous partners also said the same thing about me.
Elijah: I'm still curious about who your previous partner was.
Wang Lin: I ...... You don't have to tell you, do you?
Ilya: Why? I've told you all about my roots.
Wang Lin: You didn't have a partner before, did that mean you told me? Ilya, information symmetry is not such a play, not to mention that if you really want to find out, you can find it anyway, why let me tell you personally?
Ilya: Che, you're really not interesting. How could I be with you in this place.
Wang Lin: Do you know what sex is? And didn't you come here with me?
Elijah: Then I guess who you were with before, you just tell me if it's right. I'll start by guessing one, your old acquaintance, the kind you know very well—is it Evan?
Wang Lin: No.
Elijah: That'...... Is it Sachiko?
Wang Lin: No.
Ilya: Isn't it Sachiko? People still haven't taken a fancy to you, hahahaha. So...... It must be Gao Ran, right?
Wang Lin: What is Gao Ran's guess? I've never met him in my life, okay?
Elijah: People like you can get involved without seeing each other, right?
Wang Lin: Of course not. And I don't have a relationship with someone I can't even meet in person, so what's the point of me finding a partner in that case?
Elijah: Who knows, you'd be willing.
Wang Lin: Am I willing, or do you think I'm willing?
Elijah: Who else, not Evan, not Sachiko, not even Gao Ran...... Could it be Anya, huh?
Wang Lin: Anya is my elder, and how old are they? I'm still having a relationship with her, am I sorry?
Elijah: Oh, I can't guess, so you might as well just say it - I'm begging you, okay? I'm really curious, Wang Lin, Wang Linlin~
Wang Lin: Why don't you continue to pay attention to sample 003......
Ilya: I'm interested in that, but I'm most concerned about who your previous partner is. Give me a hint, is it someone I know?
Wang Lin: Sort of.
Elijah: Is it someone I've met?
Wang Lin: Uh...... It's possible?
Elijah: Oh, is that Zhang Duhai?
Wang Lin: Who is Zhang Duhai?
Elijah: Anya's new partner, they just announced it yesterday, don't you know?
Wang Lin: I don't even know who he is.
Elijah: You're too lonely, and you don't even care about Anya, because she's still your elder. But it's not even Zhang Duhai, who is it? It's too mysterious, isn't it?
Wang Lin: Oh, don't be curious. Now is not the time to focus on the gossip.
Elijah: So why don't you just tell me who your previous partner is?
Wang Lin: Forget it, I'll tell you that, but you are not allowed to laugh.
Elijah: Why should I laugh? - Okay, I promise not to laugh.
Wang Lin: Zhao Xiyue.
Elijah: Hey, why are you scolding me?
Wang Lin: Who scolded you, my previous object was Zhao Xiyue.
Elijah: Huh? Yes...... Oh - hahahaha, you are really Zhao Xiyue, hahahaha! I'm sorry I can't control it, hahahaha......
Wang Lin: You have a smile! Don't run, you come over to me! - You kid just owe the day, I'll call Zhao Xiyue to come to you later......
