Chapter 303: Winston
Although after the freezing storm passed, Xiaomei had already expected that Qiao Lu and the others would easily take this military base, but she also did not expect that it would be so easy.
Before she could even fire a single shot, all the enemies were destroyed.
"Am I out of step with the times?"
Xiaomei couldn't help but whisper to herself, since she met Qiao Lu, there were too many incredible things that had happened.
She couldn't help but wonder if she had been asleep for nine or ninety years, and felt that the whole world had become strange.
Of course, it's not her fault, after all, it's actually Qiao Lu's side who crossed over, and she is just still in the dark.
After clearing out the remaining intelligent machines, the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force naturally occupied the entire Blackclaw military base.
With the exception of the airport and parking lot, which were initially destroyed by the tornado, most of the facilities remain largely intact (albeit frozen) and can be restarted after restoration.
Especially the intelligent machinery production line, for this kind of perceptual artificial intelligence technology, the wandering earth finally has some understanding.
Bill, a computer expert sent by the Central Academy of Sciences, said to Qiao Lu after cracking the production materials of these smart machines:
"The artificial intelligence technology in this world feels a little strange, according to normal logic, we don't need to make artificial intelligence so human, with almost all human emotions. But for the world, artificial intelligence technology is based on this, and the first generation of intelligent machinery they developed is like this, not gradually developed later. ”
"What the hell is going on?" Qiao Lu couldn't help but ask curiously.
Bill shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't fully understood their code yet, but the fact that AI technology is based on emotion makes me feel very abnormal." As you can tell, Moss is designed with reason in mind, not emotion at all, and then gradually perfects its performance. ”
"Can the first generation of smart machines be so humane?"
This sentence suddenly made Qiao Lu suspicious, the first generation of intelligent machines is so emotional, isn't it putting the cart before the horse for human beings?
How exactly was it invented?
"I don't know about this, and the person who invented the intelligent machine is not here." Bill said with a helpless shrug.
After reporting the incident to Qiao Lu, Bill continued: "There is one more thing, it is about the black shadow that appeared before, she seems to be a member of the black claw, the computer has the information she left, we can continue to follow these clues. ”
Qiao Lu instructed: "Find a way to find her, this hacker knows more things and will be useful to us." ”
After taking care of the affairs of the Black Claw Military Base, Qiao Lu was ready to execute the next step.
He took Xiaomei back to the forward base of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force and asked her:
"Now that we've got this side done, it's time to take you out of Antarctica. Where are you going next? Answering Overwatch's call? ”
Although Mei was still frustrated that she hadn't helped just now, when asked if she wanted to return to Overwatch, she immediately pulled herself together and said:
"Yes, this world is worth fighting for!"
Qiao Lu took the opportunity to ask, "Can I go with you?" There's something I'd like to talk to Overwatch after the reconvention, and maybe we can work together to fight the Second Crisis of the Mind. ”
Xiaomei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded again and again and said, "Of course!" With your help, we will definitely be able to help you! ”
"I really need to talk about it."
After getting Xiaomei's consent, Qiao Lu boarded a Kun fighter jet with her and flew to the location where Overwatch regrouped.
Heading to, monitoring station: Gibraltar.
It is a secret base built in the cliff, and because the Strait of Gibraltar is shared by Britain and Spain, it is the same as the Antarctic ecological monitoring station, with only the Overwatch flag and no other country's flag.
As the Kun fighter approached the hidden Overwatch stronghold, a deep and deep voice came from the communication channel:
"By your name, this is Overwatch's territory."
Hearing this voice, Xiaomei excitedly picked up the communicator and said, "Winston! Is it really you? I'll never see you again! ”
Winston hesitated for a moment, then said excitedly, "Xiaomei!? You've been missing for nine years, and they all say you're dead! ”
"I'm fine, Winston, really ······" Mei sobbed softly and said, "It's just other people, they ······"
Winston hurriedly changed the subject: "Anyway, it's good that you're back." Come on in, I can't wait to meet you! ”
Then a signal light was lit at an airfield on the monitoring station, and Qiao Lu parked the Kun fighter on it as instructed.
Entering the Gibraltar monitoring station, you are greeted by an unbelievable array of high-tech objects, including a space capsule suspended from the ceiling, a spacesuit-like high-tech suit, a Tesla cannon with a unique shape, and the primary target of Jolu's trip, the barrier generator.
However, the most striking thing is the owner of the monitoring station, a gorilla with purple skin and a set of white high-tech armor, who rushed towards Qiao Lu and Xiaomei with his hands and feet excitedly.
It is the scientist who has reconvened Overwatch, Winston, a genetically modified gorilla with advanced intelligence.
"Xiaomei!"
"Winston!"
The two friends who had been reunited for a long time greeted each other happily, and it was not easy to meet again.
"Winston, your blood pressure is rising again." Athena, an artificial intelligence at the monitoring station, dutifully reminded.
Winston said dissatisfiedly, "Athena, can't you just look at the atmosphere?" I'm just happy. ”
After the joy of the reunion was interrupted, it noticed the existence of Qiao Lu on the side, and asked Xiaomei:
"Xiaomei, may I ask who this is?"
Xiaomei replied, "He is my savior, he brought me back from Antarctica." ”
Qiao Lu also stepped forward and said, "Hello, Dr. Winston. ”
Winston shook Qiao Lu's hand suspiciously, but its hand was so big that it covered Qiao Lu's entire fist at once.
"Thank you for saving Xiaomei, although I am a scientist, few people will call me Doctor, just call me Winston."
This gorilla scientist, Winston, is the first Overwatch member Jolu is looking for!
