He slowly leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and pondered.

"Star Spirit, I have an idea." He said suddenly.

As he spoke, Graphite sat up and looked at Xing Ling eagerly: "Let's not plant rice for the time being, but go pick up rice first!" ”

"Picking up rice?" Star Spirit's eyebrows twitched inward slightly.

"That's right." Graphite laughed fizzyly, "Do you think, how many scrap copper and rotten iron are there on the earth now?" Let's not talk about the land, I don't know how many ocean shipwrecks there are, right? If we salvage all the shipwrecks in the ocean, do you know how much metal there will be?

Xing Ling's gaze wandered across his face: "And then?" ”

"And then?" Graphite said happily, of course, "Then we can get a lot of metal." ”

He continued to look at him without any reaction when he saw that the star spirit had no reaction, so he had to continue: "Then, we can quickly increase the number of cell bodies, right." Oh, there's another benefit here, we can salvage the treasures of cultural relics on the bottom of the sea by the way, and we will definitely make a big windfall. ”

"Also, I've heard that during World War II, some ships that were transloading gold were sunk by the Germans, and they haven't found that gold yet." Thinking of those legends that have been circulating for a long time, he is inexplicably a little excited.

"In addition, we can be found at any time on land, but in the ocean, even if we convert all the scrap copper and iron in the ocean into nano cells, it is not easy for people to find them, don't you say?" He looked eager and in high spirits.

"Hmm." The Star Spirit nodded thoughtfully.

"So, you're going to summon all the nanocells, and we're going to do it. Moreover, we are short of manpower now, so in addition to you, Xiao Wu's identity should be used, usually running errands, doing chores or something, you can control Xiao Wu with a single thread. Graphite spoke enthusiastically.

"Okay." The Star Spirit smiled softly at him, bowing his head in contemplation.

Graphite suddenly realized that something was wrong, and the star spirit seemed to have something on his mind?

"Did I say something wrong?" He asked cautiously.

"No, you're right."

"Then why are you smiling so weirdly?"

Xingling gently stroked his cheek with his hand, "Am I smiling weirdly?" ”

Graphite stared at her for a while, he always felt that the star spirit in front of him was weird.

As soon as his brain was hot, he didn't stop doing it, he directly connected through his consciousness, and read the inner thoughts of the star spirit himself:

“… He seems to have come to see me as a normal human, but I'm not human after all...... You can read his mind at any time, is it really good to be so direct? … Civilization has gone for thousands of years and began to emphasize respect for the privacy of the individual, and there must be a natural reason for this...... Language and writing are the cornerstones of civilization, and art and imagination are the flowers of civilization, if everything is so straightforward...... Will civilization still be what it is today? Under the straightforward exchange of consciousness, will there still be such beautiful poems as "If life is only as first seen"? …… Xiao Wu, Yelena, and Multithread's identities appeared in front of him at the same time, what would he think of me? …… Wickedness? Monster? Who am I? ……”

Reading this, graphite was electrocuted and communication with her consciousness was interrupted, and his whole body was enveloped in an inexplicable, strange, and indescribable feeling.

Inside the car, the two souls fell into a strange silence together.

"Star Spirit."

Graphite, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and called out, as if he had something great to say.

"Hmm."

Star Spirit bit her lip slightly.

He stared at her, cautious and apprehensive: "I don't know if my understanding is right, but I do, I think...... The reason why man is defined as a human being is because he has a soul. If a person has no soul, it is called the walking dead......"

He paused, and for the first time felt that his language was so scarce and pale. He glanced cautiously at her, the girl with her head bowed, the curve of her head on the side showing a perfection that made his heart palpitate!

He plucked up the courage to continue: "I think that one day in the future, technology will eventually develop to this day: human beings can extend their life by changing their bodies, whether it is biotechnology or a combination of humans and machines. Regardless of how you define it, I suspect that this is likely to be a high probability. …… Well, maybe there will be artificial organs, or metal skeletons, or whatever. ”

He glanced at the girl again, as if he had seen the billions of years she had been silent in the dark, cold void.

His heart seemed to be caught by something at this moment, and the ghost sent God to blurt out:

"We're always together."

The girl kept quietly bowing her head and listening.

The girl read something from his rambling words, the girl has the digital memory of the entire human civilization, and it is not too difficult to understand these, but when she heard this abrupt and incoherent sentence, inexplicably, the girl suddenly felt a tremor from the depths of her soul -

Her lowered eyelids opened slightly, and a strange light suddenly lit up in her star-like eyes, like the dreamy sapphire on the legendary magic scepter, which was suddenly prompted by mysterious magic to shine with a misty brilliance. It was a strange beam of energy that burst out from the core of her whole body caused by the trembling of her soul.

Graphite didn't notice that he was a little flustered by his own fleshy and impulsive words. He began to feel inexplicably annoyed, impulsiveness is the devil, will it be good in the future?!

The girl closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear again.

……

"What are you doing in a daze? Planning to wait here until 3 p.m.? ”

The reanimated star spirit turned his head to see the graphite that was being masterless in the six gods, and said angrily and funny. According to the memory of civilization, men are usually both impulsive and afraid of responsibility, and one of the manifestations of this is the appearance of the man in front of them.

The words of the star spirit made graphite struggle out of its self-entanglement, and smart women generally have this ability to save men.

So, most men will only fall in love with women who he thinks are as smart as he is. For this point alone, those women who only have looks and no brains always don't understand the truth.

"What do you suggest? Or an idea? ”

Graphite, which had calmed down, regained a little humor. Relationships between people need to be lubricated, and humor often works wonders. But to be honest, there are not many people who can master this skill and still have fun, and behind the humor is ink, which must be able to oil and ink.

"Hmm......"

The girl dragged a long note for a long time before saying, "Take me to eat snacks, I want a time-honored store, okay?" In addition, she did not use "I want" or "I want", but used a solicitative expression, although the meaning is the same, but her expression fully satisfies the arrogant vanity of men.

The corners of Graphite's mouth moved and smiled at her, and the finger lightly tapped to activate, and the V8 monster immediately woke up.

The black GLE glows in the sunlight with the unique mirror sheen of metallic paint, and slowly leaves the parking lot of the park and drives away from the software park. When paying through the security post at the door, the security brother's lazy and numb eyes immediately became a little more energetic and cautious, and under the gift of the security guard's eyes, the two drove the SUV coupe back to Huandao Road.

Graphite clicked the accelerator, and the SUV coupe immediately screamed and spread out the four large wheels, speeding away at a sensitive speed that was not captured by the surveillance.

In the vicinity of Xiagang University Town opposite Gulangyu Island, in an old arcade street full of colonial atmosphere.

For the first time, Graphite Belt Xingling tasted the authentic Xiagang time-honored snack, "Satay Noodles".

The noon sun fell directly on the century-old arcade, the outside was the bright soft asphalt pavement that was sunburned, and inside was a row of simple tables and chairs under the arcade, and the two of them were lucky to occupy a separate small table, half of the sunlight just shone on the table, and the two of them sat facing each other.

The girl had a sweet and quiet smile on her face, and between her gentle movements, the steaming heat was bubbling in the oily red and cloudy noodle bowl, and the sunlight passed through the heat and shone on her gentle noodle face, like a phantom of the old days.

After a glance, Graphite smiled slightly and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Xing Ling stopped the chopsticks in her hand and nodded at him with her mouth pursed, her bright eyes and long eyelashes in the light and shadow, which looked very good.

Graphite hurriedly lowered his head to eat the noodles, he felt that this noodles were really delicious, why he hadn't found it before.

……

From the moment Xing Ling decided to eat the first bowl of noodles with heart and reverence, she began her journey towards human beings like a newborn baby, which is a complete set of complex and rigorous energy transformation mechanisms of life, for her, it is just one more way to absorb energy and source, although the effect of chemical energy conversion is very small to her, but it is of great significance.

Just like early humans, from vegetarian diets to meat, to today's diverse food compositions, the range of food choices will continue to expand in the evolution of life.

From a more essential point of view, no matter what type of life it is, the cornerstone of its composition is countless microscopic particles, and looking at the entire universe, it all starts with a singularity!

……

After eating the time-honored brand, the two went to Nanputuo Temple.

Because it was not enough time to meet the agreed three o'clock in the afternoon, I could only walk and stop along the bluestone road of the lotus pond on the periphery of the temple.

The stone square in front of the temple gate, the visitors are not crowded, a large group of pigeons rise and fall there, the pilgrims raise the slippery and bold, but not afraid of people at all, and the tourists live and play together, it looks so discordant.

Graphite also went to the stall to buy a pack of corn bait, smiled and handed it to the star spirit, and gestured to the pigeons.

The girl glanced at him, took the bait with her hand, and smiled knowingly.

In the afternoon sun, in front of the thousand-year-old temple:

She took a few steps forward alone, and then the pigeons began to fly around her, and the girl giggled, grabbed a handful of corn bait, and sprinkled it gently, and suddenly more pigeons were attracted to her, and the flock of pigeons flew and landed to grab food, and from a distance, around her body, it was like black and white flowers suddenly blooming.

……
