"Come on, over here. Madame be careful. Twenty years ago, in the largest international airport in the Federation, the personable Qi Xiang was carefully supporting Chen Si'an and walking forward cautiously. Chen Si'an held up his slightly bulging belly, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

The belly was getting bigger day by day, and Chen Si'an was out of breath after walking half the way to the airport. Above their heads, the huge propaganda screen constantly flashed brilliant advertising pictures, in which a white and small robot image has been active in people's field of vision many times, with the words: Let the entire federation be your "friend".

Qi Xiang looked at the robot image, a hint of sarcasm crossed the corners of his mouth, and he lowered his head and cared about his wife.

"Let's take the automatic lane." He bent down slightly and said softly.

Chen Si'an shook his head in annoyance, carefully supporting his stomach with both hands, and a wry smile on his face. You must know that half a year ago, she was still a beautiful girl who could jump around casually, eat, drink and have fun.

Having a baby, why is it so troublesome.

Everyone is looking at this couple, and now in the Federation, there are fewer and fewer Asians. The Federalists believe that they have taken up the few jobs that are already scarce, and a large number of low-end laborers have been replaced by robots, while data center jobs are more filled by these calm, intelligent Asians. Just walking around the airport, they could hear quite a few federal boos.

But Qi Xiang still had a modest smile on his face, and walked unhurriedly past the people in line one by one, until he walked to the service desk at the end, where the only waiting attendant in the entire airport was bowing down and waiting for them.

Because the plane was going to the capital, today, Qi Xiang was the only passenger.

The other waiting lanes are all computerized check-ins, but only here are the beautiful and gentle flight attendants who are waiting for you. Compared with this scene, in other security lanes, the little white robot constantly bouncing on the screen looks very naïve and ridiculous.

Not to mention that it also claims to be a "friend" of humanity.

"Dr. Qi, the Federation welcomes you." The flight attendant showed her eight neat white teeth and confirmed Qi Xiang and Chen Si'an's wristbands: "This is the plane to Carmel City, I wish you a happy journey." ”

Qi Xiang smiled slightly, glanced back at the Federation people who were waiting in line for the plane, and helped Chen Si'an get on the plane to Carmel City.

This year, Qi Xiang, as a doctor from the highest university in the East, went to Carmel City to do academic guidance. The scientific and technological strength of the East Country has gradually caught up with the Federation, and the endless enthusiasm of the East people is once again infecting the whole world.

Qi Xiang's work is to participate in the design of the federal supercomputer, the autonomous decision-making system of "friends". In other words, it is for the strength of "friends" and contributes to them.

He didn't understand the reason why his research institute asked him to come to the Federation, he was just an ordinary technician, and for him, it was just a different place to play with computers. It's just that the Federation wants him to give up his Eastern nationality and settle in Carmel City, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

But what worries him the most is his wife Chen Si'an's body.

Now that technology allows the use of surrogacy machines, women can get rid of the trouble of childbirth forever. But the stubborn Chen Si'an still chose to give birth naturally, so in the eyes of the federalists, the couple was even more suspected of putting on a show.

But this is Chen Si'an's insistence, that is, Qi Xiang's insistence.

This year, Qi Huan was born in the capital Carmel City.

The baby's cry could not recall Qi Xiang, and on a cold winter day, Chen Si'an held the young Qi Huan alone, quietly waiting for Qi Xiang to come home in a high-tech park in Carmel City. Babies who have just completed the month have a short sleep interval, and often wake Chen Si'an in the middle of the night.

Suddenly, Chen Si'an turned her head, coughed violently a few times, and hurriedly put Qi Huan on the crib and took the medicine prescribed to her by the Federation. Since giving birth to Qi Huan, her health seems to have been bad.

"I'm back." Soon, the sound of Qi Xiang's door closing came from outside the room. Some haggard faces reached into the room, did not turn on the lights in the room, and just quietly looked at the sleeping Qi Huan.

Chen Si'an didn't get up to greet him, just sitting, suppressing the cough in his throat with his fist, and didn't look at each other.

"I came back late today." Chen Si'an said.

"It's busy." Qi Xiang took off his coat. Lying on the bed tiredly, she said something that Chen Si'an couldn't understand, what quantum effects, what neural networks, she didn't understand. She was born in literature, a field that computers have not yet fully occupied, and Chen Si'an, as a writer, is still well-known in Dongguo.

So she didn't understand what Qi Xiang was doing, how could she do it so late.

"How can the Federation do this to you, you are the doctor they hired." After being silent for a while, she finally complained, and gently helped Qi Huan cover the thin blanket with one hand, and the smart air conditioner was adjusting the temperature around Qi Huan, and soon, he fell asleep again.

"Ask you, can you let ...... next time" Chen Si'an turned his head, only to find that Qi Xiang was already asleep on the bed. I didn't take a shower, and the smell on my body was not very good.

She frowned, bit her lower lip, and sat still, as if she had lost her mind, her eyes looking directly at Qi Xiang's face full of scum, he had been in Carmel City for half a year, and he seemed to have lost the heroism he had when he first came. She also didn't understand why Dongguo wanted them to come to the Federation, obviously they were two prestigious people in the country, they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and they were financially free. But no matter how she persuaded her, the honest Qi Xiang always ignored her opinion and insisted on coming to the Federation.

She really didn't understand.

After sitting for a while, she stood up, brought a towel that had been hot a long time ago, wiped Qi Xiang's face, secretly helped him shave, and finally tucked the quilt for him, and then returned to the study alone, coughing in a low voice, writing what she hadn't finished.

It's her job, and it's only late at night that she gets a little time for herself.

There are too many things in her life about her husband, worrying about him, being angry with him, and conceiving a child for him, so she thinks that the rest of her life will belong to him.

But she didn't expect that life was getting more and more lonely day by day, and even her body was protesting for her only remaining dream. Looking at the bloodshot in her palms, Chen Si'an pulled her loose hair, feeling that the night sky outside the window was pressing on her like a cover, and she couldn't breathe.

On the computer, a government-pushed advertisement popped up, with a huge headline and a small white robot, which looked quite funny.

"The Confederation is drafting the Data Act! Let all dangers be out of probability! ”

Countless fireworks exploded over the capital, and Chen Si'an remembered that today was the New Year.

Beginning in 2213 AD, the Federal Parliament debated the draft of the Data Act for several years, after which the pilot of autonomous decision-making by machines was in full swing from the capital outwards. In the same year, not far from the apartment where Chen Si'an lived, the Tius College also welcomed the first batch of new students.

This is the starting point of Qi Huan's life, but unfortunately, they guessed the beginning, but they couldn't guess the end of everything.

The mother's illness is twelve years.

"Drug R&D has a priority?! Who the is this bird thing!! "Carmel City, High-Tech Park, Quantum Computer External Public Strategy Department.

This is the place where Qi Xiang works, the place where he exerts light and heat, and the end of his life.

"Who wrote this code! Drug research and development is ranked under the development of military weapons, and redundant computing power is still used! In this regard, the computing power should also be arranged according to the importance of the sick population! You're crazy!? It's all human life! Qi Xiang pointed to the code on the computer, stood up and yelled at the people in the office. He was one of the directors of this department, but it was clear that the code bypassed him.

No one responded to him, no one looked at him, and everyone in the office shook their heads slightly, as if to laugh at his childishness.

"If you don't write it like that, how can you write it, huh? Dr. Qi. A man suddenly pushed the door in, stepped into the office in leather shoes, and took away all the voices: "You always have to tell the computer what to do and what not to do, if you don't sort the drugs, is it random?" If the big man dies, can you afford it? Dr. Qi, I heard that the sick one is your wife, right? ”

Qi Xiang heard this, slowly calmed down, and didn't speak, just stared at him.

He knows that his every move is under monitoring, he is a person who does data, how can he not know that his data has been leaked a long time ago.

"Your wife's disease is genetically related, and the lesion hurts the brain and heart, and surgery cannot remove it, only the base pairs can be modified, but unfortunately, the federation does not have such technology. The Federation will do its best to save your wife's illness and then ...... you as soon as possible."

"Without medicine, can't I even pass the application for cryonics?!" Hearing this, Qi Xiang picked up a document on the table. Ever since he saw the rules for judging the order of drug development, he had already begun to think about refrigerating Chen Si'an. As long as she can freeze her body, she has time to wait for the development of new drugs.

But as a result, the government sent his application back, with the stamp of the Capital Data Center on it.

Not passed.

At this time, the hand behind the back of the person who came in secretly made a gesture, and several soldiers in charge of security hidden outside the door entered with guns, and before Qi Xiang could react, the man spoke: "Everything has a priority, research and development has a priority, people, of course, there is also a priority." For the entire Federation, the greatest priority is to ensure that the danger of the Federation is excluded from all probabilities. For your wife's illness, the federation will still find a way to arrange it, but this does not mean that Dr. Qi can steal the data of the capital database without permission, even if this part of the server is in our own science and technology area, but sorry, this is a state secret. ”

Hearing this definite sentence, Qi Xiang didn't seem to have any intention of resisting, since he hacked into the capital database, he had already thought that there would be such a result.

But he had to do it, because Chen Si'an had been sick for almost half a year, but he still couldn't find a suitable medicine.

He was in charge of a part of the federal supercomputer, and he knew better how efficient this computer was that it was based entirely on qubits, and he didn't believe that these drugs could not be developed.

Where did all this huge computing power go?

Who are these drugs that are at the top of the priority list? President? Impossible, even if you count all the government officials, he doesn't believe that such a large amount of calculations is needed.

But alas, he knows too many secrets, but he is not capable of guarding them.

"I'm from the East...... You're doing this, it's a diplomatic incident. "Qi Xiang is a little angry, he is not well rested, and now he is being held by two soldiers, and he is powerless to resist.

"Dr. Qi, you're a little forgetful." The man grabbed Qi Xiang's hand, entered his permissions, easily cracked his password, and showed him his passport and nationality.

"You are a federal person, and you act according to the laws of the Federation." The man smiled and said to the soldier, "Take it." ”
