The damn phone rang, I don't know where it was hidden in the quilt, it seemed to have been ringing for a world for so long, and several times, Wright reached out in vain and scratched in the direction of the sound, and found nothing but slimy clothes. The phone was quiet for a few seconds, and then she continued to sing relentlessly, which made Wright have to try to break free from the control of alcohol and sleep, and try to make herself more refreshed.

"Speak." After some hard work, Wright finally grabbed the dream-disturbing metal gadget and used the last bit of strength to say these two words to the phone.

"Dr. Wright," the voice came from his assistant, and Wright prayed inwardly that it wasn't about money...... Rent, salary, loans...... He swore in his heart that he would hang up the phone as soon as the other person said something similar.

Thankfully, no: "I just got a call from a Chinese who is interested in your paper and wants to make an appointment with you." ”

"Papers?" Wright squinted, trying to rummage through his messy head, "Which paper?" ”

"The other party didn't say it, but she left her name, and I have checked the other party's information...... She's rich. ”

The last sentence was like an electric current, which made Wright suddenly become extremely sober, but at the same time he became a little cautious, these days, the speed of going back and forth between hope and disappointment on the matter of money is too frequent, although he knows the ability of his assistant, he still wants to confirm again: "Are you sure she has investment intentions, not just ask?" ”

"I'm sure, doctor, he's a hibernator on the other side," the assistant continued, "and it's only been a month's worth of awakening, and you know that a rich hibernator like her wouldn't take the time to joke." ”

Hehe, a Chinese woman, a hibernator ...... While Wright was brushing his teeth, he was thinking about how he could persuade the other party to invest, and he kept thinking about the message on the phone just now...... He has no experience dealing with female investors, but he believes that it should not be very difficult to convince, or fool, a hibernator with his expertise.

An hour later, Wright arrived at his lab, and the news of the devastation was well known, leaving only an abstract painting of beer bottles, messy pizza chunks, and uncleaned trash cans in front of the once orderly operating table. This reminded him again that the company had been in arrears for three months...... In another half a month, this place will no longer belong to me.

On the desk, there was already a large stack of resignation letters, and he picked up a few of them and looked at them casually - the reason was nothing more than hibernation, not optimistic about the project, and poor treatment...... Wright didn't bother to read them all, so he threw them all in the trash, then turned on his computer and checked the little cash on his account one last time. It was originally intended for him to hibernate, but now ...... Wright picked up the phone and said to his assistant, "Miria, come in." ”

"Go and hire a dozen people online, at least make it look like a company," Wright ordered, "and pass me on that Ms. Joe's information." ”

"The information has been sent to you," Milia, assistant to the technical director, who is also the manager of the administrative and personnel department, and is also a cleaner, finally glanced at her boss and teacher, and reminded her, "But there is no money in the company's account." ”

"I'll transfer in first, you try to get a cheaper one...... Emphasize that we are a national project here," Wright sighed as he opened the information on his computer, "this Joe ...... The young lady looks very young. ”

"It's beautiful." Miria added that she also wanted to say that the gimmick of the national project is no longer very useful, but looking at the teacher's face, it is better to forget it.

"Can you find out how long ago she hibernated? Or did she reveal it? ”

Miria shook her head: "She should have only known about you when she woke up this time, and she was very interested in AI technology. ”

"Ancient people were interested in everything," Wright muttered, "but if she stays a little longer, maybe she won't be so naïve anymore, so I'll ask her to meet tomorrow afternoon, and you can hurry up the recruitment thing, if it really doesn't work, then go and get a few friends to make up the numbers." ”

……

Because Qiao Yiyu mentioned AI technology before, and according to her meaning, AI technology was banned in Qiao Yiyu's era, and the reason for the ban is relatively simple in the textbook: "It is not easy for human beings to learn to get along with their own kind, and the existence of another form of intelligent life will only be a disaster." ”

In Han Le's view, this is no different from perfunctory.

However, in this era, there is no so-called "forbidden technology", in fact, Qiao Yiyu is also very curious about the so-called AI technology, although this technology no longer exists in her era, but it really existed in history, but how did this technology disappear, and how was it banned in the end...... The history of this is vague, and the history books mention the war between humans and AI, but how it all happened and how it ended is not very clear. Now she is very likely to be at the source of history, and the opportunity to get close, understand and even change this technology is a rare opportunity for her who loves history.

Dr. Wright's company is close to the United States on a map, and it takes about half a day to fly. Allen: Their company is really a universal company, and when it comes to flying, they have hundreds of options to choose from - even to meet the requirements of hibernators to enjoy flying fighter jets, as long as you have the money.

When the plane was bumpy, Han Le talked to Qiao Yiyu, or showed off the experience of skydiving: "Have you ever played these extreme sports." ”

Qiao Yiyu smiled: "I'm a lady." ”

Han Le recalled that on the guitar CD he had seen, her appearance with long hair was indeed a lady, but her sassy and heroic appearance in a military uniform was too far away from this word: "If you are a lady, then I can only be regarded as your pet." "Yesterday, Han Le practiced shooting with Qiao Yiyu's gun, and he was used to the recoilless electron gun, but as soon as he fired the gun, his wrist was numb with shock, and he was teased by Qiao Yiyu and Su Pei for a while.

"I miss it very much, bungee jumping, skydiving......" Han Le looked down from the window, the clouds and the earth were white, "When will we play together." Han Le was a little looking forward to seeing the scared expression on Qiao Yiyu's face, although he knew that there was not much hope.

"By the way, speaking of that doctor," Han Le returned to the topic, "why invest in AI technology if it is as dangerous as you say?" ”

"Even if I don't invest, someone will try it sooner or later...... Since we all know that it is dangerous, it is better for us to watch it ourselves than to be discovered by others and let this danger spread," Qiao Yiyu said, and said with some hesitation, "But whether to vote or not, let's go and see it...... His thesis is only a little bit of directionally correct, and it is probably far from the real AI technology. ”

"When in your history, when did AI technology appear?"

"Hundreds of years from now...... Qiao Yiyu is not sure, "but the so-called AI rebellion is just speculation in the historical circles, and many of us suspect that it is just some kind of excuse for human beings to start a war themselves." ”

"Hundreds of years...... Isn't it long? Hibernation is a few years. "Han Le is now more and more accustomed to the time view of the hibernation era.

"Is that doctor famous in history?"

"No," Qiao Yiyu shook his head, "I haven't heard of him, but his paper is theoretically forward-looking, and later generations named the final AI KL series in honor of him." ”

"If I had an AI, everyone would have been called by one name, no wonder they wanted to rebel." Han Le said blindly.

Qiao Yiyu smiled: "Why are you in such good spirits today...... I didn't want to say anything I didn't want to say before. ”

"Hibernation syndrome." Han Le actually wanted to say that he was alone with a beautiful woman, but he didn't have the courage to do so.

It was already night when the plane arrived at its destination, Vancouver used to be a big city, but now, only darkness can be seen on the ground, and when you drive along the road, you can still see the shadows of skyscrapers in the distance - no lights, no noise, you can only hear the rustle of tires in the car, not even a talking driver, to be honest, this seems a little scary, no wonder before leaving, Allen said that big cities are now "ghost towns".

The era of cities is already half a century ago, and the high degree of informatization and convenient transportation, as well as the large amount of free time brought about by the highly developed productive forces, brought about the population from agglomeration to dispersion again - no one likes the inhumane life of the big city without the stimulation of wealth.

However, the whole city is not completely uninhabited, because of the spring-like climate here, in the coastal area, there are many holiday villas and cargo terminals, and Qiao Yiyu's hotel is in this area.

Although there was not a single ghost on the road, the self-driving taxi always maintained a speed, and Han Le did not get sleepy after flying all afternoon, but he yawned for half an hour, and when he stopped at the door of the hotel, Han Le was almost asleep.

"Han Le, it's here." Qiao Yiyu woke him up. When the two of them walked out of the car door, they saw a woman walking towards them with the hotel waiter.

"Miss Joe, we talked on the phone, I'm Miria, Dr. Wright's assistant."

"Oh, hello." Qiao Yiyu said hello, but was a little surprised in his heart - why did he come to pick him up in the middle of the night.

She didn't know how anxious Dr. Wright was now, sitting in front of the computer since dinner, and if Miria hadn't called him, she wouldn't have been able to sleep at all—for fear that when she woke up, this last hope would be shattered like a dream.
