As early as the beginning of the 21st century, a joint research team from Sakurafu, Kyushu Institute of Technology and Osaka University succeeded in creating an extremely dense random molecular network neuromorphic device that can spontaneously generate an electron pulse similar to a neuronal pulse, and has quite good data performance in simulation calculations.
This research aims to explore the possibility of "replicating part of the brain's functions with nanomolecular materials" and "free molecular networks themselves can become neuromorphic artificial intelligence".
However, in the following years, due to the existence of two major scientific and technological bottlenecks, energy and materials, there has been no major breakthrough in related research.
Just like the VR technology that we are very familiar with today, if you really want to trace the earliest conceptual prototype machine, it has to be launched by Nintendo in 1995, but due to its design concept is too avant-garde, the limitations of the technical power of the era at that time, and the power struggle within Nintendo, VB did not even take the "tears of the times", and died violently once it was launched, becoming a blind black history.
The same is true of "smart nanotechnology......
It was not until the end of the 21st century that there was a certain breakthrough in this technology, but the direction of its research and development seems to have deviated.
Of course, this also has to do with the background of the times, when the biggest sponsor of scientific research institutions was the imperial military, and the military was not very interested in scientists' "good for all mankind" gadgets, and they usually only paid for "more practical" things, such as weapons.
It was also in that era that a batch of semi-automated nanoweapons that could be "implanted in batches", "latent in the human body for a long time", and "perceive homogeneous substances and combine" were born.
From bugs, to miniature bombs, to weapon components...... This technology opens up new platforms for espionage activities such as detection, assassination, and smuggling of dangerous goods.
Unfortunately, before the technology could further mature, the empire itself was destroyed.
On March 11, 2102, with the destruction of the symbol of the empire, the "Heavenly Capital", a large number of research materials on intelligent nanotechnology, along with a variety of other high-end technologies monopolized by the "royal family and aristocracy" at that time, were reduced to dust along with the floating city.
After that, more than a century has passed, and until today, the Federation's scientific and technological power in this field has not returned to the level that the empire originally possessed.
However, some organizations outside the federation have achieved considerable results in the research and development of intelligent nanotechnology.
For example, the reverse cross.
Like what...... Honorable.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ryunosuke!" The moment he saw his son, Shinichiro Arai's first reaction was to scold him angrily.
Before the shouts fell, he rushed towards Ryunosuke in three steps and two steps, and raised his arms high.
But that slap ...... After all, it didn't fall behind.
The distance between "Alas......" and his son has made most of Shinichiro Arai's anger gone.
When I see a loved one who has been lost and regained, I feel more joy than anger.
Shinichiro Arai is also an ordinary father, and when Ryunosuke first disappeared, he was as anxious as the other high-ranking federal officials whose children were taken captive; So much so that when Kageori showed up at their meeting and offered them "that deal", he was just like the crowd...... I accepted it as if I was in a hurry.
But the result of this move is: Kageori, who finished talking and was imprisoned in the Nine Prisons, became the internal response to the prison escape; And the high-ranking members of the Federation who accepted the deal of "as long as you can help me find a power source hidden in the ruins of ancient civilizations in South America, I will exchange information about your children", and the expedition sent out was completely wiped out (after that incident, Mao Feng had given up his identity as "Soldier No. 2", so he was already a missing person according to the records).
By the time they came back and found out that it might have been a "kidnapping or assassination of a few core members of the excavation team," the daylilies were cold......
After the deal, the bigwigs were able to get no clues about the missing person, and they fell for the reverse cross, killing one stone with one stone, and hitched a ride on Gimenez and Professor Rodrigo (at least in the eyes of the federal hierarchy, who should be each other's main targets...... It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his soldiers.
Taking a step back, they can not care about the "soldiers", but the "Madame" continues to disappear, and their hearts are still very painful...... Most parents in the world are the same.
Seeing that the days of the second generation X's disappearance are getting longer and longer, and there is no news, many people have given up hope and slowly began to accept and adapt to the assumption that their children have died.
The subsequent fall of the Nine Prisons and the uprising of the rebels also diverted their attention.
Unexpectedly, just when they had begun to forget the pain in their hearts...... On March 5th, the mysterious four-leaf clover cruise ship reappeared, and all the children of the federal high-ranking officials who were trapped on that ship were still alive.
When the rescue force boarded the ship, they were surprised to find ...... All the "guests" on the ship, dressed in the same costumes they wore when they disappeared a few months ago, lay asleep in their respective cabins.
Yes, only the "guests" were found, and none of the attendants brought on board by the guests were found...... Of course, the bigwigs didn't care about the lives of those entourage, they only cared about the safety of their children.
In the end, the results of the "rescue operation" were gratifying: all the missing people who were rescued were unharmed, and after a preliminary examination by the medical personnel, they were not only physically injured or showed signs of starvation, judging by the smell of their hair and bodies...... They even maintain good personal hygiene.
All in all...... It's all right.
However, "it's okay" is the most abnormal and weird.
If the rescue force finds the bodies scattered all over the place on the ship, that would be normal.
But if all the hostages are fine, what is the purpose of this kind of collective kidnapping? The kidnappers took the people away without ransom or harm the hostages, and returned them intact after a few months...... Even the most mentally retarded commander in the Union Army, when he saw this, would inevitably wonder if there would be some physiologically undetectable changes in these people.
For example, being brainwashed, rebelled, played badly, and so on.
This is not something that can be found by a simple physical examination, but must be isolated and only known after a certain period of thorough testing.
However, how could the hostages in this incident go through this process?
They weren't ordinary captured Union soldiers...... Each of their parents is someone on this planet, or at least somewhere on this planet, who can call the wind and rain.
How could these bigwigs allow the children who had finally returned to their side safely to be imprisoned again and subject to the scrutiny of the federal army?
In addition, now that the situation is chaotic, the Federation Army does not have so much energy and manpower to do these messy things; Thereupon...... This incident, which would later be called the "ghost ship", was just overlooked at the time.
The "hostages" who were rescued from the Clover also returned to their parents one after another.
Ryunosuke Arai was one of the first people to see his father; After all, his status is special, and as the son of the Cabinet Shifu, his treatment is also different...... In the process of searching the ship's cabin, the army was told by their superiors that they were searching for Ryunosuke, rescue, and medical ...... All of them are in the highest priority, and once rescued, they must be sent back to Crystal County by the fastest means of transportation as soon as possible.
"Ah, Father, what the hell is going on?" Looking at Shinichiro Arai who was walking towards him angrily, Ryunosuke looked very inexplicable, and he asked a question tremblingly while taking half a step back from the side.
"What's going on?" Shinichiro laughed angrily, "Don't you know what stupid things you've done yourself?" β
"I didn't do anything...... Ryunosuke replied, "I just remember sleeping in my room in the villa, and then I was suddenly woken up, and then I don't know why I was already on a ship, and I ended up in Oak County......"
Shinichiro knew his son, and just by looking at his demeanor, he knew that Ryunosuke was not lying, which couldn't help but make him fall into deep thought.
After a moment of silence, Shinichiro frowned and asked, "Do you know today's date?" β
"Date?" Ryunosuke said, "Uh...... What time is it, fifteen or sixteen......"
"Years and months!" Shinichiro sharply raised the point of his own problem again.
Ryunosuke was stunned for a moment, and after a second replied, "2218...... November. When he said this, he was also observing his father's expression, so after he finished speaking, he immediately saw the problem, "Hmm...... Father, do you ...... Isn't it November now? β
Shinichiro didn't answer him, just kept a straight face, thought for a few more seconds, and then said in a commanding tone: "You go home first (the Arai family naturally has a mansion in Christo City) and go to rest, you can ask the driver or the housekeeper about what happened during this time." For the next few days, you will not be allowed to go out without my permission......" he said, pausing as if thinking of something, and added, "...... Neither are you allowed to meet guests, friends, women...... Neither. β
Ryunosuke waited for two seconds to make sure that his father's words had been explained, and then he answered, "Yes, father-sama." β
In response, seeing his father nodding slightly, he bowed shallowly and turned to leave.
And Shinichiro Arai, looking at the back of his son's departure, showed a very complicated look.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
An hour later, Crystal County, in a park.
Shinichiro Arai, who disguised himself and left the office area of the federal government, came to this rather lively public place.
He rented a small boat on his own, slowly sailed to the middle of a small man-made lake in the park, then turned off the boat's engine and pulled a mobile phone from his jacket pocket in a clear plastic bag.
Di Di Di ...... Toot β Toot β
He used the speed dial function to dial a number.
After a few busy signals, the phone was connected.
"What's the matter? Mr. Arai. On the other side of the phone, a warm, magnetic male voice rang.
"Lord Juezun, down there...... Ask for advice. Despite the suspicion and anger in his heart, Shinichiro Arai still did not dare to make a mistake when he spoke to Juezun.
"Heh......" Juezun smiled, he had obviously guessed what the other party was going to ask, but he still said, "Then please say." β
Shinichiro swallowed his saliva and said with trembling lips, "My son...... Still alive? β
"Didn't you just meet him a while ago?" And Jue Zun replied in a rhetorical tone, "Isn't Ling Gongzi alive?" β
"I know that......" Shinichiro continued, "but ...... That one...... Is it really my son Ryunosuke? β
"Hehe......" Jue Zun smiled, "He looks the same as your son, remembers the same as your son, and has the same feelings for you as your son...... Do you still have any grievances? He paused for half a second, and his tone suddenly brought a chill, "Or do you want to ...... You don't want such a son......"
"No, no! I didn't mean that! Shinichiro was so frightened that he quickly raised his voice, obviously sitting alone on the boat, but at this time he was holding a mobile phone...... Nodding like garlic, "I see!" I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have bothered your ...... because of this kind of thing."
On the other side, Juezun, was silent for a few seconds.
These few seconds, for Shinichiro, are longer than centuries.
"Mr. Arai, you're a smart man." Juezun said, "After seeing 'Ling Gongzi', you immediately guessed that I sent someone to do the four-leaf clover...... This is commendable. He paused, then added, "Just...... Your cleverness is obviously not enough; Otherwise...... You won't call me. β
Shinichiro listened to Juezun's evaluation, his heart had already risen to his throat, and his sad cold sweat had soaked his clothes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's very difficult for me to behave like this...... Should I reward you or punish you? Juezun's sentence is not a question.
Even if it was a question, Shinichiro didn't dare to answer.
"Hmph...... In this case, I will tell you a piece of news that is not a good thing, but it is not a bad thing in light of the current situation. After a while, Juzun seemed to have finished thinking about it, so he continued, "Mr. Arai...... You and your current 'son' are 'the same'. β
This sentence made Shinichiro Arai's whole body froze.
"You don't have to remember 'when' it happened, you can't have that kind of information in your memory." "I can tell you...... The 'you' in the past was not as 'smart' as it is now, just like Ling Gongzi in the past, it was not as good as the current one......" He chuckled again, "Huh...... What do you think? Isn't it a bit of a mixed bag? That's all for today, and the next time you contact me, I hope you don't bother me with boring things. β
