Chapter 12: Parting
Mong-hyun returned to his mentor's room again, and this time instead of sitting in his place, he sat in his own mentor's place.
This situation is just like what Yao often did when the tutor was not there, and Yao often said in a reciting words, the position of the mentor is different, and he can see more things. At that time, Yao showed as if he had really seen something extraordinary.
Mengxian never believed this, and although Yao acted seriously, he thought it was just Yao joking, and deceived him into trying to sit in the guru position as a way.
Mengxian sat there for a long time, and sure enough, as he had guessed, there was no difference except for the open space facing the courtyard.
Just now, Dr. Gyeongdo didn't get any useful information from Mengxian and left very angrily, and Mengxian was quickly sent back to the world of Kuafu, and although the surrounding environment had become familiar calm and peaceful, it had changed to a different scene in his eyes. He could already feel in his heart what the outcome would be, but he was not afraid at all now, after experiencing the gravitational wind and life and death, the word return was no longer feared by him.
Now Mengxian's heart is empty, just like the hall at this time, the hall here has long since changed its previous appearance, and now even the mentor has left, even the Yao who had some strange behavior when he met him last time turned out to be just an intelligent program left by the real Yao to cover people's ears and eyes, and at this time it has long been isolated by the system, waiting for it only to be disassembled and deciphered to find any available clues.
And even if you find it, what's the use? The man is gone, and the Quafu still has its own mission, and it is impossible to pursue it.
Yao will be separated from himself forever from now on, there is no possibility of meeting, the fate of the two people in the universe can be said to end here, and even the remaining matter in the body may not have the opportunity to meet in the future.
Mengxian closed his eyes, and all his thoughts savored this special parting feeling.
Mengxian's inherited genes come from a very small number of the best people in the earth's 19.9 billion population, in fact, in the earth's environment, Mengxian is undoubtedly the top genius in people's mouths, he has a very high IQ, nervous system and physical fitness are also very good, these characteristics have made him able to complete the knowledge learning that ordinary people can complete in a lifetime at the age of sixteen, and through less than four years of systematic training, he can be qualified for the work of most of the positions on the Kuafu.
Yao is different, he seems to have taken a completely different path of genius, he was stupid and stupid before the age of fifteen, he only knew how to simply receive knowledge from the outside world, and could not express anything, so that everyone could not study his actual situation clearly.
After the age of fifteen, his brain was suddenly activated invisibly, and in a few short weeks, he comprehended all the content he had received, and while continuing to study in the future, he began a different kind of whimsical path with a lot of rich wisdom.
Of all of them, it seems that only Mong-hyun can put up with his whimsical thoughts, and Mong-hyun has always thought that it is the power of blood relatives, and the bloodline connects their minds to some extent. But this time, Yao's thoughts Mengxian couldn't figure out at all, why did Yao do this?
Defected!
A word that had never appeared again in the history of Kuafu, and which Monghyun had never even imagined, happened to him like this, and he became a facilitator of this defection.
Up to now, Yao's entire plan has been clearly sorted out, borrowing Mengxian's motion sickness, predicting the gravitational wind, and making a detailed plan in a short time, first stealing the gravitational sail technology of the scientific research department, through the initiative of laying out the early warning circle plan, and borrowing the advantages of his own mechanical maintenance department, the transformed drone and some equipment, transferred out of the spaceship, through the plug-in backdoor of his own design, changed the detection data of the Tianyan system, and finally defected with the help of the chaos and power of the gravitational wind.
The plan was rigorous and complete, and it made reasonable use of the opportunity of the short-term chaos inside and outside the kuafu caused by the gravitational wind, and achieved the goal calmly.
But what's the point? In Mengxian's view, returning to Earth has become a dream, not only relying on a small unmanned engineering aircraft, but also with the help of the entire Kuafu It is difficult to complete the plan to return.
"Dream ...... Xian ......" Qingyu suddenly said hurriedly, but as if it was a signal interference during the call, her words seemed to be intermittent, "middle finger...... Control Hub...... Not...... By permission...... However, it is being forcibly ...... Retrieve my core database. ”
It's time to come or come, and Mengxian wasn't too surprised to hear the news, since the last time he talked to Dr. Gyeongdu, he found a problem, and he has been waiting for this moment to come.
The Central Command Center is the abbreviation of the Central Command and Control Center, which is the core control system of the Qua Father, with the highest priority, and generally only accepts orders directly authorized by the Commander-in-Chief of the fleet, and will be authorized to other high-ranking personnel in the predetermined succession order under special circumstances in wartime.
It's not wartime, and at this time, only the commander-in-chief can authorize orders, and there is a big gap between the ranks of Mengxian and the commander-in-chief, and now only Dr. Gyeongdo will use this kind of command.
According to the Basic Law of the Kuafu, in order to protect the rights of the crew, personal data is strictly protected, and only in the event of an incident that threatens the safety of the spacecraft, after a reasonable process of review, can it be directly ordered to be retrieved by the commander-in-chief.
"Fully release the database permissions and accept the calls alleged."
Mengxian knew that at this time, any cover-up was irreparable, Qingyu's core program and all the data were stored in the data center in the center of the spaceship, and even if the effect of erasing the data was limited. The most important thing is that if the data is forcibly deleted, Qingyu will be identified by the central control system as resisting the supreme order for no reason, seriously threatening the security of the Kuafu system, and at extreme times, Qingyu will be blacklisted, then isolated, or even formatted.
Qingyu is her most important partner, although she is only a computer simulation personality, but after decades of coexistence, in Mengxian's subconscious, she has been regarded as a human without a body, but with an independent personality.
"Not yet!" Qing Yu made an amazing move at this time, she actually refused Mengxian's order directly, which was an impossible situation, especially under the supreme order of the Central Accusation Center. "The existing data is very unfavorable to you, if Yao does not appear, in order to give an account to the upper echelons, you will not be able to get rid of the charge of conspiracy."
Qingyu obviously knew about the conversation between herself and Dr. Qingdu, how was this possible? At that time, Qingyu was obviously not authorized to follow him.
"Qingyu...... How do you know? Mengxian was surprised, after Yao left, it seemed that many things had deviated from the original direction, so he could only passively accept it for a while.
"Xiaoxue left me some things when she left, secretly reminding me to take care of you."
Yao's plan was really detailed, and he prepared himself in advance.
But Qingyu ......, Mengxian can't accept this plan.
"Mengxian ......"
Qing Yu's eyes began to change strangely when he looked at Meng Xian, but before Meng Xian could carefully confirm, Qing Yu's situation became more unstable.
Qingyu also found out that she was in a bad situation, and she spoke even faster, not giving Mengxian a chance to continue asking questions.
"Listen to me carefully, I have secretly modified all the data on the hard drive, you don't need any justification in the future, now all the responsibility will be directed to Yao, which is also what Yao wants."
"However, there is still some evidence in my logic system that cannot be directly eliminated, I originally wanted to slowly separate, modify, and merge again, but now time does not allow it, so I will directly forcibly separate this part of the logic system, and carry out low-level and multiple data overwrites to ensure that it will not be recovered in the future."
This scene made Mengxian feel a strong sense of goodbye, and Qingyu would leave him from now on, never to see each other again. He probably knows the composition of intelligent systems, forcibly separating their own logical systems, just like humans performing brain cutting surgery, even if there is a complete plan, he does not know what will happen in the end.
"Qingyu...... Don't ......," he suddenly shouted, and quickly reached over his hand, waving it into the air without accident.
"I'm sorry, Mengxian, in this situation, this is the only way to ensure your safety, it seems...... We're going to be apart for a while......"
Qingyu gently put her hand on the back of Mengxian's hand pressed on the ground, she looked at Mengxian carefully, the expression in her eyes was very peculiar, with the attachment of human beings to this world when they were dying, and the most sincere emotions for the people in front of them.
At this moment, Mengxian completely regarded Qingyu as a real human in his mind, and the image that had always been a little empty by his side in his memories turned out to be a human being with flesh and blood and rich emotional expressions.
Qing Yu's hand became more and more blurred on the back of Mengxian's hand, but Mengxian felt more and more real, the temperature in Qingyu's palm actually spread to the back of his hand, and the warm and soft feeling made people feel very relieved.
"Trust me, we'll see you again!" Qingyu looked at the person opposite gently, and said firmly, just like stating an undeniable fact.
"I believe that I will definitely see you again......" Mengxian slowly turned his hand over, put his palm against Qingyu's palm, and put his other hand on the back of Qingyu's hand, seriously, it was like stating an unchangeable fact.
"Definitely!"
Mengxian chose to believe in Qingyu, he knew that he couldn't stop this from happening, even if it was goodbye, he had to say goodbye to his closest companion in the first half of his life with a smile.
Mengxian lowered his head and silently looked at the hand he was holding with both hands, and when Qingyu stretched out his other hand, that hand suddenly turned into nothingness in mid-air.
At this time, Mengxian felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he slowly closed his eyes, as if he could still feel the temperature of Qingyu's hand on his hand, and he could also feel Qingyu gently applying his other hand to his hand.
The green rain is still there!
Mengxian closed his eyes and thought silently.
After a long time, his hands began to be tired and numb, and he lifted it up hard, but he had no choice but to put it down. He didn't want to open his eyes, he didn't want to see everything in front of him, he just meditated, and he didn't want to think about anything in his heart.
……
It seems that Yao has caused a big deal this time, and suddenly a thought rushed to Mengxian's mind, and his mood actually wanted to laugh, this feeling was very strong, so that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and his mouth cracked.
He lowered his head and began to let the septum continue to push his lungs twitch.
Hum...... Hehe...... Scold...... Ha ha...... Ha ha
Yao is still a troublemaker, Mengxian raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, thinking of what Yao had done in the preparatory class before, many mentors, including the first tutor, were helpless against him, every time the students temporarily forgot about the mission, competition, and return to ......, everyone was immersed in the joy of a small rebellion, and couldn't extricate themselves.
After 15 years of silence, 10 years of outburst, and 5 years of silence, it turns out that Yao is in order to cause more trouble for everyone after all these years of silence...... Yao...... Do you really want to help the Qua Father get through this?
How is that possible? I've been deceived by you!
After a long time, Mengxian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up silently, the green rain beside him had disappeared, leaving no trace, he knew that his time was almost up, and he should return to his post.
Mengxian walked to the courtyard in front of the door and stopped, he turned his head to look at this familiar building, and the hall full of memories, his heart was surprisingly calm, a lot has happened in the past few days,
He suddenly found that the snail in front of the door had left the small and comfortable environment, and returned to the edge of the shadows, at this time it was moving cautiously, in front of its soft body, two slender tentacles stretched and contracted, and continued to explore the road ahead, after some careful exploration, it would pull the huge shell forward a little bit, and then repeat the same process.
Mengxian looked up at the scorching ground in front of the shadows, the oasis in the distance suddenly shrank smaller and smaller in his eyes, and soon became unreachable, the scene in front of him made his brain slightly stuffy, he blinked vigorously, returned his gaze to normal, sighed softly, and walked out along the path leading to the outside of the courtyard without looking back.
……
Drip...... Drip...... Drip......
Drip...... Drip...... Drip......
Click...... Click...... Burst...... ......
As the slightly shrill siren sounded, the door in front of Mengxian to the outside world slowly opened in a series of complicated sounds.
Probably because it was closed for too long, the door opened with occasional pauses and a continuous rattle, which combined to give the illusion that the door would jam at any moment.
When the door opened, the air from the upper part passed over Mengxian's head, causing a strange noise, and at the same moment, the lower air rushed into the room from outside the door, and then hit the sealed suit of Mengxian's legs, making him feel that this force had disrupted the balance of his body.
But this process only lasted for a short time, and when the two air currents completed a few simple cycles, the internal and external air currents completely mixed together and filled Mengxian's small room.
At this time, Mengxian suddenly shivered, he obviously felt a slight coolness on his body, I don't know if it was due to the lack of use and maintenance for a long time, and the problem of poor operation of the heat assist system in the sealing suit.
This cool air quickly spread throughout his body, and Mengxian's body, who was wearing a sealed gear, began to tremble involuntarily, and he felt that his heart began to beat faster than just now, accelerating the transfer of heat, but the effect was not very obvious.
Although he has been nervous and has not rested since the moment he received the notice, Mengxian's spirit is indeed not tired at all.
It's been a long time, Mengxian himself can't remember clearly, this closed hatch has rarely been opened, and after a long time, he will forget about its existence, because he has become completely accustomed to the virtual online community, and the door to the outside world is in the middle of the room on the set of suspended devices.
Occasionally, Mengxian's gaze would inadvertently stay there, and he would stare at the door for a long time, and there were clear traces of that area and other places, which could not help but make him have infinite reverie.
As soon as the door opened, Mengxian couldn't help but start looking out through the gap, but his whole body did try to resist the temptation, and he froze in place, trying his best to control himself so as not to rush to the door.
Finally, the door smoothly slid into place and opened completely, and its size could allow a person to pass reluctantly, which was needed by the design of the spacecraft, after all, in space navigation, the smaller the entrance, the safer the crew.
Without a moment's delay, three unfamiliar figures shone through the hatch in turn, standing very close in front of Mengxian. Their presence instantly cramped the slightly cramped room, and the entire space in front of Monghyun seemed to be filled with people.
Mengxian subconsciously took two steps back, and when he was about to take a third step back, he found that he had already pasted on the wall behind him, he stopped, moved half a step forward, and began to carefully look at the person in front of him.
He was also a little disappointed that although the three people who came in were also dressed in light sealed suits, the fully enclosed masks only had some semi-transparent material in the eye area, which was vague and made it impossible to see the situation inside, and the blue sealed suits on their bodies were light and dexterous, and they were completely different from Mengxian's body in terms of color and style.
"Hello, Wang Mengxian." The person standing at the front waited for his movements to stop completely before he said to him, "I am Xue Bin, the captain of the Kuafu Guard, according to the supreme order of the Fleet General Headquarters, there are some things that require your assistance in the investigation, please cooperate and follow us away." ”
The other party's language is serious and blunt, compared to some AI-generated languages that have no feelings. Mengxian didn't care about the other party's words, and was a little stunned to carefully discern the blurred eyes through the other party's mask.
The person who came was not affected by his actions, but only paused, and after seeing Mengxian's reaction clearly, he simply said to the two entourage, "Take it away!" ”
Two people behind him stepped forward, one standing sideways in front of him, and the other standing on his left, patting him on the shoulder with no light force, "Say it, let's go." ”
"Yes...... Mengxian nodded and responded softly, not knowing if the other party could see clearly through his mask, and then walked out of his room with his legs raised.
The hallway outside hadn't changed much from when he had come in years ago, narrow and low, and the four walls looked even more dilapidated than before due to the lack of necessary maintenance. It turned out that the white decorative plate had been damaged in many places, and the yellowed damaged edge leaked out of the inner alloy plate with a gray-cyan coating inside, and there were many traces of later repair at the complex joints and embedded rivet joints.
I don't know how long ago, the supply materials of the Kuafu began to be scarce, in order to reduce the load on the life support system, reduce the consumption of various scarce materials, except for the necessary facilities in the crew cabin, the maintenance of other areas has been reduced to a minimum, and even the gas in it is only filled to maintain air pressure, and it is not suitable for human survival of non-lethal exhaust gases.
The dilapidated scene in front of him couldn't help but make Mengxian worry about the future of Kuafu.
How long can he hold on, he has such a question in his heart, such a question will never appear before, the real and beautiful world of Kuafu and those indoctrination of a bright future make him constantly ignore every detail that has been exposed before.
The sight in front of him and Yao's defection refreshed Mengxian's almost solidified thoughts, and Mengxian's mind began to re-examine Kuafu's plan.
Closed messages and brainwashing indoctrination are the best way to do the whole project of Kuafu, and such a pattern gives people a strong confidence that even in the moment before death, people will work towards their goals, and every kilometer in the endless and mysterious universe is likely to work miracles.
For individuals, the right to know, it can be said that not to be fooled by some form is the most deserving respect for thinking individuals, and individuals can have the right to choose freely.
Whether this is good or bad, Mengxian himself can't say,
In order to achieve the ultimate goal, the first thing is to stabilize the hearts of the crew and create a beautiful phenomenon for them. In addition to giving everyone a noble mission from the perspective of the highest interests of mankind and restraining the human mind morally, it is also necessary to give them a comfortable environment where they have a reason to live on a ship, and the best way is to give them the social relationships that virtual family, love, and friendship are the most needed by human beings.
The online community is the foundation of all this, where everything becomes "within reach", different from strings of cold words and empty words, which satisfy most of the human senses except for touch.
Where there are people, there will be contradictions, fights, in the earth society, these can be "digested" by the huge society, and there will not be many adverse consequences, but for the Kuafu, after all, the crew is too small, and the space and resources are also very limited, in the long space process, it can not withstand any consumption, even if it is small, it will increase the danger of the subsequent journey.
The application of artificial intelligence solves all the problems in the online community, where anyone is the center of a region, and everything in the community serves a specific individual. According to the characteristics of human thoughts, the central server constantly influences and controls the individual thoughts in it through the virtual environment, so that he has enough motivation to provide guarantee for the operation of the Kuafu.
Here, the individual will not be completely given a comfortable environment, and there will be a moderate amount of negative emotions such as troubles and sorrows, so that the individual can have the interest in life that ordinary people should have.
And all of them, the most important point is to make people think that all this is real, human beings have been antipathic to artificial intelligence since they entered the Internet talk, and the consciousness of "self-awareness" is unique to human beings on the earth, and it is also a unique sign of human beings, and everything else cannot be compared with human beings.
Human beings feel unreal about individuals outside of themselves, and the sense of real existence is the meaning and foundation of human existence.
Virtual online communities can only make the individuals in them meaningful if real human users exist.
