Chapter 2 "Accidental" car accidents
In the evening of July 22.
Everything in the world is running as usual.
After working continuously for 12 hours, Bai Xiaoyi's robotic arm has warmed up to 95 °C, and the temperature of the quantum chip is as high as 105 °C, and Bai Xiaoyi has to take a temporary rest.
Bai Xiaoyi is a game development engineer at Soray Technology. The daily workload is the work of an average game development engineer in the 20s of the 21st century. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.
Looking out of the office window, all kinds of flying cars are like balloons of various colors shuttling in the air, regular and orderly. The dense multi-storey buildings are connected by various interchanges, forming a spider web-like transportation system of fully connected. The tall buildings resemble the pyramids of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, and they are as incredible as they are. At night, looking down from a three- to four-hundred-meter tall building, it is like standing at the mouth of a cliff, and below is an abyss.
"Link addresses for real-time communication." Bai Xiaoyi issued an instruction to Xiaomei, hoping to contact her father in advance, after all, they haven't seen each other for three years, and they usually meet in video. But today is a special day and they should really meet each other.
"Okay, master, please choose your contact." As she spoke, Xiaomei, the robot appearing in the air, made a graceful turn.
"White Palm Heaven." ……
"I'm sorry, the signal has been interrupted, and I can't contact Mr. Bai Zhangtian for the time being." When the bad news was said, Xiaomei, who was wearing uniform, was also depressed. It's a very user-friendly setup indeed.
"Then ......" Before Bai Xiaoyi could express his doubts, he received a new communication message marked in red. Messages marked in red mean extremely important information.
"Dear Mr. Bai, it's a real-time communication from the crew of Menao City, is it connected?" Xiaomei, who flashed electro-fluorescence, asked.
"Crew Combat Police ......" Bai Xiaoyi was even more puzzled.
The city of Munau is a super-modern city with efficient policing and perfect moral laws, and order here is maintained by the efficient crew of the city. The higher the value of the city, the greater the protection of the soldiers in the event of danger, and the higher the value of the city, the more important they are to be protected by the police.
After a pause of three seconds, Bai Xiaoyi connected to the real-time communication from the crew of the police.
"Hello! Dear Mr. Bai Xiaoyi, I am the captain of the crew squad with the number A6-32187 from Menau City. We're sorry, but we have bad news for you. Your father, Mr. Bai Zhangtian, was riding in a flying car numbered C918 at 17:05 this afternoon, and due to the failure of the body itself, it crashed, and Mr. Bai Zhangtian unfortunately passed away. As a family member, please come to the intersection of No. 236 Ningtian Road to claim Mr. Bai Zhangtian's body. "The Captain of the Troopers introduced the events in a very concise and concise manner.
Bai Xiaoyi suddenly felt as if he had encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but he didn't have time to think about it, he quickly got on the express flying car and went straight to Ningtian Road. On the way, a real-time news message automatically pops up on the news hookup on the express flying car.
"I'm Cosmic News reporter Li Wanqing, welcome to Cosmic News, and now I'm at the intersection of No. 236 Ningtian Road in Menao City. At 17:05, Mr. Bai Zhangtian, who was riding in the C918 flying car, crashed due to the failure of the body itself, and unfortunately died. Behind me, is the crash site of the flying car, from the picture we can see that after the flying car crashed and landed, it slid out of 50 meters away at a very fast speed, and quickly caught fire, all the way to the intelligent traffic police 4 people, crashed 36 SR robots, killed 23 citizens, hit and injured 27 citizens, and the losses were extremely heavy. ”
The firefighting robot in the picture is extinguishing the fire, and the sanitary robot is also busy rescuing the wounded.
"This is the first traffic accident in Monau City since the 50s of the 21st century, and due to the bad impact of this accident, many citizens have begun to question the initial commitment of Soray Technology to them, so let's listen to the opinions of the people on the spot."
"Hello, for such a bad traffic accident, do you think Soray Technology is still trustworthy?"
A: "For something like this to happen, we have to raise new questions about Soray Technology......"
Bai Xiaoyi, who was haunted by pain and melancholy, immediately turned off the real-time news.
When Bai Xiaoyi arrived at the scene of the accident, Bai Zhangtian was only a bunch of mechanical parts left. The fire at the site of the accident has been extinguished, but thick black smoke is still emitting. The smell of burnt metal, leather, plastic, flesh and blood filled the air.
Bai Xiaoyi's expression was full of pain. At the same time, Bai Xiaoyi's information window kept sending letters of condolence.
Zhou Qin: Xiao Yi, don't be sad, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, no one can predict this kind of thing, you should also mourn and change.
Aunt Su: Xiao Yi, you have to mourn, people can't be resurrected after death......
Li Bo: Yes, Xiao Yi, after all, no one can predict this kind of thing.
……
The streets of Yongning Road are noisy. Bai Xiaoyi held a pile of broken parts and slowly walked out of the crowd. The dream that came to my mind was the same as last night: the dark red sky, the cliff head, the father in the black cloak, the dark red abyss, the strange words in the dream......
"Everything is unpredictable and unpredictable." When Bai Xiaoyi passed by, people all the way said.
"I don't think so, all accidents come from necessity." An unfamiliar voice came directly in front of Bai Xiaoyi. Bai Xiaoyi immediately raised his head and scanned the other party.
Scan Results:
Name: Caron
ID: Soray's seventh-generation intelligent robot
Number: T919***09
Status: Free Citizen
In the 20~60s of the 21st century, personal privacy was gradually collected and recorded by various businesses, and commercial services were used; Hundreds of hackers have been attacked, and personal data has been sold over and over again. There was a massive exodus of personal data from the government system, the banking system, the federal empire. Against this backdrop, Soray has wisely launched a "Privacy Zero" initiative that imprints personal data on a personal chip, allowing you to know almost all of the basic personal data of anyone on the street by simply scanning them.
"Hmph...... A robot. Bai Xiaoyi smiled bitterly and lowered his head again.
But Caron, who was standing in front of Bai Xiaoyi, said again in a soothing tone: "All accidents come from necessity." Bai Xiaoyi ignored it and walked straight into the caron.
"If you need anything in the future, you can contact me." Caron said in the back as if he was clueless, and sent Bai Xiaoyi a friend application.
Bai Xiaoyi was in no mood to pay attention to Caron, holding a bunch of hot mechanical parts, slowly walked out of the crowd, greeted the sunset, and walked forward lonely.
At the moment, the world is extremely quiet.
