There is a saying in the ancient saying, 'Before you see the person, hear the voice first' Wang Gan had already heard her voice coming downstairs before he saw Lele's stronghold, which made Wang Gan inevitably have some expectations.

Looking up along the staircase, a pair of long legs covered with white silk appeared in Wang Gan's field of vision, followed by a bright red coat with a golden hanging string wrapped around his wrist.

Moving up his gaze, Wang Qian finally looked at another girl coming out of the staircase with a hint of novelty and nervousness on his face.

Wang Qian, this is the reason for the design of the staircase.

Seeing Lele coming from the stairs with his stronghold, Wang Qian was a little amused and a little expectant. He had never allowed Lele to change into a human form, and this time she chose a stronghold by herself. Judging from the current image, Lele's choice is not bad.

The so-called stronghold is actually the body of the artificial intelligence moving in reality. This kind of body manufacturing is a very old technology, which existed in the late Second Republic.

With today's technology, AI can move freely in the real world without a body at all, and the stronghold has changed from an important medium in the early days to a gadget today.

Even the word "stronghold" is quite interesting, because it was not called that at the beginning, it was still called "artificial prosthesis" and was used for human medical treatment.

It was also used in artificial intelligence after the invention of mind-shifting tools in the Third Republic.

But at the time, some people thought that the term 'artificial prosthesis' would give the impression that artificial intelligence was turning into humans, which would cause social panic, so something had to change.

But then no one paid attention to it, and even if there were rumors such as 'this is the stronghold of artificial intelligence occupying humanity', it still didn't make any waves, and even became a joke, and the word stronghold was formed at that time.

During the Third Republic, the fear of artificial intelligence was much lesser than in the Second Republic.

"How does it feel?" Wang Qian asked.

"It's a little weird, but it feels good." The girl Lele laughed.

"It's weird to use a stronghold in real life, it's a little more real than in a virtual space, but it's also a little more alienating.

Judging from the current feeling, the realism of the base is not as realistic as the simulation of the human body in the virtual space. Lele continued to speak.

In fact, Lele has already experienced the human form in the virtual space, but this is the first time in reality.

"According to the reactions of many elves, the feeling of the stronghold is indeed not as good as the virtual space or their own body, some people say that it is a technical problem, but some people think that it is just a psychological effect." Wang Qian said along with Lele's words.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Wang Qian continued to ask, "Did the last elf who used the stronghold leave anything behind?" ”

“… Well, the last AI was anonymous, but he just said that the home cooking in this store was good, and he left a message three months ago. Lele said.

The colony is public, so it will leave a message of the previous one or several people, and some users will play this message as if it were a game, while others will not.

Wang Qian looked at the five dishes on the table, which were indeed common home-cooked dishes, so he tasted them with chopsticks.

After taking a bite, Wang Gan praised: "It is indeed different from the food made by the housekeeping machine, and it is more delicious." ”

This excellent craftsmanship allowed Wang Qian and Lele to have a very good lunch experience, and after the two finished eating, they rested for a while, and then said goodbye to the girl's shopkeeper. So Lele returned the stronghold.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Wang Qian nodded.

"Come often when you have time." The girl looks up and realizes the separation from the book and says goodbye politely.

After lunchtime, Wang Qian took Lele and walked to a nearby park.

"That brother's cooking is delicious." On the way, Lele said to Wang Gan.

"Hey, is it a man? I thought it was a woman. If I talk to him a little more, I guess I'll get a hint. Wang Qian quickly realized that Lele was talking about Fangcai's 'girl' store.

"No, the shopkeeper's name is True Spirit. More than 10 years ago, he changed his appearance from a male to a female. Lele said.

"He's the true spirit, and I've read one of his papers before, which is about 'phase jumps'. I didn't expect him to be still researching now. Has he posted any social updates lately? Wang Qian was a little emotional.

"I don't know, maybe not everyone can see it. But I saw a passage where he said before he made the morphological change:

I think we're about to tame the jump. But until then, I can't make it everything to me. Lele read.

These words reminded Wang Qian of the conversation between his parents and him that night. He also pondered how he should approach science.

However, it was naturally useless to dwell on this kind of thing, and Wang Qian quickly put it aside.

Holding Lele, Wang Qian soon arrived at the park, the climate in the park was hotter than outside, and the flowers and plants that had not yet opened outside were open.

After a walk around the park, it was already evening, but unfortunately I didn't meet anyone I knew.

After sitting in the park for a while, and using the housekeeping machine in the park to make some meals to deal with his stomach, Wang Qian thought of another place where he could take Lele to play.

"Lele, let's go to the deep sea and have a look." Wang Qian said to Lele.

"Ahh How to go where. I don't like that. Lele lowered his head and said.

"But where is it really supposed to be the original source of the elves, don't you want to see it? You don't need to go too deep, just look at it from afar. Wang Qian persuaded him.

"Have you ever been to the deep sea before?" Lele asked.

"Nope. What's the point of me going alone. ”

"It's strange, to be reasonable, although there is a physical location in the deep sea, it is more of a logical location, and it doesn't make a difference whether I go there or not."

"It's a big difference, I wouldn't have been in the deep sea for long without you. If you want to go further, you need Lele's help. ”

"I did it for a long time, so I was asking for help. But I don't want to go, what's no good. ”

"How about hand-crafting a seven-layer changing twenty-sided dice."

“…… Well, help you this time. ”

After the two talked, they returned home, lay on the bed, and prepared to go to the deep sea.

The deep sea was the first compatible area for the docking of virtual space and cyberspace, and later artificial intelligence completed the sorting of virtual space and completely eliminated bugs. It's the edge of the virtual space, and it's known as a 'more real place'.

Many people say that the deep sea can take care of the deepest part of a person's heart.

Later, with the implementation of the virtual space cornerstone system, the physical location of the deep sea shifted from the early edge area to the virtual space boundary area with the self-growing structure as the carrier.

"Target Deep Sea, go!" With Wang Gan's slogan, Wang Gan and Lele's consciousness was teleported to the edge of the virtual space.

At this time, the marginal area was also visualized, and in Wang Gan's view, Lele at this time turned into a human form again, standing on a gray beach with him, and there were silent waves surging indiscriminately in the distance, not stirring up the waves and quickly disappearing.

"How does it feel? ......" Wang Qian told Lele about the scene he saw.

"I don't see the same as you. In my eyes, I've become a stream of data, and your influence is blurred.

The beaches and the sea beyond, with some falsehood and thinness, and even the waves give me a sense of mechanicality, disorder, and pixels. Lele began to talk about what he had seen, and his tone was a little depressed.
