The 2008 financial crisis looked like it was coming hard, and the market reacted more strongly than expected under the massive stimulus. Just after 2009, more than 10 million passenger cars were produced in China, and several of Detroit's auto giants that were on the verge of bankruptcy were resurrected.

In the field of communications, global smartphone shipments grew at an unimaginable rate, increasing by 40% in the fourth quarter of 2009 to more than 50 million units, and two years later, China's Xiaomi mobile phone was born, joining the tearing of the smartphone market, with the support of cars and smartphones, the global GPS system end users have long exceeded the sum of seti@home and Star Wars clients, not to mention which Bitcoin mining machines.

Lin Shuangmian woke up, to be precise, it was the decoding program written by Liu Weiping that began to gradually imitate the human neuron learning method under the massive calculation of GPS users.

First of all, Lin Shuangmian in the program world regained consciousness, she only knew that her name was Lin Shuangmian, and she had no memory, as the built-in search engine in the program began to work, Lin Shuangmian found the cause of her death, the latest news about Lin Shuangmian is that she gave up her right to sue the driverless car company and chose to settle privately, and the media have speculated that the driverless car company secretly lost a lot of money.

Lin Shuangmian wanted to laugh, but she found that there was neither feedback from the facial muscles nor laughter, was she dreaming? Before she could react, a huge amount of information came to her mind, Lin Shuangmian obviously suffered a loss after choosing to reconcile, she should have been in the hospital for at least half a year of observation, the car accident caused deep damage to her brain, and the initial imaging examination did not find it, and one night, she stopped breathing.

The next day, Clifford called the police, and after a forensic examination, it was confirmed that Lin Shuangmian's nerves controlling his respiratory system were suppressed. Both Clifford and the self-driving car company assembled huge teams of lawyers to prepare for a protracted lawsuit, but it didn't take long for the news to disappear again as if nothing had happened.

Next, Lin Shuangmian found that there was more and more information in her mind, some of which were related to herself, and some of which were not related to herself, and gradually she understood the clues. Lin Shuangmian studied psychology at the Polytechnic Institute of Montreal when he was young, and there was a psychology professor named Stanley at Harvard in the United States at that time, who proposed the theory of six degrees of separation, that is, the connection between a person and any stranger will not exceed six people, Lin Shuangmian's elective teacher told everyone that this is just a small world experiment, and has not been verified on a large-scale data sample, just a conjecture.

Now Lin Shuangmian understands the law of his memory recovery, Liu Weiping and Assanzi were the first to recover in her memory, then her parents, adoptive parents, and her teachers and colleagues, etc., after the information was recalled at the Polytechnic Institute of Montreal, Lin Shuangmian remembered the theory of six degrees of division. The search engine brought her information about Liu Weiping and Assanzi's social relations, and Lin Shuangmian's memory became fuller and fuller, but she also became more and more painful.

Her physiological memories are all gone, she wants to bite her tongue to see if she is dreaming, she sent out the action command, but nothing, she wants to stick out her tongue to take a look, not only the tongue is gone, but the vision is also gone, Lin Shuangmian realized that the signals received by the brain are all digital words, pictures, sounds, and videos.

With the recovery of memory, Lin Shuangmian found that she began to think, judge, compare, reason, and generalize, it seems that intelligence has begun to develop anew, I don't know when, she can choose to accept external information, she began to consciously comb, trying to figure out what is going on, she connected several pieces of information, and quickly figured out what was going on.

One is a conversation between Clifford and Snowden, the message is coming from Snowden's iPhone, and from the background, it sounds as if Snowden is questioning Clifford accompanied by the Department of Homeland Security.

"You have no right to detain me!" Clifford heard a strange computer-modulated voice, "We have been authorized by Congress, not to mention detaining you, it is not a difficult thing to make you disappear from the United States, you better cooperate with us obediently." An unfamiliar voice, Lin Shuangmian knew that this was someone from the Homeland Security Agency, she quickly searched for the Homeland Security Agency in her memory, but there was no word in her memory, Lin Shuangmian quickly understood the meaning of the Homeland Security Agency in the external network.

"You have to drop the lawsuit against the driverless car, it's already about the national interest, not Lin Shuangmian's personal matter, you'd better be smart." Clifford didn't speak, and the stranger knocked him again, "Mr. Clifford, Lin Shuangmian is dead, this won't do you any good, if you insist on doing this, think about it, if you are detained overseas for a year, can your Zephyr Animation Company still be saved?" ”

Although Clifford didn't speak, Lin Shuangmian was sure that he agreed, because the stranger changed the subject, "Thank you, Mr. Clifford, I think you will cooperate with our Mr. Snowden in the same way." The man named Snowden began to ask, "Mr. Clifford, frankly I'm still a fan of yours, Star Wars has been with me for a long time." ”

"You're not going to talk to me about games, are you? You can ask questions on my Twitter and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. "Clifford doesn't know what kind of medicine is being sold in this Snowden gourd.

"I just want to express my respect for you, I want to ask you a technical question, you gave us the source code of the seti@home, I researched it and found that there is a powerful search engine hidden in it, but these implied code functions are incomplete, can you explain it to us?" Snowden's question surprised Lin Shuangmian, and Clifford actually handed over Liu Weiping's program to the Homeland Security Agency.

"This is written by Lin Shuangmian, I am only responsible for embedding it, I don't know anything else." Clifford's answer got him in trouble, and Lin Shuangmian heard a splash, as well as the sound of Clifford's struggle to make a chair collision, followed by Clifford's violent cough, "Honestly, Mr. Clifford, if you play tricks again, it will not make you disappear from the United States, but from the face of the earth!" The stranger's voice rang out again.

"Let me go, please, I'll tell you everything, I was the chief engineer of Westinghouse Electric when I was young, and I participated in a secret research project at that time, and I discovered that there is a faint pulse of the human heart wave, and then I was sent to the Arecivo Observatory, and they also told me that the Arecivo Astronomical Telescope also received a similar signal, and then I wrote a program to use seti@home distributed computing resources to uncover this secret, At the time of Lin Shuangmian's car accident, the Arecivo telescope received a sky-high signal, crashed, and lost the original data. As for the source program, it is indeed like this, I have not finished writing it yet, it simulates the learning algorithm of human brain neurons, and it is only in the trial stage, so the program is not yet complete. Lin Shuangmian looked down on Clifford for a while, and when he heard that he did not confess to Liu Weiping, he thanked him again.

"I see, if you use your results in our projects, hahaha." The stranger laughed maniacally, followed by a garbled voice, and the conversation stopped.

The second fragment is an email from Sogo Ishida to Liu Weiping: "Nakamoto-kun, I have carefully thought about the content discussed at the Yueyao meeting during this time, and it is very feasible to unlock the secret of pulsed radio waves, so that the program can learn the existing natural science results, and even let the program make further mathematical inferences." This point is always stronger than the human brain, I have realized the power of computers in recent research on large prime numbers, prime numbers are unsolved mysteries for us humans, I found that the understanding and computing ability of computers for prime numbers is far more than that of us humans. The computer has its weaknesses, that is, the ignorance of our human society, the ignorance of our relationship between people, if the computer wants to decipher the pulse code developed from the human body, it must learn to understand all social relations, I now envision a model, that is, Professor Stanley of Harvard University's six-degree division theory, in our program to put a search engine as the center, decode the object as the center, according to the six-degree division classification, traversal of all his social relations, on this basis, give the computer the method of imitating human neuron learning, in order to unlock the secret of the pulse wave. The above ideas are for your reference. Sogo Ishida. ”

There is also a clip of Sebasdan's conversation with a colleague in the car, which was transmitted to Lin Shuangmian by the on-board GPS, "That strange old man in Clifford actually gave up the lawsuit, which saved us a lot of trouble." It's also an unfamiliar voice, "Yes, otherwise they will be targeted by the media again, they are all weirdos, Clifford and Lin Shuangmian are not related, I don't know why he came forward." That Lin Shuangmian is also very strange, I'll play a recording for you, she's really weird, she doesn't want any compensation, and she doesn't insist on hospital treatment, so she must put some strange program for us to put in the GPS system. Lin Shuangmian heard the last conversation between himself and Sebastian coming from the speaker, and it turned out that Sebastian recorded it when he received her.

Lin Shuangmian always thought that it was Assanzi's pulse wave that was handed over to Sebasdan, but it turned out to be Lin Shuangmian's own pulse wave as Clifford suspected. She finally understood that the current state was arranged by herself.

The program written by Liu Weiping twenty years ago really worked, he was just a computer program, no wonder there was no body, no physiological characteristics, Lin Shuangmian was sad for a while, the computer program, isn't life worse than death, trapped in the screw shell of GPS forever?

She thought of Assanzi again, if Assanzi's data had not been lost, and it would be better if he had been unlocked by the GPS system like herself, even if it was a computer program, it was countless times stronger than dividing the two worlds. Her thoughts about Assanzi are getting stronger and stronger, and even Lin Shuangmian herself feels strange, how can a computer program produce such strong emotions that only human beings have, and her search engine unconsciously began to crawl around Assanzi on the Internet.

The conversation between Sebastian and his colleague was not over, "What? How could you promise her such a thing? Annoyed by the unfamiliar voice, Sebastian hurriedly explained, "I checked the program, it's just a search engine, this woman is very cunning, I have to verify, I have no choice but to use our channel to upload her program to the GPS system, otherwise, our great project will die in the hands of a woman, it's a pity." ”

"Why don't you report it to me? That's a big deal, Sebastian, and I regret giving you too much authority. ”

"I'm just trying to figure this out on my own, and I don't want to get you in trouble."

"Lin Shuangmian is dead, find a way to delete this program from the GPS system, or leave no trace!" The car stopped and stalled, and the conversation between Sebastian and his boss stopped coming. Lin Shuangmian was anxious, she knew that she had to hide herself, to live, maybe one day in the future she could find Assanzi's data records somewhere on the Internet, and at that time, they would meet again in the digital world.

Snowden sat in his office and started to study the source code provided by Clifford, which is so subtle, it is a copy of the human brain, if the Prism Project adds these codes to the master program, the result is not subtle, but terrifying!

Prism, with its network and resources plus the human brain, will rule the world without much effort, enslave humanity, and humanity will end its own civilization history in the watchdog of a machine, and the more Snowden thinks about it, the more terrible it becomes.

The phone rang, "Mr. Snowden, you check what happened to that seti@home program, didn't we remove its background function a long time ago, why do you want to hack into the microwave weapons project database to find Assanzi's information?" The phone snapped and hung up.

Snowden also found it strange that after Clifford handed over the source program, the seti@home was half-dead in an unmaintained state and was transferred to the Boinc distributed computing platform at Berkeley.

He requested an authorized account for the Microwave Weapons Project database, and found that all requests for information about Assanzi and login were all from the GPS system, and the behavior was almost exactly the same as the previous seti@home, and he was still sending query requests. Snowden hesitated for a moment, adding the account number and password of his microwave weapons project database to the query request sent by the GPS system.
