Chapter 36: Open

"Wait here." The old man led Andor to a castle-like house, and turned back to explain to Amdo. "Don't move!" The old man had already pushed the door into the house, and still shouted back with some unease.

"Got it." Andor looked at the mysterious old man with some concern.

The light in the room was very dim. The old man didn't mean to turn on any light source, and kept walking forward with his head down. Walk all the way to the opposite wall. Stretching out his baby-like hands, he groped around the wall. His hands moved carefully little by little, as if he was afraid of breaking something.

I don't know how long those hands touched the wall, and when the old man's hand stopped, he put it at his side for a while. A secret door flashed not far from the old man. The inside of the door shone faintly red. The old man let out a long sigh and looked at the secret door that kept flashing red for a moment, and the expression on his face was uncertain. The red light in the secret door suddenly accelerated and flickered, and even the somewhat dim outhouse space was coated with a faint red film.

The old man finally took a step, and although he still hesitated, he walked towards the secret door. The secret door was slowly closed when the old man had just entered. At the moment when the secret door was completely closed, the red light inside completely dissipated.

"Here we are." An indifferent voice rang out as the red light dissipated and the old man walked into the middle of the hall.

Old man Fan nodded and did not speak.

"Looks like you're not very happy?" If Andor had been here, he would have heard the person behind the voice. The little kid who had caused him to stay here.

"He doesn't seem to be a good fit." The old man sat on a chair in the middle of the hall and said a little angrily.

"What do you mean by that?" This kind of immature children's voice that makes people pretend to be old when they hear it is really a bit pretentious.

"He has absolutely no desire to be a strong man." The old man's interest did not seem to be very high, and he looked completely weak when he spoke. "You also know that for a person, the level of vision is often a ruler that determines the level of his achievements. Maybe not so accurately, but this guy doesn't even have the slightest desire to be strong. The standard is a mediocre person who is a little rich and safe. ”

"Do you think a high-minded guy is a good choice?" The immature voice didn't seem to agree with Old Man Fan's opinion.

"Are we afraid of being too ambitious?" The old man was not frightened by the hat that was buttoned by the childish voice. "We're just afraid of someone who doesn't dare to think, right?"

"Really? So why did the last choice fail? The childish voice retorted. That's a perfect seed, right? It's almost generated according to the standard of 'illustration', what does it look like in the end? Do you want to do it again? ”

"You ,......" The old man seemed to be reminded of a sad matter, and his rebuttal was not spoken. But he let out a long sigh and remained silent.

"Don't forget about it. Who hasn't failed? The chances of success of this kind of thing are very small, you can't think of it, right? The immature voice didn't know if it was persuading the old man, or deliberately angry with the old man. Speaking unceremoniously.

"I'm not that stupid!" The old man was angry. "It's none of my business! If it weren't for that dead old man's good deeds, would it be my turn to worry about this? ”

"Hee-hee,...... Started complaining again. But what's the use? The old man couldn't hear it anyway. The childish voice smirked.

"Laugh at the fart!" The old man was indignant.

"After all these years, you still can't change your temper. I really wonder if Noni's theories are really useful? The childish voice was still grinning.

"What does this have to do with Noni?" The old man didn't think so.

"Do you say that there is no possibility of human character and temperament evolving?" The childish voice seemed very curious.

"Dog takes a mouse!" The old man seemed to be stopped by this question, and said with some annoyance and hatred.

"Who do you say is a dog?" The childish voice was angry.

"Parable! Do you understand the parable? "The old man is angry.

"I don't care what you compare to, anyway, you can't have a dog!" The childish voice is a little unreasonable and authentic.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." The old man ignored the childish voice full of resentment. "That guy's measurement may be sixty-four, what do you think?"

"I already knew!" The childish voice was a little angry.

"I'm still a little against him." When the old man remembered what Amdo said, he couldn't help but worry in his heart. A guy who thinks about how to make money every day, and still earns money that makes the old man not interested in the slightest. What can be achieved is worthy of his years of hard work.

"Look? We can't hold out for much longer anyway. "The childish voice doesn't matter if it's authentic.

"What do you mean?" The old man rolled up the whites of his eyes, which were already a little sunken, and said lightly but coldly.

"It's been a long, long time since we've restocked the crystals." The immature voice was a little threatening to the old man's words, and he didn't care about it at all. "Maybe it won't be long before we can really fall into a deep sleep. Maybe the next time we wake up, everything will be fine, and we won't have to worry about it. ”

"Endless daydreams!" The old man snorted angrily. "How much longer?"

"A year and a half is still not a problem."

"How long has it been?" The old man seemed a little incredulous.

"What do you think?"

"I ,......"

"Alright, alright! What is there to hesitate about! Wouldn't it be okay to let him take an introductory test? The childish voice said with some impatience.

"Introductory test? Isn't that more costly! The old man wondered.

"Of course! You don't sleep so much that you forget these basic things, do you? The childish voice glared at it with some exaggerated eyes. Oh, I see. You wouldn't expect to find a good seed in that year and a half, would you? ”

Looking at the direction from which the immature voice came, the old man's eyes flickered rapidly a few times, but he turned his head again and stopped speaking.

"Don't have anything to say, do you? I'll just say you don't want to be so perfect! Besides, even if you look perfect now, do you know what it will look like in the future? The immature voice was a little old-fashioned, looking at the old man and persuading. If these basic requirements were useless, would they have changed them then? Give it a try, shall you? ”

"He really doesn't have that kind of temperament, he won't be what we're looking for!" Old man Fan sighed helplessly.

"You don't really want to wait for our crystals to run out of energy and go into a long hibernation, do you?" The childish voice muttered angrily.

"But I can't ,...... it"

"At least we can ask him to help us replenish the crystals?" The immature voice said this reason, and finally silenced the old man who was already a little shaken.

"That means you don't need to go through the identification process?" Old Man Fan muttered quietly.

"How is that possible?" The immature voice also sighed dissatisfiedly. "At that time, it was set that the identification process had to be carried out before crystal energy could be supplemented."

"It's not going to be a hassle." Old man Fan was a little unhappy.

"It's better than a long hibernation that doesn't know when it's going to end, right?" The immature voice persuaded. "Besides, it's not that bad, at least the basic factor code is good."

"That's just the basics." The old man was unimpressed.

"The most basic? Hehe, what do you think the most basic means? The immature voice was very dissatisfied with the old man's tone. The most basic is also the most important, and you won't forget this, right? ”

"Humph!" The old man glanced to the left side of the hall, furrowed his nose slightly, and did not answer the question posed by the immature voice.

"Don't you remember that there were only a few people who did the basic tests at that time?" The childish voice asked.

"Isn't that also fruitless?" Old man Fan replied unceremoniously.

"But,...... Why do you think they didn't come to fruition? The hesitant words of the immature voice aroused the curiosity of the old man.

The old man's eyes widened, staring at the left side of the hall. "What happened?"

"What else could there be? Do you think that senior brother of yours is really relieved of you? The tone of the childish voice was full of disdain. If it was usual, the old man would have jumped to his feet a long time ago. Only now, the old man has heard the vague meaning hidden in his words, which may be what he has always suspected.

"What do you mean?" The old man hesitated for a while, but still asked with some hope.

"Have you always hated Fan's kid for so long?" The childish voice asked with some caution.

The old man's mind didn't know where it flew, and he didn't pay attention to the clever way when the immature voice spoke.

"What do you know?" Old man's mind was adjusted by him.

"At that time, the people on the other side of the mountain had already discovered our plan. Ship No. 1 was destroyed by them, and you actually died there. The childish voice whispered back.

"What did you say?" Old man Fan was a little surprised.

"Now you're just a factorial code assembly saved by that kid." The immature voice was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

"How is that possible?" Old man Fan was completely beaten by this sentence. "Don't think I don't know, the proposed factorial assembly is not self-aware. It's no different from logic! The old man didn't believe it at all, or didn't believe it at all.

"You don't have to. You can open your own start code area and take a look. The immature voice seemed to be out of the way, and he didn't care about the old man's already enlightened expression, and continued.

"This?"

"Believe it, huh?"

"How is this possible?"

"Do you feel that if you open the start code area, you shouldn't have autonomous consciousness?" The childish voice was a little proud. "He's already discovered part of the genetic code."

"How did I not know?" The old man looked stupidly at the place on the left side of the hall where the childish voice came from time to time.

"Is it time to start the introductory measurement program?"

"You tell me all of that!" The old man suddenly shouted hatefully in the direction from which the immature voice came, as if he had known some bad news.

"I'll tell you, let's start measuring now!"
