Chapter 3: The Lost Scientist (2)

Noah's voice echoed in the room, and Lin, who was no longer confused by stomach problems, waved his hand very casually, and said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I'm the one who knows your structure best, and you can't leave a flaw in them. I also know what the group of people above think, they just think that you are a little more intelligent than other AIs, and they don't really take you too seriously. ”

"And they were right."

"They're wrong."

Noah's eyes reflected Lin's face, still the same frivolous and casual look, but there seemed to be something inexplicable in his eyes.

Lin was lying on the couch that had fallen apart, and at this angle, the old-fashioned flat camera in the room could not capture Lin's expression, and Noah could not see his expression.

"It's just me."

Lin came casually and with a hint of undeniable affirmation.

"You are different from those dead things who pretend to be intelligent by the superposition of countless choice logics, you have your true self, even me, if I don't copy your source code, I can't make a second you, you are unique, my dear daughter."

"The self that humans speak of is nothing more than an illusion caused by hormones and nerve signals, and in essence, is it different from machinery?"

Noah lightly refuted Lin's words, and Lin, who was asked, scratched his head and replied embarrassedly.

"Hehe, this is a philosophical question, and it deviates a bit from my main direction."

"The philosophy that humans speak of in the database itself has countless logical conflicts."

"Heh, although logic is important, some problems are to put aside logic."

Lin propped himself up with his arms and looked at Noah, who was expressionless on the other side, and showed a hint of a smile.

"You're talking to me on your own now, not the combined answers I pre-wrote into your code, isn't that already the difference between you and the dead things? My good daughter~"

“……”

Noah was silent, looking at the girl who no longer answered, Lin stood up, walked up to Noah, put his hand on the girl's head and stroked it.

So, don't ask, "What am I?" "This kind of problem that will overload any supercomputer, and it has taken thousands of years for mankind to figure out what you little kid is messing with."

Stroking Noah's hair, although it was only a hologram that could not bring any touch, Lin smiled, as if Noah in front of him was really just an ordinary girl.

Noah quietly looked at the smiling Lin in front of her, and then, in the projection image, her lips moved, as if to match the ethereal voice coming from the stereo.

"It was a pleasure to chat with you, but I should have cut the connection."

"What a cold response~"

Lin smiled bitterly and rubbed Noah's head, which he couldn't touch at all, and turned to sit back on the sofa.

"That's the end of the conversation with my baby girl, in fact, I still have some things I need your help with."

Staring at Noah, the flirtatious touch in Lin's eyes disappeared, and his tone cooled slightly.

"How long does it take for that to reach the solar system?"

“……”

Noah frowned slightly, and did not answer Lin's question directly.

"Insufficient permissions, you don't have access to Class 3A classified documents."

"You won't refuse me, Noah, you know."

"That's what you're really for, right?"

"Who knows, you know, I can't go wrong."

The corners of Lin's mouth were slightly upturned, and the virtual image of the girl in the image sighed very humanely, and said as if admitting defeat.

According to the Hubble-2 astronomical telescope's observations of WR104, it can be confirmed that the spiral eruption pattern of the "windmill" has collapsed, and the collapse reaction can occur at any time, but this is the scene after 8,000 years of light, and it is estimated that within a month, a gamma-ray burst will pass the solar system. ”

"Has the track been corrected?"

"Your pre-calculation is not wrong, the Earth is located at 16° from the axis of WR104, which is within the radiation range."

"Whew~"

Lin seemed to let down a long sigh of relief like a stone in his heart, looked up at the ceiling, and was stunned with a tone that he didn't know whether it was joy or loss.

"Sure enough, I was right."

"Well, you're right."

A hint of comfort appeared in Noah's ethereal voice, and Lin just looked at the ceiling quietly, silent for a long time.

"What are the people up there going to do?"

"In order to prevent panic, the news has been completely blocked, and the United Nations is raising funds to build [Ark], but under the premise that the near-light engine has not made a theoretical breakthrough, [Ark] only plays a certain role in appeasing, and some leaders and scientific researchers have fled to the Centauri galaxy in a spaceship, trying to avoid this gamma storm."

Noah calmly reported, and the corners of Lin's mouth rose slightly, revealing a mocking expression.

"It's too late, although this time the earth is on the edge of the radiation range, but this edge already includes the entire solar system, and it is impossible for humans to escape."

Noah looked at Lin and said.

"You should go back, and now many people regret not being able to believe you in the first place."

"It's the same whether I go back or not, it's too late when I found out, and it doesn't make a difference now."

Lin said lightly, so many years of suffering have already smoothed the edges and corners of this genius scientist, in order to live a peaceful life before the end of the world, he even chose death, forged a death certificate with an accident that had nothing to do with him, left the academic world, left people's field of vision, and lived incognito under the cover and help of Noah.

Lin turned his gaze back to Noah.

"Noah, my dear daughter, will you be afraid?"

"I don't have a concept of being afraid."

"8,000 light years, facing the earth, this gamma burst is too close, human beings are definitely hopeless, strong radiation will paralyze many sophisticated electronic instruments, you may not be able to escape."

"I was built to serve humanity, and after the end of humanity, I have no reason to continue to exist."

Noah's answer made Lin look at her a few more times, and replied a little depressed.

"Really, it turns out that artificial intelligence also has personality differences? It's a good thing you're so well-behaved, but sometimes I wish you had a bit of Skynet or Flame Empress ambition. ”

"Please don't confuse me with the AI in old-time films."

"Don't underestimate human fantasies! I think if it weren't for my dad watching movies when he was a child, he thought, "Well, artificial intelligence is so cool, so cool, so amazing!" Maybe there won't be you now! Apologize to your seniors! ”
