Chapter 7: The Irreparable Distance
“…… In addition to Tsinghua University, another institution of higher learning that has made great achievements in the field of artificial intelligence is the old and famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Boken published an article in the journal "Seeking the Truth" about the dangers of swarm artificial intelligence, and the dangers of this artificial intelligence have once again caused widespread controversy in the industry, and there is a small rumor that Professor Boken has gone far in swarm artificial intelligence, and that a large company is the sponsor of his research, and they have even invited TF with relevant expertise to assist the research ......"
-- "Science Industry Dynamics", a popular science magazine of the Alliance, most of the time pays more attention to the gossip of scientists, and has a poor reputation.

If you use this method, there will be no problem, and it should be possible, but if you have any doubts about my calculus, you can try the calculus, and it should be able to be established.
The white-haired girl sat at the table, the cat ears on her head turned slightly, and in her right hand she held a brick-like copy of "The Mechanics of Advanced Prehistoric Civilizations" in one hand, and her gloved left hand quickly typed this line of text on the computer on the left, and then sent it out.
The girl stretched out her left hand and flipped the pages, her green pupils constantly swaying from side to side.
If you don't believe in your calculations, then I'm really confused.
Instead of replying with text, Helis returned to the keyboard with his left hand, typed out a "smile" emoji, and sent it.
Helis. Ivanova turned off the instant messenger, raised her hand to close the book in her hand, and placed the reptile killer on the table, staring at the lines of code on the screen, silent.
It's been a year since the incident that made her and Ling Yu part ways.
In fact. She didn't plan to leave Ling Yu for so long, let alone that she would enter the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and become an exceptional doctoral student.
She didn't need to learn this knowledge, at least not in school, but the clues she investigated in the real room at that time finally pointed here. Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It took Heris some effort and the help of the Knights to get close to Rosen, who was most likely to have something to do with it. Professor Boken.
She spent a year lurking here, and it may not be appropriate to say that she is lurking, after all, Helis has also been on TV, and the name of "Digital Princess" is also known to Professor Boken, but it is precisely this kind of open and honest conspiracy that makes Professor Boken unable to refuse himself and refuse to enter the core content of the project he is researching.
But this time, she wasn't so reckless. She considered the possibility that the person who had left her a message in the Seychelles was trying to lure herself here.
This turned out to be wise in the end, with the involvement of Helis and Rosen. Professor Boken's project, there is something suspicious.
It's just that it's not yet time for a showdown, and on the other hand, Helis also has some evidence that Professor Boken is not related to the ACA, and he is likely to be a decoy to be used.
Merely. That day is not too far away.
Helis turned his head next to the electronic calendar. The day of her graduation was marked with a red frame.
She pulled her thoughts back, raised her hand and pulled over a blueprint next to her, opening her five fingers outwards to enlarge it.
On the screen is a diagram of the structure of the Enigma pistol.
Helis did not cut off contact with Ling Yu, she has been working on intelligence support and equipment upgrades for Ling Yu, including the design and modification plan for the Mystery Pistol in front of her.
blueprints. There is a lack of information that is marked.
AY882 supercapacitor.
"Ding-dong-"
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Helis closed the book with one hand, jumped off the stool, and looked at herself, wearing only a tank top and shorts. He frowned, then walked to the side, tiptoed off the coat rack next to him, draped it over his body, and walked to the entrance.
But when Helis walked to the entrance, the person who rang the doorbell had already left, and the girl opened the door, picked up the takeaway box at the door, closed the door, and walked into the room.
Herris put the takeout box on the table, then turned around and took out yesterday's takeout box and put it in the doorway, and went back again.
The table designed for college students in the college dormitory was a little too tall for Herris, but two years later, the girl's body had not changed much, she climbed on the stool, then opened the take-out box, and carefully removed the mezzanine containing the fried chicken fried rice on it, and there was a white storage tray in the hot water used to keep the heat warm on the lower level.
The girl reached out and fished out the storage plate, then jumped off the stool, took off her cloak and threw it on the sofa next to her, went into the kitchen, took out the plate and cutlery, returned to the dining table, and separately covered a large fried rice with a whole fried chicken, and removed the safety buckle of the storage plate and placed it in a corner of the table.
This seemingly normal solid wood dining table has long been transformed into a full-featured communication station by Helis, several blue lights shoot out from the perimeter of the storage disk, and then the desktop lights up, and after the initialization is over, a holographic screen appears in the air.
"Yo, Your Highness the Princesses, are you satisfied with today's lunch? I added celery to the fried rice. ”
The encrypted channel is directly connected to a kilometer away, wearing a jacket from a nearby restaurant, Ethan, who has just finished delivering a takeaway, steps onto a three-wheeled electric vehicle for food delivery, and drives to the next target point, and the teenager with headphones is like an ordinary music-loving migrant worker, naturally blending himself into the traffic of the college town.
Not bad.
Herris's reply is displayed on Ethan's glasses, and Ethan clears his throat and gives Helis bad news in the first place.
"I'm afraid the supercapacitor thing is out of play, all the supercapacitors in the cavalry are in use now, in other words, they can be installed on the equipment and borrowed temporarily, but even the 'Hundred-Eyed Giant' can't get one for you for a long time."
Once Clarke. Ethan, who was credited dead in action after the "Ark" coup, was actually recruited by the Centennial Giant, a secret intelligence organization established by Speaker Isaac, to become a spy for the cavalry, and his first mission was to assist the New Prism Squad.
And then?
Helis responded indifferently to two words, while slowly shaving fried rice, she knew Ethan's background. I don't hate this table xiàn ordinary boys either.
Of course, the word "spy" always evokes some unpleasant memories for Helis, so she takes the initiative to keep her distance from the boy of this similar age.
"But then I learned from the scribe chief Edwin. Reagan got a clue in his hands, twenty years ago, during the winter Arctic war. More than 2,000 supercapacitors have been lost on the black market, this thing is not high-tech, but it is very troublesome to manufacture, originally thought that a replacement can be manufactured within five years, so the limited manpower did not immediately recover, and now I find out that it is actually very important. ”
I have correspondence with your new scribe general, exchanging some questions, of course, to hide my identity.
Helis gently cuts off the drumsticks of the fried chicken with a dining knife. Nibbled in small bites, and rarely said more.
"So, in fact, when you came to the cavalry team to look for this thing, you found the wrong direction in the first place, and Ling Yu's predecessor is too, he should go to the black market by himself."
I know, so the two-dimensional tin integrated circuit I wanted, is it done?
"That's fine. The courier has been sent, from an intelligence station in Birmingham, England. Probably tomorrow. ”
Ethan stopped at a red light, looked around, and waved hello to the familiar school officer.
Very good, thank you, is there anything else?
"That." Ethan hesitated, but spoke. "You'll graduate in a few weeks."
Tentatively scheduled for November 10.
Helis stacked the bones of a chicken neatly like a graduate student in the process of dissecting a real yàn, and then poured the final fried rice into a bowl.
"Back to the Prism Squad?"
Ethan regretted the question, so much so that his tricycle swayed slightly, and the boy explained. "Knight Commander Sauron asked me before."
Sue him, it has nothing to do with him.
The spoon in Helis paused, then replied.
If there is nothing else, contact will be disconnected.
Then Helis turned off the communications.
The white-haired girl ate the fried rice in the bowl little by little, then picked up the storage tray on the table, threw it into the mezzanine of the thermos box, restored the qiē, packed it, and then turned around and lay on the sofa.
A year is almost over...... Are you really ready?
Helis closed her eyes, and even now, she occasionally dreamed of the sneering lines.
- You're going to kill everybody.
The girl suddenly felt a little cold, she pulled the blanket next to her, wrapped herself whole, and lay down on the sofa.
***
So...... Only you're going to solve it here.
Ling Yu looked at Helis's words on the screen, frowned slightly, and then nodded.
"So, you know, I happen to be in Tehran, and I should be able to find what I want here, which is nothing more than money and time."
Ling Yu leaned against the wall of the corridor of the room with his headphones on, and looked at Helis in front of the camera with his left eye, and every time he communicated, Helis wore a cloak and wrapped himself tightly.
Actually, Ling Yu, there is one thing I want to sue you.
"What?" Ling Yu looked at Helis who was frowning on the other side of the camera and asked.
This kind of supercapacitor is not too advanced for a prehistoric civilization, and from this point of view, it may ...... Places you've been to where outer space has something to do with prehistoric civilizations, there may be.
“……”
Ling Yu looked at Helis's face, the lines of his left hand suddenly twitched, and then, the young man felt a wave of dizziness, he was silent for a few seconds, regained his vision, and then took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Don't mention this again, I haven't been back for more than two years...... Don't mention these things again. ”
Good.
Herris's answer was extremely succinct.
"Anyway, thank you, leave it to me here."
Ling Yu nodded, then smiled a little hard at Helis and ended the communication.
The young man straightened up and looked at the blue coat of arms on the back of his left hand, which had not changed for more than two years, which had been hidden by gloves.
Ling Yu clenched his fists, turned around, and gently opened the door.
"Captain."
"Ling Yu...... You okay? ”
Payne and Arya gave a knightly salute and a military salute respectively, while Vivien walked over, grabbed the hem of Ling Yu's clothes, and looked at it with concern.
The three of them could see the change in Ling Yu's feelings, while Vivien directly expressed her concern.
"No problem." Ling Yu closed his eyes and nodded, then looked at Arya, "Has Kronos already prepared everything he needs?" ”
"When it's ready, we can pick up the car in the afternoon and come back in the evening."
Arya swiped the electronic board in her hand and nodded.
"That's no problem, Payne, you and Arya go pick up the car." Ling Yu nodded, then reached out and gently stroked the girl on her lap, "Vivian and I are going to the black market, and there are some things we need to get before we go." ”
"Yes."
"Understood."
"Good!!"
The three of them expressed their affirmation in their own style, and then Ling Yu walked straight to the door, took off the long-brimmed hat, buttoned it on his head, covered his face with a scarf, and watched Vivian run over with the box on her back, and the two walked out of the room together.
***
Tehran's most famous black market is probably located in the center of the North District, because its geographical location is located at the junction of Asia, Europe and Africa, and because no military force is willing to set foot in this radiant area for many years, so gradually the black market controlled by local gangs has become an unshakable existence - after all, even the League or the ACA will have some shady agents to buy something shady here.
"Black technology weapons must be left behind."
Ling Yu glanced at the heavily armed guard, patted Vivian on the shoulder, the girl was obviously very unwilling to remove the metal box with the hammer "Innocence" on her back, the guard was very professional, put the metal box into a sealed safe, and then motioned for Vivian to come up and set up the DNA code.
"It's obviously a black market, just like the regular market."
Vivian completed this qiē angrily, and then walked back to Ling Yu, "Mu Monkey and Crown." ”
"No, you're wrong."
Ling Yu stretched out her hand and took Vivian's little hand, the unhappiness on the girl's face instantly dissipated, revealing a happy smile, and listening to Ling Yu's words quietly.
"This is the power of order."
"Although it is the instinct of human beings to eat the jungle, the difference between humans and animals is here, where there are people, order will be formed spontaneously, even if this order is based on bullying and plunder, but it is also an order after all; To put it another way, there is no bullying and plundering without order, but as long as there is order, there is room for civilization to be born, and there is still hope for mankind. ”
"So from this point of view, it may be difficult for us to deny that order is also part of the human gene, but this gene is obviously not given by nature."
"Could that be given by prehistoric humans?"
Vivian took Ling Yu's hand and asked in an uncertain tone.
"Who knows?" Ling Yu smiled and shook his head, obviously Vivian didn't understand what she meant, but this topic might indeed be a little esoteric for a child.
Ling Yu didn't say much, and walked straight to the tallest seven-story building in the distance. (To be continued......)
