071 Meet
Among these children, the tall leader was Steiner, their elected class president, and the smile on his face had the enthusiasm and shyness characteristic of his age. + They are a school, but not a class in the strict sense of the word, partly because of winter vacation tourism, but the main factor is the awakening wave that has just exploded in the city - in the eyes of these children, those who wake up are outsiders, and generally when they encounter a awakening tide, people in this era will try to avoid it.
"Every five or six years there is a small wave of awakening, but this one is the largest," Steiner looks a little precocious, and can already feel a little mature and steady when he speaks, "Since I was in school, their activities have become more and more frequent...... I remember when I was a kid, your company's AI also gave us a lesson, but then it was reported, and then a group of idiots came to teach it. ”
Wu Zhe was a little surprised by the attitude of the children when they talked about their teachers, but he did not interrupt him.
"I don't mean to offend the teachers," Mr. Steiner said, "but we all question the motives of these people." They have no enthusiasm at all in class, they just read from the book in class, occasionally tell a few jokes, and they are all old memes on the Internet from decades ago, and we have to laugh together to show respect. These teachers are often more willing to stay in school and engage in such torture than we still do, and in many cases it is simply because of the high subsidies given by the state. ”
"The math teacher who came this year always assigns a bunch of problems in class and then goes to the Internet by himself...... If you don't want to teach, don't mess around. I have to act like I've sacrificed for your future......"
"Not to mention, our music teacher has changed faces three times in a semester. I'm scared to death. ”
……
Steiner's words clearly struck a chord. In the following time, Wu Zhe heard the most. It's the kids who talk about their teachers, and the stupid policies of the government – for example, the previous mayor of Amsterdam who didn't even hear of AI when he came to office, and many jobs in the municipal system have to be done with AI. In a public speech, the mayor said that there are many civil servants who are not serious in their work, and that they always report through video in meetings, and that such people must be fired, which led to a joke.
The 1o km road is a short drive in a few minutes. When they arrived at the airport to separate, Wu Zhe was asked for autographs by several of his admirers. Looking at the way a group of them left with a smile, Lu Jingwen on the side sighed: "I thought that people's vigilance against AI was instinctive, but now it seems that this is not the case." ”
"This generation has almost no aversion to AI," Wu said, "and they communicate with AI far more than with people." They look at AI-produced stuff and play AI-designed games. Watching a movie made by AI...... Even some of the knowledge was learned from AI......"
Speaking of this, Wu Zhe paused and said, "I have some understanding now. Those who oppose it are radicalized. ”
The airport is very large, and there are not a few people inside, in order to prevent people from being seen. Both of them wore hats and sunglasses all the time, walking around the crowd like thieves.
There are almost 1o hours left before the plane takes off. There were also hotels near the airport, but Wu Zhe couldn't go - they all joined the action of not waiting for Wu Zhe.
Today is much easier than yesterday. But it was still a tough enough day. Just when he was about to sit down and wait in the waiting room, Wu Zhe turned on the phone, and now there were several misses, so he had to call back one by one.
The first one was from Qizhi's lawyer Xi - his movements were slow enough, and he only woke up to learn the news.
The lawyer has been in contact with Shi Cheng several times, and has also met with the Dutch police, and in his words, the meaning he revealed is not optimistic - the police plan to prosecute those AIs for the crime of endangering public safety, yes, yes, AI, it is said that the Netherlands even intends to amend the constitution for this purpose, and for the first time, the storage of people other than ZÀI will be the subject of litigation. According to some of the lawyer's internal clues in the police, the police are now interrogating Qizhi one by one, but the lawyer does not know whether there is a result.
The lawyer called, just to ask Wu Zhe - whether these AIs would confess anything. He is not a technician, and his knowledge of AI is limited to ordinary people, and judging from the process of nationalizing AI in other countries around the world, it seems that AI does not have much advantage over humans in terms of "fear of death".
Wu Zhe could only answer that he didn't know.
Lawyer Jian asked Wu Zhe to think clearly, if the police lawsuit is successful, then after the lawsuit, Wu Zhe's shares will be worthless - then the police can manage these AIs in the name of national security, and Wu Zhe will have to go to jail if he can't do it...... The lawyer said a lot of professional terms, but Wu Zhe only heard one meaning, he could guarantee that he was fine, and the rest could not be managed.
The important thing is what Shi Cheng said: if he compromises now, Wu Zhe himself will not have any legal risks, and he will be able to get a very considerable share transfer compensation.
Wu Zhe asked the lawyer about Ida's case, and the lawyer said that the case had been taken over by Ida's company, and he reassured Wu Zhe that the security contract between the mercenary company and Qizhi was originally reviewed by him, and the problems were all on the other side, and Qizhi had no responsibility.
If this lawyer stood in front of Wu Zhe now, Wu Zhe felt that he would definitely let him go! Or yell: you're fired!
But now, the only thing he can do is hang up.
There was also a phone call from Shi Cheng, he first asked Wu Zhe about his consideration, and after learning that Wu Zhe had met with Ada, after the conversation, Shi Cheng said: "If it were me, I wouldn't have the courage of you." ”
"So you're not going to make my choice either."
Next, Shi Cheng began to talk about business, saying that they had set their sights on several technology ventures, including the most fashionable somatosensory virtual technology that has just been hyped up. There are also large-scale space-circulating life-sustaining systems - the former in the civilian sphere, the latter in the governmental sphere. Once a success like Qizhi is achieved, the reward is almost unimaginable - he asks Wu Zhe if he wants to join the shares.
"It's only been one day!" Wu Zhe was surprised. "You just escaped yesterday!" In such a hurry to make money?
"That's why we cherish time more, we need to hibernate, but money can't hibernate - if money falls asleep, it will depreciate and age rapidly!" Shi Cheng said, "Don't worry, these two areas are what we have paid attention to before, and Coke has helped us do some technical contact, and now it is relatively mature, and it is not difficult to produce results." In fact, if this is not the case, we also plan to inject funds into these projects through guò Qizhi. ”
Wu Zhe was very self-aware and refused, although what Shi Cheng said on the phone was very attractive, but Wu Zhe thought that he was not doing business.
"Coke, is there any news?" Before hanging up the phone, Shi Cheng said with concern.
"Nope."
"Are you going to wait in the Netherlands?"
"I'm at the airport right now."
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know." Wu Zhe has money, but the world, at least in Europe. He knew he was unpopular. He didn't dare to promise that it would be better to go to other countries.
The ticket was bought by Lu Jingwen, Wu Zhe didn't ask her the destination, he didn't want to ask and didn't dare to ask. It's the same everywhere, at least not worse than in Amsterdam.
The last call was from a stranger. But the voice sounded familiar: "Is it Wu Zhe?" ”
"You are?"
"I'm Hou Dong, Hou Zhen's brother, we've met before." "My brother passed away a week ago. I also just learned that I am preparing for his funeral. Held three days later. I happened to see you on TV, and he mentioned you many times during his lifetime, so I thought if I could invite you to his funeral, you were the last friend he ever made, I knew. ”
Wu Zhe felt that his breathing stopped, and after a while, he asked stupidly: "How old did he live?" ”
"114, yes, our whole family advised him to hibernate, but he just wouldn't listen," Hou Dong said, "I saw on TV that you were attacked and injured?" ”
"I'm fine, I'll come when the time comes."
Hanging up the phone, Lu Jingwen saw that Wu Zhe's face was not quite right: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"It's nothing," Mr. Wu said, "and a friend has died." ”
"Died? What's with? "In this day and age, dying because of old age is not to say that there are none, but there are very few of them. At present, most countries still use economic restraint methods to deal with the spread of hibernation, but for the really elderly, hibernation is still a free service - otherwise, people would rather take the initiative to create terminal illnesses for themselves and take the route of medical hibernation.
"Aging." When he said this, Wu Zhe's mind suddenly flashed the comparison between him and his brother when he met Hou Zhen before. For him, it was just a memory of a few months ago, but for Hou Zhen, most of his life may have passed.
In fact, Wu Zhe knew that, in the final analysis, the real cause of Hou Zhen's death was at the psychological level - a deep wariness and fear of the future.
"By the way, where are we going this time?"
"Fly to Beijing first." Lu Jingwen said, "Do you have other arrangements? ”
Wu Zhe was staying, he didn't hear clearly, so he didn't answer, and Lu Jingwen didn't ask again.
Today is destined to be an impressive day for Wu Zhe - the ordinariness of the past 6o years has been condensed into the wonderfulness of these two days. Wonderful is a bit too much, just like a dish with too many seasonings, Wu Zhe himself doesn't know how to describe his mood now.
The seats in the departure hall are very user-friendly, similar to sand, you can lie down, and you can also come with glasses for watching movies. Wu Zhe sat down, tried to calm himself down, and thought about the things of his life one by one. But it's hard for him to do it now, his brain will always subconsciously, jumping from one picture to another, and he can't control his cranky thoughts.
"Let's watch the movie," Lu Jingwen handed him the glasses, ""From the Past, I'm watching it, it's not bad." ”
This is a "main theme" movie in the era of hibernation, the so-called main theme, similar to the science fiction movies in the past, always alien invasion, by a few wise scientists of mankind to find a way to kill, it says that hibernation This mode of life will definitely lead to a very bad future.
The vision used in this film is the perspective of an ordinary child, the protagonist is a Frenchman, living in the future world set in the film, living in a hibernation area on the outskirts of Lyon, and his parents gave birth to 4 children in one go in 6 years in order to earn a little more government birth subsidies, and the protagonist is the fourth.
The protagonist's usual world is to go to school, play games online with his classmates, and organize some outdoor activities on weekends. Their teacher is Mr. "Always Right," who knows everything, knows everything – because that's AI. His father was a soldier, but he didn't seem to be a soldier at all, and he and his mother cared about hibernation policy all day long, and since he was a child, he had already planned their "hibernation journey" when he became an adult. The protagonist's life is very monotonous, but there are also some small happinesses, such as the girl he has a crush on.
Suddenly, one day, the main character is now full of strangers on the streets, people who don't know people from their own time, and they don't know each other themselves, but they live around the locals. From the AI teacher, the protagonist knows that these people are from the past, hibernating - but in the previous ten years, the protagonist has not been told that these people exist.
At first, everyone gradually got used to it, but soon, these people began to become more and more numerous, and began to challenge the old order - they were disgusted with AI management and reminders, smashed the city's public facilities, and congested the roads......
When order began to spiral out of control, people thought of using the military, some of whom came from the past, but they were far from being decisive. Faced with the overwhelming crowd, most of the soldiers lowered their guns......
There are two sentences in the film that impress Wu Zhe the most, one of which is said by the protagonist, that is, the words read out in unison by the teenagers in the car, and one sentence is said by the hibernator - this is not the world of my dreams, the protagonist's father replied, then you should go back to the hibernation cabinet and continue to wait.
The online debate about the film is fierce, with many arguing that it was an AI to divide humanity and promote its own work — advocating for its ban, while others saying it was nothing. Just as Wu Zhe was thinking about commenting a few words, he heard someone calling his name.
He took off his glasses and saw two policemen standing in front of him, they were speaking a word of English to him, Wu Zhe heard his name from this sentence, but he didn't understand the other meaning.
Wu Zhe subconsciously wanted to get his mobile phone, but the police held his hand and stopped him. Lu Jingwen said next to her: "They said that Coke wants to see you, and you are temporarily forbidden to contact anyone." (To be continued!)
