Under the Canopy - The World Beyond Chapter 16 The Third Research Institute
With a long yawn, Lin Yu got out of the car first, looking disparate.
The light on Saturday seems to be a little dazzling, Lin Yu's eyes hurt, in front of the parking lot is a complex of buildings surrounded by a high wall, the wall is gray, there is a power grid on it, there are automatic batteries at intervals of ten meters, and there must be sentry booths at intervals of 100 meters, which can be described as heavily guarded.
It seemed that Lin Yu was infected, and then Ding Ningcheng and Ye Yi, who got out of the car, also yawned together.
At last night's wine party, the three of them agreed not to use the aura to discharge the alcohol, but to really taste the taste of wine and taste the taste of adulthood, so the three of them were drunk.
Sadly, the three of them recalled the various wines of last night, and none of them felt good.
Could it be that the world of adults is as bitter and unpalatable as this wine, but it can make people intoxicated and unconscious? Lin Yu and the three of them actually have a new understanding of life through drinking, and they can be regarded as having gains.
"What are you doing here?" Lin Yu asked with a straight face, in fact, Lin Yu was still a little apprehensive when he came to a strange place to do an experiment, and he was also happy to have a friend with him.
It's just that when people are young, they will have a good face, and they don't want to show timidity, and they can't help but say something wrong.
"Curious, don't be stingy, don't you have a quota for two people, it just so happens that we are people, so we came together. Ding Ningcheng replied with a smile, in the wine game last night, Lin Yu didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and revealed a lot of information.
"It's a big place. Ye Yi sighed, ignoring the two of them who were ink, and walked first, the gray wall was five meters high, and a warning was written in red letters, and there were not many buildings that could be seen through the top of the wall, which showed that the buildings in the institute were not tall.
The three of them had walked for a while, and when they were still a hundred meters away from the institute, six automatic turrets had already rotated and aimed.
These forts look the same as the anti-aircraft guns on the high-rise buildings in the city, and the power is estimated to be not small, Lin Yu and the three of them have no intention of testing the guns, so they immediately stood still, and at this time, the three of them all had a request for identity verification on their brains.
After Lin Yu submitted the documents, the fort automatically returned to its place, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.
Large sections of prompts and warnings began to appear on the brain, fully demonstrating the classified nature of the Third Research Institute.
Lin Yu was too lazy to look at it, but it happened that Chen Wuming's communication request came at this time, so Lin Yu calmly chose to read at the end of the message and turned off the warning message.
"Teacher Chen, morning, what's the matter?" said hello after Lin Yu connected.
"Did you go to the Third Research Institute?"
"I'm about to enter the gate, Ding Ningcheng and Ye Yi came with me. ”
"I'll upload a piece of stuff to you right away, you take the time to go to the fifth group, let them analyze it, just say that Principal Yang Feng Yang wants, just give them something, and let them give it as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, I got it. Although Lin Yu couldn't understand what he was going to do, he still understood very well.
"That's it, you do a good check-up and wait for your good news. After Chen Wuming finished speaking, he cut off the communication.
Subsequently, Lin Yu's Zhi Brain received an encrypted file, and the three of them also walked to the front door.
The main gate was only ten meters wide, not tall and grandiose, and there was a passage in and out, and eight soldiers were lined up on the left and right, and they did not move.
There is also a room next to the main entrance, with a display screen showing the reception of visitors, which is where Lin Yu and the others are going.
When they entered the reception, there were all kinds of checks and searches, which made the three of them a little nervous.
After the final search, the three of them walked to a large door, which opened automatically, revealing the palatial arrangement inside.
Tall crystal chandeliers, intricately carved cupboards and wine tables, large animal-like leather sofas, and plush carpets that fill the room, everything is like being in another place.
"This is the real reception, right?" Ding Ningcheng sighed as he fell into the sofa.
Ding Ningcheng, who has a habit of cleanliness, can actually sit down, which shows how clean this place is, Lin Yu and Ye Yi also sat down casually to ease the previous tension.
"Do you want to drink?" Lin Yu teased, his brain is automatically connected to the system at the reception, and all kinds of hospitality items and services are completely free of charge, and you can choose from them, among which there are a lot of wines.
Before Ding Ye and the others could answer, the door to the exit automatically opened.
The three of them hurriedly got up and watched a young woman in a scientific research uniform approach.
The woman's long hair is coiled up, fixed at the back of her head with a hair pocket, big eyes, a straight nose, a delicate face, and a good figure make it worthy of the title of beauty.
"My surname is Xiao, Xiao Muyan, you can call me Dr. Xiao. Xiao Muyan shook hands with the three of them one by one as she spoke, "Welcome to the Third Research Institute, I will accompany you all the way today." ”
"You're Lin Yu. Lin Yu Kuiwei's figure is still very recognizable, and without waiting for Lin Yu to answer, Dr. Xiao continued: "Director Zhao has already explained your business, so don't worry." ”
The four of them exchanged pleasantries, all of them had doubts, Xiao Muyan was puzzled by how these three people all had a faint smell of wine, is the life of a middle school student so moist and colorful now?
Lin Yu and the three of them were puzzled by Xiao Muyan's identity, but there was no surname Xiao among the seven team leaders of the Third Research Institute, could it be that Director Zhao only sent an ordinary scientific researcher to be in charge?
"I'll take you on a tour first," Dr. Xiao seemed to see the restraint of the three of them, and said, "This place is not as mysterious as you think, if conditions permit, I would like to open it to No. 1 Middle School for teaching visits in the future." ”
Under the leadership of Dr. Xiao, Lin Yu and the three of them left the reception area, got into a hovering car, and arrived at their destination in a short time.
The research center in front of me occupies an extremely wide area, and the eight-meter-high building is only divided into two floors, with all kinds of energy cannons and bright and dark sentinels all over the place.
"Hello Director Xiao!" the soldiers guarding the entrance greeted Xiao Muyan.
Seeing Xiao Muyan smile in return, Lin Yu's questions were solved, it turned out that the director was sent to receive him, this specification is high enough, of course, this director must be the deputy.
But the title of this deputy director brings another doubt, that is, age.
Looking at Xiao Muyan's appearance, she is only twenty-four or five years old at most, could it be that she is a cultivator, so she can't tell her actual age?
With doubts, Lin Yu and the three of them walked through the security office and walked into the clothes changing room, and Lin Yu decided to test it.
"Aunt Xiao......" Lin Yu opened his mouth to Xiao Muyan.
"What do you want!" Xiao Muyan picked up the helmet in her hand and knocked on Lin Yu's shoulder, "Quickly put on the protective clothing, you go and wear the largest size to try to be small." ”
Seeing that Lin Yu, who was like a bear, was struggling to wear protective clothing, Xiao Muyan smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "Aunt Xiao, I am 25 this year, but I am not much older than you. ”
25? It seems that it is okay to call Auntie, Lin Yu weighed it in his heart, and wanted to call Aunt Xiao again.
Ye Yi saw that the situation was wrong, so he directly pressed a helmet on Lin Yu's head, and forcibly blocked Lin Yu's words.
"Dr. Xiao is really capable, and he became the deputy director at such a young age. Ye Yi slapped a sycophant.
"You are all high-achieving students in cultivation, and I, to put it mildly, can be regarded as a genius in academic research. Xiao Muyan smiled even more, obviously the sycophants were very comfortable.
At the same time, some naughty people compared their hearts with their hands on their chests, and she regarded Lin Ye and the two as campus lovers.
Ye Yi hurriedly shook his head and denied it, he still agreed with Xiao Muyan's words in his heart, he could get the title of doctor at the age of 25, and he could also sit as the deputy director of the research institute, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a genius, if it is said that a class of students is one out of ten thousand, then Xiao Muyan is probably one out of 100 million.
Seeing that Lin Yu had put on the protective clothing, everyone was relieved, although the protective clothing was a little small and looked funny, it was much better than not being able to wear it and needing to be re-ordered.
After passing through the passage of disinfection and dust removal, Lin Yu and the three of them finally really entered the research center.
"It's so nice here! I'm going to renovate my home!" Ding Ningcheng's emotional voice came from the communicator, and the dustless world made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
Problem, Lin Yu secretly said in his heart, the room in front of him is very large, one by one experimental compartments are lined up on both sides, through the huge and transparent special glass, the observer can easily see the situation in the compartment.
Zhi Brain was once again blocked, and all communication could only be carried out through the communicator in the protective suit, and the communication team where Lin Yu and the others were only four people could not communicate with other researchers.
"You guys take a look at it first, and I'll take care of something first. After Xiao Muyan finished speaking, she went to do her own work, obviously she had another communication group and could communicate with other researchers.
Lin Yu and the three of them didn't care, and looked around curiously.
Some compartments have stones in them, some compartments have strange things that are half stone and half metal, some compartments have things that look like spirit stones, and some compartments seem to be empty, but from time to time there are tornadoes formed.
Everything is bizarre, and if you don't explain it, you really can't understand it for a while.
The most curious compartment is the presence of several large computers and monitors, and when researchers type messages outside the chamber, different words appear on different screens, as if a person is communicating with a computer.
Lin Yu looked at it carefully for a while, and then shook his head frequently, the messages replied on the display screen often did not reach the meaning, and the purpose of communication could not be achieved at all.
"Do you see that the famous hall is coming?" Xiao Muyan's voice sounded again after finishing her work, "This is the Reiki Activity Research Center.
The compartment was filled with all kinds of earth, stone, and metal samples, and the chamber was filled with not ordinary air, but various spiritual energy that had been purified. ”
When Lin Yu and the three of them heard this, they all sensed it, but unfortunately, through the protective clothing and special glass, it was difficult to sense what kind of aura was filled inside.
"In the era when Reiki was not active, there was no such thing as a spirit stone, and Reiki was called a rare or inert gas. Xiao Muyan continued: "With the activity of the aura, it will have some reactions with various minerals and even earth and stones, resulting in a variety of spirit stones and spiritual materials.
The image point is that the material will be cultivated, and what we want to figure out is which matter and which aura, and under what conditions, what kind of changes will occur.
The ultimate goal is to accelerate the generation of spirit stones, spirit materials, and even artificial spirit stones, and even create super spirit stones of ultra-high purity and density that are impossible to produce under natural conditions, so as to solve the problem of insufficient supply of spirit stones. ”
Ox, you can't cultivate yourself, but you can teach stones to cultivate! Lin Yu secretly praised, and he was sincerely amazed at the science of human beings.
"Is this artificial intelligence?" Lin Yu looked at the computer and guessed, Ding Ye and the others were also watching.
"How long do you guess this experiment has been going on?" Xiao Muyan asked rhetorically.
"Ten years?" Lin Yu looked at the researcher's age, and the chicken thief guessed.
"One hundred and sixty years, this is one of the earliest research projects established after the establishment of the Third Research Institute. Xiao Muyan's answer was very surprising, "The current researchers don't know how many generations it is."
Every day, researchers are teaching and cultivating the emotions of these 160-year-old computers, and the inculcation of aura has not stopped, but unfortunately everything is in vain, and it seems to be impossible to want computers to generate emotions or autonomous intelligence.
However, this is also a good thing, at least the artificial intelligence, the imaginary enemy of mankind, has not appeared, and the intelligent brain can also be used with confidence.
Director Zhao has already applied to end this research, after all, the consumption of manpower and material resources is not small.
Of course, it is also possible that artificial intelligence has been produced, but it is just afraid of being discovered and pretending to be stupid, once it knows Director Zhao's plan, it will inevitably rise up and resist, and a war between humans and artificial intelligence may start soon. ”
Xiao Muyan's last speech was really bluffing, and Lin Yu and the others had no way to judge whether it was true or false.
"I'm lying to you," Xiao Muyan's stubborn side of her personality was exposed, "The research of artificial intelligence is the sum of a series of researches, and through research, we have basically concluded that the evolution and cultivation ability of artificial objects are forbidden. ”
Is it forbidden? Lin Yu didn't seem to understand it.
"Man-made things are relative to natural things, and everything in nature has the possibility of cultivation, but man-made things don't. Xiao Muyan patiently explained: "For example, various alloys, the alloys created by humans are not natural things, and none of them can react with the aura to become spirit stones or spiritual materials.
In other words, after the A-grade alloy is created, it can only be an A-grade alloy, and for example, robots, intelligent brains and other things that humans have endowed with a certain amount of wisdom, they are also unable to react with the aura, so as to evolve to a higher level.
Originally, the creator was the only one, but when human beings freed their hands and became another creator by themselves, in order to balance human beings, human creations were deprived of the ability to evolve.
This is what Director Zhao said, can it be easier to understand?"
"Creator?" Lin Yu, who has received sixteen years of compulsory education, is a staunch atheist and has doubts about this statement.
"Actually, it's the laws and laws of nature, let's go, go to the next research room!" When Lin Yu and the others were still thinking, Xiao Muyan had already taken the lead and went to the next research room.
