At this moment, Gu Tie is driving on Highway 678, although it is autumn, the sun at eleven o'clock at noon in Poland is still radiating heat, he stretched out his hand to turn on the air conditioner, the electric compressor began to refrigerate, and the air outlet sprayed a pleasant cool breeze.

The call to his adoptive father was transferred to voicemail, which did not surprise Gu Tie, and at eleven o'clock on a weekday, the gray-haired Dr. Bartholomew must still be busy in his office, although the Chinese do not know what the adoptive father's current work is—in fact, Bartholomew has never shared his research topic with his son—but must be buried in front of the terminal screen dealing with a large string of code. Since his adoptive father sent him to China when he was a teenager, Gu Tie and Dr. Bartholomew have rarely communicated with each other, and like most fathers and sons in the world, there is a deep bond of love between father and son, but also a deep natural barrier, and the phone was not connected, which made Gu Tie breathe a sigh of relief.

The adoptive father is a high-level member of the GTC, and although he has left the power seat of the GTC's twelve-member executive committee, Gu Tie has no doubt that the old man still has a strong appeal and hidden rights. Did Bartholomew participate in the manufacture of a tiny quantum computer? Did he know about the doomsday code revealed by irrational numbers? Could the "Red Brotherhood" have anything to do with him? These thoughts flashed in Gu Tie's heart, knowing that the possibility was great, but he didn't want to think about it or dare to think about it.

Route 678 is a two-way, four-lane semi-enclosed expressway, and there are not many cars on the road, and Gu Tie maintains a slow and leisurely cruise at 80 kilometers per hour. A sign flashed out the window, only 40 kilometers from Warsaw, and it seemed that you would be able to reach the mermaid city before lunch. Gu Tie stretched out his hand and pressed a few times on the touch screen, calling up the automatic control menu of the vehicle, the autonomous driving project called "Fast Europe" has been implemented for many years, and 30% of the passenger vehicles in the entire European continent are equipped with automatic driving functions composed of quantum network terminals, GPS chips and road traffic interaction equipment, but in Poland, where the economy is not developed, only luxury vehicles produced in recent years like 48 Grand Cherokee are equipped, "Very good." The automatic control item display can be turned on, and the Chinese nodded, set the destination, speed, avoidance mode, automatic reminder of traffic jam and other parameters on the screen, and turned to automatic driving.

The driving attitude of the electric Cherokee was adjusted imperceptibly, the autopilot function was activated, Gu Tie released the steering wheel and accelerator, and watched the steering machine continue to fine-tune the direction, and the car cruised smoothly in the slow lane. Now he can find some time to do one important thing: for him, who does not know Polish, the first communication problem to be solved, of course, there is only one solution, to turn to the almighty quantum network, regardless of the attitude towards GTC, no one can deny that "Genesis" has brought countless possibilities for the future of mankind.

Twenty minutes later, a rudimentary real-time translation system was formed, in which Gu Tie used two important interactive components, one was used to input the sound signal received by the auditory nerve from reality into the implanted terminal, and the other was used to adjust the input ratio of the virtual visual signal from the implanted terminal and the realistic visual signal from the optic nerve.

It's complicated, in fact, the principle of the system is very simple, when the people around him say something that they don't understand, Gu Tie's auditory nerve transmits this sentence to the implanted terminal, and the terminal digitizes it and inputs it into the network to get the translation result, and the translation result is displayed in front of Gu Tie's eyes in text form. The so-called "in front of the eye" is not the image on the retina, but the virtual and real visual signals overlap at the optic nerve, and the data information is suspended above the real field of vision, which actually constitutes an augmented reality system. A few years ago, Google launched a novelty called "GoogleGlass", which is an augmented reality device that uses glasses to project information. He thinks that the real augmented reality should be like the Devil Terminator, which will crackle and pop up a piece of information on the head of the person when he sees it, and now that he thinks about it, this topic is not difficult to achieve at all, and the implanted chip still has a lot of potential to expand. Gu Tie decided to study it when he had time.

He finished the translation system, blinked his eyes, and a blank text box appeared in the upper right corner of the field of vision, because it was directly projected on the visual center, he could see this unsightly white frame hanging there when he closed his eyes, "I guess it will affect my sleep a little at night, so I must remember to turn it off." Gu Tie muttered to himself, stretched out his hand to turn on the radio, changed a few channels, and found an FM radio station that broadcast news.

As the male announcer quickly reported a piece of news, the field of vision began to scroll the results of instant translation, and the translation language was of course the Chinese he was most familiar with. “...... On September 28, a serious medical accident occurred in the hospital of Zavak Town, a small town in southern Poland, where the doctor mistakenly pierced the baby's head with a needle when delivering the baby after drinking, and the baby was confirmed to be stable after examination, and the parents of the infantile who had been enraged took the gynecologist to court, and the police tested the doctor's blood alcohol content of 2.0/mg, which is a drunken state. Gynecologist faces up to five years in prison, court says ......"

"What a thing. The news made Gu Tie laugh dumbly. It seems that Polish translation into Chinese is fine, and then we need to solve the problem of speaking. He thought about using bioelectricity to control the muscle contraction of the lips, teeth, larynx, tongue, and vocal cords, and directly control his own generation system to speak foreign languages, but just think about it, this is too large a system project.

"Hmm, what to say?" he thought for a moment, "Well, say, 'Uncle, have you eaten it?' Is this bottle of Erguo head 56 degrees or 62 degrees?'"

As soon as the mind moved, the Chinese text of this sentence was entered into the terminal, and then the Polish sentence expressed in the form of the International Phonetic Alphabet appeared in the text box, and the demonstration pronunciation sounded in the ears at the same time. This is a stupid method, but as long as you avoid saying too long sentences, temporary emergency is enough, Gu Tie opened his mouth and said: "Desai is hard, and the earth dog can be ...... during the race" With his language talent, as long as the pronunciation is demonstrated in the front, except for the small curly tongue of the personality, everything else has been learned, and after muttering a foreign language that he couldn't understand for a long time, Chinese nodded with satisfaction, "Qi is alive." ”

Didi's warning sounded, the Cherokee just reached the end of autonomous driving, the "Fast Europe" project aims to liberate drivers driving on highways and intercity expressways, once they reach the end of the expressway, autonomous driving will be forcibly lifted, the results of the European Road Safety Commission and GTC research show that the efficiency of autonomous driving in complex urban road conditions is much lower than manual driving, - you have to drive yourself when you enter the city.

Gu Tie took over the steering wheel and accelerator and lined up to enter a checkpoint, where the blue-uniformed staff stopped the petrol and diesel vehicles one by one, handed out eco-friendly pamphlets to the drivers, and then made the poor regular-powered cars turn around and leave. The electric Cherokee passed the environmental inspection and exited the checkpoint with the historic city of Warsaw in front of it.

Gu Tie has a good impression of this city that has been destroyed by war many times and has risen many times, entering the city from this direction, what he saw was a modern skyscraper, the greenery was very good, the streets were clean, but there was no sense of history, and when the car drove on the highway bridge over the Vivas River, he saw a red spire full of medieval style on the other side of the river across the city, Gu Tie felt the charm of the ancient city of Warsaw.

The car stops at Zamkeyo Square, where the city of Warsaw has banned vehicles from entering the city walls of Warsaw's Old Town since a few years ago, and from here it is necessary to walk or take a small electric tour bus. Gu Tie was not in a hurry to go straight to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, he parked his car in the parking lot of a hotel, paid the parking fee, walked into Zamkeyo Square, and found an open-air café to sit down. In the middle of the square stands a tall statue of a cross in the middle of the square, the founder of Warsaw, the Polish Emperor Zegomont III, who moved the Polish capital from Krakow to Warsaw at the end of the 16th century.

"Coffee. What do you recommend for lunch?" snapped his fingers, and Gu Tie greeted the waiter in Polish, which he had learned and sold.

"Cabbage soup with egg and sausage, tonkatsu, crepes, cheese, this is today's recommendation, sir. The coffee will be delivered soon, it's hot today, why don't you have a glass of our own dark beer?" the middle-aged waiter diligently wiped down the coffee table.

The translation system is working well, and the translated text appears in front of Gu Tie's eyes, "It's all up to you." Stout, who can say no to stout?" he ordered with a smirk of smirk.

The coffee is acceptable, the dark beer is mellow, and the Warsaw cuisine is lackluster. After a little lunch, the Chinese coded in an augmented reality interface to capture several surveillance probes in the center of Warsaw's old city and observe the situation around the destination. "It's long overdue, it's true, although the work efficiency of entering the 'Pure Land' is very high, but personal safety is not guaranteed, so you should turn a blind eye to it, and work and study at the same time. He muttered a few words to himself, turning on the camera frame in the upper right corner of his field of view. Tourists were bustling with tourists, nothing out of the ordinary, facial recognition programs didn't find suspicious faces, at least the group of Japanese people who had been seen at the Bialystok train station didn't appear around the Basilica of the Holy Cross.

Gu Tie beckoned to check out, dug into his pocket, and found a stack of prepared change in his pocket. The clothes on his body were part of Ed's stockpile, not only were they branded to prevent tracking, but each pocket and trouser pocket contained emergency small bills, and the corners of the jacket were sewn with all kinds of gadgets, perfect for sliding doors and lockpicking.

Walking slowly towards the destination, Gu Tie casually bought a pair of sunglasses at a street stall and put them on, put them in his pocket with his right hand and held the handle of the pistol. Just around the corner, you can see Warsaw's famous Krakow Street, where the "Royal Road" is filled with palaces, government offices and churches, and of course, the obscure Basilica of the Holy Cross is waiting for you.
