Chapter 39: The Pot and the Pillar

Shen Jiang sat upright in an armchair, and the huge magnetoencephalography scanner descended steadily along the slide of the stand and buckled onto her head.

"We're going to have to build a personal database for you." Shang Lu placed the console in the next room, separated from the electromagnetic shielded room by a wall, and there was a black one-way glass on the wall, "With the data output speed of 60 bits per minute in the general library, operating the giant machine will only look like a high paraplegic." โ€

"How do I build a personal library?" Shen Jiang's voice came out of the headphones.

"You can understand it as building an electronic Shen Jiang in a computer, to put it a little fashionably, this is called Cyber Ascension." Shang Lu explained, "It will include all the possible magnetic field activity of your brain when you are making calculations and decisions, and it will be a very large training set, and the AI algorithm trained on this dataset will be the most understanding robot in the world, knowing you better than anyone else - including your parents, family and the roundworms in your stomach." โ€

"I don't have roundworms in my stomach."

"Then tapeworms."

"There are no tapeworms either!"

"Hookworms, schistosomiasis, fasciola hepatica, amoeba, clonorchis sinensis, Clonorchis du Lismani, any kind of worm." Shang Lu said, "Anyway, it will know you very well, and it will know what you are going to pull when it understands that you haven't taken off your pants......"

"Then you'd better be faster." Shen Jiang interrupted him a little annoyed, "I agreed to cooperate with your work because there are orders from above, but in the end, we are in different positions, I am a giant machine pilot, with combat and training tasks, if you fail, you will be criticized and punished by your superiors at most, and if I fail, there will never be a superior again." โ€

"Sounds good." Shang Lu said.

Shen Jiang was stunned for a moment, "Sounds good." โ€

"The base will arrange a suitable training plan for you, you can freely choose whether to come in the morning or in the afternoon, or use the evening time, anyway, our whole office is for you." Shang Lu said, "You are the leader. โ€

"It's better to have an afternoon or an evening." Shen Jiang said, "I have had a lot of training subjects in the morning these days...... You have to deal with both the pot and the pillar. โ€

"Pots and pillars?"

"Pot Angel No. 013 and Pillar Angel No. 016." Shen Jiang explained.

"One against two?" Shang Lu was slightly surprised.

"Of course, you have to be strict with yourself when training, and be lenient with the enemy, it is not that there have been two angels coming at the same time in the past, of course, the pot and the pillar are not a very threatening enemy, unlike Bobo Xiaoxue, it is possible to have one enemy and two enemies, at least we humans judge it so." Shen Jiang puffed out his cheeks, "The Unreal Engine 3 can't fully reproduce the characteristics of angels, and this kind of training can only be said to be better than nothing." โ€

"What is the goal to achieve to complete the training subject?"

"Done?" Shen Jiang said, "It will never be completed, this thing is like a weight-bearing cross-country five kilometers, you can still continue to improve your performance after you are qualified, and the anti-advent training subject is a circular table, you have to practice it over and over again until a new angel appears, and then you can add subjects." โ€

"It's boring."

"My day is very boring." Shen Jiang complained, "This is not a game, and to be honest, there will be no such boring games in the world, you need to repeat the same action endlessly: aim - lock - punch, aim - lock - punch, aim - lock - punch, and repeat until muscle memory is formed, we have a conditioned reflex like Pavlov's dog, and when we see an angel, we aim and lock and punch." โ€

"It's as simple as that?"

"What's up? Do you still want to have a set of Hongjia iron fist and Gorou gossip stick in front of the angels? Shen Jiang asked rhetorically, "Supervisor...... Do I have to sit down like this? How long do I sit? โ€

"That's right, you can't move your head while scanning." Shang Lu nodded, "We estimate that it will take 1,000 hours to complete the establishment of the entire library, and if we ensure 6 hours of work per day, it will take a total of five months. โ€

"It's the end of October...... Five months later, in March of next year. Shen Jiang calculated, "My current duty at 151 will end in May next year at the latest, just in time." โ€

Shang Lu was silent for a moment, "Which base are you going to next?" โ€

"Go back to the rear to rest first, and the next shift may go to 161." Shen Jiang's tone was very brisk, "The premise is that there are no moths until May next year, you better pray that there will be no problems, in case another angel pops up, then we can't do anything." โ€

"How about 161 and 151?"

"161 is in Yibin, the scale is not as big as here, of course there are not as many people here, it is not nuclear power, so it is not very convenient to use electricity, I haven't been to 161 for a long time, I don't know what it is like now, the giant machinery currently stationed in 161 should be a mirage." Shen Jiang recalled, "There is a particularly young chief engineer over there at 161, who is just thirty years old, and he is as powerful as you. โ€

Shang Lu shrugged, "I can't be the chief engineer." โ€

"Sooner or later, you will." Shen Jiang is very determined.

"I can't afford that much responsibility." Shang Lu sighed, "The chief engineer, like the giant machine driver, is responsible for the life and death of all mankind in every decision, if such a huge pressure falls on my shoulders, I will die suddenly due to long-term insomnia." โ€

"No one can take on this kind of responsibility, there is no savior in this world, and you expect a person to be born destined to carry all the responsibility and pressure? There is no such thing. Shen Jiang wanted to shake her head, but her head was buckled by the scanner, she raised her hand and touched the shell of the scanner and put it down, "Everyone is hard-headed, you must recognize a fact - human society is essentially a fragile grass platform, no one is really reliable, when you sit alone in the cockpit of a giant machine, facing the angels who destroy the world, and the lives of 100 million people are behind you, who can you rely on?" โ€

"Don't you have a moment to escape?" Shang Lu asked.

"Superintendent, do you know what the first lesson is to become a giant machine driver?"

"What is it?"

"It's learning to acknowledge and face up to the fact that humanity is going extinct, and extinction is imminent."

Shang Lu realized that all the giant machine pilots were in such a situation, they were the ones at the forefront of the entire human society, facing death and destruction, and they had no way to retreat in such an environment.

"If you don't go up, you can change someone." Shen Jiang said, "Someone has to go up." โ€

You can run away, but there will always be someone who can't.

Shang Lu looked at the monitor on the operating table, Shen Jiang, as the Red Lotus driver, her brain activity frequency was obviously different from that of ordinary people, the unfiltered and processed waveforms were beating wildly on the screen, but she could raise her head and look into the shielded room, the girl sat motionless on the chair, half of her face was covered in the scanner, and she couldn't see such intense mental activity.

What an extraordinary person.

She was only twenty-eight years old.

"I'm not going to let it stab you." Shang Lu exhaled slowly, "This is one of the purposes of my here." โ€

"Superintendent?"

Shen Jiang didn't hear what he was saying.

"Ready, we're going to officially start the work of building the library, starting from the basics." Shang Lu said.

"How do you do that?" Shen Jiang asked.

Shang Lu slapped two thick books on the table of the operating table, one was "Riemannian Geometry" and the other was "Lecture Notes on Advanced General Relativity".

"Do the question."
