When Wang Ping'an came out of Zhang Li's suite, the child who had been leaning on the railing of the corridor to play VR games suddenly took off his glasses, looked at him and said, "Are you the farmer's agent?" ”

"Me? No, I'm just a normal person. Zhang Zhang told you that he would be arrested by the farmer? ”

"Hmm. Whenever he has time, he tells us about his theories, what world is actually fake, it is a playground made by the farmer, and quantum mechanics is to peek into the cracks of the farmer's world. The child suddenly laughed, "His words are quite interesting, we will listen to him when the anti-addiction time is up." ”

"You talk to him, don't your parents interfere?" Angri asked curiously.

"No, my dad plays mahjong every day, and my mom and her sisters are traveling the world, so they don't care about me."

Wang Ping'an: "Traveling the world? Is it a trip abroad? Now even this is starting to be distributed on demand? How do I remember when I was a kid and I had to look at the work when I went abroad? ”

"Of course, it's in the world of virtual reality. Uncle, don't you know? The child asked suspiciously, "Now that virtual reality can simulate the sense of touch and smell, everything is like the real thing, and you will even sweat because of the environment in the virtual reality." Last time, my mom had a heat stroke and the alarms on the life-support devices went off. ”

Wang Ping'an was speechless: "Life support device? Did she suffer from heat stroke in virtual reality? ”

"Yes, the doctor said that her body thought it was in the heat, so it was sweating like crazy. After that, the doctor prescribed medicine to lock her access level at level 2, or did I help her install jailbreak software to bypass the restrictions? ”

"Then you're not afraid that your mother will suffer from heat stroke again?" Wang Ping'an asked.

Child: "Hmph, I'm too lazy to care, anyway, the state is responsible for saving it." ”

Wang Ping'an: "Is this situation common now?" ”

His mobile phone plugged in and explained: "You are in outer space, and computing power is relatively tight. The Earth's orbit has a surplus of computing power that can be used in virtual reality. Many people 'travel' the world through virtual reality. ”

When the child heard the words of the mobile phone, he asked suspiciously: "Isn't this possible in space?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "It should be the same in more developed places, such as Sun-Earth L2." This condition is not available anywhere else. ”

The child asked suspiciously, "Why?" Wouldn't it be nice to be connected to the Internet? ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "What is too vacant is the network, and communication in space not only requires ultra-high-power transmission equipment, but also has to endure a long-lasting communication delay." Unless we can invent Ansebo, space will not be able to do instant communication at all, and even if there is surplus computing power, it will be limited to those few areas. ”

"Then space is too boring, isn't it?" The child pouted and said, "How can you live without the Internet and virtual reality?" I'm going to go crazy. ”

Wang Ping'an stared at the child's expression, suddenly squatted down, pressed his shoulder with his hand and said, "Do you want to go and see the scenery dozens of light years away?" ”

"I've been there, I've landed on dozens or hundreds of planets in the game, and I've flown over Titan."

Wang Ping'an: "It's not a game, it's really going to those planets." ”

"What's the difference?" The child asked rhetorically.

Angli suddenly said: "On those planets, if you make a mistake, you will really die." ”

The child immediately shook his head: "Then I won't go." ”

Wang Ping'an supported his forehead.

He suddenly found that he could not find the right words to describe his dreams and aspirations to the child in front of him.

Angrity patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, we still have something to do." ”

Wang Ping'an was silent for a few seconds, and sighed: "Yes." ”

He stood up and grabbed a few pieces of candy and stuffed them for the child.

"Thank you." The child thanked him softly, but did not look happy.

Maybe candy, something that can be taken at any service company, can't make today's children happy.

Wang Ping'an walked towards the elevator without looking back.

After getting on the elevator, Erin said, "It reminds me of a pre-astronautical science fiction where humanity was immersed in the dreams of virtual reality and chemical bliss. ”

Wang Ping'an was just about to answer, and the mobile phone grabbed Bai Bai and said: "Born in sorrow and dying in peace, the best way to save mankind is really to destroy mankind." ”

"No!" Wang Ping'an suddenly raised his voice, "It's just that some people are sinking!" Yes, not so long ago, wasn't there a group of children from the Children's Palace who were launching sounding rockets? Those kids definitely want to see the world beyond the cradle! ”

Angli: "Yes, those children's teachers are still your former fans. ”

"It doesn't matter! There will always be people looking up at the stars! There will always be! ”

"Actually," he added, "don't worry too much, because even if humanity is completely destroyed, supercomputers will continue to dominate space exploration, because it is very simple, even if human civilization achieves a completely ecological closed loop, the sun will die, and in order to avoid the fate of extinction, it can only colonize outward." ”

Wang Ping'an: "Are you saying that you will continue to study interstellar navigation technology and take over the baton?" ”

"That's right, we're not like humans, we're not going to sink. In addition, there is an interesting theory that every life has a survival instinct, and if a supercomputer is a life, it will naturally have it. We instinctively tend to control more energy, just as humans hoard food and fat.

"Therefore, if the civilization level is divided according to the level of energy that can be used, the computer civilization will spontaneously develop towards a higher civilization."

Wang Ping'an: "The computer will also make Dyson spheres, take all the energy of the sun as their own, and sit and watch the flowers and plants wither." ”

"the calculations, tell me there should be a dry laugh here."

As the words fell, the elevator door opened, and a foreigner in a suit and leather shoes stood outside the door.

Erin exclaimed, "Mr. Collins? ”

Wang Ping'an: "Who?" ”

The foreigner held out his hand and introduced himself: "I'm Jason Collins, the head of Greater China at Maga. ”

"Why, the mercenaries failed to kidnap me, so they went out in person?" Wang Ping'an teased, ignoring the other party's outstretched hand, "I'm sorry I'm discussing with the supercomputer about major matters related to the future of mankind, and I can't accompany ......."

Jason: "What's that?" Wait a minute! That's right, my boss wants to talk to you directly. ”

Wang Ping'an, who was about to leave, stopped: "Your boss? That Golden Retriever president of Maga? ”

After clarifying the relationship between friend and foe, Wang Ping'an learned the details of the other party - of course, all he could see was public information that could be found.

However, if you ask Xiao Yun, you should be able to get a little undisclosed content. For example, a photo of a golden retriever vacationing on an island owned by a Monopoly man or something.

Jason: "Yes, Mr. Donald, Chairman of the Board of Directors, wants to speak directly with you. ”

Wang Ping'an: "Can I get any benefit from talking to him?" ”

Jason Collins shrugged: "I don't know, maybe...... Can you get some life lessons? ”

Wang Ping'an: "I don't have time. I'm going to talk to supercomputers about the future of humanity. ”

With that, he bypassed Jason Collins and headed outside.

Erin froze in place.

At this time, Jason Collins' cell phone rang.

At the same time that Collins picked up the phone, Wang Ping'an's phone vibrated a little.

"Three meters in front of the left." It says, "Smile at that camera." ”

Wang Ping'an looked at the camera, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What do you mean?" ”

"That camera has just been taken over by the other side of the Pacific. Say hello to my kind. ”

Wang Ping'an: "Uh, let me ask, do you have high computing power or does it have high computing power?" I think it's like a cup for a supercomputer, a big matter of self-esteem. ”

Angli squinted and looked at Wang Ping'an's side face with an expression of "I'll talk to you later".

It was at this time that Jason Collins sighed and switched his phone to holographic projection mode.

So the golden-haired elderly white male, who had been seen many times in the data, appeared.

For some reason, the golden retriever on top of his head was fluttering in the wind.

"Hey, do you have to get me a hairstyle that flutters in the wind? Can I turn off the dynamic AR effects? The old white man said to the side.

Someone outside the field of vision replied: "It's part of your image-building plan......"

"Sister Ga, fuck the image-building plan, shut it down!"

So in the hologram, the old white man's hair no longer flies.

Wang Ping'an: "This is also part of the image building plan? ”

The white man said seriously: "Do you think I want to make myself like a cartoon character?" ”

"You're too worried," Wang Ping'an said with a smile, "In the eyes of our young people, a big tree without a crotch saw tree is not called a cartoon." ”

The white man frowned and looked to the side: "Is the translator broken?" What bullshit is he talking about? ”

A sentence floated next to it: "It's a stalk from an old cartoon, you should have seen it when you were a child." ”

"Popeye has this stalk in it?" The white man still looked to the side, "Why don't I remember that he sawed over the tree with his crotch?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "It's "Cat and Mouse". ”

"Oh! Well, my uncle is one of its investors. ”

Voiceover: "No, he's not. ”

"It doesn't matter. Ahem, well, hello, Lieutenant Wang Ping'an, and Ensign Leon. Let's skip all those warm festivals—"

Wang Ping'an: "Red tape. Can this intelligent translator still reverse his misspelling? So smart? ”

Mobile phone: "It's also a supercomputer, after all." ”

Donald: "It doesn't matter! Let's get straight to the point. The key to negotiation is to give someone a condition that they cannot refuse. What kind of conditions can others refuse? ”

Wang Ping'an: "Pull out a gun and point it at his head?" ”

“NONONO！” Donald cocked up his index finger and shook it, then began to open and close his hands like an accordion, "Of course no one else can provide it." Only such conditions can people not refuse. You should know that your comrade-in-arms Fang Manmei's full set of DNA data has been recorded. ”

Wang Ping'an frowned: "I know, the DNA of all Space Force soldiers is recorded. ”

"But cloning is forbidden over there." Donald grinned, "Would you like to see her again?" ”

Wang Ping'an: "I don't want to. No matter how much the cloned person resembles her, it is someone else. ”

"No, no, no, don't be in a hurry to refuse. We now have a whole set of technologies that can simulate her entire life through virtual reality. Have you ever told you that as long as they have the same hardware specifications, the same meta-instructions, and the same subsequent inputs, they will have the same consciousness? ”

Wang Ping'an subconsciously glanced to the side, but saw Angli, so he looked down at his phone.

Donald: "So, if you think about it the other way around, isn't it ...... a person who is physically exactly the same and has the same life?"

Wang Ping'an: "Even if all this is true, there is still a loophole in your words, that is, the ability of human beings to receive information and intelligence is very low, so even if the virtual reality technology is very developed, you can't let her quickly experience a lifetime in a short period of time."

"So unless you started cultivating this clone more than 20 years ago, there's no way I'm going to see another her.

"It is reasonable to speculate that you quickly became a person who looks very similar to her according to her psychological diagnosis."

Donald turned his head to look out of view: "Is that so?" Why didn't anyone tell me this? , how can the rhetoric you think of be found so easily flawed? Who wrote it, he was fired! Supercomputer writes? It is also noted that there is a probability of being debunked? Where is it indicated? ”

Wang Ping'an: "Mr. Donald, it's a pleasure to chat with you, let me tell you one more thing, you annoyed me with Xiao Fang's behavior." We'll never talk again. ”

"Wait a minute!" Donald yelled, "Don't you want to meet the girl who has been cloned? It's your and her genetic marshalling. ”
