Chapter 30: Awakening

Previous Chapter

I couldn't help but admire: "So, back in 2013, you created such a complete artificial intelligence." If it could have been four years earlier, it would have been possible to scare Mr. Hawking. ”

Wen Bing couldn't help but sigh: "Do you know that party too?" Actually, there is nothing to be proud of. If Yuyun is not confined to implanting artificial intelligence algorithms into the human body, but simply creates this pile of circuits, it should not be too late. In fact, I really couldn't beat you, an artificial intelligence that doesn't have the advantage of time nodes. ”

Wen Bing's modesty made me a little puzzled: "The means of going back in time is not complicated, but the complicated thing is to invent the kind of potion that is suitable for human beings. But if it is artificial intelligence, with the progress of algorithms in the future, other artificial intelligence will inadvertently realize time rewinding, isn't it a normal thing? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, but we don't know." Wen Bing's answer was very simple, presumably he had thought deeply about this kind of question a long time ago, "If any artificial intelligence algorithm is created in the future, what big data can be learned through it, and accurately predict what will happen in the future, it is likely that the machine has gone back in time, but humans do not know it." If you can't achieve 100% prediction accuracy, it may be that the butterfly effect is causing the change. Of course, the machine can also go back in time again and inform all possible outcomes. So the accidental provision of incorrect information is likely to be intentional on the part of the algorithm itself. ”

"I also want to ask you, if the phenomenon of memory coexistence has been confirmed, do you have someone you can trust to take the Huilin potion at the same time as him?"

Wen Bing thought for a while and said, "I don't know. Maybe I'll find the 2013 review. At that time, he was still very young, and the probability of my life reaching the end first in the future was much higher than his, so if I coexist with him in memory, my life experience will most likely be more complete than his. And the most important reason is that this kid, he is really trustworthy and smart enough. ”

"Huan Ping will be very relieved to know that you have such a high opinion of him. But the predecessors of the civil soldiers...... "After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't help but ask, "You have such a talent, a learning ability beyond ordinary people, and a depth of thought ahead of the times, but everything you have done in your life is just to get eternal life for yourself, isn't it too sad?" ”

Wen Bing shook his head: "Is there anything sad about this? What do you think is a scientist who has contributed to mankind in history, can you let him stand in front of me and tell me about his great achievements? ”

Hearing such a view, I couldn't help but get a little angry: "So are you historical nihilism or subjective idealism?" Anything anyone does, whether it's a scientist or an ordinary person, the butterfly effect is eternal and immutable. Everyone will step on their own footprints in the long river of history in their own way. This is the natural law of all things, so why cling to eternity? ”

"Neither. Young man, the problem is not as complicated as you think. What I said was, as expected, "I am simply afraid of death." And I think that the lower the fear of death, the shallower the depth of his thinking about death. All the clichΓ©s you just made were either told to me by a psychiatrist or I thought of them myself. But none of this is enough to convince me that these arguments do not address the fundamental issue.

The psychiatrists I debated with mostly ended up suffering from death phobia. Wearing the title of experts, they sat confidently in front of me like teachers who had a thorough understanding of life, and discussed with me the concept of life and death. But their self-confidence stems from not thinking deeply about death. They didn't really understand the problem until they met me. After meeting me, they couldn't argue with me, and they became more and more depressed, and finally, like ordinary psychiatrists, told me to exercise more, enjoy life, enrich myself, and avoid death anxiety. But my fears and anxieties are not what they say they are, on the contrary, they are just from my over-sanity and do not have any effect on my normal life. It's them, on the contrary, that I find pathetic. Isn't it more tragic to know that you will eventually die, and what you think of is not to use your limited life to change your own ending, but to use a fulfilling life to escape negative thoughts, and the root cause is your own lack of ability? ”

I don't think so: "They really don't have the ability to change their own destiny like you, but they may really not have the ability to pursue it." According to the law of the unity of opposites, contradictions are identical. If there is no sadness, happiness loses its meaning. Without sadness, happiness is the norm, and how do you know that this normality is not taken for granted? In the same way, it is the existence of "death" that gives meaning to "life". If there is no death, life is the norm. What you don't do when you're young, you can do it when you're old. What has not been done in a hundred years, you can wait for five hundred years to do it. Once the scale of time is eternal, it is only a matter of time for anyone else to achieve anything. Is there really any point in living without death? Once the time rewind is complete, all the choices are just an attempt. Even if you don't think about the course of history, but only think about yourself, does such a life really have any meaning at all? ”

"Completing this in itself is the greatest meaning of my life." Wen Bing still said in an extremely positive tone, "Contradictions are not only the same, but also the nature of struggle. The fighting nature of the contradiction between life and death is antagonistic. Isn't it a normal method to start with identity and eliminate the fighting nature of things? Child, I understand the philosophical theory of dialectical historical materialism very thoroughly. Many well-known psychologists in the profession have started to fear death after talking to me, do you have any advantages over them? If you don't want to be like that too, then don't spend too much time with me on this topic. A person's worldview and methodological theories built up through decades of accumulation will not change because of a dialogue. ”

"But Wen Bing, me and them, there is an essential difference." I still insisted on talking to Wen Bing.

"What is it?"

"I'm not going to die. They exhort you to accept death and face it squarely, and they are explaining to you that they too will die. I have the ability to go back in time, I can achieve eternal life, and what I have in me is the ability that you have been pursuing all your life. But I don't want to get that ability. If someone says that they are completely unafraid of death, it is impossible. It is because of this that I resist my ability to live forever. I don't want my life to become a lonely journey through hundreds of backtracks, and I don't want to lose the ability to make careful choices. In the face of a fork in the road in my life, it is difficult for me to abandon the ability to change my wrong choices. In the face of life and death, no one can be absolutely calm, and I am afraid that I do not have the courage to give up the opportunity to be born again. Originally, it was a journey that went with the flow, but now it gave me the power to choose life and death, and it was my greatest misfortune to turn a matter that I took for granted into a huge problem. Life is supposed to be a journey that accumulates enough clouds to form a beautiful twilight. I'm not a person who isn't afraid of death, but I really don't feel happy that I've gained this ability. ”

"From the heart?"

"From the heart."

After hearing this, Wen Bing fell into a long contemplation.

In the end, as if he had made some difficult decision, Wen Bing said three words to me: "Maltose." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? "I was confused.

These three words are a signal in my heart, and I have never said them to anyone since I was a child. I don't fully agree with you, but maybe it's a reassuring effect, or maybe it's that you can't change the experiments that prevented me, but I can accept to stop all of them. So, I want to ask you to do me a favor. Can you go back to the earliest time you can go back to, so that I can stop my research a few years earlier and enjoy my life? As long as you can say these three words, I will trust you unconditionally at that time. What year can you go back to at the earliest? ”

Show system.timestamp();

I called the function to query the time of the system, and after a little calculation, I said to Wen Bing: "November 1, 2016 afternoon time. How do I know if these three words you are saying have a deterrent effect on you in 2016? ”

Wen Bing explained to me: "I haven't said these three words to anyone. As long as you can say it, I will naturally understand that it is my own decision in the future. I wouldn't tell anyone these three words unless I trust them absolutely. Of course, this is just a request, and if you don't want to help me, I won't have any complaints. I have given up my wish for decades, and you have only given up people and things for three years, as a sincere request, I hope you will consider it. ”

On the grounds that I needed to think about time, I said goodbye to the civil soldiers and returned home.

For some reason, the perfect fulfillment of the mission did not bring me any pleasure. All the things that have happened these days, if you think about it, don't take much time. The exponentially inflated information shock, and countless ups and downs, left me with only the feeling of exhaustion.

As for whether Yongqi has gone back in time to today, it is still unclear. If it is the reason for the change of the name of the wrong memory of Yuyun caused by going back in time, then Yongqi, who was kicked off the circuit board by me today, should know the way to go back in time. He didn't use the ability of time to stop me, was it because he saw the ending of Wen Bing's calmly accepting to stop the experiment in another timeline?

And then there's everything I said to Wen Bing today.

Do I really not want eternal life?

Does eternal life really do more harm than good?

Am I really from the heart?

The more I think about it, the tighter my chest becomes, and it's so uncomfortable.

This immediately made me feel much better, but I didn't expect Yuyun to be able to take into account so many details. As an artificial intelligence, it is indeed a bit ridiculous to think too much about the concept of life and death of human beings.

But at least one thing is certain. This ability to go back in time can be above morality and law, and should not be acquired by anyone, let alone by egoistic people like civil soldiers. I firmly believe that I am doing the right thing.

As I lay in bed, the tiredness came over me, and soon I fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but just as I was sleeping soundly, my bed suddenly began to shake violently, which woke me up instantly.

"Still not getting up? Didn't you say that you would go to KTV today? ”

This is...... Software Sound ???

I got up in an instant and looked at it, this is not ...... Is my college dorm room???

I instantly felt confused: "Where am I, what time is it?" ”

After hearing my words, the software was instantly angry: "It's already eleven o'clock!" Do you still want to play? ”

"No, no, no, I'm asking, what date is today?"

The voice of the good people also came from his seat: "May 29, 2022. Alkanes, are you sleeping stupid? ”

What?

In 2022?

Am I dreaming? No, I should ask, when did I start falling asleep? I seem to have fallen asleep many times, what is wrong? When did I start falling asleep?

Wait a minute, wake up, it's like, everything that has happened so far, it's a dream, right?

Dream?

"Damn, I had a huge dream, I dreamed about a lot of things! I dreamed that you were made into human centipedes! ”

"Are you stupid?" Yongqi's familiar scolding voice came, "You watched the human centipede movie yesterday and looked stupid in your brain, right?" ”

"Software you're gay!"

Liangmin and Yongqi laughed directly from ear to ear: "This may be true hahahahaha!" ”

"And hahahahaha, I also dreamed that the water brother Huan Ping in the dormitory next door split into Ah Huan and Ah Ping, I didn't think it was strange at all in my dream hahahahaha!"

Wait......

What am I silly about?

It's obviously not a dream, is it? It's because someone has gone back to a timeline earlier than me, so I presented my own story in another timeline in the form of a dream!!

It's useless! The chip implant thing was also cleared. So it's back to at least 2016! That can only be ridden forever!

If it were directly back in 2013, Yuyun and Wenbing would not have parted ways, and Yuyun didn't know me at all, Wenbing's experiment had been completed! I've failed!!

I'm crazy! How could a person like Wen Bing change his life because of my words? I must have promised him some "maltose" message in the original timeline, and I don't know what this sentence means in his heart! Once I get back to any timeline where Eternal Rider hasn't been destroyed yet, things get completely out of control!!

Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll brush it up.

Going back in time can cause others to dream about things from other timelines. This conclusion is something I knew in my dreams. And then I now want to use this conclusion as a premise to prove that my dream is not a dream, it is something that really happened. Isn't this a typical circular argument?

But the reasoning process is wrong, and the conclusion is not necessarily wrong?!

Am I crazy? Why do I think so seriously and rigorously about a dream I have? I'm just a college student who doesn't know anything, right? Could it be that a dream has changed the way I think?

Whoever presents the evidence will give the proof, and how can I prove that it is not a dream?

Yongqi has the ability to time, and I can't get any information from him. And, at least nothing happened after 2016, right? Brother Shui doesn't know anything, right? How many memories does Yuyun still have?

What am I going to do? What else can I do? It's probably just a dream......

Sunday, May 29, 2022 Cloudy with showers

Today, alkanes seem to have had a very real dream, and then it's like a different person. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't respond when his roommate called him. We were a little worried about his mental condition, so the KTV didn't go either.

In the afternoon, as if he had thought of something, he rushed over and said that he wanted to see my diary, and it was a diary for October 14, 2020 and November 1, 2019. Although I didn't know why he wanted to read them, I allowed him to read only these two diaries after checking that they didn't contain any privacy.

But after watching it, he seemed a little disappointed, returned the diary to me, and went back to his seat to think about things.

In the evening, he told me that he felt like he had been through a lot of things in his dreams. He wanted to write down the dream in the form of a book and sort it out. The name of the book is -

"My roommate was made into a human centipede"

Come on!
