Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 702 The Arabian City Without Air and Oates the Iceman

The eyes of the two met in mid-air for half a second, and the man wrapped in black leather suddenly tilted his head.

The gloomy sense of prey on his face gradually disappeared like melting ice, and disappeared together with the expressions and emotions that belonged to humans; obviously the facial features had not changed, but now only the empty, transparent ones remained on the same face. Nothingness.

Lin Sanjiu came up with an idea for no reason: Even a person with a gloomy personality like a puppeteer still has a "human touch".

The "Puppeteer" on the opposite side sighed, looked down at her body, and carefully looked at the white lightning hair accessory pinned to the back of her head. "It's amazing how unexpected tasks that interrupted my day-to-day work turned into overtime."

This turned out to be a data body!

Lin Sanjiu's hair exploded, and he stood there in a daze.For a moment, she really didn't know which situation was worse for her: facing a programmed puppeteer with full firepower, or directly facing the data body itself.

If the former means danger and bitter struggle, the latter is the helplessness that makes people unable to even raise the idea of ​​​​resistance-no matter how hard you struggle and fight under such circumstances, it is meaningless and futile.

"Originally I was going to sneak attack you, but since you found out, then I think I have to continue to improve and deepen this devouring program," the data body still showing the appearance of a puppeteer muttered to himself. into the mind. "The current approach is simply too inefficient."

Improve?deepen?
Lin Sanjiu stood there in a daze. Maybe she looked too confused, but the data body thoughtfully explained to her: "Everything here is just a group of 'Arabic town data'. The current program design It must devour your own data program through the surface of the object in the picture, because it is relatively simple to write such a setting. But since it is not efficient, I have to devour you in another way."

I don't understand - do you want to run away?
A heart sank straight down, Lin Sanjiu moved slightly, but finally stopped.She swallowed dryly, and glanced at the big rock under her feet, faintly feeling that running away would be a waste of time.As long as the data subject is willing, it can appear in any place at will, so where can she go?
Why haven't the Supreme God and the gift bag come yet?
"Wait," she yelled involuntarily, "what will happen to me?"

"Become a character profile stored in our information database." The data body raised its head, and its eyes slowly turned pale: "When you find yourself able to see, walk, and speak again... …that’s when we recreated you based on data. Before that, you didn’t exist, just a set of silent data.”

Lin Sanjiu shuddered, staring at his feet, desperately thinking about how to get out.She has been standing here for a while, but the fusion of her body and the road seems to have paused.She had no idea what the other party was going to do next.

"Ah, it's almost there." The data body suddenly sighed, "It can start running."

what?
Lin Sanjiu was startled, her whole body tensed reflexively, and her consciousness circulated crazily; she brought all the surrounding scenery into her field of vision, for fear of missing a single change—but soon, the facts proved that all this It is useless.

This time it wasn't the pavement, nor the walls, that had begun to devour her.

She raised an arm and watched her fingertips start to spread like smoke; soon, her palm and arm disappeared, as if she was just a human form formed by the cloud.

"Air," the data body still raised its head, revealing the puppeteer's pale neck.He seemed to sense Lin Sanjiu's panic without even looking at it: "It takes a lot of effort to let the air swallow you. I hope I can finish this job soon."

"No, it's impossible," Lin Sanjiu couldn't even move his eyes away from his dissipated arm, and only shouted hoarsely: "This is the inside of a light filament in the data flow pipeline. There is no Air!"

"You're right," the data subject's voice was still flat.For Lin Sanjiu, this may be the end of life; but for it, this is just a small episode in today's work. "But you have forgotten that the data set of 'Arab cities' also includes the element of air. Can you find an Arab city that does not contain air? When the city is visualized, the air also appears together. You just can't see it."

It is very patient, almost answering every question.

As soon as Lin Sanjiu lowered her head, she almost couldn't restrain her fear—her pair of feet that had turned into boulders had long since dissipated completely; she was like a ghost without legs, floating floating in mid-air.Seeing more and more parts disappearing, she shouted with a bit of despair: "Wait a minute, wait a moment! Pause first, I have something to ask you!"

"Are you stalling for time?" the data subject raised his head and asked.

"I just have a few questions." Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead - she could no longer feel her limbs. "Haven't you heard of the so-called 'give me a clear death'?"

"It's not actually dead."

After a pause, the data subject finally lowered his head slowly, meeting her eyes. "If you have to use an analogy, it should be said that your life was frozen in an instant, just like Oates the Iceman. The difference is that you can still act again. The similarity is that your life and Oates' lives are the same. Can’t go on any longer.”

Maybe it's Lin Sanjiu's illusion, but the data bodies seem to be generally keen on "answering".This was true of the data body that tried to immigrate her, and so is this one.

"What do you want to ask?" The data subject tilted his head slightly, "It's better to hurry up, I have to go back to work."

There was nothing wrong with Lin Sanjiu, of course she just wanted to delay time.

"What, what job?"

"It's none of your business."

"Then—then have I seen you before?" She sighed secretly as soon as the question came out.

"No."

"Why must we be part of the information base?"

"The more the better."

She obviously didn't ask the right question, and the answers she got were too short; Teacher Yi also urged in a whisper in her mind: "You have to think of a question that will make it have something to say!"

Lin Sanjiu racked his brains, but he didn't know what questions to ask in order to hold the other party down and let the other party continue talking.The data body raised its chin slightly, as if it was about to start the "swallowing" procedure again; at this fatal moment, even she didn't expect a sudden light in her mind - it turned out that the "sudden light" was activated at the right time once.

Is it because 【No Coincidents Don't Make a Book】is still open all the time?The effects of these two special items stack?
"By the way," Lin Sanjiu hurriedly asked before he had time to think, "You said just now that you didn't expect to take so long to solve our task, right?"

"Yes." The data subject's jaw stopped, "So what?"

"You claim to have the answer to everything, the truth that can solve the ultimate question of the universe, so why can't you even predict this little thing?" Lin Sanjiu doesn't have to worry about whether his tone is mean, because the data body may be the most unpredictable thing. A "life" form of being irritated. "I thought you just didn't know how to make offspring. Now it seems that you don't know a lot."

The data body looked at her quietly for a while, and finally spoke slowly: "The answer to your question actually involves two elements."

Very good!
Lin Sanjiu almost made a sound out of excitement—obviously, its next answer would be a long speech.The longer the answer from the data body, the more likely the Supreme God and the gift bag will find her; now she has to find a way to inform the two of them of her location while the other party is talking...

"In some respects we have a certain resemblance to humans - not surprising, we have a certain resemblance to many forms of life. Like you, and many other intelligent beings, to us, There are also two types of unknowns, one is the 'known unknown' and the other is the 'unknown unknown'."

Lin Sanjiu quickly interjected: "I don't understand."

"For example, what kind of task will it take to solve the five of you and how long it will take to complete, this belongs to the 'known unknown'; in other words, I know what I don't know. Human beings often live in a kind of In the illusion of partially predicting the future, and invented many kinds of computing and statistical tools, such as the Gaussian bell curve. Human society is full of fallacious measurement and prediction methods, and the most fatal thing is that there is not enough computing power, so Among the billions—or even more—factors that may or may not have any bearing on the future, you cannot discern, you cannot calculate, hence the theory of chaos and the fact that the butterfly effect is so fascinating.”

"For the data body, although the 'known unknown' exists, it is just a problem to be solved. As long as we are willing, we can use an unimaginable amount of calculations to accurately calculate the position of a billiard ball on the table. The relationship between the trajectory and the rotation of a planet in outer space." The data body seems to use the most straightforward language, even Lin Sanjiu can understand its meaning: "So to answer your question briefly, I can say , I just didn't use the calculations in this area, so I didn't expect this unexpected task to turn into overtime."

It has said so much, why haven't the Supreme God and the gift package come yet?
"Then the unknown unknown refers to..." Lin Sanjiu asked bravely, hoping to delay a little longer.

"It's very simple, which means I don't know what I don't know." The data subject replied immediately, "So I can't give you an example."

"Just...that's it?"

"Yes, I believe I have answered your question." The data subject said quietly, "One thing I want to point out is that I have always understood why you are procrastinating."

Lin Sanjiu was taken aback.

"If you are waiting for your two companions, then I have to dismiss your idea. They will not come to you..."

"impossible!"

"Don't worry, listen to me. The reason they won't come to you is that they have already received Lin Sanjiu, and they are trying to find a way to get out of the light thread."

　This chapter really pissed me off. I could have finished it a long time ago, but when I wrote the part of the data body BB, because I wanted to show how big the "required calculation amount" is and how difficult it is for humans to complete, so I started flipping through the books—I clearly remembered that I just read a book about chaos theory a few days ago, but when I was about to use the book, I couldn’t find it, and I couldn’t even find it. I have an hour.Damn, in order to write a web article, I can be said to be very troublesome.And I lost my money, and I bought two more books in the process of looking for it...
