doomsday exile

Huaxia Shangdu, an underground base.

Professor Xia opened the email from the Earth Federation and narrowed his eyes in relief.

The second Jili successfully passed the test and stayed on the Eden space station.

If... If the meteorite is really unstoppable, the Eden space station is the Earth Federation government in exile in space.The survival of human beings is the first priority, and the continuation and preservation of Chinese civilization is also very important. The great man said well, if unity is sought through struggle, unity will survive, and unity will perish if unity is sought through compromise.

Professor Xia is relieved here, but in the video communication opened over there, another old man said to Professor Xia worriedly: "I'm worried that after Ji Li meets Yan Long, the two of them will be at odds again."

"Old Zhang, you think too much, they have this measure."

Professor Xia took off his presbyopic glasses and said with a smile, "You know Yan Long's character, but Ji Li will pretend not to see anything."

"You!" The old man's eyes widened and he said angrily, "I thought you were going to say that they have a clear mind and know that the national interest is the first... But you just said that?"

Professor Xia shook his head: "This is also a fact, but I'm talking routine, you must not worry."

Then the two laughed across the screen.

The person called Lao Zhang by Professor Xia is Professor Zhang Xun, the person in charge of the restart project of bionic neuron technology.

He is an old colleague and classmate of Professor Xia, and the experience of the two of them for most of their lives is almost exactly the same.

Smiling and laughing, Professor Xia stopped, sighed and said, "I never thought that there would be such a day, I couldn't think about it..."

"I think he just thinks too much and his brain is too active." Zhang Xun said angrily.

The old Tian they were talking about was the person in charge of the secret research institute of the Qifang Group who was arrested in Banggang. He was also the one who leaked information about the bionic neuron technology. There were no dire consequences.

This time I found Lin Beitang, and found that this person went to Norway as early as the beginning of November. It is speculated that on the one hand, he may have avoided the impact of the chaos in the business capital, and on the other hand, he was aiming at "seven countries bringing AI to the earth." Commonwealth" matter.

This matter is highly confidential in China, but it is hard to say in the other six countries, especially with the energy of Lin Beitang, the high-tech circles that can be accessed, I am afraid that there have been similar rumors long ago, and the company responsible for manufacturing AI can't wait to be in The industry promotes its own technology.

The matter of taking Ji Li to the Earth Federation was decided a month ago, and the time was deliberately brought forward to go by sea.

"...Just after we revealed that the AI ​​this time is Ji Li, the ship was attacked."

Zhang Xun said with a serious expression, "It took the other party 24 hours to lock on the relevant ships and dispatched an attack team, which shows that they were well prepared."

Professor Xia frowned slightly: "Didn't you say that several ships were attacked by marine life?"

"Only our ship witnessed the unusual creature. This is the video, you see." Zhang Xun opened a video file, and there was a small screen under the projection. From the picture, it was installed on the side of the ship. Captured by the camera.

Among the waves, a dolphin-like creature appears and disappears.

Streamlined body, smooth and beautiful spine and dorsal fin, very powerful tail.

Suddenly it jumped up and slammed its head against the ship's side—huge eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth, just like a mutant dolphin infected with a deformed virus in a film and television work, with quick movements and fierce eyes.

If someone falls into the water, it will definitely swallow it one by one.

The monster swam around the ship's side and made several attacks.

When the bullets hit the water, it nimbly dodged them, and did not escape until finally hit by an armor-piercing bullet.

——In the eyes of others, this is a deformed and mutated dolphin, but in the eyes of scientists, it is definitely a long-extinct ichthyosaur.

Professor Xia and Zhang Xun are engaged in bio-imitative neuron technology, and they can be regarded as half biologists, and they are very familiar with the early life on the earth.

The video only had pictures but no sound. Professor Xia asked keenly, "Is there something wrong with the monster's cry?"

Zhang Xun was a little surprised, but not too surprised.

"That's right, the voice of this ichthyosaur is very special, like a baby crying, very ear-piercing."

"High-frequency sound waves!"

Professor Xia sighed.

The Shan Hai Jing and Chinese mythology often describe monsters crying like babies. In fact, they are not really crying like children, but are just describing the harshness.

"Yes, the people who came into contact with it reported dizziness, and the equipment confirmed that it has the ability to emit ultrasonic waves... I don't know if this is a natural ability of ichthyosaurs, or it was modified." Zhang Xun said with a heavy tone.

In the permafrost of Siberia, only the body of Dilophosaurus was found, and there may be a small dromaeosaurus - after all, it is too small, it is possible that it was hidden during the excavation or discovered later - but there is absolutely no ichthyosaur!

There are quite a lot of fossils about ichthyosaurs, but where did Lin Beitang get the ichthyosaur genes?

You know, strictly speaking, ichthyosaurs are not dinosaurs, they can only be regarded as relatives of dinosaurs.

It survived and multiplied in the ocean, appeared earlier than dinosaurs, and became extinct at the same time as dinosaurs. It has lived on the earth for nearly [-] million years.Its skeletal structure and evolution process are not secrets, but there is no exact information on the soft tissues in the body, and the vocal structure just falls into this category.

There are many types of ichthyosaurs, and only a few of them are found in fossils.

As the ichthyosaurs in the video gradually receded, a figure approached the side of the boat tentatively, for comparison.It can be concluded how big the monster that attacked the ship was.

"Ten meters?"

"Yes, about 12 meters, not a particularly huge ichthyosaur."

Among the discovered ichthyosaur fossils, the longest record is more than 20 meters.

"That's not too small. It's not easy to send people out, so I'm frightened." Professor Xia sighed.

Just as Zhang Xun was about to nod, he said angrily, "The feedback I received was that Ji Li turned over when the ship was attacked, and then continued to sleep."

Professor Xia laughed: "What? You still expect him to take the lead in solving problems like Yan Long? Ji Li doesn't have this character, you know it better than me."

Zhang Xun sighed for a long time, and said wearily, "Lao Xia, I always feel that we are the ones who delayed Ji Li."

"...Because No. [-] absorbed the thoughts of the members of the experimental group?"

Professor Xia's expression became serious, "That's not the case, you are too stubborn, experiments have proved that whoever has a strong emotional will for the 'perfect body', the 'perfect body' will receive this information. In No. [-]'s birth experiment, no one had a deeper affection for No. [-] than your team, so the other groups all failed."

Zhang Xun paused, and said with a wry smile: "Old Xia, you don't know, just two days ago, the No. [-] completed body was born in the Kunlun base."

"what?"

Professor Xia stood up in surprise.

The Kunlun base located in the northwest of China is the place where the spacecraft is built. Unlike Yan Long, the second and third are all for spacecraft research.

Zhang Xun said with a bitter expression: "No. [-] is very successful, very energetic, very proactive and obedient, and I don't know other information yet."

Professor Xia seemed to have remembered something, and asked solemnly, "Is there anything wrong with Kunlun Base?"

"What could happen?" Zhang Xun reacted slowly, and quickly explained, "No, it's a normal trigger, not a sacrificed brain wave."

Professor Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "That's great."

Seeing the puzzled look in his old friend's eyes, Professor Xia came to his senses. He sat back on the chair and said excitedly, "Lao Zhang, the problem of Yan Long's disagreement with Ji Li can be resolved."

"Ah?" Zhang Xun looked bewildered.

"Oh, you are so confused, don't you know why Yan Long rejects Ji Li?"

"..."

Of course it's Ji Li's character, otherwise?

Professor Xia shook his head again and again.

Yan Long's mood fluctuated for three whole days, of course there was a deeper reason.

Although Professor Xia didn't understand at the time, and thought the situation was a bit funny, but afterwards, thinking that Yan Long was not a person who lost his temper casually, so he thought about it carefully, and it was broken.

"Yan Long really doesn't like Ji Li, but they are indeed the same kind. What do you think Yan Long will think?"

Professor Xia didn't wait for the old friend to answer, and told him the answer directly, "He will think, is his character generated by chance, or is it destined! If it is the latter, Ji Li who came out of the laboratory has not encountered any danger, maybe he will work hard. Life is all about his 'consciousness', and 'survival' and 'protection of comrades-in-arms' are things engraved deep in Yan Long's consciousness."

"This……"

Zhang Xun thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be the truth.

Professor Xia said with a melancholy expression: "If this guess is correct, it means that Yan Long might have changed into Ji Li's character. After all, they are most likely to come into contact with people in the laboratory."

Zhang Xun was dumbfounded, and Yan Long realized that he almost became like Ji Li, so he was even more angry?

"If that's all it is, it's not that bad."

"what?"

Zhang Xun thought to himself, could there be a deeper layer?

Then he came to his senses and said in a low voice, "You mean—"

"That's right, there is a huge gap between Yan Long and Ji Li. Yan Long is more like a real person. There is one biggest difference between them..."

The scientists did not die, and Yuan Zhongxia's team all died.

"Yan Long's willpower is very tenacious. He always likes to continuously improve his strength and learn more things... But after meeting Ji Li, his mood fluctuated for three days, and then he became more focused and diligent in learning. This is the burden in his heart, just like every one of us, people have to think about questions like 'where do I come from' and 'why am I', and Yan Long is no exception."

Professor Xia said in a low voice, "So he rejects Ji Li and doesn't want to see No. [-]. Ji Li's existence makes Yan Long feel the 'heavyness of life'. He must work harder and complete more tasks to be worthy of this life. Weight... At the same time, he is even more lonely, although Captain Yuan, I and many people are by his side, but these all remind him of this fact."

Zhang Xun was tongue-tied.

Would Yan Long think so much?

Zhang Xun was used to Ji Li's silence, and after being analyzed by Professor Xia, he fell into a trance.

"However, the sacrifice of those team members is not Yan Long's responsibility." Zhang Xun murmured.

"It's to protect him."

"...that's the mission."

Professor Xia didn't speak.

Zhang Xun slowly noticed the strangeness here, he suddenly looked up at Professor Xia, his voice trembling: "This guilt is also yours, right? Lao Xia, you can think of this because you regret that the project team was disbanded and we didn't work harder , that led to what happened next?"

The completed body of Biomimetic Neuron No. [-] was abandoned, the project was shelved, and the meteorite crisis was imminent. The competition for survival in various countries was urgent, so the higher authorities decided to take out No. [-] and exchange it for useful technology.

Then--

"After all, I am the project leader, responsible for the entire project.

"That's how people are. Every late at night, they will feel a strong sense of guilt for what they didn't do well and what they couldn't do better."

Even if I try my best, even if it's not my responsibility, I can't control this emotion.

Professor Xia said sadly: "So I understand Yan Long, I am happy that he has such rich and completely human-like emotions, and feel sad because he is too human-like, so sometimes I envy you, but Ji Li does not Such a situation."

"..."

Is this a high emotional intelligence statement that fools live happier lives?

"But not now." Professor Xia changed his tone and said with relief, "Recently, Yan Long's mood has improved a lot. He really needs a 'similar' partner, that is, the kind that will not be recognized as an 'independent existence', but And truly a 'person' with independent thinking ability."

Ghost!

Professor Xia has many expectations for Lu Di, and these expectations were originally based on Yan Long's changes.

And the ghost itself is a very special existence, worthy of attention.

"I've thought before that to unravel Yan Long's knot, unless the bionic neuron No. [-] is 'successfully' born! So now as long as it is proved that No. [-]'s character is a personal problem of No. [-], it is a random phenomenon, then from Ji Li The burden that lingered in Yan Long's heart since he appeared can be let go, and he won't reject Ji Li so strongly."

Professor Xia smiled and said to Zhang Xun, "You may be the one who has such a headache. This shows that Ji Li has feelings, but he just doesn't want to express them. You have to think about why. Zhang, he started to study psychology at the age of 60. , it's not too late."

Zhang Xun was so angry that he hung up the video communication.

The author has something to say: No. [-] has not appeared in a scene for a long time

The new year is coming, the two protagonists are not out today, let's perform a cross talk

--------

Lu Di: I think there are many things in the world that are interlinked

Yan Long: For example?

Lu Di: Just like Hu Qin and Jiang Yu, they are free and can live without Lu Yun, but they dare not learn from me, why?They didn't know what to do, and they were afraid that they would be finished if Lu Yun died.This is not the same as the current situation. Human beings have the ability to leave the earth, there are space stations and spacecraft, but no one knows what the future will be like. The earth is everyone's common interests and bottom line.

Yan Long: You think a little far

Lu Di: So I learned a high EQ speaking skill (cough) Jiang Yu, although you are annoying and stupid, you are a conscientious moneymaker, much better than America.Huqin, you are the one who can really solve things, better than the UN, and who, although you like to gossip, you are not a shit-stirring person, and all of you, although you fight all day, no one wants to leave the EU

Yan Long: Are you really sure this is a high EQ speech?i think you're going to be beaten

Lu Di: Hey, they can't beat

Yan Long: What high EQ, just talking with fists in hand

Lu Di (patting the table): Look, haven't you also matched reality!Big fist, strong strength!Whoever lags behind will be beaten.

Yan Long: If you say that, then I have discovered the biggest bug in the world

Lu Di: What?

Yan Long: The earth sensed the crisis, and a super protector should be born, smashing the meteorite with one punch.

Lu Di: Then why not?

Yan Long: Meteorites will not destroy the earth, they will only destroy human civilization. The earth is just hit once, and it hurts for a while. After thinking about it, the earth feels that it is too difficult to engage in superpowers.

Lu Di: Good guy, isn't this just salted fish!The earth says I will lie down, you can smash it casually, if you can smash it through, I will lose
