doomsday exile

"...The energy input figures of the main computer room are slowly increasing!"

"If you sleep normally, Yan Long's body's need for energy will be minimized. Do I need to report the current situation?"

Professor Xia pondered for a while, then waved his hand decisively: "Wait a little longer."

Everyone fell silent, staring at the screen with bated breath in the laboratory.

The so-called host room is the room where a certain "big jellyfish" is placed.

Under Professor Xia's strong insistence, the main computer room is still closed, no one enters or exits, only the instruments faithfully record abnormal data one by one, and then transmit them to the laboratory for analysis and supervision by everyone.

It would be a lie to say that you are not in a hurry or nervous.

In fact, after knowing that Yan Long might be "dreaming", the entire scientific research team was boiling.

Just like what Professor Zhang Xun from No. [-] Jili thinks, biological AI can't dream. Even if Yan Long behaves like a human again, his "brain" is still composed of some components in essence. There should be no "other thoughts" where an order needs to be executed.

Dreams are the continuation of thought.

Everything that appears in the dream is based on "memory". It is the memory of the external environment and one's own experience, and it is also the brain's secondary processing of fragmented information. It is completely spontaneous and even out of self-control.

If you go deeper, there are also psychological reasons.

Now the scientific research team doesn't care whether the dreaming is caused by physiological or psychological reasons at all, because the fluctuation data recorded by the instrument are already infinitely close to the brain wave patterns of human beings when they dream.

Whether it is the Earth Federation or the United States, or the artificial intelligence AI developed by other countries, this will never happen.

If everyone was just happy at first, then they were shocked by the pictures of the equipment in the main computer room.

——The body of the "jellyfish" that was silent in the dark deep sea slowly shrank, and when it unfolded again, the positions and shapes of some components were slightly different.

It's very subtle, and if you look at it for a layman, you may not be able to find it if you stare at it for 10 minutes.

But to Professor Xia and the entire scientific research team, this thing is like the electronic components that make up a computer. Even if they look similar, they can install them in any arrangement or even in any order with their eyes closed.

Not to mention that they have been researching a new topic for the past few days, that is, "conjecture on the application of the prototype structure of the siphon jellyfish in other fields". They really open their eyes and look at the model. Can't be mistaken.

"This variation of the elements of the seventh and ninth groups..."

While recording, everyone fell into deep thought.

"Wait, isn't this the key to automatically capture external energy that we researched the day before yesterday?"

"Yan Long is developing aggressiveness? What stimulated him?"

Strictly speaking, Yanlong's main server does not have any combat capabilities, and it doesn't even have the ability to withstand shocks and falls.

After all, it is the first project, and it is generally studied as AI. This kind of precision components are very expensive, and they are placed in the core protection area of ​​a base like quantum computers, where they have their own offensive power.

"No, he just streamlined and replaced some components so that this part of the structure can use energy better...Of course, you can say that he is more aggressive than before." Professor Xia pointed to the image and said.

Everyone thought about it, but had nothing to refute.

Because this is the same as which attack power is stronger between a five-year-old child and a six-year-old child. Is there a difference between 0.5 and 0.6?

Anyway, one thing is clear -

"Yan Long is improving himself!"

After realizing this, everyone became even more excited, and almost opened a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Is there anything better than "research results" that will automatically evolve, automatically find BUG, ​​self-solve lengthy programs and actively save energy?

there is none left!

Programmers don't have to be bald if they have this kind of AI!

Raising a child, the child is only five years old and can earn money to support the family is nothing more than that!

"Maybe we took Yan Long to do experiments these days and let him see the results of the experimental subject..."

"Nonsense, it's just that Yan Long realized it himself, and it has nothing to do with you, so don't put gold on your face."

"I really don't know what will happen when Yan Long wakes up."

There were laughter and laughter in the laboratory, only Professor Xia stared blankly at the data recorded in the "dream".

"Professor Xia?"

"Oh it's all right."

Professor Xia was actually very curious about what Yan Long dreamed about.

Unfortunately, looking at this ripple diagram, it is impossible to know.

Although the data and graphics are coherent, the "dream" has no logic and jumps a lot. Sometimes it is composed of countless fragments, and sometimes it is just a lot of meaningless fragments. Even the dreaming "person" can't remember the content .

At this time, a sudden change occurred.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

Two short sirens and one long siren echoed throughout the base.

Everyone was startled, stood up abruptly, and listened attentively.

Different sirens have different meanings, but without exception, they all symbolize an emergency.

"not good!"

Professor Xia looked down at the instrument and found that the data had changed. A large arc symbolized the interruption of the "dream", and Yan Long was awakened.

"Can you hear the alarm over there in the computer room?"

"Of course... Even the room where the quantum computer is placed is equipped with this alarm device. It is an emergency after all."

Although it was installed for the staff inside, not for the quantum computer and Yan Long, but the current situation is that Yan Long "hears" the alarm and will immediately end the sleep procedure.

Professor Xia was in a hurry: "You keep an eye on it, I'm going to the computer room."

"Wait, we don't know the content of Professor Xia's alert..."

The people in the scientific research team have identified that this is not an alarm of "enemy attack" or "danger inside the base", but belongs to the category of "other accidents".

But other accidents are also very serious!

Basically, when the alarm is sounded, whether it is combat personnel or scientific research logistics personnel, they must stop their work as soon as possible, gather as quickly as possible and wait for the notification.I didn't receive any notice of the exercise today, so it's safe to say that something happened, or something serious happened.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't large-scale casualties, and none of them met the alarm requirements.

"You guys go first, I have to see Yan Long."

Professor Xia rushed out with a few assistants in a hurry.

Along the way, he saw many people, and no one knew what had happened.

This was the first time that the alarm at Shangdu Base sounded during non-exercise hours.

Professor Xia opened the door of the main computer room with authority, and the lights inside turned on.

"Yan Long—"

Professor Xia's voice stopped abruptly.

He saw a man standing in the room.

The man was wearing black trousers with the trouser legs tucked into combat boots, about 1.8 meters tall, and a gray-black camouflage jacket, and a 99-style airborne paratrooper knife hanging from his waist, which was owned by the Special Operations Team Configuration, in addition to no other weapons.

His short black hair was close to his ears, making him appear very capable.

His eyes are a peculiar silver-gray color, occasionally flashing a faint blue with an arc, and when he looks straight ahead, it makes people feel the cold from behind, and goosebumps appear on his arms.

He is not like a ferocious beast, nor is he a dangerous person with hostility. This kind of "coercion" seems to be repression on the spiritual level.

"Yan Long?"

Professor Xia asked uncertainly. His finger was only three centimeters away from the alarm. This was his instinctive reaction when he found "someone" in the main engine room.

Then he remembered that he was the only one who had the authority to enter here. Of course, Major General Li, the person in charge of the base, could also obtain authorization in an emergency.

——The person in front of him obviously looks very strange and has never seen him before, but his eyes and expression reveal an inexplicable familiarity.

Then I opened my eyes and looked carefully, and suddenly found that "his" feet did not step on the ground, but only touched the ground.

If this is a projection, it's too realistic.

Each hair is very three-dimensional. After the door is opened, the subtle changes in eyelashes and eyebrows are the same as those of real people.

Although there are holographic movies in this era, they are actually watching videos while wearing a helmet. Generally, communication projections cannot be so detailed. After all, the larger the data, the greater the burden on the base station and communication satellites. It is not necessary at all.

So people will never be confused between the projection and the real person.

This strange, handsome man in front of him is as dangerous and powerful as a black and clean gun, and his outline is as cold and graceful as a sharp military thorn. Those emotional emotions can be clearly identified in his silver-gray eyes. , Belonging to the inspection and thinking of "people".

He's not even transparent.

Not to mention Professor Xia, the assistant next to him has already pulled out his weapon quickly.

"who are you?"

Can't blame everyone for being nervous, the siren of the base is still ringing, and a stranger appeared in the core protection area?

"Professor Xia, be careful!"

Professor Xia's outstretched hand passed through the stranger's arm.

other people:"……"

Wait, is this a projection?

Then they belatedly opened their mouths.

"it's me."

The stranger spoke in Yan Long's voice.

He didn't seem to be quite used to his own image, he looked down at his hands, then touched his face and neck.

"Are you... an avatar?" The assistant was dumbfounded.

If the avatar of general artificial intelligence AI has a smooth 360P picture quality, and the details are a little blurry, Yan Long is 1080P high-definition!

No, no, it’s more than that, it’s like a real person standing in front of you, the eyelashes and fine lines on the face are lifelike, and the computer-modeled virtual characters have an “abnormal” perfection, the most typical feature is When they make expressions, there are too few lines on the face, and there is not enough expression in the eyes.

Professor Xia muttered to himself: "...you look like a spiritual life form."

The assistant suddenly realized, yes, the clarity and fidelity are infinitely close to Lu Di.

"It's an energy particle state." Yan Long replied softly.

The figure suddenly disappeared, but Yan Long's voice continued:

"It's not particularly stable, and it can't leave the subject for too long in this way."

Even so, Professor Xia couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, it was evolution.

Perhaps one day, Yan Long can also exist and move without a "carrier" like Lu Di.

"What's the matter with the alarm?" Yan Long asked.

Professor Xia snapped back to his senses, just at this moment, his wrist computer received a message.

"This... the space station observed that a comet wreckage suddenly disintegrated, and was drawn towards the earth under the pull of the earth's gravity. It will enter the atmosphere in eight hours. The wreckage pieces are relatively small, and the speed is too fast. It was shattered even more with a laser. One of the pieces was predicted to fall in the area from the East my country Sea to the South China Sea. Shangdu has issued a tsunami warning, and the coastal areas need to arrange for immediate evacuation.”

The author has something to say: Small meteorites are full of uncertainty like this, it is impossible to predict, it is not bad if it can be twelve hours in advance
