doomsday exile

"Professor Xia calling me?"

"No, I want to call you..."

Before Yan Long could finish speaking, he noticed that Lu Di's head had darkened.

Facing Xianyu who was offline in a second and decisively pretended to be dead, Yan Long suddenly laughed.

This emotion was reflected on the main body, and dozens of slowly floating transparent "tentacles" suddenly lit up with rose red light, then gradually became darker, and finally turned into a dazzling blue, and the energy consumption rose sharply A scale was passed, and the lighting facilities in the whole room flickered unsteadily.

"Yan Long?"

Professor Xia quickly took off his reading glasses, and raised his head from the screen of the device.

The assistant stared dumbfounded at the picture captured on the monitor.

The huge shockproof transparent cover with the completed bionic neuron No. [-] has several cracks on it, reflecting a beautiful blue light, like a cracked ice surface.

"Energy particles are colliding..."

"The conductive liquid in the anti-shock vessel is reacting strongly with the energy particles generated by the biological AI components, just like the aurora."

The blue light became more and more dazzling, covering the siphon jellyfish like a cloud.

It failed to form a larger scale, the collision reaction of energy particles had ended, and the light gradually weakened. When the naked eyes could look directly at the room, everyone suddenly discovered that the conductive liquid in the shockproof vessel had "evaporated" two-thirds.

The siphon jellyfish, which was originally suspended like a nebula and slowly stretched its body, contracted abnormally into a sphere, and was pitifully immersed in the remaining liquid.

"Quickly, empty the container and refill it." Professor Xia shouted hastily.

As the blue conductive liquid fills the entire anti-shock container, the bionic neuron complete body resumes its floating leisurely posture. The tentacles formed by the components are like the well-developed roots of mangroves, like a perfectly woven bird's nest, lying in the deepest part. A flickering figure.

"This--"

The entire research team gasped in unison.

Some of them put their hands on their glasses, some opened their mouths wide, and some tried to shake their heads to wake up.

Those energy particles emitting blue light floated around the figure, like fireflies.

These fireflies visible to the naked eye are forming an increasingly clear person in front of their eyes.

——Although I know that the new topic is the upgrade of Yan Long's body's energy control, and even though I know that Yan Long wants to create a virtual projection of a human figure recently, it is one thing to hear it, but another thing to see it with my own eyes.

Besides, for subject research or something, a year and a half is considered fast, and ten or eight years is normal.

It's as if everyone has just set up the scaffolding, dug the foundation, and before they start to build the building, the building "grows" by itself-it's still growing very well, with a very design sense of appearance, just like a flower There are several million drawings made by designers.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and looked at the colleagues in the scientific research team who knew modeling in unison.

"not me."

"It's not me either! If I had the ability, I'd quit my job and go to Holographic Game Company to do modeling!"

The last man who spoke swears to God.

Of course, resignation is a joke, and they are not professional in modeling. Without the corresponding qualifications, they will not pass the application.

Other countries study artificial intelligence, and wish they could set up a modeling and image design team for AI, but here in China—there used to be, but after Yan Long "woke up and was born", he found that it was not necessary at all.

Professor Xia looked at the rows of data on the instrument, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Compared with Yan Long's last "projection", this time the energy particles are very stable and are no longer a "temporary composition".

"It felt like a real person."

The assistant dared not speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the phantom sleeping in the tentacles of the jellyfish.

"No, it's more like... a living body than last time."

This assistant was very lucky. He had seen Yan Long's new image with Professor Xia before, so he was able to tell the important difference between the two times, "Look, he is actually 'breathing'!"

Last time it was just perfect, clear, true to life.

His face is handsome, his breath is cold and sharp.

Because the fine lines on the face and the muscles affected by the expression are lifelike, completely surpassing the false sense of perfection of computer modeling, the eyes have the unique look of the soul when thinking, rather than the repeated changes of a fixed formula, the assistant thought it was AI at that time The performance of the avatar is at its peak.

Then I looked again today and found that I was wrong.

——Although the eyes are closed, there is no change in expression, but in a state of complete stillness and even a translucent body, it can give people the feeling of "alive". This is the real spiritual life body. Before that, it was only infinitely close to Lu Di That's all.

What is "feeling alive"?

That is, when the "brain" is not activated, there will still be "programs in progress".

Such as breathing, heartbeat.

The virtual projection has no internal organs. If you want to show these characteristics that are the same as human beings in appearance——

"Breathing is more than just an action, and its performance is not just the ups and downs of the body. To be perfect, it cannot be a repetitive program, at least a complex algorithm..."

The "modeling guru" in the group was about to express his opinions incessantly when he heard a knock on the table.

It's a table leg.

Everyone looked down in a daze, and suddenly found a familiar roller robot.

"Yan Long?"

Everyone looked dumbfounded at the "man" deep in the tentacles of the jellyfish, and at the metal robot.

Wait, if Yan Long is here, who is that "person" lying down?

"It's not finished yet! If it can't be used temporarily, we have to wait for a few days." Yan Long explained helplessly.

Everyone was shocked: "When did you come?"

"...I was there from the beginning."

The metal robot said dumbly.

This carrier has been here all the time, and it has always been connected to the main control room. Although it is standing there and not moving, Yan Long can hear all the voices and things happening here.

Just like the scientific research team standing here can see all the changes of the "jellyfish" through the instrument.

But for some reason, everyone, including Professor Xia, forgot about it, causing Yan Long to end his "modeling" and switch to a carrier. After unplugging the cable, he started walking, but no one noticed that he was coming. up.

Everyone surrounded the screen in amazement.

Seeing that their words became more and more outrageous, and even developed to the point where one person waved his arm and talked about "modeling teaching", Yan Long felt that this could not continue, so he could only manipulate the robot to slide over and knocked on the table leg with his arm .

"cough."

In the end, it was Professor Xia who broke the awkward silence.

Professor Zhang Xun, who was beside Professor Xia, had glowing eyes, and rushed forward to hold the metal robot's hand.

Yan Long: "..."

This time, Professor Zhang Xun and half of his team assisted, observed and participated in this new project. It was the first time they saw this kind of situation, and they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and even had the illusion of doubting life—all Why is there such a big difference in the research on the complete body of bionic neurons?

When Zhang Xun came last time, he still brought Ji Li with him.

After Yan Long saw Ji Li, the two's reactions... No matter what, Professor Zhang Xun led the team away angrily.

So to Yan Long, Zhang Xun's attitude has always been lukewarm. No matter what Zhang Xun thinks in his heart, the "No. [-]" who doesn't get along with Ji Li is like a child who bullied his own child. No matter how good he is, there is nothing good in front of him complexion.

"... made a good start, set a good example, and discovered a new evolutionary direction of biological AI..."

Listening to Professor Zhang Xun's incoherent speech, Yan Long finally understood.

Zhang Xun believes that Yan Long can do it, and Ji Li can do it one day.

——Set a goal, and then force your children to catch up.

"It's difficult."

Yan Long told the truth.

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, but didn't react.

"If you want to become a better self, you must first 'think'." Yan Long said seriously.

The metal robot with only rolling wheels looked up at Professor Zhang Xun, with a faint light shining in its eyes, completely destroying the serious atmosphere.

Professor Xia and the others wanted to laugh, but felt it was inappropriate, so they could only hold back.

Zhang Xun's face turned dark. He found that Yan Long was indeed developed by Professor Xia, and his words were too bad, almost exactly like Professor Xia.

——Would Jili think?Ji Li didn't want to think about it!

Ji Li might think it would be good to be a bonsai.

There is always someone who will make you want to be a better version of yourself.

Three days later, Lu Di was concentrating on fiddling with weapons on the training ground with his gloves.

"Brother Lu, your accuracy has increased."

"right!"

Lu Di was also very happy looking at the target.

There is a nine ring!

Although only half of the ten bullets hit within the fifth ring, this is a big improvement!

— a bullet worthy of the country paying for itself.

Lu Di clenched his fist.

"Uh, in fact, Professor Xia said last time, brother Lu, the gloves you use are easy to grasp and fight, but they are not very friendly to this kind of shooting that requires stable recoil. This is also why your shooting accuracy is always bad. Why, why don't you try this."

Chen Yan pointed to a heavy machine gun with brackets that he had just put together parts.

Lu Di: "..."

Isn't this thing too fierce?

"Why don't you take a look at this course, observer, to assist snipers?" Chen Yan continued to recommend courses.

"good……"

In the middle of Lu Di's speech, he suddenly found a message popped up on his wrist computer (put in the mouth of the glove).

"The second lesson of vehicle driving starts at 10 o'clock. Gather at gate 2 of area C of the base, instructor Yan Long."

Chen Yan, who was next to him, also received the notice and quickly started to clean up.

"Quick, quick, it takes 15 minutes to run from the training ground."

Lu Di, who can flash on the road, is not in a hurry. He put his gloves on Chen Yan's backpack, thinking about the "observer" course in his heart.

At the thought of being able to assist Yan Long, Lu Di was tempted.

Useful!

What is a good partner?

It is said that cross talk can be flattering, bullets can be reloaded when they are empty, and agents in the front steal information from the back, and they cooperate tacitly!

"Hey." Lu Di sighed heavily.

Yan Long knew too many things, so he had to learn so many skills.

After thinking about it, when he arrived at the parking lot in the designated area, as soon as he walked out of Gate 2, Lu Di saw a familiar yet unfamiliar person standing beside an armored vehicle.

Short black hair sticking to the neck, a slender and powerful body, and a handsome and perfect silhouette.

Even if they are motionless, they are full of dangerous and powerful aura, as if a dark storm of lightning and thunder is brewing.

He was like a leader. When his silver-gray eyes turned around, the coercion and courage made him unable to move for a moment, and he instinctively stood up straight.

"...Yan Long?"

Lu Di murmured subconsciously.

The author has something to say: Yan Long’s philosophical thinking today

——What is the essence of love

——There is always someone who will make you want to be a better version of yourself.
