Zombies don't need to rest

Two heavily armed soldiers stared at it at all times.

Jiang Yang pushed open the door of the conference room and left without even looking at the thing.

Even if all the exquisite decorations have been taken away from the tall castle, the builders' generosity can still be seen.

Jiang Yang turned downstairs slowly.

Send Shengshi Hotel to Four Seas, and then to this castle, Guo Wen, this guy has surprisingly good artistic taste.

In the parking lot, Feng Wenbin watched Jiang Yang come out and immediately opened the car door and got down.

Jiang Yang looked at him: "Is everything settled?"

Feng Wenbin nodded: "Before they were merged into the company, these children also lived here. The family members have already prepared for it. It's not bad to be able to leave a whole body. Base City No. [-], ordinary people That's it."

The car returned to the Dead Water Tavern, Jiang Yang looked at the city outside the window and said calmly: "I have paid all the compensation that should be paid, but I have also kept a close eye on it. The children sacrificed their lives for the money, and it is enough for a family to live on. , don't let their family members mess around with those messy things, and be careful that someone runs away with money and leaves the children alone."

Feng Wenbin nodded solemnly: "I understand."

Jiang Yang glanced at him before saying, "Don't let them enter the casino."

Feng Wenbin took a deep breath: "No."

Nodding, Jiang Yang lowered the window and lit a cigarette.

It took a while before he opened his mouth and said, "If you were given a chance to live forever, would you be willing?"

Feng Wenbin smiled and asked: "Brother Yang, you are not talking about turning me into a zombie, are you?"

Jiang Yang shook his head: "You know what I'm talking about."

Feng Wenbin squinted his eyes and passed a car, then turned his head to look at Jiang Yang: "The effect of the metal transformation is so good?"

He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and let the wild wind outside the car suck it out.

Jiang Yang said calmly: "[-]% metal transformation, using a large number of nano-scale robots to replace all the biological structures in the body, but still maintain a human appearance as a whole."

"It's a very mature plan, and you have seen it in the end. It can directly use radiation energy as a supply. It doesn't need to eat or drink water. It has strong combat power and almost eternal life."

Feng Wenbin repeated in a low voice: "Almost."

Jiang Yang nodded: "Metal is not absolutely perfect. It will be damaged, oxidized, and corroded. Although high-standard materials have been used, in the final analysis, it only prolongs the damage cycle and does not prevent the damage from happening."

"However, judging from the characteristics of metals, with the development of materials science, more stable and strong metal materials will appear."

"With the help of the transformation technology that has been formed, a perfect replacement can be achieved, just like zombies need living matter to maintain the integrity of the body, but the maintenance cycle of metal transformation people is longer than that of zombies."

Feng Wenbin frowned and asked, "Is it really that good?"

Jiang Yang thought for a while and replied, "It seems to be like this at the moment."

The car fell silent.

Feng Wenbin remained silent, while Jiang Yang was fascinated by looking at the street outside the window and the pedestrians passing by.

After a while, he stuffed the cigarette butts into the ashtray, closed the car window and said: "A long time ago, the concept of bionic people was often mentioned in our science fiction works at that time."

Feng Wenbin listened quietly.

Jiang Yang continued: "However, the one made by Luo Jincheng seems to be more perfect. It directly invades the body through nano-scale robots, completely replaces all the structures in the body and simulates its functions with robots, and finally forms a complex composed of countless nano-scale robots. Yes, new humans."

"This idea is very good, so that they can also directly use radiation energy as energy supply like zombies."

"And with the characteristics of that nanorobot, the function can be adjusted at any time when needed. For example, the bones of the arm can be turned into hydraulic rods, and the muscles can be turned into more elastic metal fibers."

"If feasible, they can even turn their bodies into the weapons they need, and the ubiquitous radiant energy can also maintain their combat effectiveness at the highest level for a long time."

Hearing Jiang Yang's praise.

Feng Wenbin, who was familiar with him, suddenly said: "Brother Yang, since you said that, there should be a but, right?"

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "However, there is a small problem in this perfect plan."

Feng Wenbin heaved a sigh of relief.

Brother Yang rarely praises something or someone.

When he was a child, he said that it is impossible for anything to be perfect.

After adjusting his sitting posture, Feng Wenbin listened carefully.

What kind of problems will there be with this metal transformation that sounds amazing and perfect?

Jiang Yang smiled and stretched out a finger: "I don't know if bionics will dream of electronic sheep, but will the fully metalized human brain really produce consciousness?"

Feng Wenbin didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Yang also fell silent.

It took a long time for him to speak slowly: "If the energy card is the iceberg that sank the big ship of the Federal Academy of Sciences, then the problems of the human brain and consciousness undoubtedly belong to the iceberg without wind."

Feng Wenbin frowned: "Is there no way to get around this problem?"

Jiang Yang shook his head: "It cannot be avoided."

He rested his chin on his hands and looked at the busy street outside the window: "If zombies want to figure out what they are, they have to discuss the issue of consciousness."

"How did our awareness arise, what is it based on, whether it exists independently, the structure of the brain after zombification has been different, why does it still have consciousness, and even the memory can be connected."

"There is also a real problem here, that is, during the time when the zombies crazily eat people and evolve, did they really lose consciousness completely?"

Feng Wenbin couldn't answer his question, so he could only drive through the streets silently.

Jiang Yang said calmly: "Zombies and humans have the same origin, but under the influence of radiation energy, there are huge differences, which lead to differences that cannot be ignored."

"Yet the unity of consciousness keeps the two parties together from their respective peaks."

"Whether it's us or you, sooner or later we will have to answer this question."

Then he smiled and said, "But why I told you that Luo Jincheng is an asshole before is because he added a new variable to the problem that originally only had two parties."

"If people transformed by liquid metal will have the same consciousness as humans, how will they treat their bodies and completely different basic lifestyles?"

"If liquid metal transforms people to produce their own consciousness, how will they face the part of their consciousness that is similar to or even completely overlaps with human beings?"

Feng Wenbin whispered, "Like a zombie?"

Jiang Yang nodded: "Humans don't have much affection with monkeys, because monkeys can't respond to their questions and complex emotions."

"However, the difference in consciousness between zombies and humans is not significant. If metallized humans can produce consciousness, it will certainly not be too different from humans."

Feng Wenbin suddenly said: "But didn't the zombies wake up under the influence of Luo Jincheng?"

"Brother Yang, according to you, the liquid-gold transformed human is very similar to a zombie, so it should also require a certain opportunity to change to produce consciousness?"

Jiang Yang thought for a while and replied: "You still remember Cai Wuen?"

Feng Wenbin drove the car into the eighth district at the exit of the expressway, nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yang said calmly: "It is mentioned in the information he left behind that after waking up, he has some short-lived memories about the doomsday period, and we have demonstrated this with the help of instruments."

"He does have memories of that time."

Feng Wenbin's eyes widened suddenly: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yang watched the car driving towards the Dead Water Tavern and replied calmly: "I mean, even if Luo Jincheng doesn't make a move, as long as there is enough time, the zombies may still wake up."

"Cai Wuen is very low-level after becoming a zombie, and he has shown signs of awakening in 30 years."

"If he is not an exception, then Luo Jincheng just brought forward the time for the zombies to wake up."

"And I told you that in Base City [-] many years ago, there was a monarch-level zombie protecting it."

Jiang Yang calmly watched the car parked in the parking space of the Dead Water Tavern and said: "The strongest wake up, and the weakest also show signs of awakening, does it mean that when the zombies gradually adapt to the radiation environment, they no longer When the terrifying eating instinct dominates all actions, it has already begun to wake up."

"So even if the metal-modified people do not have consciousness for a short period of time, sooner or later, they will have their own consciousness."

"And if the metal transformation does not affect their consciousness, then before all human beings become metal transformation people, there will inevitably be problems between humans and metal people."

"Also, I don't know how they're going to solve the problem of newborns if everyone turns into metal cyborgs."

"Clone? Artificial human? Artificially cultivated babies? Or directly make metal people?"

"Such a society can really be considered a human society?"

Feng Wenbin shook his head.

He didn't know these things, and he didn't know how to answer them.

Jiang Yang smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's just a complaint from an old man who has lived for more than 200 years. Don't take it to heart. We should solve the zombie issue by ourselves. Before this incident happens, all of this will be settled." Just guessing, you have your mission."

He looked at Feng Wenbin with a serious expression: "Metal transformation is obviously Luo Jincheng's next plan, and the recent blockade of the No. [-] base city, the accidents that occurred in the three base cities a while ago, and the gun battle here It seems to me that he is conducting preliminary experimental demonstrations for the implementation of the transformation."

"It's not a good thing."

"Because this shows that the metallization transformation must have defects and problems that we don't know about, so Luo Jincheng has been hesitating."

Seeing him bluntly saying it was not a good thing, Feng Wenbin looked at Jiang Yang seriously and asked, "Do you need to adjust the work of the Tinder Project?"

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "That's not my task."

Seeing that he didn't understand, Jiang Yang smiled and pointed to the Passing Water Tavern: "The Tinder Project is a training program started by us old guys to ensure that human beings can survive."

"But remember, we are only responsible for cultivating and protecting you. It is you who really decide the future of mankind."

He pointed in the direction of Base City No. [-]: "Luo Jincheng is your savior, not ours. It is you, not me, who really need to think about how to get along with him and how to deal with problems."

Feng Wenbin nodded.

Jiang Yang patted him on the shoulder: "Of course, we will try our best to protect you and provide you with assistance, but it is up to you to decide which direction you are going to develop. I am only responsible for when you are about to fall into the abyss. , give you a hand."

Taking a deep breath, Feng Wenbin looked at Jiang Yang seriously and said, "So Brother Yang, do you think this liquid metal transformation will be implemented soon?"

Jiang Yang rubbed his chin and said: "I don't think it will be soon, but according to my observations these days, the first thing to implement is definitely not this kind of all-metal transformation, because it seems that Luo Jincheng has not completed the verification so far. "

Feng Wenbin thought for a while and said: "Is it a nano-scale robot? I know Brother Yang, and I will inform other people to pay more attention."

Patting him on the shoulder, Jiang Yang smiled and said, "Do it well, the new Windless Tavern has been built, and now your mother is in charge there, don't worry."

Feng Wenbin scratched his head with a smile and said, "It seems that I really graduated."

Jiang Yang shrugged his shoulders: "Miao Miao is so old, she is about to go to college, and her training plan has already started in full swing. With her ability, she will be a new generation of fire, you child can't wait for me Let me teach you all."

The two smiled at each other.

Jiang Yang pushed the car door open and said, "Okay, you still have a lot of troubles here, Luo Jincheng has started a new job, and you will be busy next."

Feng Wenbin smiled and replied: "Who made me pass the assessment and officially graduate? Someone has to do these things."

Jiang Yang smiled and waved his hands.

Feng Wenbin watched him walk towards the beach and then disappear.

NO.11 The ninth district northeast of the base city.

In the newly built but empty hospital, Sun Hai frowned and looked at Xiao Wang lying on the bed in the ward.

When Jiang Yang came in, he was writing and drawing on the paper in his hand.

Hearing the voice, he turned his head and said, "Brother Yang, you are back."

Nodding his head, he looked at the unconscious young man Jiang Yang lying on the hospital bed and asked, "What's going on?"

Sun Hai put down the mess of paper in his hand and said: "There is no major problem with the body, a few broken ribs, and some muscle damage has been repaired long ago, but this child has been damaged by some kind of drug. .”

He went to the next room and turned on the device, then took out the piece of paper, pointed to the names on it, and said, "These are the drugs."

After Jiang Yang looked carefully and wrote down the name, Sun Hai continued: "By precisely controlling the ratio of drugs, it will not cause permanent damage to his brain, and it will also just make him lose a period of time." memory of time."

He pointed to the messy pattern he drew and said, "After my calculations, I estimate that the child's amnesia will not last very long, probably between one and two months."

Jiang Yang looked at the image on the device and asked, "Can it be restored?"

Sun Hai took two steps back and touched his chin and said, "Not necessarily. Looking at the situation, someone has already calculated the ratio and dosage of the medicine accurately according to the time. Now even if the memory is restored through stimulation, it will only be a one-time job." A small part of the more impressive content."

He suddenly thought for a while before describing: "Just like Brother Ji at that time, only a small part of the deepest memory can be recovered."

Jiang Yang nodded clearly: "Try it, if it is necessary to use amnestics, then he must have seen something that others do not want him to see. Something he was impressed with."

Sun Hai nodded: "I think so too."

"But Brother Yang, do you think it is possible that the memories of all the people who came out of Base City No. [-] have been processed?"

Jiang Yang squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to touch his chin and said: "You are right to say that. The sudden blockade of the No. [-] base city must have been done by Luo Jincheng. These memory cleanings are presumably related to him."

"But this kid is different. He is a formal researcher of the Federal Academy of Sciences, so what he comes into contact with is definitely different from what other people come into contact with."

Sun Hai has already opened the door and entered the ward, skillfully connecting the equipment to Xiao Wang.
