Chapter 180 Holographic Electronic Rose 1 I'm waiting for you at the end of everything
Xu Yanze's consciousness seemed to fall into an endless deep ocean. Countless voices were buzzing and he could not hear anything clearly. His consciousness was lifted up and suddenly he was like a drowning person breaking out of the water.
"Can I believe in the love that a thing that doesn't even have a self talks about?"
This was the only sentence he remembered, and he knew clearly that it was something he had said himself.
Xu Yanze took a sharp breath. This time was different from the previous times. After waking up, he almost forgot how to breathe. His hands and feet were cramping. He opened his mouth wide to fill air into his lungs, and his body bounced unnaturally.
"Congratulations...you...Error...Error"
The transparent cover of the sleeping cabin in front of Xu Yanze did not pop open, and the reminder tone for the routine report every time he came back also turned into an error. He was now covered in cold sweat and had no strength left in his body.
After regaining consciousness, he noticed that there was no white light in the entire space. Xu Yanze reached out to pull off the transparent cover in front of him, but could only leave a fingerprint on the cover.
The sleeping cabin will always be in a locked state when it determines that the consciousness of the person in the cabin is still performing tasks in the small world.
Xu Yanze didn't remember anything, but he made a conditional judgment in his mind when facing this situation. Xu Yanze continued to take a deep breath, and reached out to grope in the cabin, and touched the manual knob on the left side.
laugh--
The sleeping cabin opened, white air gushed out, Xu Yanze sat up trembling, and reached for the data cable connected to the back of his neck.
It is this thread that allows the main system to control his life.
Xu Yanze didn’t know what went wrong with the main system, and he didn’t have the energy to think about it. His first reaction was to find a way to escape.
Xu Yanze reached back to pull the data cable connected to the ceiling. In fact, he had already made preparations for it to be useless, but he didn't expect it to open with just a pull.
The moment the data cable was disconnected, the entire space lit up, and it was that familiar pure white space again.
The pure white surroundings looked like a pure white box prison, but Xu Yanze actually felt cold. He felt the cool breeze blowing through his white clothes that were soaked with cold sweat.
Xu Yanze followed his instinct and immediately looked for a gap. He stood on the ground trembling with his arms folded. For a moment, he actually felt that this feeling was very strange.
The gap came from the right side. Xu Yanze didn't dare to delay. He staggered over there and pushed hard. He almost fell into a space.
This is the main control backend, and Xu Yanze suddenly made a judgment in his mind.
A tall upright sleeping cabin stood in the center. The cabin was filled with white mist and it was impossible to see inside. Xu Yanze saw a messy operating table and the number 99% on the floating screen was always on.
Xu Yanze folded his arms and walked closer step by step. The lighting here was not very good, half bright and half dim. The dim blue light on the sleeping cabin allowed him to barely see the place clearly.
Xu Yanze walked slowly to the sleeping cabin. There seemed to be a person inside, but he couldn't see the face clearly. Instead, he could see his own face clearly in the reflection of the glass.
Xu Yanze was stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch his cheek to confirm that the person in the reflection was himself.
She had short black hair, dark and shiny eye pupils, a little red at the corners of her eyes as if she had just woken up from a dream, there was sweat on the tip of her straight nose, and her lips were pale and chapped.
Xu Yanze felt familiar yet strange. He reached out and touched her long, straight and dense eyelashes, then pinched his face which still had some flesh on it.
In an instant, a bunch of messy things appeared in his mind: a slender little peach tree, the silver light of a metal table knife, a bouquet of warm red flowers, a rabbit transformed from a dogtail grass, and even a can with a picture of tomatoes, and finally it stopped on a plum blossom hairpin.
Beep, beep, beep…
The sleeping cabin made a short sound, and Xu Yanze came back to his senses. He reached out to wipe the glass cover in front of him. Through the heavy white mist, he could vaguely see a man sleeping with his eyes closed. His eyebrows were half-covered and he looked very familiar. There was a blue "Z" sign running horizontally under his eyes.
A window popped up on the sleeping cabin in front of Xu Yanze.
"Do you want to access the internal original database?"
The window flickered, and Xu Yanze saw half of a data cable. The connector was very similar to the one he had just gotten rid of.
Xu Yanze reached out and touched it, and suddenly a floating screen popped up in front of him.
"Connect the data cable and you can retrieve all your memories. Of course, you can choose not to believe it, but you only have this chance. You should know that the promises made by the main system are not trustworthy."
Signed as "Prometheus"
Prometheus?
Xu Yanze took a deep breath. Every word this Prometheus said hit his sore spot. Rather than staying alive, his obsession was to regain his memory.
But as the task progressed bit by bit, he still didn't believe that the main system would keep its promise. He preferred to believe that they would just abandon it.
But somehow, the differences in the notifications of leaving several missions, the sudden change of the system, and the man who suddenly appeared during the last transfer made him feel that someone was helping him.
Xu Yanze had already made a decision, but there was still a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and he subconsciously looked at the sleeping man.
When he opened his eyes, his pupils should be dark blue. Xu Yanze subconsciously thought so.
His uneasy heart inexplicably calmed down, and Xu Yanze reached out and put on his black neck ring.
"Do you want to access the internal original database?"
The window popped up in front of him. Xu Yanze was sitting on the operating table next to the sleeping cabin, lying on the sleeping cabin with his face pressed against the cold glass.
The faint blue light intertwined, his face looked familiar yet unfamiliar, Xu Yanze looked at him and also looked at himself in the reflection of the glass.
"yes."
Data initialization...
Identity verification in progress...
[Firewall is enabled]
"Loading 07-07... We are finally meeting again. I will wait for you at the end of everything."
Xu Yanze heard a voice, and his heart couldn't help beating faster and faster, and a name almost came out of his mouth...
"ah!"
"Ah what?"
Xu Yanze opened his eyes and looked at the person next to him. He had soft brown curly hair and a pair of upturned fox eyes looking at him inquiringly.
"Are you too stupid to do the mission? Do you want me to approve a leave for you? I also support you to simply reject the request from the main system."
Yin Suohe reached out and patted him, and memories came flooding back like snowflakes.
He is the chief of the strategy team in Zone 03, Yin Suohe is his immediate superior, and he has just returned from a mission.
Xu Yanze subconsciously asked him: "What main system request?"
Yin Suohe was stunned for a moment: "That's right, you just came back, you probably haven't read the news yet, go back and have a rest first, and tell me when you have thought it over."
After saying that, Yin Suohe patted him on the shoulder and walked away.
Xu Yanze was walking in the long corridor. Outside the transparent window on the left were crisscrossing tracks and various electronic instruments. Looking down from the upper floors, he saw staff members in neat uniforms of various colors coming in and out.
Xu Yanze looked at his hands blankly. The sunlight shone through the glass window. After standing by the window for a long time, the warm feeling was so real that he began to doubt again.
Has he returned from his little world? Are his feelings real?
Xu Yanze sighed, put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the elevator. There were scanners everywhere in the building, and every time he passed a checkpoint, a soft female voice greeted him respectfully.
"Xu Yanze, Chief Executive of the Strategy Team, welcome back to the main world."
Xu Yanze opened the communicator, and messages popped up from forums and various messy group chats. Xu Yanze scrolled through them out of boredom and never left any messages.
"It seems that the recent project of the main system is going to fail. It is said that the new system built does not meet the requirements of the person in charge at all."
"This is nothing new. Didn't the person upstairs just come back from the small world? The new system still smells like AI, not human at all, just a human skin. The R&D department has already loaded the new system into the small world, and the results are not ideal."
"According to rumors, the top bosses in each district have received invitations to assist. It is said that they are going to enter the small world to guide the AI to complete its evolution and learn human emotions."
"It's not just gossip, okay? According to the latest intelligence, almost all of them were wiped out."
"That's not right. Didn't the guy from the Area 3 Raiders Team just come back from a mission? He probably hasn't tried it yet."
Xu Yanze ate the melon and it fell on himself. Then he clicked on the red dot sent by the main system, and it turned out to be a request.
The news here is much more detailed.
The R&D team is developing a strong artificial intelligence codenamed 07. They want 07 to have the high efficiency of the system and human emotions and perceptual understanding, but unfortunately they have not been successful.
It wasn't until they came up with the "human in the loop" idea internally that they used the resources of the small world to import 07's consciousness into the small world, set some initial settings, and allowed him to complete his evolution in human society and story lines.
Unfortunately, things did not go so smoothly. No matter what 07 encountered in the small world, its positive and negative emotional values would never reach 100%.
They wanted to find the task leader for guidance, but they failed every time. Now they found him.
Xu Yanze finished reading it hurriedly without any interest. After working for so long, he just wanted to go home and lie down to sleep. He didn't want to take on more work. What's more, this time the R&D team wanted him to seal his memory and only upload his consciousness.
He is not interested no matter how high the reward is.
Xu Yanze immediately refused. He leaned back in the aircraft and looked out the window. A tall shadow happened to appear on the building in the distance.
He was a man with dark blue eyes. His face kept changing until it turned into a pure white machine. There was a blue Z with a horizontal line in the middle of his face.
The aircraft flew right through his chest, and Xu Yanze clicked his tongue.
"What? We've been working on this for so many years, and we haven't even confirmed 07's face. How can we make the tasker believe that he can become a human?"
No matter how high-level the tasker is, the houses are all of uniform standard configuration, but Xu Yanze has very high authority.
Half of the place is decorated in ancient Chinese style. Outside the courtyard there is a plum tree that is simple and elegant, and a bit of scenery can be seen through the beautiful wooden windows. The study and tea room are very Western style, with the red flowers on the table as bright as ever, and everything in the room does not look untidy at all.
Xu Yanze took off his clothes as he walked and threw them away casually. There was naturally a robot behind him to clean them up. He threw himself directly into the big bed, wrapped himself in the quilt and went to sleep.
The curtains were automatically drawn tightly, and the room fell into darkness. Before going to bed, Xu Yanze was still vaguely thinking about 07, an artificial AI, a being like a sweeping robot. Will he one day understand love, hate, anger, infatuation and desire?
Is this possible?
"Is it completely impossible?"
Xu Yanze lowered his head to make tea for himself, listening to the voices from the R&D team without even raising his head.
"I'm very tired and don't want to take this mission. Besides, I've seen the situation and it's risky. The other chiefs can't do it, and you don't have to think that I can bring you a miracle."
They were about to say more, but Yin Suohe interrupted at the right time: "Okay, our chief doesn't want to, so stop trying to persuade him."
After Yin Suohe said this, they didn't dare to say anything more and hung up the call first. Yin Suohe's voice came over: "It's right not to get involved in this muddy water. They won't care about you if any problems arise."
Xu Yanze hummed and didn't take it to heart.
What is 07? What is artificial intelligence? What is guiding 07 to max out the two extreme positive and negative emotional values of love and hatred...
It won't have anything to do with him.
The holiday will end sooner or later, and going to work is painful. Although Xu Yanze is already the chief, he still feels just as resentful at work.
"Chief! You are here. Today the preparation room is on the seventh floor."
The electronic ball flying in the elevator was the only thing with working energy, jumping up and down. When Xu Yanze heard the number seven, he inexplicably thought of 07 again.
"Please keep going forward. It's right here. Your mission this time is confidential. I'll say goodbye to you, my assistant!"
Xu Yanze listened to the official words repeated countless times and went to work with a dead look on his face. He scanned and entered the sleeping cabin, connected the data cable and closed his eyes to check the tasks.
Outside the door, the assistant who was supposed to leave paused for two seconds, then returned to normal and left quickly.
"Chief, your preparation room this time is ten...seven..." The electronic sound paused, as if there was a sound leakage, but there was no one in the corridor and no one noticed its abnormality.
Inside the door, Xu Yanze was not surprised to see that the information in front of him was largely censored, so he simply threw it aside.
"Xu Yanze, the taskmaster of Strategy Rule 01, has applied to enter the small world."
Xu Yanze started to connect as usual, but suddenly his eyes blurred and he fell back into the sleeping cabin, and the data cable connecting the back of his neck tightened.
"You are accessing the No. 07 internal database. The R&D team thanks you for your selfless dedication."
Before losing consciousness, Xu Yanze only had time to raise his middle finger towards the ceiling.
