Chapter 783 Fireworks of Life
Sigma Mechanical Council.
A year has passed since they came here. Not only Tilan, but also hundreds of thousands of members who followed him have settled down here and gradually adapted to life here.
This is a world full of mechanical life, a completely different environment from the Rose Federation.
"Hello, this is today's breakfast, I wish you a pleasant meal~"
On a bench in the park, a young employee on his way to work sat here for a while, ready to breathe the fresh air here and enjoy a moment of peace before leaving. At his feet, a small cylindrical robot came over and greeted him, then opened the hatch on the top, revealing a freshly made and hot breakfast.
"Thank you~" He waved to the little robot, and the other party also showed a happy expression on the display board.
Then he took out the corn sandwich, taro milk tea, and egg tarts, and slowly enjoyed them.
After about a few minutes, he finished eating these, put the residue and empty cup into the trash can beside him, and then got up again and walked to the high-rise building not far away.
It is only 15 minutes away from where he lives. Unless he is in a hurry, he will not take the car.
Thanks to the ample space in the Mechanical Council, almost every living human can choose where to live at will.
After entering the building, he waved and greeted the colleagues he saw. Among these colleagues, there were humans like him, and more were mechanical life forms.
"Good morning, Ling." A girl with orange-chestnut hair came towards him. She was holding a clipboard. Even though she was wearing a professional skirt, she couldn't hide her extraordinary figure.
"Good morning, Director Valerian." Facing the pair of light blue and curious eyes, Ling had to turn his head away to avoid her sight.
Although this boss was indeed very beautiful, and both her temperament and figure were the object of his heart, but -
she was a mechanical life
. He kept reminding himself of this in his heart, and then walked across.
Hmm? A faint fragrance came from the tip of his nose.
Did the other party use perfume today? Ling turned back subconsciously, but this time he happened to meet Valerian's waiting sight.
"Does Ling like this fragrance very much?" Although it was a very ordinary sentence, Ling's heartstrings subconsciously jumped.
"Well, I like it more." He touched his hair with his hand to cover up his somewhat unnatural expression.
"Then I will use this perfume from now on." The other party said this naturally, then smiled and waved at him, and continued to walk away.
For a whole morning, Ling worked absent-mindedly, as if his soul was not in this body. It was not until the lunch break at noon that he woke up.
What's wrong with me? I was so upset because of the other party's words. He patted his forehead with his hand.
As a top student in the Federation, his IQ is not low, and he knows very well what kind of existence mechanical life is. Emotions may be the result of hormones, instincts, intuition, and sensibility in humans, but in mechanical life, it is an action template derived from a lot of big data analysis. It's
really terrible. In just one year, they are like real girls, making people's hearts beat and difficult to calm down. Various small movements and expressions are becoming more and more difficult to distinguish. Sometimes, if it weren't for rational reminders, he would have regarded the other party as a real human.
How could a girl in real life be so perfect, with such a good temper? As a boss, she cares about me every day and chooses perfume specifically for me. Ling tried to remind himself not to go astray and become a captive of mechanical life like the brother next door, willingly bowing down to the strings of data codes.
After lunch, he returned to his work station and prepared to lie on the chair for a nap before starting work again.
When he woke up again, Ling found that his temple was gently rubbed. The force was just right, making him feel comfortable. When he opened his eyes, he saw Valerian standing behind his chair. The hanging badge was lifted up by the arc and hung above his head, shaking his mind.
"How is it, is it better now?" Valerian's gentle voice brushed his heart like a delicate sponge.
"Better, actually not that tired." Ling sat up without changing his expression.
As an extraordinary person, he didn't notice when the other party approached him while he was sleeping. Was he too lazy, or was this Miss Valerian too strong?
"I saw that you were not in a good state this morning, and I was a little worried." Valerian continued, then loosened his hand, stepped back a little, and kept the same distance as usual, so that there was no problem to find, just like the care and concern between normal friends.
"This, it may be that I played games too late last night." He did play games last night, but he also ensured 6 hours of sleep, so it was not like this. As for the reason, it was Miss Valerian in front of him.
"What games do you like to play? I'm a little curious."
Damn, the other party caught the topic again. If he knows more about me and makes more targeted moves, how can I resist in the future.
Ling turned many thoughts in a few seconds, and then answered, "I prefer those combat action games, and enjoy the kind of hearty combat decompression."
In fact, he likes a lot of games, even love-related games.
"So that's it." The other party blinked his eyes, as if he understood something.
What did this guy analyze again? Could it be that he accessed some psychological database to analyze the motivation of my preferences, Ling complained in his heart.
Just when he was thinking about changing the subject and talking about something else, Valerian took a step ahead and talked about the afternoon's work.
"We will continue the experiment this afternoon to study the working principle of the secret method of transformation. This time, we will have more advanced instruments to record the entire process and understand how the ancient dragon sequence allows humans to transform into another creature in a short period of time."
"I know."
Ling nodded. This topic is one of the key cooperation projects between them and the Mechanical Council. There are about 14 groups working on it at the same time, and his group is one of them. There are nearly 100 members. The team leader and deputy team leader are humans and mechanical life respectively. Miss Valerian is a middle-level manager in the group, responsible for more than ten people including him.
"Last time you said that the realization of this secret method may not be to change the biological characteristics of humans, but based on the realization of a fantasy, that is, to transform oneself into a fantasy existence, and the appearance of dragons, phoenixes, and other exotic beasts is just a symbol of fantasy."
"Yes." When talking about his professional field, Ling quickly calmed down.
"Most of the ancient supernaturals did not systematically learn biological knowledge, and did not have a deep understanding of the body structure, internal circulatory system, and many subtle features of dragons, but they were able to transform into life forms that were almost as powerful. There must be a special way to fill this unreal flaw."
"In a sense, it is precisely because they are not real dragons that there is a time limit, because this is a 'form' maintained by supernatural power and not real."
"But supernatural power is also great and magical. It spontaneously makes up for the shortcomings and makes the entire system run, just like a real creature."
"If this form can be improved and fixed, it means that humans will no longer be limited to a certain form, which will benefit many fields and allow humans to break through the shackles of the biological framework."
"The body is no longer a limitation..." Valerian touched his chin with his fingers and repeated this sentence.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
... On the green grass
in another corner of the city
, Tilan and Mel walked beside a huge wild boar. The wild boar had a bag on its back and a lot of things hung on both sides.
"Hmph." The big brown-haired wild boar lay down after reaching the center of the grass.
"This is it, Heshia~" Mel turned around with both hands pressing the sun hat.
This classmate who once went to school with Tilan at the Iridium Academy followed Tilan to the Sigma Mechanical Council without hesitation this time, and also brought many of her big friends.
Compared with thirty years ago, Mel now looks much more mature, but because of the extraordinary, she looks only about 26 years old.
She comes from a good family, and after graduation, she has been accompanied by various extraordinary animals. She rarely participates in the life of secular society, and her character has not changed much from the past.
"Okay." Tilan also stopped, and then the two of them took the ice cream maker off the wild boar's back and placed it on the lawn.
"Then there are the ice cube and drink makers, and the small table we'll use." Meier said with a hint of joy, her long dark purple hair tied into a single strand in front of her.
"The kids will be here soon, so we have to prepare today's ice cream and popsicles. Oh, and we have to make a price list, because Tilan said that we can't give everything away for free."
"It's like this." Tilan followed her and got busy. Today she was wearing light sportswear and a round sun hat on her head, so people couldn't tell that she was a famous singer in the Federation.
Half an hour later, a group of children, led by their teacher, came to the grass to play. Several of them saw the ice cream stand here and ran over immediately.
"Wow, there's ice cream, Lily, look~"
"I saw it, hum, no need for you to remind me."
"Let's go eat it."
"Go, go, go~" Several children gathered around Tilan.
"I want... cranberry flavor." A child put his hand on the edge of the table.
"I like purple vanilla flavor."
"No problem, wait a moment." The black-haired girl behind the table raised her finger, her purple eyes blinked lightly, and then she quickly mixed the ice cream, and added fruit and chocolate crumbs to the ice cream according to their needs.
After taking the ice cream, these sweaty children sat on the grass and enjoyed it happily.
"What is that? Is it a pig?" One of the children noticed the big wild boar behind the various facilities of the stall.
The brown-haired wild boar had taken off its bag and was resting under a tree, occasionally snorting.
"It's a pig, but aren't all pigs white?" Several children looked over.
"There are black pigs, too. I've seen them in games."
They walked over curiously, but didn't dare to get too close.
Mel was free now. She came to the big wild boar in a breathable long skirt, touched its head (actually its cheek), and then took out an apple and stuffed it into the big wild boar's mouth. After a while
, the big wild boar ate the apple like eating candy, and then rubbed Mel.
"Be good, don't scare everyone." Mel smiled and stroked it, then waved to the children not far away.
"This is the first time I've seen such a big pig. I used to see it on video." One of the children said.
"There are no wild animals here."
"Is it the big sister's pet?" One of the children walked over carefully.
"Yes, if you want to touch it, you need to be gentle, or comb its hair, it will like it very much."
"Okay~" Hearing that they can get closer, the children became happy again, and then walked over in small steps, and gently touched the boar weighing several tons with their hands that were smaller than pig's trotters.
For this brown-haired boar, such a touch is not even a tickle, it just looked at it, and then squinted and continued to sleep.
Although the boar didn't care, the children seemed to have found a treasure. For this simple touch, it seemed to be endless fun. Several people exchanged small combs and tried one by one.
On the other side, Tilan, who had finished her work, turned around. She stepped on the grass in sandals, her steps were light, and then she simply tied up her long hair behind her head and walked closer, with a dashing posture.
"Do you like the boar? You can come and touch it tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Yes, we will come these days." The black-haired and purple-eyed girl smiled, bent down, hugged a child, and then put it on the back of the boar.
"Wow, it's so hot, and there's fur." The child was surprised to feel everything under him. The hardness and touch of the bristle fibers were like another new continent.
Yes, what is common in the eyes of adults is another new and vast world in the eyes of children who have never experienced it.
"Me, I want to play too." Seeing this child being carried on the back of the wild boar, another little girl with dark purple hair also raised her hand in envy.
"Yeah, no problem." The girl took her hand and then put it on the back of the wild boar.
In this way, a group of children played around, and after a while the teacher called them, they reluctantly returned and left.
Later, Tilan and Meier packed up the ice cream machine they had brought and put it on the back of the wild boar, preparing to return.
But at this time, the teacher who had been busy taking care of other children came over.
"Hello." The young female teacher was wearing a long snow gauze skirt.
"I am the teacher of the group of children just now, my name is He Xin." She first introduced herself, and then asked about the origins of the two.
"We are also residents who followed Lord Tilan here. We are currently doing some odd jobs to make money." Mel introduced herself.
"Did you raise that big wild boar too?" The teacher was curious when she saw the wild boar carrying goods beside the two.
"Yes, I am a breeder and I raise many extraordinary animals." Mel continued to nod.
"Is that so? In fact, I also want to take the children to know more about real animals, but this is the world of the Mechanical Council, and there are almost no wild animals, so I really want to ask you for help." She thought of something.
"If that's the request, we can provide help." The black-haired and purple-eyed girl came over.
"There are all kinds of them. Of course, you have to buy our ice cream." She shook her finger.
"Haha, that's no problem." The teacher smiled and nodded. In fact, the price of ice cream is not expensive, and in the current world, there are not many places to spend money. She thought that the two of them did this because of interest.
After that, the three of them talked for a while, and then said goodbye and separated.
On the way, Tilan and Mel talked.
"The children are very cute." Mel recalled the scene just now.
"Yes." Tilan's eyes were attracted by the falling leaves on the street.
"Some of these children are not human." She suddenly talked about what she had just seen.
"Ah, I didn't recognize them." Meier was surprised.
"They are not human children, but they are similar. They are all immature mechanical life. This is an experiment. The process of constructing the cognition of mechanical life is deliberately slowed down outside the laboratory, and the results are obtained through continuous observation and summary."
"We don't know what life should look like, so we follow the historical experience and carry it out again." Tilan recalled the original intention of this plan.
"Perhaps according to the truth of the world, life is not necessary and not precious. We are just a spark that flashes for a moment, and the universe has no special place for us." "
Therefore, we cannot find the support for the inevitable existence of life in truth and law. We can only continue the path of our birth and rekindle the spark."
"When the spark has consciousness, the thought of continuing is born, and life exists in this world."
"Although I can't point out the future path for mechanical life, when they choose to save themselves instead of letting themselves collapse and destroy, their lives are really born."
"Because they want to live, whether it is to continue working, experience, or grow more."
"When a line of code thinks that continuing is more valuable than self-destruction, they are born in this world."
