Chapter 626 A fulfilled wish
"You're crazy," Jules said, her anger palpable. The scope of the "dead zone" is approaching them.This is really not a good time to have a quarrel.In response, Ji Xun humbly bowed his head to her.

"Thank you for your help, Jules," he said. "When I realized that the intelligence I was getting from you was seriously wrong, I had to resort to a costly contingency strategy to get out of danger. HF weaponization of subs, so I lost it before disengagement. That also meant I lost the jammer and positioning algorithm. It's a lesson to reflect on, I think, I'm a bit too far on this one Impatient. And, based on my current speculation, maybe someone played a not-so-kind joke on me."

"We don't have time to waste babbling," Jules said sternly. "Look around you! We're being cornered!"

"Maybe you can try asking to cancel it." Ji Xun suggested.

Juul does seem to be planning to do just that.She had already stretched out her hand to Jin Ling, but suddenly she stopped again.Ji Xun observed her performance - he already understood the difficulty of this matter.

"There are three limitations to the use of a wishing machine: comprehension, presentation, and description," he points out. "A wishing machine cannot be asked to do something we cannot describe. Juul, we haven't figured out the constraints yet. What's ours."

Juul is still trying.At first she just meditated, but soon she abandoned this method that might not be accepted by the splitter, and talked to Jinling like the residents of the city did every night.

"Eliminate the threats that surround us," she said.

Jin Ling was silent.

"Keep us safe." She tried in the other direction.

Nothing happens.

"Let's get out of here."

They could not be sure that this request was fulfilled.Perhaps this machine did move them for a moment at the moment of making a wish, but it still left them deeply trapped in this undefined "dead zone".

"Give me a glass of water," said Jules.

A glass of water immediately appeared at her feet.The cup is a transparent cylinder, well proportioned.Jules kicked over the glass of water angrily.

"Tell me what's the problem." She slowed down her tone, as if she was talking to a living person. "Tell me what surrounds us?"

Something did happen.Some sort of trance showed in her muscular responses.But the fascination vanished as quickly as it appeared.When she came back to reality, the blankness and exasperation in her eyes showed that she had failed to achieve her goal-telling and understanding were never the same thing.She kept trying, so that for a while she seemed insane.

Ji Xun stood by and watched her quietly until she gave up completely.It's not like he didn't do anything. In this less than ideal situation, the thread that takes up very little resources has already escaped from the "Mystery of Chi County".He used the little resources saved to imagine Tuoba's presence.It's a strange thing that the playwright doesn't seem particularly happy in the scenarios he's simulating, and "revenge" is a rather complex emotional mechanism.He also noticed that the tightening of the "dead zone" was accelerating.

Jules turned to him, frustrated.But unlike her brood, she did not lose herself in rage.After she took a careful look at Ji Xun, her voice sounded completely calm and restrained.

"We have some wrong impressions of you, Mr. Ji Xun." She said frankly, "When we first met, you made us feel that you have a... straightforward and decisive style."

"I tend to solve problems efficiently." Ji Xun replied.

"You hid important information from me, Mr. Ji Xun, and it was because of your deliberate arrangement that we were trapped here. I don't mean to accuse you by saying that. As you said, what really matters is to solve the problem. "

"Yes." Ji Xun agreed.He still stood there, as if waiting for Jules' next words.But Zhu Er also seemed to be waiting for his next words, so they had to look at each other.Until the end, the old man showed a helpless smile.

"You're threatening me, Mr. Ji Xun."

"I didn't intend to do this." Ji Xun declared, "For me, Jules, the way to solve the problem is to let you bring me here. You have completed the most difficult thing for me after losing the data of the shield. A job. I never intended to take anything else from you."

"So what do you think of our current situation? I find it hard to believe that you have gone to such lengths just to get us into such a suicidal situation together."

"I'm thinking about countermeasures."

"You don't show that kind of positive effort."

"Maybe my way of thinking is different from what you understand. Jules, my thinking is multi-threaded. In fact, since you appeared in front of my eyes, most of my threads are calculating a set of expressions that are flexible enough .I only set aside a very small portion of my resources to deal with external things like the conversation we have now. You are talking to a thread of mine, which is not to say that I am dealing with you, but in terms of the overall configuration, the composition of my The Strategy Group as a whole is planning to find a countermeasure. Once we enter the computing center, the dangers that will be presented to us will be random - at least, from our point of view, so I have to start over according to the situation Computing. Right now I'm doing the best I can with it, and leaving an extra thread to interact with you won't reduce efficiency much. I'm going to at least keep your attention to a minimum, and I think you understand my caution. "

"It's like saying you never take us seriously."

"This is not the correct interpretation." Ji Xun declared flatly, "From the perspective of pure efficiency, there is no moral component in this matter. As for you or your child, it does not affect my decision-making. If you want to get a real answer, it is that you are not adapted to the times. There is no need to keep the path that is impossible to succeed."

"Is this what you really think?"

"Yes, Jules. But you can put away the weapon hidden in your clothes. There is no need to keep your system and ideas. That doesn't mean I will devise a way to kill you. Wait for me Once you've done what you have to do, I can let you go."

"That statement is very contradictory."

"It's not contradictory." Ji Xun said in a friendly tone, "It just means that your life and death don't matter."

The exasperation on Jules' face disappeared completely, and her free hand came out of the pocket of her coat.At this moment, she stared at Ji Xun with some kind of surprise and suspicion.

"you……"

"I'm not an information agent—but if you think about it carefully enough, Jules, even in your day, the line between machine and life is blurry. It's not a particularly imperceptible problem. In fact, although you failed to create a truly infinite structure, I noticed that you were very close to the information collective mind. If you had enough resources at that time, perhaps a new mind would be born from the computing center .This has happened more than once in the organization you are planning to join. There is so much unknown information for you in this era, once the cosmic censorship here disappears, I don't think you or your colleagues will cause any Risk. The first thing you have to do is simply survive in this era."

"Your new age is an age of chaos," repeated Jul, "an age of complete chaos."

"Did you never imagine that the universe would usher in such a new era?"

"I thought it would be about the same as it used to be—that's the thing with cycles, Mr. Ji Xun. But I thought I'd congratulate you, congratulate you on having more options. Anyway, there's our gift in it. Yes The strength we have left has paved the way for a new era, and I hope the expedition will go further."

Jules stepped back.She started to stay away from the golden bell, and approached the edge of the "dead zone".Ji Xun stared at her actions, wondering if she would jump into that dream of undefined death.He could get her thoughts by analyzing her brain waves if he wanted to, but it wouldn't be worth it.That needs to call too many devices and threads.He is indeed concentrating resources on more important things—finding out the definition of “dead zone”—or trying to figure out how to survive—it is almost impossible to control a activated third-level wishing machine in such a short period of time. Unpromising, unless using a higher level machine.But in the little thread he had spared, Toba's simulation data was roaring.No, it doesn't give her any chance.It demands revenge rather than compensation.He had no choice but to provide assistance, which was his duty as a partner.

"You left no gifts," he said.

"You can keep that view. I'm not going to make a value argument."

"It's not just opinion - I've noticed many clues long before you came here, Jul. It's something we talked about too, and I told you that the origin of the expedition doesn't matter, it couldn't have come from to you, because you got the order all wrong."

What?—Jul moved his lips soundlessly.

Data Tuba let out a frightening laugh.

"A higher-level wishing machine can be compatible with a lower-level infinite machine." Ji Xun explained under the urging of the vengeful spirit, "When you asked this wishing machine to escape from the sky, it didn't take you there. The next era. Imagine that you are in a primordial universe that has just been born. All the resources that need to be brewed and deposited have not been completed, and even changes in space density and some constants will kill you. It determines that you cannot live in the new era. The era survives, so it decides to take you to escape to the upper reaches of history. In terms of performance, it can easily reset history and turn you into a group of time travellers, but that must be allowed by a higher-level wish-granting machine. Unfortunately, such a wishing machine did exist before your time, a machine that reached at least level [-], and its user demanded to keep the current history line stable. Therefore, when your wishing machine came to this During the era, it was incorporated in the form of cosmic censorship, a star layer that was always in a state of collapse and could not be observed by the outside world—I think this is why you are always in a fall away from the outside world.”

Ji Xun helped up the overturned cup.Clear water welled up from the bottom of the cup, and his desire to test was fulfilled.He used a magnet mounted under the skin to pull Juul back to the center of the platform before a serious cracking attempt could begin.

"We can explain it this way," he said briskly, "for this era, you may also be a potential future, a possible final outcome. I cannot absolutely deny the connection between you and me, because if Things go badly enough that our descendants may think they are the only successful advanced civilization in the universe."
