From black technology to super engineering.

Time flies, and early summer is approaching.

Under the teacher's arrangement, Ai Wen's study time at Provincial Communications quickly got on track.

Of course, this is also related to her own personality. Her temperament is bright and cheerful, and she can chat with anyone. Although the teacher complained that she was gossip, it is undeniable that she only used a short In just one month, I became familiar with hundreds of people at the Brain Computer Center.Even in the academician community, she is familiar with the roads. She often stays at Ye Ming's house on the pretext of "cultivating a relationship with Ye Xiaoxi" and never leaves until she has finished her meal.

And her reasons are very good - now the little Niuniu is only two years old, and when she succeeds in her studies, she will be able to be Ye Xiaoxi's tutor... But Qi and Mo still listened to her rhetoric...

I don't know if it's because she calls "Master's wife" too sweetly.

In short, she did not regard herself as an outsider, nor did everyone around her regard her as an outsider.

……

"Tong, May Day is next week, how did you arrange it?"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ai Wen, who was sitting on the sofa brushing her paper, immediately put down her tablet and asked Tang Yutong who came in.

The dormitory is a standard two-unit apartment. The bedroom is quite spacious and can accommodate desks, bookcases, wardrobes, etc. without being crowded at all. However, the living room is quite small, with only a sofa, a coffee table and a few simple pieces of furniture - all of which belong to the apartment. Standard.

But in their dormitory, there was a piano in the living room.

"do not know."

"Huh? If it's arranged, it's arranged. If there's no arrangement, there's no arrangement... What do you mean you don't know?"

"Because Director Yi hasn't arranged it yet, there is a possibility that he will go to the moon on May Day." Tang Yutong put on her slippers, weakly walked to the sofa, then slumped down and sat down, leaning on Ai Wen, with a melancholy look on her face: "I I’m convinced, Teacher Ita is too strict..."

"..."

"It's true. If you don't believe me, try it - sometimes I even have the illusion that the data, papers, topics, etc. we are working on now are completely useless. Teacher Ita knows everything." Tang Yutong kept shaking her head: "What I feel is... we are a bunch of primary school students, and she is an undergraduate student who is playing house with us."

Ai Wen coughed lightly, rubbed Tang Yutong's hair, and smiled: "Who asked you to learn data analysis? She is an AI, so of course she is qualified. If you learn my major, I guarantee she won't know."

"...You are also a monster." Tang Yutong sat up straight and looked at Ai Wen, who was several years younger than her. She did not hide her envy and emotion.

Even though she is only 19 years old - a year for a Kerong person is almost the same as a human, and a human's age is probably in her early twenties - but she has actually been "excited" since she was a child, and There are also dedicated palace teachers for careful guidance.

As early as the time of Blue Star, Union College has tested Egwene's knowledge field - in fact, Egwene is a member of the scientific integration research group at Union College, responsible for translating, comparing, and unifying various natural disciplines. concepts, formulas, theorems, etc.

The result of the test was that her knowledge was not only very broad, but also at least reached the level of a human Ph.D. student in the fields of physics and biology.

"Stop talking, I sacrificed my childhood to get it..." Ai Wen put down the tablet and said with a smile: "The teacher is right, there is no genius, it is all the result of hard work - I have been beaten by my hands. You’ve never seen it when it’s heartfelt.”

"Hey, your mother is willing to beat you?"

"That's so hard to give up! I didn't get beaten until I was 14 years old."

"Okay...I'll admit defeat." After hearing that the princess was beaten by Ban Xin, Tang Yutong felt much better: "Let's go, this weekend, I will take you to eat hot pot!"

As soon as she heard about eating hot pot, Ai Wen immediately jumped up: "Is it outside? Or are you fooling me again..."

She has been on Earth for a month, but due to her special status and the heavy workload of starting school, she has basically never been out of school - the farthest places are to the data center and Isilita on the next street. Meet the remaining work teams.

"Outside." Tang Yutong looked at her and said with a smile: "I know there is a bean curd hot pot, the dipping sauce is so delicious..."

“Let’s go—red soup or clear soup?”

"Of course the bean curd hot pot has clear soup."

"Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!" Egwene said while picking up the large headphones on the piano.

Tang Yutong looked at her excited expression and just breathed out lightly.

——She applied to take Egwene out to play very early, but her superiors always considered that the little princess was a restless master, so they never agreed.

After all, this is the heir to a galaxy. If something really goes wrong on Earth... it will have a huge impact.

Tang Yutong even knew that Aita had a special process to pay attention to the situation around Ai Wen. Although it was not monitoring, as long as there was the slightest sign of something wrong, it would definitely lead to manual intervention from the CNY department.

Today she was able to take Egwene out to eat hot pot. It is said that the main reason was the Queen of Kerong who said hello and said that since Egwene chose to live and study in the human world, she should be treated like an ordinary student.

The two simply packed up and then changed their shoes and went out. As soon as they left the gate of the brain computer center, a BYD parked in front of them. After a while, He Mo got out of the back seat of the car.

"Hey, where are you two going?" He Mo greeted them with a smile. "Hello, senior sister." Ai Wen quickly said hello to He Mo. She had long known that He Mo was her senior sister, and she was also the boss of Jizhi Technology, and even a researcher at the Brain Computer Center. The office was next door to the teacher: "We I’m going to have hot pot, do you want to come with me? I’ll treat you!”

"I'm so excited...I won't go. I have something to do with your teacher. Where are you going?"

"Um...where are we going?"

Tang Yutong pursed her lips and said a place name.

He Mo smiled and shook his head: "It's a bit far. It's rush hour if you want to take a taxi. Take my car - just call Aita to see you off."

Ai Wen was about to delay, but Tang Yutong immediately thanked her and opened the car door for Ai Wen.

After a while, the driverless car automatically found its way and quickly entered the main street.

Both of them were sitting in the back row. Egwene was lying on the front seat, looking at the rising neon lights on the street and the passing cars on the road. In the sky, there was a cluster of drones like stars, and her eyes gradually changed. Got to be a little confused.

"What do you think?"

"I'm thinking that when technology has reached its end, what should ordinary people pursue?" Ai Wen pressed her face against the back of the chair and turned to look at Tang Yutong: "Tong, what do you humans pursue?"

"We..." Tang Yutong was silent for a few seconds, and then smiled slightly: "If I told you that more than ten years ago, we were still pursuing the solution to the problem of food and clothing for mankind around the world, would you believe it?"

"Of course I believe that there are still videos from 20 years ago on the Internet, and you can see many incredible scenes - there are actually live broadcasts of eating excrement..." Ai Wen made a disgusting gesture.

Tang Yutong chuckled: "I made you laugh."

"No, it's exactly like this. It's knowing this that I feel even more about the greatness of human beings." Ai Wen said seriously: "In just a dozen years, we have completed the transformation from a backward civilization to a high-level star." The leap of civilization... This is something that subverts my previous understanding. So much so that within the kingdom, many people are unwilling to believe in the true strength of human beings."

As she spoke, Egwene snorted softly: "We should catch them and take a look!"

"Well, once your side has access to the Internet, they should slowly start to believe it."

"It's not necessarily...many people have been deeply ingrained." Ai Wen frowned slightly: "We have experienced too many stable years. Hundreds of millions of people have no worries about food and clothing. A good quota system can ensure that everyone has food. — they don’t even have to work.”

"But is the evolution of civilization and the advancement of science and technology just for people to survive without working?"

Tang Yutong was slightly startled and stared at Ai Wen with some confusion.

"I don't think so!" Ai Wen slowly shook her head: "I have been forced to study all the way. I know that only when people are forced can they master knowledge and progress. Yes, I do like learning and love science. But if I was born with clothes to stretch my hands, food to open my mouth, and pampering, I would definitely not know that I still have a brain capable of mastering knowledge.”

Tang Yutong hummed softly: "So even now, we are conducting compulsory education for all."

"We do, too, but our compulsory education is more of a skills education - just basic literacy and engineering operations."

When Tang Yutong heard this, he suddenly asked out of curiosity: "By the way, I've seen a bird's-eye view of your city and found that... there doesn't seem to be a special industrial zone in your city planning. How come..."

"Oh, our industrial area is all underground, and all are controlled remotely." Egwene said and shrugged: "Brain-computer control, you only need to wear a helmet to work."

"Sounds like quite advanced?" Tang Yutong looked back at the completely invisible brain-computer center and said with a smile: "The brain-computer center has been developing brain control technology like yours since the beginning."

"It's quite advanced, but compared to Aita's full automation, it's far behind." Egwene said, shaking her head: "If all of us join the brain control task, we can achieve a huge explosion in industry and production capacity... But now we only need tens of millions of people to be connected to brain control to meet everyone's needs. The remaining hundreds of millions of people... have long been lazy and only know how to indulge in the virtual world every day."

Tang Yutong pursed her lips, shook her head and smiled: "Don't tell me, humans seem to have this sign too."

"But humans have Aita! With Aita, as long as we keep Aita, we can realize the self-replication of automated factories..." The light in Egwene's eyes kept flashing: "Automated factories are growing exponentially, as long as Aita doesn't cause problems. , in a hundred years at most, humans will be able to spread factories all over the entire... Well, it’s an exaggeration to say that the universe is a bit exaggerated, but the local galaxy group will definitely be fine.”

"So, no matter what mankind pursues, you have this capital."

Egwene frowned slightly: "But we have no capital. Once our comfortable life is broken by external forces, it will be catastrophic."

Tang Yutong breathed out softly: "It's okay, haven't you started introducing Aita? And we are originally a major alliance of civilizations... In the future, technology will definitely develop in the same direction."

"Yes. But... Tong, if you were the heir to human civilization, would you hope that humans would simply be raised by us without any contribution?" Ai Wen turned to look at Tang Yutong.

Tang Yutong was speechless for a moment.

"You don't hope, right?" Ai Wen smiled slightly: "So, people in Kerong should still pursue it a little bit."

Tang Yutong looked at Ai Wen quietly, with an indescribable emotion rising in her heart - jealousy, emotion, and relief?
All in all it's complicated.

——Egwene finally faced her identity as the heir of the galaxy.
