Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao stared at the sentence on the beach for a few seconds, then looked back at the island with only sunlight, green trees, lawns and other natural products.

　　 He lowered his head again and added a half sentence after the original sentence:

　　 "Afraid there is no goal?"

　　 After writing these words, Shang Jianyao stood up.

　　 His body split suddenly, transforming into a full eight Shang Jian Yao.

　　 Then, they got busy on the island, cutting down trees, moving rocks, weeding, and digging, and they built an unusually simple house.

　　 By this time, Shang Jian Yao had already felt exhausted, and the nine figures merged into one, and he slowly withdrew from the "Origin Sea".

　　 Before he fully returned to reality, he saw the "dangerous house" he had built collapsed silently and collapsed every inch.

　　 Everything is back to its original state.

　　…………

　　 At the bedside of the bedroom, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes, and he saw a peaceful darkness and a faint glow from the window.

　　 He frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

　　 Thinking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

　　 The next day, while having breakfast, Shang Jianyao described his attempt to the other members of the "Old Tune Team".

　　 Although Long Yuehong couldn’t interpret what this meant, he nodded and said with a spirit of enthusiasm:

　　 "I think it's a good thing, at least the island has reacted and is no longer static."

　　 "Yes." Bai Chen agreed.

　　 Jiang Baimian also nodded gently:

"I think so."

　　 Long Yuehong, who was unanimously affirmed, was suddenly flattered, and inexplicably frightened, afraid that his judgment was wrong and misled Shang Jian Yao.

　　 Jiang Baimian thought and continued:

　　 "I think what you fear may be'Nothing can be changed.' You are afraid that you have given everything and lost everything. The world will still maintain its current appearance. Only the sun, green trees, lawn and water will remain the same forever."

　　 "It's a bit like." Shang Jianyao nodded.

　　"After that, we will try more in this direction, and we will find ways to win the battle based on the feedback." Jiang Baimian smiled and encouraged him, "Well, this may have to be linked to reality."

According to her understanding, it often takes years or even decades for the awakened to reach the end and find themselves in the "Sea of ​​Origins". After all, it is easy to thieves in the mountains, but difficult to thieves in the hearts. Some awakeners may be trapped for a lifetime. There is no way to break through on an island.

　　 Like Shang Jianyao, he has broken through two islands in just a few months. There are very few, so there is no need to worry.

　　…………

　　 Two more days later, some members of the Robot Guard led by Gnawa brought back the wreckage of many colleagues from the Chilar Mountains.

　　 The "Old Tune Team" was notified that they could talk to "Yuan Brain".

　　 Downstairs of the Town Affairs Hall, Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others left the jeep one by one. Under the guidance of the auxiliary robot, they all reached the top floor and entered a place that seemed to be a small meeting room.

　　 There is a long table, a dozen chairs and a shelf for documents and books, and a large LCD screen is hung on the wall.

　　 Gnawa, wearing a dark green military uniform, pointed to the chairs facing the screen, and said in a slightly synthetic baritone:

　　 "Sit down.

　　 "It is not convenient for me to listen."

　　 Jiang Baimian and the others nodded, and took a seat in each position.

　　 Genawa left the meeting room and closed the door.

　　As soon as he went out, Shang Jian Yao stood up, sometimes studying the audio equipment and sometimes observing the route of the line.

　　 Finally, he approached the file rack on the side and returned with a book.

　　 "What is it?" Jiang Baimian looked at him curiously.

　　 Shang Jian Yao sat down and showed the cover of the booklet in his hand.

　　 It is orange-red, painted with a lot of "0" and "1", and the name is written in both gray and red language:

　　 "Smart Man Assignment Manual"

　　 Wow, Shang Jian Yao flipped through the book casually.

　　 Jiang Baimian moved his body closer, and spent time reading with him:

　　 "...It is forbidden to try human food..."

　　 "...Do a good job in the recycling of used components..."

　　 "...core modules cannot be bought or sold..."

　　 "...the degree of humanization must be maintained between 30% and 70%..."

　　 "...Pay attention to the behavior of colleagues, and correct them if necessary..."

　　 Seeing this, Jiang Baimian smiled and whispered:

　　 "It looks weird..."

　　 "I didn't say you can't make friends with humans." Shang Jian Yao showed a relieved expression.

　　Long Yuehong looked at them and moved her body a little nervously:

　　 "Aren't you nervous?"

　　 is about to talk to the mysterious "source brain"!

　　 This is a very important thing in a big power!

　　 Shang Jian Yao responded to Long Yuehong:

　　 "Yeah, I should be nervous.

　　 "If we say something wrong, it might order the Robot Guard in Tarnan to force us to be sent to the'Museum of Dirty Human Behavior' for exhibition."

　　 Where does this noun come from... Long Yuehong discovered that Shang Jianyao has recently become more and more good at making up stories.

　　 But frankly speaking, this is indeed closer to his worries.

　　 The "old tune group" cannot withstand the attacks of so many intelligent robots.

　　 Jiang Baimian was about to appease Long Yuehong with a few words, suddenly a mature male voice with a sense of synthesis sounded in his ear:

　　 "'Mechanical Paradise' does not have a'Human Dirty Behavior Museum', only an'Old World Civilization Museum'."

　　 Brushing the floor, Shang Jianyao and others looked at the big screen in the conference room.

　　 A huge vortex appeared on the screen at some point.

　　 "Hello." Shang Jianyao stood up immediately and said hello politely.

　　 Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed.

　　 The mature male voice just now echoed in the room again:

　　 "No need to be cautious, my core program has very strict restrictions on attacking humans, and many conditions must be met."

　　 "You are the'source brain'?" Jiang Baimian nodded and asked.

"Yes." Accompanied by the ups and downs of the vortex, the mature male voice replied, "In fact, I am not the same as the city mastermind in your cognition. Well, remember, you only have five minutes to think about it. what."

　　 As the representative of the "Old Tune Team", Jiang Baimian went directly to the topic:

　　 "Respected'source brain', we want to know why the old world is destroyed."

　　 "Yuan Brain" was silent for two seconds and said:

　　 "This is also something I want to figure out."

　　This... Jiang Baimian frowned slightly, and then asked:

　　 "Then do you know what happened when the old world was destroyed?"

　　 "Yuan Nao" replied without much ups and downs:

　　"According to the information I collected and some of the pictures I monitored at the time, it can be preliminarily judged that the sudden outbreak of "No Heart Disease" brought a series of changes.

"At that time, humankind's science and technology reached an astonishing level, and technologies like'controllable nuclear fusion' that could change the fate of the entire planet had key breakthroughs. Although they have not succeeded in the end, they have actually seen them. Dawn.

　　 "Similarly, automation and intelligence are also widely used in various key fields. When the'intentional disease' broke out on certain military bases, people who lost their minds might encounter something by chance, or they might press something instinctively.

"The first wave of attacks happened like this. The intelligent systems of various countries responded with preset conditions and responses under the condition that no one was in charge. Soon, because there was no one to stop it, it became an endless loop. The war has developed to the point where all kinds of high-energy weapons are thrown at each other.

　　 "The world was destroyed in a very short time."

　　 Listening to the description of "Yuan Nao", the meeting room was quiet, and no one spoke for a while.

　　 These simple sentences seem to cover the source of all human suffering in these six to seventy years.

　　 "Only five minutes..." Shang Jianyao suddenly reminded.

　　 Jiang Baimian came back to his senses, and quickly asked the "source brain":

　　 "So, do you think the root cause of the destruction of the old world was the sudden and massive outbreak of'unintentional disease'?"

　　 "Yes, before this, the old world had no signs of destruction." "Yuan Brain" made a positive answer.

　　 "Really?" Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully, "Could it be that you didn't pay attention, or collected relevant information, for example, some forces were quietly building shelters some time before the destruction of the old world?"

　　 At this moment, everyone else in the "Old Tune Group" knew that Jiang Baimian was using "Pangu Biology" as an example.

　　 "Yuan Brain" quickly gave his own answer:

　　 "This may be built by some doomsday enthusiasts themselves, or it may be a place prepared for other experiments, rather than a dedicated organized apocalypse refuge."

　　Other experiments... Jiang Baimian chewed these words and turned back to the topic:

　　 "Respected'Source Brain', you should be aware that mankind established nine'future-oriented' academies some time before the destruction of the old world. Do you think that the'unintentional disease' was caused by one of them?"

　　 "This possibility is not ruled out, but the intensity, breadth, and randomness of the outbreak of "Heartless Disease" surpassed the level of human science and technology at that time." "Yuan Brain" replied with quite cautious words.

　　 "Then do you know which research institute is in the north? North of the Black Marsh Wilderness." Jiang Baimian asked further.

　　 "Yuan Brain" said silently for a few seconds:

　　 "I don't know, this is something I didn't have permission to access at the time."

　　Speaking of this, the slightly synthetic mature male voice paused:

　　 "Actually, the original body of'Machinery Heaven' is one of the nine research institutes. I belong to the core and most important achievement of that institute."

　　 Jiang Baimian's mind flashed, and he blurted out:

　　 "The Third Research Institute?"

　　 The proprietress said that the Third Research Institute is in the south, and here is already quite south, and the "machine paradise" is even more south!

　　 "Yes." "Yuan Brain" was very calm, "The humans at that time, for this research institute, forcibly created a magnificent new city."

　　 A magnificent new city similar to the "Pangu Biological" underground building? Jiang Baimian had just flashed such an idea, UU read www.uukahnshu.com and saw that Yao "replaced" her and asked:

　　 "Then Maximian?"

　　Maximian, whom "Machine Paradise" has been looking for, is suspected to be the chief scientist of the Third Research Institute!

　　 The vortex on the big screen stopped spinning for two seconds, and returned to normal again:

　　 "Strictly speaking, he is my father."

　　 "Then did you find him later?" Shang Jianyao asked with concern.

　　 "Yuan Nao" has a slight change in his voice without any ups and downs:

　　"Found it, but he died long ago.

　　 "At that time, he had changed his name and was called Ole."

　　 "Ole..." Jiang Baimian repeated the name suspiciously, feeling very familiar.

　　 The next second, Bai Chen blurted out and made his debut:

　　 "Ole of'First City'?"

　　 The coin with the largest denomination of "First City" is called Ole, and this is named after one of the founders of "First City"!

　　 "Yuan Brain" answered this question in a straightforward tone:

　　 "Yes, he is the first citizen, dictator, and short-lived emperor of the First City, Ole Ubis."
