Darkness is Coming

Binary is a number system widely used in computer technology. Every two is added to one, and one is borrowed as two. There are only two states of "0" and "1" in the single digit, which represent "off" and "on" respectively. This is the origin of the name "Zero One Base".

The ones digit in binary is either zero, or is about to return to zero. Therefore, the meaning of the "Binary" recited by the translation machine is not difficult to understand on the surface, but the deeper meaning makes Yang Xiaoqian feel like a drum. Can't stop jumping.

   Looking at the appearance of the variant, it doesn't seem to be talking to Liu Yuanzhou through the translation machine, but to the translation machine itself. What does this mean? Does it mean that the artificial intelligence life developed by Liu Yuanzhou at the Zero One Base has been born? Does it mean that the "system" in the zero-one base already has the logic of human thinking?

A machine without a soul may not be unable to write poetry. Although he doesn't know much about computers, Yang Xiaoqian knows that with the development of technology, one day there will be a machine that can write poetry, paint, and even create literature, because for thousands of years, most The mediocre works created by humans stem from imitation, and machines can imitate better.

   But machines without autonomous thinking are limited to imitation. This poem is not like a mere imitation.

"Starting from 'zero', struggling hard, and finally becoming 'one', but one step further, it is necessary to return to zero again. As an individual, facing such a predicament, it is very sad." Sitting opposite the translation machine The woman was very emotional, "However, in a binary life, is it talking about me, or is it talking about yourself?"

   The indicator light of the translation machine flashed again and again, this time it was red, and finally it gave a response: "Because the hardware defect is too big, it is still difficult for me to deal with such a problem."

"It's okay, just ask casually, you don't have to answer." The middle-aged woman shook her head slightly, "When the supercomputer is overclocked, your green light starts to flash, and when the supercomputer is overheated, your red light starts to flash, which means Are you thinking and you are burning your brain? The design of your reminder light is quite human-friendly and very interesting. Was it designed by Liu Yuanzhou for you?"

"No, this is my design and my first work." The translation machine turned the chassis, facing Yang Xiaoqian, and said with a louder voice: "President Yang, hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm 'Zero One' ."

Zero One, Zero One Base, the meaning of which is self-evident, this is likely to be an artificial intelligence life, if this is the case, then standing in front of Yang Xiaoqian is not a rough-looking translation machine, but the greatest human invention so far. It is a dazzling beacon that guides human beings to gallop through the stars and the sea, and it may also be a Pandora's box that releases the shackles and releases disasters.

   Anyone who can roughly understand the concept of artificial intelligence should pay homage to such a miracle, but Yang Xiaoqian didn't even look at it.

Yang Xiaoqian focused all his attention on the middle-aged woman beside Zero One. When he saw this mutant face to face, Yang Xiaoqian felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. This strange feeling had never been seen before when viewing photos and surveillance videos. Appear.

The middle-aged woman finally noticed Yang Xiaoqian's gaze. She Shi Shiran turned around and shifted her gaze from Zero One's green light to Yang Xiaoqian's eyes. The light in these black eyes was more dazzling than the red light at the top of Zero One. .

   "Yo, Yang Xiaoqian."

The woman stood up slowly, raised her hand and took off the felt hat. When the felt hat covering her face fell, in less than a second, her appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes, not only her facial features, but also her body shape and size. Hairstyle, even a super-class magician will applaud and shout wonderfully when he sees this face-changing kung fu.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The    felt hat quietly fell to the ground, revealing a face that often appears in nightmares.

White!

   Yang Xiaoqian's heart also fell down like that felt hat, falling into the extremely cold abyss.

   Even in the worst scenario, no one thought that Liu Yuanzhou would conspire with Bai, not because everyone had absolute trust in Liu Yuanzhou, but because no one dared to make this assumption.

Once Bai and Liu Yuanzhou collude, no one will be their opponent. Perhaps in the future, among the six billion people in the world, there will be awakened people with superpowers in the brain domain, who can compete with Bai and Liu Yuanzhou - even if Bai and Liu Yuanzhou do not do it Eliminate potential opponents that may exist - but now, in the understanding of all those in the know, Bai and Liu Yuanzhou, these two names are symbols of invincibility, even in the war against corpses, another symbolic figure, Yang Xiaoqian, was also mythical In the face of the two, there is only a heavy sense of powerlessness and frustration, and there is no hope of victory.

  If the two join forces, everything in the world will be at your fingertips. Under their conspiracy, the human regime will no longer be a rock-solid city, but a crumbling and dangerous house.

  If the two form an alliance, then the ending is already doomed in the way they need, and all struggles are just delaying the end of the period, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

So no one has put forward this hypothesis, because it makes no sense to put forward this hypothesis. If Liu Yuanzhou and Bai are on the same front, then there is no difference between finding out early and finding out later - because the only possibility that they can find out is that they want you to find out, which is Two monsters capable of deceiving the world.

"So, why do you want me to come here? You want to kill me?" Yang Xiaoqian was full of doubts and could not see any reasonable reason for Liu Yuanzhou and Bai Xuan to harm him at this time. .

  Bai looked at Yang Xiaoqian who was standing motionless like a wooden stake, tilted his head to one side, and said, "Ah, it's been a long time since we met again, and you're ignoring me?"

   Seeing Bai's disgusting face and hearing Bai's disgusting voice, the black mist around Yang Xiaoqian's body began to boil, causing the air around him to become anxious. The high temperature caused the density of the air around him to change, and the light reflected in different refractive indices, creating distorted fluctuations.

   "You want to kill me again?" There seemed to be a bit of helplessness hidden in the smile at the corner of Bai's mouth, "Do you have to do it every time, can't you just sit down and have a good chat?"

   "Okay, I can't run anyway, it's better to chat with you." Yang Xiaoqian took a deep breath and said so, but he was actually looking around with the corner of his eye, ready to start.

   Even if he knew that this was just Bai's avatar, and even if he was torn to pieces, he couldn't really kill Bai, but Yang Xiaoqian still couldn't restrain the anger and killing intent that burned all over his body.

The reason why    did not act immediately was because Yang Xiaoqian still wanted to see Liu Yuanzhou and asked him why.

   At this moment, a wheelchair slipped out of nowhere, and Liu Yuanzhou, who was sitting in the wheelchair, stretched out his hand towards Yang Xiaoqian and handed out a cup of hot tea.

   "Come, have some tea."
