Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

In the dark night, Tang Rao landed on the rooftop of a tall building and quietly looked at the many small single-family houses next to the building. They were all five-story buildings. This was an area where many residents lived, Lolita. No. 2299 lives in this area.

Tang Rao planned to wait until late at night. The current problems can no longer wait any longer. Next year, Tianji Space Country will hold a development exchange promotion meeting with their city. The group of people living on the extraterrestrial space station have their own civilization. , and even a lot of technology is needed. The reason why the planet has no light now is because after the impact of the asteroid, some harmful special substances completely enveloped the entire planet. There have been previous studies and breakthroughs using existing technologies. Those special material layers failed, and even nuclear weapons alone could not do it.

Tang Rao has already discussed with several other guys and many senior officials of Section 10 that if he wants to break through the thick layer of harmful substances, he must cooperate with the people on the space station.

A long time ago, when Tang Rao was still a physics professor at the university, he received a secret invitation to participate in the construction of an extraterrestrial space station, but Tang Rao refused. It was a group of wealthy people who already had more money than they could spend. They funded the establishment, and after gathering a large number of scientists, this group of wealthy people also announced that they had become an extraterrestrial space station country called the United States of Sky.

This was a plan that started in the early 20th century, half a century before the asteroid was discovered, and it was indeed implemented steadily. Tang Rao still remembered that some rich people took their families to experience the space station for a month after it was established. The incident became big news around the world.

Under the temptation of money, many top talents have moved closer to a group of wealthy people who are extremely wealthy. The space station plan was implemented. Perhaps due to a strange combination of circumstances, when the planet suffered a near-destructive blow, many people left. The ground, before the earth has completely become extremely harsh.

At that time, Tang Rao remembered that there should be at least 60,000 people who were qualified to board the spaceship. They originally wanted to go there, but unfortunately they encountered many things on the way. When they arrived At that moment, the last spaceship took off.

"It's okay. Maybe we can live on. After all, haven't our bodies undergone some changes?"

Tang Rao still remembered what Jean said when he was in despair. The great disaster that officially began to unfold after that swept the entire planet and tore everything apart. It was in such a desperate situation that the seven of them stood up step by step. Come over.

Tang Rao pressed her forehead and raised the corners of her mouth with a slightly bitter smile. She shook her head and exhaled a long breath.

The most troublesome thing now is the quantum mobile technology mastered by the enemy. This technology was developed and researched by Section 10 as early as 40 years ago, but it is in a semi-storage state.

Quantum technology is currently most widely used in computers. All light and shadow mobile phones have quantum technology. In the past, a computer had to retrieve 10,000 pieces of information to find similar information, which required confirmation one by one. However, quantum technology But it is different. It can use 10,000 searches to confirm 10,000 pieces of information, and its performance is more than 10,000 times that of previous computers.

In other fields, quantum technology is also being used, but for things like mobile, they are not planning to release it yet. There are still many semi-storage technologies in the city that cannot be released because the harm caused may be far away. The benefits are greater than the technology itself.

The process of urban mechanization is also due to the population explosion. If you want to continue to expand the city into the barrier zone, the conditions are too harsh. Productivity and labor force are currently controlled at a constant state. If the city wants to continue to develop, it will inevitably require the intervention of mechanization. .

Tang Rao is also very clear that once mechanized, people will no longer be called human beings. In addition to sleeping and resting, daily life such as eating, going to the toilet, reading and writing, bathing and shopping will no longer exist, and even the minimum physiological needs will no longer exist. No need.

The process of mechanization is bound to eliminate too many people, and the only place for them to go is the dark and lightless barrier area. This is why Jean is so strongly opposed.

Her thoughts were starting to get a little confused. Tang Rao shook her hair and jumped down slowly. Her body fell slowly in the air. Gradually, Tang Rao landed steadily on the street. She quickly entered the block and was already there. It's almost 2am.

Soon Tang Rao came to the door of room 2299. As soon as he approached, Tang Rao felt that there was an invisible door here. Tang Rao took out the key. I am afraid that anyone who comes here, if there is no key, there will be no room here. The self-defense mechanism will be activated in an instant.

Tang Rao held up the key in her hand. At this moment, a round and bright keyhole suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The key in Tang Rao's hand also began to flash with white light. After she inserted the key into the keyhole, the door of the room in front of her opened. .

"Welcome, Miss Tang Rao. I am the housekeeper of this family, Polly."

In front of her was a man in his 60s or 70s with a gentleman's hair, a compliment, a smile and a decent manner. However, Tang Rao didn't say a word to the housekeeper. She could tell at a glance that the housekeeper was an artificial intelligence. , a physical robot built on an artificial intelligence virtual body.

"Ms. Tang Rao, do you want coffee or black tea? According to my observation, you should be a black tea fan."

Tang Rao turned his head angrily.

"It's none of your business, where is Lolita?"

Tang Rao said, the butler immediately bowed and said.

"I'm sorry to make you unhappy, Miss Tang Rao, Miss Lolita is in the room upstairs."

After coming in, Tang Rao immediately understood that this housekeeper should have been made by that guy Werther from Section 10. In addition to protecting and caring for Lolita, his main function is also to monitor. This is indeed a good idea, because it The thing is a machine and can be controlled, but it seems that the virtual body carried by this guy should be a complete artificial intelligence.

Tang Rao went directly to the 5th floor in the folded room with brown carpet. At this time, the room at the opposite end had been opened. There was an old man sitting in it, wearing clothes with starry sky patterns, sitting on a rocking chair, his face His demeanor relaxed.

"Hello, Mr. Tang Rao, it's hard for me to get up now. It's all Polly who is taking care of me."

Tang Rao walked over quickly and raised a hand to indicate that Lolita did not have to get up from the chair. Tang Rao was surprised that Lolita was still alive, but now that he saw Lolita, She was sure that this girl was Lolita, Werther's most proud student at that time. The little girl who was often scolded by Werther and cried bitterly. Now she has gray hair and her face is covered with tight wrinkles. He doesn't look very good either.

"Are you really Lolita?"

Tang Rao was still a little unsure. All the 1,000 people used in the experiment had died. She took others to dispose of the bodies, including Lolita.
