Inside the scientific research base.

The voices of the quarrel intensified.

Jiang Cheng was sitting at the head seat of the conference room. He lowered his head and quietly listened to the quarrel on the left and right sides. The opposing sides were Chen Ang and Shen Yiran.

No, it’s not just that, the scientific research group of fifty people was divided into two factions, and they were divided into two factions. They output their own opinions, and the main content of the discussion was whether to continue the process of implanting brain-like chips.

Just a few hours ago, after the chip was implanted, Experiment No. 1 correctly executed the instructions, shocked all the researchers with astonishing results, and then quickly decayed and died.

It seems that the RBN experimental subject cannot accept the intervention of foreign objects. In order to prove this, Jiang Cheng conducted a test on No. 2.

It was still the same scene, the robotic arm accurately embedded the chip in a fixed position, and after "struggling" for a while, No. 2 received the command and then died.

The whole process took less than five minutes, and the brain-inspired project had already lost two experimental subjects, and the two experimental subjects cost the researchers two months of training time, as well as expensive time costs, scientific research costs, and so on.

In the midst of extreme heartache, Shen Yiran reached an agreement with several researchers. Since the subject does not want to be disturbed by the emotional board, or has a rejection reaction, then simply install an external link chip so as not to disrupt any of the original RBN. Plates, give them an absolute limit of freedom.

This may make the brain-inspired experiment successful, otherwise the third RBN will be forcibly implanted, and the loss will increase.

Shen Yiran stared straight at Chen Ang who had an opposing opinion with her. The two had been arguing for about half an hour, neither of them could convince the other, and they were deadlocked like this.

In fact, she still has a selfish intention that she didn't say. From the beginning to the end, she witnessed all the tiny growth of the experimental subject. This feeling of giving birth to a life made her really unable to bear to see any more necrotic materials, so Shen Yiran thought To find other solutions.

For example, if you don't erase the emotional plate and keep it in a complete body, will it solve the problem perfectly?

But Chen Ang has concerns. His idea has been agreed with Jiang Cheng before. Any inanimate individual must not have the same emotional value as humans. They must not have sorrow and joy, and they must not have the ability to think independently. Puppet, this involves an ethical issue.

If the brain-like state is perfect and gives a high degree of freedom, what will it define?

"Creatures created by humans?"

"Non-living but human-like matter?"

Is it comparable to humans everywhere, has the ability to process massive amounts of information, works like a supercomputer, and has emotional responses? It is said that it is not a living thing, but it just fits the concept of a perfect living thing.

"Since an external chip can be installed, we can control the experimental subjects. Why worry about their resistance? We only need to issue instructions and they will execute them. Why not try a new idea? Do we have to go one way? In the dark, don’t you turn back if you don’t hit the south wall? Scientific research and experiments need to be flexible, and I hope Dean Jiang will consider my suggestion.”

Shen Yiran told Jiang Cheng very sincerely that she knew it would be useless to quarrel with Chen Ang, since she couldn't come to a unified conclusion anyway.

The 50 researchers present here all know in their hearts that in the end it is Jiang Cheng who really makes up his mind, and the opinions he adopts can be implemented. Therefore, everyone's eyes can't help but look at this backbone.

Jiang Cheng was silent for a while, and only raised his head when everyone stopped talking. First, he took a very serious look at Shen Yiran.

Expectant eyes converged on him, waiting for an answer.

"I decided to try again. If the No. 3 subject declines again, we are considering other opinions. Although RBN is expensive, it is not too exaggerated. We can train a hundred of them, so let's do it. Break up the meeting!"

"Dean Jiang!"

Upon hearing the reply, Shen Yiran stood up abruptly, looking very anxious, wanting to say something but didn't know how to change Jiang Cheng's mind.

She has seen it more than once. Few people can change what Jiang Cheng decides. He speaks loudly and rightly, because he is firm, very firm.

From the beginning of the plan, his first consideration was to get rid of the emotional plate, even if the experimental subject was abolished, he was unwilling to change this idea.

The key to breaking the game lies in the success and failure of No. 3. If the situation is exactly the same again, then Jiang Cheng may have to design another plan.

In the laboratory, many researchers gathered together. They did not speak, but quietly watched Jiang Cheng operate on the observation platform.

Everyone's thoughts are subtly different. Chen Ang and Wan Xingyan firmly believe that there are no mistakes in every link, and there must be something wrong somewhere else. They and Jiang Cheng have perfected the theory countless times, and of course they believe in it.

Jiang Cheng started to operate the No. 3 experimental body. Shen Yiran stared at his hand nervously, then turned to look at the culture tank, and her eyes flicked between the two. She really didn't want to witness it again and again. The painstaking efforts over and over again go to waste.

This feeling is very tormented.

The robotic arm starts, cuts the culture tank, looks for the RBN material module, destroys the neuron and then implants it, all in one go.

This time, Jiang Cheng didn't even test the calculation speed for the linear equation system, he knew that if the experimental body decays next, no matter how fast the speed is, it will be useless...

Shen Yiran and the other researchers watched together, holding their breath without blinking their eyes.

However, that nightmarish scene reappeared. Starting from the area where the chip was implanted, the grid-like neurons began to break inch by inch, changing from shiny brown to dilapidated off-white, instantly appearing lifeless.

On the observation deck, the display that lost the connection with the No. 3 experimental body showed another failure.

Jiang Cheng was silent.

Shen Yiran turned her head away, her eye circles turned red suddenly, she was already emotionally sensitive, the successive blows made her a little unbearable, she might need to take a break.

She lowered her head dejectedly, tears fell like broken beads, Shen Yiran's cry was silent crying, she still kept quiet, but the choking sound was contagious to others, making the mood of the whole laboratory It's all a little sad.

"Today, let's stop here first." Jiang Cheng got up, didn't look at the researchers, and walked out of the room after saying this, he needed a quiet environment to think.

by the window.

Jiang Cheng stared at a red willow growing in the wind and sand in the distance, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

He didn't think about the reason why he failed, and now he has to throw away all thoughts, just let his thoughts fly, and empty his mind, the more empty the better.

The tense state is very exhausting. He seems to be looking at the red willows, and also seems to be looking at the air, looking lost.

Failure is not scary... what is scary is that if you don't know the reason, there is no possibility of solving it.

Jiang Cheng couldn't show confusion or sadness, and he didn't want to see the experimental subject degenerate again, but if he wanted to get something, he had to pay a price.

Where is the key to breaking the game?

Jiang Cheng let out a breath and pursed the corners of his mouth.

It just so happened that at this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated several times, and it would be in this state when there was an incoming call in the silent state. Jiang Cheng took out the phone suspiciously, and it turned out to be a call from Luo Xiaoli.

He pressed the answer button, and a familiar voice came from the phone, "Hello, brother, are you busy now?"

"Not busy, what's the matter?"

"I'm in the hospital now..."

"What happened?"

Jiang Cheng immediately became nervous when he heard the words, and his tone was a little rushed.

"It's not my accident..." Luo Xiaoli hesitated, "It's Zhao Xuerou, she's passed out now, and I'm waiting for her family to come over."

Jiang Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he never imagined that Xiaoli was involved with Zhao Xuerou, what happened to the coma?

Then, through the narration on the phone, Jiang Cheng knew how many thrilling things happened in Lanjing during the days when he was away...

The story starts more than ten hours ago...

······

"Forehead······"

"Swish..."

When Zhao Xuerou woke up suddenly, she was in a dark room.

Just as she regained consciousness, an indescribable pain was conveyed from her limbs... The corner of Zhao Xuerou's mouth was broken, and the crack on it had not yet healed, and when she pulled the corner of her mouth, the piece of soft flesh would be torn.

The nerves in her brain were jumping, and the muscles in her legs would twitch occasionally. She felt a little numbness on her left cheek. When she reached out to touch it, she found that it was swollen and high. Covering it with her hands, the pain that made people gasp made her shrink back like an electric shock.

She stood up, and just as she moved, the sound of "哗哗哗" sounded, which was very ear-piercing in the silent room.

Zhao Xuerou looked at her ankles, and found that she was tied by a thick iron chain, and the other side of the iron chain was embedded in the wall. The heavy and cold chain looked like it was used by large animals. Her tender ankle hurts.

There is nothing in the house of tens of square meters, and it looks like it has been in disrepair. She raised her swollen face and looked around.

There are many spider webs in the corner of the wall, and a male spider with colorful tail is working hard to weave the web, preparing to catch the dazed moths.

The wall was only painted with a thin layer of white paint, and in some places it was so thin that the ugly gray-brown surface inside could be seen clearly. There was a puddle of something unknown on the ground, like syrup that had been spilled and then dried up. Oh... no, Zhao Xuerou identified it for a while and found that it was blood.

She turned her head to look at the only tall window in the room, and sat on the ground with her knees hugged, her expression as usual. In this claustrophobic environment, Zhao Xuerou was uncharacteristically not afraid or screaming. She just watched quietly, not knowing what she was thinking at all.

After careful observation, it can be found that Zhao Xuerou has many wounds on her body, bruises are clearly visible on her legs and wrists.

Outside, in the dilapidated hospital next to the courtyard, in a huge factory-like room, there are many patients sitting on chairs.

Most of them are seventeen or eighteen years old, and some are younger, with colorful dyed hair, scars on the left and right hands, dull expressions, and dull eyes.

These people are very similar to old people with dementia, but they are so young, and there is a strange sense of contrast. The atmosphere in the whole workshop was also weird, no one spoke, everyone was silent together, someone's saliva trickled down from the corner of his mouth, soaking through his front.

A few middle-aged doctors in white coats dragged a boy in from outside the factory building. They all wore masks, their faces were hidden underneath, and their eyes were extremely cold.

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was struggling desperately, but his hands and feet were firmly held down. He yelled at the same time, the veins on his neck were stretched out, and he spit out all kinds of obscenities, but he couldn't make the expressions of the doctors change at all. a bit.

They handcuffed the young man to death on a bed, and at the front of the electrified device, there was a magnetic plate that transmits current, which was pasted on his temples on both sides.

The eyes of the imprisoned young man immediately showed panic and despair. He was like a fish on a chopping board, wanting to struggle violently and fall off the platform to be chopped. He attacked these doctors with the most insulting words, and the reflection of the white coat appeared in his eyes.

"No... don't, you can't do this to me!" His handcuffed hand left a red mark in the process of dragging, "Help me! Don't stay there anymore, Let's run out together!"

The boy turned his head and shouted to the forty or fifty peers who were sitting on the chairs.

But these sluggish people seemed to have not heard, and their eyes were lifeless. They had no emotions, as if their souls had been taken away by the devil, leaving only useless bodies.

The doctor took out a slender needle and poked at the boy's eye socket, trying to penetrate into the skull from here...

Horrified screams resounded in the mid-air of the courtyard.

Here is the madhouse!

Just separated by a wall, Zhao Xuerou knew why she appeared in this place.

In the early morning, she and Liu Mengke were walking on the boulevard, discussing about a very effective acacia tree on the fake hill in the suburbs of Lanjing.

A big pine of 50 or 60 years grew on the fake hill, with its branches drooping, and it was built beside the gazebo in the wild. Standing on the circular wooden chair, you can touch the pine needles with your hands.

A couple was playing there, tied a wooden sign under the red belt, and then tied it to a branch. The names of the two were written on the wooden sign, implying that they could be together for a long time, miss each other and be with each other.

Later, more and more couples went there to check in, following the example of their predecessors.

In this way, more and more red ribbons are tied on the branches, and they are full of falling. It is very spectacular from the foot of the hill. This big pine tree has become a moon-old tree. It is said that the couple on the wooden sign can have a happy ending.

Zhao Xuerou still has a heart for Jiang Cheng, she happily talked about her plan, and invited her best friend to go with her. Liu Mengke asked people that two people go together, will it work if you go there wishfully without Jiang Cheng's consent?

Zhao Xuerou curled her lips and said that it doesn't matter, let's hang up first, and Liu Mengke and Liang Gu are in a relationship, so it's okay to ask for a good moral.

Liu Mengke promised to go with her in the afternoon.

Coincidentally! Luo Xiaoli was on the boulevard, not far away. She walked with her classmates and heard their conversation.

A flame surged up in her heart immediately, she squinted her eyes and looked at Zhao Xuerou dangerously, her face was expressionless, but she was already planning how to destroy her beautiful wish.

Don't you want to hang a wooden sign? You hang it up first, and I'll take it off and throw it away for you right away, and then put on my name and Jiang Cheng big brother's name.

Luo Xiaoli snorted coldly in her heart, and silently calculated everything.

In the afternoon, Liu Mengke let go of her girlfriend's pigeons. She and Liang Gu went to other places to play together, and the phone couldn't be reached. Zhao Xuerou waited for half an hour but no one was there. Together, they hailed a taxi and headed to Lanzhou alone. Suburbs of Beijing.

Luo Xiaoli followed closely behind, and took another car to follow.

Unexpectedly, when the two arrived at the fake hill one after the other, Zhao Xuerou made a wooden sign with satisfaction, hung it up, and was about to return to school...

A pickup truck speeds by! Driving deeper from the edge of the mountain road, he almost ran into Zhao Xuerou.

Her heart fluctuated for a while, staring at the car's buttocks, she was about to explode, but in the next second, Zhao Xuerou froze in place.

The back of this Toyota pickup truck was covered with a layer of pure black plastic sheeting, and there was something hidden underneath. The vehicle was walking on a rough mountain road, and a stone made the vehicle bump violently, revealing a corner of the black plastic sheeting.

With a sudden glance, Zhao Xuerou clearly saw a struggling person tied inside...

The man's eyes were wide open, and the moment the light penetrated into the back of the car, he stared fixedly at Zhao Xuerou, with a hint of asking for help in his eyes.
