World of Immortality

"Ding ding ding!"

In the dark UX single cockpit, three prompts sounded, accompanied by the melodious music, the sweet voice of the female customer service reminded: "The 039 vacuum tube train you are taking is about to arrive at the station, please pack your bags and prepare to get off... …”

On the cockpit recliner, Zhang Yunxi, who was resting under a blanket, woke up after hearing the beep, and rubbed his sleepy eyes. The artificial intelligence automatically adjusted the lights in the cabin for him, and pushed out warm water, paper towels and other supplies from the snack box.

Seeing the light, a strong headache hit, Zhang Yunxi rubbed his temples vigorously with both hands to relieve the symptoms.

Intermittent headaches are an old problem of Zhang Yunxi, and he has been suffering from this kind of pain since he was born. But the strange thing was that no matter what hospital he went to and what kind of advanced equipment he used for examination, he still couldn't find any problems with his brain.

Today's medical science level is already very advanced, especially in the field of human brain exploration, it has reached a new height. Consciousness guidance, neuron grafting, memory downloading and other technologies are all very mature. According to common sense, there should be no brain disease that cannot be diagnosed. Even if it can't be cured, the problem should be clear, but Zhang Yunxi's disease has never been diagnosed.

Fortunately, this headache is intermittent. As long as there is no strong sensory stimulation and rest discomfort, it rarely occurs.

Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky.

Since they couldn't find it out, it's useless to worry about it, so Zhang Yunxi has already adapted to this problem. When the pain is too much, he takes a rest, adjusts his breathing, and calms down.

After resting in the cockpit for a while, the headache disappeared a lot. Zhang Yunxi drank a glass of warm water and called softly: "039, give me the backpack, thank you."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang." The artificial intelligence in the cockpit replied, opened the luggage rack, and used the self-operating mechanical arm to lift out the black backpack inside and put it at Zhang Yunxi's feet.

"Thank you, 039."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhang, you are the most handsome customer I have ever received, and it is my honor to serve you."

"Fuck, it's up to you to say."

...

One minute later, the No. 039 vacuum tube train entered the station, and the warning light above the cockpit showed red, reminding passengers that the oxygen in the train tube had not been released, and the departure was postponed.

"Pfft!"

Accompanied by the gas erupting from the pipeline, the exit of the pipeline wall, about one and a half meters away from the cabin door, opened the gate first, and the bright sunlight outside shone in.

The cockpit door opened, and the pedals were ejected automatically. Zhang Yunxi left the car with the luggage.

The concept of vacuum tube trains was proposed as early as the 1920s, and was widely discussed and developed in the early 20th century. However, due to the environment of the transportation market at that time, the poor compatibility of vacuum tube trains and other tools, and the high cost of construction, it could not be popularized, and subsequent research and development have been put on hold.

However, the current scientific level is advancing by leaps and bounds, and various refining technologies and infrastructure technologies have reached more than one level, so the vacuum tube train has also been officially put into use, but it has not been popularized on a large scale. Currently, only Pearl City in Asia has such a train 039 No.

The place Zhang Yunxi came to was called Qingshan Town, about 800 kilometers away from Pearl City. The purpose of his coming here this time was to go through the admission procedures at Qingshan Theological Seminary.

Before his father died, he had mentioned to Zhang Yunxi more than once that he should come to Qingshan Theological Seminary to study, and the father and son had a big fight over this. Because Zhang Yunxi didn't understand it at all, and based on his graduation results, he would become a top student in the world-renowned Pearl University. Why did he come to a seminary with a rating similar to that of a "technical school"?

If you just listen to the name, it is unreliable!

Zhang Yunxi had checked the information of Qingshan Theological Seminary on the Internet before. This college was established about fifteen years ago. It has no educational background at all, and the subjects are also various.

The webpage is even more similar to the late night APP, and it is even shamelessly advertising a certain company.

What's even more outrageous is that the faculty announced by this college can also be called the "floor" of the education industry. The oldest professional tutor was thirty-five years old, and the youngest was only twenty-three years old. To put it bluntly, Zhang Yunxi even suspected that the other party might not be as professional as himself.

This is purely a pheasant school!

But Zhang Yunxi still came because he was too curious.

Before his father died, he asked him to come, and before his execution, Li Yun, the AI ​​nanny, kept calling Zhang Yunxi to Qingshan Theological Seminary.

What kind of magical power does this place have that make people around me mention it one after another? It's hard to grasp the father's motives, but Li Yun behaved too strangely. Her daily job is to take care of the daily life of the Zhang family, and she has nothing to do with the "academic world". Then why did she call Qingshan Theological Seminary over and over again before she died?

Zhang Yunxi really couldn't figure it out, so he hesitated again and again, and still raised his student status, gave up the chance to enter Pearl University, and asked his teacher to write a recommendation letter for him.

He was going to study at Qingshan Theological Seminary to clarify the doubts in his heart.

...

Zhang Yunxi, carrying a black shoulder bag and black super sunglasses, walked through the crowded promenade and came to the hall of Qingshan Station.

In the bright and clean station hall, several huge projection screens are playing a variety show discussion program, and the content happens to be the case of AI Li Yun killing the employer's family.

In fact, the Li Yun case has a great influence, and has even aroused discussions all over the world. Many experts and scholars are also discussing this matter, and the argument is the coexistence of AI and human beings.

When the systematic thinking of AI people gradually evolves into human thinking, does it mean that there are new races in the world? Should everyone accept it and share the world with it, or should they resist it? To put it bluntly, in the process of thinking evolution of AI people, there may be many congenital defects, such as extreme, such as irritability, and such as abnormal thinking. In this way, will the safety of human beings encounter a crisis?

The case of Li Yun is representative. When she was just born and bought by Zhang Yunxi's parents, she didn't have human thinking, only systematic service thinking, but the factory wanted to make her behave more humane, more emotional, and more real , so many personalized programs are written in her program, and it is distributed.

That's why Li Yun had emotions and a certain kind of human consciousness, which led to the tragedy.

Zhang Yunxi glanced at the variety show and saw the three guest scholars arguing and discussing non-stop, feeling extremely irritable.

Because they discussed the details of the tragic death of their parents and sister, this stepping on the horse was like throwing salt on Zhang Yunxi's heart.

Who can stand this?

Zhang Yunxi couldn't help speeding up his pace, ready to leave this place quickly.

...

After passing through the automatic exit gate, Zhang Yunxi came to the waiting place outside the station. While waiting boredly, he happened to see a man in his thirties in the "Virtual Immortal World" peripheral store next to him. The problem quarreled with a young-looking AI waiter.

Since the concept of metaverse was put forward again, after more than ten years of hard work by human beings, Lingjing Group finally launched a cross-age product, a globally networked virtual universe, and its Chinese name is the Immortal World.

As the world of eternal life exploded around the world, peripheral stores like this have become numerous and can be seen everywhere.

In the store, the middle-aged man in his thirties was very sloppy dressed, and his hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, looking very greasy. He held the luggage bag in his left hand, and waved at the young man opposite him with his right hand: "Come here."

"Okay, sir." The young man folded his hands in front of him, bowed his waist and brought his face closer.

"Snapped!"

The greasy man swung his right arm and slapped the young man solidly: "Do you discriminate against me and think that I am poor, so you recommend me second-hand goods? Is it like someone who uses second-hand goods?!"

"Sir, first of all, you played very well, and your arms are also very strong." The young man's cheeks were flushed from the beating, and he moved sideways for two steps, then returned to his position immediately, and moved his face closer: "But I I really didn't discriminate against you."

"Riding horse, you clearly look at me with contempt in your eyes." The greasy man spat out his national essence, and went up to slap him again.

"Sir, you look like a rich man. I don't mean to despise you at all. I just recommend products to you based on your financial strength..."

"You are such a civilized snobbery, I will kill you!" The greasy middle-aged man slapped the other party even more angrily.

"Crack!"

"...!"

These two people, one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer, tossed about in the shop for half a minute.

"Sir, can you beat me later?" The young man's hair was disheveled and his cheeks were swollen like buns: "Can you let me enter the lounge and change a new face? This way you will have a better experience... …”

"Boom!"

The greasy man raising his leg is a record of cutting off his children and grandchildren.

"what!"

The young man fell to the ground in pain.

Seeing this scene from the side, Zhang Yunxi muttered in a broken voice: "Fuck, what a cruel foot."

"Check out!" The greasy middle-aged man shouted into the room when he was tired.

"Sir, you need to pay 1800KB for traffic compensation, and 9950KB for an economical second-hand brain-computer interface chip." A beautiful store manager came out, and she could tell from the job number that she was not AI.

"Why should you pay compensation? He discriminated against me just now!"

"You give it a physical ligation, of course you will lose money." The beautiful clerk smiled and pointed to the pressure relief shop next to him: "If you want to beat someone, we have a special beating AI for you to use, 500KB per minute."

"Damn, bad review!" The greasy man swiped his account with his watch phone, turned around and went out, and made a call: "Honey! I thought it over, you're right, it's mine!" Wrong. Yes, I am going to Qingshan Theological Seminary soon, you forgot, I am going to enroll today..."

Due to the explosion of the world of eternal life, a new round of financial reform has gradually formed. In the virtual world of eternal life, traffic is the only payment currency, so the paper currency and online payment currency in the world are gradually being eliminated. People believe in the flow currency that will be strong for hundreds of years in the future, so the world-renowned company Lingjing Group, together with the world's major banks, has launched a blockchain decentralized currency-flow in real life.

"Squeal!"

A car stopped at the exit, the door popped open automatically, and the artificial intelligence inside called out: "Sir, I am the driver of Qinglan Taxi Company. My name is Fangfang. I am very happy to serve you."

"Qingshan Theological Seminary, turn off the temperature control system, thank you." Zhang Yunxi bent down and got into the car. Looking up, the greasy middle-aged man actually got on the special bus to Qingshan Theological Seminary.

"Sir, let's go now." Fangfang reminded: "You can take a break..."

The driverless car strictly obeyed the traffic rules and slowly left the station.

...

In an office of Qingshan Theological Seminary.

An old man who looked very old, gently put down the file of Zhang Yunxi he had just finished reading, and picked up the file of another man named Zhang Yunzhao next to him, and whispered softly: "...It really makes me curious... Can my body... really hold up until I unravel the truth?"?
