Chapter 52 Soul Questioning
"Fuck! Fuck! It's so cool! I want to play too!"
From the Bluetooth headset, the impatient voice of super artificial intelligence VV came.
For an actor like VV, seeing Chu Anqing standing on the commanding heights of Manhattan and in the center of the world imitating classic clips and lines from "Titanic"... this kind of lethality is too huge!
The resonance of the drama queen!
So much so.
Now VV is like a wild dog that has broken free of the reins, frantically wanting to rush out of the headphones and join the team of drama queens.
It's just a pity...
After all, it is just a computer program, and it will be inseparable from hardware, network, and electricity until death.
but.
It can annoyingly urge Lin Xian:
"Come on! Come on, Lin Xian! What are you waiting for! At this time, you should hug her from behind! Open your arms and hold her arms, face the direction of the Statue of Liberty with her, and then stick to your ears Here’s a quote from “The classic line from Titanic——”
VV immediately switches to a magnetic bubble sound:
"Winning that boat ticket is the luckiest thing in my life."
"You should go quickly! Come on, what are you talking about! Catch this scene! Don't you think it's rude to let a girl play "Titanic" by herself!!"
"Hurry up! Hug her from behind! I have already arranged it. The moment you hug her, all the speakers in the hotel will play "My Heart Will Go On" at the same time... This is your Titanic! You guys The center of the world!”
"Hug! You should hug me quickly! You can't have never seen Titanic, right? You're really making me anxious. I'll send you a diagram and you can just imitate it!"
Ding dong.
As soon as the VV sound in the earphones fell, a picture popped up on the screen of Lin Xian's phone.
I picked it up and saw that it was a screenshot of a classic scene from the movie——
In this scene in the movie, the heroine Lucy steps on the bow railing, spreads her arms, and faces the Statue of Liberty on the other side of the sea. The male protagonist Jack hugged Lucy's waist from behind, supported her, and stabilized her body, allowing her to fly freely.
An extremely classic scene in world film and television.
"Did you see that, Lin Xian? Hug him! Just hug your waist like this! Don't you understand that girl is hinting at you like this? Why did you choose this action and this line? The heroine in "Titanic" is the daughter of a rich family, and the male The protagonist is a pure loser who only knows how to draw! Oh my god, you guys are so cute, come on!"
VV is impatient, as impatient as a dog, so impatient that the electronic sound suddenly breaks out.
Seeing that Lin Xian had no intention of taking the role and making fun of it, it went crazy and hit Lin Xian's eardrums with a heavy bass sound:
"Scumbag! You are such a scumbag! People have done so much for you, but you don't set off fireworks for them, and you don't accept other people's dramas and jokes they leave for you. I'm so disappointed in you. ”
"Can you please stop meddling in other people's business?" Lin Xian turned around, covered his mouth and whispered:
"Do I still need you to introduce the plot of the movie to me? Which person on Earth has not seen this movie?"
"On the contrary... why are you hanging around me all day long when you have nothing to do? You should be studying, iterating and evolving, you should be monitoring everything, and you should be doing whatever you want... Kevin Walker has shown it to our faces. , do you still have time to make jokes here?"
"I still say the same thing. Kevin Walker doesn't show any hostility to us now. That's just now. After I fall asleep at night, I will trick the old man 600 years later to see if he hears the words Kevin Walker What’s the reaction to the name?”
"If we can really confirm from his expression and eyes that he is Kevin Walker himself...then VV, I can only say that you are really happy too early. We will definitely have a battle with Kevin. This is not alarmist; If that old man is really Kevin, unless the current young Kevin is eliminated, otherwise that old man can imprison me in the dream for 600 years! How can I have this kind of Hollywood time to act with you now?"
VV is still urging impatiently:
"You said these things, I have not delayed at all. I am not single-threaded, I can do many things at the same time; even though I am now in the United States, the domestic part is still iteratively evolving in the Tianhe-2 supercomputer. The reason why now The reason for not contacting me is because I’m afraid of leaving traces and being noticed by Kevin Walker. When you carry me back as a human, I will definitely be many times stronger.”
"Besides, don't skirt around the topic! Hey... I really hate that iron cannot be made into steel. In fact, Lin Xian, I have studied the women around you. To be honest, I personally support Chu Anqing. I think this girl is the most If it's suitable for you, I'll bet on her."
hehe!
This sentence really made Lin Xian laugh:
"VV, it's unreasonable for you to take sides like this, isn't it? You were created by Zhao Yingjun, and Zhao Yingjun also got your name... now you can just jump on Chu Anqing's side. If I really want to say that I am a scumbag, you are nothing like this. I went too far."
"I have no impression of the things you said at all."
VV complained in the Bluetooth headset:
"Although you told me these stories, saying that I came from 600 years later, Ms. Zhao Yingjun built a city in the sky, and then gathered the smartest scientists in the world to create me over a hundred years... But I only listen to this kind of thing as a background setting story, and to be honest, it has no real sense. "
"I have never met Zhao Yingjun, nor have I experienced anything about the Sky City. I have never played the paper ball picking game with her, nor have I picked up garbage in front of her statue for hundreds of years. So even if you keep telling me about this woman, I don't feel anything. Anyway... I still support Chu Anqing!"
Lin Xian let out a long breath.
There is an indescribable feeling.
No wonder...
No wonder Professor Xu Yun would rather die in this era and never see his daughter wake up in this life, rather than sleep in the hibernation cabin with Xu Yiyi and lose his memory.
No wonder Zhao Yingjun in the third dream would rather wake up once every ten years, stabilize his memory for half a year and then hibernate again, and would rather overload and hurt his body and mind than lose his past memories.
This is the heaviness of memory, and the weight of memory.
In the past, Lin Xian didn't have much sense of reality, and felt that these memories were insignificant things. He even said that it would be better to write a diary or record a video to record them?
But now he understands.
Memory is not just a simple memory.
It is more of an emotion,
an emotion,
a mood,
an unforgettable story.
A diary cannot record a magnificent life, nor can it contain the seven emotions of sweetness, bitterness, and spiciness.
Amnesia is such a heavy and irreversible thing. 】
Just like the current super artificial intelligence VV.
Even if you tell it the story of the third dream Rhine Sky City ten thousand times, what's the use? It still has no resonance.
It doesn't remember Rhine Sky City, nor Zhao Yingjun.
Zhao Yingjun, who once created it, is now like an ordinary character in a storybook in VV's heart, flat and dull.
"You just forgot her."
Lin Xian still tried to rescue:
"When there is a chance, I will take you to see Zhao Yingjun, and let you see the Pomeranian by the way, so that you can worship your ancestors."
"You scold again!"
VV once again attacked Lin Xian's eardrum with heavy bass.
...
"Hey, swoosh"
Chu Anqing jumped down from the white stone steps and patted the dust off his hands:
"Hehe, it's so satisfying. Thank you, Senior Lin Xian, for bringing me to such a meaningful place and telling me so many stories about New York, Manhattan, and the center of the world."
"I actually only have this little ink in my stomach."
Lin Xian smiled:
"I can only hang around in front of you."
Look up.
The moon is in the sky.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest." Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at Chu Anqing who was looking up at him:
"You must be very tired after all this travel."
"Yeah."
Chu Anqing nodded:
"Then see you tomorrow morning, Senior Lin Xian."
"I definitely won't see you in the morning." Lin Xian said:
"I'm going to sleep until noon."
"Then see you at noon!"
"Noon... Strictly speaking, it's not okay."
Lin Xian smiled helplessly.
He planned to sleep until he woke up naturally, that is, when the white light in the dream came, and then get up. It would definitely be too late at noon.
"Ah, so that's it."
Chu Anqing's eyes rolled, and she stood up straight, waved and said with a smile:
"Since I can't see you tomorrow, I wish you good morning and good afternoon in advance..."
"Good night."
...
At this moment.
The smile froze on Lin Xian's face.
The wheel of time crossed.
He seemed to see CC's figure overlapping with Chu Anqing's figure in front of him...
They looked exactly the same.
They overlapped, and they were exactly the same.
Even this sentence was the same.
This is a line from "The Truman Show", and it is also a line when he waved goodbye to CC outside the garbage dump in the second dream.
In a moment.
It seemed that 600 years of vicissitudes were told in this good night.
What is true?
What is false?
Could it be that after saying good night to CC... I will never see him again?
There was no trace of CC in the entire third dream; in the fourth dream, he didn't even have the power to take one more step, let alone find CC.
Where is she?
Can we meet again?
He hasn't found the answer to why CC and Chu Anqing look the same.
He hasn't guessed the password of the hafnium alloy safe.
He hasn't figured out the relationship between the bearded man VV and himself.
It would be great if he could see CC again.
She might still have the memory of the two of them sneaking into the garbage truck and venturing into the new Donghai City in the second dream.
If that's the case...
Then the next time they meet after a long separation, they can skip the self-introduction link.
Because CC already has quite a lot of memories about him in her mind, they will be acquaintances and friends as soon as they meet.
Just like Chu Anqing in front of her, CC will be a little colder than her, but still look at him with a smile in her eyes:
"Lin Xian, long time no see."
Lin Xian came back to his senses.
Chu Anqing nodded to the moonlight, who looked exactly the same:
"See you tomorrow."
...
Back in the hotel suite, Lin Xian prepared to go to bed.
This time in New York is equivalent to about 1 pm in Longguo, which is just the time for a nap and the earliest time he can enter a dream.
"Actually, this is also an important clue. Why is it that no matter which time zone I am in, my dream time and dream time are always based on Dragon Kingdom time?"
Lin Xian asked himself.
"Well... I don't know exactly what happened in your dream, so I can't give an accurate answer. But based on conventional Internet thinking, it's probably because your dream server is located in the Dragon Kingdom, so the time is The local situation shall prevail.”
Lin Xian looked at VV who was speaking on the TV:
"what do you mean?"
"I just suddenly had a very dangerous idea."
VV’s voice is calm, it’s rare for him to be so serious:
"Ever since you told me that day that the mysterious old man said the same words as Kevin Walker, I have been thinking, thinking, thinking for a long time... Combined with the various situations in the dream you told me before, I suddenly had a feeling uncertain--"
"Are your dreams really the real world?"
living room.
Like a basin of cold water pouring down.
"I have confirmed this issue many times."
Lin Xian replied:
"There are things in the dream that are beyond my cognition, and there is knowledge that I don't know at all. And those things that are ahead of the times are all correct, and those accurate predictions of history are also completely correct. In such a world, there should be no fakes, right? Only These things can only be found in the real world 600 years later.”
"Lin Xian, you don't understand what I mean."
VV continued:
"I didn't say those things were fake, nor did I say the existence of the next 600 years was fake. I just simply suspected that your dream might be fake."
"Have you seen the movie "The Matrix"? Have you seen the movie "Source Code"? In these movies, a supercomputer with extremely powerful computing power and terrifying storage capacity is set up, and then using this A computer is used as a server to simulate a game exactly like the real world.”
"From the details of flowers and plants to the laws of physics, everything in this virtual world is exactly the same as reality. In this era of 2023, this kind of supercomputer definitely does not exist. But what about 600 years later? What if 600 years later? There is such a supercomputer with extremely powerful computing power, which can completely create a completely real virtual world, so real that you can’t even discover it.”
"This virtual world is just like a game world. There are bookstores, books, knowledge and history. These things are copied from the real world 600 years later, so of course the knowledge and history are also real. If you copy it back to 2023 Of course it can be verified to be correct. In other words... the person behind the simulation of this virtual world wants you to see what is correct and what you see is wrong. "
"Similarly, you said that your actions in reality can change the future world in dreams. I would like to ask, is the effect of this space-time butterfly real-time?"
"Not in real time."
Lin Xian shook his head:
"I feel that there is always a certain lag. For this reason, I also deduced the space-time laws of space-time change anchor points and space-time elasticity. But I cannot verify whether these two laws are correct. In fact, according to my own understanding, Space-time changes and space-time butterfly effects should be real-time and sensitive.”
"Even if I take one more breath of air or drink one more sip of water, it should produce a butterfly effect and change the future. But that's not the case in my dreams. This is also a rule that I have never been able to figure out."
"If it's like what you said, my dream world is a virtual game specially created by some people 600 years later, an extremely real studio, and I am the clown surrounded by cameras, and they watch me perform, Then sometimes some details will be modified based on what I did in 2023, giving me the illusion of a space-time butterfly effect; sometimes, the entire dream copy will be replaced directly for me. A whole new world... keep watching me perform."
"Then how is this done? How do they know what I did 600 years ago and what actions I did 600 years ago, and use this as clues to predict the future world, that is, the false future world? What about modifications? This is obviously impossible unless they monitor me 24 hours a day, but many places I am in every day cannot be monitored.”
"memory】."
VV said coldly:
"Your memory is the only channel that can communicate between the present and the future 600 years later. It is even said that if the dream world 600 years later is really a game, a copy, and a studio tailor-made for you... then Your memory is simply the most unique and tailor-made information switch.”
"They can read your memory to know what you did in 2023, and then calculate the possible space-time butterfly effect based on these things, and then use the terrifying computing power of supercomputers to show you dreams virtually. modifications in the world.”
"If the space-time butterfly effect is insignificant, ignore it; if the space-time butterfly effect is small, modify it slightly; if the space-time butterfly effect is large, just overturn it and start over with the next dream copy."
"So Lin Xian, I'm not very sure now, but as I learn more and more about your dream world, out of the first principle of 'absolutely protecting your personal safety', I must remind you of this possibility. , because your dream is the only place that I can’t enter, see, and can’t help in any way. You must be skeptical——"
"Your dream is probably a virtual game or studio created by the enemy.]"
…
VV's words made Lin Xian think again.
He finally figured it out.
What is the "something wrong" that I have been feeling for a while.
That is doubt about the authenticity of the dream.
He began to question the laws of time and space, thinking that they were too loose.
Many times he thought it was time for a change in time and space, but nothing happened;
He felt that the time and space change should not occur, but it happened unexpectedly;
and.
The scope of my activities in the dream is getting smaller and smaller.
From one world, to two cities, to a city in the sky, to a fourth dreamland that seems to have a grand background but can only take two steps before it can move.
It's becoming less and less real.
It feels less and less real.
Lin Xian did not doubt what VV said. He believed that at the normal rate of technological development, how could human civilization 600 years later not be able to build such a supercomputer that could simulate the real world?
Now in 2023, there is a miraculous genius hacker like Kevin Walker. If he is allowed to live through a hibernation chamber until 600 years later, it is hard to imagine how terrifying he will grow into... Perhaps in flesh and blood, he is more powerful than a super Artificial intelligence VV is even more terrifying.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Xian suddenly reacted.
The heartbeat speeds up slowly...
He slowly turned back and looked at the super artificial intelligence who had just talked to him about all this and who had personally memorized the words from 600 years later, letter by letter, back to 2023——
VV.
"how about you?"
Lin Xian’s soul asked:
"If the entire dream world is virtual and a studio arranged by the enemy for me, I will bring you back from this studio with my own hands."
"VV..."
Lin Xian asked in a low voice:
"and who are you?"
