From ship girl to machine god

But even though they put on such a posture, the two of them still had no idea. After all, if there was really any danger to this little girl who suddenly appeared on the battleship, it would probably not be possible for them as two unarmed pilots. It can be done.

Fortunately, the little girl in front of me was indeed not in danger. She just replied obediently: "My father's name is Tu Hengyu, and he and Uncle Ma Zhao work there! Originally, I was waiting for him in my father's room, but I I missed my dad, so I ran over to find him!”

The little girl's answer was childish and there was nothing suspicious about it, but for Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo, this answer made them even more wary.

Because they knew Tu Hengyu and knew that he did have a daughter named Tu Yaya, but Tu Yaya had died many years ago, even before the helium flash crisis.

The little girl in front of them actually said that she was Tu Hengyu's daughter. Someone who had been dead for many years suddenly appeared. How could this not make them wary?

Just when Liu Peiqiang winked frequently, letting Han Duoduo prepare to take action, the door of the scientific research cabin opened from the inside.

A young researcher walked out of it. He looked a little shabby. He noticed the two pilots and the little girl at the door, and asked curiously: "What are you doing? Where did the little girl come from?" Is there anyone with family members on board?"

"Hello, comrade, she said her name is Tu Yaya, she is the daughter of researcher Tu Hengyu. Can you call Tu Hengyu out? It's not appropriate for this little girl to stay at this door." Liu Peiqiang hurriedly said to the researcher and asked him to call someone quickly.

This researcher also knows the importance of things. He just didn't react just now, but now he reacted when Liu Peiqiang said this. The people on the boat were all members of the investigation team, and there were no children. This little girl suddenly appeared and said... Tu Hengyu's daughter, it's okay to be called a ghost.

However, he remained calm and quickly turned back to the scientific research cabin. After a while, he called Tu Hengyu out.

As soon as Tu Hengyu saw his daughter, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly came to the little girl, hugged her and asked, "Yaya, why did you come here? Didn't I tell you to stay in the room? Can't you run around? This ship is so big, what if you get lost?"

"Yaya misses daddy. There is nothing in the room, no homework, no books, and no toys... I am scared to be alone. I miss daddy!" The little girl said and started to cry. It was obvious that It was a difficult experience for her to have such an old child stay alone in her room without being able to go out.

Tu Hengyu suddenly felt distressed, but he still held back his emotions and said to Tu Yaya: "Yaya, darling, this is where dad works. You can't run around. Didn't we agree? Yaya wait. Wait for dad to come back in the room. After dad is done with work, he will take Yaya to play. Yaya, be good and stop crying!"

Han Duoduo looked at Tu Hengyu and his daughter with doubts in her heart, but it was not easy for her to force herself into the situation in front of her, so she winked at Liu Peiqiang and took the candy from him. , Yaya said to this picture: "Kid, please stop crying, okay? Sister, there is candy here, do you want to eat it?"

After Tu Hengyu and Tu Yaya both looked over, she said to Tu Hengyu: "Tu Hengyu, why don't you give Yaya to me, and I'll take her to the cafeteria to have something to eat. She's so small. It’s not a problem for you to leave the child alone. It just so happens that I have nothing to do today and can help you take care of the child.”

With that said, he teased Tu Yaya with candy, trying to separate Tu Yaya and Tu Hengyu.

However, Tu Hengyu always protected his daughter and did not let her take the candy from Han Duoduo's hand.

Liu Peiqiang on the side saw something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked Tu Hengyu: "Tu Hengyu, when did Yaya get on the ship? Why didn't we pay attention before? And didn't I hear you say before, Yaya?" Have you been in a car accident?"

When Tu Hengyu heard Liu Peiqiang's question, his eyes suddenly changed. He realized that Tu Yaya's appearance was too abnormal and was arousing suspicion.

So he hurriedly said to his daughter: "Yaya, can you go play with your sister first? Dad wants to tell your uncle something and I will go find you later."

"Okay, dad, please come here quickly!" The little girl seemed to be very coaxing. After Tu Hengyu said this, he looked at Han Duoduo, showing a bit of expectation, but also a bit... Scared.

Chapter 25 Digital Life and Soul

After Tu Yaya was taken away by Han Duoduo, Tu Hengyu smiled bitterly at Liu Peiqiang and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, my daughter and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know how to get along with her. You are causing trouble."

Hearing what Tu Hengyu said, the researcher on the side asked in confusion: "Tu Tu, what's going on? Didn't we bring our family members on board? Your daughter..."

The researcher's meaning was very simple, just to ask Tu Hengyu how he brought his daughter on board.

However, Tu Hengyu only took off the digital life card from his neck and handed it to the researcher and Liu Peiqiang to see.

What was written on it was Tu Yaya's name.

Liu Peiqiang had seen this before. He reacted quickly and asked Tu Hengyu in surprise: "Did you export your daughter's digital personality, graphic artist?"

For Liu Peiqiang, it is really difficult to find an accurate adjective to describe it. He can only use the closest words he can think of.

The researcher on the side opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He was already shocked.

Of course he knew what digital personality was and what the digital life card was used for. Tu Hengyu and Ma Zhao had been studying this since they boarded the ship.

Everyone is staying in the scientific research cabin, looking up without looking down. They may not know what the other person is researching specifically, but they still know the general research direction.

However, the more this happened, the more surprised the researcher was, because he knew clearly that the coalition government had already banned the research on digital life through legislation, and even Ma Zhao and his research institute had been shut down.

Jade Bird allowed them to board the ship to continue research in this area. It can also be said that the coalition government opened a back door.

But is this coming to fruition now?And downloaded digital life into people?

Fortunately, things are not really that scary. Tu Hengyu quickly explained: "I borrowed the quantum computer on the ship to improve Yaya's digital personality algorithm, giving her self-awareness a complete personality. Originally, I thought this was It was enough, but when I saw Tianji 0017 that day, I had another idea, so I asked Chief Engineer Qing, and she helped me build a prosthetic body, which is what Yaya is using now. I put Yaya Uploaded into this prosthetic body.”

"So Yaya came back to life, right?" Liu Peiqiang was shocked. He really couldn't imagine what kind of feat this was.

The Digital Life Sect was very popular in the early years. Even today, the Digital Life Sect still has quite a number of supporters on the earth. However, the occurrence of several terrorist attacks and the imperfection of technology have made it impossible for them to do so. Most people stay away from digital life, and the coalition government has legislated to prohibit continued related research.

But when digital life became popular, even Liu Peiqiang imagined how cool it would be if he could be digitally immortal.

However, now when someone really comes back to life through the form of digital life, in addition to shock, what he feels is an emotion called fear.

"Can people really be resurrected so easily?" Liu Peiqiang didn't even realize that he had said what he was thinking.

Tu Hengyu and the researcher on the side naturally heard what he said. The researcher was also very curious about this and looked at Tu Hengyu, waiting for his answer.

"It's not that easy!" A look of emotion appeared on Tu Hengyu's face. He was the most qualified to answer this question: "First of all, it is necessary to record brain waves, memory and other information while a person is alive. Record it as a digital life backup.

Then a computing device with sufficient computing power is needed to continuously iterate the digital life until it becomes a complete digital life with self-awareness.

Finally, you need a body that can carry digital life. The entire process is completed only after the digital life is uploaded. "

Speaking of this, Tu Hengyu recalled the efforts he had made to resurrect his daughter. He couldn't help but recall the past and sighed: "This journey has not been easy. If it hadn't been for the help of Chief Engineer Qing, I simply don’t have the ability to accomplish all of this!”

"But... is it your daughter who has been resurrected like this? In other words, is the current Yaya a digital life that has developed self-awareness and possesses Yaya's memory and thinking model, or is the original Yaya resurrected in the form of a digital life? What?" The researcher on the side also understood the relevant concepts, and asked a very philosophical question that also tortured the soul.

Tu Hengyu certainly has a definite answer to this question. He already knew the answer when Tu Yaya's digital life backup developed self-awareness.

But before he could speak, the door of the scientific research cabin opened next to him again, and this time it was Blue Bird who walked out.

She heard the researcher's question and replied before Tu Hengyu spoke: "If you are asking about consciousness or, in a more understandable way, soul, it is not the same soul."

"Isn't it the same soul?" If we talk about consciousness, Liu Peiqiang may not be able to understand it easily, but when it comes to soul, he has some understanding.

This made him look at Tu Hengyu with sympathy and felt sad for him.

"This is how the consciousness uploading of the Digital Life School is like this. Their technology is not mature. They can only copy the brain wave activities and memories of the human brain to electronic devices. They do not really transfer your consciousness from the brain to the computer. Among them." Qingniao explained to Liu Peiqiang, as if he was just saying it casually: "In short, the Digital Life Sect can only copy memories, but cannot transfer souls, so those who think they are dead in the real world can go Those who live a happy life in the digital world are just like the religious believers in ancient times who believed that people will go to heaven after death. It is just a beautiful fantasy."

Qingniao's words immediately made Liu Peiqiang feel speechless. Even the researcher who had many questions on the side didn't know what to say.

However, Tu Hengyu noticed an important point in Qingniao's words. He asked Qingniao excitedly: "Chief Engineer Qing, what you just said is that the technology of the Digital Life School is immature. Does that mean that there is mature technology?" exist?"

Hearing Tu Hengyu ask this, Liu Peiqiang and the researcher on the side suddenly widened their eyes. They had not thought of this, but at this moment, they were all intrigued.

Chapter 26 It’s too early

"Consciousness uploading technology does exist, but I don't recommend you to understand it in depth. It is too early for the current earth and mankind." Qingniao glanced at the three people in front of him and refused expressionlessly. They want to gain a deeper understanding of the technology's requirements.

Faced with Jade Bird's rejection, Liu Peiqiang didn't care. After all, he was just a pilot. He was just curious about these things and had no other ideas.

But for Tu Hengyu, who has been studying digital life for half his life, real consciousness uploading technology is the biggest temptation for him.

He couldn't help but ask Qingniao: "Chief Engineer Qing, how does consciousness uploading technology work? How can it upload human consciousness to the Internet? Does it need to connect the human brain and digital devices? Or …”

"Enough, I said, this is too early for humans, you should not explore how to implement this technology." Qingniao interrupted Tu Hengyu's inquiry and rejected his inquiry.

But Tu Hengyu didn't give up, his eyes showed unwillingness, pity, and strong regret.

For him, studying digital life and true consciousness uploading is his obsession second only to resurrecting his daughter.

After all, he is also a serious scientific researcher, and it is not unusual for him to be obsessed with the scientific research projects he studies.

But obviously, he also understands what consciousness uploading technology means to the current earth, and at the same time, if this technology really appears on the earth, what kind of turmoil and consequences it will cause.

So he finally shook his head and said to Qingniao: "You are right, Chief Engineer Qing. I was presumptuous, sorry!"

Tu Hengyu's apology did not change Qingniao's expression. She just looked at the researcher on the side and said to him and Tu Hengyu: "I hope you two will not leak this matter or tell anyone." Man what we are talking about today, this is not a good thing for humanity, it is opening Pandora's box."

"I understand. Please rest assured that I am very strict with my words and will not talk nonsense." The young researcher hurriedly reassured.

But he still remembered the notice they received when they boarded the ship. What Jade Bird said at that time was that if you did any indecent behavior or smoked on the ship, you would be ejected from the airlock. He didn't want to be the first innocent person. 'Pioneers' of protected access to space.

Jade Bird nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Liu Peiqiang and said to him: "What about you? Are you interested in this technology?"

"I'm interested, but I don't understand what this is. Since it's not good for mankind, I don't want to understand it." Liu Peiqiang was the most open-minded among the three people, and didn't seem to be interested in this matter at all.

Qingniao looked at him seriously and didn't say much. He just asked why he appeared here: "I remember you were on combat readiness duty today, right? Why did you come to the research cabin?"

"I just received an alarm that there was a fire in the scientific research cabin. The master asked me to come over and see what happened and see if there is anything I need help with." Liu Peiqiang explained to Qingniao the reason for his appearance here, and also He asked curiously: "Chief Engineer Qing, what happened in the scientific research cabin? Isn't it just like in science fiction movies? Is there any danger?"

"You are thinking too much. We are only on the superficial level of subspace now and have not penetrated deep into it. In this state, the impact on us is minimal, and no accidents or dangers will occur." Qingniao solemnly explained to Liu Peiqiang. At the same time, he also popularized knowledge about subspace jumps and navigation to him.

This made Liu Peiqiang feel a little overwhelmed. After all, except for professional researchers, no one else could understand such professional scientific terms and nouns.

Not to mention Liu Peiqiang, even the researchers and Tu Hengyu beside him felt that their heads had grown bigger, and they had no idea what the blue bird was talking about.

But all three of them knew that even such a simple explanation would be of great significance for humans to understand subspace and achieve subspace transitions. Especially the researcher and Tu Hengyu, the two of them have professional qualities as scientific researchers. They were asked to memorize the explanation by rote and write down the explanation. After preparation, they would hand it over to the scientific research team specializing in the study of jump engines for careful analysis and study.

After saying this, Qingniao also told Liu Peiqiang the reason why the alarm sounded just now. A detector overloaded the equipment in the subspace environment and caught fire. It ignited some paper documents, which triggered the fire alarm.

"Did it turn out that the instrument was overloaded?" Liu Peiqiang felt relieved after seeing the researchers and Tu Hengyu on the side nodding that this was indeed the case.

"Worrying about the safety of this ship is a good thing and deserves praise." Qingniao affirmed Liu Peiqiang's attitude, but also criticized him: "But science itself is rigorous. Don't add entities unless necessary. Please don't believe those science fiction movies. something imagined in.

There are no dog-headed demons in the subspace, there are no purple succubi coming to ask you to drive an implant, and there are no blue googly heads coming to eat your rice. "

Qingniao joked and said some scary words, patted Liu Peiqiang on the shoulder and said: "Go to the restaurant to drink a glass of milk, then go back to the cabin and have a good sleep, or think about how you should propose to Han Duoduo. Well, your last confession was really bad."

"Chief Engineer Qing, please spare me! I'm really inexperienced in this matter, I can't do it!" Liu Peiqiang hurriedly begged for mercy. His last confession to Han Duoduo had already exhausted all the courage in his life, and he wanted him to propose again. , he really doesn’t have the courage anymore.

However, Tu Hengyu on the side said: "I have experience in this kind of thing. I will help you give advice later and design a proposal plan to ensure that your special someone feels romantic."

Perhaps because his daughter was back, Tu Hengyu was also very cheerful at the moment and joked to Liu Peiqiang.

"Spare me! I will only give flowers in my life. I really can't think of anything romantic!" Liu Peiqiang hurriedly begged for mercy, begging for mercy with a wry smile on his face.

Qingniao looked at the scene in front of him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned around and left without saying anything else.

Liu Peiqiang also ran away amidst Tu Hengyu's jokes, but instead of going with Jade Bird, he turned back to the restaurant, planning to find Han Duoduo first.

Although he didn't have the courage to confess his love for marriage, he not only had the courage to stay close to Han Duoduo and find ways to please her, but he was also very courageous.

Chapter 27 Proposal Ring

The first subspace jump of the spacecraft went very smoothly. After a day of "floating" in the subspace, the spacecraft left the subspace at the edge of the solar system.

"Inform the whole ship that this is our last voyage out of the solar system. Once we leave the solar system, we will no longer be able to communicate with the earth. The next time you can communicate with the earth will be when we return to the solar system three years later. At that time." Qingniao stood on the bridge, watching the commanding officer pick up the microphone next to the captain's seat and broadcast to the whole ship: "Now you can line up and go to the communication room to record the last parting words for your family. This information will be passed on to your family by the Coalition Government.

Now seize the time to say your final goodbyes to your family and the earth!We will then embark on a three-year journey to the Proxima Centauri galaxy 4.2 light-years away from the solar system to complete this reconnaissance and exploration mission.

This is the bridge, the broadcast is over. "

The commanding officer ended the broadcast, then looked at Qingniao and asked her: "Why don't Chief Engineer Qing record a farewell video to our family on Earth? This is our last chance to communicate with Earth."

Qingniao glanced at him and was really speechless towards this commanding officer.
