"Is there any conflict between the terms bionic man and doctor?" Dr. Jiang smiled and invited Lu Wen to sit in front.
"No... I just didn't expect it. I thought... you should be like Zero, secretly researching immortality technology because of the limitations of the human body."
Lu Wen followed Dr. Jiang to the big screen and found a stool in front of the console to sit down.
The various buttons on the console are of different colors.
Complex, numerous, and dazzling.
Yin Liuyue ignored the conversation between the two and began to operate on the console.
Pictures of the entire Baker City appeared on the big screen one after another.
Citywide surveillance.
No wonder she knew those androids had sneaked in.
"Sorry, I looked at some of your memory data when I shook hands just now. I have to make sure you don't have any malicious intentions." Dr. Jiang said with a smile.
"It's okay, it should be."
Lu Wen also got some pictures from Dr. Jiang.
Those were some video clips of Zero's internship as an assistant at the research institute.
It can be seen that Zero in the video is very young and looks like a sunny and cheerful young man.
At that time, Dr. Jiang looked like he was in his early thirties.
"Over the years, I have been adjusting my appearance to suit my age, occasionally feeling the human body and moving with a vegetative body."
"Vegetative state?"
"Inject liquid metal into the flesh and blood, and then plasticize it into a solid state to create an internal support. You know, many human bones are broken, and metal or ceramics are used to fix them... and then the chip is buried in the brain..." Dr. Jiang Explain the theory and operation to Lu Wen.
"But in this case, it is actually just controlling the mechanical components embedded in the flesh through the instructions given by the chip. It is not much different from the exoskeleton device, just like... a puppet controlled from the inside." Lu Wen wondered.
"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Dr. Jiang said with a smile: "You kid, you have read too many science fiction novels, and you think you can control the human body's actions by stimulating a certain nerve? And you are still in a vegetative state."
"Doctor, what do you mean, there is no way for bionic people to completely become human?" Lu Wen asked.
"At least with my ability, I can't do it."
The exchange with Dr. Jiang reminded Lu Wen of a disease.
in this world.
There is such a group.
They believe that they have chips implanted in their bodies, and that someone is secretly using the chips to control them, monitor and influence their daily lives.
Most of the implanters are governments, and they may also be aliens.
For this reason, some people have scarred themselves, performed surgeries on themselves, and tried to dig out the chips in their bodies, but in the end they got nothing.
Related to this disease is a very special term called brain control.
"Interesting, when you found out that everything you once knew was false and you were really just a pure bionic human, did you ever have the idea of destroying the world?" Dr. Jiang asked with a smile.
"That's not enough. I'm being serious." Lu Wen waved his hands repeatedly.
Although Yin Liuyue didn't seem to care, she kept listening with her ears pricked up.
When she heard that Lu Wen was a pure bionic, she turned her head and looked at him in surprise.
"Are you an android? Wow, you actually keep lying to me, saying you are a modified person!"
"At first, you thought I was a reformer. I just followed your thinking and didn't refute it."
"Doctor, he bullies people."
“…”
Lu Wen continued to talk with Dr. Jiang.
"Yin Long is an absolute genius. Even if it is true, as he said, that he came from another world and was exposed to all kinds of knowledge since childhood, he is still a genius."
Dr. Jiang gave a projection.
On the projection was a photo of him and Yin Long.
Both were still very young at that time, one an android and the other a human.
"I am able to achieve what I have today, largely due to his influence. He has a unique understanding of bionic people, and his sharp thinking is far beyond ordinary people. Speaking of which, in fact, I am just an experiment... "
The birth of Dr. Jiang was an accident.
He has no number.
It is a product of the laboratory.
One of the countless machines used by Bilan employees to conduct experiments when developing a new generation of products.
"Except for the prototype, all other machines were destroyed, but I was lucky. I was taken out of the laboratory by Yin Long, who was still a child at the time, dismantled and studied, and then reassembled..."
"He studied me for several years and finally came up with a theory called evolution."
If left unchecked, machines can evolve themselves.
Their understanding of the world starts from scratch, and then they crazily absorb all kinds of knowledge about the human world, from the Big Bang to the deduction of future technology.
Improve yourself step by step.
Until they surpass their Creator.
"Doctor, so you are more senior than the first-generation product?"
"Haha, androids don't pay attention to seniority, but based on the time of activation, it is indeed the case, but I am not the most perfectly evolved."
"Is A00 the most perfect?"
"It seems that Yin Long told you a lot before he died."
When he was young, Yin Long was far more than just a genius.
The so-called geniuses of his generation only dared to call themselves students in front of him.
Later Yin Long gave Dr. Jiang his freedom.
"At that time, Baker City was still the most prosperous among the nine major cities. Science and technology were developing rapidly in this city, so I came here, as a child from an ordinary family, and started reading and studying. In a very short period of time, I finish education."
“Is Baker City’s current decline due to the hollowing out of underground mineral resources?”
"No."
Dr. Jiang shook his head and said to Lu Wen: "That is just a general statement. In fact, there are still many mineral resources underground, but Baker City at that time was so prosperous that... those self-righteous old guys in Central City I can’t even sit still.”
At that time.
Central City has not yet been divided into heaven and earth.
But power has slowly distorted those in the Supreme Council.
In the years after the war, they had been preaching that Central City was the center of the world and the most prosperous area.
The rise of Baker City slapped them in the face.
"Those guys have never done a single good thing since the war until now. They have always instilled in people the view that the world's technological development has been enough and there is no need for another breakthrough."
"The reason why other cities still recognize the existence of the Supreme Council is because the power controlled by the Supreme Council is really strong, and the other is... the superficial order."
Once this order is out of balance, the world will be broken again.
Baker City at that time showed all mankind what a future city is.
The city even started exploring the universe.
"Later, Central City filed a lawsuit against Baker City, saying that many of the technological products produced by Baker City were substandard and harmful to the human body when used. They reported the matter extensively and increased the pressure of public opinion. At that time, more than half of the media was controlled by Central City."
Dr. Jiang showed Lu Wen several reports from that year.
"People especially believe in the news media, and they randomly give out some sensitive words, such as radiation, cancer, metal pollution, etc."
Gradually, Baker City's products could no longer be sold.
Products bearing the name Baker City Technology were thrown into the trash. Many people believed that the excessive radiation from those technology products would have an impact on themselves.
More and more companies are leaving Baker City.
The urban fabric was severely damaged and began to distort.
The steel industry, the backbone of the city's economy, has also faced its most deadly winter due to accusations of substandard steel quality.
"A long time ago, the relationship between the nine major cities was actually very close. They were almost a whole. Goods circulated between each city. Some cities were good at manufacturing and some produced food. But then the Baker City incident happened."
An extremely prosperous city.
Because they did not control information and public opinion, they were tortured by Central City and became what they are now.
After that, the nine major cities began to slowly close and isolate themselves.
Each city has begun to work to reduce the impact of other cities on itself and eliminate its dependence on other cities.
The golden years of rapid development after the war were gone forever.
"The goal of those guys in the Supreme Council has been achieved. Baker City has declined, and the technological development of the entire world has lagged behind. They have tried their best to suppress technological development. Don't they just want most people to become ignorant?"
That's why so many people want to blow down that floating city.
"Doctor, are you hiding from those people in the Floating City too?"
Lu Wen heard great dissatisfaction with the Floating City from Dr. Jiang's words.
and some other emotions.
"Yes, one time I controlled the activities of a vegetative body and they discovered it. They were surprised that a robot could actually have a flesh and blood body, so they invited me many times and they were very annoying." Dr. Jiang said.
"Is it for eternal life?" Lu Wen asked.
"Yes, I have told them many times that it is impossible for flesh and blood to achieve immortality through machinery. These are basically two different life forms that cannot be completely converted."
People with greater power are more afraid of death.
The Supreme Council was established eighty years ago, after the war.
There are only thirty MPs.
And there is no system such as every two years or every six years.
They control most of the wealth and power in the world.
Even Bilan and Xinhong companies have their presence, and a certain major shareholder may be their descendant, or someone controlled by them.
"Those old guys are basically over a hundred years old. Less than half of them are lying in hospital beds and relying on various drugs to stay alive. In fact, they have enjoyed enough. They should have left this world to motivated young people. "
"Doctor, in eighty years, not one of these thirty people has died?"
"Yes, five people died, and four were replaced, but those four guys are all in their eighties or nineties now."
Dr. Jiang showed Lu Wen a photo.
That is the current twenty-nine members of the Supreme Council.
They have old faces, fair skin, and are dressed in white robes. They look like aloof gods, standing on the edge of the floating city, with the vast earth below them.
"Are you here for No. 0?"
