"Master Brain"... Jiang Baimian has specialized in this aspect and knows what it refers to.
"Master Brain" means the brain of the city, the real brain.
This is an important goal of the old world on the road to smart cities.
The "Urban Intelligence Network Control Center" they saw in the ruins of Swamp 1 before belonged to its prototype.
The full version of the smart city is controlled by the master brain of all the pipeline networks, driverless cars, and non-privately owned intelligent robots. Through complex algorithms, the corresponding resources are allocated and the correct route is planned, so that all the chronic diseases that the city had in the past are eradicated.
At this time, out of the corner of Jiang Baimian's eyes, he saw Shang Jianyao raise his right arm and wipe the corner of his mouth.
"..." She was speechless for a moment.
After a few seconds, she sighed with emotion:
"I didn't expect that before the destruction of the old world, there was already a 'mastermind' put into operation."
In this way, the "mastermind" who has experienced the destruction of the old world has a good chance of recording some very critical situations.
Based on this, Jiang Baimian fully understood why Leiyun, Songlin, Feifei and their "old tune group" wanted to visit Xu Liyan, the lord of Wild Grass City.
"It's nothing important, right? The old world has been destroyed." Xu Liyan couldn't understand Jiang Baimian's feelings.
He went on to say:
"I told them at the time and I didn't know either. Our relationship with 'Machine Heaven' is purely a partnership, they provide all kinds of electronic equipment, robots for different purposes, we sell petroleum products, high-performance batteries and all kinds of nuclear power plants. resource."
The latter are not produced by Weed City, but they are qualified middlemen.
"Then, when you were dealing with the people from 'Mechanical Paradise', did you find any details worth paying attention to?" Jiang Baimian asked after his professional habit broke out.
"They are very businesslike and never accept bribes, because they are all intelligent robots." Xu Liyan shook his head and smiled, "If you are really interested and help me solve this problem, then they will come back to Weed City to do it. During the transaction, I can introduce you to each other. Afterwards, if you want to know anything, just find the right master directly."
Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds, then asked in a serious tone:
"City Lord Xu, is someone trying to assassinate you?"
Xu Liyan raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised:
"Odick told you?"
"I didn't say it." Odyk denied.
"Then how did you know?" Xu Liyan asked in confusion as he looked at Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.
"I guess." Jiang Baimian laughed, "I guessed from what the 'priest' of 'anti-intellectualism' had done. He was wanted in Primordial City because he assassinated an elder of the senate."
Xu Liyan was stunned for a moment, then heaved a breath and said:
"To be honest, when I saw the two of you just now, I was a little disdainful, and thought it was a beautiful vase with no ability.
"I know there's no reason to think like this, but I can't help but think about it.
"Now, I won't underestimate you."
After he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao carefully analyzed:
"A superior person like you must have a very inflated heart. When you see someone who surpasses you in a certain way, you can't help but belittle the other person. The beautiful ones have no brains, and the strong ones are barbarians, so as to maintain a sense of psychological superiority. …”
Xu Liyan raised his hands and folded them in front of him:
"It makes sense.
"You're very good at psychoanalysis."
"I often deal with psychiatrists." Shang Jianyao replied confidently.
If being treated is also called dealing... Fortunately, I didn't get kicked out... Jiang Baimian slandered and decided to put the topic back on track:
"City Lord Xu, what did you mean just now, did I guess right?"
"Yes." Xu Liyan didn't hide it, "About two months ago, I received a message that someone was going to assassinate me. During the period after my father's death, this kind of thing happened a lot, and I got used to it and strengthened it step by step. We set up guards and sent out a large number of intelligence officers, hoping to find out who the mastermind behind the scenes is as soon as possible, and strive to eliminate hidden dangers before they are discovered."
Having said that, he looked at Odick:
"Mr. Odick is a helper I specially invited through the guild. He is very good at investigation and inquiry, and has nicknames such as 'tracker' and 'polygraph'.
"Who knows, the day after he arrived, Liu Dazhuang, my most important intelligence officer in the city, was shot and killed in the street.
"I believe he must have been silenced because he found important clues."
After Jiang Baimian listened quietly, he told everything he could reveal.
This includes that they accepted the entrustment to investigate the disappearance of Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei, and finally found that they were still alive, but they seemed to be under control, and they were suspected to be related to the "priest" who "anti-Intellectualism".
She finally said:
"We have now found the victim who met the 'priest' and she will be coming to release the mission soon."
"Not bad." Xu Liyan praised and said to Odyk, "I hope to track the target as soon as possible."
Whether or not "Father" is the real mastermind behind the scenes, he definitely plays an important role in this matter.
"I'll go get information immediately." Odyk stood up.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao followed and got up and left the chairman's office.
"I'll go see the victim first." Odick said, and without waiting for a response, he walked quickly to the stairs.
Jiang Baimian knew that he had nothing to do with the following tracking, so he walked slowly behind, waiting for a large number of relic hunters to take the initiative to "serve".
Away from the president's office, and when she was about to reach the stairs, she lowered her voice slightly and said:
"When you came up just now, did you understand my question?"
She was referring to subconscious inquiries made with eyes and expressions.
At that time, Shang Jianyao nodded in the affirmative.
Thinking back on it now, Jiang Baimian doubted whether this guy understood what he meant.
Frankly speaking, even if she was herself, she couldn't interpret the specific content from such a simple glance.
Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation:
"Understood.
"At that time, we were walking on the road and we didn't meet anyone. When you suddenly looked at me, it must have something to do with the sensed content.
"And in the room where Xu Liyan was, there were a lot of people.
"This reminds me of the last time we were sitting underneath, and many people passed by overhead, one of whom had both human consciousness and electrical signals from a robot.
"If all you sense are human electrical signals, you will definitely not look at me for confirmation.
"So, the answer is very simple, you are asking if I am all for human consciousness."
Jiang Baimian was stunned for a few seconds, then opened his mouth and said:
"Complicated idea, but I guessed it right..."
She has to admit that in some respects, Shang Jianyao's brain is not stupid at all, and can even be said to be very smart, but he always makes things simple or complicated.
Entering the stairs, Jiang Baimian glanced down and said in a low voice:
"The man in the robe beside Xu Liyan should be an 'eternal person'."
Whether it is a mechanical monk or not is still to be determined.
"I don't know if he recognizes Zen Master Jingfa." Shang Jianyao said suddenly.
"You really miss Zen Master Jingfa." Jiang Baimian joked.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"Master Jingfa was chasing Qiao Chu, and Qiao Chu took our exoskeleton device and ate a lot of canned food, compressed biscuits and energy bars from us..."
"I understand." Jiang Baimian nodded heavily.
While speaking, they walked down the stairs and returned to the hall.
At this time, the blond and blue-eyed vice president Christina happened to come in through the side door with four bodyguards in black.
When she saw Shang Jianyao, her eyes lit up, she took a few steps and said with a smile:
"I'm in room 308 on the third floor today, you can come to me at any time."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Baimian, her eyes slowly swept across her face.
Kristina's smile became more and more obvious, and she said to Shang:
"Is this your companion?"
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, she turned to Jiang Baimian:
"You can come to me with him."
Jiang Baimian gave a perfunctory "um".
When the two passed by, she took a step sideways in preparation, avoiding Kristina's hidden hand that patted her buttocks.
After watching the vice president and her bodyguard enter the stairs, Jiang Baimian snorted:
"Her hobbies are really extensive."
"Maybe she just wants to join people to play cards." Shang Jianyao said thoughtfully.
"Aren't you a human being as the bodyguard around her?" Jiang Baimian scolded with a smile.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"Bodyguards have to do their jobs well."
They walked to the edge of the hall while chatting, found a chair and sat down, waiting for new clues to appear.
It didn't take long for the mission to update and start looking for the sick man in the trench coat.
The sketched portrait was lifelike, not much worse than the photo.
Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian did not move, because there would be a large number of relic hunters moving in their place.
By 10 am, new information appeared:
The sick man in the trench coat has been seen several times near warehouses 1 to 3 East Street.
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao got up immediately, took over the task, and walked to the door.
When approaching the street, Shang Jianyao suddenly stopped and shouted to a passerby:
"Wait a minute!"
The man stopped and looked at this side with a little doubt.
He is a twenty-seven or eight-year-old man, of a gray-earth race, about the same height as Jiang Baimian, wearing black clothes and trousers, with the usual short hair, and his appearance is not bad. exhausted.
In Jiang Baimian's slightly surprised eyes, Shang Jianyao walked up to this person and asked:
"Did you sleep well last night?"
The man raised his eyebrows:
"I haven't slept very well recently, but what does this have to do with you?"
Shang Jianyao said sincerely:
"If you don't sleep well, your state will be very poor, and it is easy to have accidents when completing tasks.
"You'd better get some rest."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to Jiang Baimian, leaving that person in a daze.
Jiang Baimian raised his right hand, pointed to his head, and asked if he was stunned again.
Shang Jianyao nodded lightly, indicating that this is it.
