"Dr. Tang, what's going on? We need an explanation." "When did No. 1 learn this English word?! What else can it do? Can it understand the meaning of this word?!" "Oh my God, this is incredible, I have never seen a monster like this!" "… "
The researchers' voices continued to echo behind Tangning. Everyone had many questions, including Tangning.
System, what is going on? Why is No. 1 communicating with Dr. Tang in English
Oh~ This is of course very smart for No. 1. The system is sincere.
Tang Ning felt that the system really deserved a beating. It was probably because the deeper original system did not allow it to be revealed to others.
Has it always communicated with Dr. Tang in this way before
Number 1's growth rate is amazing. Before today, it couldn't write. The system replied.
Then why did it suddenly start writing today
Of course, it was to please its father.
That is Tang Ning.
"Dr. Tang, we all have a lot of questions in our minds. Could you please explain to us your experience with No. 1?" The researcher, who looked very old, said to Tang Ning. Although he avoided Tang Ning's gaze, he could see the confused look on Tang Ning's face.
Dr. Tang was also confused. Dr. Tang didn’t know what had happened. Dr. Tang also needed a big answer!
Tangning felt like she wanted to cry but had no tears.
System, what am I going to say now?!
Dr. Tang has already prepared what you want to say. The system said calmly: Please open the file in your hand and turn to page 46.
Tangning flipped through the pages like a student flipping through cheat sheets in an exam room. She frantically turned to the page the system indicated. On it, she saw something that looked like a heavenly book. However, the theme of the heavenly book was slightly different from the previous ones. The core gist was probably -
"Monsters can have personalities, too."
Tang Ning was stunned by this idea. A monster with a personality
Tang Ning had only seen four monsters so far, and only had time to see the tail of monster No. 2. His understanding of the monsters in this world was different. Judging from the four monsters he had seen, personality had nothing to do with them.
Even though No. 1 was able to write human language, Tang Ning still believed that he was a complete monster, a monster that could potentially master human language.
Is it possible for such a monster to have a personality
Tang Ning continued to flip through the pages. Time was running out, so Tang Ning only had time to quickly glance at the book. However, even this hasty reading left Tang Ning with a lot of questions, and the sense of absurdity in his heart grew.
System, what is this? Is this the view of a certain school of thought that Dr. Tang studies
No, this is an innovative idea proposed by Dr. Tang alone.
Tangning: “…”
Help! I feel that once this is proposed, it will definitely be strongly opposed by all the researchers! Including Tang Ning who gave the speech.
Even Dr. Tang himself felt it was outrageous at this moment!
Tang Ning asked with a glimmer of hope: "Then I'll go up and talk about it later. Will you refute me?"
certainly.
Tang Ning said painfully: Can we change to a more sociable point of view
Tang Ning was mainly afraid that if he talked about these things, his researchers would want to debate with him on the spot. It would be fine if he just read the script, but if there was a question-and-answer session in the script, Tang Ning would have nothing to say on the stage.
This scene is terrifying to think about.
sure.
Can it be changed?!
Tang Ning was delighted. What else could I say
This is up to you to use your imagination, after all, Dr. Tang originally only prepared these things.
So the system meant that if Tang Ning did not come up with this groundbreaking idea, he would have to use his clever little brain to come up with a report that could fool all the researchers present.
This is much more difficult than random questions, and another very important point is that if Dr. Tang's theory is correct, then spreading Tang Ning's theory should be helpful for the advanced task of saving the world, right
Then I'll just say this.
Resigned to his fate, Tang Ning took the document and walked to the center with heavy steps. Previously, his researchers had stood in this position when introducing monsters to everyone.
Although the researchers did not look at Tangning's face, Tangning could tell from their attitudes as they sat upright with their notebooks ready to take notes that they were looking forward to what was to come.
Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he thought that any random person in the audience could be a doctor. Fortunately, the next lecture did not need to be delivered in English. Otherwise, even if Tang Ning had a complete script, he would not be able to read it word for word.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Tangning slowly spoke, "Our world has been invaded by monsters. Most of our weapons are incapable of harming them. Now the world order is beginning to collapse. If we don't come up with a timely response strategy, extinction and death will eventually await us."
At this point, Tangning paused. It was not because of any concerns about her speaking skills, but because the script was very long. Tangning was like a news anchor who was suddenly given an urgent script. Although she would not be fined for making mistakes or reading unsteadily, she would be suspected by the audience and her image would be ruined.
No matter what copy it is, it is best to act according to the original character setting.
Tangning desperately read the following content, blinking nervously several times. Once again, he was thankful that the researchers would not read his face. "Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that we have long been exhausted in the face of endless monsters. But now I see new hope. A monster that should have been bloodthirsty, cruel and mindless has sent us a signal. The meaning of this signal may be a new way to break the deadlock!"
The following paragraph was improvised by Tangning. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the word "father" on the glass wall.
Also pointed out was the number 1 behind the text. At this moment, the black fog began to slowly surge up, like a child being praised by his parents.
For a moment, Tangning suddenly wondered if No. 1 had written this line of words because of Dr. Tang's instructions. It just so happened that No. 1's action gave Tangning the opportunity to express her thoughts.
Everyone's eyes followed Dr. Tang's hand to the line of words and the deep black.
Against the backdrop of her fair skin, the black fog looked even darker, not even allowing light to shine in.
"The chip failure of No. 3 in this experiment and the abnormal behavior of No. 1 today are enough to prove that the monster test subjects are new creatures different from humans. They have their own complex body structures and brains that we have never imagined. They have even evolved independent personalities. At present, it seems that the personality displayed by No. 1 is similar to that of an animal cub. It has many behaviors of a cub, such as fear, loneliness, and longing for fatherly love."
To be honest, Tangning did not see No. 1's fear, loneliness and desire for fatherly love. He sensed No. 1's desire for love, a desire that was devouring and terrifying.
"Since technological control has failed, in order to prevent disasters from happening again, we should adopt new response strategies as soon as possible. Taming the young animals used to tame monsters is what I think is the new direction for humans to deal with monsters."
Tang Ning read what Dr. Tang wrote, but he had no idea what Dr. Tang was thinking. However, he tried hard to think about what the words would be if the real Dr. Tang said these words today.
"I believe monsters can also have personalities!" The cold voice was sonorous and powerful. The power of the Mermaid Princess card made Tangning's voice full of bewitching power.
But the audience was still in an uproar.
"What?! How can a monster have a personality?!" "Are you kidding, Dr. Tang?" "Oh my god, they only know how to kill!" "Writing a father proves that they have a personality?!" "… "
The voices of disapproval spread out like a tide, buzzing throughout the basement, completely drowning out Tangning's voice. This was actually a good thing, as Tangning wanted to take this precious moment to catch her breath and quickly familiarize herself with the script. Tangning's lines were not very good, and she was afraid that she would suddenly get stuck and speak incoherently.
Just as Tang Ning was about to read what he was going to say a few more times, the entire basement suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of breathing was held.
Tang Ning looked up at the crowd in bewilderment. He saw that the researchers had resumed their sitting postures. They looked up at Tang Ning, or rather, at something behind Tang Ning. There was undisguised fear in their eyes.
Yes, what happened after that
Tangning turned around in confusion and saw a new line of words appearing on the glass wall: "Quiet".
This is written by number 1.
Can also write Chinese, Dr. Tang is teaching bilingually
Wait, Tang Ning suddenly realized something else. The number 1 was written on the inside of the glass wall, but since they were standing outside, they were still seeing the words written on the wall.
That means that number 1 originally wrote these two words in reverse order.
If this is the case, No. 1's ability to write Chinese characters backwards has surpassed Tang Ning's.
Tang Ning burst into tears, realizing that his ability to write in his native language was not even as good as that of a monster who had just started learning a language.
The black mist continued to surge under Tangning's gaze, and it seemed that it wanted to be praised by its father. Strangely, how could she feel that No. 1 wanted a reward? Was it an illusion
Tang Ning had no idea how Dr. Tang and No. 1 got along, so she subconsciously gave an awkward but polite smile to this familiar scene, then quickly turned her head and continued reading the manuscript in her hand.
Tang Ning simply smiled and didn't realize that the moment he smiled at the monster, the black fog that was originally active and surging suddenly solidified, as if it was stunned and did not move for a long time.
With No. 1 helping Tangning maintain discipline, Tangning was able to finish reading the entire manuscript without being interrupted by a researcher. However, after Tangning had finished speaking, the researchers in the audience began to express their opinions.
A researcher stood up and bowed slightly to show his respect for Tangning. He then said, "Dr. Tang, your point of view is very novel, but the examples you just gave cannot prove that monsters have emotions. The fact that the monster wrote these words does not prove that it communicated with us. Maybe your control over the monster is far greater than that of anyone in this field, so you can control it to write these words."
Tang Ningjue was right.
But I didn't control No. 1 to write, so how should I refute it in this case
The more you say, the more mistakes you will make. Tangning said succinctly, "With the chip in control, No. 1 will obey me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the researchers who had been trying to control their emotions suddenly burst into shouts of disbelief: "This is impossible!" "Is this true? How did they do this?!" "Dr. Tang, please don't speak nonsense!"
However, before Tangning could say anything, the researchers quickly fell silent. Looking at this strikingly similar scene, Tangning subconsciously raised his head and saw that the black fog behind the glass wall had become thicker, and an exclamation mark appeared after the word "quiet".
…Yes, No. 1 is really smart and can use symbols.
Under Tang Ning's gaze, the black mist continued to surge at a low frequency as before, as if expecting something, but this time Tang Ning just glanced at No. 1 who had just turned his head.
The black fog still lingered in the glass cage. After Tang Ning came out, for some reason, the researchers on the scene felt a chill spreading from all around, causing many of them to shudder.
"I can give you the controller." Tang Ning pulled out the controller from his pocket. Having briefly flipped through the document before, he half guessed that the researcher would use the controller to establish a mental link with the monster. The controller was made of a very special material. Without the controller, the researcher would not be able to release his mental link, and in theory, would not be able to continue controlling the monster.
When the researchers saw Tangning was about to hand over the controller, they all realized that Tangning was not joking. But how was this possible?! How could a human being control a powerful monster with the help of a chip?!
Shocked, someone actually took the chip from Tangning's hand.
But soon a researcher responded, "Excuse me, we still need to check if you have anything that can control No. 1, Dr. Tang."
The things in Tang Ning's pocket were put into the space ring. This space ring could allow Tang Ning to collect the things that were in his pocket just by his consciousness as long as he had contact with them.
After putting it away, Tangning nodded, "Okay."
A researcher took Tang Ning to an instrument for inspection. At first, Tang Ning was a little worried that the space ring would be detected, but it seemed that the space ring was a prop from a different system and could not be detected by the existing technology in this world.
After the inspection, Tang Ningxin came to No. 1. The thick black fog rolled slightly with Tang Ning's arrival, which inexplicably reminded Tang Ning of a hunting dog actively waiting for its owner's orders. However, the greedy gaze in the black fog made Tang Ning realize that this was not an obedient puppy and would most likely bite its owner once it got out of the cage!
Tangning tried hard to suppress her fear of No. 1. After a moment's thought, she said in a cold voice, "No. 1, write down your current thoughts."
Compared to asking No. 1 to write words like "Dad" or "Quiet" again, this command can better demonstrate that No. 1 has his own consciousness.
Tangning was now a little curious about what No. 1 was thinking. Would it truly reveal its inner thoughts? Would it notice any difference from the previous Dr. Tang
Tang Ning was not the only one who was looking forward to it. The researchers in their seats stretched their necks, stared at the black mist with wide eyes.
Under everyone's gaze, black strokes appeared on the glass surface again.
Stroke by stroke, slowly sketching out a
"︶"
This is a smiley face.
