madman.
What a madman.
Le Zhiqi let go of the old madman's hand in disgust, and pushed him against the wall with a little too much force.
The door to the monitoring room slowly closed, and Dr. Wei Xianjian was protected from the scene, fearing that the old scholar would do something drastic.
But... it was obvious that Le Zhiqi was overthinking it. The old scholar's physical fitness was still at the level of ordinary people. He even coughed up two mouthfuls of blood when he hit the metal wall, but he didn't care at all and continued to say "We" with a wild laugh. It’s mechanical intelligence” or something like that.
"He's crazy."
"Why don't we just deal with this kind of person directly? Why do we still keep him?"
Le Zhiqi muttered and continued: "Although his physical strength is still at the level of ordinary people, the old man makes people feel very bad, even a little bit creepy."
An eccentric and crazy old scholar.
Le Zhiqi could cut it into two pieces with one strike, but she didn't know why he made people feel a little shuddering.
Come back.
Wei Xianjian not only didn't look frightened, but was thinking deeply about something.
"Human... mechanical intelligence..."
Dr. Wei Xianjian also muttered something. Le Zhiqi was startled and quickly poked her: "Hey, hey, hey, are you okay? You're not infected, right?"
Dr. Wei Xianjian woke up from his thoughts, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "How is that possible? I just remembered what great people once said. Some people said that human beings are like extremely accurate machines. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this in itself. "
"Aren't our hearts, spleen, lungs, brain, and a series of other organs just like machine parts?"
"As science develops day by day, people replace the parts of their body that are gradually worn out, just like replacing a hard drive or a memory in a computer. To a certain extent, we are like more intelligent machines."
Le Zhiqi opened her mouth slightly, surprised that Wei Xianjian also said such astonishing words.
She immediately touched Wei Xianjian's forehead with her hand to see if she had a fever and was confused because she hadn't rested for too long: "Are you really okay? Those are all the crazy words of the old man. Don't be affected by it. "
Wei Xianjian frowned, not liking Le Zhiqi's attitude of treating her as a madman, and explained: "Of course I'm not crazy, these are just very simple contents, and the old scholar's words obviously have more mysteries, for example... what did he say? All living things were designed a billion years ago.”
"If we are really a product [designed], then who created the living thing??"
It is often said that the end of science is theology.
The navigator of the Apollo moon landing, the first thing he did when he returned to Earth was to become a priest. No one knows what he saw, and all information is strictly controlled by the government.
Many great scientists in the past began to gradually believe in theology in their later years. Perhaps at the end of the road, people lose hope and want to catch that little bit of light in despair, even if they are superstitious.
This moment.
Many fairy tales came to Le Zhiqi's mind.
For example, Pangu created the world, Nuwa created humans, Adam and Eve and other myths... But she herself is more willing to believe in the theory of biological evolution, and she is more willing to believe that organisms evolve naturally as the fittest survive.
"The [design] I'm talking about doesn't really have a creator."
"You can't explain this concept clearly. All living things must have evolved naturally, and the fittest have survived and reproduced until now. But the old scholar may have thought of something unacceptable in his crazy words."
Wei Xianjian fell into deep thought again, but after thinking for a few seconds, Le Zhiqi slapped her again: "Don't think about it, you still take what that old lunatic said seriously. If you think about it again, you might become a lunatic like him." .”
Wei Xianjian sighed.
A normal person might really not be able to understand what the old scholar said.
But there is often a thin line between madness and genius. Dr. Wei Xianjian believes that the truth that can drive an authoritative expert in biology crazy may actually contain something terrifying.
The two were talking when suddenly the alarm in the base flashed.
Didi didi.
The piercing red alarm kept ringing, and Dr. Wei Xianjian's face suddenly became solemn. He didn't even bother to ask the assistants around him what happened, and walked straight towards the control room.
"Oh no."
"This experimental base is specially built for the intelligent brain."
Wei Xianjian said seriously: "There is something wrong with the brain!!"
Everyone arrived at the control room as quickly as possible, and the staff at this time was in a mess.
"Calm down!!"
Wei Xianjian snorted coldly, and when the staff around him saw the dean coming, they all showed expressions like "You're finally here."
"Dr. Wei Xianjian, come and see."
"From the beginning, the brain has undergone unknown mutations, which we cannot suppress by any means."
Wei Xianjian and Le Zhiqi came to the control table.
Through the huge special bulletproof glass, you can see a tank filled with nutrient solution, but the inside is packed with white and fragile brain tissue, like a can carrying a huge brain.
It's getting bigger! !
The brain is bigger than before.
It originally only occupied one-third of the area of the huge nutrient tank, but now it is almost full of nutrient tanks, frantically absorbing the surrounding energy.
Wei Xianjian immediately picked up the microphone and communicated with the increasingly enlarged brain: "What are you doing? If you continue, we will take measures and may even kill you."
Zhinao didn't reply.
The delicate and soft fluff all over its body continues to extend, growing into tentacles with suction cups. It absorbs all the nutrient solution at a greater rate, and its size becomes larger and larger. In a few minutes, the entire can will be completely destroyed. Stuffed without any gaps.
"Release super neurotoxin, paralyze it and faint."
When Wei Xianjian gave the order, the assistants around him did not dare to neglect and quickly pressed the emergency button.
A large amount of dark purple liquid was immediately released from the huge nutrient can. These were anesthetics specially prepared by Dr. Wei Xianjian. One drop could cause several elephants to faint.
Soon, the infinite growth of the brain became slow.
It no longer squirmed wildly, became relatively quiet, floated in the nutrient tank, and even regained some of its sanity.
"Humanity… "
"It gives me great pleasure to be able to communicate with you."
Zhinao spoke to Wei Xianjian and others through a human microphone, but it was full of exhaustion and mixed with a bit of excitement.
"This month, I understand human beings better."
"But it's a pity that my goal has been achieved. I have collected enough human information. It can be regarded as our equivalent exchange."
"Now, my consciousness will return to the great master, waiting to be eliminated."
Zhinao seemed to be making a final declaration. He changed his usual wise image and said in that cruel voice: "Humans, your essence is devil, and the great master will definitely... destroy you!!"
