"How could it be …" Lin Lin's eyes were misty as she stared at the image on the screen. She murmured, "No, this must be a lie, right? Jiang Chen, tell me, dad is lying to me, right … "
Jiang Chen wordlessly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
Even though the cold armor couldn't bring her any warmth, he hoped that it could make her feel a little better.
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Chaoen, who was still smiling, as well as the old father who reappeared in the image – Lin Minjie.
"Fallout Shelter 005 is a chess piece. Lin Lin's staying was not an accident, it was inevitable."
"Don't you think it's strange? Why would a fallout shelter that developed advanced artificial intelligence leave a backup of the ? And so many people know that it's in Fallout Shelter 005. "
"Hehe, it's not for the hope of humanity, it's just to lure some naive survivors in to fill in the needed materials for the experiment."
"If I'm not mistaken, the organization called the Dusk would have sent people into the fallout shelter to provide fresh materials for our experiment. But unfortunately, our plan had a flaw from the beginning. First, it was the so-called 'Harmony Camp' bugs that entered the sanctuary, then it was you. If I'm not mistaken, it was you who destroyed number X 71291. What a stubborn guy, that's the crystallization of tens of thousands of lives. "Lin Minjie shook his head and jokingly cursed.
Jiang Chen quietly listened to Dr. Lin Minjie's narration as he looked at him with a complicated expression.
When he rescued Lin Lin from Fallout Shelter 005, when she learned that her father had left her on the planet, Jiang Chen once said to her, "Perhaps, from another perspective, we left hope for this land."
But now, it seemed that what he said was wrong.
From before the war, everything was just a chess piece on his path to supremacy.
If it weren't for him, who forcefully overturned the chessboard, perhaps he would have succeeded.
Lin Lin's sobbing voice interrupted Jiang Chen's thoughts. She looked at her father with tears in her eyes, but her eyes were filled with determination.
"But … I will still use my knowledge to bring hope to people."
Lin Minjie looked at his daughter in silence for a while, then smiled and said, "Is that so? I'm glad that you have your own dream, my lovely daughter … I also sincerely wish that you can realize your dream. "
After a pause, he looked at Jiang Chen. "Jiang Chen, right? I already understand your unyielding stance towards your identity as a human. I accept your victory, but I will not congratulate you. "
"I don't expect the enemy to congratulate me," Jiang Chen said softly.
"Also, I hope you won't have any prejudice against my daughter because she's a digitalized human."
"Please don't worry."
What should be buried wasn't digitalized humans or artificial intelligence, but dangerous ideologies and ideas. What's more, Lin Lin was fundamentally different from pure digitalized humans. Her brain was still a brain …
Jiang Chen looked down and raised the rifle in his hand.
Lin Lin gently pulled him back.
"Do you want to stop me?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
"Can't you let him go?"
Jiang Chen responded to her with a determined look.
This was the only thing he couldn't be soft-hearted about.
"Then … let me do it. I don't want … I don't want you to be the person who killed my father," Lin Lin said with a sad smile.
Looking at her father's brain, tears the size of beans suddenly fell down. She had never been a strong person.
In the end, facing his crying daughter, Lin Minjie seemed to understand something. The so-called feelings, the algorithm he thought hard to achieve through advanced artificial intelligence, had always been within his reach.
But he couldn't see it.
Because on the road to the highest, he gave up too much.
Looking at his daughter kneeling on the ground in tears, he suddenly felt that this ending wasn't too bad.
"In this server, there is a folder numbered 7381, which stores a 103-page electronic file of a paper on warp drive." Lin Minjie looked straight into Jiang Chen's eyes. "If one day you have to face them, it will be useful. As a dowry prepared for my daughter, I hope you can treat her well because of this gift. "
"Thank you."
Although even without this gift, he would still treat her well.
"Don't thank me. Even if you really have the chance to build a warp drive, your chance of winning will only change from 0% to 1%." Lin Minjie curled his lips.
The communication sound directly sounded in Jiang Chen's communication channel. This last monologue didn't let Lin Lin hear it.
His throat moved slightly, Jiang Chen took a deep breath to stabilize his breathing, and tried to hide the weakness in his heart.
"Why don't you tell her?"
"In the end, I want to try the feeling of being a father." He left a sentence that was full of meaning.
For a moment, Jiang Chen had the urge to end it here. He was never a cold-blooded man, and he was not someone who would be indifferent to cruelty. Since Lin Minjie had lost power, there was no need to kill him. After all, he was Lin Lin's father. Even if it was for … for Lin Lin, let him keep his brain alive …
As if he guessed Jiang Chen's thoughts, Lin Minjie smiled and continued in the communication channel, "It's not good to live as a brain. The reason why I can endure until now is to wait for the day I can abandon this brain. Will you allow that day to come? "
Jiang Chen was silent.
"I haven't taken her to see the scenery. I hope you can take her to see it for me."
Jiang Chen nodded. "I promise."
On the screen, Lin Minjie grinned at Jiang Chen. His pupils suddenly showed a hint of sadness, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
Suddenly, he looked at Lin Chaoen, who had been standing on the side and watching everything with a smile.
"My son, I will give you the last order. No, the last two … "
Lin Chaoen nodded to his father.
"First, turn off the life support device of my brain."
Lin Chaoen buried his head very low.
Lin Lin raised her tear-stained face in horror and looked at her father with a shaky gaze. Her lips trembled, and her voice was hoarse from crying as she weakly said "no."
Lin Minjie looked at his daughter one last time before he slowly closed his eyes.
"Second, end your life."
"Yes, father."
Without any hesitation, Lin Chaoen walked to the side of the computer.
"No —!" Lin Lin screamed.
The crying echoed in the empty fallout shelter. Jiang Chen tried his best not to look at Lin Lin.
Jiang Chen noticed that before he pressed the button, Lin Chaoen's hand hovered over the switch for two seconds.
But in the end, he still pressed it.
The bubbles in the culture tank gradually stopped, and the green culture fluid calmed down.
If the blood and oxygen supply to the brain were completely interrupted, within 60 seconds, the brain cells would stop working. In about four minutes, the brain cells would begin to die. In 6-10 minutes, it would cause irreversible brain damage where a large number of brain cells would die.
Looking at the culture tank, tears continued to drip on the mask of her chemical protective suit.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and silently counted down in his mind.
Lin Chaoen turned around and looked at Jiang Chen thoughtfully.
"It's strange. For a moment, I had the thought of resisting the order."
Jiang Chen said softly, "Congratulations."
"No, you don't need to congratulate me. After all, I didn't receive the order to evolve into advanced artificial intelligence." A smile suddenly appeared on Lin Chaoen's face. "Goodbye."
