Pregnant husband in 2508

Chapter 34

Lin Qihang said seriously: "Last time at Professor Ji's banquet, you seemed to be very interested in the proposition I raised. I guess, you might be willing to learn more about it."

"Are you talking about the proposition 'impossible to travel'?" You Mian remained calm, "It's really interesting. Professor Lin, I want to ask you a question."

Lin Qihang nodded, "Please tell me."

You Mian glanced at S from the corner of her eye, and S still had that calm appearance.He cleared his throat, "If there is a person who suddenly wakes up one day, he finds that the world he is in is very different from what he remembered. Let me give you an example. Before going to bed, he was still living in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. When I opened my eyes, I found that I was in the 21st century. He had the memories of the past, but his body was completely changed. If what I just said is completely true, besides the saying of 'time travel', do you think there are other Any explanation for that?"

Lin Qihang said: "Before answering this question, You Mian, I would like to ask you another question - what do you think is death for a person? Is it the decay of the body or the dissipation of consciousness? Or both are satisfied at the same time. What do you think?"

You Mian considered and considered, and finally said: "There is no correct answer to this question itself, it still depends on everyone's own thinking."

"Let me put it this way, if you have died long ago, but your brain has been preserved intact by some means. After hundreds of years, a new technology can extract your consciousness and memory, giving other A person who is brain-dead. That way, when you wake up, you have the illusion that you've been replaced—but, in reality, it's someone else who has switched consciousness."

With a sudden heartbeat, You Mian felt that Lin Qihang was breaking away the heavy cover for him, making the truth more and more clearly visible in front of him.

Lin Qihang continued: "If what I said can really come true, are you dead or alive now? You are two completely different people physically and psychologically. If you have the opportunity, you would be willing to let the physical Do you want to return to your original consciousness?"

"If it's changed back, then the original person will be..." You Mian's voice changed slightly.

"Yes," Lin Qihang said solemnly, "That person has no body and no memory, he has completely disappeared."

You Mian was already speechless, he buried his face in the palm of his hand, as if he could escape from the naked reality a little bit, even for a second.He even regretted it, why did he come to find Lin Qihang?Just foolishly believe that he came from time travel, wouldn't there be so many terrible troubles?

Lin Qihang's voice continued to ring in his ears, "If you believe that consciousness means existence, then you can enjoy your current body with complete peace of mind; otherwise, you are like a ghost living in someone else's body, using other people's body To complete one's own consciousness, this kind of behavior can be said to be selfish and despicable."

Warm wetness came from between the fingers, You Mian quickly turned her head away, and quietly wiped the small embarrassment that damaged the man's self-esteem.

Lin Qihang pretended not to see it, and continued: "Of course, what we're talking about is just a hypothesis—a hypothesis about what seems to be a time-traveling phenomenon, but there is actually something hidden behind it. You don't have to pay too much attention to it."

You Mian's throat moved up and down, and she let out a muffled "hmm".

S who had been silent all this time suddenly said: "So, I have another hypothesis."

You Mian looked at S with red eyes, and Lin Qihang also said with interest, "What hypothesis?"

"If that person is an intelligent machine like me, it is also possible that he has been asleep for hundreds of years and suddenly wakes up with a modified body, but he still inherits the data from before he fell asleep."

Lin Qihang smiled, "Indeed, but unlike human beings, the body of an intelligent machine does not have any cells and life after all. It is like a memory card, plugged into another computer, and the computer remains that computer."

You Mian also laughed dryly a few times, and when he finished laughing, he pretended to be calm and said, "Professor Lin, in your assumption just now, do those technologies exist now? As far as I know, there are already technologies that can Delete and modify people's memories at will."

"I've also heard of it," Lin Qihang replied, "but this technology has not been popularized yet, which means that the technology is not yet mature, and if it is used rashly on humans, it may cause many sequelae. The technology I just mentioned, in the It is feasible on a scientific level," he paused, and then continued: "But on an ethical level..."

You Mian interrupted him, "I understand. Professor Lin, besides discussing this topic with you, I have one more thing to do this time. I hope to get your help."

"Please say."

"About 500 years ago, there was a man named 'You Mian' who once studied in the physics department of the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Later, the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics merged with several other prestigious schools to become Snow University, but the student files have always been It has been preserved to this day. I don’t know if you have that permission, can you check that file for me?”

"I really want to help you," Lin Qihang said with a sincere expression, "but those ancient files are sealed in the archive room of No. 1 Library, and if you want to check them, you must have a legitimate reason, and you have to report layer by layer. It can only be viewed after approval. So let me ask, why do you want to find this old file?"

Lin Qihang's eyes were clear and wise, and You Mian felt that he had already seen through his thoughts.He didn't know that what Lin Qihang said to him was really just discussing the issue of time travel with him, and he had other plans.He recalled the file of Lin Qihang that he had seen before—an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications, who was declared brain-dead after a car accident, but miraculously woke up again.After waking up, he seemed to have changed into a different person, instantly becoming the favorite of scientists.If that ordinary boy is indeed brain-dead, and a consciousness belonging to a certain genius is transplanted into the boy's brain...

You Mian suddenly felt shuddering, Lin Qihang in front of him obviously still had a gentle expression, but he felt that Professor Lin was smiling strangely.

If what Lin Qihang said was true, and if they were the same kind of people, what would be Lin Qihang's purpose?

For a while, You Mian's brain was running fast, and he couldn't tell whether Lin Qihang was an enemy or a friend, or he should not easily tell the whole story about himself.

"It's not a big deal." You Mian said, "It's okay if it's inconvenient. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. Excuse me."

Lin Qihang didn't ask further, "You seem to be pregnant." He glanced at the bracelet on You Mian's wrist, half seriously and half jokingly said: "If you're pregnant, you should keep your mind calm and don't think too much. Some things, the more you The more terrifying you think about it, the more you will fall into a strange vicious circle in the end, and you will never be able to get out."

You Mian felt that she could no longer be in the same room with this Professor Lin for even a second, and he fled immediately after saying "goodbye".

Lin Qihang looked at his back and asked S: "Aren't you following?"

S said: "I feel that he needs to think alone now."

Lin Qihang's eyes were complicated, "It's better not to think about this kind of thing -- speaking from experience."

S asked bluntly: "What you said to him just now is true, is this also the way you resurrect?"

"Do you think... I'm resurrected?" Lin Qihang looked at his own face reflected in the experimental equipment—even though he saw it countless times, he still couldn't get used to this face. "When I first woke up, I thought a lot, and my head was about to explode at the end, but I still couldn't give myself a satisfactory answer. So, I stopped thinking about it, since God really gave me such a chance , I will make good use of it. I don’t need to take care of anything else.”

"what chance?"

Lin Qihang turned around and looked at S, saying word by word: "A chance for revenge."

S was silent for a while, then raised his right hand and placed it where the human heart was, and looked directly at Lin Qihang, "I will always serve you, doctor."

Lin Qihang's eyes widened. He remembered the first day when the Omnic Crisis broke out 100 years ago.

That day, he wandered alone in the laboratory for a day.The government military has issued several notices, ordering him to move to a safe place, and immediately start researching the killer weapon that can cause a one-hit kill effect on intelligent machines; and the leader of ASCⅢ created by himself also sent miniature omnics to sneak into the , invited him to eliminate human tyranny/government, and create a brand new empire belonging to highly intelligent humans and AI.

One side is his kind, and the other side is the "child" he has devoted all his life to creating. No matter which side it is, he cannot easily give up.

When he hesitated for a whole day and finally made up his mind, the door was opened unexpectedly. S was standing at the door, with his right hand on his chest, with the same appreciative expression.

"At your service forever, Doctor."

A gust of wind blows, the warm touch, and the curtains being blown by the wind, Lin Qihang is momentarily in a daze.

Seeing Lin Qihang lost his mind, S called him tentatively: "Doctor?"

Lin Qihang grinned, "Thank you, S. Now it's time to take care of You Mian, I think he won't give up easily."

"The doctor means that he will try to get that file?"

Lin Qihang nodded in agreement, "But his abilities are limited, so he will probably ask you for help."

"Then can I help him?"

"S," Lin Qihang put his hands on S's shoulders, "you can do whatever you want. You don't have to be attached to humans a long time ago, and you don't need to be attached to me now."

S said seriously: "I just want to do something for you, doctor."

"You can help him," Lin Qihang said, "I ask you to stay by his side. Apart from keeping an eye on him, I hope you can do something for him."

"Why are you being so nice to him, Doctor?"

Lin Qihang paused, and said: "Some things are always unbearable, especially when you are alone. Therefore, when you find that there is another person who is in the same situation as you, it will always bring some comfort .”

Before S left, he couldn't help but say something he always wanted to say. "Doctor, you look good now, but I like your original look better."
