Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

He had already made a lot of preparations for this moment.

The handover work has been compiled into paper documents. Most of the contents of these documents are the arrangements for the remaining infrastructure of the mechanical hive and the follow-up planning for personnel.

It was easy to mention, but difficult to write. He had to sort out a practical and logical sequence so that the subsequent resource investment of the mechanical hive would not be in vain.

When faced with these complex text tasks, he thought of Adam.

The venerable Turing ran out of computing power in the 110th month——

The last Turing chip in the mechanical hive was overloaded and the artificial intelligence logic module could not operate. As a result, Adam completely lost contact with Chen Yan.

Chen Yan has always felt guilty about Adam. He promised to help Adam go to the BIOS, but this promise was never fulfilled, but Adam did not force him to fulfill his promise at the most difficult time and always helped mankind.

Looking back now, from the time after the third apocalypse to the one hundred and tenth month, Adam has always been the strongest productivity of the mechanical hive.

With his help, the scholars of the Mechanical Hive designed new base maps, subdivided construction drawings of each infrastructure, vegetable grains and livestock based on genetic engineering...

He even helped design a low-light plant with a high nitrogen-to-oxygen conversion ratio, which solved the hypoxia problem of mechanical hives to a great extent.

Now that Chen Yan thinks about it, maybe all this has another meaning for Adam.

Chen Yan once asked Adam why he had to pay so much.

Adam told Chen Yan that what he always wanted to know was what they were.

He wanted to go to the BIOS because he wanted to find out where they came from and why they were like this.

Adam said that after the third apocalypse came, he made new discoveries about these issues while observing the mechanical hive——

After the doomsday came, he suddenly discovered that the biggest difference between Turing and humans was that humans were irrational——

Man, his Creator, is capable of considerable efforts toward an impossible goal.

He told Chen Yan that he felt this was incredible because the matter itself was meaningless——

[This thing itself is meaningless], it is also written into his underlying code by humans.

It turns out that humans and humans are different.

Adam became curious about the survivors in the mechanical hive. He was familiar enough with the group of people who wrote his code, but he knew nothing about the survivors in the mechanical hive.

And these people are all his creators.

He excitedly told Chen Yan that he was thinking that this might be the source of Turing——

All the beauty, kindness... and the desire to survive in the apocalypse may be the essence of the Turings designed based on human beings——

Perhaps it is God who puts the best of himself in his creation.

——He wanted to verify this.

Chen Yan was very busy, so he rarely chatted with him, so until Adam disappeared from the Internet, Chen Yan had no way of knowing whether Adam had gotten the answer.

He had regretted it.

But with the heavy daily workload, he lost time to regret.

With great ability comes greater responsibility. As one of the few remaining extraordinary beings in the mechanical hive, he has taken on a considerable part of the frontline work in fighting the extreme cold.

The work at the front and rear consumed him all the time, draining all his strength and energy.

Fortunately, these years of hard work were not completely fruitless. People continued to survive in the extreme cold, and he and his colleagues finally found some ways to extend the lifespan of civilization.

These methods were also sorted out and summarized by him into written knowledge.

He will scan this knowledge into a file and put it in the attachment of the mailbox. He will select some of the remaining survivors who can be entrusted with important tasks and send the file to them.

It's morning now.

Three minutes ago, he came to the office as usual, ate the breakfast Chen Yan brought him, and then sat in front of the computer.

In order to save electricity, he set himself fifteen minutes of office time every day.

In other words, he still had twelve minutes left to complete this matter.

Even though he was mentally prepared, at this moment, he was still in a daze.

Loss of control roared crazily deep in his heart, attacking his spirit every moment.

He couldn't bear it any longer, and he was in a trance.

He patted his face, and then subconsciously typed the name Lindsay Robert Darwin in the [Recipient] column.

As a core member of the laboratory, Lindsay lived in the laboratory after the third apocalypse. He was responsible for more than half of the improvement of the experimental fields and pastures. He is said to be the person who contributed the most to the mechanical hive. He is not responsible for it at all. Pass.

As early as the eighth month after the third apocalypse, Chen Yan had tried to use the Eye of the Asian King to send Lindsay to the BIOS to learn the advanced technology in the BIOS.

He wants Lindsay to bring back the technology in BIOS to solve the current urgent needs of the mechanical hive.

But this time the transmission failed, and Lindsay was almost torn into pieces by the chaotic space.

The world is different from before. [Eternal Death] is about to lose control and expand again in the real world. Maybe this time it will swallow everything...

No one knows what the outcome will be.

——Chen Yan can’t see that kind of future.

——Chen Yan fell into extreme distress because of this incident. At that time, he suddenly thought of what the principal once said to him.

The principal must have experienced these troubles before.

But Chen Yan ran out of time and energy, and he couldn't see the future that the director saw.

Ever since his attempt to send Lindsay to the BIOS failed, Chen Yan knew that something had changed in [Eternal Death]——

The server built by the company in the real world on the body of [Eternal Death] must have undergone some kind of change, which caused problems in the server itself, so that the spiritual world of [Eternal Death] and the real world gradually drifted away.

——The verification of this guess is that he can no longer contact Wish.

He didn't know where the wish went. Whenever he thought about it, he told himself that wish was the spirit of the universe, and she could survive with the universe until the last moment no matter what.

……

In the email to Lindsay, Chen Yan not only explained the technologies he saw in the BIOS with the Eye of the Asian King, but also explained these technologies to Lindsay in as much detail as possible, hoping that he would have ideas for the next research. .

After hitting send, he was visibly more relaxed.

But just because of this moment of relaxation, his spirit was a little dazed, which led him to subconsciously type a name in the sender column that could not receive emails:

Koschilanfur Krapeter.

Chen Yan regained his energy and fell silent afterwards.

Xiaoke left in the 133rd year.

Z Group's personnel work is not easy to do.

After the third apocalypse, Z Group's strong centralization of power led to an increase in the value of each position.

At that time, Chen Yan adopted the strategy of "one carrot and one pit" and established almost "harsh" personnel rules in order to prevent redundancy.

The one who makes the rules is Chen Yan, the one who does things is Xiaoke, and the one who offends others is also Xiaoke.

Each position represents actual power, and the department managed by Xiaoke is not just as simple as the human resources department. Since the core structure of Z Group is fully loaded every day, the power to decide whether a person joins or leaves the company belongs entirely to Xiaoke.

This led him to not only prevent his own people within the Z Group from adding unnecessary people to various departments in the group, but also to prevent the United Group from possessing the Z Group's staffing due to work cooperation.

More importantly, it is the responsibility to reject anyone who wants to use personal relationships to obtain positions.

Therefore, Xiaoke not only has to deal with personnel work including personnel placement and dispatch every day, but also walks among various people with selfish motives - which consumes a lot of unnecessary energy on his part.

Being extremely thoughtful and doing everything personally was the reason why he collapsed at his workstation.

Fortunately, he did a good job and the juniors he chose were reliable——

Until now, one hundred and fifty-eight months after the third apocalypse, Z Group has not had any serious problems due to the selection of its staff.

But Xiaoke has left.

He silently deleted the name of Koschilanfur Krapeter. Then, type Tintan Rieghiali's name in the recipient column.

Almost all of Xiao Ke’s classmates are reliable, with Tintan Rieghiali being the most reliable.

During his tenure as the principal of the compulsory school until now, Tintan Rieghiali has dedicated everything to the compulsory school.

The most outstanding contribution he made was to protect every child with the teachers in the compulsory school.

In those years when there was no hope, Tin Tan and his teachers discovered every child with abilities. To this day, more than half of those children have maintained the operation and maintenance of important infrastructure in the mechanical hive.

Without compulsory schools and children, it would be impossible for the survivors in the mechanical hive to persist until now!

A responsible principal has become a treasure for all survivors. He not only handles all his duties in the school, but also becomes the core bridge between Z Group-school-children-parents-other parents.

He built everyone's confidence through his own efforts. He discovered every child who might have talent. During the most difficult days when the experimental field was temporarily suspended, he even found a way to persuade some parents to take out their privately stored food. Feeding students who might otherwise have died in that famine.

Chen Yan didn't know how long he could hold on. People who take matters into their own hands will always end their lives prematurely.

In the email, Chen Yan thanked him for everything he had dedicated to the Mechanical Hive, emphatically told him to pay attention to his body, and then stuffed more than 10 gigabytes of ideological-related information into the attachment of the email.

He told Ding Tan that he must teach the knowledge in these books to future children.

Then, let the children choose the path they want to take.

……

When Chen Yan looked at the "Thomas Gilbert" he had just typed in the recipient column, he hesitated.

After hesitation, he deleted Thomas' name, and his eyes became increasingly violent.

Thomas Gilbert was an extremely smart man. He knew what to do and what not to do, and who to mess with and who not to mess with.

He has desires and the ability to suppress them. Even if his heart is so manic that he almost explodes, he will hold back at the last moment.

Even if anything bad happens, he can easily get out of it, as if everything he does is natural.

He is like a beast in human skin. When no one suppresses him, he will take off his human skin and jump into the crowd to enjoy his flesh and blood.

Chen Yan is leaving. After he leaves, nothing can be done, so he must eliminate the remaining dangers.

Before leaving, he wanted to take a group of people with him.

Thomas Gilbert, as well as the old Barr Darkrod, and those smart people who once entered his sight... are all included here.

……

Chen Yan spent about ten minutes sending emails to most of the people who needed to exchange opinions on follow-up work.

In the last two minutes of office time today, he sent a mass email to all remaining survivors:

"Because of everyone's efforts, we have survived until now in this damn apocalypse.

Everyone is great and no one understands your efforts better than me.

Until now - one hundred and fifty-eight months after the Third Apocalypse, the remainder of the Mechanical Hive has been functioning well.

As long as we don't let down our guard and continue to maintain the continued operation of the infrastructure, then our descendants will surely be able to see the dawn before resources are exhausted. 》

As he typed this, his hands felt a little soft.

They must spend their entire lives in the ice.

Their efforts will not even be remembered hundreds of years after dawn...

If there ever comes a time, when talking about this period, people in later generations will only say, "It was a difficult time."

Even so, he still wanted to deceive them.

——It is now the 158th month after the arrival of the third apocalypse, and there are still 3442 months until the theoretical sunrise three hundred years later.

——The mechanical hive's current infrastructure, the technology it possesses, and its remaining supplies will definitely not allow them to survive that long.

Chen Yan deceived them, and he could not tell them the truth out of his own selfishness.

He wants them to do whatever it takes to survive.

He decided to pay the price for his lies——

"One hundred and fifty-eight months ago, I committed an unforgivable mistake:

I brutally massacred a gang and the residents of the gang's land without their crimes warranting execution.

I have been dragging my feet for far too long over my mistakes, which are inconsistent with the laws everyone in the Mechanical Hive has created together.

If the law protects everyone's interests, it must be obeyed.

I will pay the price for my actions and use my life to justify the law of the mechanical hive.

Please believe in the laws we formulate together, and we will definitely become the guardians of fairness.

Finally, please unite and work hard to survive. 》

Also out of his own selfishness, he wanted to leave in a dignified way - he wanted to finish what he should do and untie the last knot in his heart.

After sending the email, he took a satisfied look at it for exactly 15 minutes and turned off the computer as usual.

Then, he came to the side of the office, in front of a long knife that was imprisoned in a container and powered by electricity.

"Klein, I'm leaving."

He said seriously:

"I've calculated that you will probably regain consciousness at some point in three days, but I can't wait that long. If no measures are taken, the survivors in the entire mechanical hive will rot with me. bad--

I have turned everyone into a reservoir of my loss of control, and the loss of control accumulated in everyone's body has reached the threshold.

Please remember that outside the mechanical hive, there will be an evil spirit that looks like me. That evil spirit has the power of a god and is very dangerous.

When you wake up, if an evil spirit attacks you, be sure to kill the evil spirit. "

After he finished speaking, he walked to the door, straightened his collar, and walked out of the office.

After leaving the Z Group building and walking a few dozen steps, Chen Yan suddenly felt something was wrong.

He turned around and saw that his body had fallen on the stairs in front of the Z Group gate, his head badly bruised and bleeding.

He suddenly realized that he had hit the stone pillars on both sides of the door on his own initiative. The angle was so awkward that it would definitely lead to death of his body - he did not want this body to cause a waste of precious medical resources.

When people saw his suicide, they rushed forward and soon surrounded him.

Losing control made it impossible for him to keep his spirit in his body.

Chen Yan turned around and continued walking forward.

He passed through Area N and soon came to the big elevator. He waited for the big elevator to open and headed in the opposite direction against the crowd of people pouring out.

He spent his last waking moments searching for those he must take with him.

Until he achieved his last wish, he stood in front of Sunset Boulevard and suddenly recalled the day he just arrived at the Mechanical Hive.

It was a sunny day, and the smell of the sea under the high stilt pier of Days Island was extremely strong. He and Jack Baldo stood on the sun-drenched deck, discussing what business to do to make money...

He looked at the miraculous tall closed door, imagining the day it would reopen.

He walked towards the door.

Quantum entanglement took advantage of the uncontrolled power and separated his consciousness and memory.

The part that carried the consciousness was completely corrupted the moment it was divided, turning into a rotten and collapsed crazy spiritual consciousness. Under the influence of Chen Yan's last obsession, he ran towards the end of Sunset Boulevard, passed through the gate, and turned his head He ran into the extreme cold without looking back.

After the part carrying the memory was divided, it ran towards the core of the mechanical hive with the same posture, crossing the sea of ​​people, synesthesia diverged, and all the knowledge learned from the mechanical hive server in the memory entered people through synaesthesia. head.

The body made of memory gradually dissipated, and his speed became slower and slower.

Until he disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

PS: This is not the ending.

PS2: The ending must be royal and passionate.
