Datang Mechanical Era

One year after Bai Tianyang made a big fuss at the Mozi Seiko Annual Meeting.

Warm and genial sunshine poured into the room through the glass windows. During the day, Yang Yang's family of three sat around the table and had breakfast.

My daughter Bai Huixin smacked her lips excitedly while eating milk, eggs, bread, and fruits.

His wife Ou Ying spread jam on two slices of bread and handed them to Bai Tianyang.

"What happened in the company these two days?" Ou Ying said. She was wearing a purple professional suit, with a slender figure and slender waist, and light makeup on her oval face.

Bai Tianyang happily took the bread and took a bite: "No big deal, everything is running normally." He was wearing a snow-white pullover, his face was so smooth that there was no stubble, his hair was neatly styled, and his eyes were bright.

"Dad." Bai Huixin said suddenly, "I want to buy a smart cat litter box for Spinach, is that okay?"

"I'll place the order right away and it will be delivered in the afternoon."

"Thank you, dad." Bai Huixin said happily, stuffed the last piece of apple into her mouth, jumped off the dining table, and went to play with the "Spinach" next to her - an 8-month-old British Shorthair cat.

Bai Tianyang looked at Bai Huixin and Ou Ying, with a satisfied smile on his face.

He was going to go to work.

I walked to the door and opened it. It was completely white outside.

No corridors, no roads, no pedestrians, just complete nothingness.

In the sky, there was a pair of huge eyes wearing black-rimmed glasses, staring at him silently.

During the day, Yang could even see the bloodshot eyes in the whites of the other person's eyes very clearly.

Bai Tianyang turned around and said to Ou Ying: "Ying'er, I'm very happy now, are you happy?"

Ou Ying smiled sweetly and said, "I'm so happy. Aren't we always happy when we are together?"

"Do you still miss him?"

"who?"

"Lu Zhihao."

Ou Ying's expression changed and she looked up at Bai Tianyang.

"Answer me." Bai Tianyang said.

Ou Ying didn't speak, just stared at Bai Tianyang.

"answer me."

Ou Ying still didn't speak, just stared at Bai Tianyang.

"answer me."

Ou Ying still didn't speak, just stared at Bai Tianyang.

Bai Tianyang said "answer me" five times in a row, always like this.

Outside the computer screen, the real Bai Tianyang sighed: The program is stuck.

Yes, "Happy Family of Three" is a program written by Bai Yang in real life.

In other words, this is a litter of electronic pets raised by Bai Tianyang.

The "Bai Huixin" who made a big fuss at the Mozi Seiko site was not Bai Huixin herself, but a piece of code compiled by Bai Tianyang for Homo sapiens.

At this time, Bai Tianyang in reality had an unkempt beard and disheveled hair, hunched over his back and coding in front of the computer.

"Spinach" - the British shorthair in the program - slowly walked over, was at his feet, and rubbed his legs.

Bai Tianyang mumbled and stood up to find something to eat for him.

The house is very messy. Ever since Ou Ying left with her daughter 12 years ago, there has been no mistress to clean the house. There are books and materials on programs and mechanical automation everywhere. Thomas Coleman's "Introduction to Algorithms" was torn into pages and posted on the wall as wallpaper.

After rummaging for a while, I finally found the cat food bag, but visually the cat food inside was only enough for "Spinach" to last for 3 days.

Bai Tianyang picked up his mobile phone and wanted to order cat food, but found that the balance in his account could not afford more cat food.

He grunted, filled the cat food bowl, and then continued to sit in front of the computer and code.

After the Mozi Seiko Incident a year ago, Jin Xuehui fulfilled his promise: canceling the layoff plan and abolishing the mandatory C-hit system.

But Bai Tianyang was "optimized" by the company.

He is also the only one.

Moreover, as a recognized "technical leader" in the industry, Bai Baiyang could not find a job after leaving his job.

Because Jin Xuehui used his influence in the industry to publicize Bai Tianyang's deeds everywhere. As a result, no company dares to hire this "monkey who has caused trouble in heaven".

Today, Bai Yang can only make a living by doing part-time jobs for others and doing small projects.

This time, after writing code for an hour, Bai Yang's cell phone suddenly rang.

He jumped up like an electric shock and quickly connected - for fear of missing the interview notice.

"Mr. Tian Yang?" A sweet female voice came from the mobile phone.

"Well, I am."

"Hello, Mr. Bai, I am Wang Qingyue from the Innovation Division of Tianxin Company."

"Well, hello." Bai Tianyang spoke in as calm a tone as possible while hurriedly taking out a pen and paper, intending to write down the interview information.

"Our boss, your wife Sister Ou Ying, is missing. Did you know?"

"Ah?" Bai Tianyang was stunned and looked ahead with wide eyes.

"She hasn't come to work for two months, and the company is in chaos now. If you have news about her, can you please inform us as soon as possible?"

"I... Ou Ying and I have been separated for 12 years..."

"I know, but we really have no choice. Even if there is one ten thousandth chance, we must work hard. Sister Ying is really important to the company. So, once you get news about her, please tell us immediately. Make this call.”

"Ju...what exactly happened? Why did she disappear?"

"She said she was invited to visit Datang Chang'an Theme Park, but she stayed there for two whole months. We contacted the customer service of Datang Chang'an, and they only said that Sister Ying did appear in Datang Chang'an, but she disappeared. They have already Please ask the police to intervene..."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Tianyang was stunned for a moment and immediately dialed his daughter Bai Huixin's number.

I called three times in a row and was hung up all the time.

Bai Tianyang sighed.

At first, Bai Tianyang was obsessed with work and spent almost all day in the company. He was not even with Ou Ying when his daughter was born. After that, he enjoyed the aura of "technical leader" and almost ignored Ou Ying and Bai Huixin.

Finally, after a fierce quarrel, Ou Ying took her daughter away.

It's been 12 years since I left.

By the time Bai Yang realized how important family was to him, Bai Huixin had grown up. She has always been extremely cold towards Bai Baiyang. Every time Bai Baiyang tries to contact her, Bai Huixin either hangs up the phone directly or calls Bai Baiyang: Mr. Bai.

Bai Tianyang had no choice but to call Lao Tang, a high school classmate.

Old Tang happens to be the director of the police station where the Chang'an Theme Park of Tang Dynasty is located.

After dialing the phone, it took more than ten seconds before the other party answered.

"Hello."

"Old Tang?"

"Yeah. Lao Bai, if you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, hurry up. I'm about to explode here."

"What's wrong, you dared to tease even the head teacher back then, how could you be so hard to defeat?"

As soon as Bai Tianyang said these words, there was a loud "pop" on the other end of the phone, followed by a curse word from "Old Tang".

"This Damn Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty... I can't do my job as the director of the police station!"

"Are the villagers making trouble?"

"No, no, no, the villagers are very grateful to Zheng Qianji, the big boss of New Creation Group, UU Reading www.uukanshuｕ.netｔ, and wish they could support him as their ancestor. The ones who make trouble every day are all anti-robot groups. . They feel that robots are taking away human jobs, and Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty uses a large number of the most powerful robots. So these people come to make trouble every day, asking New Creation Group to destroy these robots. How is it possible? How much are these robots worth in total? Tens of billions, New Founding Group is not a fool!"

"'Number 98', right?"

"Yes, that's the bastard 'No. 98', and he's still blocking the outside! The New Creation Group is not a vegetarian, saying that if the police station doesn't care, their robots will really fight with the group of 'No. 98' who came to cause trouble. If a person uses his hands, he can deal with them in seconds."

"Then let them do it. The show is not afraid of being intense!"

"Bullshit! What do you want from me?"

"There is a person named Ou Ying who disappeared in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty recently. Do you know about this?"

"I know. It's very evil. My people have been investigating it for more than a month since it disappeared near the Qujiang Pool in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty."

"Ou Ying is my wife."

"ah?"

"So, can you tell me more about this case?"

"The case is still under investigation. We have discipline here, so I can't say too much. But..."

"but what?"

"I always feel that there is something fishy. Recently, I have received a lot of missing cases related to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. The living people were fine and happily went to the park to play, but they disappeared inexplicably without a trace. ……ah……"

When "Old Tang" said this, there were several more "crash" sounds on the other end of the phone. The call was immediately hung up.

After that, no matter how many calls Bai Baiyang made, "Old Tang" never answered the phone again.
