Embers Ad Infinitum

Wild Grass City, in a rental house on South Street.

Shang Jian Yao and others joined Genava here.

Jiang Baimian asked casually while walking to the window:

"How is the situation recently?"

As a ruthless intelligence gathering machine, Genova responded with a slightly synthetic voice:

"Affected by the news that there will be a war between the 'First City' and the 'Salvation Army' this year, food prices have risen a lot.

"Wild Grass City is located in the westernmost part of the sphere of influence of the 'First City', and is the farthest from the 'Salvation Army', the panic is not so strong, and it can maintain a relatively normal and stable state.

"This has attracted more relic hunters, making Weed City more prosperous than ever.

"The nobles here hold the land in the form of manors and hoard a lot of food..."

Listening to Genova's well-organized return, Jiang Baimian cast his eyes out of the window.

On the South Street, there are a lot of traffic, many pedestrians, all kinds of shops on the roadside are open, and business seems to be good. .

This is in stark contrast to the depression and desertion that followed the riots.

After Genova finished speaking, Jiang Baimian looked at the houses on the opposite side that were a mix of classical and modern, turned his body slightly, and said to Bai Chen:

"Aunt Nan and the others are on the opposite side of the alley, do you want to take a look?"

The "Old Tune Group" did not live in the "Afford Gun Shop" this time, because the place was chosen by Genova.

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed firstly, "You haven't told Aunt Nan that you are married yet!"

Aunt Nan should be very relieved to know that Xiaobai has a normal family...Long Yuehong was about to move.

He turned his inquiring eyes to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen didn't wear a scarf, and there was no number on his neck. It was removed by Bai Chen when he was genetically modified the year before. It was silent, and no one paid attention to it.

Bai Chen walked to the window, stared silently for a while and said:

"not going.

"We have too many things on our shoulders, so don't implicate Aunt Nan and the others."

"Yes." Long Yuehong nodded immediately.

Shang Jianyao sighed regretfully:

"I also want to see how An Ruxiang taught those people how to read and write..."

You should also want to see how those people are doing now... Jiang Baimian vaguely guessed what Shang Jianyao was thinking.

She chuckled lightly:

"Don't limit yourself so much.

"We came out to carry out the mission normally, we dare not go here, we dare not do that, but it arouses suspicion.

"Well, the disguise can't be forgotten, we still have a lot of bounties on our backs."

As a wanted criminal of the "First City", within the sphere of influence of the "First City", he still can't be so ostentatious.

"Yeah." Shang Jianyao slammed his right fist and left palm and said, "I also want to visit my good brother Xu Liyan at the City Lord's Mansion, and exchange Dharma with Zen Master Jing Nian next to him."

"You mainly want to eat rice, right?" Jiang Baimian joked.

Shang Jianyao admitted frankly:

"You could say the same."

At this moment, Genova, who had been listening for a while, flashed red light in his eyes a few times and said:

"Compared with last year's separation, you seem to have a lot more on your mind.

"There's something wrong with the company?"

As expected of an intelligent robot, its information collection ability and logical analysis ability are strong enough... Jiang Baimian was quite sighed upon hearing this.

Shang Jianyao is not too convinced:

"Why must there be a situation within the company, and it can't be that several of us have a romantic entanglement and are about to split the luggage and go it alone?"

The red light in Genova's eyes flickered violently for a few seconds:

"This is also a possibility, but the probability is only..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian stopped this honest robot from being led by Shang Jian Yao.

She sensed the situation around her and said with consideration:

"That's it, we discovered something soon after we returned to the company..."

She focused on the series of things that "many children and grandchildren" brought out.

While listening, Genova's eyes flashed red, as if performing intense calculations.

"Okay, that's about it." Jiang Baimian looked at Genava, and asked vaguely expectantly, "Lao Ge, what do you think?"

She has always admitted that artificial intelligence is better than the human brain in some ways.

Genova answered truthfully:

"Frankly speaking, I don't think it's too surprising that your big boss is a 'si Ming'.

"Since the turmoil in the 'First City' has involved several Zhi Sui and disputes over the 'New World', other major forces with the same status, whether deep or shallow, should not be able to escape the influence of the Zhi Sui. would be the exception."

"There are exceptions!" Shang Jianyao immediately retorted, "'Mechanical Paradise' is an exception."

Genova just wanted to nod his head and said that this is because everyone's life forms are different. As the "source brain" of strong artificial intelligence, it is impossible to believe in which Zhisui, and when Shang sees Yao, he laughs at himself:

"'Omega' can be the guardian saint of the 'Rite of Life' sect, why can't 'Original Brain' follow who is the old man?"

Genova was down for a while.

Jiang Baimian slowly exhaled:

"Go on, Mr. Ge."

"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong quickly agreed, and Bai Chen nodded.

Gnavar is back to normal:

"And I don't think it's necessarily true that the employees of the 'Siming' who keep the 'Pangu Biology' in captivity treat you as livestock."

"Yes, yes!" Long Yuehong felt that Lao Ge was so radiant for the first time.

"The reason?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Genova replied:

"The situation inside of you is too normal, so normal that there are almost no traces of captivity.

"The information you gave me before shows that the annual mortality rate in the underground building is significantly lower than the average level of human settlements such as Weed City, and it is close to the state of those big cities in the old world.

"It can even be said that compared with the old world before the destruction, the 'Pangu creatures' just had a few more patients with 'heartless disease', but the incidence rate was much lower than most places in the ash...

"Since it is captive, there must be a purpose. Now I can't find out what that purpose is."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"The incidence of various diseases in the company is also normal. Well, the premise is that the data is not falsified."

This was a bonus from her previous search for heart disease deaths.

"Yes, the big boss keeps us in captivity. It can't be food and drink, and we can harvest our souls after we die, right?" Long Yuehong couldn't help but join the discussion.

He still prefers the big boss to protect the "Pangu creatures" out of hobby or price.

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"I've been thinking about it for a long time and have a guess.

"What do you say is the most valuable thing in a company?"

"Underground building?" Long Yuehong replied tentatively.

"So many employees!" Shang Jianyao looked confident.

"A relatively well-preserved human civilization and enough strength?" Bai Chen considered for a few seconds.

"Various technologies related to biology, including but not limited to genetic optimization, genetic modification, biological prosthetics, bionic intelligent armor..." Genova spoke with models and data.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Yes, since it is called 'Pangu creature', the most valuable thing is undoubtedly the creature."

"Maybe Pangu." Shang Jianyao retorted in a low voice.

Jiang Baimian ignored him:

"Combined with the birth of 'Zhuang Sheng', one also needs to look at the body. Those who want to walk on the dust may have to meet such a precondition, and even the body and spirit must be persevering enough.

"In the absence of a perfect body, the big boss may want to build one directly through biotechnology."

That's fine... Long Yuehong can fully accept that the big boss's purpose of keeping his and other employees in captivity is the company's biological research results.

Anyway, this is his company, and the research results theoretically belong to him.

Well, as long as he doesn't turn his face after getting what he wants, it doesn't matter even if he no longer provides blessings.

Slap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded.

Genavar moved his metal neck up and down:

"I originally wanted to say that the only abnormality of 'Pangu Biology' is that it has been almost fifty years since the new calendar, and the situation on the dust has stabilized. Why haven't the main body of the company been moved back to the surface? The latest results of research are not allowed to be obtained by other executives."

"There are still many anomalies, such as not telling us that the ruins of Swamp No. 1 are equal to Dajiang City." Shang Jianyao argued with reason, brooding.

"That may involve a fight between the elders." Genova expressed his opinion.

At this time, Bai Chen pursed his lips and said:

"These are just guesses. If we don't confirm it, we will always be worried, and we don't know when the sword above our head will fall."

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

"Yes, this is something I have been thinking about recently, but I still have no idea.

"The only people who know the real purpose of the big boss are the directors and a few sleeping 'New World' powerhouses. It's impossible to kidnap them directly, right? Let's not talk about the problem of fighting or not, they must be under the big boss's attention. .

"Old Ge, what are your thoughts?"

Gnavar put together all the relevant data, put it into the model, and calculated it quickly.

After a while he said:

"I screened out some information that you guys told me before."

"What information?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

The red light in Genova's eyes flashed twice:

"You have said that 'Pangu' is connected with many subhuman groups and human settlements, and they are allowed to volunteer and participate in certain experiments under the condition of providing blessing and hope of recovery.

"Can we start with these experiments on the surface, look for clues, and speculate on the purpose of the big boss?"

Jiang Baimian was stunned for a moment~www.readwn.com~ showed an expression of memory:

"I remember Mr. Du Heng mentioned that he had encountered the company's project team in the icefield to do experiments on the impact of cold environments on human physique and spirit...

"Just on the way, you can go and have a look."

"How many years has it been?" Shang Jianyao said earnestly, "The experiment must have ended long ago."

Jiang Baimian did not take it seriously:

"I just said that.

"In short, Lao Ge's proposal is very good. It doesn't matter what a force says, what it does is important. From the surface experiments organized by the company, we may indeed find something."

After having the direction, Jiang Baimian breathed out a sigh of relief, and turned to Shang Jianyao and said:

"It's a few days off, except to visit friends, there is nothing else to do. You can try to capture the dream of the person in room '506' during the nap time."
