Artificial intelligence, a myth in the computer industry, a dream pursued by scientists from all over the world today.

Memory copying, science fiction concepts presented in movies such as "The Sixth Day", "The Matrix".

Do robots have life? Topics discussed in many movies...

But what Ye Feng wants to figure out is another thing.

"What is human consciousness?"

Or,

"What kind of form does human consciousness exist?"

To put it bluntly, Ye Feng has been tinkering with one thing these days - trying to create a "life body" with independent consciousness.

As early as when he created the art of substitutes, Ye Feng had considered how to make the substitutes have an independent consciousness. He tried to instill his thoughts into the substitutes' brain, but the substitutes never formed a self-consciousness and were still like a dead person.

In Sendai, Japan, Ye Feng temporarily created a war beast, and the war beast also had no sense of autonomy. However, Ye Feng noticed a detail - giving the war beast a beast's brain, it had the instinct of a beast.

Ye Feng kept wondering: If he created a substitute that was exactly the same as the human brain, would the brain of this substitute have the ability to learn humans?

Ye Feng has been trying this assumption these days.

He secretly controlled the plants and built a culture package underground in the park one kilometer away, creating an unprecedented high-simulation stand-alone.

Ye Feng did not create a substitute according to his own appearance, but instead made that substitute with reference to the body structure of a guard outside the door. Because Ye Feng's mental power could not effectively see his brain structure, he had to choose someone without any resistance.

The guards are used as reference.

However, as soon as the manufacturing started, Ye Feng suddenly stopped—

"No. Why don't I make it like a child? This will not arouse others' suspicion."

So Ye Feng looked for a six-year-old boy as a reference. He slightly changed the following content and remade a substitute.

This time, it was so accurate that every cell was exactly the same, even the length and size of the cell were exactly the same.

The cells that make up the substitute are no longer plant cells, but Ye Feng's ontology cells. Each cell has a complete set of genes. To be precise, this substitute is Ye Feng's "clone".

Ye Feng's cells, which fused two "unknown bacteria", were extremely active. They greedily absorbed nutrients in the plant tissue fluid, constantly splitting, proliferating, and differentiating, and finally forming a complete human form.

With the "carrier", Ye Feng tried to stimulate this body and see how to make him feel independent.

"By the way, I can simulate the situation of a baby in the uterus!"

When Ye Feng thought of this, he secretly sent a tablet to the location of the training package and played various carefully selected video clips of family life to the clone.

A few days later, the clone reacted. Responding to the stimulation of the sound, a faint mental power appeared in the brain.

"There is a chance. What should I do next? Well, I have to find him a 'parent'..." Ye Feng's mental power swept through the nearby houses for more than ten kilometers and found a suitable candidate. "Well, I have it.

, It's her, so I choose this one."

The surface of the culture pack wrapped in the clone changed a little, and six spider-like legs stretched out and emerged from the soil. Taking advantage of the cover of the night, they crawled for thousands of meters and fell into a dilapidated courtyard.

“Wow~Wow~”

The baby's cry broke the calm of the night.

......

Lao Yu is a famous honest man in the village.

The son took his wife to work outside, leaving only his wife and his eight-year-old granddaughter to depend on each other.

In the middle of the night that day, something strange happened to his house. Someone lost a child at the door, and woke up all the villagers in the middle of the night.

Later, the villagers learned why the child was lost: the child looked four or five years old and could not even speak. He was an idiot, no wonder he was abandoned.

Someone suggested calling the police, so Lao Yu called the police. But someone had to take care of the kid before he found his parents? It was impossible to live in the police station with a group of big men. So the kind-hearted Lao Yu volunteered to take in the kid. It happened to be at home.

There are few people, so add some fun.

Lao Yu gave the baby a name: Bai Bai. The eight-year-old granddaughter prefers to call him "Xiaobai".

The reason is that this baby's skin is so good, white and tender, just like a baby who is less than a year old.

Bai Bai looked four or five years old, but his behavior was like a newborn baby. He couldn't speak, urinated and defecated everywhere, and stuffed everything he caught when he was hungry... Old Yu and his couple experienced it again

A handful of shit and urine pulls a child's life, both hard and happy.

"It's a waste, it's time to eat." The eight-year-old granddaughter is responsible for watching the children when the two are not around or are busy with housework. The little girl takes care of people for the first time. She is both fresh and interesting. She just teases the child when she has nothing to do.

At the beginning, he was dumb and stupid, and his behavior was similar to that of ordinary mentally retarded children.

But gradually, Lao Yu's family discovered that he was not that true: this kid is smart here.

Not long after, a pair of dazed eyes had aura. They could understand people's words and knew to go to the bathroom. They could laugh, curious, frown, and be able to babble and make some simple syllables and at home.

People communicate.

As a left-behind child, Yu Meimei taught Baibai to speak every day after school. Baibai is very smart and learned to speak in less than a week, which surprised the old Yu and his wife.

The police came here twice, but they never found their parents. After registering the information of the child, the child temporarily lived in Lao Yu's house. After all, it is a difficult problem to send such a child to an orphanage - this

Lao Yu stopped doing it. It was okay to go to the orphanage. The child suffered so much. Looking at the chubby and white little boy, Lao Yu was so happy. He and his wife always wanted a grandson.

I thought that this might have been given to him by God, so I firmly left the child.

To be honest, Lao Yu expects his child’s parents not to appear, but sometimes he feels that his thoughts are not kind. Alas, it’s really a tangled relationship. (But I don’t know that the child’s ‘parents’ have been secretly paying attention to him)

"Xiaobai, let's go, my sister will take you to catch fish today." Yu Meimei came back from school happily.

"Sister, what is fish catching?" Bai Bai asked silly.

"It's the fragrant and crispy thing you ate last night. We went to the stream to catch the fish and make it delicious."

“What is a stream?”

"Oh, you will know then. Xiaobai, why are you always stupid and like to ask around?" Meimei smiled and rubbed the little boy's chubby and soft face with her hands, thinking to her brother's

The face is so fun.

"Haha." Bai Bai saw his sister laughing, and he also smiled foolishly. The little boy was not clear about his origin and always thought that he was a member of this family.

At the beginning, Bai Bai could not walk, but could only climb. After a few days of visiting Lao Yu's house, he learned to walk and would run away in a week. At this time, Meimei liked to take him outside the village to play, catch fish, catch clouds, and roast sweet potatoes.

, digging peanuts, picking wild flowers......and so on, it's like running around with your faithful little follower.

When we arrived by the stream, Meimei held a long fishing net and reached under the aquatic plants to catch fish again and again, nagging some small fish and shrimps. Meimei was not satisfied with this harvest and went down the stream to the downstream.

Beside a small pond, Meimei saw several crucian carp as big as a palm swimming leisurely in the pond.

"Xiaobai, look at it!" Meimei was proud, raised her net, seized the opportunity of a crucian carp swimming in front of her, and suddenly got off the net.

Hurry!

The water came out of the net, and there were only a few aquatic plants. Meimei curled her lips depressedly and said to herself: "I don't believe it."

I saw the opportunity and took action again. I thought I had gained it, but the internet was still empty. My sister was unwilling to admit defeat and started to take action again and again with all her concentration.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Meimei screamed. She stepped too far beside her, the edge of the ridge collapsed, and her feet fell into the water.

The pond is much deeper than it looks. If it is an adult, it would probably be fine if it falls in, but for a little girl who is only one meter two in height, such depth is enough to submerge her.

"Cough, cough, help--" Meimei choked on the water and fluttered in panic. She couldn't swim!

Bai Bai looked at Meimei in the water curiously on the shore and asked foolishly: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Is it fun in the water?"

"Xiaobai, cough cough, save me quickly, cough cough, help me!" Meimei sank in the water and burst into tears. She couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Sister looks very painful, it's so strange. OK, I'll go down to play too." Bai Bai tilted his neck and thought about it, but he jumped into the water.

"Ahem, it's so uncomfortable, it's not fun at all...Ahem, it feels like it's almost dead... Strange, what is death? Why do I feel strange...

"He jumped into the water in vain and followed the footsteps of Meimei. He couldn't even water. Or rather, he didn't know what water was. He felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Just when Baibai felt that he was about to die (although he understood the meaning of "death", something suddenly pushed his body suddenly.

Hurry!

Two young drowning people were thrown to the shore, coughing violently, and spitting out a pool of water.

"Ahem...huh, my god, grandpa knows this, I will definitely beat me to death! Xiaobai, are you stupid? Why are you jumping down!"

"Oh, I see you playing very interestingly, and I want to play with you too."

"Uh--the melon seller, I'm dead... When you go back, you must not tell grandparents what happened today, do you know?"

"oh."

Meimei breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the turbid pool with lingering fear, and muttered: "It's weird, how did I get up? I feel like someone pushed me..."

There was no one in the pool. Meimei looked at Bai Bai, who stared at the pool stupidly. (To be continued...)
