At this moment, Gu Tie was driving on Route 678. Even though it was already autumn, the Polish sun at 11 o'clock at noon was still emitting heat. He reached out and turned on the air conditioner. The electric compressor started to cool down, and a pleasant cool breeze spewed out from the air outlet.
The call he just made to his adoptive father was transferred to voicemail. This did not surprise Gu Tie. At eleven o'clock in the morning on weekdays, the gray-haired Dr. Bartholomew must still be busy in his office. Although the Chinese did not know it What is the content of the adoptive father's current work... In fact, Bartholomew has never shared his research topics with his son... but he must be immersed in front of the terminal screen and dealing with long strings of code. Since his adoptive father was a teenager, he Sent to China, there was very little communication between Gu Tie and Dr. Bartholomew. Like most fathers and sons in the world, there is a deep bond of love between father and son. There is also a deep natural gap. The phone was not connected. .On the contrary, Gu Tie breathed a sigh of relief.
His adoptive father is a high-level executive of GTC. Although he has left the seat of power of the twelve-member GTC executive committee, Gu Tie has no doubt that the old man still has strong appeal and hidden power. Is Bartholomew involved in the manufacture of miniature quantum computers? He Whether he knew about the doomsday code indicated by the irrational numbers? Could the "Red Owl Brotherhood" be related to him? These thoughts flashed in Gu Tie's mind. He knew that the possibility existed, but he did not want to think too much. He did not dare to think too much. think.
Highway 678 is a two-way four-lane semi-enclosed expressway. There are not many cars on the road. Gu Tie cruised slowly at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. A sign flashed out of the window. It is only 40 kilometers away from Warsaw. It seems that we can arrive before lunch. City of Mermaids. Gu Tie reached out and pressed a few times on the touch screen to bring up the vehicle's automatic control menu. The autonomous driving project called "Rapid Europe" has been implemented for many years. 30% of passenger vehicles across the European continent are equipped with quantum computers. The automatic driving function consists of network terminals, GPS chips and road traffic interaction equipment. However, in Poland, which is not economically developed, only luxury vehicles produced in recent years like the 48 Grand Cherokee are equipped with it. "Very good." The automatic control project shows It can be turned on. The Chinese nodded. The destination, speed, avoidance method, automatic traffic jam reminder and other parameters were set on the screen. It turned to automatic driving.
The driving posture of the electric Cherokee was adjusted invisibly. The automatic driving function was activated. Gu Tie let go of the steering wheel and accelerator. He watched the steering wheel and continued to fine-tune the direction. The car cruised smoothly in the slow lane. Now he could take some time to do something important. Things: For him who doesn’t understand Polish, the communication problem must be solved first. Of course, there is only one solution. Turn to the omnipotent quantum network. Regardless of the attitude towards GTC, no one can deny the future that "Genesis" brings to mankind. It brings countless possibilities.
Twenty minutes later, a simple real-time translation system was formed. Gu Tie used two important interactive components in it. One is used to input the sound signal from reality received by the auditory nerve into the terminal. The other It is used to adjust the input ratio between the virtual visual signal from the implanted terminal and the real visual signal from the optic nerve. As for the translation itself, it is the best problem to solve.
It sounds complicated. In fact, the principle of the system is very simple. When someone around him speaks a language that he does not understand, Gu Tie's auditory nerve transmits the sentence to the implanted terminal. The terminal digitizes it and inputs it into the network to obtain the translation result. The translation results are displayed in front of Gu Tie's eyes in the form of text. The so-called "in front of his eyes" is not the image on the retina. It is the overlap of virtual and real visual signals at the optic nerve. The data information is suspended above the real field of view. The actual composition He invented an augmented reality system. A few years ago, Google launched a novel gadget called "ss". It is an augmented reality device that uses glasses to project information. Gu Tie also bought one when he was a child. In addition to taking pictures anytime and anywhere, he also surfed the Internet. There is no other use for it. He feels that the real augmented reality should be like the Terminator. When you see a person, a piece of information will pop up on his head... Now think about it, this project is not difficult to realize at all. .Implanted chips still have great potential for expansion. Gu Tie decided to study it carefully when he has time.
He completed the translation system. He blinked. A blank text box appeared in the upper right corner of his field of vision. Since it was directly projected on the visual center, he could even see this unsightly white frame hanging there if he closed his eyes. "I guess. It's a bit disruptive to your sleep at night. Remember to turn it off." Gu Tie muttered to himself. He reached out and turned on the radio. He changed a few channels and found an FM station broadcasting news.
As the male announcer quickly reported a piece of news, the results of real-time translation began to scroll in the field of vision. Of course, the translation language was Chinese, which he was most familiar with. "...On September 28, an incident occurred at the hospital in Zawak Town, a small town in southern Poland. Serious medical malpractice. A drunk doctor mistakenly inserted a needle into the baby's head when he delivered the baby. The baby has been confirmed to be in stable condition after examination. The irritated parents of the baby took the gynecologist to court. The police tested the doctor's blood The alcohol content is 2.0/mg. It is a state of drunkenness. The court said that the gynecologist faces up to 5 years in prison..."
"What the hell." The news made Gu Tie burst out laughing. Translating from Polish to Chinese seemed to be no problem. Then he had to solve the problem of speaking. He thought about using bioelectricity to control the muscles of the lips, teeth, throat, tongue, and vocal cords. Shrink. Directly control your own generation system to speak a foreign language. Just think about it. This is too huge a system project.
"Hmm. What should I say?" He thought for a moment. "Okay, tell me, 'Uncle, have you eaten it? Is this bottle of Erguotou 56 degrees or 62 degrees?'"
I thought about it. The Chinese text of this sentence was entered into the terminal. Then the Polish sentence expressed in the form of International Phonetic Alphabet appeared in the text box. At the same time, a demonstration pronunciation sounded in my ears. This is a stupid method. But as long as you avoid speaking too long Sentences. Temporary emergencies are enough. Gu Tie opened his mouth and said: "Desai will suffer. When the native dog races, you can..." With his language talent, as long as he demonstrates the pronunciation first, except for the small retroflex sound of his personality, there is no other sentence. They all learned to be inseparable. After chatting for a long time in a foreign language that they didn't understand, the Chinese nodded with satisfaction. "Let's live together."
Didi's warning sounded. The Cherokee had just reached the end of autonomous driving. The "Rapid Europe" project aims to liberate drivers driving on highways and intercity expressways. Once it reaches the end of the expressway, autonomous driving will be forcibly released. The research results of the European Transport Safety Committee and GTC show that the efficiency of autonomous driving in complex urban road conditions is much lower than that of manual driving...you have to drive alone in the city.
Gu Tie took over the steering wheel and accelerator. He queued up and entered a checkpoint. Staff in blue uniforms stopped gasoline and diesel vehicles one by one. They handed out environmental protection pamphlets to the drivers and then let the poor conventionally powered cars turn around and leave. The electric Cherokee successfully passed the environmental inspection and drove out of the inspection station. In front of it was the historic city of Warsaw.
Gu Tie had a good impression of this city that had been destroyed by war many times and had been built up many times. Entering the city from this direction, he saw a patchwork of modern skyscrapers. The greening was good and the streets were neat. But there was no sense of history. When the car drove onto the highway bridge over the Vivas River, he saw a red spire full of medieval style on the other side of the river across the city. Only then did Gu Tie feel the charm of the ancient city of Warsaw.
The car stopped after arriving at Zamkoyo Square. Since a few years ago, the Warsaw City Government has completely banned vehicles from entering the walls of the Old City of Warsaw. From here on, you have to walk or take a small electric tour bus. Gu Tie is not in a hurry to go straight Holy Cross Cathedral. He parked the car in the parking lot of a hotel. After paying the parking fee, he strolled into Zamukyo Square and found an outdoor cafe to sit down. In the middle of the square, there was a statue holding a cross. The tall statue is of the Polish Emperor Zegomund III, the founder of Warsaw, who moved the Polish capital from Krakow to Warsaw at the end of the 16th century.
"Coffee. What do you recommend about lunch?" Gu Tie snapped his fingers and greeted the waiter in the Polish language he learned now.
"Cauliflower soup with eggs and sausage, fried pork chops, pizza, and cheese. This is today's recommendation. Sir, the coffee will be delivered soon. The weather is very hot today. Why don't you have a cup of our home-brewed dark beer?" said the middle-aged man. The waiter diligently wiped the coffee table.
The translation system worked well. The translated text appeared in front of Gu Tie's eyes. "It's all up to you. Dark beer. Who can refuse dark beer." He ordered with a proud smile.
The coffee was okay. The dark beer tasted mellow. The Warsaw cuisine was mediocre. After a brief review of lunch, the Chinese used an augmented reality interface to write code. They captured several surveillance cameras in the center of the ancient city of Warsaw and observed the situation around the destination. "It should have been long ago. That's it. It's true. Although the work efficiency is very high when entering the 'Pure Land', personal safety is not guaranteed. So we should turn a blind eye and do both work and study." He muttered a few words to himself. Turn on the camera picture in the upper right corner of the field of view. There are tourists bustling. There is nothing unusual. The facial recognition program did not find any suspicious faces. At least the group of Japanese people seen at Bialystok Railway Station have not appeared at Holy Cross now. Around the cathedral.
Gu Tie waved to check out and dug into his pockets. He found a stack of prepared change in his pocket. The clothes he was wearing were part of Ed's reserve supplies. Not only did the brand logos be cut off every piece to prevent tracking, but also in every pocket and trouser pocket. They all contain emergency small-denomination bills. There are all kinds of small tools sewn on the corners of this jacket. It's perfect for sliding doors and picking locks.
Walking slowly towards the destination, Gu Tie bought a pair of sunglasses from a street stall and put them on. He put his right hand into his pocket and held the handle of the pistol. He turned a corner and found the famous Krakow Street in Warsaw. "Royal" "Road" is dotted with palaces, government agencies and churches. Of course, the unassuming Cathedral of the Holy Cross is waiting there.
