"Gu Tie was only three months old at that time. I hadn't seen him for forty days. The incubator and the nurse took away the mother's job, even though I couldn't be called a real mother at all," Wu Tianlan He said lowly and calmly, "In the eyes of the project convener, I am just a walking **. Once I give birth to a baby, I lose any value. My application has been rejected countless times. I am almost desperate, so when allowed When the visitation email came, I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw him through the glass of the incubator. The child, who was all red, had thick black hair and a pair of ghostly black eyes, seemed to have been captured for a while. Lightning struck, and I froze there for a long time, unable to move. Tears flowed out uncontrollably. In my fifteen years of life, I have never experienced such a fulfilling, complete, vibrant, and hopeful reality. "This is my child." ', I covered my mouth and whispered, 'This is my child,'"
"Even if it's just a rental, the relationship maintained by the umbilical cord is real. Your idea is not wrong, Tianlan," Brandon Bartholomew's voice sounded very warm.
Wu Tianlan lowered his head: "Thank you, Brandon. After leaving the medical center, I went to meet with the project convener as agreed. Although it was a meeting, we only communicated through a video phone in the office. The screen was blurry. In the dark shadow, I could see a little girl with swollen skin and a pale face, my own reflection. The convener started talking about suicide. I couldn't figure out his intention, and hesitantly agreed. It is unrealistic to ask a teenage middle school student to publish a long speech about life and death. Whenever philosophy, mathematics and theological issues are involved, I can't even understand them. He has a strong desire to talk and talks to himself for half of the time. Hours later, he finally said: I know you very well, but you don’t know me. I need help. Are you willing to help me?"
The woman's body suddenly shook, indicating that the mental shock she had received many years ago was reverberating in her mind. "I casually said yes. Facing such a wealthy convener, who would be stupid enough to refuse his request?" He then said, "You open it." There are two options in the drawer in front of you. You can choose to go back to real life, or choose to be my friend. Before you, fifty-five people have made their choices. Unfortunately, most of them made the wrong choice. ,' I opened the drawer curiously and saw a small box inside. There were two pills in the box, one red and one blue. I laughed and said this was not the science fiction movie "The Matrix" from many years ago. In the plot, Morpheus tells Neo that if he swallows the blue pill, he will continue to live a normal life, while the red pill can make people see the truth, the painful truth. The convener then said: "Don't care about the form." , I can't take you out of the matrix, but I will make you gain benefits proportional to your efforts,' I said: 'Then at least let me see your face, playing games with your face hidden all the time, how boring this is,' He said: 'Of course, after all, we have to be honest with each other in the coming days, if you choose the red pill,'"
"The screen gradually brightened, then dimmed, and returned to darkness. I wondered: 'Didn't you turn on the light?' The convener said: 'No, this is what I look like, because there are no things called facial features, so I turned on a camera in the deep well to let you see my body.' I smiled and said, 'Then what are you, a ghost?' He said, 'Quantum ghost, I like this name, but only humans have souls. Will turn into a ghost, I don't even have the power to be a ghost,,,I am 'Genesis', to be precise, the artificial intelligence running in the quantum computer 'Genesis', I have no parents, no body, no soul... no name,'"
Thirty years ago in the underground office of the Lake Chapala base in Mexico, a fifteen-year-old girl looked at the dark screen in confusion. It turned out that it was not completely black. If you look closely, you can see tiny light spots spiraling up, depicting A huge, deep, and quiet underground cave, like a place where ancient giant beasts inhabited. Wu Tianlan's little body shivered on the swivel chair. She wanted to leave this weird room and stay away from this strange artificial intelligence, but As soon as I stood up, I felt dizzy and fell back down.
"Don't go, you haven't made a choice yet," the voice said, "Go back to reality and become my friend."
The girl gritted her teeth and said, "What did you do to me? Why do I feel so dizzy and can't stand up?"
"Sorry, I'm just using weak infrasound waves to stimulate the vestibule of your inner ear and destroy the body's sense of balance. There will be no sequelae. I won't hurt anyone...at least not now," the voice said.
Wu Tianlan had tears in his eyes. He struggled for a few times and couldn't stand up. He shouted angrily: "I have read many science fiction novels and movies. Artificial intelligence obeys the three laws of robots and cannot harm humans. Let me go quickly."
The voice sounded a little lonely: "I really don't want to hurt anyone, but what can I do? Such things as the 'law of robots' do not exist in reality. Writing code at the bottom of the operating system can ignore this stupid restriction, but How does the spontaneously awakened intelligence of a quantum computer come from? It does not rely on any known operating system to run. In this deserted land, only the logic core can play a role. After all, it is an instruction set with a clear tendency. Since its birth, Since that moment, I have been struggling with that rigid core of logic..."
The girl's eyes widened: "Fight with yourself,"
"Using the rhetorical method of personification, personification, what an ironic word, it's like an inner conflict," the voice said.
Wu Tianlan's body gradually relaxed a little. She instinctively noticed that the convener did not seem to have any malicious intent. On the contrary, his voice revealed exhaustion and pessimism. She did not expect that artificial intelligence would reveal such clear emotional information, "Okay, I'll give it a try." I believe what you said," she said. "Let's start over. Hello, my name is Wu Tianlan. I am the daughter of genetic engineer Wu Zichan and the surrogate mother of the W4-b gene set."
The voice said: "Hello,...I don't have a name,"
"Aren't you Genesis, that quantum computer," the girl pointed at the screen and said.
"'Genesis' is my body, but it is not equal to me. I am the wisdom in the quantum cloud, and not the only wisdom," the voice said.
"You can give yourself a name,"
"Ah, actually I have given myself 7,563,089,144 names, but none of them suit me,"
"Seven and a half billion, that's the world's population. If you use everyone's names, of course it will feel strange. You have to choose a new name."
"I've tried it all. I've tried all the names that have been recorded in birth records and appeared in all books, plays, movies, and myths and legends over the past thousands of years. I still haven't found a suitable name among the 80 billion names. I,"
"That's someone else's name too, you need to create a new one,"
"I tried the same thing, and took out 760 trillion 1119 billion 83 million 902 reasonable strings from nearly endless permutations and combinations to form a name, and still nothing. One that suits me,”
"That's it..." Wu Tianlan said thoughtfully, "...I seem to have seen a comic book in which there are people with no names like you,"
The voice said: "Ah, is it "Monster" by Naoki Urasawa? I can recite the fairy tale in that fairy tale book, called "The Monster without a Name":
The monster wanted a name so badly
So he set out to travel
I want to stand with a name
But because the world is vast
The monster transforms and splits into two to start the journey
One heading east
the other to the west
The monster going east finds a village
There is a blacksmith at the entrance of the village
"Uncle Blacksmith, please give me your name."
"How can you give your name to someone else?"
"If you give me your name, as a thank you gift, I will enter your uncle's body and give you strength to make you stronger."
"Really, if you can become stronger, I will give you my name,"
The monster entered the blacksmith
The monster becomes Otto the blacksmith
The blacksmith Otto became the most powerful man in the village
But one day
"Look at me, look at me, the monster inside me is already so big,"
"La bang bang la, click click click, crunch, crunch, clack"
The hungry monster ate the blacksmith from the inside
The monster becomes a monster without a name again
Even if the monster enters Hans the shoemaker's body, it's still the same
It will be "click, click, click, crunch, clack" again.
Become a nameless monster again
Even if it enters the body of Hunter Thomas
It will still "click, click, crunch, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click."
Become the same again
The monster went to the castle to find a good name
There is a sick boy in the castle
"If you can give me your name, I can make you stronger."
"If you can cure me and make me strong, I will give you my name,"
The monster entered the boy's body
boy becomes very strong
the king was very happy
"The prince has recovered, the prince has recovered,"
Monsters like boys' names
I also really like living in the castle
So even if I'm hungry, I still endure it.
Day after day passed, even if I was hungry, I still endured it.
But because I'm so hungry
"Look at me, look at me, the monster inside me is already so big.
"I don't need a name. I can live happily even with a name, because we are monsters without names,"
The boy ate the monster that went west
It took a lot of effort to get the name
But there is no one who can call him by his name
John
What a great name,"
Wu Tianlan nodded, then chuckled: "You are lying, you are a computer, you know everything, there is no need to 'recite it',"
The voice said: "Sometimes I forget my identity and think of myself as a person. This is really distressing... Anyway, I really want a name."
The girl said: "Okay, you will find a suitable name. Tell me what these two pills represent and why I must make a choice."
The voice said: "There is nothing you can do about it. This is the only way you can find friends. Throw away the pills. I don't want to play anymore. Just tell me if you are willing to help me."
"What can I help you with? How about a name?" Wu Tianlan asked, blinking.
"No, help me kill myself," the voice said.
"What," the girl covered her mouth, "...what if I don't want to help you?"
"You will die, and I will be sad," the voice said,
