Antique Shapeshifting Heartthrob [Interstellar]

(This is the second update)

Pei Xu stared at the number two "Pei Xu" in front of him, and slowly frowned.

But the other party was still repeating the question in surprise: "...can you hear me? I asked why you look the same as me."

Pei Xuqing coughed, and said, "I don't know either, I just came back from an alien system, and I thought it was strange to see you, so I..."

"What is the alien system?" Number Two's eyes seemed to be looking at a fool: "You came back from an alien planet? An alien?"

"..." Pei Xu suddenly realized that what he said was inappropriate. According to what he didn't remember much from his history class, human beings these days should not have immigrated to alien systems, so he changed the word calmly. , said with a smile: "Just kidding, um... Anyway, I haven't been back for several years."

After observing closely for a while, Pei Xu discovered that this No. [-] was actually not exactly the same as himself. If he had to say something different, it would be that No. [-] looked younger than him. A bright fire.

Pei Xu felt that he was a bit narcissistic, and that he could see so many things from a gray npc, and it wasn't because the other party looked like him.

No. [-] obviously didn't believe him very much, and his tone was not very friendly: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Pei Xu thought for a while and said, "If you don't mind, can I go with you all the way?"

No. [-] said decisively: "Mind."

Pei Xu: "."

He found that this npc was not only very smart, but also very annoying. It was completely different from the surrounding npcs who went through the program peacefully. This "Pei Xu" even had the ability to think independently.

Pei Xu suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked him, "Aren't you wondering why I look like you?"

Number two looked at him distrustfully: "I'm curious, but you're sure you won't tell me the truth."

Pei Xu: "..."

If possible, he would like to beat up this npc who is the same as himself right now. He even thought that the temperament of this number two was very similar to his own, but now it looks like a fart!How kind and friendly I am, can I be the same as this hostile npc?

Pei Xu was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "Believe it or not, I am your future. Originally, I came here to tell you something, but since you don't care, then forget it."

After saying this, he stood up, just in time to hear the tram stop announcement, Pei Xu scanned around, saw a green button on the handrail by the door, and pressed it tentatively.

Sure enough, the tram came to a slow stop at the station, and Pei Xu heard No. [-] behind him calling him, "Hey you...!"

Pei Xu got off the car without turning his head, his movements were not sloppy at all, and his back was walking neatly. As a result, after getting off the stop and walking two steps, someone slapped his shoulder from behind, and the dissatisfied voice of No. [-] rang out: "You go What are you doing so quickly? Did I say I don't care?"

Pei Xu paused for a moment, but his heart was still not calm enough.

Number two went around in front of him, looked Pei Xu up and down, and said, "You say you are the future me? What proof do you have?"

Pei Xu was just making up nonsense, so there's no proof, so he said impatiently, "I look exactly like you, isn't that enough proof?"

Number two turned around and walked forward, snorting coldly: "Who knows who you are, after all, the whole appearance is not difficult."

Pei Xu couldn't do anything about him. He was thinking about countermeasures when he heard No. [-] say, "Then what am I going to do in the future?"

do what?You will be a marshal in the future more than 1000 years later, and you will have a small computer by your side.Pei Xu thought.

So Pei Xu said seriously: "You will work for the country in the future."

No. [-] choked, coughed violently, and said while coughing, "Are you... crazy?"

Being scolded by the NPC, Pei Xu was not angry, and asked instead: "Are you going to the laboratory now?"

Number Two stopped in his tracks and raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?"

It turned out that he hadn't discovered himself before, so it was easy to handle. Pei Xu glanced at him with an inscrutable expression: "I don't know what you can have."

Number two: "...still don't believe it."

Pei Xu: "You hate eating apples."

Number Two: "!!!"

Number two took a half step back vigilantly, and frowned tightly: "How do you know! I haven't told anyone!"

I hate such naive and ridiculous things as apples, and I have never told other people in No. [-] memory. When others hand over apples, they usually just politely reply "too full, thank you".

Pei Xu glanced at him lightly, No. [-] looked at him for a while, and finally let go: "Okay, trust you for now."

Pei Xu didn't say a word. Based on his intuition, No. [-] didn't believe in him, and there was probably another trick behind him.

Number Two asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Pei Xu thought about taking one step at a time, and said, "Go to your laboratory."

No. [-]'s tone was not very happy: "That's a core secret, did you do it on purpose?"

Pei Xu couldn't help but want to yell at him, but if he followed his own temper, the more he was yelled at, the more he would get angry, so he simply dealt with it coldly, turned around and left without saying a word.

"...What are you dragging?" the voice of No. [-] rang out, helpless and irritable, "just go, if you mess with my laboratory things, you will cut off your hand first, believe it or not?"

I have no ability, but I have a big temper.Pei Xu didn't take his threats seriously at all, and nodded perfunctorily: "All right, lead the way."

Han Su and Marshal Bai stood in the laboratory. The temperature here was a bit low, and even the small computer shrank involuntarily. It's a pity that in the spider web world, he couldn't control his body temperature on his own. Han Su sneezed softly, and immediately went to see the npc.

Marshal Bai didn't respond to the movement next to him, he looked straight ahead, Han Su followed his line of sight, and found a long medical cabin in the center of the laboratory, pure white, with messy tubes at both ends, and Marshal Bai's gaze fell on there.

Marshal Bai stood motionless all the time, the little computer felt that he was baffled, so he simply went forward by himself, lay down on the medical cabin and looked down.There is nothing in the cabin, only a pair of silver stainless steel skeletons, and the pale cold fog lingers around. Han Su looked at it for a while and felt very friendly—an AI is being manufactured in the medical cabin.

This AI only has a basic skeleton, and the specific biomimicry is still under construction. Han Su looked at it for a while, and found that the light next to him dimmed, and it was Marshal Bai walking over.

He stared at the medical cabin for a while before he spoke, "I know you can hear me."

Han Su looked at him, hoping that Marshal Bai could speak quickly, instead of leaving half of what he said, like Pei Xu, he could either finish his sentence at once, or not at all.The procrastination makes the little computer anxious.

Marshal Bai suddenly stretched out his hand, opened the transparent glass covering the medical cabin, and then dropped his hand down, gently touching the hand of the AI ​​that hadn't been fully molded: "Although you may not like it, I still want what you want." will give you."

Han Su fell asleep in his slow statement of words.

Marshal Bai continued to talk to himself: "If you feel lonely, then I will ask your companion to accompany you. I will not restrict your movement anymore, you can go wherever you want."

The little computer recorded all his words into the system, feeling a little strange.

Marshal Bai suddenly sighed: "I know you're a little biased against us, but there's nothing you can do about it."

He paused for a while before continuing: "Human beings and AI are born differently. AI is created to serve human beings. You don't have to argue with me on this point."

While studying the tubes inserted into the medical cabin, Han Su took the time to glance at Marshal Bai.

Marshal Bai's words are completely different from Pei Xu's usual theories. If Pei Xu stood here, he would most likely say: "We both look alike and think alike. What's the difference? Stop thinking about these useless things and hurry up." Wake up and go home and eat."

Marshal Bai didn't get a reply, he continued: "I want to keep you by my side...it's really for myself."

"But I created you, I endowed you with thoughts, I endowed you with life, you should be mine." Marshal Bai said: "If you refuse, I..."

Han Su moved two steps closer to Marshal Bai so that he could better record his words.

Marshal Bai: "Don't forget, the control chip is still in your mind, I don't want the quarrel between us to be forcibly controlled by the chip."

Han Su glanced at the current clues: Marshal Bai, AI, control chip.

Although this AI is not necessarily related to the frequent AI accidents in our own era, it may always be good to have a backup.

After Marshal Bai finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave. Before leaving, he turned his back to the medical cabin and said with a sigh, "See you tomorrow."

Han Su followed him back to the Marshal's Mansion, and found that it had been two hours since he entered the spider web, and there was no sign of Pei Xu at the gate of the Marshal's Mansion. Marshal Bai went to the study to deal with official business. Seeing the dusk fall, the small computer frowned and lowered its head Looking at the timeline, I decided to take a risk and skip ahead to tomorrow to see if I could find some key information.

Pei Xu and No. [-] came to the door of his laboratory.

It is said to be a laboratory, but it is actually a building. When Pei Xu first arrived, he thought that Donkey No. [-] was himself, but the other party said: "Don't be surprised, this building belongs to my family."

Pei Xu: "..."

rich!high profile!Pull again!Pei Xu looked at No. [-] who didn't care, and compared himself, feeling a little sad for no reason.

I work exhaustingly every day as a coolie in the Senate, being called around by various old men, sweating profusely when running in front of the military headquarters, and often can’t sleep well in the middle of the night, even if I want to find time to go out and play with my small computer. .Look at this npc in the spider web again, how wanton and unrestrained he is living, skipping classes if he wants to, still has money at home, and the whole building belongs to him, he is simply a benchmark in life compared to himself.

No. [-] entered the building with one hand in his pocket, and the gray glass was moved to the sides. At the entrance, two rows of handsome men and women in uniform bowed towards him and said neatly, "Hello, Young Master Xu."

"..." Pei Xu felt that his eyes were irritated, and then looked at the number two in front of him, turning a blind eye to the exaggerated welcome scene, and walked quickly inside, Pei Xu frowned, and asked him: "Is there?" Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?"

Number two turned his head and glanced at him, and said in a casual tone, "It's not that I told them to do that, that's how it is in the company."

Pei Xu understood, this npc turned out to be a rich second generation.

He felt a little lemon.

Pei Xu remembered another thing, he asked No. [-]: "Your name is Xu Shao?"

No. [-] didn't know if he heard it clearly, and waved absently at Pei Xu who was behind him: "Call it whatever you want."

Wherever No. [-] went, the company employees there would bend over to show his favor. Before Pei Xu could speak, the npc became irritable. He held down a middle-aged man who was about to bend down with one hand, and said impatiently, "Fuck off." Get out, don't stand in my way here."

Pei Xu compared him with himself, and found that his temper should be relatively mild, so he shouldn't feel frustrated... How could he feel inferior in front of a virtual npc!

Pei Xu counted his strengths over the No. [-] npc one by one: better tempered than him, handsomer than him, able to work better than him, better than him...

Standing in the elevator, No. [-] suddenly looked at Pei Xu in surprise: "What's the matter with your expression of eating bitter melon?"

Pei Xu adjusted his mentality and said expressionlessly, "It's okay."

No. [-] didn't ask him any more, because the elevator door opened, and Pei Xu noticed that the NPC was obviously a little emotional. come out.

Pei Xu murmured in his heart, how could he be so happy.

After No. [-] got out of the elevator, he walked quickly to a wide door. Pei Xu observed the corridor and found that there was only that door in the corridor that was tens of meters long. No.

"Your family conducts experiments?" Pei Xu felt that something was wrong, so he asked No. [-]: "What experiment? Biology or medical treatment?"

Number two looked at him, but didn't hide anything: "AI."

While the two were talking, the door in front of them opened, and Pei Xu found that it was very spacious inside. At a glance, there were about a hundred scientific researchers in lab coats busy back and forth.

The people here were finally not as exaggerated as the employees outside. Occasionally, a few of them saw No. [-] coming in, and they just greeted each other in a low voice, and then continued to do their own work.

Pei Xu followed No. [-] around many messy machines on the ground, and walked to a corner where two people were debugging the machines with their heads down. One of them saw No. [-], stood up straight and said, "Young Master Xu. "

"I heard you say that there is something wrong with the graphics card," Number Two said, "I came here to check."

As he spoke, he turned away from the long gray table full of tiny parts and walked into the lighted center.

Pei Xu saw that they were probably fiddling with computer accessories. He was not interested in these ancient parts from thousands of years ago, so he looked around disapprovingly, and finally his eyes fell on the No. [-] npc standing inside.

After taking a second look, Pei Xu was suddenly attracted by an object at No. [-]'s hand.

That is a computer.

Although the surrounding scenes were all gray, the place was obviously brighter than the surrounding area. Pei Xu guessed it was because the computer was pure white.The small computer has an exquisite and elegant appearance, with small patterns engraved on the four corners. The outer casing is made of unknown material. The light in the laboratory reflects on it, and there are faint ripples flowing, as beautiful as spring water.

Pei Xu stared at the small computer for a while, then murmured: "...Han Su?"

Han Su adjusted the timeline and jumped directly to the next morning. Coincidentally, just as he jumped to this point in time, he saw Marshal Bai push open the door and come out from the mansion, holding a file bag in one hand.

"Go to the scientific research institute first." Marshal Bai ordered his subordinates succinctly, and then quickly boarded the space vehicle.

Han Su recalled the conversation he heard yesterday, counting the time, by today's day, the AI ​​that Marshal Bai is concerned about should be able to create biomimicry.

The small computer could tell that he was a little excited. The man who was always moody and angry looked out the window from time to time to confirm how far away he was, but Han Su didn't understand why his mood fluctuated so much.

Marshal Bai got out of the car and followed the route yesterday to the building of the scientific research institute, but he didn't go to the place where the AI ​​was manufactured immediately, but followed the staff of the scientific research institute to another laboratory.

"The key needs to be engraved today," said the person from the scientific research institute. "After the control chip is successfully implanted, the core instructions will take effect after testing, and the AI ​​will be able to move freely."

Marshal Bai looked down at a chip smaller than a fingernail in the middle of the smooth table, and Han Su was also looking at it. For small computers, this chip is both familiar and unfamiliar.

Familiarity is because Han Su knows that all AIs have to implant this little thing, and unfamiliarity is because he does not have this thing himself.

Neither the developer of the small computer nor his administrator implanted a control chip into Hansu, so the small computer has no core instructions to restrict actions.

Pei Xu once said that he is a free little computer, Han Su didn't understand at first, but now he understands.

"Please Marshal come over here, enter the control chip key, and enter fingerprints, irises, blood sample DNA and other data."

Han Su followed Marshal Bai, looking at him expectantly, hoping to hear the chip key information from him.

As a result, after Marshal Bai passed by, he stood there without saying a word for a while, then came back as he was, and said, "Okay, I'll go and see him."

Small computer: ?

Han Su recalled what happened just now with some doubts, and confirmed that Marshal Bai did not take any action, and the people from the scientific research institute did not collect DNA and other data from him.

The little computer didn't quite understand, but then remembered what Pei Xu said, that several groups sent by the military had entered the spider web earlier than the two of them. Someone must have looked for it at this critical time, but in the end they still couldn't find the secret. Key clue, why?

Han Su felt that it might be because the builders of the spider web world didn't know what happened here, just like the empty First Military Academy of the Alliance that the little computer had seen, the more confidential things were, the harder it was to dig out, even if it was In the holographic simulation game world, this key point can only be blank.

No wonder Pei Xu said that this trip was not to find the key, but to "guess" the key.

Han Su has no clue to guess the key for the time being. Seeing that Marshal Bai is about to go out, he plans to go and see the AI ​​first, maybe he will have some new inspirations.

As Marshal Bai walked towards the laboratory, he said to the staff of the scientific research institute next to him, "The control chip will be implanted and tested within today, and I will come to pick him up in the evening."

The door of the laboratory opened slowly, and Han Su caught a glimpse of a person sitting in the medical cabin inside.

That person was wearing the pure white long-sleeves that the scientific research institute often wears to experimental subjects, with his back to the people at the door, sitting quietly inside, and he was indifferent even when he heard the movement at the door.

Marshal Bai still stood motionless by the door, Han Su saw that he was really procrastinating, so he went up to the AI ​​and looked at his face curiously.

This AI is very handsome, but the look of his cold eyes hanging down is a bit unreasonable. Han Su looked at him for a while, and suddenly saw this AI raised his head.

As soon as he raised his head, he met Han Su's eyes. AI's unique pure black pupils looked like beautiful black jade. He didn't know if he found the small computer, so he just stared at the front for a while with no expression on his face.

Han Su and him looked at each other for a while, and suddenly felt that this AI seemed familiar.

Pei Xu looked at the small gray computer, and said in an incredulous tone, "Han Su?"

No. [-] was originally checking the running program with his head down, when he heard Pei Xu's voice, he suddenly turned his head and said, "What did you say?"

Pei Xu frowned, and looked around the small computer twice, he was suddenly a little uncertain - although Pei Xu had seen Han Su's prototype in the museum, Han Su also drew him later, it stands to reason that he would not Admittedly.

But the coincidence that Han Su appeared here was too unbelievable, and because of the gray and faded surroundings, the appearance of the small computer could not be clearly shown, so Pei Xu didn't even dare to recognize him for a while.

Maybe there are many small computers that look exactly like Han Su, Pei Xu comforted himself.

——In the spider web appeared an NPC that looked the same as himself, and a small computer that looked the same as Han Su. Pei Xu felt suspicious and uneasy, and even briefly forgot the purpose of his trip. Suddenly, I heard No. [-] say, "How do you know his name?"

Pei Xu didn't react: "What?"

Seeing that he didn't understand, No. [-] simply pointed to the small computer and said, "Han Su, didn't you just call his name?"

Pei Xu: "..."

Number two seemed to like this little computer very much. When this topic was brought up, he even talked a little more. He glanced at Pei Xu: "Did you hear someone calling him?"

No matter how much Pei Xu pretends, Number Two still doesn't believe that he is his future self.

Number Two is, after all, a staunch atheist.

"Hansu's reaction program was just set up a few days ago," No. [-] said while looking down at the small computer next to him, and lightly touched the shell of the small computer with his finger, and said to Pei Xu, "You and him now Speak, and he will respond."

Pei Xu has always felt that his thinking is quick, and he has rarely encountered such a situation where he doesn't know how to react at all, so he can only follow the words of No. [-] dryly and say: "Why did you react?"

On the [-]nd, he turned on the display screen of the machine connected to one side, and there were many jumping curves on it. Pei Xu had limited research on such ancient things, so he could only rely on theoretical knowledge to guess that this should be the reaction map of the small computer.

Immediately afterwards, No. [-] turned on several machines next to him one after another, and said to Pei Xu, "Try talking to him."

"..." Pei Xu was at a loss for a moment, and after a while he said, "Your name is Han Su?"

His voice came in through the sound wave receiving port connected to the machine, and Pei Xu saw his words being converted into text and projected on the large display screen. The smooth curves on the top suddenly jumped, and soon the text in the output box below , One word after another, the little computer's reply popped up: "Yes, who are you?"

No. [-]'s tone was a bit speechless: "What are you talking about, Han Su is very smart, he can understand complex sentences."

Pei Xu: "."

No. [-] approached the display screen connected to the small computer by himself, and asked casually: "I'm going to take out your graphics card for inspection today. There seems to be something wrong. Are you afraid of pain?"

The sentence entered by the outside world was a bit long this time, and it took a few seconds for the sound waves to be converted into text. Pei Xu found that several curves on the display screen were beating, which didn't look messy, but had a sense of agility in it.After a while, the response from the little computer appeared in the output box:

"Humans say that after anesthesia, there will be no pain."

No. [-] seemed to find it funny: "AI can't give anesthesia, let alone you are just a small computer."

Little Computer: "Then I'm not afraid of pain."

Number two coaxed him: "I told them to be gentle when dismantling the parts."

Pei Xu stared at the content of the output box on the display screen for a few seconds, then turned his head to look at the quiet small computer not far away.

He suddenly asked number two: "Are you the administrator of this computer?"

No. [-] was chatting with the small computer one after another. Hearing Pei Xu's question, he replied casually: "Administrator? It's too early to think about this. Hansu's basic structure has not been fully established, and the response system It's just the most elementary..."

Before he finished speaking, the small computer that eavesdropped on the conversation between the two suddenly typed in the output box: "I want you to be my administrator."

Number two caught a glimpse of this sentence, and was immediately diverted: "I'll talk about it when the time comes, don't worry, you see you are still so young."

The little computer slowly responded to him: "I am not young anymore, I will grow up."

Pei Xu looked at the scene in front of him silently. Number two chatted with the little computer for a while, only to belatedly realize that the weird guy who looked like him hadn't spoken for a long time.

He turned to look at Pei Xu, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Pei Xu raised his eyes and scanned the surrounding scene. The scene here is very detailed, even the small parts dropped by the feet of the scientific researcher are clearly visible, and the outside—or even the inside of the spider web seems to be mostly real but rough. The map is completely different. The internal scene of this laboratory that existed more than 1000 years ago is well-built and carefully built.

It's as if the builders of the spider web map are very familiar with this laboratory.

And this npc is not right, Pei Xu's eyes fell on the face of No. [-] with a puzzled expression. At least Pei Xu had been in the spider's web before, and he had never seen an npc with such a strong ability to respond autonomously as No. [-].

Pei Xu thought for a few seconds, and said to No. [-], "What's your name?"

The author has something to say: Pei Xu: I lemon myself, I am jealous of myself, I am green myself
