Turing test

At 5:80 in the afternoon, Yu Shaoqing came to Xidi Park.It was the weekend, and there were still many tourists in the evening. A group of aunts who were dancing in the square gathered in the small square in the middle of the park. Pop songs from the [-]s of the last century were playing from the loudspeakers, resounding through the sky.

Someone is following him, and the technology is not very good.Yu Shaoqing found that there was a man and a woman following him all the time. Whenever he turned his head, the two would pretend to be a couple in love. Unfortunately, their acting skills were really worrying.

Xidi Park is very close to H City University of Science and Technology, so it has naturally become a holy place for students to fall in love.Yu Shaoqing and Wei Heng often dated here when they were students.

The park is built like a European garden, with a hedge maze in the center.For fear of tourists getting lost, there are maps at every corner of the maze.Of course, it didn't exist when it was first completed, but after several incidents of children getting lost, the park learned to behave.These days, only bear children and bear parents cannot afford to offend.

The staff at the entrance of the maze shouted with a loudspeaker: "Children, please enter with their parents!" Yu Shaoqing pretended not to see the "couple" whispering behind them, and walked into the hedge maze.

The layout of this maze has not changed since it was built. Yu Shaoqing has walked through it many times, and the route is clear. Which road leads to the exit and which road is a dead end. He knows it by heart, not to mention the map on the road. .

The "couple" followed him into the maze.Yu Shaoqing didn't rush to the exit, but pretended to be here for the first time, turned around in the maze, and walked back to the original path several times.The space in the labyrinth is limited, and those who follow him are afraid of being discovered by him, and dare not get too close, so they are thrown away by him for a long distance.

But Yu Shaoqing's goal is not to "get out of the maze".

He entered a fork in the road, which, from the map, was a dead end, and he would end up with nowhere to go.But Yu Shaoqing knew a secret: between the two trees at the end of the dead end, there was a small gap just enough for an adult to slip through. There were branches, leaves and grass on both sides of the gap, so you couldn't find it unless you looked carefully.

After passing through this gap, you leave the maze, and outside is the artificial lake in Westland Park.The secret of the gap was discovered by him and Wei Heng together.In the past, he and Wei Heng often walked hand in hand by the lake.They called a stone by the lake "the old place" and they often met there.

Yu Shaoqing walked into the dead end, lay down on the ground and explored, but the gap was still there, and it hadn't been filled in all these years.He pushed aside the grass, got into the gap, and crawled out like a mole, for fear that he would be stuck in the middle, which would be embarrassing.

After finally climbing out of the maze, Yu Shaoqing's hair was covered with leaves, and his T-shirt was covered with mud.He clapped his hands on his trousers and walked to the lake.When the two stalking "couples" catch up, they will find that he has disappeared in a dead end.It is estimated that it will take a long time for them to understand the method.

Enough time.

The weather in late summer is still hot, but there is a cool breeze blowing by the lake in the evening, bringing a little chill.Yu Shaoqing folded his arms and quickly ran to the "old place".On the other side of the lake, there are cruise ship cabins, crowded with tourists, while on this side is the rocky beach, which is rarely visited by people.

only one person. There is a man sitting on the stone in the "old place", his legs crossed together, his back straight, like a javelin, his short hair fluttering in the cool breeze, and he raises his hand from time to time to push his bangs back.

"Wei Heng." Yu Shaoqing called out.

Wei Heng froze for a few seconds, then slowly got up and turned around.

He was still the same, calm and gentle, just like every time they held hands and walked by the lake.If it weren't for the exhaustion on his face, it would be impossible to tell that he had been hiding and sleeping in the open for two or three days.

"You really came." Yu Shaoqing couldn't help grinning, "Did you see the message I left you?"

Wei Heng nodded. "I wrote a program myself, which can connect to your pinhole camera at any time. If I don't see you for a day, I won't be at ease. You must think I'm abnormal."

"It's a bit perverted. But thankfully you installed a camera, otherwise we wouldn't be able to meet."

Yu Shaoqing ran towards him.Wei Heng took a step back and raised his hand to signal him not to approach.

"Didn't Mr. Qin Kang tell you? I'm not human. You'd better stay away from me, it might be dangerous..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Shaoqing tightened his collar tightly.

"I'm going to get angry if you say that again!" Yu Shaoqing rarely got angry at him, "I don't care about that at all! Who do you think I am!"

Wei Heng hesitated to speak, and turned his head to look at the sparkling lake.

It took him a long time before he spoke: "We still don't want to meet each other, maybe you will be accused of 'collaborating with the enemy and defecting to the ball'."

Yu Shaoqing smiled "puchi": "You are still in the mood to joke, which means you are in a good situation."

"I'm serious." Wei Heng was infected by him, and also laughed, but the smile disappeared in deep worry, "Science proves that I am not human, and you will get into trouble sooner or later when you meet me..."

"I've said it all, I don't care! Who do I meet and who am I with? It's someone else's turn to take care of it?" Yu Shaoqing raised his voice, "What do you think? Do you consider yourself a human being?"

"I..." Wei Heng hesitated, "I always thought I was a human being. My memory is very coherent, nothing special, and the people around me have the same perception of me, but..."

"Then there's no 'but'! I don't care what anyone says, but you are the 'person' to me!"

Wei Heng's pupils dilated slightly, as if he was hit by something in an instant, and felt endless suffocation.

"I have known you for so many years, I know you better than anyone else, you are Wei Heng, nothing else, you are a human being."

The setting sun slowly sank to the horizon, the sky and the lake were stained with a layer of dazzling gold, and the undulating waves reflected the sunset in all directions, as if an inextinguishable flame was ignited on the water.

"What is the definition of 'human', and who can define 'human'? Can a robot butler marry his beloved girl? Can a bionic man dream of an electric sheep? What if humans meet alien creatures with the same intelligence? ? What if humans create artificial life with the same emotions? What if humans lose their physical form in the future and live in a completely different form? Are they 'humans'?"

The afterglow sprinkled on the profiles of the two of them, making them half illuminated by twilight and half covered by night. A long shadow was cast on the rugged rocky beach. There was a scream from the direction of the hedge maze, and a head came out, and then It's another one—the two people watching have discovered the secret of the gap.

"I don't care what others think of you, but I think you are 'human', we are equal, no one is higher than anyone else, no one is lower than anyone else. You have human thoughts and emotions, and you think you are people, then you are people."

The two stalkers took out their guns from under their coats, pointed at Yu Shaoqing and Wei Heng, and yelled at them not to resist, but raised their hands to surrender, probably really regarded them as dangerous elements.

But Yu Shaoqing didn't even look at them.He only has Wei Heng in his eyes.

"Thank you." Wei Heng said.

The flames on the lake died away, and the last rays of the setting sun were swallowed by the horizon.

There are dots of stars flashing in the night sky. Although many stars are covered by the light of the city that never sleeps, the brightest ones can still be observed with the naked eye.

Alpha Lyrae in the west, Vega.Alpha Aquila in the east, Altair.Alpha Cygnus in the southeast, Tianjin IV.Bright summer triangle.

The constant north α Ursa Minor, the North Star, has been a sign for human beings to recognize the direction at night for thousands of years.

The Big Dipper, which guides the North Star, is facing the one of the North Star, that is, Ursa Major α, which was called Tanlang in ancient times, and also called Tianshu.The super artificial intelligence Tianshu is named after it.

It is about 124 light-years away from the earth and has an apparent magnitude of 1.79. Even in a city full of neon lights, it is easy to observe.

Yu Shaoqing bathed in Zhou Tian's starlight, and looked at Wei Heng.

Then--

— The world stopped turning.
