Human on a Chip Project

"The chip management association is still there." Chen Xuan didn't know that the people around him were going through a profound reflection on life philosophy, and continued to say with feelings for him.

"Really?" Nan Yiming turned to look at him in surprise.

"But it's called the 'Chip Administration', and all the chips in the world are under their control."

"What do you care?" Nan Yiming frowned, no matter how he looked at it.

"After a person dies, if the chip needs to be taken out and recycled, it has to go through the Chip Management Bureau—oh yes, it is illegal to buy and sell chips without permission, and this is the rule of the Chip Management Bureau. They do inspection and repair of the chip, restore the factory settings, and re-record. Wait for the installation After reaching the baby, you have to register. They also issue upgrades, maintenance and other official codes. Oh, yes, every country has a special security agency. Whichever regime comes to power, the one that cannot be moved is the Secret Service.”

The uneasiness between Nan Yiming's brows deepened.In this world where abilities mean everything, the organization that controls the chip is almost like a god.

"What is the restriction on this core management bureau?"

"There are no restrictions." Chen Xuan thought his question was funny, "And the whole organization is very low-key, even if there are restrictions, I don't know. You haven't even heard of their names, have you?"

"How do they work? Who are the leaders?"

Chen Xuan spread her hands - still don't know.

Nan Yiming sighed, this is like household cleaners, skin care products, paper towels, diapers, snacks and so on. Things that you see every day and are used to, may be produced by the same company.Although closely related to life, you have no idea about their inner thoughts.It’s okay to be fine, but if someone does something, whether you know it or not, or agree with it or not, your daily life will have to change accordingly.

"Why is no one challenging their authority?"

This idea was very novel to Chen Xuan. He thought for a while and said, "Probably because it has always been like this, and it is unnecessary. And they have the complete code in their hands, so no one dares?"

Once you know the code, you know all the secrets and weaknesses of the chip, and maybe some have been specially added so that if there is resistance, it can be oppressed at any time.It seems that there is really no way.

"Is the Secret Service a tool for them to check for gaps?"

"If you count super powers as lacks and omissions, it's about the same."

"They still have everyone's ability records?" The ability detection and detection errors are also under the control of the Secret Service.

"Yes. Except for those like me and Gina, who are lucky enough to make a fake ability record."

"Why do I think they don't like superpowers?"

"...I guess so." Chen Xuan sounded a little nervous.But when Nan Yiming looked at him sideways, it seemed to be an illusion. "Some people say... Well, they secretly have a special force, full of super powers. So it's not necessarily because they don't like it, maybe they just want to catch themselves and use it."

My God, extreme monopoly, darkness and horror, that is actually the continuation of the association.How did things become like this?

Looking at the former residence in front of him, Nan Yiming recalled the painstaking work of him and other founders, and felt that the reality was terrible and the history was too cruel.

"When did this Chip Authority start?"

"I don't know." The scumbag scratched his head, "But your chairman seems to have lived until more than 30 years ago. Not long before he died, he even held an event to commemorate the [-]th anniversary of his beloved wife's death... Yes, so The identity of the president of the Chip Management Association. When I was learning this, I saw such a great man crying in front of his wife's grave, and I was very impressed. So I guess he changed after you died."

Nan Yiming rubbed his face, he didn't want to see the former residence anymore.

Chen Xuan suddenly pulled him up from the ground, and quickly warned in a low voice: "The teacher is here! Stand up quickly!"

Yes, the hint that the nerves can send out to the people around them is that they are two elementary school students.Now it's their class's turn to go in and visit.

"Should we be at the end of the line?" Nan Yiming muttered as he saw the group of children standing up and standing upright in two rows.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Nan Yiming was used to being a genius baby with excellent character and learning, but now he is falling behind like a naughty kid, and he is very uncomfortable.

Chen Xuan glanced at him, knowing what he was doing, and couldn't help laughing: "What's your rivalry with a bunch of kids who aren't half your height?"

"They said nothing!"

"If you don't stand out and don't stand out, the hint has the greatest success rate. There are so many people around, let's just follow along. Anyway, it's only a few steps, and we'll get rid of them when we go in."

"Don't whisper!" the teacher shouted at them.

The two immediately fell silent, and the child in front of the school stood up straight, put his hands on the trouser line, put his heels together, and separated his toes at a [-]-degree angle, looking ahead at the top of his head.It was funny to peek at each other, pursing their lips so that they were trembling.

The teacher gave them a warning look and hurried to check the tickets.

The class monitor and the teacher counted twice without realizing that there were more people.The ticket inspector also closed his sharp eyes as if he hadn't seen it in a hundred years.

Taking a deep breath, Nan Yiming followed his classmates into the former residence.

What does a happy family look like?In Nan Yiming's eyes, apart from his own, the only ones he has seen since he became an adult are the homes of Professor Xu and Professor Su.Every time he came to S City, he would come here as a guest, and even became good friends with the three adolescent children of this family.

The furnishings in the house were pretty much the same as he remembered.After reading the introduction, I found out that after Professor Su passed away, the children left home to live independently. Professor Xu couldn't stand seeing things and thinking about others, so he sealed up the house and moved to another place by himself.

One wall of the living room is a western-style fireplace filled with family photos.Nan Yiming stopped, his eyes resting on the transparent and warm smile of the former hostess.

What a remarkable woman she was, intelligent and capable, tough yet tender, full of emotions and never easily swayed by them.Only such a woman can support a happy family, right?

I don't know when, the items in this world are automatically repaired, and they are no longer decadent.The smile in the photo has not faded, just like in Nan Yiming's memory, that dark morning a few months ago.Nan Yiming really wanted to reach out to touch the frame of the mirror, but he clenched his fists and stopped.

As for Professor Xu on the other side of the photo, Nan Yiming's mood is very complicated.That person is a role model for him, whether as an elder, a leader in scientific research, or a collaborator.

Academic research is an extremely boring and lonely business, and most of the time you have to wrestle with failure and no clue.To be able to do this well and do well, in addition to intelligence, you must have courage and perseverance that ordinary people rarely have.The most important quality is not to be afraid of all obstacles and pressures, and to have the ability to carry out one's ideals to the end.

Professor Xu is undoubtedly one of the best.

After the advent of the chip, in the midst of complicated ethical discussions, doubts and even condemnations of views from various directions in the whole society, Professor Xu was still able to firmly hold the bottom line, like a mainstay, so that when everyone was overwhelmed and overwhelmed, There is a foothold, where you can take a breath and recognize the direction.

But the facts cannot be questioned by Nan Yiming.Indeed, historical facts may be distorted, and Professor Xu, like him, may be forced to become a kind of propaganda tool.But in any case, at the initial stage when the consequences of installing the chip were not very sure, the chip was allowed to be promoted and used without restriction, invading the political power, which led to the chip revolution, and the extremely fast arrival of the era of chip abilities for all people, so that to today.As the leader of the Human Chip Project, as the founder and first president of the Chip Management Association, Professor Xu is duty-bound.

Nan Yiming looked at the people in the photo again.A forehead full of wisdom, deep eyes, and a face with tough lines.If he is not voluntary, what kind of means are needed to make such a person submit and do whatever he wants in front of him?

For the first time, Nan Yiming felt that he might not know what he was thinking at all, nor what kind of person he was.

Chen Xuan had been standing by the side watching with him, and then interjected: "Have you seen all these photos?"

Except for the family photo on the far right.

"Professor Su died in 2069—five years after you." Chen Xuan flicked the introduction in his hand, "It said that she was delirious for the last two years and stopped seeing people. Can you see any difference? "

can not tell. "Maybe it was taken before the insanity. Didn't the introduction say what caused the insanity?"

"No. You are a doctor. Apart from accidents, wouldn't there be any warning signs?"

"It is entirely possible that there is no aura. Even the symptoms are not clear, and it is impossible to judge."

"I suspect she is actually under house arrest."

Nan Yiming understood what he was talking about, but his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to think.

"Which class are you two in? Why don't you go forward?" The person with the name tag of "Dean of Teaching" on his chest came over. "What's your name? I'm looking for your head teacher."

The former good boy also knew that he could not report his real name at this time.If it is a pseudonym, what is better to make up?

Chen Xuan, who had seen many such situations, grabbed him and ran away, turned into the dining room, and mixed into another class.

They played guerrilla warfare and lingered downstairs for a long time.

Nan Yiming regretted coming here more and more.He still remembers where the sofa in the living room was jumped out of a big hole by the children, don't sit on it; how the tableware on the dining room table feels to the touch; I took out the scattered single earphone; the switch on the wall in the corridor was connected to which light...

But everything is so far away and unreal, behind the fence, behind 300 years of time, whispered: "Who are you?"

Nan Yiming struggled between the two realities, between the trust of his memory and the conspiracy in front of him, gradually unable to bear the heart-piercing pain.

He dragged Chen Xuan, walked into the bathroom with the sign "Non-staff forbidden to enter", and hugged her tightly.

"what happened?"

"...You are real, aren't you?" He buried his head in his lover's chest, tried to calm down for a while, and then asked in a muffled voice.

Chen Xuan understood in her heart, supported his back, sighed and said softly, "I am real. I also know that you are real too. Everything you see and feel is real."

"...But liars say they are good people."

"..." I was speechless.

"What if I suddenly wake up and find that all this is just a dream?"

Then I'm at a big loss, Chen Xuan said inwardly.When you wake up, I will be gone. What kind of bad idea is this?But this nonsense is...

"Oh, why don't you ask a third party?" Chen Xuan moved slightly. "If you let it out and explain it seriously, and you still don't wake up, then I guess you won't wake up, and you'll be drunk and dreamy."

Nan Yiming laughed, raised his head, and was about to kiss her when the bathroom door opened.

The poor intern saw two "primary school students" hiding in the bathroom on the first day of work, behaving strangely.

Then the stronger one dragged him in, bound his hands and feet with a rag, gagged him, and locked him inside.Until he was rescued later, he didn't understand how he was subdued by a child with his bare hands.
