It's too late to marry a cat [Interstellar]

"Is the outside temperature too low for you?" An irrigation gun looked like a gopher suddenly poking its head out of the nearby bushes, with a handful of snow and an evergreen bush on top of it. Green Leaf, Baili attached to this irrigation gun and talked to Li Dandan, "Would you consider going back indoors, I can prepare the equipment for the exercise room in advance."

Li Dandan couldn't help shaking his head when he sneezed. The frequency of his neck shaking in one second was enough to shake the afterimage. After that, the nose is cleared, and the person is dizzy, maybe the cervical spine is also finished.

"No, not too low." Luckily, Li Dandan, who was a cat, said, and declined the kindness of the electronic housekeeper.

It's not cold, it's not dizzy, and its neck is fine. When it looked up after a sudden sneeze, it saw the irrigation gun in the shape of a green top: "..."

Although a touch of green dotted on the white snow is still beautiful, there is a sense of vitality wrapped in plainness, but after thinking about it, Li Dandan feels that Baili is attached to the irrigation gun, the top end of this irrigation gun It is about equal to the top of Baili's head.

Out of a cognitive psychology that "it is best not to have green on the head of the subject with an emotional module", it still stretched out its claws and picked the green leaves on the irrigation gun.

"Thank you." Baili shook the irrigation gun attached to him, which was a different kind of nod, and the AI ​​who knew a lot said, "You are really considerate."

Yahuiquan has a family puzzle that has not yet been solved, that is, why his AI and the cat are of different species and languages, and even one of them is at least a carbon-based life form, while the other is directly an inorganic program. However, Baili and Li When Dandan talked, it turned out to be more accessible than a living person like him and a cat.

"You are such a miraculous cat." Baili continued to chat with Li Dandan on the irrigation gun, "I have checked a lot of information and found that even if you live with people for more than ten years, you have a lot of rich companionship. Most of the cats that meet the broad standard of 'humanity' are not as good as you, and your intelligence and understanding of language can be called one in a million."

The outdoor exercise was interrupted by two sneezes. Li Dandan took another look at the irrigation gun attached to Baili, and turned over the bushes in front of him to make sure that the irrigation gun was fixed on the base and there was no room to move it, so it retracted its front paws , sat down and chatted with Baili: "Meow——"

This is because……

Li Dandan had an abrupt pause, and Baili, through algorithm analysis, naturally continued for the cat: "Because you are a genius?"

"Well."

The cat let out a small purr, as if Li Dandan was hesitating to say something.

"Genius" - this is the answer that Li Dandan would have given without hesitation in the past.

It admits that it is blindly confident, and most of the time, it is also very confident.

But recently, I can't tell the reason, occasionally, Li Dandan suddenly feels a sense of disobedience, making him vaguely feel that there is something wrong with his life, and even his excessive intelligence and superior thinking ability seem to be Nor should it be explained with a simple "I am a genius".

It's just that the sense of disobedience is often fleeting, and it is difficult to capture it with the agility of a cat.

It's like the tip of a cat's tail that often bends as it pleases. When the cat doesn't turn its head, it can feel that the tail is hanging there. The tip of the tail is swaying blindly every now and then, but when it really turns its head to catch it, it is easy to fall into it. The predicament turned into a very mindless circle in circles.

"Because..." Li Dandan pondered for a while, then propped himself up from the snow pit where he sat, shook the scattered snow on his paws, and said solemnly, "I may be a rather special genius."

The "tip of the tail" is difficult to catch, but it doesn't matter, Li Dandan struggled for a moment and then he was very open.

Cats are natural hunters, and patience is essential to becoming a good hunter.

Li Dandan is quite confident in his patience, he thinks that he will catch the "tip of the tail" sooner or later, and he just lacks a little chance at the moment.

But it will wait.

Baili analyzed the cat's tone and past behavior patterns, and drew a conclusion. He quickly agreed: "You are right, I will add the exclusive impression word 'special' for you."

The electronic butler agreed, and the irrigation gun shook as if nodding. On the other hand, a translucent floating screen was projected in front of Li Dandan's eyes.

The screen was just for display, allowing Li Dandan to witness how its "exclusive impression lexicon" interface was modified. When Baili added "special" words to the page, the operation was very slow, in order to prevent In case the AI ​​interpreted the cat language wrong just now, Li Dandan can give a reminder at any time to correct the error in information transmission between them.

It is in this way that Li Dandan and Baili have developed a set of "cat-computer interaction language", and the cat and AI have a tacit understanding of communication that surpasses cats and humans.

"Okay." Baili said after changing the information, "You can check it out."

The information was changed by himself. Of course, Li Dandan didn't think there was anything else to check.

However, the cat still stretched out its claws towards the screen—it directly pressed the meat pad on the page switching button in the corner, watching the screen instantly switch to another information column that Baili built himself.

"Are you interested in the young master's impression lexicon?" Baili asked immediately, his voice vividly filled with joy and surprise.

This is not the first time Li Dandan has seen Baili call up the information bar, but it is also strange. When Li Dandan saw this interface in the past, it would only focus on what the AI ​​wanted it to see. Interpretation skills are limited.

I saw this interface again today, just like a cat’s thinking ability grows with its weight. Li Dandan suddenly learned a wider range of information collection and report overview without a teacher, and finally noticed that this screen can also turn pages .

Even before turning the page, it could have guessed that the information column at the back belonged to another important member of the family—about Yahuiquan.

Li Dandan had already turned the page without thinking, and a curiosity as high as a big wave was rushing out of her heart, but for a moment, the thought system that was closer to humans was operating, making the cat try hard to compete with the curiosity, and did not immediately start to go down. Look, it says, "Can I see?"

While Li Dandan consulted Baili, he suddenly felt that he was "living back". After all, as a cat, it was confident before touching porcelain, entering the house openly, or sleeping on someone's bed. Do it with ease, and never worry about "can I" or "can I" and other questions.

It is a cat!

Who can resist a cat that approaches actively!

However, only when a cat suddenly becomes uncertain about its identity, and has some doubts in its heart, can it continue to exercise its special rights calmly.

Baili can only interpret cat language, and has not yet evolved to the level of mind reading. The AI ​​​​has not analyzed that the cat in front of him is full of complex emotions. He only answers happily for consultation: "Of course!"

The electronic steward also said: "I have shown you this interface many times in the past, but you have never asked the young master's impression dictionary, I thought it was because you were not interested in it - please feel free to browse, as your legal spouse Identity, there is no information that needs to be kept confidential from you."

Li Dandan got a correct sentence, Baili is like a parent who holds a huge amount of children's growth diaries and photo albums, but has nowhere to display them for a long time, and can't wait to share their treasured materials with cats.

"Do you have a preferred section?" The AI ​​who was eager to "sell" the owner's information asked again.

Unlike Li Dandan who just came to this house not long ago, Baili's impression of Yahuiquan in the lexicon can be traced back to the embryonic stage of Yahuiquan. The items recorded in the lexicon are as high as four digits, covering The directions are very comprehensive, and Baili also classified them in various ways.

Li Dandan didn't make a sound at first, the cat seemed to be looking at the screen seriously, and was already attracted by a certain entry sorted by storage time. After a while, until it tilted its head slightly, Baili thought " The cat owner" should have come to his senses.

The AI ​​asked softly: "Do you want to see this 'unspeakable regret'?"

"Unspeakable Regret"—following the cat's horizontal line of sight just now, its eyes are falling on this line on the screen.

As if to show regret from the color, the small area was painted a thick gray, but the text was red. At first glance, it looked like a fire was burning on a cloud of lead gray smoke.

Baili clicked on the entry from the background, and the details on the homepage were displayed only in thumbnails. In this eye-catching entry, unexpectedly, no text was edited, only a picture was added.

It was a damaged ecological cabin, used by the military, and half of the code that had been melted could be seen, with traces of uncleaned fire licking remaining on it.

"This is extracted from the official database of the Military Commission. It is the most original appearance of this ecological cabin when it was successfully salvaged." Baili kept a very light voice, explaining to the cat who continued to look at this picture, "It is now Stored in the "Peace Memorial Museum", it has been carefully cleaned up, and the important relics of heroes as the "Core of Natural Disasters" have been preserved. The Memorial Museum is open to citizens of both the Star Alliance and the Extraterritorial United — the young master is this ecological cabin salvaging people."

Li Dandan has not made a sound, since the cat tilted its head, it seemed to be frozen there, completely motionless.

All military eco-chambers are matched with the corresponding military vehicles, and they have the same serial number as the carrying vehicles.

The middle and end of the serial number will be compiled according to information such as the defense factor of the ecological cabin, the specification level, and whether other additional functions are provided.

The attributing party details are also included within the code.

Li Dandan could see that the eco-chamber did not belong to the Star Alliance, and the coding adopted the customary opening form of the foreign coalition forces.

But... the people from his family went to salvage it?

The cat continued to stare at the picture, and it also found that not only did it recognize the code on the eco-pod, but the eco-pod itself was also familiar to it.

"Thank you for salvaging the captain's ecological cabin." Wu Shansha said this to Yahuiquan unexpectedly.

At this time, the "free and friendly exchange" is coming to an end. Since the leaders of the two sides have successfully held a peaceful talk, this will be the time for the members of the two delegations to try to contact each other.

The background of the environment was a bit noisy, and Yahuiquan's first reaction was a meal.

Usansa gave him a deep look: "When we met in the conference building last time, I said that the special forces have a grudge against you, which is true, but at the same time, we must also admit that we owe you for the eco-cabin. A thank you, if you hadn't salvaged it, then the captain would really have nothing left."

Ms. Leo has a straightforward character, and she dares to confess her true inner thoughts.

Yahuiquan seemed to have just recovered from a moment of astonishment, he pursed his lower lip calmly, and before he made any response, Usansa said again: "Under the condition of choosing one or the other, people will always have a bias. Sexuality, one will inevitably hope that the 'one' is on one's side - we all hoped that the one who sent back the safety signal was the captain, but unfortunately not, the formal peace agreement between the alliance and the Covenant has not yet been signed in the extraterritorial, and at that time In the state of truce and cooperation, I would like to tell you frankly, General Ya, the situation at that time was really hard not to make people think too much, and it is even more difficult to ask those who have been with the captain for a long time to look at the problem without emotion .”

"Understandable." In the end, Ya Huiquan only said the same thing as last time.

He didn't mind the grudge, "understandable" was also true, not just empty talk.

Being in a different place, he guessed that Wings of Glory's opinion should be similar to that of the special forces at the moment.

At the last moment when the "natural disaster" process was stopped and the host went deep into the core to shut down the host, only Ya Huiquan and Wo Xiu could reach there. The energy released when the host was detonated was enough to destroy half of the planet's core, and the shock wave could sweep almost all the way to outside the atmosphere.

And there is a very strict condition for "detonating the host" - it must be in the activated state to detonate, otherwise, what will be destroyed is only a layer of its shell, and it can play a golden cicada to escape the shell.

Yahuiquan was able to be the one who finally sent back the safety signal because Woxiu took the lead when deciding who would be the "primer" to activate the detonation device from inside.

Under short-distance racing, Woxiu maximized the high mobility of the special forces mecha. He was one step ahead of Yahuiquan and firmly grasped the entrance to the interior. Before entering, there was only communication between the two of them. Laughed in the channel: "Anyway, you usually say that I am thick-skinned, let me say it again today, when did you beat me in the matter of speed?"

Wo Xiu laughed so hard that his lungs almost exploded.

He thought: "What time is this? Why is this man still laughing? Why doesn't he get out of the front passageway?"

Wo Xiu not only laughed, but also muttered to himself after laughing: "That's not right, how can a man try to emphasize that he is fast."

"Make way!" Ya Huiquan said.

Wo Xiu—and the opponent's body answered him simply by turning around: "No."

And Wo Xiu not only answered "no" from the two levels of language and behavior, but after his body quickly disappeared at the entrance of the passage, Ya Huiquan realized that there was an extra layer of superimposed protective cover on his mecha.

"You know..." Ya Huiquan clenched his teeth unconsciously.

"Going in is basically taking a dead card, I know, so the remaining energy is a waste, I will add a safety net for you." Wo Xiu's body has disappeared at the entrance of the passage, only the communication signal is still there intermittently Continuing, his voice also began to appear blurred in the mecha audio transceiver, and he said: "With an extra layer of security, the card left for you may not necessarily be a raw card, but it is more likely than the one in my hand." Still bigger."

Yahuiquan: "Who needs you left? I begged from you?"

"How did you manage to curse so powerfully even when you were injured... Hey, no, count me as an idiot, this is obviously your fixed skill." Wo Xiu's voice continued to become blurred, but vaguely It can be discerned that at this juncture, this person still looks like the whole universe can't hold back his smile.

He is still laughing: "I will have one last discussion with you. If you can go out, this time you can experience something different from your previous life, okay? So that others will not ask you what you would do without war—maybe At that time, there is no need to add the qualifier 'if', but you still answer that you don't know, it's too miserable."

This person claimed that what he left to Yahuiquan was not simply a birth card, but he thought that the general Yashang had reached this age. According to the lifespan of people on the ancient earth, he was considered "over half a hundred years old". What do you like? What are your hobbies, what are you interested in, why you have been tempted... None of the above.

General Ya just ended his life in such a hurry, and his life was too boring.

Wo Xiu is really outspoken, he said that what he left to Yahuiquan is still a chance to experience life.

In addition to "personal heroism", it may be one of Captain Woxiu's life creeds to wait until the last second of his life.

"Goodbye."

Wo Xiu said these two words at the end of a long babble, and they followed the previous words very closely, and they merged very naturally, as if the man would start again and continue to say the same thing. long string.

At that time, the communication signal was only connected by a thread, as thin as a spider's thread, and the signal transmission speed was very slow.

When the words of farewell fell into Ya Huiquan's ears, he already felt the tremors in the surrounding space, and the mecha's alarm sounded for a long time because of the high-energy reflection.

So he realized that when he heard the farewell, the person who said the farewell should actually be gone.

While Yahuiquan was still listening to a long speech sent back by the delayed signal, Woxiu had already synchronized the activation program and the detonating device internally.

He stayed in the most dangerous high-heat area for an extra 5 minutes, and salvaged a damaged ecological cabin that floated out of the passage.

Did a little useless work.

This useless evidence was later downloaded from the Military Commission's database by him, and then put into the personal impression dictionary by his good electronic housekeeper.

—and was accidentally seen by his cat, reflected in the blue iris of the cat staring at the entry.
