That night, both Li Yan and Chen Xiaonian felt a little reluctant to leave like this.

Even Lu Xingshen didn't really want to sleep.

Everyone is a night owl. Lu Xingshen and Li Yan are used to staying up late and working overtime. Chen Xiaonian has been running around for the past few months and has already lost his normal routine. The only good boy who goes to bed early and gets up early is Xia Ge.

So, the adults (?) unitedly coaxed Xia Ge to go to bed early and continue to be a healthy bionic person.

I haven't seen her for a long time, but Xia Ge's room has become more and more like a cozy bedroom.

The curtains in front of the window are divided into two layers, one is light-transmitting tulle, and the other is thick curtains that block light. When all are drawn, the fluorescent pattern on the carpet emits a little bit of starlight, like a pattern of some constellation.

The bed is thick and soft. Not only does it look very comfortable, but it can also fully bear the weight of a bionic person. The white bear patterned quilt covers the body, revealing only a round metal head with closed eyes, but in the near future, it will become a more Looks like a human.

The closet next to it was tightly closed, and there were several photos posted on it, including the garden and the scenery. On the bedside table was a photo of Xia Ge and Lu Xingshen. A set of tables and chairs, a small bookshelf on the table, filled with various gadgets.

Lu Xingshen stood by the bed, looked at him a few more times after he fell asleep, then bent down and approached the sleeping man.

Before anything happened, Dr. Li rushed back at a sudden speed and grabbed him.

Lu Xingshen gently placed something in his pocket on the bedside table, then turned to look at Li Yan.

Lu Xingshen:?

Li Yan: "Ahem...it's nothing, I misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding what?"

Of course it was a misunderstanding that you wanted a goodnight kiss.

Li Yan didn't dare to say anything, so he let out a haha ​​and went out.

The meeting with Xia Ge was over, and the three of them still had other matters that needed to be handed over and confirmed. They didn't intend to sleep for a while, so they sat down in the most spacious place in the research institute, suitable for receiving guests.

Before starting the topic, Li Yan was still hesitant to speak.

Jing finally couldn't help asking, "Academician Lu, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Chen Xiaonian also had something to talk about, but seeing Dr. Li's more serious and urgent look, he temporarily suppressed it.

Lu Xingshen: "Say."

Li Yan: "You know that Xiao Xia is a bionic person with autonomous consciousness, right? I mean, you know that if you don't look at the material level, just look at his consciousness and spiritual level, he is already a person."

Lu Xingshen glanced at him with 'nonsense' eyes.

Not only him, but also Li Yan was told about this matter by him very early on.

Li Yan cleared his throat and continued, "Actually, I have a few books that I would recommend you to read..."

Lu Xingshen: "...?"

Thinking of the books that had been recommended, Lu Xingshen became more murderous.

Li Yan, who had a strong desire to survive, quickly changed the subject, "But it's okay not to look at it, after all, you have a very knowledgeable person like me by your side, right, ahahaha..."

Chen Xiaonian also had doubts in his eyes, wondering what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd.

In front of the three of them, a pot of coffee had already been ground. Lu Xingshen leaned forward and slowly poured out three cups.

"Oh."

"When Xiaoxia was only UR996, until now, although the main star time has passed about five months, but for him, the time has actually only passed more than two months,"

Li Yan gradually got to the point, "I've read a lot of studies in this area—of course not those on the surface—but they all point to the same conclusion, that is, the speed of mental growth of bionics is different from that of humans. .”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaonian also sat up slightly, which was something he had been worried about before.

"For human young children, the growth rate of mind is limited by the speed of physical development, so they live for a few years until they are six years old, they are just children, but bionics are different. From that moment on, it is already equivalent to the mind of a child."

Li Yan slowly talked about the theories he had learned, and the topic slowly turned back to Xiao Xia, "Although Xiao Xia has only existed for a few months, judging from his performance characteristics, information reserves, and degree of awakening, his mind is His growth rate is far beyond the genius level of other awakened bionics."

No one doesn't like to hear their children being praised.

In this regard, Lu Xingshen and Chen Xiaonian felt almost similar, and they both listened.

But soon, Li Yan paused again, "However, even so... Judging from the normal growth rate, the current Xiao Xia, logically speaking, only has the mind of a human child, about 10 years old. , That is to say, you can already distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, and have a certain degree of empathy, about this level...Of course, for the specifics, you may have to go through a more accurate test to get the result, but I don’t think it will be better than 10 Too old..."

Lu Xingshen: "..."

Chen Xiaonian: "...?"

Really?Why does he feel that something is not right?

Li Yan sighed, patted him on the shoulder earnestly, and said sincerely, "So, respected Comrade Academician Lu, he is just a child."

Hearing his voice-over, Chen Xiaonian suddenly shrank his pupils, turned his head to look at Lu Xingshen, and the alarm bell rang.

Something must have happened that he didn't know about!

I thought that if I just gave up on Lin Yuyin like this, Academician Lu should not be so in love with the brain, or not so heartless, but Li Yan, what does this mean? !

Li Yan sighed again, "Besides, there is something I wanted to say a long time ago."

Lu Xingshen was holding the coffee cup with his right hand, and the cup was hanging steadily in the air, because his hand was steady enough, there was not even a slight ripple.

Until Li Yan said the following words.

"For Xiaoxia, you are not only his creator, but also the person who gave him life. You are the first person he saw when he came to this world. There will be some fledgling plots for you, and for the awakened bionics. It's reasonable to say, but have you ever thought about it?"

Li Yan approached him and advised him friendly as a good friend, "For him, your role may be equivalent to a father. In other words, he should regard you as a father."

Lu Xingshen said that he looked very calm, but the coffee in his hand had unstoppable ripples at this moment.

Chen Xiaonian finally couldn't bear it any longer. Not only did he sit upright, but he also leaned forward eagerly, leaning on the edge of the table with one hand, looking nervously at Dr. Li,

"Doctor Li, what do you mean by this? What happened to Xiao Xia? Or did someone do something to him? Tell me clearly—"

"Oh, don't be nervous, classmate Xiao Chen,"

Faced with other people's doubts, Li Yan's tone became unusually relaxed, and he waved his hands nonchalantly,

"I haven't had time to do anything yet. There is nothing. It looks like Academician Lu has finally given Xiao Xia a complete ass."

"Bang!"

There was a sudden sound, the chair was suddenly moved, someone stood up suddenly, and the sound of knees hitting the table.

Chen Xiaonian didn't feel any pain.

"How did you know……"

Li Yan laughed, "Isn't this obvious? You didn't see it. I thought you liked Xiao Xia so much. When we reunited, I would scan him from head to toe to see if there was anything wrong with him. .”

Lu Xingshen's voice drifted over coldly from the side at this moment, "Did you read it?"

The smile on Li Yan's face froze, "Uh..."

Suddenly being asked such a question, Chen Xiaonian's eyes gradually became cold and sharp, full of questioning from the soul, "Look...?"

"This one……"

The back of Li Yan's head was dripping with cold sweat, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't wash himself off even if he jumped into the Yellow River, "No, I'm really not as wretched as you imagined, I didn't do anything!"

With a clatter, Lu Xingshen put the coffee cup back on the table.

It was obviously just a small movement, but the air-conditioning attacked Li Yan from both sides.

"Okay, okay...I admit it, I just noticed that the shape of the cushion that Xiaoxia sat on is different from before...I really didn't do anything to him directly! Am I that kind of person? Definitely not Ah, how can I have any worldly desires for a bionic person whose appearance is huge but whose mind is still a child and who is full of family-like trust in himself!"

Lu Xingshen: "..."

Chen Xiaonian looked at him, then at Academician Lu next to him, but he couldn't see anything after all.

But he still sat back silently. Since this kind of thing just happened, it seems...well, there is nothing to make a fuss about.

Just looking at it this way, it is indeed more dangerous for Xiao Xia to be in the same room with Academician Lu all day long.

"I've heard Xiaoxia say before that he said that he has no butt, which means he has no gender. Although it's cool, he still wants to have his own... So he should be really happy with this."

Chen Xiaonian first said a few words for Lu Xingshen, expressing his own understanding, and then said,

"Of course, as long as you don't install some redundant and unnecessary things while he doesn't understand anything, I think it's fine."

"Why, you want to check it yourself?"

Lu Xingshen finally said a few more words in a rare way, as if he was really in a bad mood.

"I'm not a pervert."

Chen Xiaonian frowned.

Dr. Li who wanted to check was also silent.

Is this abnormal?Then he should keep silent.

Originally, it was because Lu Xingshen looked at Xiao Xia in the wrong way that he brought up this topic. Now Li Yan had to reconsider how many people looked at Xiao Xia in the wrong way.

In short, let's rule out one wrong option first, which is himself.

The topic of butt and mind was temporarily put aside, Chen Xiaonian drank two sips of coffee, calmed down, and brought up the serious matter he wanted to talk about.

"Academician Lu, have you paid attention to my recent proposals?"

Lu Xingshen knew what he wanted to say, thought about it for a moment, nodded, "very thoughtful."

Chen Xiaonian briefly talked about his future goals and plans, "I didn't intend to win you over with Dr. Li, or ask you to stand in line for Xiaoxia and help me, but I was just worried that there would be too many rumors outside, which would make you three You misunderstood my intentions."

Li Yan always spoke in a relatively relaxed style. Seeing that he was so serious, he smiled and comforted him, "It's not that serious. Although classmate Chen is young, he is courageous and smart. I always think it's amazing."

"If the final plan can be successful, I think that by then, Xiao Xia will be able to walk in the crowd openly."

This is the most ideal result.

But Chen Xiaonian still said with some reservations, "It is not so easy to revise or even abolish the regulations related to contraband, but I will do my best."

Finally, Lu Xingshen spoke slowly,

"Most of the people who can influence the outcome of the proposal are actually silent and neutral. Instead of fighting against those who threaten the threat of bionic intelligence and trying to persuade them, it is better to win the support of these neutral people."

Chen Xiaonian looked over with bright and sharp eyes.

Lu Xingshen: "Actually, there is another person who has great influence in this regard. With her support, everything will go much smoother."

Chen Xiaonian was shocked immediately, "Thank you, Academician Lu."

"I haven't promised to help you connect yet."

Lu Xingshen cast his calm eyes slowly, with a scrutiny of pure rationality, "In my opinion, your attitude is still very dangerous, that gentleman is very accurate in seeing people, even if you have my introduction, you may not be easy. Convinced by you."

Chen Xiaonian calmed down a bit, but still nodded, "I will work hard, thank you very much."

"In this case, let's visit Academician Qi next door with Xiaoxia tomorrow. She doesn't care much about the outside world now, but her students should be able to talk."
