Sign

Lu Jian threw the design documents on K's desk, and yawned lazily by the way.His plan was always clean and neat, coupled with his haste overnight, all his actions were done before Lin Xin could react.

K weighed the stack of documents in his hand, but was not in a hurry to look through them. He just took a sip of tea with a half-smile: "How do you feel?"

Lu Jian yawned again: "Fortunately, it's just that I'm sleepy after not sleeping all night. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to sleep first."

K stared at him: "By the way, where's the little sniper?" [Friday Production]

Lu Jian shook his head: "I haven't had a chance to do it all the time. If you want to bring it back by force, it will be too big." He thought for a while, and then added: "But he has nothing special about him except for his marksmanship. For the future, this information is probably more important.”

K said "hmm": "That's true..." He glanced at the adjutant next to him who seemed to be talking, shook his head slightly, reached out and patted Lu Jian's shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Jian raised his eyebrows: "Just give me two days off."

K smiled and watched him step out of the office door, and then turned his attention to the stack of documents again.

After turning a few pages, his pupils were already a little brighter.

"Lin Xin..." He chewed on the whole name with some intrigue: "I have always wondered why there is such a young major, but now it seems that he is indeed a genius..."

He thought for a while, and threw the information on the table to his adjutant: "What do you think?"

The adjutant, who had been hesitant to speak, finally thought about it: "I always feel that he actually has many opportunities to bring that sniper back..."

K took a sip of tea slowly: "You still don't believe him?"

The adjutant shook his head: "That's not it... We have been tracking the monitor on his body, and all the conversations and actions have not been missed, so this information..." He carefully flipped a few times: "There is absolutely no chance Fake."

K suddenly laughed softly: "Since this is the case, don't you understand why he didn't bring the sniper back?"

The young adjutant seemed to have remembered something, and his face suddenly flushed red.

K took a few steps slowly: "Men will chase their physical instincts. What happened that night was not in any plan. I think Lu Jian is probably a little tempted, but..." He paused for a while: "Lu Jian We can pretend that we don't know about Jian's selfishness, as he said, after all, this information is the most important right now..."

The adjutant quickly saluted: "Yes, I will send it to the research center right away!"

K made a calm and calm gesture: "Information is a very important aspect, and there is also that little sniper..."

The adjutant who was ready to act was slightly taken aback: "What?"

K closed his eyes slightly, and his voice suddenly became a little ambiguous: "Besides the strange marksmanship, don't you think his reaction during sex...is really different from ordinary people?"

When the knock on the door rang, Lu Jian felt that he had just fallen asleep for a few hours.

He looked at the sky outside in a daze, and it was pitch black.

He slammed the door open almost annoyed. Before he could get angry, the soldier outside the door gave a standard military salute, and then succinctly passed on the words: "The headquarters asked you to go."

Lu Jian was a little mad: "K only gave me two days off a few hours ago."

The little guard shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard that a prisoner of war has been captured, and it would be better for you to go there."

Lu Jian's brows twitched unconsciously, and he quickly grabbed his clothes without asking any more questions.

The moment he pushed open the door of the headquarters, Lu Jian was slightly stunned.

He had never seen so many people in this room.Most of the faces were unfamiliar, and there was almost no reaction when they heard his voice entering the door. They just gathered together as if they were discussing something excitedly.

K slowly walked to his side, and raised his chin: "These are experts in our artificial intelligence research and development. The information you brought back shocked them... Before this, they didn't even think about it. Artificial intelligence can form self-judgment and self-awareness, it seems that our combat system will soon be a new situation..."

Lu Jian seemed a little absent-minded: "I'm not good at these things at all, why did you call me here in the middle of the night..."

K smiled lightly: "It has something to do with you. Not long ago, I just captured a prisoner of war, and he probably came to find you..."

Lu Jian frowned: "Who?"

K looked at him and paused every word: "That little sniper..." When he said this, his expression suddenly became a little mysterious: "And according to the opinions of experts, he probably has the same design drawing as this intelligent artificial intelligence. , has something to do with..."

Lu Jian's Adam's apple rolled: "This design is from that major named Lin Xin, he probably doesn't understand."

K shook his head slowly: "I also think he should not understand, because he is not the designer of this blueprint..." He smiled at Lu Jian: "It should be... just a finished product."

When Lin Cheng was carried into the room, he brought a smell of blood into the room.Probably because he was afraid of his too precise shooting, or maybe it was because the combat-type artificial intelligence did not strike hard at all. Lin Cheng, who was thrown to the ground heavily, was covered in blood, and almost had his last breath left.

Lu Jian leaned forward a little, but finally stood still.

On the other hand, the artificial intelligence experts in the room seem to have heard something before, looking at the young prisoner of war panting heavily in front of him, they couldn't help gasping.

Lin Cheng raised his head slowly.Sweat and blood made his entire face filthy.But he still tried his best to raise his neck, as if he was looking for something.Finally, his eyes fell on Lu Jian, and his panting began to intensify.

K quietly stepped back half a step, knowing that the drama in front of him did not require his participation.

Lu Jian's eyes met Lin Cheng's for a long time before he said slowly, "Are you here to find me?"

Lin Chengcheng's throat was also severely injured, and his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly hear clearly. Lu Jian frowned and listened for a long time, but he could barely recognize that he was saying "Captain..." indistinctly.

He was a little impatient, so he simply took a few steps forward and leaned in front of the other party: "What did you say?"

Lin Cheng lay at his feet, his whole body convulsing: "Captain, didn't you say you were going back? Why...why did you lie to Lin Xin..."

Lu Jian seemed to want to laugh: "You came here alone just to ask me this?"

Lin Cheng coughed a few times, his voice choked up: "Captain, Lin Xin is very sad..."

Lu Jian laughed: "Really?"

Lin Cheng continued to cough, he was speechless.

K winked at the person next to him, and a T-shaped alloy steel frame quickly pushed in.

Lu Jian frowned: "What is this for?"

K shrugged: "Check his central system. Some parts of the intelligent artificial intelligence design drawing are not very intuitive. Experts suggest that if there is a finished product, it would be better to compare it directly."

Lu Jian hesitated for a moment: "Here? Now? Here? It's not suitable, is it?"

K watched Lin Cheng's body being erected, and his limbs were fastened to the steel frame, and then he smiled at Lu Jian: "The experts are all here, what's wrong?" He approached Lu Jian, his voice lowered: "Or... are you reluctant?"

Lu Jian glanced at him: "What can I be reluctant to do?"

K smiled and said no more.

Lin Cheng felt that the light in front of him suddenly lit up, so intense that he could barely open his eyes.

Then he felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and soon, the sound became louder and louder, hitting his nerves and making his head ache.He tried to wake himself up.

The strange perception made him realize that the pain this time was different from any previous experience on the battlefield.

He slowly opened his bloody eyes, and then he saw his body and his face on the screen directly in front of him.A group of excited people were pointing around the screen, their consciousness was too chaotic, and he couldn't catch anything at all.

He struggled a little, but found that his body was tightly bound by the steel frame.

He twisted his neck within a limited range, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lu Jian standing aside.

That is, the distance was less than three meters, but the other party looked indifferent, but it seemed that he was separated from him by the whole universe.

He felt a little dazed and could only turn his head back.

Then he saw that the image of his head on the big screen in front of him was being decomposed by the grating bit by bit, and those things that resembled muscles and bones were slowly disappearing, turning into a dotted outline.

A fingernail-sized chip finally became the focus of the entire screen and was finally frozen.

The onlookers sighed in disbelief.

Lin Cheng felt that his body was getting colder.He had seen the blueprint, and he knew that the chip was called Sign, and he even knew that it was the core part of the intelligent artificial intelligence that Lin Xin was researching.

But he never thought that that thing would have anything to do with him, and he couldn't figure out why that thing would appear in his body.

He looked around in a little panic, hoping that this was just a prank specially set up by the other party to destroy him,

But when his eyes brushed past Lu Jian, he clearly read the pity from the other's expression.

He began to shake his head desperately, the frequency was getting faster and faster, as if he wanted to get rid of this unreal dream.

But it didn't work.The sign on the screen is gradually magnified and then magnified, and every tiny part becomes a projection for everyone to see after undergoing regular information transformation.

The long screen of his hometown with a poor taste, flocks of birds, every day and night of training in the TX team, and the rainy days when he practiced shooting desperately in the mud...

All the memories he cherished began to be stripped away little by little.

It turns out that the truth is just strands of crystal fibers that make up Sign.

There is no emotion, no past, no truth, no mutual understanding and dependence.

Lin Xin's smile, Lu Jian's sternness, DC team's warmth... It turned out that none of them belonged to him.

Surrounded by more and more exclamation and admiration, everyone present seems to have been completely convinced by such a perfect design.

Lin Cheng felt as if he had been stripped of his clothes and his internal organs were emptied, leaving only a hollow body, which was being exhibited.

There is no anger or shame.He just feels tired.

K slowly walked up to the most authoritative expert and whispered, "How is it?"

The other party pushed the glasses on the bridge of the nose: "The drawing corresponds exactly to the chip entity of this artificial intelligence Sign, there is no problem."

He paused for a while, then pointed to the screen: "It's just that here, there is a newly generated information capsule on the outside of Sign, which should have nothing to do with the original design, but rather because the intelligent artificial intelligence has self-awareness. formed additionally."

K seemed to be aroused: "Oh? What is that?"

The expert is a little embarrassed: "This information capsule is very tightly protected, similar to the deepest secrets hidden in the hearts of human beings, and general information transformation technology cannot be directly displayed... What's more, this additional information capsule is very important for our combat-type The artificial intelligence upgrade project should have no effect..."

K laughed: "But I'm still curious... Is there anything I can do?"

The expert pondered for a moment: "You can try electric shock." [Friday's production]

All the commotion slowly died down.

All eyes were fixed on the hands manipulating the metal wires, slowly inserting a few thin special metal wires into Lin Cheng's brain.

He had experienced such familiar pain before.

At that time, it was Lin Xin who sealed it with a kiss and suppressed all his tortures.

He seemed to realize something suddenly in this burst of sharp pain.

His body began to struggle violently, and the entire alloy steel frame was pulled and rattled by him. The wrist that was bound was cut due to excessive force, and blood gushed out quickly.But he didn't seem to feel anything at all.

He has nothing left, and he can no longer let the last little secret of himself be taken away.

He frantically avoided the touch of those metal wires, shaking his head desperately.

K's eyes were fixed on the big screen, and he slowly said, "Guess, what is that thing he is desperately trying to protect?"

The adjutant beside him shrugged his shoulders: "How would I know about artificial intelligence?"

K seemed to sigh, and nodded towards the front,

The button that turns on the current is turned on.The severe pain was like a flood, roaring and drowning Lin Cheng's last bit of will.

He couldn't see or hear anything, but his body convulsed slightly, and he lowered his head in a coma.

The encrypted information capsule was finally forcibly analyzed. With the slight noise of the information converter, it changed into an image bit by bit and was projected on the screen.

It was a cave under the light of starlight, and then there were kisses chasing and overlapping with each other.Everyone present was a little embarrassed, K coughed lightly, reached out and closed the display screen.

No one spoke anymore, and the space that had been filled with excitement and surprise instantly became silent.

After a short silence, Lin Cheng's lips moved slightly.

Although it was just a hoarse, low-pitched, dreamlike sentence, everyone present could hear it clearly,

"Captain, I like you..."

A slight, cautious confession, with a little restrained shyness and naive uncertainty,

That was originally a secret that this artificial intelligence hides on Sign's chip fiber, and maybe it will never be revealed for a lifetime.

The preliminary draft of the upgrade draft for combat artificial intelligence was completed within four hours in the second half of the night.

The core leadership of the field command and all the experts involved in the research and development of artificial intelligence are sitting around the round table, nervously making final revisions to the implementation of the plan.

K's speed at work has always been astonishingly efficient.

Lu Jian smoked a few cigarettes in the corner of the headquarters, finally threw away the empty cigarette case, and walked slowly in front of K.

"It's nothing to do with me, is it?"

The other party nodded: "You can go back and rest." He pondered for a while: "But if you are willing to stay, I think everyone will be happy to hear your opinion."

Lu Jian shrugged his shoulders: "I don't understand these technical things at all."

The adjutant next to K suddenly sneered, and lowered his voice to Lu Jian's ear: "It's okay if you don't understand, at least you know better than those experts how the body of an artificial intelligence is different from that of ordinary people during sex..."

The corner of Lu Jian's mouth twitched, as if he was also laughing lazily.But the sudden burst of light when the eyes were narrowed made the other party take half a step back unconsciously, and the smile became a little stiff, as if someone had punched him hard.

Lu Jian no longer looked at him, but just stared at K: "I'm leaving."

The other party nodded: "Okay. And the two days of vacation I gave you before, it's still the same."

Lu Jian coughed: "By the way, I want to take him away."

K glanced sideways at Lin Cheng who was still clasped on the T-shaped alloy frame with a blank expression: "Is it your application to the military department?"

Lu Jian understated: "It's just a personal opinion, if it doesn't work, forget it..."

K thought for a while: "Since you have spoken, there is no problem." He paused: "But... not now, the expert team still needs to scan the Sign in his brain, wait a few days... after the scan is completed I'll send it over."

Lu Jian gave a noncommittal "huh".

K patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will cover up the things you shouldn't see."

Lu Jian suddenly laughed: "Actually, there's nothing you can't see, anyway, that's what happened."

K watched Lu Jian walk out of the headquarters with a smile, and slowly turned his gaze to the still stiff face of the adjutant beside him.

"Finally I couldn't bear it anymore... I thought that Lu Jian would last a little longer..."

The adjutant was still at a loss: "You mean..."

K shook his head: "It's not interesting, I just didn't expect that his weakness would be an artificial intelligence in the end." He seemed to be explaining or talking to himself: "For a person like Lu Jian, feelings If there is a weakness in it, it won’t be very useful, I originally wanted to keep him a little longer..."

The adjutant took a breath in surprise: "Then you still promised to give him this artificial intelligence?"

K's eyes slowly scanned the plan that was being discussed fiercely on the screen: "It doesn't matter... Our upgrade strategy has already begun to advance, as long as the chip embedding of Sign is completed, our combat artificial intelligence will form the most powerful combat system At that time, Lu Jian's value as a field commander will no longer exist...

"He has helped us a lot. Before sending him away, we should give him some comfort. What's more..." His smile became ambiguous: "It's just that it's useless, and it's not even perfect for making love. It's just an artificial intelligence body..."

The voice of his few words was not too low, and someone not far away had already laughed softly.

Lin Cheng was breathing weakly, and a huge instrument had been surrounding his brain for a detailed scanning process.

He no longer has the ability to protect and control his thoughts, he can only passively and numbly wait for the information analyzer to print out all his memories.

He originally thought that he didn't care anymore, it was just a program anyway.

Even the details he treasured were snooped on and whispered about as if they had nothing to do with him.

But the two words that came into his ears in a haze began to make him feel ashamed.He vaguely realized that when Lu Jian hugged him, his bewildered reactions and cautious temptations were completely wrong.

He will never appreciate the joy of the unity of body and mind of human beings.

He's just an imperfect artificial intelligence.

He was a little puzzled why Lin Xin didn't teach him to blow himself up.In his impression, even the lowest artificial intelligence seems to have this right.

The upgrade plan for combat artificial intelligence was finally finalized [-] hours after the design drawings arrived.

The specific implementation steps will be carried out in three batches within a week.The feasibility assessment of the previous plan was fully carried out, which also included the crisis assessment of the temporary reduction of military power during the artificial intelligence upgrade stage.

K did not take this issue too seriously. On the one hand, since the structure of the combat artificial intelligence is not very particular, the process of embedding Sign is relatively simple. On the other hand, Lin Xin's comprehensive constraints on attacking power, Let him hardly have to be distracted to consider the factor of high-intensity confrontation that may be possible in the short term.

A good technological genius is not necessarily a good military commander.

Especially in this kind of step-by-step confrontation game, there are so many head-turning romances mixed in.

K has no doubt that the young major Lin Xin of the opponent has been defeated because of Lu Jian's betrayal and deceit.

He just waited patiently for the full upgrade of his combat artificial intelligence, and then the day would come when the land in the war zone would surrender for him.

Shen Pei sent the field report to Lin Xin again.But as always, the response was the same.

wait.Long and aimless waiting.

Several times, Shen Pei almost forgot the distinction between himself and the other party in terms of identities, and just wanted to slap the table and shout at the other party: What are you waiting for? Are you still holding out hope that Lu Jian will suddenly show up and say that I am Actually lying to you, and then bringing back the blueprint of artificial intelligence?

But after all, he still restrained himself from saying anything, especially after the sniper who was almost inseparable from the other party disappeared, Lin Xin became more silent and locked himself in the temporary computer room most of the time , I don’t know what is being repeatedly debugged.

Fully restrained combat power, orders not issued... Not only Shen Pei, but all the commanders in the headquarters began to talk and become a little anxious.

But apart from this, Shen Pei could vaguely capture a certain powerful aura.

When he was reporting information, he would occasionally touch the hot magma behind Lin Xin's indifferent pupils. At that moment, he would feel that the other party was quietly but unstoppably pushing towards a certain direction.

The long wait seems to be only for the moment of the outbreak.Shen Pei could even feel that everything was overwhelming.

"Can I explain to the brothers below, how long will the wait last?"

This is after Shen Pei threw the latest battle report on the table, and asked Lin Xin in a low voice.

"Soon……"

The young major answered concisely.Then he picked up the stack of materials and read them intently.

front page.Urgent report.headlines.

The upgrade of the enemy's combat artificial intelligence has been fully completed.

Lin Xin's eyes did not continue to move to the next message. He read the short sixteen characters for almost a minute.

Then he raised his head, and drew a faint smile towards Shen Pei's direction.
