Virtual Superstar Breeding Diary

Cold metal walls sealed off the tiny laboratory airtight.

Xiao Chi lay quietly on the test bench, all body functions fell into a short dormancy.

Professor Xiao Rui put on gloves for himself, slowly connected the data cable and the monitoring instrument, looked at a regularly fluctuating line on the display screen, and frowned slightly.

"Why hasn't his memory been sorted out, and he has repeatedly doubted his self-cognition?"

The voice of the artificial intelligence responded: "The matching degree is 1% different, and the database cannot be fully integrated. The original self-awareness activity in the body still exists, and there is a 10% possibility of causing permanent damage to the brain if it is forcibly overwritten or cleared." .”

"...No." The professor pinched the center of his brows, the two patches of black and blue under his eyes were particularly obvious in the backlight, his hoarse voice echoed in the narrow space, "Other experimental subjects have failed, but this one survived , we can't take this risk. Is there any other way?"

"Reprogramming new memory implants, allowing the brain to automatically rationalize, the fusion process is initially estimated to take about half a year."

The professor lowered his head and murmured: "Half a year... long nights and many dreams..."

Just when he lowered his head to think, there was a sudden and steady knock on the door.

The professor raised his head suddenly, his brows were solemn: "Who is it?"

The display immediately switched to the monitoring screen, and Ji Chenxuan stood in front of the gate, looking coldly at the camera.

The professor slowly took off his gloves, pushed Xiao Chi into the glass cover of the nutrition cabin, pressed the door valve, closed the laboratory, drew the curtains again, and then opened the door.

Pale light illuminated a corner of the corridor, Ji Chenxuan's upper body was in shadow, only two straight trouser legs and shiny leather shoes were shrouded in light.

Xiao Rui opened the door halfway, and the two dark pupils behind the lens looked at each other without emotion: "This gentleman, I am visiting late at night, what's the matter?"

Ji Chenxuan narrowed his eyes, looked at him calmly, and cut straight to the point: "I'll take Xiao Chi home."

The professor took a deep look at him, smiled, remembered something, and gave up unnecessary concealment: "Home? This is his home."

"He's really here with you." Ji Chenxuan put one hand against the door and pushed it open little by little.

The professor simply turned to let him in, and even gently asked him to sit down in the living room: "Coffee or tea?"

"No need. I want to see Xiao Chi and return him to me." Ji Chenxuan looked at this small apartment, decorated in a cold style, it's hard to imagine such an ordinary house, There is some ulterior secret hidden in the dark.

"Then let's have coffee." The professor poured two cups of coffee and brought them over. The strong black coffee, the aroma has not yet spread, as if you can taste the bitter taste.

"I'm not surprised that you found this place, but the speed is beyond my expectation." The professor sat down on the single sofa and blew on the rising heat of the coffee.

Ji Chenxuan searched around and found nothing, knowing that the only breakthrough was in the man in front of him, so he didn't worry, he sat down calmly opposite Xiao Rui, with his hands crossed on his overlapping knees, like the man opposite him. field negotiations.

"What is the relationship between you and Xiao Chi?"

The professor smiled and said, "Didn't he tell you? I am his father."

"Father? Ridiculous." Ji Chenxuan chewed on this absurd title, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, "Where did he get his father from a virtual intelligence? Why do you say he is your son?"

Hearing this word from Xiao Chi in the glass greenhouse a few hours ago, he was immersed in overly excited emotions, his thoughts were so chaotic that he refused to accept all the facts, almost thinking that he had heard it wrong.

It wasn't until he calmed down completely that he connected all the things that were wrong with Xiao Chi in recent days.

He arranged for the bodyguard beside Xiao Chi to report back. After Xiao Chi left, he went to the "non-existent psychological clinic" he had visited many times.

Zhou Tong’s investigation has obtained new clues again—the apartment in the clinic and the Mary’s photography studio where Ji Chenlang kidnapped Xiao Chi, the owners of which have used the same foreign high-level secret bank account .

From the beginning to the end, as early as Ji Chenlang, no, maybe earlier, longer than he imagined, this guy who was hiding in the dark and peeping was plotting this conspiracy against Xiao Chi.

"As expected, you know. Then I might as well tell you that I am his creator." The professor shook his head. Ji Chenxuan knew that Xiao Chi was a virtual intelligence, which did not surprise the professor. He sighed, "This child is just too innocent. He doesn't know how to hide and protect himself. He doesn't know how much benefit he will bring to those who know how to use him."

The professor glanced at Ji Chenxuan pointedly: "Even if he has the defense program I made for him, even if his physical function and reaction nerves are stronger than anyone else, he cannot completely avoid harm. , is too dangerous for him."

"Especially in the field of emotion, which is unpredictable and uncontrollable. If you are not careful, you will never recover. It will wear down his will, destroy his spirit, and even oppose his relatives for the person he is obsessed with."

"After all, you want to hold him completely in your hands and be your marionette? The person who is using him is obviously you!" Ji Chenxuan leaned forward slightly, staring at him with a certain kind of gaze. Looking at him, he said sharply, "What method did you use to brainwash him? He still remembers that he is an idol star, he remembers making this movie, he still remembers others, but he only forgot me!"

"What did you do to him?!"

The professor took a sip of his coffee and said lightly, "I'm just protecting him in my own way, so that my son is in an absolutely safe environment both mentally and physically."

"Protection? You call brainwashing and memory tampering 'protection'?" Ji Chenxuan laughed angrily, "Just because you gave him a body, you can control his life at will? What's more, his Self-awareness is born naturally, not created by you at all. Are you worthy of calling yourself a father?"

The professor's face darkened, and then slowly calmed down: "Of course I can control him, he was originally born because of me."

The professor stood up, took out a dark yellow soft cowhide book from the bookcase, and opened it page by page.

"Now that my experiment has been a great success, it doesn't matter if I tell you." He turned on the signal-shielding instrument casually, with a slight smile on his face, like a collector showing off his collection.

"Since my son's accident, I sealed his brain and started to try cloning, but soon I realized that the life formed in that way is too fragile and has great defects. So I turned to research on virtual intelligence and life science combined with applied topics."

"My son's wish since he was a child was to be an idol star. Unfortunately, the car accident ruined his appearance, so I made up my mind to build the most beautiful body for him to fulfill his wish."

"In terms of virtual intelligence, AI companies have very rich resources and a hidden and safe environment. I was hired by AI in the name of a technical consultant to help them develop virtual idols while continuing my plan. Fortunately, after years of research , and finally succeeded in giving birth to a real virtual intelligence, that is Xiao Chi."

Speaking of excitement, the professor's cheeks turned drunk, Ji Chenxuan caught a glimpse of the photo frame of father and son on the coffee table, listened silently to the other party talking about his brilliant achievements, and moved his lips.

"His existence cannot be known to others, so I secretly modified his data to cover up his abnormalities and make him look as normal as other puppet. It is all about him, making him more and more perfect, and of course, he has become the most popular idol!"

"At this time, I finally succeeded in developing the bio-simulation body that I have painstakingly researched for many years. I have devoted all I have, but I have only created such a body. It is exactly the same as a human being except that it has no self-consciousness. Body and consciousness, body and soul, will get the best The perfect combination."

Ji Chenxuan squinted his eyes and stared at him coldly: "It turns out that the weird explosion in the AI ​​company, the disappearance of researchers and materials, and the sudden disappearance of Xiao Chi were all caused by you..."

"That was a big gamble." The professor sat back on the sofa again, rubbing the rim of the coffee cup with his fingertips, and looked far away, "Exporting Xiao Chi's data into that body, whether his consciousness can remain intact, I don't know." I don't know, but fortunately, I won the bet, probably, my child is also watching all this in the dark."

The corner of Ji Chenxuan's mouth curled into a sneering smile: "He would never have thought that you would call yourself a son to a virtual intelligence."

"What do you know?" The professor sneered, "The torso is just the carrier of a person. Memory and thinking are the soul and foundation of a person. When they recover, people can be resurrected from the dead."

Ji Chenxuan shook his head: "I don't understand, if this is the case, why didn't you inject your son's data into this body from the beginning? You have to make such a big detour."

The professor frowned and said, "I've said it before, because I can't guarantee the success rate, and I don't have the resources to build a qualified body. I also tried other efforts later, but unfortunately, without exception, they all failed. , success is inevitable.”

He paused, and then said: "More importantly, even if it was successful at the time, it does not mean that there will be no problems in the future. During this period of time, I have been silently observing Xiao Chi, his behavior, and his behavior. The similarities and differences with human beings, the chip in his neck, constantly passed on his own changes to me one by one."

chip……

Ji Chenxuan clenched his fists hard: "Now you are sure that you will not fail, so you will attack him?"

The professor looked at him indifferently: "No, this kind of thing cannot be 100% sure, I can only try my best to increase the success rate."

He showed off his masterpiece to laymen like a virtuoso: "I met him at the signing event, influenced his consciousness through the chip, and attracted him to me. Using the virtual helmet to build a sense of trust with me, together A little subtle influence on his memory, thinking and subconsciousness, lowering the vigilance and defense of the brain, improving the matching degree with the new memory, allowing him to adapt better and reducing the risk of failure."

Thinking of the 99% matching degree, the professor sighed: "Actually, this process should be longer, but he has already noticed that if he continues, there may be extra problems, and I can't wait any longer. Because Your existence."

"But these are not important anymore." The professor smiled, "Because he has completely become the son I want."

"You are a perverted lunatic!" Ji Chenxuan's heart sank, and he completely lost the patience to listen to the story: "I want to see him and take him away."

The professor drank his coffee slowly: "I didn't detain him. You have seen him today. Would he go with you?"

Ji Chenxuan took a deep breath, touched the handle of the gun several times, and then let go: "Let him regain his consciousness, otherwise..."

The quiet wall suddenly shook, and it was extraordinarily clear in the suffocating confrontation.

The two turned their heads in astonishment, the curtain covering the entrance of the laboratory was lifted at some point, and Xiao Chi stood there at the open metal door with some broken glass on his hands.

He frowned, looked tired, and looked unhappy: "Father, I don't like sleeping in a glass cover..."
