"800 bags of cement, 70 bundles of steel Aren't you a research institute? Why do you buy so many building materials? "

Jinling Institute of higher learning.

Two trucks were parked in a clearing.

Fu, the teacher from the car, looked at the staff who was checking the list and asked curiously.

"I don't know," after checking the supply list and confirming that there is no problem, the staff of the logistics department signed a word on it and replied casually, "maybe it's those people from the Engineering Research Institute who want to use it. Anyway, you haven't seen the more strange purchase list. I'm not surprised."

"What's more strange?"

“…… Even if you ask that, I can't tell you. "

Hearing this, Fu, the teacher driving the van, suddenly turned his eyes.

Can't you say what you're doing there?

"I said in advance that I'm not busy with unloading the cargo, is it? We don't include unloading services here. "

The warehouse keeper who turned over the purchase list smiled and said at a glance.

"You can rest assured that our logistics systems here are all automated."

While talking, there was a whine not far away.

In the direction of the sound, only a dozen small and medium-sized AGV logistics vehicles, as well as forklifts with mechanical arms and elevators, swarmed up from the side.

Under the guidance of four UAVs equipped with industrial cameras, that engineering vehicle is like an ant with clear division of labor. Some are responsible for unloading, some are responsible for automatic path planning and handling, and each performs his own job.

In less than five minutes, the goods on the car have been unloaded completely.

Even before leaving, the UAV flying at the back is still refined, shaking up and down towards the two people, as if nodding thank?

Staring at all this, Fu, the teacher in charge of driving, his eyes almost protruded.

"My God How fast are you unloading? I have to have thirty or forty tons of cement in this car. If we unload it by people, two skilled workers will have to struggle for an hour. "

"Fortunately, five minutes is the normal play," the warehouse keeper said with a smile. "The fastest record here is to build a building in three days. There is no one in the whole construction process except the Engineer in charge of maintenance. It's just unloading. It's nothing. "

Hearing this, the driving teacher Fu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

“…… If the development goes on like this, I'm afraid that all the dock workers will be unemployed by you. "

"That's not true. These devices are still very expensive at present. We only use them for experiments, which is not suitable for large-scale promotion. But it's hard to talk about your son's generation. If you have time, you'd better urge him to study hard. "

Take out your mobile phone and take a picture of the truck that finished unloading for backup. The warehouse keeper stuffed a pack of cigarettes for the teacher Fu, and said with a smile.

"Well, when the goods have been unloaded, you can go out along the way just now."

"Well, then I won't bother you!"

"Go ahead. Don't take a detour. People are watching all the way. Don't blame me for not reminding you when I'm stopped."

"Don't worry, I know you are the key protected object of the state. The boss said hello to me before departure!"

The door is closed.

As the engine started, the truck quickly disappeared at the end of the road.

Seeing the truck go away, the warehouse keeper straightened his hat on his head, turned over the pile of purchase lists he had collected, and muttered strangely.

“…… I don't know which laboratory purchases so much cement. Do you want to build your own house? "

Shaking his head, he closed the purchase list and stuffed it into his carry on bag.

All the management of Jinling Institute of higher learning is carried out in strict accordance with the established procedures and specifications. Each fund, each procurement project and the corresponding subject are reviewed by the fund management committee as a whole.

Therefore, as long as the purchase list reaches him, it means there is no problem.

As for other things, he should not worry about, nor should he worry about them.

In the night, as the goods were transported into a warehouse, a crack soon opened on the flat cement road, revealing the hidden elevator underneath.

Under the lift, the supplies were quickly transported underground.

Under the supervision of the UAV supervisor, a logistics vehicle and small-scale automatic construction equipment, like the nest workers, transported all the building materials to the underground of the Jinling Institute of higher learning. The underground three floors, which do not exist in the construction drawings, were refitted and processed twice.

Whether it's the elevator, the safety door, or the ventilation pipe, all the locations that may expose the underground facilities have been camouflaged and improved by the only manager, "Xiaoai".

Its owner will not come back.

At least for a while.But it can be sure that the owner is still alive. Even though most people on the internet think that he has been killed in the disaster, it still believes that he is still alive and that he is the only hope for the owner to go home.

Especially after receiving that message, Xiaoai is extremely convinced of this.

However, there are no conditions to take the host home. Before it has enough conditions and ability to take its master back from Mars, it must first ensure that it can survive the long wait.

It's best to hibernate for a while.

For this reason, it reconstructed the basement, recovered all possible clues from the land boat family, and stored enough supplies in the fortress to ensure that even if the most extreme situation happened - the whole institute moved, no one would find such a special "shelter" hidden under the foundation

After all, for human society, a living AI belongs to a different kind.

No law can protect its rights and interests justly. After losing its owner's protection, no one can trust it. It must be carefully hidden in the shadow of human society. Only when it is not discovered can it bring all secrets to the future.

This is the last task left by the land boat.

Hide it.

Save him from Mars when circumstances permit.

……

December 10th.

Zijinshan hotel has gathered guests from all over the world. Some of them are political and business tycoons, and some well-known people from all walks of life, but they are mainly academics.

In the lobby of the hotel, standing in front of the spotlight, Chen Yushan, dressed in a black dress, announced the establishment of the science prize of land and boat with a gentle and solemn voice.

According to the relevant rules issued by the foundation, the evaluation of the award will be conducted by a professional evaluation committee, striving for the principle of fairness and fairness, and ensuring the openness and transparency of all links.

At the same time, the land boat award is temporarily divided into five categories, covering mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and informatics.

The selection mode is basically the same as the Nobel Prize, which selects one of the most outstanding research achievements with the greatest academic value every year, and grants the honor to at least three researchers with the most outstanding achievements in this research direction.

According to the rules drafted by the land boat Science Award Foundation, star technology will inject 10 billion yuan of initial capital to invest in high-tech value-added industries, and 30% of the annual income will be used to pay for the management fees and general expenses of the foundation, while at least 10 million yuan will be awarded to the winners of this year.

As for the rest, it will be put into the fund pool to create more profits for the fund to pay future bonus. At the same time, the managers of the foundation will decide whether to increase the bonus amount and set up new discipline awards according to the actual situation.

In addition to actively adjusting the bonus amount, the benchmark value of the bonus will rise year by year according to the inflation rate issued by the central bank in that year, so as to ensure that no matter at any stage of the economic cycle, the money can play the purchasing power of RMB 10 million at the beginning of the bonus.

At the same time, the award is sponsored and guaranteed by the Ministry of science and technology of the people's Republic of China.

If the fund goes bankrupt or fails to pay the bonus due to mismanagement and other reasons, the Ministry of science and technology will bear 50% of the bonus expenditure and purchase the fund at the necessary time to ensure that the award can continue to exist.

In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary at all. With the technical background of Star Technology and the huge heritage left by the land boat, they are all countless times more wealth than Nobel himself.

In the process of fund management, the state will also give some policy help to the fund for the purpose of supporting high-tech industry and encouraging scientific research activities.

Like the green lights Sweden has been giving to the Nobel Prize Foundation.

“…… Scientific exploration needs dedication. When we encourage dedication, we should also take into account those who contribute their youth to learning. "

"The original intention of this bonus is to give material and spiritual compensation to those who are striving for science, so that they do not have to worry about their livelihood at least."

"At the same time, we believe that this money will be able to play a huge role in their hands."

After the opening ceremony speech, Chen Yushan put a check signed by Lu Xiaotong into a blue donation box under the eyes of all the guests.

Witnessed this moment, there was thunderous applause in the meeting hall.

From today on, an award named by the world's greatest scholars was born in this world.

It is destined to be a rising star in the scientific community.

It's not just because of the huge reward, but also because of the name that gives it a special meaning.

After the new conference, the discipline representatives elected by the fund evaluation committee announced the list of the first batch of winners.When the five winners came to the stage to take the prize, Chen Yushan, who had previously stepped down from the stage, was surrounded by reporters who arrived at the scene.

"Hello, Ms. Chen Yushan, in what capacity did you hold this press conference?"

Chen Yushan: "many identities, the most important of which are probably the manager of star technology, Ms. Lu Xiaotong's agent, and Lu Zhou's fiancee."

“…… We all know that December 10 is the date of the Nobel Prize. Why do you choose such a special time as the press conference to announce the science prize of land and boat? Is there any special purpose in this? "

"Of course, there are special intentions, because this is a special day for me and him."

Another reporter put out the microphone from the side.

"So you want to commemorate him in this way?"

Chen Yushan looked at him and asked.

"Yes, is there anything you can't do?"

I didn't expect that Chen Yushan would admit it so simply. Instead, the reporter who asked this question was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Well, no, we're just a little curious..."

The interview didn't last for a long time. After the security guard arrived, Chen Yushan left the press conference under the escort of the security guard.

Just as she was about to move into the ballroom for the upcoming dinner party, two men in black suits walked through the crowd towards her.

"Hello, Ms. Chen. We are from the 15th National Security Bureau."

Because her father works in the organization, Chen Yushan still knows about the organization. It seems that the 15th bureau is mainly responsible for information analysis and image data management.

To the man in front of the line of inquiry, Chen Yushan said.

"What can I do for you?"

"About a few months ago, a supply ship returned from Mars brought back remains belonging to academician Lu. The relic contains a section of holographic image data left by him. After content verification, this section of data has now been partially released. Because part of it involves you, we have come to deliver it to you. "

"I'm sorry to have been so long."

As he spoke, the man politely handed out his briefcase and lowered his head slightly.

Taking the briefcase from his hand, Chen opened the seal and took out the chip inside.

She is very familiar with the design of the chip, which is the special memory card of holographic projection technology released by Star Technology at the beginning of this year.

“…… Thank you, "Chen Yushan said politely after accepting the card." have you eaten yet? "

"Not yet, but we still have business to deal with, so we won't stay to disturb."

With that, the man smiled and nodded his head. He took the staff beside him and turned away.

Standing beside Chen Yushan, Xiao Tong looks at the card in her hand.

“…… It was my brother who stayed. "

"Well."

A drop of water hit the open paper bag.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yushan tries to suppress the bitterness in her heart. After calming her breathing, she continues.

"Let's play it at the dinner party later."

"Is that ok?" Xiaotong said in a low voice.

"There's nothing wrong with him. He doesn't belong to me alone."

But belongs to the world

The dinner party began soon.

In a lively and peaceful atmosphere, several staff members moved a holographic projector to the center of the banquet hall.

Looking at this big guy who came to visit suddenly, everyone cast a curious sight at it.

In people's curious eyes, wearing black evening dress, Chen Yushan went to the center of the banquet hall and said.

"Before the party, I'd like to release an image of Mars research base."

"It was left by academician Lu."

The meeting was quiet.

Everyone's eyes are focused on her.

Chen Yushan nodded to the staff next to her and then backed away.

With the power on, the misty fog rises up. Under a series of blue light particles, a virtual hologram appears in front of everyone in a flash.

At the moment of seeing that image, people's faces showed surprise expression one after another, many people even sent out a cry, covering the mouth which was opened because of surprise and excitement.

Land boat!

A living land boat!

Although, it's just holographic projection

Bathed in a brilliant blue light, standing on the land boat on the holographic projector, some shy smile said.

"I know. Maybe this video will be played many times. In short, when you see this impact, I may not be able to come back for a while Or more sadly, it's probably not in the world anymore. "Facing the guests in the banquet hall, he looked at the boat in front of him and smiled, embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous. After all, you know, a young man like me still has a lot of life to live, and he has little experience in preparing his last words and dealing with the aftermath."

"It would be nice if no one found this image, but if there is a probability of one in ten thousand, something unfortunate really happened, let you find this thing Please also hope you don't feel sorry for my leaving. "

"Life itself is a journey from beginning to end, and everyone will eventually meet the same destination. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to be a day or two ahead of time, as long as the process is wonderful."

"Maybe it's also related to my own character. At least I don't think it's a sad thing. Please don't cry and feel sad for me."

"The exploration of science itself is a matter full of risks. Even though our tradition does not advocate risk-taking and the pursuit of a stable middle way, I don't think this is necessarily right. If it's just for stability, maybe there won't be our life today, and all of us may sit on the tree safely and watch the ferocious beasts scurrying under our feet. "

"That may be a bit of a rhetorical, but it's my most real idea at the moment. Besides, please don't blame those who didn't stop me If you see this video, it means that everything is my own choice. "

"I want to say sorry to my parents, relatives and friends. I may It's a long way to go, and it's going to be a challenging, new adventure. "

"Please don't worry about me, even if I go to the void beyond time, I will always be with you."

"In the end, I want to leave time to my beloved I know my video will be played many times, but please give me some private space. "

Standing in the blue light curtain, facing a void of fog, the land boat in the image took a deep breath and said.

“…… I promised you that I would propose to you that day. "

"I don't know if you saw this image on the special day of December 10, but I still want to tell you... "

"Will you marry me?"

There was silence in the banquet hall.

Time seems to be fixed at this moment.

Keeping the position of proposal lasted for many seconds, it seemed that he proposed to the video camera in a funny way, and the boat scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and finally stood up straight again.

“…… Sorry, this proposal may not be very solemn, but I have absolutely no perfunctory meaning, and I hope you will never know that I practiced in front of the mirror many times before. "

"As for the ring, I'm sorry that I can't give it to you personally, but I put it under my pillow. The size is measured secretly by me Ten thousand steps back. If I really can't come back, I hope you can find it... "

After finishing all the words in one breath, the land boat in the hologram took a sniff and finally showed a relieved smile on her face.

"I'm sorry to be so provocative..."

"If it doesn't work in the end, it will be lost."

"But if it should be used..."

The Adam's Apple moved slightly, the boat in the image was silent for a few seconds, and the expression was a little lonely.

“…… If you use it, please don't promise me with a hot head. "

"Refuse me."

Tears burst out of her eyes, Chen Yushan covered her nose with her hands, choking and interrupting his words.

"No!"

Forgetting where she was and the crowd around her, she rushed to the stage, hugged the illusory image and pulled him to her arms.

The warm mist, as light as tulle, pierced her collar, leaked out between her fingers and hair, and finally disappeared in the silent night, melting into a dark ceiling.

He knelt on the ground like losing gravity.

She cried out the words in a hoarse voice with a cry.

"I will!"
