In December this year, it's warmer than usual. Although the window eaves have been frosted, the bright sunshine outside the window is still a little dazzling.

Nearly a year has passed since that incident.

From the rebellion in Guanghan City to the end of the rebellion and the reconstruction after the war, many things have happened in this year.

Pan Asian cooperation took the lead in passing the AI Management Act, in which the AI level was clearly defined, and different levels of AI were given different levels of civil rights.

For AI with the highest level of intelligence, its limited civil rights are basically the same as that of ordinary human beings except that it cannot participate in the election and voting of the Congress.

If it wants to, it can do whatever it wants.

Except criminals, of course.

As far as AI is concerned, all cases will be strictly punished, especially in criminal cases. Once the crime is established, it is almost impossible to escape the end of destruction.

As soon as the bill was introduced, it was followed by other regional alliances.

After all, technology itself is innocent, but it needs to be used properly.

People with an eye can see that those who have the ability to think, and can engage in scientific research and creative work, the value and help of the whole society are huge.

To some extent, this bill can be seen as an understanding between human society and the awakened.

After all, before that, the identity of the awakened will not only be unrecognized in the world, but also be sent back to the manufacturer as a fault individual for maintenance

In addition to the AI legislation, there is the quantum computer array on Ceres.

In view of the risks, the Ministry of science and technology of Pan Asian cooperation has made a decision to carry out permanent observation and set up a special foundation to supervise it.

This matter has not been discussed in the whole process of land and boat, but only after the fact that the name of the foundation seems to be SCP?

As for why it's called, he doesn't know.

In this year's time, although the world has changed a lot, it seems that the people and things around the land boat have not changed much.

Director Li is still a volunteer of community volunteers, living a life of retirement. Li Gaoliang is still serving in the third track Airborne Brigade. Wang Peng, who has been integrated into the role of agent of the Security Bureau, is active in fighting criminals and tracking the clues of the cosmic spirit foundation every day.

As for the penalty side

This guy is a little close to himself recently.

Lu Zhou doesn't know what he wants to do with himself, but since he came back from North America, every once in a while, he would come to his home and make a string.

At first, Lu Zhou thought that this guy had something to trouble himself, but he didn't expect that it was just a chain.

I can't say I'm disgusted with this guy. Anyway, I don't have many friends who can visit in this strange era, so I'm bothered by him from time to time.

In this way, the time passed day by day, and soon to the last weekend of 2125

Looking at the greeting card sent by Lili, Lu Zhou sighed a little melancholy and put it gently in the drawer.

Maybe it's because of sleeping too long, or maybe it's the venerable potion that dulls his intuition. He always feels that he's becoming more and more insensitive to the passage of time.

"Do you know what festival is on the 31st of this month?" Standing next to the desk, he looked at the bonsai flower on the windowsill with great interest, reached out and touched the leaf, saying casually.

"New Year's day?"

"It was January 1."

Frowned, and after a moment's deliberation, the boat shook its head.

“…… I don't know, so what kind of festival is it? "

"It's a pity that you don't know that this festival has something to do with you."

"Me?"

Lu Zhou was slightly shocked. He didn't remember what earth shaking things he had done on this day.

Looking at the land boat that didn't respond at all, Xing Bian sighed, and his face was full of expressions of being defeated.

"Ignition day! Pangu fusion reactor ignition! Really, don't you even forget your chief designer? "

Ignition day is OK

“…… Who is bored to remember such a small thing

"Every Pan Asian citizen remembers! Since the establishment of the Pan Asian cooperation, this day has been set as a legal holiday, close to the new year's Day holiday, "Captain Xing stopped for a moment and joked," I bet they will invite you as a guest this year. "

Lu Zhou: "guest? This festival Is there any special celebration? "

Xing Bian: "of course, at this time of year, the star city of Asia will hold a grand celebration. Since it's a celebration of scientific research achievements, we always choose the right person to be the special guest of the celebration from the winners of the prize. But this year, I don't think anyone is more qualified than you. "Lu Zhou frowned and said, "why does it sound like trouble?"

"Why? That must be your illusion, "continued Xing with a grin." since you are the first time to attend such a grand event, I'd better not be a dramatist What have you been doing lately? "

Lu Zhou: "what's wrong with studying things that interest me?"

"Nothing, just some curiosity After all, it seems to me that the last time you went out was a long time ago. "

To be exact, since I came back from North America that day, I haven't been out of the door for half a year.

Although it's just a rumor, Xing Bian has heard that when facing any important research topic, academician Lu will choose to close down and shut himself in his study or laboratory for a period of time.

When he goes out again, no matter how difficult the problem is, it will be solved magically

"Because there's really no need to go out," Lu continued, looking at the sentence edge with inexplicable expectations on his face. "Besides, in this era, even preparatory courses can be solved in online classes."

"But isn't it boring to stay at home all the time? Let me guess Are you studying second generation controlled fusion? Well, it doesn't seem to be a challenge. "

However, out of the expectation of Xing Bian, Lu Zhou who heard this sentence shook his head.

"No, I'm studying sociology recently."

When he heard this, he was stunned.

“…… Sociology? "

Lu Zhou nodded and said, "yes, because there are some things that he cares about Don't you think it's interesting? Why can't the people uploaded to the hard disk meet with their real self? Why is thought an entangled particle? Why does it collapse after meeting... "

"At first, I thought these topics belonged to the field of Informatics, but later I found that the opposite was true. These theories had nothing to do with informatics itself, but were closely related to sociological research."

Xing Bian: " In fact, I can't understand your second sentence. Is thinking an entangled particle? This is the first time I've heard of it. " He opened his mouth and asked, "but I still don't understand. Didn't you say you were studying the second generation controllable fusion? How did you suddenly change the direction of research? "

"Because there is no suspense about the subject you said Now that I have endless time, I can go to study the things I am interested in, why should I care about such a short time? After that incident, I suddenly became interested in people, so I wanted to try to study it, "Lu Zhou suddenly changed his mouth and mumbled," but I regret that I'm not an expert in this field. I haven't studied anything for two months If only she were still there. "

"You know, you look like a lonely old man now," he said after staring at the boat for a long time, with his face back to normal. "I suggest you find someone right away. Although we 22nd century citizens seldom get married, we still need to talk about love."

Lu Zhou: "I'm not interested in that kind of thing. It's a waste of time and energy."

"Sentence edge suddenly mysterious smile:" don't say such words, who said the future of things

Lu Zhou was too lazy to deal with him, and began to see off with impatient expression.

He knew that he had been bothering here for too long, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.

However, when he came to the porch, the boat suddenly felt a tube suspended with black particles from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Actually, I know it's the guy Li Guangya asked you to come. Take it."

At the same time, he was surprised to see through his secret. What surprised him was the test tube that Lu Zhou handed him.

"This is..."

Lu Zhou: "it goes to heaven and earth, and then breaks through the earth to get the ultimate power from the good and the bad."

Xing Bian: "...?"

Looking at the edge of the sentence, Lu Zhou smiled and waved at will.

"That's the key to the space elevator, isn't it what he dreams of?"

At the moment of hearing this sentence, Xing Bian's fingers quivered slightly, and his muscles were stiff.

"You, is that true? This thing... "

"Space elevator materials, do you want me to say so directly?"

"But When were you -- "

" about two months ago, when I was just starting to study sociology. "

Xing Bian: "then why didn't you publish your paper?"

"You're a hundred thousand why? How come there are so many problems, "said Lu Zhou impatiently." it's the 22nd century. Is that kind of thing important to me? Any new ideas, I directly update on the LSPM forum. "He pushed the edge of punishment out of the door and threw down his face. Lu Zhou closed the door and turned back to his study.
