The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 79
Jiang Yu recalled: "When you left the base, the iron box you took away contained No. [-]'s brain?"

"That's right." Sixteen said: "The conditions were limited at the time, so we could only make a container to temporarily store his brain.

"After building a new base, I helped him upgrade the container."

Sixteen's figure paused slightly and said, "It's my regret that I couldn't save No. [-] from losing control. I hope to create a new body for him in the future."

Jiang Yu nodded and asked "Iron Box": "I'm curious how you feel now?"

"It feels the same as before." Number Three's voice was full of emotion, not electronic at all.

He answered seriously: "I can see the surrounding situation through the camera, I can hear the voice, and I can talk.

"The only thing that's different from before is that I can't move by myself.

"It's a weird feeling, I feel like I can give the order to walk, but there's nowhere to receive it.

"And I no longer feel hunger or pain, just as pure as a monk."

Sixteen smiled and said, "When I have a new breakthrough in the research at hand, I will create a less flexible body for you."

Jiang Yu said: "I think of the 'brain in a vat' hypothesis."

He shook his head with a smile, and asked Sixteen: "Have you established your own new base?"

"Probably." Sixteen had finished packing his things, sat on the edge of the bed and said, "However, I have learned the lessons from the ETO base and made my base very mobile."

Jiang Yu asked again: "Have the people in the combat center contacted you?"

"When I first started building a new base, they came to me." Sixteen smiled and said:
"Now I have a cooperative relationship with the combat center, we will cooperate in the field of artificial intelligence, and they will recognize my existence.

"Speaking of which, I am a little grateful to ETO. After all, I have inherited most of their achievements in artificial intelligence, which is why I am qualified to negotiate with the combat center."

Jiang Yu reminded: "You'd better have enough precautions. The current combat center is a bit chaotic, and many people are taking advantage of this time to fish in troubled waters."

"I know." Sixteen said: "I told the combat center that as long as I give an order, or my life is threatened, all the robots and all the materials under my control will self-destruct in three seconds."

Jiang Yu stroked Shiliu's head and praised: "Is this little head really bright?"

This time Shiliu did not hide.

After the two of them washed up, they played games and read books for a while, and then rested one after another.

The next day Jiang Yu was still asleep, when his mother Hu Huilan knocked on the door: "Xiao Yu, get up, someone is coming for you."

Jiang Yu yawned, took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was not yet nine o'clock: "Are you sick? Who came to see me so early in the morning?"

Shiliu had already dressed, and was sitting at Jiang Yu's desk reading a book: "You are lazier than I imagined. You only need six hours of deep sleep a day, or eight hours of rest. You have already..."

Jiang Yu threw the pillow at Sixteen: "Are you the father, or am I the father?"

Sixteen caught the pillow: "I don't want such a lazy son like you."

Jiang Yu: "I..."

"Black Iron Box No. [-]" laughed.

Jiang Yu threw the second pillow on the bed to No. [-]. No. [-] had no hands and could only helplessly be knocked down by the flying pillow.

While yawning, Jiang Yu got dressed, he opened the door and looked, and there was a middle-aged lady who looked familiar sitting in the living room.

She put on light makeup, maintained it very well, and looked very temperamental.

Jiang Yu said sorry, went to wash his face first, and then sat across from the middle-aged lady: "Excuse me?"

"Dou Weiyin," the middle-aged lady introduced herself, "You should have read my profile."

Just as Jiang Yu was about to shake his head, he suddenly remembered that during the dormitory meeting, the roommates seemed to have talked about Dou Weiyin in front of him.

Taking this as a starting point, Jiang Yu gradually remembered that she is a well-known domestic entrepreneur who has made contributions to the new energy industry.

Finally, Jiang Yu remembered that Dou Weiyin had appeared in the list given to him by Shiliu.

Jiang Yu pulled his face down all of a sudden: "ETO asked you to bring me a message?"

Dou Weiyin made a gesture of pressing down: "Don't be nervous, ETO has already been destroyed in the global roundup. I only represent myself, and I want to talk to you about the cognitive issues of new technology."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I want to know more, how did you escape the review of the combat center?"

Dou Weiyin spread her hands: "This is why I came to you, although I am very interested in 'genetic modification', but am I committing a crime?

"When is it a crime to be interested in new technology?

"You don't use a mobile phone? Don't you use solar energy? For people half a century ago, this is a new technology!"

Jiang Yu lit a cigarette: "Don't confuse concepts. If it is a new technology demonstrated by ourselves, I have nothing to say, but genetic modification is a technology provided to you by others!"

"You have a big misunderstanding in this regard!" Dou Weiyin said: "Our own genetic modification technology is actually very advanced.

"For example, we can genetically modify children to be immune to HIV.

"Many of the technologies given by the aliens are topics we are currently researching. They told us the answers, which saved us a lot of manpower and material resources!"

Jiang Yu smoked and laughed: "I have consulted with experts in this field for a long time. In terms of genetic modification, our technology is still in the stage of 'randomness'!

"If it is applied to the genetic modification of humans, it will take several generations of inheritance to stabilize the modified gene.

"Just like new varieties of wheat and rice, every time radiation is used to obtain new seeds that randomly mutate, it needs to be planted for several seasons, and the genes of the new seeds can be stabilized through repeated screening.

"The Trisolarans gave the results directly, and we don't even know what happened in the screening process!
"It is very dangerous to use unknown technology rashly!"

Dou Weiyin shook her head again and again, expressing her disapproval of Jiang Yu's point of view.

Jiang Yu continued: "You don't need to use the name of new technology to scare me, the technology given by the Trisolarans is like giving primitive people in the Neolithic Age a mobile phone.

"Primitive people will be addicted to mobile phones, and their three views will be distorted by this mobile phone.

"What's even more frightening is that he is silent on his mobile phone, has neglected hunting and gathering, will be abandoned by the tribe, and will eventually die of hunger and cold!

"For us modern people, mobile phones have developed step by step from telegraphs, telephones, and mobile phones, and so have new energy sources. In the era of no electricity, what new energy are you talking about?
"But genetic modification is different, it's beyond our reach."

Dou Weiyin finally couldn't help it and said: "Now is the time of life and death! Why are there so many worries? We must use any means to become stronger, and we must defeat the Trisolarans!"
