Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 699: Arab cities without air and Ötzi the Iceman
The two eyes met in mid-air for half a second, and the man wrapped in black leather suddenly tilted his head.
The sinister feeling on his face gradually disappeared like ice melting, along with the human expressions and emotions; although the facial features had not changed, only an empty, empty expression remained on the same face. Transparent nothingness.
Lin Sanjiu had an idea for no reason: even a person with a gloomy personality like the puppet master still has a "human touch".
The "Puppet Master" opposite sighed, looked down at her body, and then carefully looked at the white lightning hair ornament on the back of her head. “The sudden task that interrupted my daily work has now turned into overtime, which is really unexpected.”
This is actually a data body!
The hair on Lin Sanjiu's whole body suddenly exploded, and he stood still in a daze. For a moment, she really didn't know which situation was worse for her: facing a programmed puppet master with full power, or facing the data body itself.
If the former means danger and hard fighting, the latter means helplessness that makes people unable to even think of resistance - no matter how hard you struggle and fight under such circumstances, it is all meaningless and futile.
"Originally, I was going to sneak attack you, but now that you have discovered it, I think I have to continue to improve and deepen this devouring program," the data body that still looked like a puppet master muttered to himself Lost in thought. "The current efficiency of this method is too low."
Improvement? deepen?
Lin Sanjiu stood in a daze, perhaps because she looked too confused, but the data entity thoughtfully explained to her: "Everything here is just a pictorial representation of a set of 'Arab Town Data'. Now The program setting is to devour your own data program through the surface of the object in the picture, because it is relatively simple to write such a setting. But since it is not efficient, I have to use another way to devour you."
I don’t understand—do you want to run away?
With his heart sinking, Lin Sanjiu moved slightly, but finally stopped. She swallowed dryly, glanced at the big rocks at her feet, and vaguely felt that her escape was in vain. As long as the data body is willing, it can appear anywhere it wants, so where can she go?
Why haven’t the Supreme God and the gift pack come yet?
"Wait," she couldn't help shouting, "What will happen to me?"
"Become a character data stored in our information database." The data body raised its head, and its eyes slowly turned pale: "When you find out again that you can see, walk, and talk. When... that's when we recreated you based on the data. Before that, you didn't exist, all that existed was a set of silent data."
Lin Sanjiu shuddered and stared at his feet, thinking desperately about how to escape. She stood here for a while, but the integration of her body and the road seemed to be suspended. She had no idea what the other party was going to do next.
"Ah, it's almost done." The data body suddenly sighed, "It's time to start running."
What?
Lin Sanjiu was startled, her whole body tense up reflexively, and her consciousness began to flow wildly; she took in all the scenery around her, fearing that she would miss any changes - but soon, the facts proved It's all wasted effort.
This time it was not the road or the wall that began to engulf her.
She raised an arm and watched as smoke began to spread from her fingertips; soon, her palms and arms also disappeared bit by bit, as if she was just a human form made of clouds and smoke.
"Air," the data body still raised its head, revealing the puppet master's pale neck. He seemed to sense Lin Sanjiu's panic without even looking at it: "It takes a lot of effort to let the air swallow you. I hope I can finish this work soon."
"No, it's impossible," Lin Sanjiu couldn't even take his eyes away from his dissipated arm, and could only shout hoarsely: "This is the inside of a light filament in the data flow library, here There is no air at all!"
"You're right," the data subject's voice was still calm. For Lin Sanjiu, this may be the end of life; but for him, this is just a small episode in today's work. "But you forgot that the data set of 'Arab cities' also includes the element of air. Can you find an Arab city that does not contain air? When the city is visualized, air also appears together. It’s just that you can’t see it.”
It is very patient and answers almost every question.
As soon as Lin Sanjiu lowered her head, she could hardly suppress her fear - her feet turned into boulders and disappeared completely at an unknown time; she was like a ghost without legs, Floating in mid-air. Seeing that more and more parts were disappearing, she shouted with a bit of despair: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Pause for now, I have something to ask you!"
"Are you going to delay?" the data body asked, raising his head.
"I just have a few questions," Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead - she could no longer feel her limbs. "Haven't you heard of the so-called 'Give me a clear death'?"
"It's not actually death."
After a pause, the data body finally slowly lowered its head and met her eyes. "If I have to use an analogy, it should be said that your life was frozen in an instant, just like Otzi the Iceman. The difference is that you can still act again, and the similarity is that your life and Otzi's life are frozen. We can't go on."
Maybe it was Lin Sanjiu's illusion, but data bodies seemed to be generally keen on "answers." The data body that originally tried to get her to immigrate was like this, and so is this one.
"What do you want to ask?" The data subject tilted his head slightly, "It's best to hurry up, I have to go back to work."
What's wrong with Lin Sanjiu? Of course she just wanted to delay.
"Wha, what job?"
"This has nothing to do with you."
"Then - have I seen you before?" As soon as the question came out, she sighed secretly.
"No."
"Why do we have to be part of the information base?"
“The more, the merrier.”
She obviously didn't ask the right question, and the answers she got were too short; Teacher Yi also whispered in her mind: "You have to think of a question that makes it have something to say!"
Lin Sanjiu racked her brains, but she didn't know what questions to ask to stop the other party from talking. The data body raised its chin slightly, as if it was about to start the "swallowing" process again; at this critical moment, even she did not expect that a sudden light flashed in her mind - it turned out that the "Eureka" was activated at the right time. once.
Is it because [Nothing is a Book] is still open? Do the effects of these two special items stack?
"By the way," Lin Sanjiu asked quickly before she had time to think about it, "You just said you didn't expect that solving our task would take so long, right?"
"Yes." The data subject's jaw paused, "So what?"
"You claim to have the answer to everything and have the truth that can solve the ultimate question of the universe, so why can't you predict this little thing?" Lin Sanjiu didn't have to worry about whether his tone was mean, because the data body might It is the least form of "life" that cannot be angered. "I thought you just didn't know how to create offspring, but now it seems you don't know a lot."
The data subject looked at her quietly for a while, and finally spoke slowly: "The answer to your question actually involves two elements."
Great!
Lin Sanjiu almost made a sound out of excitement - obviously his next answer would be a long one. The longer the data body's answer is, the greater the possibility that the Supreme God and the gift bag will find her; now she must find a way to inform those two of her location while the other party is talking...
"In some ways, we are similar to humans - not surprising, we are similar to many forms of life. Like you and many other intelligent beings, it is important for us Generally speaking, there are two types of unknowns, one is the 'known unknown' and the other is the 'unknown unknown'."
Lin Sanjiu quickly interrupted: "I don't understand."
"For example, what kind of task it would be to solve a group of five of you and how long it would take to complete it. This is a 'known unknown'; in other words, I know what I don't know. Human beings often live in An illusion that can partially predict the future, and many calculation and statistical tools have been invented for this purpose, such as the Gaussian bell curve. Human society is full of fallacious measurement and prediction methods, and the most fatal thing is that there is not enough calculation Ability, so among the billions—or even more—factors that may or may not have an impact on the future, you cannot identify or calculate. This is why chaos theory was born, and why you think the butterfly effect is so fascinating. ."
"As for the data body, although the 'known unknown' exists, it is just a problem to be solved. As long as we are willing, we can use an amount of calculations that you cannot imagine to accurately calculate the position of a billiard ball. The relationship between the motion trajectory on the desktop and the rotation of a planet in outer space. ~IndoMTL.com~ The data body seems to have deliberately used the most straightforward language. Even Lin Sanjiu can understand its meaning: "So I will give you a simple answer As for the problem, I can say that I just didn't use this calculation, so I didn't expect that this unexpected task would turn into overtime. ”
It has said so much, why haven’t the Supreme God and the gift package arrived yet?
"Then the unknown unknown refers to..." Lin Sanjiu asked bravely, hoping to delay it for a little longer.
"It's very simple, it means I don't know what I don't know." The data subject immediately replied, "So I can't give you an example."
"Just...that's it?"
"Yes, I believe I have answered your question." The data body said quietly, "One thing I want to point out is that I have always understood why you are stalling for time."
Lin Sanjiu was stunned.
"If you are waiting for your two companions, then I have to give up your idea. They will not come to you..."
"Impossible!"
"Don't worry, listen to me. The reason they won't come to you is that they have already received a Lin Sanjiu, and they are trying to figure out how to get out of the light thread."
