Yue Pengju only asked through Jian Xingde, and an hour later he saw Princess Zhu Cixia.

The princess looked more anxious than him and hurried into the laboratory.

Yue Pengju breathed a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later, the princess came out.

"How is it? Have you persuaded him to stop?" Yue Pengju asked.

The princess nodded thoughtfully, then took Jian Xingde upstairs to Lin You's house. After a while, she and Jian Xingde walked into the laboratory again holding a set of clean sheets, blankets and pillows.

Then Jian Xingde walked out of the laboratory with a change of bedding, threw it to Yue Pengju who looked confused, and drove away in a hurry.

Yue Pengju stood there holding the sheets and pillows, looking at the direction Jian Xingde left, and then at the door of the laboratory, and couldn't help but think about it——

A man and a woman were alone in the same room, and they were specially replaced with new sheets and quilts...

This is... something is going to happen!!

He felt a little flustered for no reason, and even felt his forehead beginning to sweat.

But of course he couldn't run in and cause havoc - a talented man and a beautiful woman were a perfect match, so it was his turn as a bodyguard to oppose her?

Yue Pengju not only did not intend to cause damage, but stood at the only entrance and exit of the laboratory, with his back straight and alertly paying attention to the movements around him.

Although it is impossible no matter how you think about it, what if there are paparazzi?

Half an hour later, the paparazzi did not appear, but Jian Xingde appeared again, and - holding an unopened set of women's clothing in his hand!

Yue Pengju was greatly shocked!

This undoubtedly further confirmed what he had just thought, and...

Are your clothes even torn?!

This...this...how inappropriate is this!

Seeing Jian Xingde walking over with clothes in his hands calmly, Yue Pengju was very surprised: "You..."

"What's wrong?" Jian Xingde saw that Yue Pengju was still holding the sheets for washing, and he was a little confused: "What do you want to say? And why didn't you send the sheets to be washed? Why are you standing here stupidly?

Do you also need someone to teach you? Well, I know that asking a master like you to do these housekeeping tasks is indeed a bit overqualified. I can understand your opinions, but look..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Seeing that the princess was not around, Jian Xingde started to talk nonsense again. Yue Pengju quickly interrupted, "Don't you think that the little cabbage that you worked so hard to raise was... given to by a pig with high IQ?

?”

"???" Jian Xingde didn't understand, "What do you mean? My daughter is only 6 years old. Is there something wrong with you?"

"No, no!" Yue Pengju waved his hand repeatedly and had to point to the laboratory with his finger, "I mean this..."

"???" Jian Xingde didn't understand anymore, so he pulled him away, opened the door and walked in, "Crazy."

"Wait!" Yue Peng waved to stop him, but Jian Xingde didn't look back.

He had to follow quickly, for fear that Jian Xingde would see something he shouldn't see.

But after entering the laboratory, what he saw made Yue Pengju disappointed... and breathed a sigh of relief.

——Lin You did lie down to sleep, but Princess Zhu Cixia did not lie down in bed. Instead, she sat on the edge of the sofa, holding Lin You's hand and feeling lost in thought. She didn't know what she was thinking.

Yue Pengju was a little confused. He cautiously approached Jian Xingde's ear and asked softly: "Why are you going to buy clothes?"

Jian Xingde also replied in a low voice: "The princess said she wanted to be Lin You's experimental assistant and help with the work. The clothes she was wearing were not convenient, so she asked me to buy something neat."

After entering the temperature-controlled laboratory lounge, the little princess took off her coat, revealing the long skirt underneath.

Yue Pengju didn't know much about clothing, but at first glance he felt it was expensive and didn't look like everyday wear.

"Were you attending an event before the princess came?"

"Yes." Jian Xingde nodded, "A foreign affairs reception event was just over and I was planning to go home. When I heard the news, I ran over directly and didn't have time to change clothes."

The princess noticed them and was a little shy, but she did not let go of Lin You's hand. Instead, she put the index finger of her other hand in front of her mouth and made a quiet gesture to them.

Jian Xingde nodded silently, put down the clothes in his hands, and left silently with Yue Pengju.

After the two left, the princess fell into a trance again.

But after a while, she suddenly felt someone gently poke her arm. She turned her head curiously and found that it was Xiao Meng.

She asked with her eyes: 'What's wrong?'

Xiao Meng shook her head and said nothing. She rested her chin on her arms and lay on the back of the sofa. She and Zhu Cixia looked at Lin You in a daze.

…

…

Lin You slept for a whole afternoon.

When I woke up, I saw Zhu Cixia and Xiao Meng in a daze.

There is a warm and delicate touch in the palm of your hand. With a gentle squeeze, you can vaguely feel the palm prints on the palm of your hand, the tiny villi on the back of your hand, and the faint pulsation of blood vessels under the smooth skin.

There was silence in the laboratory, and it was precisely because of this silence that he felt more clearly these details that would have been subconsciously ignored in the past.

For a moment, he was even a little surprised.

Then I was moved by the amazing information richness in the real world.

When you hold your hands together in the virtual world, you can certainly feel the temperature of each other's palms, but it is so delicate and subtle that even in the continuous dynamic changes, the different tactile differences caused by changes in fingerprints and pores can be finely presented...

This is something that the virtual world cannot do.

Even if you force simulation, it cannot cover everything.

And isn't this the reason why he always has a grudge against the consciousness chip?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little hesitant: Did making Sisi a digital being really save her life?

Is becoming an electronic ghost really the only option?

Ever since I met Sisi in the hospital and learned that she was terminally ill, this was the first time that this idea came to my mind.

At that time, he had been busy researching and developing consciousness chips. When he learned that Sisi was terminally ill, his first thought was naturally about consciousness chips.

Later, because the research and development of the chip did not go smoothly, I stayed up late all night, trained intensively, and was so mentally stressed that I had no time to care about anything else.

Until the sudden arrival of the princess broke his somewhat obsessed state, he had another good sleep, and finally woke up leisurely in this comfortable and peaceful environment. His tense nerves were finally relaxed, he felt refreshed and his mind was clear.

Then, IQ finally regained the high ground.

On the one hand, he thought that while giving up reality, he also needed to give up several other things.

Not only is the material world richer and more solid in its details, but more importantly - unknowns and possibilities.

After being transformed into a digital life, everything you can get is the "known" provided by others, and there is no more "unknown". Thousands of possibilities about the future will collapse into just a few.

This invisible price is actually heavier than the specific "perception".

On the other hand, and more importantly: are there any other options?

When Lin You tried to put aside the [Consciousness Chip], which was right in front of him, with an astonishing sense of presence, almost shouting "Choose me, choose me" to think about other possibilities, there was indeed one thing, slowly

Gradually rising to the surface from the deep lake of memory.

That is a technology that has been successfully decrypted earlier than consciousness chips, secondary artificial intelligence, and adversarial attack technology.

The original name of that technology was not bioelectric muscle stimulation technology, let alone a game warehouse.

Its original name is——

【Hibernation Warehouse】!

Lin You began to quickly search through his memories.

Why did you turn this technology into a game warehouse in the first place?

"Many key drugs are not available in this world, and some organic matter cannot be synthesized with current technology. There is also a very important symbiotic bacteria that is not available in this world. Without these, safe dormancy and awakening cannot be achieved."

The technical problems that Xiaomeng explained to him at the beginning quickly reappeared in his brain.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized:

The missing organic matter seems to be all organic proteins. With the help of artificial protein editing technology in the consciousness chip technical information, this missing part can be filled.

Since the problem of sleeping and waking up is so troublesome, then we might as well not sleep at all!

It was completely unimaginable in an era before the birth of the virtual world to have the body remain awake to a certain extent when the body is put into cryogenic hibernation.

Regardless of the difficulty, just the thought of being imprisoned in the prison of the body can drive people crazy.

But now, as long as consciousness is introduced into the virtual world, this worry can be easily solved, and consciousness can always be kept active at a lower level.

You don't even need a consciousness chip, just modify the mirage to achieve this.

Of course, if consciousness chips can be used to build a more stable physical connection, it will be more effective and safer.

In this way, it seems that the problem has gone around again - we still have to study consciousness chips, and Sisi still has to live like a digital life, but there is an essential difference:

She was not truly transformed, nor did her body die.
