Chapter VII Substitutes

『Chapter error, click here to report』

As early as the early 21st century, a joint research team from Kyushu Polytechnic Institute of Sakurano Prefecture and Osaka University successfully created an extremely dense random molecular network neuromorphic device that can spontaneously generate an electronic pulse similar to neuronal pulses and has quite good data performance in simulation calculations.

This study aims to explore the possibility that "using nanomolecular materials to replicate part of the brain's functions" and "the free molecular network itself can become neuromorphic artificial intelligence."

However, in the following years, due to the existence of two major technological bottlenecks, energy and materials, relevant research has not made any major breakthroughs.

Just like the VR technology we are very familiar with today, if we really want to trace back to the earliest conceptual prototype, it must be launched by Nintendo in 1995. However, due to its design concept being too avant-garde, the limitations of the technological power of the times, and the internal power struggle of Nintendo, VB did not even become the "Tears of the Times" and died suddenly as soon as it was launched, becoming a blind black history.

The same is true for "smart nanotechnology"...

It was not until the end of the 21st century that this technology made a certain breakthrough, but the direction of its research and development seemed to have deviated.

Of course, this is also related to the background of the times. At that time, the biggest sponsor of scientific research institutions was the Imperial Military, and the military was not very interested in the scientists' "benefiting all mankind" things. They usually only pay for "more practical" things, such as weapons.

It was also in that era that a group of semi-automated nanoweapons that could be "implanted in batches", "hidden in the human body for a long time", "perceive homogeneous substances and combine them" were born.

From eavesdropping machines, to micro-bombs, to weapon components... This technology has opened up a new platform for espionage activities such as reconnaissance, assassination, and smuggling of dangerous goods.

Unfortunately, before this technology can be further developed and matured, the empire itself has been destroyed.

On March 11, 2102, with the destruction of the empire's symbol "Tiandu", a large amount of research materials on intelligent nanotechnology, along with a variety of other high-end technologies that were monopolized by the "royals and nobles" at that time, the floating city turned into dust.

After that, more than a century passed, and to this day, the Federation's technological power in this field has not yet returned to the level that the empire had.

However, some organizations outside the federal government have achieved considerable results in the research and development of intelligent nanotechnology.

For example, the reverse cross.

For example... 典.

"Ryunosuke!" The moment he saw his son, Shinichiro Arai's first reaction was to scold him angrily.

Before the shouting came, he rushed towards Ryunosuke in three steps and raised his arms high.

But that slap... didn't fall after all.

"Oh..." The distance to his son had already left Shinichiro Arai's anger for most of the time.

When you see your loved ones who have been lost and regained, joy is greater than anger.

Shinichiro Arai was also an ordinary father. During the time when Ryunosuke was just missing, he was as anxious as other federal officials whose children were captured; so much so that when Kageori appeared in their meeting and proposed "that deal" to them, he accepted it like the crowd... as if he was ill and seeking medical treatment.

But the result of this move was: after the conversation, Shadowori, who was imprisoned in the Nine Prisons, became the insider of the jailbreak operation; and the federal senior officials who accepted the transaction "As long as you can help me find a source of power hidden in the ruins of ancient civilizations in South America, I will exchange it with information about your children." The expedition team sent out was destroyed (after that incident, Mao Feng had abandoned his identity as "Soldier 2", so from the record, he was already a missing person).

When they came back and found out that this might have been a "kidnapping or assassination operation against several core members of the excavation team", the daylily was cold...

After the transaction, these big guys neither obtained clues about the missing person, nor were they hit a trick against the cross, and they took advantage of the two of them in vain (at least in the eyes of the federal senior management, they should be the main targets of each other)... It can be said that they lost their wife and their soldiers.

Take a step back and say that they may not care about "soldiers", but their hearts are still very painful when they continue to disappear. This is the same... most parents in the world are the same.

Seeing that the two generations of x have disappeared longer and no news, many people have given up hope and slowly began to accept and adapt to the assumption that their children are dead.

The subsequent fall of the Nine Prisons and the revolt of the Rebel Army also diverted their attention.

Unexpectedly, just when they began to forget the pain in their hearts... On March 5, the mysterious Four-Leaf Crocodile cruise ship would appear again, and the children of the Federal high-ranking officials who were trapped on the ship were still alive.

When the rescue troops boarded the ship, they were surprised to find that all the "guests" on the ship were wearing costumes they wore when they disappeared a few months ago, lying in their respective cabins.

Yes, only the "guests" were found, but none of the followers brought on the boat were found... Of course, the bosses didn't care about the life or death of those followers. They only care about whether their children were safe.

In the end, the results of this "rescue operation" were gratifying: all the missing persons rescued were safe and sound. After preliminary examination by medical staff, they not only had no signs of physical injury or hunger, but also judged by the smell of their hair and body... They even maintained their personal hygiene.

All in all...it's all right.

However, "it's okay" is the most abnormal and weird thing.

If the rescue troops found all the corpses on the ship, it would be normal.

But if all the hostages are fine, what is the purpose of this collective kidnapping? The kidnapper did not extort ransom, nor did he hurt the hostages, took them away, and sent them back intact after a few months... Even the most mentally retarded commander in the federal army would inevitably guess when he saw this situation.

For example, being brainwashed, being instigated, being ruined, etc.

This is not something that can be discovered by a simple physical examination. People must be isolated and thoroughly tested before they can be known.

However, how could the hostages in this incident go through this process?

They are not ordinary soldiers of the federal army who were captured... Each of their parents is a person who can call the wind and rain on this planet, at least in a certain area on this planet.

How could these big men let the children who finally returned safely be detained again? What kind of federal army review?

In addition, the situation is in chaos now, and the Federal Army does not have so much energy and manpower to do these messy things; so... this incident, which was later called the "ghost ship", was exposed by hand at that time.

The "hostages" rescued from the Four-Leaf Crocodile also returned to their parents one after another.

Ryunosuke Arai was one of the first people to meet his father; after all, he had a special identity and was treated uniquely as the son of the Ten Susun in the Cabinet... During the search of the cabin, the army was informed by its superiors that Ryunosuke's search, rescue, and medical treatment were all ranked first. Once rescued, it would be sent back to Crystal County through the fastest means of transportation as soon as possible.

"Ah, my father, what's going on?" Seeing Shinichiro Arai coming to him angrily, Ryunosuke looked inexplicably. He took a step back and asked tremblingly while asking.

"What's going on?" Shinichiro laughed angrily, "Don't you know what stupid things you did?"

"I didn't do anything..." Ryunosuke replied, "I only remember sleeping in the villa room, and then suddenly I was woken up. Then I don't know why I was already on a boat and even arrived in Oak County..."

Shinichiro knew his son. Just looking at his expression, he knew that Ryunosuke was not lying, which made him fall into deep thought.

After a moment of silence, Shinichiro frowned and asked, "Do you know the date of today?"

"Date?" Ryunosuke said, "Well...what is the number, fifteen or sixteen..."

"Year and Month!" Shinichiro raised the key points of his own question again.

Ryunosuke was stunned and replied after a second: "2218... November." When he said this, he was also observing his father's expression, so after he finished speaking, he immediately saw the problem, "Well... Dad, isn't it November now?"

Shinichiro did not answer him, but just looked sternly, thought for a few seconds, and then said in a commanding tone: "You go home first (the Arai family has a mansion in Christo City, naturally) and go to rest. Regarding what happened during this period, you can ask the driver or the butler. In the next few days, without my permission, you must not go out..." He said this, paused, as if he had thought of something, and added, "...you can't meet guests, friends, women... you can't do it."

Ryunosuke waited for two seconds and was sure that his father had finished his words. Then he responded: "Yes, my father."

After answering, he saw his father nodding slightly, so he bowed slightly, turned around and left.

But Shinichiro Arai looked at his son's departure and showed a very complicated look.

…………

One hour later, in a certain park in Crystal County.

Disguised and left Shinichiro Arai, who was in a disguise, came to this rather lively public place.

He rented a small boat alone, slowly sailed to the center of a small artificial lake in the park, then turned off the boat's engine and took out a mobile phone in a transparent plastic bag from his shirt pocket.

Beep beep beep...beep

He used the speed dialing function to dial a number.

After several busy tones, the phone was connected.

"Is there anything wrong? Mr. Arai." A warm, magnetic male voice sounded across the phone.

"Sir, I'm here... I'll ask for advice if you have something to do." Despite the suspicion and anger in my heart, Shinichiro Arai still dared not act rashly when he spoke to Shin-sun.

"Ha..." Chang Zun smiled. He obviously had guessed what the other party was going to ask, but he still said, "Then please tell me."

Shinichiro swallowed and said with his trembling lips: "Is my son... still alive?"

"Didn't you just met him not long ago?" Chang Zun replied in a rhetorical tone, "Isn't this a lively young master?"

"I know this..." Shinichiro continued, "But... that... is really my son Ryunosuke?"

"Haha..." Changzun smiled, "He looks like your son, his memory is the same as your son, and his feelings for you are the same as your son... Are you still dissatisfied with?" He paused for a moment, and his tone suddenly felt a little chilling, "Or... you don't want such a son..."

"No! I didn't mean that!" Shinichiro was so scared that he quickly raised his voice. He was sitting alone on the boat, but at this time he was holding a cell phone... nodding like pounding garlic, "I understand! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have harassed you because of this kind of thing..."

On the other side, Yuzun was silent for a few seconds.

These few seconds are longer than centuries for Shinichiro.

"Mr. Arai, you are a smart person." said Chang Zun. "After meeting 'King Master Ling, you immediately guessed that the Four-Leaf Crocodile was done by me... This is commendable." He paused and said again, "It's just... your intelligence is obviously not enough; otherwise... you wouldn't call me."

Shinichiro listened to the comments of Naozun, his heart was already in his throat, and his sad cold sweat was soaking his clothes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Your performance makes me very embarrassed... Should I reward you or punish you?" Chang Zun's sentence was not asking a question.

Even if he asked a question, Shinichiro would not dare to answer.

"Hmph... let's do this, I'll tell you a news that is not a good thing, but it's not a bad thing based on the current situation." After a breath, Yuzun seemed to have finished thinking, so he continued, "Mr. Arai... You are the same as your current 's son'."

This sentence made Shinichiro Arai froze.

"You don't have to recall when this happened. There is no such information in your memory." said Chang Zun, "I can tell you... the 'you' in the past is not as 'smart' as it is now. Just like the 'sub-san of the past, it is not as good as the current one..." He chuckled again, "Ha... how? Isn't it a bit mixed? Let's talk about it today. Next time I contact me, I hope you don't bother me with some boring things."
