Chapter 3 Chapter One

Xianyun packed his luggage in the bedroom.She is 45 years old and a capable working woman.Her figure still maintains the curves of her youth, and she is dressed casually, wearing a fine canvas hunting suit, sneakers, and her long hair is loosely tied behind her head.These simple attires cannot conceal her noble temperament, but her beauty has been filled with the vicissitudes of time. There is a medium-sized PVC suitcase on her bed, and the clothes are almost packed.She looked up and scanned the room. On the light blue wall was a group photo of her and her husband Pu Zhongzhe, and a family photo of her when she was young, including grandma, parents, her and Xiao Yuanyuan. Out of a deep warmth and joy.She took it off, looked at it carefully, and sighed softly.

The mother came in with a piece of clothes that had just been delivered from the laundry, and looked at her daughter with a smile.The corners of the daughter's eyes have been engraved with fine lines, which are the traces left by more than 20 years of wind and frost on the African wasteland.she asked: "Tomorrow's plane?" Xianyun nodded.Mom couldn't help but persuaded again: "Yun'er, you are not young anymore, how long are you going to stay in Africa?" "Professor Thomas is 58 years old and still running." Mom sighed and stopped persuading. "Okay, you have to be careful. Shooting wild animals is hard and dangerous. Every time you go out, the mother is always worried about it until you come back."

Xianyun smiled and put his arms around his mother's shoulders: "My mother, don't worry, I am already a veteran in this field. Don't forget that Kenya is also in the 21st century. Except for nature reserves, the living conditions there are not as good as Beijing is inferior. Besides, for a Boeing 797 with a speed of Mach 4, the journey from Nairobi to Beijing is only four or five hours. Don’t worry.” Mom went out and started preparing today's meal.Xianyun thought, when mother puts on an apron to do housework, no one will recognize her as Professor Zhuo Qingyu, an internationally renowned composer.As the wife of a biologist, many of her inspirations come from all kinds of life in the vast world.Her "Dinosaur Symphony" is quite famous in the world. In the music, you can hear the ferocity and arrogance of Tyrannosaurus rex, and the docility, clumsiness and cuteness of Ceratosaurus.But whether fierce or gentle, they are vigorous and strong beings.Then the melody changed from high-spirited and powerful to tragic fate. The dinosaur family that ruled the earth gradually declined in the irresistible disaster, and the horn of the hell messenger appeared and disappeared in the music.At the end of the music, the last dinosaur in the world can be heard screaming, as if it is angrily questioning the heaven and earth, questioning the impermanent fate.

Once, when my mother was playing "Mother's Love and Death", she suddenly found 7-year-old Xianyun's eyes filled with tears.She asked her daughter what she heard?Xianyun choked up and said, listening to this piece of music, she couldn't help thinking of many biological habits that her father said: when she was extremely hungry, the lioness fought desperately with the male lion who stole the cubs; the female octopus would not eat after laying eggs. Drink, turn the eggs patiently and meticulously with your arms and feet to ensure that the eggs can get enough oxygen. Before the baby octopus is born, the mother octopus dies from exhaustion...

The mother embraced Xiao Xianyun excitedly, tears rolling down her cheeks.Since then, she has devoted herself to cultivating her daughter's musical talent.Unfortunately, she didn't succeed.Since the age of 15, Xianyun has firmly chosen the volunteer of wildlife research.She feels that deep in her body and mind, in her genetic code, the wildness left by human ancestors is engraved, so she is eager to face the wild nature. The mother was very disappointed, but she did not force her daughter, which made Xianyun often feel ashamed. She walked to the living room and turned on the computer screen.This is a terminal of Wolfe's main computer in the School of Life Sciences. The computer-synthesized face of Wolfe flashed on the screen immediately. It smiled gracefully and said in a melodious baritone voice:

"Ma'am, the Wolf computer is at your command." Wolf computer was the world's first-class computer 30 years ago, with audio-visual functions, and its synthetic face is a symbol of the computer's "personality".It also has a simple emotional function, especially when Xiao Yuanyuan talks to it, it will mobilize the lines on the face to form the most brilliant smile.Xianyun smiled and ordered: "Wolf, please inform my husband that today is Yuan Yuan's birthday. We made an appointment to go out to play, please don't forget." Wolf replied with a smile: "Yes, ma'am. Please tell Yuan Yuan that his friend Wolf wishes him a happy birthday."

Xianyun smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Wolfe." "I wish you a safe journey tomorrow too, ma'am." "thanks." Mom has put on her coat and is about to go out. She hastily confessed: "I'm going to school, and I have class at 10 o'clock. You guys try to come back before 7 o'clock in the evening. The birthday cake has been ordered. Wait a while and Wolf will notify the chain store to deliver some dishes. Where's your father?" Xianyun glanced at the study room, smiled wryly and said, "He's sulking in the study room again, every time I say to take Yuan Yuan out to play, he's always like this."

Mom can only smile wryly: "This strange old man." Xianyun said excitedly: "I really don't understand why Dad has been so hostile to Yuanyuan for 37 years. He never let Yuanyuan out of his sight, but he never looked at him at home! Do you remember? How much did Yuanyuan’s father love him before he was 5 years old? Even I was jealous and felt that my father was partial. Why is he like this now.” Mom looked at Xianyun seriously.This is exactly what she has been puzzling over for 37 years.Where did that talented and open-minded Kong Zhaoren go?Now he lives like a black ghost, tormenting himself and his family.She has always kept these bitterness deep in her heart and never told others.She said solemnly:

"Yun'er, you have to understand your father. He was brilliant when he was young, and he was a leader in the field of biology. Yuan Yuan devoted all his efforts to him. But when Yuan Yuan was 5 years old, his mental development stopped suddenly, and even his body stopped growing. This time Failure completely overwhelmed your father, and his character has been severely distorted. Yuner, I still think your father is a genius until now, but not every genius can succeed. Your father has fallen into the quagmire of DNA—according to him Said that he wanted to find the soul of life in the DNA code——exhausted his talents.” The mother said sadly: “Actually, the saddest thing is not his failure, but his admission of failure. As early as 30 years ago, he Completely gave up trying. Your father's heart has been drowned in darkness, without a glimmer of hope. How did he survive these years."

Xianyun and his mother were relatively silent.Xianyun has known about these situations for a long time, but this is the first time he heard it from his mother.She sympathized with her mother.After a short pause, she smiled wryly: "Mom, it's not that I don't understand my father. I don't want to go against his wishes, but it's too pitiful that Yuan Yuan has been living in his shadow for 37 years. Tian try to take Yuan Yuan to relax." Mom said: "Okay, don't talk about this, just take Yuan Yuan out to play, blame the old man and let me deal with it. I'm leaving."

Wolf's computer-generated face appears in the main computer room: "Mr. Park, madam, please pay attention to today's schedule. She and Yuan Yuan are waiting for you." Park Chung-cheol and his assistants just finished the preparations before the calculation, he nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away, thank you." Wolfe hesitated for a moment. At this moment, it must have searched and screened tens of millions of emotional rules, and then it said: "Mr. Park, I hope this calculation can give a definite result." It said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my ability is limited, and I can't do more for you." Park Chung Chul said lovingly: "No, you did a good job, the responsibility lies with us." The Wolf computer has been working in the Institute of Life Sciences for 40 years. Due to many expansions and updates, it has a computing power of ten trillion operations per second.It can easily deal with any human password - it doesn't even need to analyze it, only brute force attacks on the password, and it can try all the possibilities in a short time.But for deciphering the "soul of life", no computer of any kind in the world can do anything.This is God's most guarded secret. Therefore, Park Chung-cheol had no choice but to adopt the original method: first, he and his assistants chose a possible correct direction according to the guidance of intuition, and then set up a calculation framework for Wolff, and then handed over the hope to the goddess of fate.Even so, Wolf spent more than a hundred hours each time doing intense calculations. Over 20 years, they have failed 139 times. Park Chung-cheol smiled and said to his assistants: "After finishing the finishing work, you should rest and recharge your energy to prepare for tomorrow's calculations." Both Professor Sergey and Dr. Tajima smiled and nodded.It was an unspoken pact that they kept their mouths shut about predictions of success.Because everyone knows that the possibility of success is too small, and they are almost destined to be heroes of failure.Park Chongzhe said: "Xianyun will go to Africa tomorrow, and today I will go shopping with her and Yuan Yuan. First, I will go to the Beijing Gymnasium to watch the computer-human brain chess game, and then I will take a helicopter to Qingdao to see the sea." Professor Sergey is also a chess fan, he proudly said: "It's the contest between Kubakin and Deep Computer. He is a national hero of Russia. He defeated the previous chess champion Kasheparov at the age of seventeen. He has dominated the chess world for twenty years. And he is the only one in the world who can compete with It's the computer that decides." "However, the last two contests were won by deep computers," Tajima said. Park Chung-cheol nodded: "Yes. The competition between the deep series of computers (deep blue, darker blue, deep thinking, deep red, etc.) and the human brain began at the end of the last century. A team of scientists composed of Xu Haifeng and others compiled software for the computer. The last chess champion Kasheparov defeated the computer many times, but in his later years, he lost more than he won. The computer's chess skills are developing rapidly, and the current chess champion Kubakin is even more difficult to parry. By the way, Professor Sergei , I know you are very good at chess, have you ever played chess with Yuan Yuan from my family? I have no defense against him." Sergey smiled: "Only played once. His chess skills are too bad! In my opinion, Kubakin may not be his opponent!" Park Chongzhe said with a smile: "It's a pity that Yuan Yuan can't replace humans in the war." From the School of Life Sciences to Yannan Garden, Park Chung-cheol has always been on foot.He walked through the path surrounded by lush forests, and the college students coming across from him nodded and said hello to him from time to time.They are full of vigor, and most of the girls have put on brightly colored short skirts.Park Chongzhe suddenly realized that it is already early summer. Since he devoted himself to this research 20 years ago and worked hard every day, he seems to have lost the concept of the four seasons, but his efforts have not been rewarded, and victory has been elusive.Sometimes, despair is like mold, secretly breeding from dark corners.He always worked hard to eradicate the mold, never showing himself weak in front of his colleagues and family. Xianyun was waiting for him at the door. He hugged his wife and kissed her lightly on the forehead: "Let's go, where is Yuanyuan?" "He's in the video game room, I'm going to call him now." "Let's go, I'll go too." They could hear laughter and shouts in the video game room from afar.Pushing open the door, four children are playing a simulation game.They sit in control chairs, wearing eyepieces and spiked gloves.When they fly through the thorn glove, the thorn sensor will input the relevant information into the computer, and a realistic space combat scene will appear in the eyepiece.At this time, Xiao Yuanyuan plays the role of the earthlings, and Xiao Gang and Xiao Lin play the alien robots.Four-year-old girl Xiaoying sat behind Yuan Yuan, she suddenly screamed: "Behind! Yuanyuan, behind!" Xiaogang's spaceship attempted to sneak attack from behind, and his aiming halo was almost on Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan was quick-eyed, pulled the nose, the spaceship leaped into the vast and deep space, and then swooped down like a meteor, the halo was quickly put on Xiao Gang's spaceship was shot, several lasers flashed, Xiao Gang's spaceship was blown apart, and he fell into the depths of space screaming. In the real environment, Xiao Gang reluctantly stood up from the control chair and withdrew from the game. Xiaolin's spaceship was sunk soon, Xiaoying shouted happily: "Yuanyuan, you are really good! The earthlings have won again!" The little space knight giggled, his little face radiated with brilliance, and he looked around freely on the control chair. Xianyun and her husband looked at each other and smiled.They have never had children since their marriage, so emotionally speaking, younger brother Yuan Yuan is more like their son.They love Xiao Yuanyuan very much, love his kind heart, like his innocence, liveliness, childishness and cuteness.There is only one point that always falls heavily in their hearts: in terms of physical age, Yuan Yuan is 42 years old, but his mind has not been able to break through the ignorance of 5 years old. Xianyun walked into the game environment.In Yuan Yuan's eyepiece, a kindly and majestic female commander stepped onto the podium, wearing a spacesuit with a shining star on the neckline.She ordered: "Congratulations, Yuan Yuan, it's time for you to return!" Yuan Yuan took off the eyepiece and shouted happily: "Sister Xianyun, Brother Pu!" He took off the thorny gloves and rushed over, Xianyun held him in his arms: "Yuanyuan, goodbye to the children, we are going out." Several children said goodbye to them politely: "Goodbye, Uncle Pu, Aunt Kong. Yuan Yuan, we will come to play tomorrow!" When Xianyun talked to Yuan Yuan, she never expected that her father was observing Yuan Yuan's every move through a secret camera lens. This is the study of Professor Kong Zhaoren.Thick oak doors, heavy velvet curtains, black high-back chairs, and dark brown desks.Professor Kong never allowed the curtains to be opened when he was at home, so the light in the study was dim and the atmosphere was suffocating. At the moment, 73-year-old Professor Kong is buried in a high-backed swivel chair, watching the screen in front of him with gloomy eyes.He saw Xianyun fully dressed for Yuan Yuan and brought picnic food and utensils.Yuan Yuan, who was bored at home all day, couldn't wait any longer, and asked repeatedly: "Shall we go to the sea after the chess game? Are there any seagulls there? Are there fiddler crabs? Sister, I haven't been there for a year." Look at the sea!" Xianyun went from the kitchen to Yuanyuan's bedroom, while he was busy, while answering Yuanyuan's barrage of questions with a smile.Professor Kong also followed them and switched the screen back and forth.Finally, I heard Xianyun say: "Yuan Yuan, go and say goodbye to Dad, we're leaving!" Professor Kong turned off the screen, he pressed the remote control, and the screen turned into a portrait of Confucius and then fixed.To outsiders, this is just a beautifully framed traditional Chinese painting. An unmanned helicopter landed lightly in the yard, and the airflow from the rotors pressed the green grass on the ground.This was pre-booked by Xianyun from the helicopter rental company.Before Yuan Yuan could enter the house to say goodbye, his father had already appeared at the door.Yuan Yuan greeted him and stretched out his hands: "Goodbye, Dad. Dad, come and play with us, too, okay?" Father looked indifferent, but when he saw Yuan Yuan's "reproaching" gaze, he finally bent down and hugged Yuan Yuan.Yuan Yuan, who often longed for his father's caress, immediately smiled brightly, which was a kind of laugh lines from the heart.Xianyun and Chongzhe exchanged glances, and sighed lightly, father is really unfair to such a loving and loving boy like Yuanyuan! The door of the plane opened automatically, Park Chongzhe sat in the driver's seat, and his father silently handed Yuanyuan to Xianyun in the back row.Before closing the cabin door, Yuan Yuan stood up and waved to his father: "Goodbye, Dad!" The father was silent, watching the little angel helicopter flying up into the sky nimbly, circling a little over the yard, then rising rapidly like a dragonfly, and melting into the background of blue sky. He went back to the study, took a few things in a hurry and went to the yard.Soon another small black spot appeared on the horizon.The black spot quickly became larger, and a Cherub helicopter of the same model landed in front of him.He opened the door and sat in. As the helicopter skimmed the lower part of the clouds, the buildings and streets on the ground swirled like a kaleidoscope.This is an electric aircraft powered by a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell, with very little noise, except for the whistling wind outside the porthole. Yuan Yuan has been lying in her sister's arms, talking in a whisper, this pair of siblings is more like a pair of mother and son.Xianyun told him: "Yuanyuan, Wolf Computer wants me to tell you that it wishes you a happy birthday." Yuan Yuan said proudly: "Wolf is my best best friend. Sister, when you are not at home, brother Park is too busy, I often play with Wolfe. Play chess, play simulation games, drill mazes, talk Story. Sister, only Wolf can be my opponent in chess." He suddenly remembered something, tilted his head and asked: "Sister, Xiao Lin and Xiao Gang only have one fifth birthday, how can I be too old? I have already passed 37 fifth birthdays!" Xianyun was speechless.Zhongzhe raised his eyes to look at her from the rearview mirror, Xianyun only responded with a wry smile.She couldn't understand why, as a "whole" person, Yuan Yuan, who was extremely intelligent in chess and mathematics, could never break through his ignorance.Therefore, this ridiculously silly question is actually soaked in bitterness. She racked her brains and tried to word her words, trying to give Yuan Yuan a suitable answer.But Yuanyuan is like other children with ADHD, his thinking has already jumped aside: "Sister, why doesn't mom come to play?" Xianyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom has class today." "Sister, can Uncle Kuba Kim win today?" "What do you say?" Yuan Yuan frowned like an adult: "It's quite dangerous. What if Uncle Kubajin loses again? Is there anyone else who can defeat the computer?" "Yes, and our little knight." Yuan Yuan smiled triumphantly: "Really, I'm not afraid of computers." Xianyun and her husband exchanged another wry smile in the rearview mirror.The ignorant Yuan Yuan still doesn't know that he doesn't actually belong to human beings!The newly built Tianhe Gymnasium is in the middle of a green field, and its silver-white roof glistens in the sunlight.This is a suspension cable structure with a large span, but the suspension cables cannot be seen, because the extremely strong transparent membrane roof also acts as a cable.Thousands of electric vehicles gathered around the stadium like densely packed beetles, and more than 100 helicopters were neatly parked on the tarmac.Park Chung-cheol pulled down the joystick, and the helicopter began to circle and descend.
