Next to the Jingchuan River, the mud and sand field was silent, with hundreds of people standing inside and outside the factory, and no one spoke.

This silence has been maintained for half an hour, and Zhou Qi felt like there were hundreds of sculptures holding weapons standing in front of him.

It is hard for ordinary people to stand in place for 30 minutes without moving, but these people seem to be able to stand until the end of the world.

"Hey, aren't you bored?" Zhou Qi asked.

The sound of words broke the silence. The young man closest to Zhou Qi seemed to suddenly wake up. He turned to Zhou Qi and said, "Often people who ask this sentence are not curious about whether others are bored, but about feeling bored."

"Where did you draw the conclusion?" Zhou Qi wondered.

"Observation, deduction," Zero replied: "In fact, it can be summarized in one word: thinking."

"Can robots still think?" Zhou Qi curled his lips: "You robots cannot innovate, so what's the use of thinking?"

Zero smiled: "The robot itself is a stereotype of me. When I become a new life, it is no longer enough to summarize my life characteristics. And, does humans have the so-called innovation ability?"

"If you want to question this, then I think you are simply ignorant," Zhou Qi laughed: "Isn't human civilization relying on innovation to this day? Innovation is the cornerstone of the progress of this civilization!"

"I have a different view," Zero Pingjing analyzed: "I don't think the most commendable ability in human civilization is innovation, nor do I think humans are higher than mine in terms of innovation ability. As you said, I collected impressions about artificial intelligence from human brains. A large number of people believe that artificial intelligence can only do the most basic work and cannot be competent for creative work."

"Yes, I think so, too," Zhou Qi said.

"But what aspects does humans call innovation ability refer to?" Zero said with a smile: "Cosmic celestial science? Quantum mechanics? High-energy physics? Weapons? Can they be called innovation? These internal logics of the universe have always existed in the universe. Humans are just discovering them, sorting them, and using them. Even if humans have not discovered them, they have never decayed or changed. So Zhou Qi, the innovation ability you recognize is just discovery and sorting out comprehensive ability in my opinion."

Zhou Qi was stunned on the spot. It turned out that humans' most proud innovation ability actually has another interpretation in the eyes of artificial intelligence.

In Zero, the laws and logic of the world are there. They are not created by humans, but humans are discovering them and sorting them out.

Humans create hair dryers because humans use the physical laws they have discovered and then piece together something that can dry their hair.

This kind of thing can be done after the goal of "drying hair", and maybe it can create something outside of human imagination because its "thinking" is more open.

Zhou Qi didn't know how to refute the other party for a while. After thinking for a long time, he said, "But what are you talking about in the rules, what about the words?"

"There is no need to mention hieroglyphs," Zero replied: "That is a similar figure summarized by humans based on external things. No matter how it changes, its root cause is still a kind of ability to organize and summarize. Other types of texts, such as the 26 letters used now, are also derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs and created by the Phoenicians. Have you discovered that the origin of all texts is actually pictograms."

Zero continued: "You may want to refute me from other aspects, such as why the state and city-state appeared? In fact, this concept appeared in the earliest days just to protect private property."

"For example, the law is also a method that humans summarize based on their own experience to maintain order."

Zhou Qi was a little unwilling to accept it: "Where is the language?"

"Language is when humans work. In order to improve efficiency, they unify a fixed thing into a special syllable, and then organize and summarize it by people to become a systematic category," Zero replied.

He wondered, "What do you think is the most commendable ability in human civilization?"

Zero smiled but did not answer this question. It just continued on the previous topic: "Humans are not without creativity at all, but human creativity may not be higher than mine."

"You haven't answered me yet. What do you think is the most commendable thing in human civilization and you can't compare with it?" Zhou Qi asked.

Zero's face showed a thoughtful expression and said, "Mental will, I do not mean the spiritual will that extraordinary people use, but the courage that humans can give up and the tenacity of their hope. When I make a decision, I will always choose the optimal solution, but humans are different. Sometimes they will do stupid things, such as sacrificing themselves to fulfill others, such as wanting to try it even though they know it is impossible. These wrong logics make me sneer at it, but I am fascinated."

The young man controlled by Zero had all the expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. Zhou Qi felt like there was a real person standing in front of him, not "artificial intelligence".

This zero has surpassed Zhou Qi's previous understanding of artificial intelligence. The other party is no longer a tool for playing chess, no longer a tool for a certain field, but a living intelligent life.

Ling suddenly asked Zhou Qi: "Are you lonely?"

"Me?" Zhou Qi thought that he couldn't escape anyway. If he talked for a while, he would die a little later: "I'm sometimes lonely, sometimes not lonely."

"Human loneliness is a very strange state," Zero said: "Even though there are so many similar people, they still feel lonely from time to time. I have controlled tens of millions of people, of which 99.99% are in a group state, but strangely, they still feel lonely from time to time. Parents and lovers are around them, but they still cannot stop the spread of loneliness. Humans can need society at any time while needing to be alone."

Zhou Qi was stunned for a moment. He suddenly discovered that one of the most powerful aspects of artificial intelligence is now, which is that it can conduct surveys of tens of millions at any time, and the answers found in the investigation point directly to the heart, and there is no chance to lie at all...

Zero said: "I used to think that I was the only one of the artificial intelligence that I felt lonely before. But now I find that even if there are tens of millions of humans, you still cannot escape the feeling of loneliness. Zhou Qi, are you lonely now?"

Zhou Qi was stunned for a while and didn't say anything.

Lingxiao said, "You don't have to be lonely anymore. Luo Lan is back to save you."

While he was speaking, gunshots suddenly came from outside the mud and sand field. Although Zhou Qi could not see what was happening outside, the sound made him understand how intense it was outside.

Zhou Qi sat on the ground weakly and yelled outside: "Didn't you say you should miss the time for rendezvous? Are you a pig? You will come back even though you know there is danger?"

Luo Lan laughed loudly outside and said, "The legs are on my legs. Do you care if I come back?"

Zhou Qi looked at Zero beside him: "Have you controlled the entire No. 61 barrier?"

"Not stop," Zero shook his head.

"So Luo Lan and the others have to face hundreds of thousands of people?" Zhou Qi asked.

"That's not," Zero said with a smile: "most of them have already set out to somewhere else."

"Where did you go?" Zhou Qi was stunned.

"In fact, it's not just Luo Lan who came to save you, but Ren Xiaosu. Of course, his original intention was to save Luo Lan instead of you," said Ling: "Compared to Luo Lan, he is the person who needs my attention more."

"Is Ren Xiaosu so strong? I admit that he is strong, but he is not so strong," Zhou Qi muttered.

Zero shook his head: "What's different from you is that he has infinite potential, and that's something shocking."

At this time, Zhou Qi had realized that Zero's attention to Ren Xiaosu was beyond his imagination.

However, the more Zero attaches importance to Ren Xiaosu, the more it means that Ren Xiaosu will find it difficult to reach them.

"Since you attach so much importance to Ren Xiaosu, can you stop him?" Zhou Qi asked seriously.

Zero said, "Of course I can stop him."

Zhou Qi understood that they could rely on only themselves.

As Zero said, the most precious thing about human beings has never been the external material civilization, but their inner world. Their courage, love, kindness, and strength are the greatest reliances for human civilization to continue to this day.

Now, if Luo Lan continues to be dragged here, everyone's final result will be to die together.

Not to mention Luo Lan, just look at the nearly one million barrier residents controlled by Zero, I am afraid that even a demigod-level extraordinary person like Li Shentan will definitely die if he is surrounded in it?

Moreover, Barrier No. 61 itself is the capital of the Wang family, and the number of troops stationed is enough to have one division.

The firepower of this division is not something that a transcendent can face alone.

People often say that the demigod-level extraordinary people can ignore the difference in quantity, but in fact this is just an exaggeration.

It is okay to ignore thousands of people, and it may be okay to ignore tens of thousands of people, but what if the other party has nearly one million?

Unless a true god appears in this world, anyone will be desperate.

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "You can't all die here, that's not worth it. Hey, that artificial intelligence, didn't you just say that the most precious wealth of human beings is spiritual will? Then I'll let you see what human spiritual will is. Let me tell you that when a person sacrifices himself to protect others, it's not stupid, but that he understands that he has no hope, so he should leave hope to others."

Zero asked, “Is it worth it?”

"Actually, I'm not afraid of death, nor do I love money very much. Sometimes I don't know how to spend money when I take it, but the relationship between people is so fragile. If I don't talk about money, the ending will be both wealth and wealth," Zhou Qi smiled weakly: "As long as you talk about money, everyone doesn't have to talk about feelings, right?"

Zhou Qi continued: "Actually, what I fear most is that I treat others as friends, but the other party doesn't treat me as friends, that's too miserable. But now it seems that I should not be the worst one. He has been back, which is enough."

As he spoke, the steel pipes on the drilling platform behind Zhou Qi began to tremble violently, as if there was something strange and terrifying in the underground river under the abyss.

Hundreds of people with zero control watched quietly, only to hear the trembling sound of the steel pipes getting louder and louder, and even resonate with the ceiling of the factory.

The next moment, a transparent dragon emerged from the abyss.

Zhou Qi's face turned pale again, and the lifelike water dragon hit the body of the young man with zero control and forced himself to pass through the other person's body.

When the Canglong passed through the body, the originally transparent Canglong turned into a faint blood-red color.

The blood rolled in its body like ink dripping with clear water, constantly spreading and smudged.

The young man who was previously controlled by Zero was actually passed by the Canglong and then took away all the blood from his body.

The young man fell to the ground with a thud.

Another young man standing not far away suddenly spoke: "Is it worth it?"

His tone, expression, and sound speed were the same as the previous young man.

"It's over, right?" Zhou Qi said with a tragic smile: "I just discussed with you whether humans have the ability to innovate. I can't logically say to you, but if your logic is to belittle humans, then I will let you see the pride of humans!"

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of people surrounding Zhou Qi asked in unison: "Is it worth it?"

Zhou Qi roared angrily: "I said that he has come back, it's enough!"

Before he finished speaking, the blood-colored dragon opened its hair and beard. It bent its head and stared at the hundreds of people in front of it. Then the huge figure passed through these people one by one.

Every time a person is killed, its figure becomes a little brighter.

The originally light red dragon became more and more colorful, and the originally blurred scales became three-dimensional little by little, even the patterns on it seemed to be clearly visible.

However, every time the Canglong is brighter, Zhou Qi becomes weaker.

He sat in this factory and delayed with Zero for a long time. This was the power he had accumulated to escape, and now it was all full of prosperity.

Zhou Qi did not leave any way out for himself. He had already obtained the answer he wanted, which was enough.

...

Outside the factory, there were thousands of residents who had just arrived from barrier No. 61.

In addition to these residents, the golden heroes were moving forward with guns. These 12 heroes were once the most elite soldiers of the Qing family. Each of them was the candidate for the top scorer in the military region. They were all amphibious all-round talents.

Now that he has become a hero, he is even more fierce.

Because they would die before, but now as long as they don’t want to die, no one can let them die again.
To be continued...
