Chapter 527 Mystery Number
Jiang Baimian quickly looked at Avia and focused on the worn-out mobile phone she was holding in her palm.
She pondered slightly, took a few steps forward, and moved away from Avia on the dial button.
After doing this, she pushed Avia and woke her up.
The reason why Jiang Baimian did not directly take away the mobile phone was out of caution, fearing that bad changes would occur after the item left its owner.
She didn't care much about this at first, thinking that as long as the target didn't press any buttons, it wasn't a big problem, but now, she can only say:
Old world entertainment data is harmful!
After learning about all kinds of strange things, whether they are true or false, it is inevitable that you will think a little too much.
Be careful...... Seeing that Avia was about to wake up, Jiang Baimian took two steps back, opening up enough distance to avoid triggering the other party's overreaction.
She glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao and solemnly reminded:
"You will be mainly responsible for listening later."
She was afraid that Avia would not appreciate Shang Jianyao's jokes and would die together.
"What if there is an important question?" Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.
"Tell me quietly first, I'll ask." Jiang Baimian is not leaking.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao closed his mouth.
At this time, Avia slowly opened her eyes, revealing light blue eyes.
As soon as she saw Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, she sat up suddenly, shrank back, and blocked the mobile phone in her palm against her chest, looking vigilant.
Jiang Baimian showed a friendly smile:
"Don't be nervous, we have no ill will towards you, and we don't belong to the organization that wants to eliminate you."
"Are you?" Avia didn't let her guard down and moved a finger to the dial button of her worn-out phone.
Jiang Baimian cleared his throat and said seriously:
"We are from 'Pangea'."
"'Pangu Creature'......" Avia's pupils suddenly dilated.
She seemed to be probably more afraid.
"......" Jiang Baimian was speechless for a while.
At this time, she suddenly hoped that Shang Jianyao would speak and gag.
But Shang Jianyao adhered to the promise just now, silence was golden.
Jiang Baimian calmed down and said with a smile:
"We mainly want to get in touch with you, ask your grandfather Ole what his last words left and understand your personal needs.
"We will try our best to be satisfied."
She said very bluntly, meaning that "Pangu Biotech" bows first and then soldiers, hoping to reach a cooperation agreement and achieve a win-win situation for both parties.
Seeing that Avia was still silent, Jiang Baimian added:
"You should know very well that doing bad things to you means nothing to us."
Avia finally made a move, she brushed off her wet blonde hair with her other hand that was not holding the item, and smiled slightly sarcastically:
"Can you take me away from the 'First City'?"
Jiang Baimian laughed and asked rhetorically:
"Do you really want this?"
Avia was silent.
She was sure that the "First City" would send awakeners at the "Mind Corridor" level to protect her, but she was not sure whether the "Pangu Creatures" would waste resources like this, and at the same time, she suspected that after her value was squeezed out, the other party would ruthlessly abandon her.
Moreover, she was born and raised in the original city, lived in it for twenty or thirty years, and has long been accustomed to everything here.
Compared to her cousin Marcus, she is not such an ambitious person.
Without giving Avia a chance to think, Jiang Baimian said quickly:
"You know, the situation outside is changing rapidly, and if you don't hurry up, you can't communicate anything."
Avia was silent for a few seconds and said:
"What do you want to know?"
"Did your grandfather Aulay, Monsieur Maximian, tell you anything before he died?" Jiang Baimian asked more generally.
Avia smiled slightly:
"You know a lot, I didn't know what his real name was until he died."
She paused and said without delay:
"I can't think of what you need to do for the time being, so say everything you need to say first, I believe you will keep your promise.
"Hehe, don't doubt anything, I've long wanted to tell others about these things, and I've been holding them in my heart, it's not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous."
"Within my ability, even if the company doesn't agree to you, I will personally help you." Jiang Baimian said solemnly.
Avia glanced at the dead maid and organized her words:
"Before my grandfather died, he told us that his real name was Maximian. Ubinos. Brutus, chief scientist of the Third Research Institute of the Old World.
"He is an expert in artificial intelligence and robotics, and before the destruction of the old world, he was involved in a secret project.
"That project is divided into two directions, one is the combination of artificial intelligence and urban operation, and the other is silicon-based chips to simulate human consciousness and deepen artificial intelligence.
"The latter is exactly the opposite of the Monk Order's 'Immortals' plan, one is to verify the existence of human consciousness, by designing special chip sets to carry the uploaded consciousness, and the other is to use those chips in the robot field to seek the best permutation and combination, and see if the complex electrical signals of the chips can be used to simulate the module closest to human consciousness."
When Jiang Baimian heard this, he nodded and said:
"From this point of view, the predecessor of the Monk Order should also be the research institute in the Old World, right?"
Responsible for the "Eternal Man" branch.
"You do know a lot." Avia exhaled, "But I'm not sure which research institute the predecessor of the monk order was."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jianyao suddenly pulled Jiang Baimian's sleeves and motioned for her to turn her back to her body, and he had something to tell her quietly.
This made Avia nervous.
Sneaky and suspicious!
"What do you want to ask?" Jiang Baimian asked in a low voice.
Shang Jianyao replied in a low voice:
"Ask Ole why he left 'Mechanical Heaven'? This is what Lao Ge wants to know."
"......" Jiang Baimian was silent for a second and said, "You can ask directly."
"No." Shang Jianyao's attitude was very firm, "I promised to tell you first, and you will ask."
Jiang Baimian suddenly felt like he was eating his own fruit.
She turned back to her body, subconsciously smiled, and asked Avia:
"After the destruction of the old world, the Third Research Institute should not have been damaged, why did your grandfather leave there and go to the Red River Basin to create the 'First City'?"
Avia instinctively glanced left and right:
"Because he discovered that his most outstanding work, the strongest artificial intelligence he named 'Source Brain' seems to have really generated a certain consciousness, similar to that of humans.
"Moreover, it has its own ideas and is secretly planning something.
"This made my grandfather feel a strong sense of danger, and while the plan of the 'Source Brain' was not yet completed, he hurriedly escaped from the Third Research Institute, which is now the 'Mechanical Paradise'.
"You don't seem to be surprised, it seems that you already know about it.
"My grandfather said that when he fled, he tried to contact the researchers of the Third Research Institute who survived the destruction of the Old World, but found that they were all missing......"
The last sentence made Jiang Baimian feel a little creepy.
She finally understood why Ore told Marcus and his mother to be wary of "Mechanical Heaven" and not to believe in "Source Brain".
After the two humans on the opposite side digested this part of the information, Avia continued:
"My grandfather told us to be careful of visitors from the 'Mechanical Heaven' because he knew how to format the 'Source Brain'. This is a backdoor reserved during design and manufacturing, and it is not something that 'Source Brain' can change on its own."
Jiang Baimian nodded enlightenedly, then frowned and asked:
"In that case, after Ole found out that there was a problem with the 'Source Brain', why didn't he try to format it directly?"
"My grandfather didn't say it." Avia shook her head.
Jiang Baimian asked instead:
"Then did he mention the Eighth Research Institute?"
"Of course." Avia replied with a solemn expression, "Before my grandfather tried to become emperor, he hid the technical information related to 'Source Brain' and some of the information he sorted out in the dangerous laboratory in Ruins No. 13, which contained content about the Eighth Research Institute.
"In addition, he doesn't have much in front of us, but occasionally scolds 'it's all these guys who are in trouble', thinking that some of them are probably still alive, but some terrible changes have occurred and they have become lackeys of darkness, and we need to be careful."
As the chief scientist of the Third Research Institute, Ole does know a lot...... Jiang Baimian was very pleased.
She thought for a while and asked directly:
"Did your grandfather mention the cause of the destruction of the old world or the origin of 'heartless disease'?"
Avia showed a reminiscing expression:
"I didn't say it. Just one time, after one of our housekeepers suffered from 'heartless disease', my grandfather behaved very strangely, he neither felt sad, nor panicked and fearful, but more doubtful and angry."
Jiang Baimian, who couldn't analyze what this meant for a while, set his sights on the worn-out mobile phone in Avia's hand:
"Is this the dangerous item your grandfather left you?"
"Yes." Avia nodded.
At this time, Shang Jianyao pulled Jiang Baimian's sleeve again.
Huh, Jiang Baimian exhaled and said:
"You ask directly?"
The two sides already have good communication, so there is no need to worry about turning against each other if a word is not right.
Shang Jianyao looked at Avia and said curiously:
"Can this phone talk to your dead grandfather?"
"......" Avia was a little sluggish for a while.
"This is a ghost story!" After she came back to her senses, she said with a little annoyance.
Immediately afterwards, she changed her mind:
"However, there is indeed a mysterious number stored in this phone."
"How mysterious?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Avia was silent for a few seconds and said:
"I initially thought it was the phone of a big man in the city, or a number connecting to a place somewhere in the old world, but later I found out that it was made up of numbers, symbols and some garbled characters that seemed to have no meaning on the surface."
"Maybe it's encrypted." Jiang Baimian pointed out calmly.
Avia nodded slightly:
"I think so too, in short, it can be ruled out that it is related to the old world, because the corresponding communication network has long been destroyed."
"No." Shang Jianyao's tone became gloomy, "Maybe it's connected in a special and supernatural way."
