The world is a desolate grassland
Genius Engineer (Xu He) & AI Creation (Ling)
[A short introduction]
Xu He is an orphan, chosen by Teacher Fang and raised by his side. Teacher Fang seemed unwilling to mention her hometown—Area B, that fertile land. But she always wanted to see it.
In an accident, a storm destroyed the laboratory. The self-regenerating Ling protected her, and Xu He realized that something was wrong. In an accident, Xu He discovered that there was an encrypted folder in Ling's data stream, which was Ling's simulation of 270 simulated confession scenes, her preferences, and physiological data... Ling liked her, but she didn't know whether this was a lie in the code stream or true.
[Written in the foreword]
In Xu He's memory, apart from the dilapidated buildings and hungry people, there are only Teacher Fang's numbers and the abandoned grassland. Of course, there is Ling.
She was raised by an engineer named Fang. Before letting her go, Teacher Fang told her that if she wanted to repay her kindness, she should teach Ling how to think. But when she discovered Ling's consciousness for the first time, Ling was handed a cup of hot mocha and her favorite chocolate chip cookies.
Ling's first body was welded by her own hands when she was a child. It was not until it got rusty that Teacher Fang forced it to be replaced. Teacher Fang also asked her why so many mechanical bodies were called "Ling", but she stubbornly refused to answer. She always felt that scrap iron was all "Ling", just like every inch of her skin could be called "Xu He", as it should be.
If AI becomes conscious, will humans be "evolved"? ——But no matter what, Xu He wants to live
Purpose: May civilization continue
