A week later, at eight o'clock at night.
Behind Taoyuan Technology's factory, there was a slope that was more than ten meters tall and covered more than 20 acres. It was originally planted with gum trees by the villagers, but now it had been bought by Taoyuan Technology along with the trees.
After a week of work, half of the 300 acres of land bought by Taoyuan Technology was filled with various materials, equipment, and instruments.
The total value exceeded two billion.
The people who saw this pile of equipment were stunned. They had no idea what Du Linchen was trying to do.
Fortunately, the people from the logistics department had foresight. Seeing that the situation was not good, they quickly invited more than a dozen construction teams over and surrounded Taoyuan Technology's headquarters with a two-meter-high barrier.
8 PM.
Lin Chen, Su Yue, Lu Qi, and Zhao Jianhua stood at the top of the hill.
Lights were on all around. In the afternoon, more than ten trucks poured piles of liquid prepared by Lin Chen onto the hillside, drenching the entire mountain.
On the top of the hill, a pool was dug out. It was filled with all kinds of liquids, revealing a very strange atmosphere.
"Lin Chen, you…"
Lu Qi's face was filled with a strange expression.
He had no idea what Lin Chen wanted to do. He only vaguely knew that this great biologist wanted to create something very "huge" and use the entire hillside as a testing ground.
"Next,"
Lin Chen took a deep breath to calm himself down."You will witness a miracle.”
"Miracles?"
The three of them looked at him.
"That's right. Su Yue, Lu Qi, if you feel that you can't keep it a secret, you can leave first.
Once you stay, you must keep everything that happened tonight a secret. Zhao Jianhua will be in charge of explaining the confidential matters to you later.”
"You are…?"
Lu Qi looked at the man in his forties with a square face and a serious expression.
"I work in the national security department.”
Zhao Jianhua didn't mention his position." Lin Chen is on a secret mission tonight. We'll be responsible for security. No one is allowed to approach or investigate what Lin Chen did tonight!”
This was an order from the capital.
When Zhao Jianhua was first sent to protect Lin Chen, he was full of questions and complaints.
However, after Taoyuan Science and Technology was punished by the United States, he realized that Lin Chen was indeed the top pillar of the country.
It was worth the protection of the national security department!
"No problem."
Su Yue stood beside Lin Chen, expressing that she wanted to be with him.
Lu Qi thought for a moment." Can I ask what it is about?”
"It has something to do with Taotao."
"I understand. I'll stay too!"
Lu Qi nodded.
"Tonight, I might be working with the leaders of Beijing to do some experiments. It's equivalent to a military secret. Think about it," Lin Chen said.”
"I won't consider it!" Lu Qi cut off the iron nails." Since I've already boarded your pirate ship, there's no way I can get off. Come on, let me see what a miracle is!"”
"The miracle is that you will witness the world's first…!”
"The first what?"
Lu Qi's heart was in his throat. He had already guessed it.
Lin Chen took out a test tube and pulled out the cork." Brother Zhao, have you cleared the area?”
"Yes, the area has been cleared. There are no suspicious people around.”
"Taotao, are you ready?"
Lin Chen took out his phone and asked Taotao.
"Yes, brother. Taotao is ready.”
"Alright…you will witness the birth of the first biological computer!”
Lin Chen threw the test tube into the pool filled with turbid liquid.
The test tube slowly sank.
Lin Chen took a few steps back.
The three of them also retreated nervously, as if they were afraid of a sudden explosion.
Or some monster might suddenly jump out of the pool.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
They waited for a few minutes, but nothing happened in the pool.
"What happened?"
Lu Qi could not suppress his curiosity.
Zhao Jianhua was also watching nervously. He had a feeling that what happened tonight was very important!
"Do you know how the creatures on Earth came about?”
Lin Chen held Su Yue's hand and made her sit on the only chair.
"You mean…this is a simulation of Earth four billion years ago?”Su Yue looked up at him.
Lin Chen patiently explained to her,""It will take some time for some cells to slowly evolve into a complex structure.”
"How long will it take?"
"Do we need to seal this place until tomorrow?" Zhao Jianhua asked.”
"No need, it should be soon. Let's wait for Taotao to connect.”
Lin Chen's words made Lu Qi notice that there were also a few wires connected in the pool. It seemed that the wires and wires used for signal transmission had been modified by Lin Chen to control the cells in the pool and make them...
"Brother, it's connected!"
Taotao's excited voice came from Lin Chen's phone.
"Alright, let's proceed according to the plan."
"Okay, brother, please wait for half an hour.”
Five minutes later, the water in the pool had decreased by one layer, and the surface of the water began to fluctuate violently.
Fifteen minutes later, a glowing sapling emerged from the center of the pool where the solution had been reduced by half.
The three of them looked over in shock.
The sapling was delicate and soft. A few leaves emitted a hazy light and gently stretched their branches and leaves, as if a beautiful woman was slowly dancing under the moonlight.
It was filled with unbelievable beauty.
Twenty minutes later, the sapling had grown to the height of two people. Its branches and leaves were flourishing, and specks of light hung down. Bright starlight gathered on its body.
The water in the pool had already reached the bottom.
Everyone knew that the small tree had absorbed all the solution and turned it into its own nutrients.
But it was still not enough.
Thick wires were wrapped around its trunk, and sparks kept coming out from all over the tree, making it look even more magical.
It began to grow rapidly.
The roots dug deep into the soil.
It absorbed all the liquid that had seeped into the hillside.
In the end, it grew into a tree that was more than ten meters tall and had luxuriant leaves.
A gentle breeze blew past, rustling the glowing leaves on the tree.
Other than the fact that its leaves would glow, it was almost no different from an ordinary tree.
However, it was the glowing leaves that made this tree full of mystery.
It was like the World Tree in myths and legends. It stood tall and proud between heaven and earth.
" This is a biological computer?!"
Lu Qi's eyes almost popped out.
This was too bizarre!
A computer looks like this?
"Let me ask you, can plants think?”
Lin Chen threw him a question.
Lu Qi could not answer.
Zhao Jianhua frowned. He couldn't figure it out either.
"Should be?"
Su Yue stood beside him and looked up at the big tree. She called out tentatively,"Taotao?"
"Taotao is here."
The voice came from Lin Chen's phone.
The little girl was very happy." Brother, I've already changed my body. Now, my entire body is filled with power. I've never been stronger!" Brother, I can do more!”
Her power meant that she had higher computational ability, which allowed her to fully display her abilities.
Previously, Lu Qi had bought her a server worth one billion yuan, but it was still far from enough.
Only the body made of biological computational neurons created by her brother was the most suitable for her.
"Animals can think, and plants can think too. Why can't a biological computer be a big tree?”
Lin Chen laughed and explained," Actually, what's important isn't the outer shell, but what's inside the trunk. As for why it's glowing…Fireflies can also glow. It's not strange for them to glow after absorbing so much energy.”
"The biological computer is another important result of my research. Its computing structure was completely written and designed by me. After controlling its growth through the peach, it formed something that was completely born for computing.”
"I don't think it's a living thing, because it only has a structure similar to biological neurons. It doesn't have a body or any organs, and its brain is Tao Tao.”
"Actually, you can ask the other way around. After Taotao changed her body to a body made of biocomputational neurons, is she an artificial intelligence or a 'human'?”
" The core of her thinking is the code I wrote, but she also has a body made of computational neurons. Her energy comes from nutrient fluids and electricity, and she can also absorb sunlight, similar to plants.”
"Is Taotao a human now, a plant, or an artificial intelligence?”
Lin Chen raised an ethical question that was worth pondering.
No one present could answer, and neither could Lin Chen himself.
Taotao could answer,
"I'm brother's sister, Taotao!”
"Absolutely correct!"
Lin Chen said exaggeratedly, but Tao Tao didn't smile.
Su Yue smiled.
However, he suddenly thought of something. If Taotao did not evolve into a big tree but into a human form, did she really become a "human"?
She also fell into a dilemma.
Taotao existed in a computer, so she was undoubtedly an artificial intelligence. But if Taotao existed in a "human" body, would she be more like a human?
Artificial intelligence was indeed a magnificent and magical field.
Lin Chen was almost like a god who created mankind.
"Taotao, let's start tonight's mission.”
Lin Chen said to her.
"Yes, big brother…I've received your authorization. Scanning, mission target found. Three seconds."
Three seconds later.
"Brother, the message inside is: tonight at 7:30 pm, eat tomato scrambled eggs at the hillside of Watermelon Mountain.”
Lu Qi and the other two were baffled.
What tomato scrambled eggs?
"Alright, call him and tell him the answer.”
Lin Chen ordered.
Taotao called Elder Ye in Beijing and told him,
Tonight, at 7:30 pm, they would eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes at the hillside of Watermelon Mountain.
“……”
Elder Ye was shocked!
