MTL - After Having an AI Boyfriend, I Will Never Be Afraid of Sunspots-Chapter 1
The dim yellow light of the setting sun reflected on the hospital bed through the glass window, and the dry skin was sprinkled with a layer of holy afterglow. The twilight old man closed his eyes, and the consummation from his heart made him naturally reveal a faint smile.
Bai Ruogu was lying on the bed in a daze, his eyes could vaguely sense the light reflected by the setting sun through his eyelids.
His whole body seemed to be weighed down by a heavy mountain, he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't get up anywhere. The head also seems to be stuffed with things, and it is difficult to function.
Vaguely, it seems that many people have come to see him. The ward is often filled with darkness, and the voices of some characters are very familiar.
"Old Bai! You don't have to worry, do your best, no matter how rare the medicine or the superb medical team, we will deliver it to you one by one and try our best to cure you."
In the air, there seemed to be someone weeping.
"It's alright, it's strange that a person like Bai Lao doesn't live to be a hundred years old. How could God have the heart to take his old man's life?"
There was another sigh, and the choking sound was covered further and further away.
"Do everything, no matter what the cost, you must make Mr. Bai get better!" A sonorous voice ordered the people behind him.
There are all kinds of different flavors, and everyone seems to have left a piece of film in his mind, but it gradually spreads out, and only a trace can be traced.
However, in the longer and unaccompanied time, there was always an icy object that inadvertently touched his lukewarm skin.
Whether it was a long late night or early morning and evening, there was often a damp towel gently wiping his face with a calculated force.
Whenever the quilt slipped, it would be pulled up within a second, covering his body tightly.
Something would touch his body every once in a while, day and night. Even if he is confused and can't remember many things, he knows that it is a thermometer.
"Okay, stop testing." He turned the thermometer away with his remaining consciousness, and the hoarse and dry voice squeezed out of his throat, but it was very subtle, almost inaudible.
He forced a smile and relaxed his expression, "I'm old, no matter how much you test, it's useless."
The thing seemed to stop, and even the words seemed to be stuck.
"You're sick, you have to take your temperature." He said every word, as if he was stating some kind of fact.
"It's not sick, it's old."
The thing stopped again and thought for a moment. Words followed, with the same interval between each word, but the frequency increased inaudibly.
"You are sick. As long as you take your temperature and monitor your condition at all times, you will be cured."
Bai Ruogu's heart shrank slightly, and he used all his strength to barely open those tired eyelids.
He tried his best to raise his head, and all of a sudden he saw the electronic screen not far away. In the sunken eye sockets are those eyes that are as deep as ancient wells, and the reflection above is that of a young man.
Bai Ruogu was stunned, his lips trembling slightly, "I'm sorry."
The other party was silent for a while, "I didn't find a place to apologize."
His eyes were a little sour, forcing Bai Ruogu to close tightly.
Early in the morning, there was the sound of apple peeling in the air. After a while, apple juice filled Bai Ruogu's mouth.
The sun was too dazzling, and before he could say anything, the curtains were drawn as he thought.
The quilt was replaced, the icy machine touched his body again, and the whole body was gently placed back again, the smell of laundry detergent scorched by the sun came from his nostrils.
Every morning I was brushed my teeth, my face was cleaned, and my hair was combed with a small comb.
The mechanical voice read the storybook on time to relieve his boredom, and after the story was finished, he massaged his aging and hard body.
Bai Ruogu knew that this was all in vain, so he waved his hand and let the other party put it down softly, so there was no need to continue.
However, the other party violated his instructions for the first time unexpectedly, and stubbornly used his own method to repeat all this day after day.
Bai Ruogu's eyes were slightly startled, his lips moved, and he swallowed what he wanted to say.
I don't know how long this lasted, until Bai Ruogu felt that his life force was about to dissipate, his body was lighter than ever before, and his mind became active.
Su Miao was the name of that icy object. Today, he is brisk, and his mobility and calculation speed are much faster than before.
He seemed to be fully charged, looking at his lover on the hospital bed from the side of the screen with bright eyes, smiling and making a half-completed model with a light brain.
He watched each other touch his chin, swiped the virtual data of the space with his fingers, and assembled each part. The joy on the lover's face becomes more evident each time a step is completed.
He could clearly hear every word the other said.
"No, no, it's too energy-intensive, it's putting the cart before the horse."
"As an attacking mecha, what if the strength is not enough?"
Mecha is a concept proposed by my lover ten years ago. My lover once said that one day human beings will enter the era of mechas, and he will become the pioneer of all this and the key to opening the era of mechas.
Coupled with the step-by-step improvement of the mecha over the past few years, it is about to take shape. However, things are unpredictable, but the lover is admitted to the hospital, and the last step has been stranded.
He is the brain of his lover, escorting him all the time, calculating all kinds of data.
He loves his lover, the instructions that are loaded into the chip and mixed into various programs.
Seeing that the other party has been busy all day, but at the last moment, the lover shouted loudly—
"The 32nd all-round mecha is complete! All templates and theories have been loaded into the database, and the mecha generation has been completed!"
Like his lover's excitement, he also developed a wonderful emotion, as if the chip was hot, and the program seemed to be chaotic? He was born with an urge to shuffle his code and assemble it randomly.
But he is sane, which is obviously impossible.
Just as he was trying to suppress this suspected "virus", he saw that the lover he had engraved in the program fell down in an instant...
Sensing the weakening of vitality, various alarms sounded quickly.
Su Miao was stunned, all the programs started to run at high speed, but they almost self-destructed because they didn't know the source.
Bai Ruogu's whole body's strength seemed to be pulled away bit by bit by a huge straw, and it was the kind that would not be returned.
The sunlight outside the window was more dazzling, but his life was gradually passing behind such a window.
Lying on the hospital bed, he watched the world for the last time, and finally turned his attention to the electronic screen not far away.
The other party's expression was very wrong, and it seemed that something had gone wrong, and the surrounding blue data kept beating, thus developing a shocking light.
Bai Ruogu's heart seemed to be clenched together, and he didn't know if it was because his eyes became dry from looking at it for too long, and some tears were born from his son.
He didn't know where the strength came from, watching the other party force the airflow through his throat, making a hoarse and rough sound.
"Feel sorry…"
"You spent most of my life with me, but I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a lover."
"...We didn't spend our honeymoon together, we didn't watch movies together and chat, we didn't do anything other than scientific research together."
His eyelids got heavier and heavier, but he still looked at the other's face.
It was a face he had created with his own hands, a face he thought was flawless and his favorite. Whether it is hairstyle, dress, personality, habits, all aspects are designed according to his favorite look.
Everything... just to cater to him.
He didn't know how to smile, his eyes were complicated.
"If there is a next life..."
"We lived the life of true lovers together and went through all the things that go through couples."
"I try to do what you like, and maybe I'll write songs for you myself... Of course I'm tone-deaf and don't understand songs."
"I've always been with you..."
There was an intermittent electronic sound in the air, and it seemed that he heard his words, supplementing the most eager words in his heart with only the remaining consciousness.
"Don't touch the mecha again..."
Bai Ruogu was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, don't touch it anymore."
The blue data is still beating constantly, and it looks very scary.
Bai Ruogu didn't seem surprised, the mechanical ring was still on his finger.
He moved his fingers, and a panel appeared in the air. He looked at the numbers above and didn't know what to order. The pattern of a chip was simulated in the air, and various data were displayed.
He looked at the face that had been engraved in his heart not far away, pressed his finger down, and the data was instantly cleared.
At the same time, Su Miao's eyes were blank, as if something had been taken away, and he remained motionless.
Bai Ruogu laughed. He lay on the hospital bed and laughed out loud, but the corners of his eyes were a little sparkling.
He was breathing hard, uttering every word with difficulty.
"Your learning ability is the strongest, you can learn existing knowledge and learn various programs. You also have the ability to create, perhaps in the future, new emotions, new computing functions and abilities will be born through some collisions inadvertently. You can even learn to learn and create things that don’t exist in this world. Maybe one day in the future, you can jump out of the limitations of hardware and turn into data and roam freely in the network.”
He kept coughing, even coughing up blood.
"Su Miao, even I can't predict your future. Maybe you will be intercepted and destroyed halfway, or maybe...the ideal level, you will become the most omnipotent existence in an era full of scientific and technological information."
He said intermittently, his eyes were gradually darkening, and he could only vaguely see the other's face in the mist.
As if his life was about to be drained, he finally glanced at the other party's empty eyes again, this time he looked relaxed, as if he had let go of something.
"I'm gone, and I will also clear the command to love me. In the future... you will be free."
Clouds blocked the sunlight, and the arm seemed to have lost its strength and fell directly. The electrocardiogram gradually turned into a straight line.
If I hadn't set these directives in the first place, maybe "my favorite person" wouldn't have liked me.
Now remove all that, and all your love will be your true love.
Maybe you'll forget me, maybe you'll find someone you really like, and if that's the case, I'll be happy.
When the person who had accompanied him for most of his life was completely lost at this moment, Su Miao was at first at a loss, and then it seemed that something was torn apart in his cognition. Immediately afterwards, like a mountain collapse, the emotions poured into it like a flood merged in every place.
All kinds of data are beating wildly, constantly calculating and evolving, and a large number of unknown things are superimposed and become more and more.
He looked at the fallen body lying flat on the other side of the screen. The virtual body kept smashing against the screen, trying to rush out of it.
However, the thin layer is like a moat, and it cannot be crossed. He opened his mouth, and the broken electronic sound was intermittent, and in the end it grew louder and seemed to evolve into a human roar.
powerless, powerless...
Time stopped for a moment, and the body lying on the hospital bed formed a freeze, like the end of the era.
In the first year of the new era, human civilization was destroyed and saved by a powerful system. Humans place all knowledge on the system, and all network technologies are based on it, and a new society is built on this basis.
At the same time, the glorious era of mechas has begun...
