"You...can take on this responsibility?" Qu Ping sighed softly.
It is not difficult to judge from the conversation between the two that Qu Ping knew about Huang Ling, at least part of it. However, just this part made Qu Ping extremely confused. This matter was obviously not a small matter.
Taking a closer look at Huang Ling's basement, in addition to the equipment, there are dense conduits and lines, which are arranged in a complex and orderly manner. Looking along the direction of these lines, they gradually converge to an equipment table at the end of the basement. This equipment table
It emits soft yellow-white light and is only one meter square.
Qu Ping followed Huang Ling and saw a baby. His body was covered with tubes and wires. He was neither crying nor fussing. He was dreaming sweetly. The baby was about seven or eight months old and weighed about twenty kilograms. It was very heavy.
Health. All this information is displayed on the screen next to it, which is clear at a glance. Even when you eat, defecate, sneeze, and cough are recorded.
"It's so detailed!" Qu Ping looked at Huang Ling with complicated eyes. No wonder she was so thin, but would this really last long?
At this time, Chen Xiao called Wang Xiang in the office, and Wang Xiang was reporting with Huang Ling's information in his hand.
"Huang Ling hasn't been to the company for half a year, and she hasn't shown up even once."
"This is so abnormal. What on earth could cause a senior executive to leave his job for so long?"
"I don't know. I've also asked. She hasn't lost contact yet. She will reply to me as soon as possible after sending messages. She just said that there is something going on at home." Wang Xiang said, looking down at the information he had recently collected.
In this brief silence, Chen Xiao's thoughts had already flown far away.
On the one hand, Chen Xiao is worried about whether there is something wrong with Huang Ling's health. If this is the case, then the problem will be too big.
Changtian Technology has the technology to allow people to achieve virtual immortality, as well as the technology to replace organs to extend people's lifespan, and even reorganize the human body's ability to truly resurrect.
So what kind of disease did Huang Ling suffer from? Even Changtian Technology couldn't cure it? Is it the kind of disease that will kill people immediately as soon as it is treated?
"How could there be such a disease?" Chen Xiao smiled and muttered. Huang Ling's biochip has been backing up and uploading her consciousness. If there is such a disease, the worst case scenario is to restart her consciousness.
Since it is not a disease problem, it may be some disputes, such as disputes within a family, or property rights issues between neighbors.
It is indeed difficult to tell the company about this situation, but it is not something that will always prevent you from returning to the company. Even if there is mediation between the two parties, there will be a free period, and you only need to go back at a certain time.
It's not a physical problem or a family dispute, it could be that Huang Ling's personal freedom has been restricted.
When she thought of this possibility, Chen Xiao couldn't sit still.
Why didn't I think of this possibility earlier?
Huang Ling is a senior executive of Changtian Technology and holds many important secrets. It is understandable that she would be targeted by agents.
If something unexpected happened, it would be a matter of opinion.
After all, the scale of Changtian Technology is too large. If any technology of Changtian Technology is brought to any country, it can make the country's technological level leap forward...
Huang Ling is a key staff member of the Changtian Technology Critical Care Laboratory. It would be very troublesome if she was targeted by the intelligence organization and accidentally revealed something.
When Chen Xiao was struggling alone, Wang Xiang sorted out the relevant materials, and the expression on his face was a bit wonderful at this time.
"Boss, according to the latest news, she has returned to her hometown of Chengdu, with a baby less than one year old at home..."
"Huh? Are you back home? Is the news reliable?"
"Reliable, because you also know our own system..."
Chen Xiao knocked on the table. He was so concerned that he forgot about it. Basically, regular employees of Changtian Technology have relevant departments to constantly investigate and update information. This is not to pry into everyone's privacy, but to Protect everyone's safety and keep track of everyone's whereabouts. Another purpose is to avoid spontaneous espionage to avoid leaking secrets.
Speaking of which, this department is still managed by Shen Wei, but Chen Xiao has forgotten this.
"A baby less than one year old?" Chen Xiao muttered. Did he get a favor from his subordinates? I didn't hear that Huang Ling was married or had a boyfriend. How come she suddenly "killed someone" "It's here? And it's still a baby less than one year old. When did Huang Ling get pregnant? How can she maintain such a good figure? I didn't notice it at all.
Chen Xiao didn't think too much about it, as long as he knew Huang Ling was fine.
"In my name, give Huang Ling one million, so that she can take care of her children at home and let her know when she wants to go to work. If you continue to look at me like this, you will lose your salary this year."
"Okay! Boss! Illegitimate children are not a strange thing in this era. Chengdu even stipulates that illegitimate children can register as registered permanent residents, which is legalized. Today, with a low birthrate, having children is a good thing..."
"Don't talk so much. If having children is a good thing, why don't you?"
"Isn't this because I dare not give priority to the boss!"
"Get out!"
…
In the basement of her old house in Rongcheng, Qu Ping glanced at her child and then at the instruments around her. She couldn't help but feel a little headache: "I really underestimated you. You erased the serial number of this set of scrapped equipment and then converted it into a private device." use."
"This is not an important piece of equipment in itself. I just recycle the waste."
"You really dare to say that if you sell an instrument that can connect to the brain and feedback the specific images in the mind, someone will pay a price of one billion billion! You must have disassembled a little bit from the east and a little bit from the west to assemble it, otherwise The scrapped quantity doesn't match up." Qu Ping said coldly.
Huang Ling's voice was low and firm: "I've done it all, why don't I dare to say it. Even if I steal, rob, or cheat, I will get it. I'm not afraid because I regret it. I never regret doing this. Just It is really cruel for this child to be afraid of being known to have taken back these things. I have to make sure at all times what he saw!"
At this time, the picture projected on the big screen is very warm. This is a child's perspective. A young couple is playing with the child. They are holding rattles in their hands and making sounds continuously. The colorful rattles are very beautiful.
The child's chubby hands kept trying to grab it.
The mother smiled sweetly and said softly: "Baby, come on, catch me, you can't catch me!"...
The father took the opportunity to pinch the child's open and closed fleshy palms from time to time, and he was very happy. After pinching the palms, he pinched the soles of the feet, without getting tired of it at all. The child was amused and giggled. He may not understand the words, but he did.
Once you understand the tone and smile, you will become happy.
After a while, my mother said, "Huh? My poop stinks! Dad is going to get diapers and wet wipes."
"OK."
Then the child felt his butt suddenly become cool.
"What a beautiful poop! It's strip-shaped, neither hard nor rotten, and the gastrointestinal condition is quite good. The butt is not red either, and it seems that it has not been covered with poop or urine. It is best to change it diligently and in a timely manner, which is best for the child's butt." The young father
A smile on his face.
"Really, I have to praise you for making a mess." Mother rolled her eyes, lowered her head and continued to tidy up.
"What's the point? You're at an age where you should be praised for even shitting! My son is healthy and I'm happy!"
The child initially felt a little uncomfortable having his buttocks sticky, but it soon became dry and comfortable and he said "hmm". At this time, he turned over and wanted to crawl over, but the seven-month-old child was not yet fully capable of crawling.
He could only "hum" and exert force, pulling the sheets with his limbs like water, which made the young couple laugh again.
After playing for a while, the child began to take off the mother's clothes, so the young lady opened one side of the nursing garment and allowed the child to suck as much as she wanted.
At this moment, one of the tubes began to secrete milky white juice, which flowed into the mouth of the child in the incubator, and the child greedily sucked it up. The child on the screen was full and burped, causing another burst of laughter.
Then the mother pulled down the curtains and began to hold him and rock him gently to put the child to sleep.
"Is this really okay for you? Will the child's daily schedule be too fixed? Will this form a stereotyped behavior for the child?" Qu Ping was a little worried. If the system sets the program, then the child will follow this procedure.
Grow up through a set process. Just imagine, a child is hungry on time, plays on time, or even happy or depressed on time. How terrifying that is!
"It doesn't matter, the child's schedule is within a reasonable range. Feeding and rest are determined by detecting body information, and the deviation is very small. In other words, the system detects that the child is hungry before starting feeding. And I will
Talk to him often and let him slowly get used to my voice and my presence. It has been half a year and this child has already responded to me accordingly. If this continues, I will be able to slowly integrate into his world."
Qu Ping's eyes were full of sympathy: "You are really thoughtful, you have considered all this."
"I promised my brother and sister-in-law that I would take good care of this child!" Huang Ling's eyes began to shine.
Qu Ping sighed, feeling heavy.
The seven or eight-month-old baby in the incubator belonged to Huang Ling's brother. One day, Huang Ling was doing important experiments, and his father died of natural causes. Due to the sudden incident, Changtian Technology was unable to save him in time. And Huang Ling could not leave.
Therefore, Huang Ling's brother could only take her place to see her father off for the last time.
Unexpectedly, there was a serious car accident on the way. My brother and sister-in-law were both gone, but the child miraculously survived...
When Huang Ling rushed to the hospital, she only had a crying child in her hand, and only three cold corpses were left.
Huang Ling felt very guilty. Her brother and his family had always taken care of her father. In the end, she failed to look at her father and implicated her brother and his family. She wished she had died that day, so that her nephew at least still had his parents.
Still alive.
But people cannot be resurrected. After Huang Ling calmed down, she began to think about the future of her children. Finally, she made an amazing decision. In order for her children to have a happy childhood, she transplanted a biochip into a one-month-old baby! Then she confirmed it through that set of equipment.
The world that children can see is happy, allowing children to feel the love of their parents in the virtual world.
The problem is that Changtian Technology explicitly prohibits minors from transplanting biochips.
If transplantation is necessary, very stringent conditions must be met. For example, some talented young people have ideas and want to produce results as quickly as possible, and some disabled people need work skills to support their families.
This is only possible under extreme circumstances, and requires endorsement and supervision from relevant departments, as well as continuous follow-up visits in the future to check on the condition of the transplant recipients.
But no matter what the situation is, it definitely does not include transplanting a biochip to a baby who is just one month old! If a child who is too young is transplanted with a biochip, his growth will become extremely uncontrollable.
When a child grows up, is it considered a biochip growing up or a normal child growing up?
It is precisely because of such concerns that Changtian Technology explicitly prohibits biochip transplantation in children who are too young. Huang Lin not only transplanted it, but also created a virtual world for her child.
Qu Ping couldn't bear to see this scene and tried to persuade her: "You have been deceiving this child with lies. When he grows up and discovers the truth, how will he react?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Stop brainwashing him, get rid of all these fake things, stay with him normally, and let him treat you as his mother. When he is old enough, confess to him."
"That's still cheating, not to mention that if a child has not been accompanied by his parents since he was a child, he will be mentally ill and bullied. This is absolutely not allowed."
"Then you find him a father, and you and your man become his parents and start a family! Let him make it clear to him when he grows up."
"This is even worse! Keep cheating."
"It's better than doing this. The child will eventually return to the real world. You can't lock him in an incubator in the basement for more than ten years or a lifetime! You know what?" Qu Ping also started to get angry. What's wrong with this person?
Why are you so stubborn? You can’t even understand such a simple truth?
Huang Ling suddenly knelt down and cried: "It's all my fault! I don't know what to do! It's best that I go see my father by myself that day to avoid anything happening to my brother and sister-in-law! I can't let this child get hurt anymore.
Even if it is a lie, he must continue to lie. One day he discovers the truth and I won’t be able to live anymore!”
Qu Ping felt distressed and speechless. How could a highly intelligent person be as unreasonable as a shrew? Where was his usual logic? Where was the scientific spirit and humanistic care?
"Don't be like this. You are just a fan of the authorities. Think about it again. I blame me for being nagging. It's all for the sake of this child. People can't live in lies, and you can't always live in guilt."
Huang Ling burst into tears and couldn't say a word. She knew there was something wrong with what she was doing, but if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be able to pass the test in her heart, and after doing it, she would feel a shackles on her soul.
With so many shackles locking a person down, and having to carefully take care of a child in all aspects, how could Huang Ling not feel haggard? In Taoist terms, she has inner demons.
