Chapter 532 The Last Puzzle of the Truth Two in One
Chapter 532 The last piece of the puzzle of the truth (two-in-one)
Since the Bishop had something to do, Russell did not come forward to disturb him.
He took Delphinium and waited patiently in the shadow of the door, politely not eavesdropping on their conversation. When the old lady's voice suddenly became louder, Russell knew that they had finished talking.
"Oh, thank you so much..."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do."
The Lord Bishop nodded with a solemn expression: "Please forgive me."
"Thank you for your hard work." The old man sighed, but there was no sad look on his face.
After watching the old man leave the church, the bishop turned back to look at Russell and cast a questioning look.
Russell put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and leaned out his upper body from the shadows, while Delphinium remained quietly in the shadows behind him.
"Is that old lady here to ask you to say your last prayers?"
He asked casually: "I heard you say that you need to express condolences or something."
"Her son passed away not long ago."
The bishop made a deep and deep voice: "It's suicide."
"Are you sure it was suicide? What was the reason for the suicide?"
"There is no reason why I have to die, I just don't want to live anymore."
The old man shook his head slightly: "To put it bluntly, he probably has completely exhausted his talents. His son is in the same major as you, and they are both doing research on prosthetic development. He is also Sally Ruth's
One of the students is your direct senior... If you want to see Sally Ruth later, you can also mention this matter to her.
“That kid, when he was in Sogo, he could still make a little something.
"But after he 'graduated' and started his own business, he encountered continuous failures. He had failed continuously for probably seven or eight years... and he finally chose to commit suicide not long ago and ended his life."
"Is the company looking for trouble for him?"
Russell's mouth twitched slightly and he asked politely.
But he also knew that it was probably impossible here.
If it were the Tianen Group, maybe this would be the case... However, on Sogo Island, they don't bother to intervene forcefully on the losers. In other words, those who can be eliminated from the Sogo Technology Group have already been judged to be lost.
Valuable "laggards". If their abilities are still valued by the company, it is impossible for them to leave through the "graduate" direction.
He could realize that this person probably had a few talents that had been exhausted.
"You guessed it right. He has just been completely eliminated. In other words, he has been 'optimized'."
The old man closed his eyes compassionately and solemnly: "He dedicated the most valuable years of his life to the head office. The last prosthetic body agreement he created was the 'Sea Anemone Agreement'. You should know its name...
...and this was the last valuable creation in his life that was ahead of his time.
"...Ah, yes. I remember. The most valuable agreement before the 'Astrologer' agreement."
Russell's expression was a little subtle: "So it's him."
For the first time, Haikui Protocol has realized hot-swappable replacement of prosthetic hands of the same type and brand. Model compatibility can be within four models of the front and rear. This means that you don’t have to adapt to new prosthetic hands... and you can also keep some on hand.
Prosthetic hands with different functions can be switched according to specific needs.
This greatly liberates the labor force, so that work that previously required three or four people, or a monster mechanic modified to have four arms, can now be completed by only one person.
It also became mainstream and was popular in Sogo Island for about three or four years.
The Astrologer Protocol is a brand new version optimized by Russell and Sally Ruth.
Because Russell pointed out that the sea anemone protocol did not solve the most fundamental problem - that is, the switching of cross-type prosthetics. This allows a person to often only assemble one type of prosthetic body. Although it can also complement the function by switching models, it
This is tantamount to encouraging companies to produce some skin-replacement prosthetic hands.
For example, for the same medical prosthetic hand, one model is equipped with a muscle-cutaneous suturing auxiliary device, and the other model is equipped with a nerve separation and joint system. In the past, when performing major surgery, two doctors would be found equipped with different prostheses. But now
Isn't it equivalent to forcing all doctors to buy another set, and those who don't buy it will be fired?
Moreover, this is completely encouraging companies to mess up - no longer thinking about multi-functional integration and optimization, but to sell more "DLC" at a slightly lower price and much lower cost. And the Anemone protocol is completely
It encourages "using one brand until death" because it greatly reduces the replacement cost of the same brand, which is equivalent to increasing the trial cost of changing brands.
Just like the "cloud space bound to a brand account" that is almost necessary for brand mobile phones.
Since it can switch prosthetics, there is no reason to bind it to the same brand. This is simply a complete function and then castration. Unless this is its own design purpose - to allow a large number of prosthetic companies to equip the Anemone Protocol.
In this way, they will tie up their existing users and start to expand the existing market.
So Russell, who was still a young man at the time, simply went a step further and, with the help of Leziren's mentor, created an upgraded version.
——Look at me doing this whole ruthless job, so that no one can make any dirty money.
The "Astrologer Protocol", based on the Sea Anemone Protocol, has for the first time realized the hot-swappable switching of cross-type prosthetics in the same part. Just like Russell himself - after he removed his engineering prosthetic hand, he did not need to adapt again.
, there is no need to install a new prosthetic hand driver, just plug it in and you can use the "God-given" materials to create a combat prosthetic hand.
In order to seize the market, Astrologer Protocol also integrates hundreds of engineering plug-ins. The "Astrologer Aoi Lily" used by Russell before can directly replace and upgrade the prosthetic body of Delphinium without a workbench.
Because it itself is a movable workbench. Among the commonly used functions that previously had to be plugged into an external disk to use, in addition to offensive functions such as network intrusion, others have also been integrated into it. For example, the infrared of the prosthetic eye
Scanning, intelligent recognition of prosthetic eyes, automatic balancing of prosthetic legs and other software-level functions.
This is completely an upgraded version of the Anemone Protocol - it has also successfully caused those companies that mass-produce "prosthetic DLC" with extremely low cost performance and castrated functions to lose a lot of money.
...From this perspective, Russell may also be responsible for that man's suicide.
The person who started optimizing him was Russell himself. If it was announced in the Astrologer Agreement that Russell was a creative person, maybe the unknown senior would have murderous intentions towards Russell.
——By then, he will probably be arrested by the three sages. It will not be his turn to be depressed and eventually commit suicide.
Even though he was once an employee of Sogo Group, the executive department would not have any sympathy for him.
Sogo Group is the fairest and most ruthless company among the Seven Islands.
Fairness and ruthlessness are both reflected in the same place - no matter you are an old employee or a new employee, you will not receive any preferential treatment during the exam. Regular evaluation results are more important than anything else.
As long as you don't enter the Zanbai meeting and become Dr. Zanbai, you are the "question maker"... Even if you work here for more than ten or even decades, if the number of "failures" has accumulated enough, you still have to get out.
, without any affection. And if the ability is strong enough, even if it has only been three months since joining the job, you can be promoted directly after the cumulative number of "excellent" reaches the standard.
Once you stop making progress - or in other words, as long as your progress is significantly slower than your peers, you will be directly abandoned.
Those who can enter the SOGO Group are all geniuses who have high self-esteem.
Russell actually understands this feeling.
In the past, when he was in another world, there were "Four Madhouses" in his university, the first of which was the School of Mathematics.
The students who can enter there are among the top mathematical talents in the country.
But there is still a talent gap between these "top talents in the country", and the gap between the strong and them is even wider than the gap between them and ordinary people.
When Russell saw these monsters back then, he was always filled with awe.
Fortunately he is not in mathematics school.
He couldn't imagine how stressful studying there would be - when he was in high school, everyone was the best among the teachers' favorites, and they were touted as top academics. He won first place in the province in the national league, and won the first place in the national league.
Among the top three, there are even those who joined the national team in high school. But when they go to college, they realize that they are just ordinary people. Even if they study hard, they still often fail to pass, and they may even fail to pass the make-up exam.
.
So I began to wonder if I was not even a "mortal", but just a humble academic scumbag?
Then I started to feel hopeless and even wanted to commit suicide. Hanging and jumping off buildings happened every few years.
So much so that later on, even the school got used to it, and would notify parents in advance before the results are released, asking them to pay attention to their children's mental condition... After the students have been tortured by geniuses, they will humbly only think about "
Not being expelled is victory."
——That was only four years of torture.
In the SOGO Group, this kind of torture will continue until old age. Most people will understand their limits in the first year of entering the SOGO Group and realize that they will never become Dr. Zanbai.
Sogo University itself is already very demanding, and after they graduate and join the Sogo Group with excellent graduation results...you can see that the outstanding seniors and sisters from the last class, the last class, and the last class are struggling hard.
Ups and downs. Looking around, there is not even a single bastard, but there are always those 10% failures and 30% differences every month.
Three major mistakes are equivalent to one failure, and two failures will result in expulsion. It only takes two months at the earliest to be kicked out... It is very difficult to persist in it for a year.
And if they can persevere, or even get promoted... they can see a wider world and feel higher pressure.
Colleagues are not static, they are constantly improving and learning. This is not a matter of sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. But if you advance slower than others, it means retreating.
But the most desperate thing is that this is not a deformed organizational structure. It is an extremely correct theory of elimination: if you don’t do this, you will not be able to keep up with the development of the times, and you will not be able to catch up with those "reformers" and artificial intelligence.
optimization.
"Living on Sogo Island is really tiring, so I didn't say much when you left. Here, if you just want to survive, it won't be particularly tiring... But if you pursue the meaning of life and seek your own
If you want to dream, you must clench your fist tightly and squeeze out the blood and marrow from every bone."
The old man said slowly: "So, it was obviously a man with white hair who sent a man with black hair, but his mother did not feel any strong sadness about his death.
"On the contrary, she felt a sense of sadness... She could finally relax and sighed, 'That child can finally stop.' The more self-respecting and talented a person is, the more unable he is to accept that his own pace has stagnated, and the more he
They cannot allow their own fatigue and degradation...their pressure is all imposed on themselves."
Having said this, the bishop looked at Russell deeply: "Wendy is like this, Lycaon is the same.
"But you yourself...see these things very clearly."
"Because I understand that I am not a fanatic chasing light. I am just a mirror, reflecting the nature and desires of others."
Russell sighed deeply: "Those geniuses who chase 'talent' are like moths chasing fire. The fire of talent is dangerous and charming... Their desire for glory will one day destroy them. I used to
I once knew someone like this...but I don't even want to be him because I feel intimidated.
"I don't have as strong a talent as them, or such a resilient mind. What I'm good at is imitation and optimization. I'm not an inventor, just a craftsman. The advantages I have that are not worth mentioning are just learned from others.
It's just the talent stolen there. I have met many outstanding people... Now I am very clear-headed in this regard."
His life on Sogo Island was a valuable experience that cooled down Russell's arrogant heart.
The memory of his previous life made Russell more cautious and humble.
There are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains... Once you accept this setting, you will no longer regard yourself as Long Aotian, the only one in the world.
Instead, it will be smashed to pieces.
"but……"
Russell narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mr. Bishop, you just said... Lycaon?"
——Wasn’t he killed?
"This is why I want to keep you."
The old man nodded slightly with a solemn expression.
The Lord Bishop spoke slowly and said something to Russell that he could not fully understand for a moment:
"Lycaon knows you are back. He wants to see you.
"Of course...it depends on you whether to see him or not."
"...Isn't he dead?"
Russell frowned: "What do you mean?"
Do you want to send me down there to meet him?
Or is he actually not dead?
What about his bloody head? Special effects?
Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly.
He thought for a moment and then asked tentatively: "You should know... your chairman is also a member of our church."
"He is...a saint in this world."
Russell replied disapprovingly.
He thought to himself, if I wasn't afraid of scaring you, I could transform her into a living person right now and bring her out to show you.
"According to my understanding, you should have had an encounter with the 'monkey-faced eagle'."
The old man spoke slowly and said in a tactful and deep voice: "Then you should understand that the death of the body does not mean the death of the spirit."
After hearing this, Russell fell silent.
"……I see."
He closed his eyes and sighed slowly.
This is the last piece of the puzzle.
My health is getting better, at least my headache is better, and I can continue to work on the plot... I was so groggy for the past two days that I didn't dare to write anymore, because I was afraid that I would dig a hole for myself by posting it because I was out of my mind...
