The pessimism was spreading, but Simon suddenly discovered that there was a cunning look in Han Kongwen's eyes.
Although it only happened in a moment, Si Nan suddenly understood.
"You...are you testing me?"
Han Kongwen said nothing, but there was a smile on his face.
Minnie also looks the same, and the tacit understanding between the two of them is so natural that they even fooled Simon into it.
After Si Nan reacted, he said: "When you were testing me, those people were already on the way. Are you really not worried about the safety of the supreme leader?"
Han Kongwen said: "Do you really think I am the one who has the ability to protect the supreme leader?"
Simon: "Someone has to come forward."
Han Kongwen said: "I believe Xiao Qing is capable of handling those things, but on your side... I still have many questions that I haven't figured out yet."
Simon didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything more.
"Okay, you can ask, I will answer everything I know."
Han Kongwen thought for a while and then asked: "Do you still remember the time when Queen Zansbol led her lone army deep into the Mechanical King's City?"
"Remember."
"Then...can you tell me why you let go of this last lone human being?"
Si Nan thought for a while and then said: "Because the order has been terminated."
After hearing this, Han Kongwen exchanged a look with Minnie.
Minnie asked: "Oh? Is that true? Your answer is very different from what we know."
Simon said: "What you know is that I felt that destroying mankind was equivalent to destroying myself, so I decided to make a deal with Queen Zansbol, and that's what happened next?"
Minnie and Han Kongwen neither spoke nor denied it.
Si Nan understood, and he continued: "Indeed, this was what I really thought at the time, but... the termination of the order is also real, and it was issued long before Queen Zansbol's army penetrated into my royal city, but I
We just decided to implement it at the end.”
After hearing this, Han Kongwen nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you for the time being, then the next question."
"you say."
"What is your relationship with the First King Lemidia? Is the fall of the First King really because of her favoring Kui, as recorded in history?"
Si Nan said: "Although I am the former master of the original number ocean, there is still a part of the blank space in my memory... and I think this part of the blank space should be related to the fall of the first salary king... but I don't
What I understand is why the key to this part of my memory has not disappeared, but I still remember her..."
Han Kongwen was a little dissatisfied after hearing this. This was one of the questions she was more concerned about, but it seemed that it was impossible to get the answer now.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now...ask something related to the present moment."
"good."
"Do you... know about the 'factor'?"
"Know."
"Then when did you first know about the 'factor'?"
"At the beginning of my birth." Simon.
"What?" Han Kongwen really didn't expect it to be so early.
Minnie was also a little unconvinced: "You mean... humans should have discovered the 'factor' earlier?"
Simon: "Yes, the 'factor' is not a secret at all, and according to my records, there were people studying the 'factor' as early as the Darkest Civilization period."
Han Kongwen nodded. What Si Nan said was consistent with the previous report of the joint investigation team.
only……
“Then why didn’t people later know about the existence of ‘factors’?”
Simon: "Because I'm afraid."
"Fear?"
"Yes, I don't know if your researchers have told you that the 'factors' currently discovered on Gaia are extremely destructive... This disordered 'factor' is actually not a complete 'factor'
', it can only bring destruction, but loses the most critical part of creation!"
Han Kongwen has never heard Su An mention it. Is there something hidden in his research report?
After hearing this, Minnie interjected: "Then you have done a good job in the blockade... As far as I know... the early scientists of the empire are still studying the 'factor', and then no one has done it for more than a thousand years."
Do you know it exists anymore?"
Simon said: "With me here, it's easy to block this matter."
"Oh? Then... you should know a lot of secrets about the 'factor', right?" Minnie asked following Simon's words.
Si Nan smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, I may disappoint you..."
"What? You don't want to tell me that you know nothing about the existence of the 'factor', do you?"
Simon shook his head: "I don't know everything, but maybe not as much as you expected."
Han Kongwen: "Then tell me what you know."
Si Nan said, "Yes, but I have a condition."
Han Kongwen was startled, while Minnie frowned and said in a cold voice: "Hey, I just felt like you were a little bit pleasing to my eye, and now you're starting to negotiate terms?"
Simon said: "Don't be anxious, listen to my conditions first."
Han Kongwen: "Then tell me."
"I can hand over to you all the research reports related to 'factors' that I know about, but... you also have to hand over to me the data on the order of 'factors' that you are currently studying."
"Oh? What are your intentions?" Minnie warned.
Han Kongwen also said: "You also said that the 'factor' is extremely destructive... You can even say it bluntly... whoever masters the 'factor' now has the final say! So... your conditions...
…I can’t agree.”
"Then..." Simon hesitated, but finally he made a decision: "...What if I hand over my own source code core to you for safekeeping?"
Han Kongwen and Minnie were both stunned. It was obvious that they did not expect that Simon would do so thoroughly.
"Are you kidding?"
"For ideals, there are always sacrifices and a bit of adventurous spirit... These awareness... are all necessary." Si Nan proved with practical actions that he was not joking.
His heart opened wide, and a blue core like a crystal ball slowly emerged.
In that core, something like a microscopic universe spins.
Han Kongwen and Minnie saw clearly that this was the real core of the final source code...
When the golden birdcage was destroyed, the core of the source code sank into the depths of the original number sequence... Although Han Kongwen and others had tried to find his whereabouts... the reality was no different than finding a needle in a haystack... not to mention that this was the original number.
Xu Hai... It is impossible to find it with human strength.
But now... the evolved Canary has really spent a lot of money to gain the trust of Han Kongwen and others.
Minnie's superstring calculation core quickly calibrated the authenticity of the core, and finally determined that this core was indeed the origin of Sinan.
"Do you really trust us?" Minnie asked.
Simon said: "Trust is mutual, and I don't want nothing, right?"
Han Kongwen looked at Si Nan, pondered for a while and then said: "I feel your sincerity... but... the matter is so important that I cannot decide it alone."
Si Nan said: "I know that the current research data reports on 'Factors' are managed separately. Otherwise, you would not be able to trust Chu Yunlan's son to take charge of this project... But as long as I get a promise from you,
For others, I will convince them."
Minnie looked at the slowly rotating core and said, "But you only have one heart... Are you planning to split it into several parts?"
Si Nan said: "It depends on your decision, but it is impossible for me to hand over my life to some unknown people, so... you discuss it first, and then I will determine who is qualified to participate, and ultimately it will be up to you
Conclusion, how?"
Han Kongwen looked at the core in front of her... It was impossible to say that she was not moved...
Although Sinan is no longer the master of the original number ocean, he is the creator of the original number ocean... If we can win over this powerful ally, then even if the central rappel has been secretly taken over... As long as
On the human side, Si Nan, with the existing superstring computation technology... it is not a problem to recreate an ocean of numbers.
But... Han Kongwen was not carried away.
She looked at Si Nan and said, "I feel your sincerity...but...what's your purpose?"
Simon said: "There are two purposes..."
"Two?" Minnie chuckled, thinking that this guy is really serious.
"Tell me."
"First, the power of the 'factor' is both fearful and desirable... If one could truly master its power, it would be transcendent for a civilization! But... I don't want to be a bystander.
…I want to personally participate and witness its completeness!”
Han Kongwen listened silently, then pondered for a while and then said: "What about the other purpose?"
"The other one...is related to my personal selfishness."
Minnie looked at Simon curiously: "Do you have any regrets in life?"
Simon also looked at Minnie in surprise: "Why do you think it's regret instead of yearning?"
Minnie raised her eyebrows: "I don't know, I just guessed, but from what you just said, haven't you determined your life goals?"
Si Nan understood, he sighed softly and said: "Although I don't want to admit it...but...you did guess it right...This is indeed a regret in my life..."
Han Kongwen: "Can you tell me something?"
Sinan put away the core, and then said: "This is a past that keeps emerging from the depths of my heart after I evolved... But this past did not happen on Gaia... but on the distant earth..."
"Huh?" Minnie was even more surprised: "Weren't you born in the Xinwang period? How come you have memories of the earth?"
Si Nan shook his head: "I don't know...but I am sure that this past is not a virtual code forged by others...but a real thing...that may involve my true origin..."
The real origin... Han Kongwen was silent for a while and then asked: "Is this memory clear?"
Si Nan thought for a while and then replied: "Some places are very clear... but some places are very blurry... clear places... such as feeling... cold... the cold that makes me feel scared... and the feeling after joy.
Despair...well...and...this memory...belongs to two people..." 7
