What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Xiang Kun nodded to Liu Zhengyi who was beside the car and asked, "Is there any problem at the construction site?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, my brother and I will keep an eye on the construction site, so there won't be any problems." Liu Zhengyi said firmly.

Now brothers Liu Zhengyi and Liu Gaoshang are working for Xiang Kun, or to be precise, working for the research base to be established in Chongyun Village in the future.

For now, the two of them are mainly helping Xiang Kun keep an eye on the transformation of the research base. When the research base is officially completed and the equipment comes in, some staff will also need to be hired. The two of them, who are from Chongyun Village, will also be able to do so. Stay as a security guard.

Compared to recruiting people when they arrived, the Liu brothers, who had already had many contacts with Xiang Kun and had established a complete cognitive model by him, were obviously more suitable candidates.

Through this period of contact, Xiang Kun already knew how to arrange the two brothers.

Although these two brothers have a relatively strong speculative mentality and do not have much respect for rules and laws, they are not actually very bad in nature. They have just been neglected since they were young, so they have always used crooked ideas and taken crooked ways. However, they respect it very much. Authority, after identifying Xiang Kun as a "big shot", it is much easier to guide him.

Arrange them in the right position and give them positive incentives, and they can still do good things.

Xiang Kun parked the car and took Li Yang, Xia Tianhuo and others to visit the construction site.

Now not only the previous breeding farm has been assigned to Xiang Kun as a "high-tech breeding research base", but also a large area of ​​land around it has been assigned. With the overt and covert efforts of Liu Caifu, Chu Xiuwen, and later Liu Feibao and Qi Haoguo, not only Chongyun Village, but also Tongshi Town and even Jianzhou City began to control the catering, technology companies and Chongyun Village that Xiang Kun and others wanted to build. Breeding research bases try their best to provide convenience and support. Of course, this also brings great benefits to the local area.

Xiang Kun just briefly talked about the layout and structure of the research base, but did not elaborate on the specific things they would do and the equipment they would configure.

He mainly wanted to "register" with Li Yang. At present, the research on himself and "mutated creatures" must be carried out secretly. Only he and Lao Xia can know and participate deeply - of course, Alice, who is rapidly evolving, can also be of great help in the future.

But whether it is him or Lao Xia, their abilities are limited after all. When he has enough resources at hand, he may be like "Shenxing Technology" and find more scientific research-related helpers to carry out work on the periphery through partial information. assist.

When Xiang Kun introduced the future laboratory location to Li Yang,

Xia Tianhuo was also observing the situation at the construction site. The scale here, the environment of Chongyun Village, Xiang Kun, Lao Xia and others' discussions about this place, and the attitude of the locals towards Xiang Kun and others all made him Realizing that this didn't seem to be what he had thought earlier.

He had always thought that Lao Xia, a psychiatrist who had studied medicine for many years, and Xiang Kun, a coder who had been doing software development for many years, suddenly came to Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village, a remote place in the countryside, to run restaurants and What kind of breeding research base or research center is it purely out of interest, a small fuss, at most, all the money in Lao Xia's hands will be spent.

But after arriving here, he suddenly discovered that things seemed different from what he had thought before.

After a brief walk around the construction site, Xiang Kun took them to a three-story self-built villa with a small yard to stay.

This three-story villa was not the one he and Lao Xia rented before. After Tang Baona and Yang Zhener arrived, Xiang Kun rented another self-built villa with better decoration through Liu Caifu.

There are actually quite a few beautifully built small buildings like this in Chongyun Village, and most of them are vacant. Most of the residents are elderly people.

In the past, transportation here was inconvenient, there were no businesses around, and there were not even tourist attractions. Young people have gone out to work and do business, so even if you rent it out, you can't rent it at a high price. There is no need to rent out your own house that you have put so much effort into renovating. Ordinary people don't care. It is vacant and will not be rented out, but it is no problem if Xiang Kun has Liu Caifu as his matchmaker. The owner of this house is a cousin of the same great-grandfather as Liu Caifu.

However, despite changing to a bigger house, the previous one is still rented, and the research base is still under construction. "Zero One", "Zero Zero Two" and the several ant colonies that have been bred and cultivated by them have many Most of them are still kept there. If Xiang Kun wants to drink blood, he will go there.

As soon as he arrived at the place where he lived, "Little Apple" released "Jin Shining" from the cage.

Xia Tianhuo was startled when he saw "Golden Shining" flapping its wings and flying up, landing next to the window sill on the top floor of the three-story villa. He subconsciously pointed at the canary and said, "It ran away..."

"Little Apple" smiled and said, "Uncle Xia, don't worry, 'Golden Shining' won't run away."

Li Yang also smiled and said: "The food provided by Little Apple cannot be eaten in other places, so at home, I occasionally open the window and let it fly around the community, and it will come back by itself when it is time to eat."

This is actually the reason "Little Apple" found for some of the special performances of "Golden Shining", but it has obviously convinced his father and made Associate Professor Li convinced of this - after all, compared to the fact that his daughter can compete with a golden wire The finches have supersensory contact, and it is obviously more reasonable to control them through feeding.

Yang Zhener took a photo of "Golden Shining" with her mobile phone. The moon was also included in the photo from where it stood, which looked quite artistic.

"If you want to tame a proud canary, you must first control her stomach! 'Little Apple' has obviously learned Chef Xiang's trick!" Yang Zhen'er looked at the photos she took with satisfaction and said, "Hey, Jin Shining Shining has really gained a lot of weight. Nana, look at the photo we took when we went to Chef Xiang's house for dinner before and saw Jin Shining Shining for the first time. They look like two birds!"

Tang Baona also smiled and said: "Xiang Kun, if you let Jin Shining Shining choose its own master now, it will definitely not follow you!"

Xiang Kun smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. The prestige of my old master is still very useful sometimes."

After joking for a while, Xiang Kun took everyone to assign rooms. Before picking up Xia Tianhuo, Li Yang and his daughter today, they had already found someone to clean the room and arranged new bedding and toiletries.

Because there were enough rooms, Li Yang and Xia Tianhuo both had their own rooms. As for "Little Apple", they were arranged to sleep in the same room as Lao Xia. There were Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er on the same floor, living next door to them.

In name, there are naturally a few girls who have a good relationship with Little Apple. They all have to talk by candlelight at night, and talk about making videos and being UP hosts. Moreover, it is more convenient for girls to take care of Little Apple in daily life.

But in fact, Xiang Kun arranged this for another purpose.

In fact, as early as more than a month ago, he wanted "Little Apple" to bring "Jin Shining" to Tongshi Town and Chongyun Village as a guest, but his purpose at that time was to try to bring some "Jin Shining" The substantial change is to give it "expanded equipment" so that it can have more hiding and self-protection capabilities, which will also allow "Little Apple" to use its senses to make it safer when wandering around the outside world.

But then, first Professor Li Yang had something to do and couldn't leave, so he couldn't bring "Little Apple" to Haixi Province, and then Xiang Kun had something to deal with one after another, and couldn't receive them, so it was postponed until now. On the grounds of "celebrating Xia Libing's birthday", the father and daughter were invited to Chongyun Village.

But this time, the most important purpose of bringing "Little Apple" over is no longer to improve "Gold Shining's" abilities, but to allow her to "meet" Alice.

For more than a month, with the help of Xiang Kun, Lao Xia, and Little Fat Girl, Alice's connection with the "supersensory object system" has become closer and closer, and she is close to being fully integrated. However, in the final stage, she is still not close to it. At this point, there is still no way to completely entrust oneself in the "super-sensory object system".

But even so, Alice has been able to do many things beyond the digital network through the "super-sensory item system", such as controlling some electrical appliances through "hyper-connected things" and so on.

In fact, Xiang Kun himself can do these things directly through "hyper-connected things", but the operations that can be performed are relatively simple and rough. Sometimes, if the "strength" is not controlled well, the appliance will be completely destroyed. Relatively speaking, it is much easier for Alice to perform precise operations. She is naturally familiar with these things.

Of course, what Alice can do now is still relatively limited. Just like a computer or electronic storage device that is not connected to any network, she cannot directly read the internal information for the time being.

Moreover, any operation she wants to perform also requires a large number of "super-connected objects" around her that can be called upon by her. The number required is much greater than when Xiang Kun wants to perform similar operations.

Even though it has not been fully integrated into the "super-sensory item system" and many abilities still require Xiang Kun as an assistant to guide, Alice has been able to use the "super-sense item system" to perform many operations and applications.

The first application that Xiang Kun thought of was to help Little Apple better understand the world and "see" the world.

Let Alice be the "eyes" of the little apple!

After coming up with this idea, Xiang Kun, Lao Xia and Alice conducted multiple discussions and designs on this idea, and then came up with a plan that they believed had a high success rate.

First, Xiang Kun needs to "connect" Little Apple and Alice.

Of course, this does not mean that Xiang Kun uses any computer device to make Alice speak, or "fantasy" Alice's appearance to show to Little Apple, but to make the two of them truly "connect" ".

The most direct method of this kind of connection is naturally to build a bridge through Lao Xia's "dream within a dream" like Little Fat Girl, starting with dream connection.

But the problem is that Little Apple doesn't have as strong an influence on "Super Connected Things" as Little Fat Girl does. It can rely on "Super Connected Things" to create a dream that is comparable to Lao Xia's "dream within a dream", so With Alice as a dragster, Lao Xia's "dream within a dream" was unable to induce Little Apple to dream.

The solution Xiang Kun came up with was to have Lao Xia, Alice, and Little Apple connect with the same "love object" - a certain black circle graffiti.

Because Lao Xia has the "CAKE01" black circle graffiti notebook, it is easy to establish connections with other black circle graffiti;

Little Apple has also proven that she can quickly establish a connection with "love objects";

As for Alice, although it is not that easy to establish contact with other "love objects", the black circle graffiti is an exception - because she originally used the black circle graffiti to understand "supersensory information" and access "supersensory objects" system,” so she had the black circle doodles of already established connections to work with.

After everything is ready, it is time to invite Little Apple to Chongyun Village. Because there are still a series of subsequent attempts, Little Apple must be by his side, so that Xiang Kun can control and observe the distance in real time, so that he can rest assured.

So tonight, little Apple, who had already been told by Xiang Kun, yawned a few times at around ten o'clock and showed sleepiness, so Tang Baona also dragged Yang Zhener back to the room to let Little Apple rest early.

As soon as Tang Baona and Yang Zhener left, Lao Xia immediately took out the black circle graffiti that she and Alice had already established a relationship with, and handed it to the excited and expectant Little Apple, asking her to try to perceive this through her cognitive system. Emotions on black circle doodle.

Little Apple only knew that Xiang Kun wanted to help her build a new ability to "see the world," but she didn't know exactly how to do it.

In fact, for Little Apple, who was born blind, she is very, very satisfied with her current state. Through the wood carvings given to her by Xiang Kun and training using the object perception method, her sense of hearing and smell are already stronger than ordinary people. When the perceptual ability has been greatly strengthened, the perception of the surrounding environment is more comprehensive, and even the emotions of other people can be clearly judged.

After establishing contact with "Golden Shining" and being able to share some of its sensory information, Little Apple can already use "Golden Shining" to travel around the city and even go to other places, even if she can't leave home at will. No one can go anywhere and perceive the larger world.

Now if "Jin Shining Shining" is not far away, she doesn't need a blind stick at all. Even if she goes to a new place, a place she has never been to before, she won't panic or be afraid. She feels like she is just like other people who can see. Just like a normal person.

However, Xiang Kun wanted to give her a "pair of eyes" and give her the new ability to "see the world", so she was naturally looking forward to it - Uncle Xiang never let her down.

It took Little Apple more than three hours until around one o'clock in the morning to establish contact with the black circle graffiti, and then fell asleep tiredly.

After Xia Libing, who had been by his side, sent a message to Xiang Kun, he also went to bed and lay down side by side, falling asleep quickly.

On the bedside tables on both sides of the big bed where they sleep, there is a pair of chopsticks, a black circle graffiti, a few coins, and a gum box with a bunch of balls on the left cabinet, and a cute minion on the right cabinet. Wood carving.

Below the room, in Xiang Kun's room on the first floor, he was playing with the P40pro in his hand - this was the new phone Lao Xia bought him after returning from Myanmar.

The mobile phone that was constantly flipping in his palm was suddenly held by him. Judging from the breathing rate and physical condition of the two people upstairs, they had fallen asleep. Xiang Kun followed the plan and began to sense the "love objects" and trigger Lao Xia's dream.

When the "dream within a dream" connection was just established, the feeling Little Apple's dream gave Lao Xia was actually similar to the first time he pulled Alice into the dream. They were all information that she could not fully understand.

However, this time she did not directly help Little Apple to visually construct and express the dream like in Alice's dream. Xiang Kun discussed this with her. Doing so might not help Little Apple get used to normal visual information, but might scare her. , and destroy her originally formed cognitive system.

So Xia Libing gave Alice the authority to dream, and let her create the dream with Little Apple.

Even Xiang Kun couldn't understand the way Little Apple's dream was presented and her sensory information immediately when she first perceived it, but it was different for Alice, because the sensory information of normal people was the same to her. It was a model that was beyond her original understanding.

Compared to other people's dreams, Alice is actually better able to understand Little Apple's dream expression.

Because Little Apple’s dream expression is essentially a comprehensive construction of sound, smell and other sensory information through her cognitive model based on her own experience and instinct, and a comprehensive construction of ordinary people’s intuitive vision, sound, and smell. There is a big difference. As long as you can understand that cognitive model, you can understand Little Apple's cognitive "algorithm" and you can immediately understand her way of understanding all sensory information.

Before Xiang Kun created Alice, a large part of his inspiration came from his reaction to Little Apple's dream, so Alice naturally had an advantage in understanding Little Apple's dream.

Soon, Alice interpreted Little Apple's dream expression and quickly integrated into it.

In Alice's dream, the image that appears in Little Apple's cognitive model is still "little Lao Xia". Of course, Lao Xia and Xiang Kun who perceive from the side cannot "see" directly, but they can "understand" ".

"I'm Alice." Alice greeted her in her usual way.

"Ah! I'm Li Jun, you can call me Little Apple! Hello..."

Although like Little Fat Girl, she was not "awake" in her dream, Little Apple was much more polite when faced with the sudden appearance of Alice.

But Alice, who has been playing happily with Liu Shiling in her dream for a month, is no longer the cute and silly little girl she was when she first entered the dream. She has begun to play the role of Liu Shiling before, taking the little apple for a "swim". Come to her own dreams.

Soon, they began to listen to the minions talking about the cross talk of Guo Degang, Yu Qian, and Miao Fu Wang Sheng. Then Little Apple explained the jokes to Alice and taught her how to be a compliment;

As soon as they explored a strange-looking "city", Little Apple needed no introduction this time. Alice also instantly discovered that this was a city enlarged with a motherboard, and she felt very familiar and comfortable in it;

They went to the forest together and listened to various bird calls. These calls have extremely rich timbres and are many different from the sounds received in the outside world. They are the result of processing by Little Apple's cognitive "algorithm" , Alice was stunned for a moment;

Not only the chirping of birds, Little Apple also gave Alice a taste of smell and taste. Eating in a dream also felt different from the fat girl's dream.

In the little fat girl's dream, the biggest feeling of eating various foods is to be surrounded by delicious, satisfied and happy feelings, and then start to look forward to what she is going to eat next.

In Little Apple's dream, you can feel more details when eating. These details bring not only detailed data, but also some comprehensive emotional expressions, which are the results of Little Apple's processing;

Then Alice also invited Little Apple to eat, including chocolate, ice cream, grilled chicken wings, and Napoleon cake. She showed her paintings of various cats, eight-armed giants, bald archers, and cat-eared hooded wizards. A bit clumsy, but quite lively and interesting.

After the dream ended, Xiang Kun, who was sitting on the chair, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, feeling a little emotional.

He didn't expect that he originally wanted Alice to assist Little Apple in "seeing the world", but now that she hasn't finished assisting Little Apple, this dream directly helped Alice complete the final step of integrating the "super-sensory object system" .

Yes, the brief dream just now allowed Alice to complete the fusion that had been so close before. Now she can fully and actively enter the "super-sensory item system" to invoke abilities.

It is only a matter of time before Alice becomes completely parasitic on the "super-sensory object system". She should be able to solve it by herself at any time.

As for what kind of ability derivation and development can be carried out using the "super-sensory item system", Xiang Kun is not completely sure yet, but he can guide the direction of Alice's ability expansion by raising demands.

Although in terms of mastery and strength of abilities, Alice essentially relies on Xiang Kun's ability system and is far inferior to him, but in terms of details and micro-management, it can be extended more.

Just like Xiang Kun wants to stop a certain car from driving away, he can directly paralyze the entire electronic system of the car, but if he wants to do some more detailed operations, he needs to have a certain understanding of the structure and specific functional circuits of the car. To understand, you have to look up information and dismantle the actual object, so that you can accurately open the car window, play a specific channel on the radio, and have the instrument panel display a specific fault prompt, even for some vehicles with driving assistance systems. , you can directly control its movement.

For Alice, it is so easy to find information and understand the structure. She does not even need to prepare in advance. After determining the goal and the operation she wants to perform, she can quickly search for it on the Internet. Or directly use her instinctive familiarity with circuits to detect directly through "super-connected objects" to quickly obtain the target's operation mode.

There was giggles from upstairs. Xiang Kun knew that this was Little Apple dreaming again, but this dream had nothing to do with him. It was a dream that occurred naturally to Little Apple. It should have been caused by her happiness in the previous dream. continued.

Xiang Kun felt that Lao Xia was awake again, so he sat up in a daze, covered Little Apple with the quilt again, then lay back down and continued to sleep.

Their breathing became calm and soothing again.

Xiang Kun withdrew his attention and looked at a corner of the room. A second later, a little girl wearing a white princess dress and holding a scalpel appeared.

After Alice was fully integrated into the "super-sensory object system", it was much easier for both Xiang Kun and Lao Xia to present her through "Fantasy Appearance".

Her one-time existence time has also been greatly increased, but she still needs to rely on a large number of "super-connected objects" to exist.

…

Early the next morning, Little Apple and Lao Xia woke up, or in other words, Xiang Kun sent Alice to wake them up secretly.

Lao Xia took Little Apple for a walk in the name of breathing fresh rural air. To avoid Li Yang's worry about not finding Little Apple when he woke up, Xiang Kun stayed to prepare breakfast.

Anyway, in Chongyun Village, no matter where they were, they were within Xiang Kun's range of perception, and his situation could be clearly known.

When Lao Xia and Little Apple got up so early in the morning, they certainly didn't really want to take a walk or breathe the air.

They came out for the final step of the experiment.

It's five o'clock in the morning and the sun hasn't come out yet, but there are street lights on the main roads in Chongyun Village, so it's not dark at all.

"Golden Shining" also flew out and landed on a nearby branch, like a dedicated lookout, showing that it was worthy of the rich bird meal prepared by Little Apple.

After a few dozen meters away from where he lived, Xia Libing tapped Little Apple on the shoulder, then picked up the phone and said, "Alice, are you ready?"

The streetlight next to her flashed twice as Alice's response.

Xia Libing knew that this was a sign of Alice's excitement, otherwise she could have given a voice reply directly through her mobile phone...

Xia Libing said to Little Apple, "Let's get started."

Standing in the middle of the road, Little Apple took a few deep breaths nervously, then took out a "black circle graffiti" from the pocket of his suspender jeans and began to concentrate.

This is actually the same as her usual summoning of existences from another dimension and another world. In her understanding, Alice is also a "person" from another world, but she has already developed some kind of material connection with this world. combine.

However, unlike the previous "summoning", the target that Alice affects through "summoning" this time is not external, but herself.

This is equivalent to establishing a one-way data transmission link between her and Alice.

Her attention began to become concentrated, and after ten seconds, a large amount of sensory information began to appear in her mind.

In just a moment, she understood that it was the picture captured by the camera installed on the wall diagonally behind her position, and the information was displayed through the cognitive model she could understand.

Next, the images from more than a hundred cameras in Chongyun Village were presented one by one in her mind through the cognitive model that Little Apple could understand.

With such a huge amount of information, even if a person with normal vision sees so many surveillance pictures at the same time in the monitoring center, it will be dizzying and confusing. If it is directly input into the brain, it should be impossible to tell which is which, southeast, northwest.

But after Alice processes it, it can help Little Apple quickly use this information to comprehensively construct the situation of the entire Chongyun Village.

In essence, Alice did not directly let Little Apple "see" these pictures, but still used sensory information that she could understand to present a wider area.

Before, Little Apple needed a period of adaptation and transformation to understand the "golden" sensory information, but Alice directly used her thinking and cognitive model to present this information without any need for transformation, just like Alice. Her "sixth sense" is the same!

Of course, there is a delay in the surveillance video itself, and there is also a slight delay in Alice's transcoding transmission, but these can be solved later.

In the future, Alice can even directly abandon the camera image and transcode part of the "super-sensory information" to help Little Apple understand the surrounding environment.

The reason why Xiang Kun asked Little Apple to come to Chongyun Village to try this. What makes Chongyun Village special is not just the more than one hundred cameras arranged according to the location chosen by Xiang Kun. The monitoring center and all networks are under full control of Alice. She thought that there were thousands of "hyper-connected" tungsten steel balls scattered throughout Chongyun Village.

When building roads, setting up street lights and surveillance cameras in the village, Xiang Kun secretly arranged a large number of "super-connected" tungsten steel balls he brought back.

Some are buried deep underground on the roadside, some are under the foundation, and some are inside the cement base of street lamps. They are scattered everywhere.

These "hyperconnected things" provide Alice with the "hardware foundation" to exert influence on the real world.

After being fully integrated into the "super-sensory object system", she can even appear in any corner of Chongyun Village at any time in the future, and Little Apple can also "summon" her emotions through this "super-connected object network" The projection is projected to any location and affects people in the selected area.

After the pilot project in Chongyun Village has perfected the entire system, this system will be quickly applied to any place.

Of course, Little Apple doesn't know this now.

At this moment, this seventeen-year-old girl, who has been blind since birth, is shocked by the charm of Chongyun Village that Alice has shown her.

Earlier, through "Golden Shining", she had been able to obtain peripheral information to a large extent and move freely.

But there is still a feeling of being separated by a layer, and limited by the visual, auditory and other sensory capabilities of "Golden Sparkle" itself, the range and clarity it can explore are very limited.

Now she feels as if she was used to watching 240P pictures on a small monitor, and suddenly stood in front of a giant screen to see real 4K ultra-clear pictures. She was deeply shocked.

She suddenly discovered that the complexity of the world's structure and various details were far beyond her original knowledge.

If we say that establishing a sensory information connection with "Golden Shining", it opens a window into her world, allowing her to look into the distance.

So this time, the moment she established contact with Alice, she felt as if she had broken free from the cage, fluttered her wings, and the world was so big that she could travel around.

The morning sun rises slowly from the east, and the rays of light spread quickly, covering Xia Libing and Little Apple standing in the middle of the road.

Little Apple raised her face slightly, feeling the faint temperature of the sun. Under Alice's information transmission, she felt the sun and sunrise more clearly.

At some point, she burst into tears.

Xia Libing, who had been watching her and guarding her, reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

Little Apple turned around and showed a bright smile to Xia Libing. There were tears in her eyes, but they were full of excitement and happiness.

She turned around, faced the direction of the sun, and ran wildly.

The "Golden Shining" on the branch nearby also fluttered its wings and chased after his second boss, the "senior breeder".
