Chapter 696

Bian Ziyuan has just finished a project meeting. At the meeting, he severely reprimanded the person in charge of the development team. The progress was too slow and there were too many bugs, which occupied a lot of resources, but did not achieve satisfactory results.

What he couldn't tolerate most was that the project director actually regarded himself as an old man in Mei's laboratory. Relying on his friendship with Professor Mei in his early years, he publicly contradicted him at the meeting, saying that he was "young, aggressive and lack of awe of science".

Bian Ziyuan, who was not what he used to be, patted the table on the spot. Speaking of his awe of science, he admitted that no one in the world could surpass him. After all, who would risk losing his life and losing his mind, and put a chip on his neck!

Of course, he will not publicize his sacrifice for science like a gossip. What can I say? Genius never shows off his genius, and great men never show off their greatness.

Today, he can really use greatness to describe himself, although his brain has become a rented woman's house and is about to be unable to live. But as long as he thinks of the "great" cause he is engaged in and the changes he will bring to the world, he is floating. The most floating time is undoubtedly when Mei Ziqing leans against him.

Sometimes, he wondered if he had become another person, just like those who had been successfully parasitized by aliens. At this time, he will feel fear and loneliness.

When he was afraid and lonely, he would drink. The only one who can drink with him is Lao Yu from the reception room.

Lao Yu is probably the only person left in May's laboratory who has nothing to do with scientific research.

Since Bian Ziyuan entered the laboratory to work, the laboratory has experienced several unmanned transformation in recent years. Artificial intelligence has replaced most of the labor with low technical content, including security and cleaning.

Lao Yu was originally on the list of layoffs. He should have been dismissed the last time he was unmanned. However, Mei Tui advocated leaving him on the grounds that "the mark of an era should be retained and the laboratory should leave a little human flavor".

Most people have no objection, and AI people have not put forward "opinions". Anyway, Lao Yu can't take their jobs.

Bian Ziyuan is willing to stay. At least, he can be less lonely when he drinks.

He came out of the meeting room angrily, leaving behind him the heavy slam of the door.

He decided to drink. When he left the door of the laboratory, he thought of Lao Yu.

He glanced at the special reception room where Lao Yu lived. The reason why it is special is that it is the only room in the whole building that has not been transformed by artificial intelligence. The circuit used in the house is still a few years ago, the computer has not been changed, and there is even an old TV. No one watches TV now.

I'm not in the house. Bian Zi was a little disappointed, but he soon adjusted his mind. After all, he is now an important figure in the laboratory. After Mei Tuo was seriously ill and hospitalized, Mei Ziqing became the actual controller of the laboratory, and he is undoubtedly the second person. He can't let people find his inner vulnerability, and can't let people see that he always goes to the old man in the reception room to drink with him.

Lao Yu is sweeping the floor at the corner of the courtyard outside the gate. The ground is not dirty. There are a few scattered fallen leaves. In winter, the trees are already bare.

When Bian Ziyuan passed by Lao Yu, he looked at the ubiquitous monitoring, stood up straight, pulled the straight suit, coughed gently, and said like a leader, "just let the automatic cleaning robot do the sweeping."

He is too old to lift his head, but he can't lift his rickety back. He stood there holding the broom, a head shorter than the edge.

He said, "it's all right. I'm just a laborer. I can't get down. When I'm idle, I feel old and useless."

Bian Ziyuan said, "well, that's a good point. If only all the project workers in the company had such awareness, they would procrastinate one by one and don't want to make progress. Lao Yu, I don't think we should organize a general meeting tomorrow. You can tell us about it."

Lao Yu quickly waved his hand: "Oh, I can't. what can I say? I don't understand anything."

Bian Ziyuan said, "just talk about your restless mentality. What is lacking in this era is the energy and spirit of your older generation."

Lao Yu said, "Mr. Bian, don't joke. These days, I even sweep the floor. How can I talk to you great scientists!"

Bian Ziyuan no longer insisted. He patted Yu on the shoulder and said, "it's all right. You're good to do. The laboratory needs you." then he left with his back hands and didn't mention drinking.

Lao Yu shouted at him behind his back, "President Bian, it's cold outside. Don't you put on a coat!"

Far away, I felt the cold wind blowing on my face like an ice knife. The inside of the experimental building is constant temperature and always keeps the warmth of spring. There are two worlds with the outside. When he came out, he was also affected by the meeting. His remaining anger did not dissipate, but he forgot the cold.

He wanted to go back to the office to get his windbreaker, but finally he didn't look back. He endured the uncontrollable shivering, tried to keep his body straight in the cold wind, and slightly raised his insignificant beer belly, as if he could resist the cold army going south of Siberia.

A driverless car came and stopped far away. He got into the car and said, "it's so cold. Go and have a drink."

Lao Yu held the broom and looked at the car steering wheel. No one was automatic. He drove away like a ghost and smiled foolishly.

"Drink, good, good..." he swept the last few leaves to the corner and said to the automatic cleaning robot that looks like a Le color bucket, "I'll give it to you. I'll drink."

Lao Yu put away his broom, turned around, bent his back and walked away. He didn't notice that when a gust of wind came, the folded leaves were scattered again.

The robot that looks like a Le se bucket swiveled around the ground, and all the leaves were put into its belly. It returned to its original position and shook twice, as if laughing at old Yu's clumsiness. Then there was a hair dryer like whirring sound in my stomach, and I burped like I was full, and then I stopped moving.

When Yu came to the small restaurant, Bian Ziyuan was already sitting in the corner. There are four small dishes and a bottle of Erguotou on the table. This is the habit they keep drinking. They are jokingly called four old people - old place, old four, old bottle, and old.

Bian Ziyuan said, "I'm redundant."

"That's because you're young, you're not old," Yu said

Bian Ziyuan said, "yes, when I get old, I will become five old - old place, old four, old bottle, old and old Bian."

Lao Yu said, "no, it's still the same as the old four. Because when you were old, I was gone."

Bian Zi was inexplicably sad from a distance.

Only when he drank did he feel that he was real and far away. Not a genius, not a scientist, not a leader, not a parasite. He is Bian Ziyuan, who once had dreams and liked playing games.

He said, "Uncle Yu, you've lived all your life. It's worth it."

Lao Yu said, "what's my value? I haven't done anything in my life. Unlike you, I've done great things."

Bian Ziyuan said, "no matter big or small, at least you have lived a lifetime. Maybe the world will disappear tomorrow. As soon as you open your eyes, you find that you just have a dream."

"How could it!" old Yu Mimi drank and squinted. "If I dream, I don't have to wake up?"

"Then you have at least had a complete dream!" Bian Ziyuan said.

Lao Yu said, "if you really dream, it's better to wake up late than early."

Bian Ziyuan said, "if you really want to wake up, you're afraid of falling from one dream to another."

Lao Yu said, "whatever its dreams, drink!"

Bian Ziyuan raised his glass, "yes, let's drink."

A bottle of Erguotou went down, and Bian Ziyuan got up to go.

Old Yu asked, "do you want to stop drinking?"

Bian Ziyuan put on his coat, dusted the dust on his shoulders, changed back to the appearance of a leader, raised his chest and hinterland, and said, "people should abide by the rules."

Lao Yu didn't think there were always four rules. Just when he wanted to say something, Bian Ziyuan suddenly asked him, "are you also playing the game of dream guide?"

Lao Yu nodded and said, "yes, last year, the professor gave me the old space box he used. He said that everyone in the laboratory has it and can't lack me alone. Hey hey... In fact, I'm not very good at using it."

Bian Ziyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "it's best not to use it. Don't use it in the future."
