Chapter 926 - The Mystery Of Ren Xiaosus Background (1/2)
”Zero?” Yang Xiaojin thought back and said, ”You mean the AI, Zero, has appeared in front of us as a human? How did it do that?”
”I don't know how it did it, but that's the intuition I have.” Ren Xiaosu said, ”I was able to sense it every time it called me even when its voice was disguised. It's extremely rational and will occasionally reveal its supercomputing ability. Remember when it worked with Ji Zi'ang, they made use of 12 points in a mountain to make it collapse? You've got a good knowledge of demolition too, so you should understand that no matter how good a demolition expert might be, there still has to be a limit. It's still possible to destroy a mountain by yourself, but I don't think it's possible to guide someone to destroy a mountain with just a few pointers.”
Actually, Ren Xiaosu was not very sure of his answer, because even though the Wang Consortium's artificial intelligence was very advanced, the question was, what kind of technology was there to create a physical vessel for the artificial intelligence to inhabit? There was no programmable function in the human brain, after all.
He had also never heard of the Wang Consortium making any breakthrough in this area.
Wait a minute! Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought of something but could not grasp that fleeting thought.
”Forget it, the Wang Consortium's problems don't really have anything to do with us.” Yang Xiaojin said, ”I've been thinking about something recently. Previously, you mentioned to P5092 that you seem to have an innate talent for hunting, like someone's taught you before. I'd like to ask what that's about.”
”Oh,” Ren Xiaosu answered, ”it's not just talent for hunting that I have. We've traveled together before, so you should know about my skills in wilderness survival. For example, I know how to start a fire in the wilderness and set up camp to avoid snakes, bugs, ants, etc. It's like someone taught me all those skills before.”
”Like someone has taught you before?” Yang Xiaojin asked, ”Can you describe this feeling in detail?”
”It feels like someone very close to me once traveled across mountains and rivers and brought me along. That powerful feeling of intimacy is always something that I have around me,” Ren Xiaosu recalled, lost in thought. ”That's why I like the wilderness so much. It's not only wilderness survival; I'm also self-taught at rock climbing. I know how to triangulate a position and find the best route to take. It's as though I was born with the knowledge to do all that.”
”You weren't born with it.” Yang Xiaojin shook her head. ”Those skills exist in your lost memories. This might be the clue to solving the mystery of your background. Do you understand what I mean? There aren't many people in the world who have the same survival skills as you, so I don't think your background is typical either.”
Yang Xiaojin was very sure of this, as she had witnessed Ren Xiaosu's wilderness survival skills before. Were they things that just anyone could possess? So if it were really as Ren Xiaosu had said, someone must have taught him all of that before. In that case, the other party's traits should be very obvious.
Who was the person who taught Ren Xiaosu? Yang Xiaojin speculated that person was his father.
Only a father would patiently teach their children and spend a great deal of effort to nurture them.
”Is there anything else? Anything related to the lost memories?” Yang Xiaojin asked.
”Oh yeah.” Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, ”One winter, when it snowed heavily at Stronghold 113, I was out looking for food when I got stuck in the mountains. At that time, I really wanted to chop down a few wooden planks and ski down from the mountain. But when I realized that the conditions didn't allow for it, I didn't do so. However, my desire for skiing remained fresh in my mind. After this war is over, let's go skiing together in the Northwest this winter. I heard that it's a snowy place, so it should be quite suitable for skiing.”
”Sure.” Yang Xiaojin smiled and got up to walk back towards the camp. ”Deal.”
Ren Xiaosu was still sitting at the perimeter of the defensive position and looking forward to a beautiful life after the war was over. When he returned to the Northwest, he would no longer have to engage in fighting and killing. How great would that be?
However, Ren Xiaosu did not notice that Yang Xiaojin did not return to her tent. Instead, she headed straight for Wang Yun's tent.
After she called Wang Yun outside, he asked, ”Ma'am, what are you looking for me for?”
