How human beings live forever, Qin Shihuang turned to alchemists, while foreigners turned to various technologies.

After a person dies, save his thoughts, and relatives can also communicate by phone. It feels as though it came from "The Matrix".

However, this method seems to be not mature enough. With the extension of the time of death, the thinking will become weaker and weaker, and finally you will have to face parting.

The story begins under this setting.

Based on the continuous flashbacks, it may be understood that the male protagonist lost his wife in a car accident. As a technical man, of course he will not be satisfied with the shortcomings of current technology. He is determined to upgrade his technology.

With funding from the consortium, the technical man started his private work in a secret base.

Of course, this is not allowed by the consortium, and the domineering boss of the consortium has warned this disobedient technical man more than once.

It's a pity that nothing can stop the strong love of technical men.

After continuous development, the technical man finally completed his own innovation.

Since the current storage technology cannot meet the requirements, it is better to use a robot as a carrier, and then download your wife's thinking to the robot, so that you can be with your wife forever.

In fact, he almost did it.

However, before the machine was downloaded, her consciousness had been cultivated. How could she accept that she was just a carrier?

This is a strong conflict.

In order to enhance the effect, this conflict occurred before the consortium discovered the "conspiracy" of the technical man and began to take over.

In the end, the machine decided to sacrifice itself for the technical man.

And the expected reversal did not happen unexpectedly.

The ending of the story is actually no surprise.

Those who are familiar with the road of the old coat can basically guess in the middle.

However, the story is probably about machines and people.

In the story, a total of three versions of robots appeared.

The IQ of the first generation of robots was only about four or five years old. In his nature, he just thinks that the male lead is the person closest to him, so he is willing to be exposed to the wind and rain, but also to wait for his "master". He expresses his feelings in a slightly clumsy way.

The second-generation robots already have considerable IQ. Of course, she also has her own thinking ability, she will be jealous, she will be sad. She still didn't understand why the technical man took off his legs and gave it to three generations without hesitation. She still didn't understand why the technical man didn't update himself, but chose to start over. So she chose "suicide".

Personally, this is the biggest highlight of the story. In the mind of a technical man, he probably never regarded a machine as a real communication object. On his so-called exploration road, everything is just a tool.

The third-generation robots are already comparable to the "wives" of technical men. But as a machine, she actually understood the truth a long time ago, and she understood the pain she suffered in this machine world. However, she also understood the obsession of the technical man, so she had no choice but to watch the ending happen.

Perhaps the light flashing from these three generations of robots is what human beings should really learn.
