Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
How heavy the topic of death was. Jin Xiangdong acted calmly while his heart was stung by these words. He understood why his father was agitated. After all, to common people, death was the end of life.
Jin Xiangdong interposed with more questions. “Father, what if I tell you that soone can save Jason? Would you believe ?”
A glint of surprise flashed by Jin Shengping’s eyes as if he thought he was hearing things, “What... What did you say?”
“Death is not the end.” Jin Xiangdong ca to the point.
Jin Shengping stared at Jin Xiangdong for a few seconds. “Xingdong, I may not be able to understand the grief you are feeling completely. But, like you, I don’t want to see the passing of Jason, to see the withering of such a young life. However, people’s lives are vulnerable. Nobody can reverse the natural process of life, aging, illness, or death!”
Jin Xiangdong shook his head. “It can be reversed.”
Jin Shengping was baffled. “Xiangdong!”
Jin Xiangdong argued. “In this world, I am not the only unique person. There is more advanced technology that we are ignorant of, a technology that can bring people back to life!”
Jin Shengping kept his looks on his son as he attempted to confirm that he was hearing right, “Technology that can bring people back to life?”
“A combination of human and Artificial Intelligence!” Jin Xiangdong explained.
“A combination of human and Artificial Intelligence?” Jin Shengping repeated those words. “That is only the ultimate illusion people have about the developnt of Artificial Intelligence.”
Jin Xiangdong held his stance and continued to debate. “No, that is no longer an illusion. It has beco a fact!”
Jin Shengping’s eyes glowed in curiosity. “Which company has turned that into reality?”
“I don’t know!” Jin Xiangdong shook his head.
Jin Shengping was taken aback. “Xiangdong, are you losing your mind?”
“Father, my mind is quite clear. I don’t know which company’s technology has turned that illusion into reality. But I do know two cases of successful combinations of humans and AI!” Jin Xiangdong stressed.
Jin Shengping stared at Jin Xiangdong. “Two? Who?”
Under the circumstances, Jin Xiangdong had to reveal everything about Lu Jia’er to Jin Shengping which Jin Xiangdong had planned to do during their last visit. “My girlfriend Lu Jia’er and her friend Su Han.”
This answer surprised Jin Shengping a bit, “Lu?”
“I wanted to tell you several days ago but Jia’er didn’t allow , fearing that you cannot accept this fact. However, this happened to Jason so abruptly. I am compelled to tell you the truth, hoping that we can solicit so help from you!” Jin Xiangdong confessed.
“Lu is an advanced AI? How is that possible?” Jin Shengping was still in disbelief.
Jin Xiangdong blinked before he nodded. “Yes! Surprising, right?”
Jin Shengping was shocked. “It’s not rely surprising. I cannot believe that!”
“I know that it is hard to accept. But you know better than anyone that since I was young, I have never lied to you.” Jin Xiangdong reminded him.
“Indeed, you have never lied to . That being said, I still find it unbelievable that Lu is an advanced AI.” Jin Shengping was still not convinced.
“Jia’er will co back this weekend. You will believe when you see her.” Jin Xiangdong claid.
“Xiangdong, it’s not that I don’t believe you. The dream of combining AI and humans is not a fantasy if you ask . But I just don’t think it is practical at this stage. It will be incredible if such a combination exists in reality.” As a scientist, Jin Shengping had many dreams about the developnt of technology. He had high hopes. On the other hand, facts remained the most basic building blocks of science.
