Chapter 1166 Whose Is This Child?
"You... can you bear this responsibility?" Qu Ping sighed softly.
It is not difficult to judge from the conversation between the two that Qu Ping knew about Huang Ling, at least part of it. However, just this part made Qu Ping extremely entangled. This matter was obviously not a small matter.
Taking a closer look at Huang Ling's basement, in addition to the equipment, there are dense conduits and circuits arranged in a complex and orderly manner. Looking along the direction of these lines, they gradually converge to an equipment table at the end of the basement. This equipment table emits a soft yellow-white light and is only one meter square.
Qu Ping followed Huang Ling and saw a baby. His body was covered with tubes and wires. He neither cried nor fussed. I am dreaming sweetly. The child is about seven or eight months old, weighs about twenty kilograms, and is very healthy. This information is displayed on the screen next to it, which is clear at a glance. It even records when you eat, defecate, sneeze, and cough.
"It's so detailed!" Qu Ping looked at Huang Ling with complicated eyes. No wonder she was so thin, but would this really last long?
At this time, Chen Xiao called Wang Xiang in the office. Wang Xiang was reporting with Huang Ling's information in his hand.
"Huang Ling hasn't been to the company for half a year and has never shown up once."
"This is so abnormal. What on earth could cause a senior executive to leave his job for so long?"
"I don't know. I've also asked. She hasn't lost contact yet. She will reply to me as soon as possible after sending messages. She just said that there is something going on at home." Wang Xiang said, looking down at the recently collected information.
In this brief silence, Chen Xiao's thoughts had already flown far away.
On the one hand, Chen Xiao is worried about whether Huang Ling has a physical problem. If this is the case, then the problem will be too big.
Changtian Technology has technology that allows people to achieve virtual immortality, as well as technology that replaces organs to extend life, and can even reorganize the human body's ability to truly resurrect.
So what kind of disease did Huang Ling suffer from? Even Changtian Technology couldn't cure it? Is it the kind of disease that will kill people immediately as soon as it is treated?
"How could there be such a disease?" Chen Xiao smiled and muttered. Huang Ling's biochip has been backing up and uploading her consciousness. If she really has that kind of disease, the worst case scenario is to restart her consciousness.
Since it is not a disease problem, it may be some disputes, such as disputes within the family, or property rights issues between neighbors.
It's really hard to tell the company about this situation, but it doesn't mean that you won't be restricted from returning to the company all the time. Even if there is mediation between the two parties, there will be a free period, and you just need to go back at a certain time.
It's not a physical problem or a family dispute. It could be that Huang Ling's personal freedom has been restricted.
When he thought of this possibility, Chen Xiao couldn't sit still.
Why didn't I think of this possibility earlier?
Huang Ling is a senior executive of Changtian Technology and holds many important secrets. It is understandable that she would be targeted by agents.
If something unexpected happened, it would be a matter of opinion.
After all, the scale of Changtian Technology is too large. Any technology of Changtian Technology can be applied to any country, which can make the country's technological level leap forward.
Huang Ling is a key staff member of Changtian Technology's Critical Care Laboratory. It would be very troublesome if she was targeted by the intelligence organization and revealed something intentionally or unintentionally.
While Chen Xiao was struggling alone, Wang Xiang sorted out the relevant materials. The expression on his face was a bit wonderful at this time.
"Boss, according to the latest news, she has returned to her hometown of Chengdu, with a baby less than one year old at home..."
"Huh? Are you back home? Is the news reliable?"
"Reliable, because you also know our own system..."
Chen Xiao knocked on the table. He was so concerned that he was confused, but he forgot about it. Basically, the formal employees of Changtian Technology will have relevant departments to continuously investigate and update information. This is not to pry into everyone's privacy, but to protect everyone's safety and keep track of everyone's whereabouts. Another purpose is to avoid spontaneous espionage behavior to avoid leaking secrets.
Speaking of which, this department is still managed by Shen Wei, but Chen Xiao has forgotten this.
"A baby less than one year old?" Chen Xiao muttered. Did he get the big deal from his subordinate? I never heard that Huang Ling was married or had a boyfriend. Why did she suddenly "get killed"? And she is still a baby less than one year old. When did Huang Ling get pregnant? How does she maintain such a good figure? Didn't see it at all.
Chen Xiao didn't think so much, as long as he knew Huang Ling was fine.
"In my name, give Huang Ling one million, so that she can take care of her children at home and let her know when she wants to go to work. If you continue to look at me like this, you will lose your salary this year."
"Okay! Boss! Illegitimate children are not a strange thing in this era. Chengdu even stipulates that illegitimate children can register as registered permanent residents, which is legal. Today, with a low birthrate, having children is a good thing..."
"Don't talk so much. If having children is a good thing, why don't you have one?"
"Isn't this because I don't dare to give priority to the boss?"
"Get out!"
…
In the basement of her old house in Rongcheng, Qu Ping glanced at her child and then at the instruments around her. She couldn't help but feel a little headache: "I really underestimated you. You erased the serial number of this set of scrapped equipment and then converted it into a private device." use."
"This is not an important piece of equipment in itself. I just recycle the waste."
"You really dare to say that if you sell an instrument that can connect to the brain and feedback the specific images in the mind, someone will pay a price of 1 billion! You must have disassembled a little bit from the east and a little from the west to assemble it, otherwise The number of scraps does not match up." Qu Ping said coldly.
Huang Ling's voice was low and firm: "I've done it all, why don't I dare to say it. Even if I steal, rob or lie, I will get it. I'm not afraid because I regret it. I never regret doing it. It would be too cruel for this child to be afraid of being found out that he had taken these things back. I want to be sure of what he saw at all times!"
At this time, the picture projected on the big screen is very warm. This is a child's perspective. A young couple is playing with the child. They are holding rattles in their hands and making sounds continuously. The colorful rattles are very beautiful. The child's chubby hands kept trying to grab it.
The mother smiled sweetly and said softly: "Baby, come on, catch me, you can't catch me!"
The father took the opportunity to pinch the child's open and closed fleshy palms from time to time, and was very happy. I squeezed my palms and then my soles without getting tired of it at all. ,
The child was amused and giggled. He might not understand the words, but he understood the tone and the smile, and he became happy.
After a while, my mother said, "Huh? My poop stinks! Dad is going to get diapers and wet wipes."
"OK."
Then the child felt his butt suddenly become cool.
"What a beautiful poop! It's strip-shaped, neither hard nor rotten, and the gastrointestinal condition is quite good. The little butt is not red either, and it seems that it is not covered by poop or urine. It is best to change the child's butt quickly and promptly." The young father A smile on his face.
"Really, I have to praise you for every stinky thing you do." Mother rolled her eyes, lowered her head and continued to tidy up.
"What's the point? You're at an age where you should be praised for pooping! My son is healthy and I'm happy!"
The child initially felt a little uncomfortable with the stickiness on his butt, but it soon became dry and comfortable and he said "hmm". At this time, he turned over and wanted to crawl over, but the seven-month-old child was not yet fully capable of crawling. He could only "hum" and pull the sheets with his limbs like water, which again amused the young couple. Gotta laugh.
After playing for a while, the child began to take off the mother's clothes, so the young lady pulled open one side of the nursing garment and let the child suck as much as she wanted.
At this moment, one of the tubes began to secrete milky white juice, which flowed into the child's mouth in the incubator, and the child greedily sucked it up. The child on the screen drank enough and burped, causing another burst of laughter.
Then the mother pulled down the curtains and began to hold him and rock him gently to put the child to sleep.
"Is this really okay for you? Will the child's life schedule be too fixed? Will this form a stereotyped behavior for the child?" Qu Ping was a little worried. If the system sets the program, then the child will follow this procedure. Set process growth. Just imagine, a child is hungry on time, plays on time, or even happy and depressed on time, what a terrifying thing it is!
"It doesn't matter, the child's schedule is within a reasonable range. Feeding and rest are determined by detecting body information, and the deviation is very small. In other words, the system detects that the child is hungry before starting to feed. And I will Talk to him often and let him slowly get used to my voice and my presence. It has been half a year, and this child has already responded to me accordingly. If this continues, I can slowly integrate into his world."
Qu Ping's eyes were full of sympathy: "You are really thoughtful, you have considered everything."
"I promised my brother and sister-in-law that I would take good care of this child!" Huang Ling's eyes began to shine.
Qu Ping sighed, feeling heavy.
The seven or eight-month-old baby in the incubator belongs to Huang Ling's brother. One day, Huang Ling was doing an important experiment, and his father died of natural causes. Due to the sudden incident, Changtian Technology was unable to save him in time. But Huang Ling couldn't leave, so she had to let Huang Ling's brother take her place to see her father off for the last time.
Unexpectedly, there was a serious car accident on the way. My brother and sister-in-law were both gone, but the child miraculously survived.
When Huang Ling rushed to the hospital, she only had a crying child in her hands, and only three cold corpses were left.
Huang Ling felt very guilty. Her brother and his family had always taken care of her father. In the end, she failed to even look at her father and implicated her brother and his family. She wished she was the one who died that day, so that her nephew would at least still have his parents alive.
But people cannot be resurrected. After Huang Ling calmed down, she began to think about the future of her child. Finally, she made a surprising decision. In order for her child to have a happy childhood, she transplanted a biochip into a one-month-old baby! Then use that set of equipment to confirm that the world the child can see is happy, so that the child can feel the love of his parents in the virtual world.
The problem is that Changtian Technology explicitly prohibits minors from transplanting biochips.
If transplantation is necessary, very stringent conditions must be met. For example, some talented young people have ideas and want to produce results as quickly as possible, and some are disabled people who need work skills to support their families.
Only extreme situations like this are acceptable, and it requires endorsement and supervision from relevant departments, and continuous follow-up visits in the future to check on the condition of the transplant recipients.
But no matter what the situation is, it definitely does not include transplanting a biochip to a baby who is just one month old! If a child who is too young is transplanted with a biochip, his growth will become extremely uncontrollable.
When a child grows up, is it considered a biochip growing up or a normal child growing up?
It is precisely because of such concerns that Changtian Technology explicitly prohibits biochip transplantation in children who are too young. Huang Lin not only transplanted the child, but also created a virtual world for her child.
Qu Ping couldn't bear to see this scene and tried to persuade her: "You have been deceiving this child with lies. When he grows up and discovers the truth, how will he react?"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Stop brainwashing him, get rid of all these fake things, stay with him normally, and let him treat you as his mother. When he is old enough, confess to him."
"That's still cheating, not to mention that children who have not been accompanied by their parents since childhood will be mentally ill and bullied. This is absolutely not allowed."
"Then you find him a father, and you and your man become his parents and start a family! Let him make it clear to him when he grows up."
"This is even worse! Keep cheating."
"It's better than doing this. The child will eventually return to the real world. You can't lock him in an incubator in the basement for more than ten years or a lifetime! You know!" Qu Ping also started to get angry. What's wrong with this person? So naughty? Can’t you understand such a simple truth?
Huang Ling suddenly knelt down and cried: "It's all my fault! I don't know what to do! It's best that I go see my father by myself that day, in case something happens to my brother and sister-in-law! I can't let this child get hurt anymore, Even if it’s a lie, he must continue to lie. One day he discovers the truth and I won’t be able to live anymore!”
Qu Ping felt distressed and speechless. How could a highly intelligent person be as unreasonable as a shrew? Where was his usual logic? Where are the scientific spirit and humanistic care?
"Don't be like this, you are just a fan of the authorities. Think about it again. It's my fault for being nagging. It's all for the sake of this child. People can't live in lies, and you can't always live in guilt."
Huang Ling burst into tears and couldn't say a word. She knew there was something wrong with what she was doing, but if she didn't do it, she wouldn't be able to pass the test in her heart, and after she did it, she would feel a shackles on her soul.
With so many shackles on a person, and a child having to be carefully cared for in all aspects, how could Huang Ling not feel haggard? In Taoist terms, there is an inner demon.
