Chapter 1749 - Could Not Say Thank You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Jin saw Gu Nianzhi’s confused but polite smile and could not help but laugh, “You couldn’t understand, do you? It’s okay, you don’t have to understand these technical problems.”

“All you need to know is that not only is your gene flawless, it’s also perfect. It’s even...” His voice suddenly paused, and he quickly said, “It’s even better than I expected.”

She asked sharply, “... Why was it better than you expected? Was there anything that you couldn’t grasp from your experiments?”

Hearing the word “experiment”, Lu Jin was a little ashamed. He lowered his head silently and whispered, “The path of science is endless. I’m just an ordinary pathfinder on this path. There were many things that I couldn’t grasp.”

Gu Nianzhi rarely saw Lu Jin so humble. She asked curiously, “Huh? Are you serious?! I’d like to hear the details.”

Lu Jin lowered his head and nodded. He raised his head and explained to her in detail, “It’s very simple. Think about artificial intelligence.”

“Artificial intelligence starts from humans entering machine language and giving commands to computers.”

“In theory, no matter how powerful an artificial intelligence was, it was only because the person who created the programming instructions was powerful.”

“For example, the Beta Dog, which is very powerful now, could learn to play Go by itself and defeat all human players.”

“But is this the victory of artificial intelligence? No, this was just the computing ability of computers that were better than that of ordinary humans. There’s still a long way to go before it becomes a real artificial intelligence.”

Lu Jin pointed at his head, “Humans only know 5% to 10% of their brains, and 95% or 90% of the parts are still unexplored.”

She was puzzled, “How could there be a 5% to 10% range? I thought that the results of scientific development were ultimately shared. If someone recognized 10%, then shouldn’t it be said that human’s understanding of the brain is 10%?”

Lu Jin smiled and said seriously, “It’s not the same. The range I’m talking about depends on how conceited a scientist is.”

“A scientist who is very conceited and arrogant would think that his understanding of the human brain has reached 10%.”

“A more modest scientist would think that their understanding of the brain is only 5%.”

Lu Jin pointed at his nose, “I’m one of the more modest scientists. I think that our understanding of the human brain is only 5%.”

Gu Nianzhi was amused and made a face, “Dad, you’re a more modest scientist?”

Looking at Lu Jin’s expression, Gu Nianzhi thought he didn’t know how to spell “humble”...

Lu Jin didn’t need to be humble, though.

His research results were enough to make him stand out among all the scientists in the world.

“Of course, I’m very humble and serious in front of scientific research,” Lu Jin said seriously. “The function of the human brain is amazing, and I’m not focused on this area of research, so it’s only 5%.”

“Speaking of artificial intelligence, you see, humans don’t even have a complete understanding of their brain function, so how could he develop artificial intelligence?”

“There’s a saying, You don’t know what you don’t know, it means that you don’t know how many things you don’t know.”

“And artificial intelligence was only used in simple chess, what a wonderful irony.”

“That was only based on the powerful computing capabilities of the computer. The so-called master of Go could move one step forward and look at ten steps.”

“Beta Dog as a computer, with its super powerful CPU, could move forward and look at fifty steps.”

“What did this mean? This could only mean that in terms of computing capabilities, the computer is better than humans, but is this artificial intelligence? Hehe, this only reflected the shallow and ignorant understanding of the big human brain of those programmers.”

Lu Jin scoffed and waved his hand, “A computer defeating a human in Go is not called artificial intelligence.”

“When a computer is defeated by a human without a program, it would be so angry that it would electrocute its opponent to death. That will be called artificial intelligence.”

Gu Nianzhi finally burst into laughter, “Dad, you mean that when a computer has human emotions and could act on its own, it would be called Real Artificial Intelligence?”

“More or less, hahaha... Although that day is too far away, gene editors are doing similar things, but it’s not the computer that’s improving, it’s the person themself.”

Lu Jin looked at Gu Nianzhi with lament and reached out to touch her face, “You are the most perfect genetic experiment I had ever done. I knew I was wrong but I don’t regret this mistake. Without this mistake, you wouldn’t have been born and I would never have a daughter as good as you.”

Gu Nianzhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She pushed Lu Jin’s hand away, “Dad, I realized I couldn’t say thank you.”

“... Haha, you didn’t have to say it. I should be the one saying thank you.” Lu Jin grabbed Gu Nianzhi’s shoulder and said sincerely, “Nianzhi, you made my life complete. I don’t have any regrets.”

Gu Nianzhi’s heart skipped a beat, but before she could process her emotions, Lu Jin had already changed his tone, “I’m sorry.” He said cheerfully, “Alright, let’s wait for the results from the military lab! It’s not difficult, they should be able to get the same results as mine soon.”

“Really? What if it was different?”

“If it was different, it’s either they’re incompetent or they’re faking it. There must be a reason.”

Lu Jin said casually and rubbed his stomach, “I’m hungry. Shall we go and eat?”

Gu Nianzhi nodded excitedly and went to her apartment with Lu Jin to try Huo Shaoheng’s cooking.

...

The results of the military’s experiment came out the next day.

He Zhichu sat in the small meeting room, the military scientist reporting the test results, and did not speak for a long time.

His eyes were lowered, and his thick black eyelashes were like two rows of small fans, covering his shimmering peach blossom eyes and concealing all his thoughts.

A hand knocked on the conference table.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy, and the scientist standing in front of He Zhichu felt that he could hardly breathe.

He Zhichu finally opened his mouth and said, “... So, Wen Shouyi is Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter?”

“The accuracy was greater than 99.9999 percent.” The scientist nodded affirmatively, “In the paternity test, this probability is equal to 100 percent.”

This result was too surprising.

He Zhichu had originally been leaning towards Liang Meili, that semi-illiterate, making up nonsense under the influence of jealousy and distortion.

How could Wen Shouyi be Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter?

But now, the DNA test results had completely smacked his face.

Liang Meili did not spout nonsense. They were the arrogant and stupid ones, and they were not as incisive and direct compared to a person who was semi-illiterate.

The military’s entire test was conducted under He Zhichu’s supervision. There was no possibility of faking it.

He nodded and stood up, “Prepare a report of the results for me. All relevant equipment and information for the test would be temporarily sealed. Without my orders, it shall not be given to anyone.”

“Yes, Chief,” The military scientist was also a soldier. He quickly saluted He Zhichu.

Thirty minutes later, He Zhichu sent the report written by the military scientist in triplicate. He had his personal secretary send one to He Chengjian, one for archiving, and one to the court himself.

The court was waiting for the DNA test report to decide when the court would be held again.

...

Wen Shouyi had been in a daze for the past two days. She didn’t know how she had gotten over it.

What had happened in court the past two days had been amazing. She had never thought that she was Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter!

Although she was shocked and confused, she was secretly delighted.

If the DNA test could prove this, then she would be able to stand on the same starting line as Gu Nianzhi.

She was also from an extraordinary family.

Although she did not know why Qin Yaoguang had placed her in an orphanage for Wen Dayou to adopt, Qin Yaoguang had been good to her all these years. Even if she was not as good as Liang Meili, she was much better than everyone else.

Especially when it came to comparing with Gu Nianzhi, she could be said to be Qin Yaoguang’s favorite.

After leaving the court that day, Wen Shouyi couldn’t wait to go to a private institution that specialized in DNA testing to test her and Qin Yaoguang’s DNA in private.

It turned out to be true!

She was Qin Yaoguang’s biological daughter, and she was also a daughter of the Qin family...

Wen Shouyi’s lips curled up, and her mood gradually improved.

Just as she was looking forward to returning to the Qin family, even changing her surname to Qin and becoming the eldest daughter of the Qin family, the court’s schedule for the next court session was sent to her.

“Director Wen, this is the court session that Lawyer Qin sent over. The court session will be held next Monday, please attend it,” Her secretary sent over a letter.

Wen Shouyi nodded and said with a big smile, “I would go. Oh, right, arrange a time for me this week. I’m going to see Dean Qin.. Oh, no, I’m going to see my Mommy.”
