Shanghai Jiao Tong University's future entrustment app: I will take my motherland flying.

Chapter 179 We can accept separation, but we overlook the power of longing.

In 2019, in the present timeline, Song Zhining sat on the sofa in her room, hugging a cushion in her arms, as if only in this way could her heart find some peace.

She was still thinking about everything she had seen while she was there.

After Mengmeng's death, Song Zhining originally thought that Yuan Tinglan would not be able to bear it and might follow her husband and daughter in death.

But she didn't.

It seems that after her husband and daughter died, Yuan Tinglan became like an emotionless robot.

She began to study and do research with great effort.

She not only conducts medical research, but also her husband Liang Chen's research on the "dream-making device".

In fact, Yuan Tinglan was a highly intelligent genius. In the end, Yuan Tinglan not only made significant research and development in medicine, but also improved her husband's dream-making device, even raising the technology to a new level. Both the drugs she researched in medicine and the dream-making device helped many, many people.

However, Yuan Tinglan's side was always empty, just like her heart.

The last memory is of 70-year-old Yuan Tinglan, returning home from the cake shop with her daughter's favorite cake. She lies on a recliner, assigning her daughter a task on her phone, and then eats the cake alone, her gaze fixed on the window. She doesn't know when, but it has started raining, a torrential downpour, very much like the day Mengmeng died...

It took Song Zhining a while to finally calm down.

Each time she enters the immersive environment, she seems to be able to empathize with the client's emotions and state of mind, but almost every case she handles is to avert regrets or tragedies.

Song Zhi Ning could empathize with the characters every time. She even felt as if she had experienced a lifetime as the client every time she entered the immersive experience. She had experienced all the joys and sorrows, hardships and betrayals of life.

"This commission definitely needs to be completed..." Song Zhi Ning checked the time and then looked at the commission details. There was still time, and she had an idea in mind.

"By the way, I wonder what the deposit reward will be this time?" Song Zhi Ning was always looking forward to the reward.

【"Mengmeng" AI Dream Maker 2.0: This is the 2.0 version of the dream maker developed by 50-year-old Yuan Tinglan. It is 2 centimeters in size, connects to a person's brainwaves, and can mold the image of the deceased...】

After watching the AI ​​Dream Maker 2.0 version, Song Zhining found it quite amazing.

In the simplest terms, this dream-making device can bring the person you're thinking about to appear in reality.

Of course, it's not a real person, just AI technology, just images, but these images are very realistic.

But this person possesses the emotions, thoughts, and warmth of the deceased.

Of course, there are conditions for using it.

Firstly, the person created must be a deceased person; there's no way to create a living person.

Secondly, there is a distance limitation. The AI ​​human created by this square-sized dream-making device can only appear within a 50-meter radius of the device.

Thirdly, and most importantly, the user must miss the AI ​​sufficiently. Only when the user's longing reaches a certain threshold can the AI ​​be created.

As for the lifespan of the dream-making device, it is determined based on a person's thought threshold.

Once the threshold drops and the standard is not met, the created AI human will disappear, and the dream-making machine will break down.

Of course, if the threshold doesn't decrease, the AI ​​human being created will remain, and the dream-making device can be used indefinitely as long as it's charged by solar energy, without breaking down.

After reading the introduction to the dream-making device, Song Zhining seemed to be deep in thought.

She recalled the couple she met at the cake shop when she was actually there. She noticed something strange about the wife, and after considering their conversation and thinking it over, she realized that the wife was actually an AI. This was the Dream Maker 2.0 version developed by Yuan Tinglan, based on version 1.0.

As you can see, version 1.0 of the Dream Maker is essentially the same, it's just not perfect yet.

Song Zhining firmly believes that Liang Chen initially developed this dream-making device out of a kind heart.

Because this dream-creating device can only recreate AI humans who have already passed away.

Song Zhining knew that not everyone in this world was lucky.

Many people even have to endure the pain of losing their beloved and closest relatives, and some parents even have to bury their children.

The passing of a beloved, close relative is an immense pain for those who are still alive.

For them, the death of their beloved and closest relatives may mean the loss of all meaning in life.

We always say: people should look forward.

People always say: the deceased are gone, and the living should live well.

However, many things are easier said than done, especially since you can't understand the pain unless you've experienced it yourself.

The departure of a beloved, dearest person is like a world that was once sunny suddenly being hit by rain. It's not a downpour, but a light drizzle. The drizzle isn't heavy, but it sweeps across the entire world, and once it starts, it never stops.

From then on, this person's world was always a damp rainy season, with no more warm sunny days.

We can accept separation, but we overlook the power of longing.

People always say that when loved ones or close relatives are gone, the living must be brave, move on, and continue to live a good life.

But Song Zhining thought, why must people come out? Some people may not want to come out at all, nor do they want to come out, and they are even less able to come out.

Song Zhining thought that the appearance of this dream-making device was a kind of reliance, a kind of unwillingness to leave.

But what's wrong with not wanting to leave?

What's wrong with immersing yourself in it? Even if it's meaningless, so what? Life doesn't need so many meaningful things, as long as you're willing, right?

Losing a loved one or close relative doesn't necessarily mean you have to be strong to live. So what if you're not strong or you're very fragile?
Choosing not to move on and instead entrusting one's longing and emotions to an AI persona that belongs specifically to the deceased is also a valid option.

Just like that cake shop and that couple, they're fine as they are, aren't they?

Song Zhining thought that perhaps this was the significance of Liang Chen developing this dream-making device.

The more I think about Liang Chen's original intention in developing this dream-making device, and how Yuan Tinglan inherited Liang Chen's ambition and upgraded the dream-making device to make it even better, the more I realize how much more I appreciate it.

Song Zhining felt even more sorry for their plight.

"Change is necessary; we must change the fate of Liang Chen and Yuan Tinglan's family of three." Good people deserve good rewards.

Song Zhining saw that the deposit included detailed blueprints for the AI ​​Dream Maker.

Considering Liang Chen and Yuan Tinglan's current situation, she already had a plan in mind.
