803. The Mystery of the Exoskeletons
Although the other researchers had all left, Ryan’s work had to continue.After spending a gloomy morning alone, he quickly shook off his low spirits and returned to his usual research routine.He had enough Technology Points to unlock another research slot. But with no other researchers at the institute, any new slot would sit idle unless he worked on it himself.Rather than waste his resources, Ryan decided to save his Technology Points for now. He would choose new projects once everyone returned.With that settled, he began loading the research tank with the materials for his next project.Nanotechnology.As its name suggested, this technology would unlock several new research paths. But that wasn’t the main reason Ryan had chosen it.What he really wanted was to upgrade the exoskeleton.Unfortunately, the next generation of exoskeleton technology seemed to have advanced several levels at once. Its prerequisites had changed dramatically, and nanotechnology was now required to unloc
802. An Empty Research Institute
The grand farewell saga was far from over.Ever since Ryan had somehow managed to earn everyone's displeasure through his recent actions, people he knew had begun approaching him one after another to announce their departures.Of course, there were those who had to return to their universities after the summer vacation. Their departures were inevitable.But they weren't the only ones leaving.The very next day, Mary arrived with a cheerful smile and announced that she had been invited to visit the city's Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for further study. She would be leaving the following week.Ryan could only congratulate her.He wholeheartedly supported Mary's pursuit of her dream, and he knew this opportunity meant a great deal to her.The day after that, Brady, who had remained unusually quiet for some time, suddenly appeared in Ryan's laboratory with a letter in his hand.Ryan opened it and discovered that Brady had been invited to participate in an academic debate at the A
801. Coming Farewells
Ryan's conversation with Mr. Wallace ended shortly afterward, leaving him alone in his laboratory once again.He sat on a stool, lost in thought, struggling to decide what to work on next.After a long while, he remembered that he still had an available research slot. He summoned the system and browsed through the list of unlocked technologies, examining them one by one.Eventually, his gaze settled on the next item in the computer technology category.Personal Terminal."What's this?"Ryan asked the system.[The Personal Terminal is a portable version of the previously developed Central Control Terminal. It offers the same core functions, with the additional capability of remote control.]This time, neither the system nor Emma answered simultaneously. Only the system responded to Ryan's question.Apparently, after synchronizing with Emma, the system had become capable of distinguishing
800. The Birth of Emma and Mr. Wallace's Departure
"What's making that sound? Is it an AI?"Jonas was the first to identify the source of the voice. He turned sharply toward the computer screen, his eyes widening with curiosity."That's right! It's the AI I invented!"Lindsey pointed proudly at the screen, and everyone followed her gesture.A separate window displayed a voice waveform that fluctuated whenever the AI spoke."This is amazing! Finally, someone from outside the research institute can recognize just how advanced our technology is!"Jonas had always been concerned about how outsiders perceived the institute. No wonder he was so excited to hear an AI speaking for the first time."You're underestimating it. An AI is much more than just a fancy voice!"Lindsey stood with her hands on her hips, proudly showing off her creation."When you're conducting research, you can ask the AI for assistance whenever you need it. It can even control the institute's central cont
799. The Birth of a Superintelligent AI
The conflict within Lindsey’s family had finally been resolved. As it turned out, most of their disagreements had stemmed from a simple lack of communication.Although Ryan felt he hadn't done much, Lindsey’s parents were still deeply grateful to him.They held his hand for so long that he began to feel a little embarrassed.“Dr. Ryan, thank you so much for giving Lindsey the opportunity to pursue what she loves.”Lindsey’s mother clasped Ryan’s hand and shook it repeatedly.“No, no, Auntie. This is all thanks to Lindsey’s own abilities. If she hadn’t been interested in programming, I wouldn’t have been able to find a suitable way for her to demonstrate her talents.”Ryan meant every word. Lindsey’s thirst for knowledge and her abilities as a five-star researcher had genuinely exceeded his expectations.“Dr. Ryan, you're too modest.”Lindsey’s mother smiled warmly at him.“Dr. Ryan, please remember to remind Lindsey to do her summer homework.”Lindsey’s father had finally relaxed, his
798. A Troubling Knot
Ryan had expected his request to make the atmosphere at Lindsey's home somewhat awkward, but he hadn't anticipated just how effectively it would kill the conversation.Lindsey's father maintained a stiff, polite smile, waiting for Ryan to explain himself further.Ryan glanced at Lindsey's mother. She seemed relatively calm, at least compared with her husband.Taking a deep breath, Ryan continued."Is the computer still there? As long as the hard drive is intact, we should be fine."He spoke cautiously, trying not to make the situation any more uncomfortable than it already was."Yes. I'll go and get it for you."Lindsey's father stood and walked toward her room. With his back turned, Ryan couldn't see his expression.Ryan suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to escape the house before the situation became any more complicated.While Lindsey's father was away, her mother seized the opportunity to ask a question."Dr. Ryan, how has Lindsey been doing at your research institute?""She's do
