Chapter 1127: Emotional Issues

Is it an Intelligent Body similar to mine?

Yang Qing's mood suddenly became a bit complicated.

People are controlled by various emotions and hormones.

If Yunxiao were to merge into a hybrid based on a biological brain, what would Yunxiao become?

Could it be able to rid itself of the seven emotions and six desires?

Would a person who has lost the seven emotions and six desires still be called a person?

Humans possess extremely complex emotional elements.

This element, mechanical intelligence might be able to simulate part of it, but cannot truly experience the power of this emotional element.

For the country and the people, sacrificing oneself and forgetting death— for a machine, this should be hard to understand, right?

Being imprisoned by emotion, willingly being a sycophant— it should also be unable to understand that, right?

But within these emotions, there lies humanity's most genuine essence.

Even, a large part of human existence depends on emotion.

How many people, having lost emotional reliance, have become depressed, and how many have chosen a path of no return?

This is still a benign emotion; there are also malignant emotions.

Anger, obsession, cruelty……

Can mechanical intelligence effectively handle these emotions?

Everything is unknown.

Yang Qing let out a sigh.

Yunxiao chattered away beside his ear, expressing its wishes.

He glanced at the somewhat cute Yunxiao, feeling he was being unnecessarily worried.

Descendants have their own blessings; future problems will be solved by future people.

What matters most to him is enjoying the present.

The breeze tousled his short hair, wanting to smooth his worries.

The birds chirped, telling him of the world's beauty.

In the distance, the train whistle sounded, lingering and loud, calling out the world's vastness.

Yang Qing rose to his feet, strolling in the light of Chaoyang, each step as if measuring time.

Yang Nuomi followed Yang Qing from afar.

Watching his somewhat unsteady steps.

That stubborn, cold old man really has grown old.

For no reason, his nose felt sour.

Human emotions are very complex; love and hatred sometimes entangle so much they cannot be clarified.

Yunxiao continued to chatter on.

Yang Nuomi listened intermittently.

Society is developing so fast; Yunxiao's existence she knows, but now is the first time she has been so close to it.

If used for a livestream, it could surely earn a lot of money.

But she only thought about it; at home, no one dares to let Yunxiao do these boring things.

Yang Qing walked for a while, then stopped.

Yang Nuomi waited until Yang Qing waved, then she came over.

As for this granddaughter who came along, Yang Qing knows her.

Whether it's him or Chen Hong and the others, when they go out, they are always followed by one or more people.

"Nuomi, are you resting today?"

Yang Nuomi pushed Yang Qing's wheelchair.

"Yes, Grandpa, today I'm accompanying you."

Yang Qing nodded, then spoke of Yang Panpan.

"Your sister Panpan is getting married soon."

Yang Nuomi felt a bit nervous.

"The brother-in-law is quite good, a graduate of Shanhedaxue; I've met him a few times."

"He's currently modifying a tricycle."

"Sister Panpan's and my tricycles are both modified by him."

Yang Qing gave an ambiguous ah, then instead turned his aim toward her.

"Ah, then what about you?"

"You're not young either; while you're young, settle the marriage issue early."

"This matter, better early than late."

Yang Nuomi secretly thought, indeed, she started pushing for marriage.

However, this can't be blamed on others, because early marriage is better than late marriage, as Yang Qing said.

She felt this old man was doing this for face.

Although she complained in her heart, she still had to go through the motions on the surface.

"Grandpa, I'm not in a hurry now."

"My old aunt……"

Speaking of Yang Ou, Yang Qing understood.

They don't want to.

Yang Qing isn't one to make things difficult for others.

"Ah, then do as you like."

Yang Qing acted like he couldn't be bothered to care, making Yang Nuomi feel a little hurt.

You're just not going to care about it? You ask casually—don't you know I've already prepared plenty of reasons and arguments?

How can you not ask?

Yunxiao, listening nearby, felt a bit curious and couldn't help but interject.

"Yang Nuomi, don't you have a boyfriend?"

In an instant, the scene fell silent.

Even the seabirds sensed something odd and fell silent.

Yang Nuomi instantly felt embarrassed, then didn't know what to do.

Yang Qing turned his head and glanced at her.

Seeing her guilty look, Yang Qing thought of a possibility.

Not following the Yang family's rules, the person they're looking for is probably not an ordinary person.

Yang Qing didn't say much, just waited quietly.

Seeing Yang Qing silent, Yang Nuomi felt even more pressure, breaking out in a cold sweat on her forehead.

Ten minutes later.

She still couldn't bear the pressure and was the first to speak.

"Grandfather, that's not a partner, just a boyfriend."

She glanced guiltily at Yang Qing and carefully explained.

"Grandfather, you should understand, right?"

She asked tentatively.

Yang Qing thought for a moment and understood what she meant.

Boyfriend—we're just playing around; partner means someone you marry.

Yang Qing rose from his wheelchair once again.

Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked slowly forward.

Yang Nuomi hurried to keep up.

The wheelchair followed behind.

Yang Qing didn't quite know what to say.

Because this rule was set by himself.

The outward resistance of Yang Nuomi and them is also understandable.

He can't manage every aspect.

Moreover, he can't control the children's romantic affairs.

Many things can't be blocked.

All he can do is turn a blind eye.

But there are some things he still needs to say.

Especially Yang Nuomi and Yang Nuolan.

Because their mother is someone who has risen from the grassroots.

From their lifestyle and worldview, it's clear they don't have much feeling for the lower classes.

Even though Yang Nuomi once went to Freedom Village to experience life.

Yang Qing walked ahead, his shadow stretched long behind him.

In the distance stood a lighthouse perched on a reef.

The seawater had receded, and scattered gatherers dotted the beach.

Accompanied by the faint sound of waves, Yang Qing's voice came gently.

"Nuomi, you know? Nowadays many people actually don't like their current life, even though material wealth is abundant."

"They long for the first few decades."

"That is an era that cannot be erased."

"Do you know why?"

"Why do so many people give up their good present lives to nostalgically remember an era of not having enough to eat!"

Yang Qing's words struck Yang Nuomi's heart like waves.

She roughly understood Yang Qing's meaning.

Because the Yang family's precept is something everyone must learn.

And this question is hard for her to answer, because the answer conflicts greatly with her current life.

Yang Qing didn't rush her, but continued walking slowly toward the lighthouse.

As they walked, Yang Qing began to tell the story of the lighthouse.

"In the past, our country's coast had many such lighthouses."

"They were meant to show direction for those sailing far."

"These lighthouses were often built on empty reefs, on reef‑sea‑island spots."

"Back then, there was no electricity; everything relied on human control."

"This required a person to live long‑term on such a reef‑sea‑island spot."

Some lighthouses are built in uninhabited places deep in the ocean.

Often, such places see only a few ships a year.
