Chapter 396 Rejecting Honor 【Third Update】
With Angela's help, Eve's voice output is no problem. An Feng specially found a professional recording studio in Los Angeles and provided it to Angela to work. The telephone service is delayed for the time being. Recently, Anfeng does not have too many requests for Express service, so it is easy to coordinate.
Followed by a list of commonly used words and sentences, including different environments and different emotions, the content is quite a lot, and Angela needs to read it emotionally, which is not difficult for professionals. Once the data is recorded, let the intelligence assemble itself to form a unique synthetic sound.
At the same time, An Feng started to activate Eve, intelligence has no gender, but as a computer soul engineer, An Feng is actually many times stronger than his technical team, but he is lazy and afraid of trouble... After some debugging, his personality has tended to be feminine, and then Come down and wake it up officially.
Eve had no sound output at first, and An Feng communicated with it in a very primitive way—keyboard. Use the keyboard to talk to it, and there are a large number of dictionaries and example sentences in its storage area, allowing it to talk to An Feng in a more normal way. Although there will be some mistakes, they will continue to be corrected.
Although it is chatting with a robot, it is actually smarter than a clumsy robot. If you ask the same question twice, it will be confused. It may remind you that it has been discussed before, and it may give a concise explanation. There are other manifestations...that's intelligence.
An Feng didn't give it access to the network before it fully grown.
As for fantasies such as artificial intelligence's treachery, it is not possible. Its existence is based on basic rules-An Feng modified it into the three laws of robots, which cannot be violated, just like human beings will not stab themselves in the heart for no reason Makes sense, it doesn't self-destruct.
It will take some time for Eve to grow up. It is digesting new knowledge and forming a view of cognition.
An Feng left it alone, and he also needs to care about his children and wife, especially Alice's performance is very good recently, in December, she could make clear "papa" and "mama" Vocabulary, you can speak clearly in ten months.
Then they did something interesting: An Feng took Alice's favorite plush toy and teased her in front of her, while Joanna held her shoulders and helped her stand on the grass. To reach for it, mom supported her and she was able to walk on both feet.
But the bad dad kept backing away, just a little bit... She walked faster when she was in a hurry, Joanna let go of her hand quietly, she lost her balance, but stumbled forward four or five steps, and caught the plush in An Feng's hand Toys, An Feng hugged her and lifted her up: "Hey, you can walk now!"
After a child walks with a sense of balance, the rest is much easier.
They tried a few more times, and Alice was able to keep her balance for a few steps before falling over. An Feng made a face at her and successfully diverted his attention. He didn't feel the pain of falling down, and he didn't cry. He went back and forth, and the problem of walking seemed to be no trouble.
"You're so smart, Alice!" An Feng picked her up and kissed her forehead.
"Papa!" Alice laughed, grabbing his nose with her little hand.
"Hahaha, you little cleverness!" An Fengju walked around several times, and Joanna said from the side, "Be careful, she's fainted!"
"It's okay." An Feng stopped, hugged her with one hand, and pointed at Joanna: "Who is this?"
"Mama!" Alice shook both hands.
"Great!" Joanna came over and kissed her, then kissed An Feng, "And Dad's."
An Feng said happily: "Our child is so smart, he will definitely spend money like me in the future."
"What kind of logic is this?" Joanna didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Knowing how to spend money is also a kind of wisdom." An Feng always has a lot of reasons, "Well, it's better to be more like Mama, right?"
Alice would smile, Xiaoshou and Joanna made a gesture, repeating the numb sound in their mouths.
Just making fun of the kids, Brandon drove a battery car over, followed by two tigers... Xiaobai and Xiaohei chased the battery car, Xiaohei was small and wanted to jump into the back seat, but Brandon ignored it, and Gu Zi was driving the car, combining seriousness and cuteness.
The car drove towards them and stopped beside them. After Brandon got out of the car, he straightened up and said in his serious Oxford accent: "Mr. An."
"Come and let mom hug you." Joanna opened her arms, and the little girl happily entered her mother's arms, "It's so cute, with a chubby little face!"
An Feng stepped forward: "What's the matter?"
Brandon said: "Mr. Symonds, the assistant to the British Prime Minister, called just now and asked you to pay attention to the email. There is a list of Queen's honors for the New Year on it."
"Is there anything else?" An Feng asked.
"He didn't say more details." Brandon paused, "Mister and Madam, do you need to go back?"
"It's troublesome." An Feng said, and got into the back seat of the battery car with Joanna. Brandon drove the battery car slowly, and the two tigers continued to run behind.
Coming to the living room, An Feng took out the tablet under the coffee table, opened his personal mailbox, and there was a marked letter in it, which was sent by Symonds. He clicked on the content of the email, downloaded the attachment and opened it. Joanna sat down beside him and looked at the information together.
"Oh! Look at it!" An Feng saw the information highlighted in red font at the top at first glance, "Congratulations! My dear!"
The information marked in red letters contains the information about the Queen's New Year's conferment. The time is in the middle of January. Joanna is in the front row, and the Queen personally confers it.
She was proposed a title, abbreviated as: Joanna Circe Ann, Baroness Ann of Corpus Hill.
This is brief, formal is long.
"Is this true?" Joanna asked in surprise.
"Symonds won't be joking." An Feng nodded with certainty, "Congratulations, after the new year, you will be conferred a lifelong nobleman."
Brandon heard it, and rarely smiled: "Congratulations, madam, this is an honor bestowed by the royal family!"
"Thank you!" Joanna said happily, kissing the child in her arms, "And you, child!"
An Feng hugged her with a smile: "Share this news?"
"Wait, let me take a closer look." Joanna took the tablet and suppressed her excitement to read the content on it, "My fiefdom is in Kingston upon Thames? It seems to be quite close to downtown London, New York Corpus Hill in Madden? Never heard of it."
"Could it be a corner?" An Feng was a little puzzled.
"No." Joanna shook her head, "This area is very close to the city of London, and it is said that the area around it is an emerging rich area in recent years. My fief is located somewhere, but it doesn't matter, this is not the Middle Ages either. , the fiefdom is just a symbol, and it can no longer become the territory of nobles."
"That's right." An Feng nodded, "If it was the monarchy era, Baroness Mount Corpus, you would now have land and people under your protection."
Joanna smiled: "If this is the case, the heavy responsibility is not easy."
"Look at the back." An Feng said, just now he was happy and ignored a bunch of words behind. "The nomination gets you into the House of Lords, as an MP?"
Joanna also took a closer look. An Feng thought about it, and seemed to understand the meaning. In fact, lifelong nobles in England are generally reserved for politicians who plan to enter the House of Lords—because it has a rule that members of the House of Lords must be nobles, so they want to go in You have to have a vest.
By extension, this is a means of soliciting, because the House of Lords does not have much power.
"Look down." In order to verify some of An Feng's ideas, he pulled down the list, and his name also appeared, "Bruce Von Ann? Who can help me add a nondescript middle name? Or KBE , I’m really willing to accept it, and I’ll be a jazz after I accept it.”
An Feng's identity is still a citizen of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, that is, a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, and he can accept the title of the monarch of the United Kingdom.
But Joanna heard that he was not interested: "You don't want it?"
"Unless the royal family gives me a hereditary earl." An Feng said with a smile, "otherwise I can only give up."
"Honestly," she said, "it's a rare honor."
"I know, but the harm outweighs the good. I still have an American passport. If I accept the medal as a Commonwealth citizen, it will make my dual citizenship known. Anderson gets into unnecessary trouble."
"That's right." Joanna understood.
Although there will be no problem, dual nationality is the default, but An Feng also doesn't like trouble.
As for why he has his name, it is still a high level like KBE, and the reason is also to attract. An Feng is low-key, but his importance cannot be ignored. The royal family's decision must have government considerations. Giving Baroness Joanna, pulling her into the House of Lords, and then awarding An Feng with honors is undoubtedly a kind of flattery.
To put it simply, in today's world, the five rogues are the ones who can manufacture exoskeleton machinery, which has also widened the gap between them and ordinary countries. Exoskeletons are not only used by individual soldiers, but also widely used in machinery. , it is simply a war efficiency accelerator.
"Then what should I do here?" Joanna hesitated.
An Feng smiled and said: "You can accept the title with peace of mind. You are from England, so there is no problem. As for the MP, it doesn't matter whether you go to a nursing home or not, but if you are not prepared for politics, you should avoid it. , it will be difficult to get rid of if you touch it, I suggest you not to mess around."
An Feng has been in the United States for so many years, and has had a lot of contact with politicians, so he has already seen through the connotation.
"Mr. Brandon, what's your opinion?" Joanna turned her head.
Brandon said seriously: "I can only make suggestions from the aspect of life. If you want to become a member of parliament, madam, your words and behavior will definitely attract attention. Although there are no hard and fast rules for attending meetings, there will be times every year. If you focus on family, I would not recommend accepting the invitation to the House of Lords."
Joanna shook her head: "I'm not interested in politics."
"Then let Mr. Brandon write a reply letter for us." An Feng said that in terms of official document writing, the butler who has read many books is not ordinary.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Joanna said.
"I'll do it, sir and ma'am." Brandon nodded.
In fact, the list on this email is only a preliminary draft, because although conferring a seal is a happy event, there is no shortage of alternative people in history, such as Lucian Freud, Roald Dahl, Francis Bacon, etc. Resolutely rejected the honor bestowed by the royal family.
The face-saving British royal family, in order to prevent such embarrassment, the first draft is an inquiry, if you don’t want it, you can reply, and the royal family will remove this name from the final list. But there is no impenetrable wall in the world. In 2003, some good people published the list of those who refused.
But those who refuse are always in the minority, like An Feng, who feels particularly dragged now.
