Chapter 1147: Here again (2)
Boil people's mind.
At this time, anyone would be more willing to express their excitement even by running and jumping, or walking back and forth to show the complexity of the mood, but he can only sit in a wheelchair and stare at her quietly. Unbelief, expectation and doubt, suppress all these complex emotions in my heart.
Until his computer voice sounded again, "I take the liberty to ask, can you speak a British accent?"
Wei Sheng raised his eyebrows and nodded, "It's okay."
In the end, Wei Sheng used Hawking’s friend Gellman’s secretary status to dial the phone to Hawking’s home. Although Hawking said that Gellman, considering his communication difficulties, he would usually come to the door in person for anything.
Hawking told Wei Sheng that he suffered from pneumonia more than a decade ago and was unable to speak after undergoing a tracheotomy. At that time, he needed 24-hour care, which was very expensive. Hawking had to seek a director of the MacArthur Foundation. With the help of his friend Gellman, he received generous assistance from the MacArthur Foundation and promised to cover all his medical expenses.
——
Because Wei Sheng had been working abroad that year, proficiency in English and other common languages ??is undoubtedly her essential skill, and it comes in handy now.
When she explained her'identity' to the phone end in a rather pure English accent, Hawking couldn't help showing surprise in her eyes.
After all, at her age, doing exceptionally well in both the car and the company is already a certain level of one mind and two purposes. Although her English has shown considerable proficiency in conversations, she still has a pure British accent. To Hawking's surprise.
There is even more hope in my heart.
"They transferred the call to Hawking." Wei Sheng turned to Hawking while holding the microphone.
After saying this, I felt a little weird again.
Fortunately, there was Hawking's guidance to let her know how to gain the trust of Hawking's daughter Lucy, and looking at Hawking's expression at this moment, Wei Sheng could probably guess that he was in the midst of repeated doubts and expectations.
This wait is about five minutes.
Until Wei Sheng played the amplified sound, the voice from the speech synthesizer came over the phone, "Hey, Gellman, I just have a bold idea. I think the human brain can exist independently, maybe it can be put into a computer. Living independently, if this hypothesis has a chance to be confirmed, I am afraid that your foundation will have to pay a large amount of research and development expenses. Believe me, you are contributing to human progress."
The other party's humorous and teasing words, and the sound from the synthesizer, obviously shocked Hawking, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to Wei Sheng.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Sheng saw Hawking's fingers trembling, and his eyes flashed sharply at him, as if he was suspicious more deeply, and as if he was fighting against this instinct.
Sometimes people are like this. On the one hand, they have a strong desire to believe, on the other hand, it is difficult to give trust.
There was a non-stop voice from the other end of the phone, which seemed to be recorded, "Considering my communication barriers, I hope we can talk in person. You can let Lucy tell me about other things."
Immediately after that, there was a faint female voice on the other end of the phone, laughing and saying, "Oh! Father, that is Gellman's secretary Ellie. I told you that you are getting more and more confused."
The next moment, Hawking next to Wei Sheng pressed the mouse in his hand, and a synthetic sound sounded from his computer, "Hello, this is Stephen William Hawking. This is November 14 years ago, sorry , I can’t tell you the exact time because it’s entered in advance. I mean... Someone told me that I can talk to myself more than ten years later, or is it Hawking in another space more than ten years later? , I have imagined myself being stupid when sending this recording. This is really stupid!"
Wei Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. It seems that Hawking recorded this passage before he came.
There was obviously silence on the other end of the phone, and then, a small noise was heard, followed by a low voice from a woman, which seemed to be cursing something, until the phone snapped up.
Wei Sheng and Hawking looked at each other. The former shrugged and said, "It seems that this time, you were considered a liar."
The latter was still the harmless smile that appeared to be human and animal, which made her wonder whether the other person's face could only make this expression.
"If this is a scam, I really want to praise your ability. Hawking's voice is not difficult to imitate, but Lucy's voice makes me almost unable to tell where Elaine is? Lucy is not always there. by my side."
About seven or eight minutes later, Wei Sheng waited for Hawking's perception of the call.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Professor, we need a little trust in each other." After that, she hesitated, raised her eyes and said, "Elaine Mason...According to the "trajectory of history" I know you have been in for two years. Later, she will be officially divorced. Before that, the media went viral that she had committed domestic violence against you. Later, you and your first wife, Jane, rehabilitated you."
Hawking was obviously shocked by this sentence. His eyes flashed, and his fingers tremblingly fiddled with the mouse in his hand. Soon, a voice came from the synthesizer, "NO!"
Wei Sheng frowned, staring at him and said, "Do you think you don't believe it, or don't you want to believe it?"
Hawking's breathing seemed a little quick.
Wei Sheng hesitated and walked to the side and dialed the phone to Old Cyril, "I am afraid you are about to leave. When you arrive in Cambridge, you may be considered a liar from a scam group, but what you have to do is to explain this clearly And let them talk again smoothly."
"You mean Hawking? Huh? You mean...they have already spoken?" Cyril's surprised voice came through the phone. As far as he knew, Wei Sheng had been classified as an activist last time. In two days, things have made new progress.
After hanging up Cyril's call, Wei Sheng turned to look at Hawking again. The other party had already recorded the content, "I don't think that is possible. Jane is already married to Jones. It seems that your homework is not comprehensive."
Jones is the organ player Hawking’s wife met when she was participating in the choir of St. Mark’s Church.
Wei Sheng frowned. The other party's repeated doubts and denials made her unable to smile. "I have to say that your suspiciousness and self-contradiction really make me admire. I am not interested in the love life of great people, so I can't give it. The perfect answer you want, as far as I know, you plan to co-author a universal science book with your daughter Lucy to help her become a writer. Of course, this may be something that many people know, but... I am not going to continue playing this authenticity game with you."
After that, she turned and walked out.
Hawking was already stunned, and then quickly slid the mouse.
