Overturned Tower

Russell was originally a world-class prosthetic engineer.

When he heard this, he immediately understood the thinking of Sanzhi Heavy Industry.

The prosthesis in other parts can be replaced at will because only the brain is the main body of thinking. After other parts are replaced, as long as the brain can be tricked, compatibility can be maintained. Their self is always there in their mind, still there.

But if a "prosthetic brain" is to be transplanted, how to transfer the consciousness in the brain to the mechanical prosthetic brain?

This is the biggest difficulty, and it is also the limit wall faced by the "cyber immortality" technology conceived by the Cyber ​​Church.

——And the monkey-faced eagle is a game-breaking point.

He has completed the uploading of his consciousness. With technical support from the elves, he imitated this lost "dragon technology"... although it is not yet known what the completion rate is.

But one thing is certain.

That is, if the monkey-faced eagle's consciousness can really exist in the form of data and programs, it means that its consciousness can be downloaded - since it can be stored in a program, it means that it can be compatible with mechanical meanings. brain.

The fake Tokifat needed this technology in order to build a "second mother tree" to put his consciousness into a new body.

But what Theosophical Heavy Industry and the Cyber ​​Church need is to invest consciousness into pure "machines"——

Because if they cannot completely download the uploaded consciousness into the body again, it means that the so-called "mind uploading" is just another kind of suicide, and it is not the eternal life they promote at all.

"So far, no one has been able to complete the uploading of thoughts, and no one has actually held the uploaded source file in their hands. This means that Shenzhen Heavy Industry is not sure what kind of brain should be produced in order to It is enough to carry consciousness. The monkey-faced eagle is a rare and unique copy, because he has indeed successfully turned his thinking into a collection of 0s and 1s.

"But before him, Shenzhen Heavy Industry could only use experiments to the extent of 'transmitting the consciousness of the human brain into the electronic brain'."

Amirus said lightly: "Of course... they consumed a lot of 'brain'.

“Until the end, they didn’t create a real, complete prosthetic brain.

"——But during this research process, they created a lot of 'synthetic humans'."

This is what Amilus said was the synth that sparked the rebellion.

"Their consciousness was poured directly into the prosthetic brain without digital rectification. This means that severe cyberpsychosis is almost inevitable - almost everyone becomes a madman, but there are always exceptions.

"There are some younger children who barely survived this 'thinking rectification experiment' and continue to serve as precious observation samples to assist in the experiment."

"The younger children..."

Russell murmured.

He didn't have time to get angry - because he had already realized the crux of the problem: "Is it related to psychic disease?"

"That's right."

Amirus said contemptuously: "They didn't understand what spiritual affinity means at all, so they carried out such a crude transplant. The root of spiritual affinity lies deep in the soul. They transplanted the consciousness and body but did not have the characteristics of spiritual affinity. This is why It will definitely not be compatible.

"Their way to make up for this was to transplant the children who had just developed psychokinesis into prosthetic brains. Their psychokinesis soon deformed into a kind of 'cyber spirit'. In other words, their souls transformed this This kind of 'cyberization' has become a new kind of spiritual kin, and allowed their souls to be integrated with the prosthetic brain."

"That is to say... they still haven't solved the adaptability of ordinary people's mind uploading?"

"That's right. This kind of thinking rectification is undoubtedly a wrong way to go... If only newborns who don't understand language can upload their thoughts, this technology is meaningless. But the Shenzhen Heavy Industry has created this kind of synthesis People', and 'raised' them in order to continue observation and research. Now they are in their teens, and are considered 'teenagers' according to human terms.

"They are like a kind of artificial intelligence, but they don't have that kind of computing power and learning ability. And their unique 'simulated personality' limits what they can do.

"So far, under the control of public opinion by Theosophy Heavy Industries, the existence of these synthetic teenagers, as well as the entire prosthetic brain research, has been a secret. Because of this, they cannot solve the synthetic rebellion through internal forces. We can only borrow power from the outer islands...because this incident cannot be leaked from beginning to end."

"If I'm not wrong," Russell said thoughtfully, "their motive for rebellion is probably because of the monkey-faced eagle."

"Because of the existence of the monkey-faced eagle, all previous research by Shenzhi Heavy Industry has been overturned and invalidated."

Amirus looked relaxed and smiled without any pressure: "Although it is not clear whether they were discovered when they planned to destroy these synthetic humans, or whether they had internal sympathizers who informed them of the existence of the monkey-faced eagle.' Synthetic The fact that the human race will not increase in number will no longer be shaken. They themselves are outcasts created as an experimental intermediate state. Unless the mind uploading technology is proven to be impossible to assist, they will eventually It is impossible for them to see the light of day in their lifetime. What allows them to survive is just the meager 'hope'.

"Now that hope has been completely extinguished and their existence has been proven to be worthless, it is natural for the synthetics to rebel."

"...I don't really want to worry about it."

Russell leaned back and sighed: "This is obviously the mess they made themselves. Let them clean it up."

"Yes, I think so too. It would be troublesome no matter how you deal with it, and I don't want to get involved."

Amirus nodded in agreement: "That's why I leave this matter to you."

"?"

"You owed me once, and now it's time to pay it back."

Amirus said lightly.

"You mean the prosthetic hand?"

Russell grasped his powerful left hand.

His originally pitch-black engineering prosthetic hand had turned into a combat prosthetic hand given to him by Amyrus.

It is all white, slender and elegant. Using the highest strength materials produced by Shenzhi Heavy Industries, the strength is increased to the point where it can easily block heavy bullets without being particularly outrageous in weight.

If powered, the weight can be further reduced through magnetism. And as the power is further increased, the output can also be increased - the grip strength and impact force can be increased to a quite strong level.

It also has four backup batteries that can last for a while without charging. It is also implanted with psychic weapons made of "misfortune sent from heaven", which can deploy a polarizing shield after entering specific emotions.

It is more suitable for Russell's current job than the flimsy engineering prosthetic hand he had before.

——It must be said that Russell still failed to live up to the expectations of his mentor.

She hoped Russell would become a network security engineer, but instead he ended up murdering people.

"That's not it...it's just a gift."

Amilus chuckled and said, "You owe me once because of the 'prototype' thing.

"That house was burned down by an inexplicable fire. Even the transparent glass walls melted and decomposed, but no waste was produced... We all know that this special flame cannot be made by an 'unpreventable weapon' What happened is also not within the scope of the 'budding lover''s abilities.

"That is something that can only be done with high-level spells or the power of Holy Orders. And you have not reported that you have these two abilities."

Looking at Russell who suddenly fell silent, Amilus just smiled: "But you don't have to worry... because I took care of this matter for you at the time. I said, that's because I take care of the heroes under me, Take action personally.

"Do you know the godfather of the Fuji Society? He has a principle, that is, if I help you, you must also help me... Do you understand what I mean?"

"Okay," Russell sighed helplessly, "I'll take over this job. But to what extent? Just help them deal with it? Kill all these synthetics?"

"That's not necessary."

Amilus narrowed his eyes, like a kind and ordinary old man: "There is no need to help them deal with it so cleanly, you and I are not from Tongshen Island... Just suppress it in advance. Convince those children You can hand over the mechas or let them leave Tongshen Island. They can go to other air islands or land... Anyway, they are not afraid of radiation. Happy Island may also be willing to accept them, after all, the chairman is a 'good man' Well. Maybe the church can also accept them.

"If that doesn't work, you can just destroy that mecha - let the red mecha that can instantly destroy one-sixth of Tongshen Island eliminate the threat to Tongshen Island. This is your mission."
