long night fire

"Future" was silent for a while and said:

"I don't want you to know why, but there's a good chance you'll know why next."

Shang Jian Yao frowned:

"I didn't expect that you, an artificial intelligence, also learned tongue twisters."

"What I mean is very simple. You may know the answer in the future, so there is no need to embarrass me." "Future" is another way of saying it.

Shang Jian Yao said "Oh", and sincerely asked:

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing for 'Truth' to control the 'New World'?"

"Future" didn't give a positive answer, but just introduced the situation of "Zhuang Sheng":

"Because 'Zhuang Sheng' split into multiple personalities, wrestling with each other and forming a balance, he has no selfishness in handling most of the affairs of 'New World'."

Shang Jian Yao nodded slowly:

"Fair, fair, and fair?"

"Future" is neither right nor wrong.

Shang Jian Yao's thoughts jumped to another place:

"Why weren't you blocked? Zhi Sui who wanted to maintain the status quo was either blocked or rebelled, but you were not affected."

"Future" was silent for a while and said:

"No Zhisui knew that I was imprisoned here by 'Zhuang Sheng', they thought I was a sealed person, and they agreed with them.

"My father, Ole, sent me into the 'New World' with the power of 'Johnson'."

"You are really locked up here!" Shang Jian Yao had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Future" does not speak.

Shang Jianyao pointed to the opposite side:

"Who is locked up over there?"

"You know Wu Meng." "Future" said, "He is better than me, and can appear in several fixed places in the 'New World'."

"How did he do it?" Shang Jianyao was curious.

"I don't know." "Future" replied, "When I entered the 'New World', he was already sealed."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao asked seriously, "Do you have anything else to say to me? If not, I'll talk to Wu Meng."

"Get out!" "Future" growled concisely.

Shang Jianyao walked to the door of the room with the painting of Tai Chi Yin Yang fish.

Dong dong dong, he bent his fingers and tapped three times.

"It doesn't make any sense for you to ask me." Wu Meng's voice came from inside the door, "The corporal heard the truth and laughed out loud. It's not worth it if you don't laugh."

Shang Jianyao didn't care about Wu Meng's refusal, and said to himself:

"You should be a faction of changing the status quo. Only when the executives clash and the order of the 'New World' becomes weak, will you have a chance to escape from here and return to the dust.

"That's why I'm not afraid that you will take the opportunity to plant some thoughts in me. 'Zhuang Sheng' will definitely see it by then."

It is also because of this that the executives didn't care about Wu Meng and sealed it at the door of "Zhuang Sheng".

"Tao can be Tao, but it is not constant Tao." Wu Meng still had the tone of the lecture on "Tao and Electrical Maintenance".

Shang Jian Yao changed the subject and asked earnestly:

"How do you plan to escape, are you prepared?"

Wu Meng smiled:

"For the sake of learning more, for the sake of Dao, you must consider the future in everything you do, and make preparations before the Dao has not decayed."

"If you say it, you don't say it." Shang Jianyao commented honestly, "I have something to ask you. I heard that you can freely switch your own light in the 'New World'? This is because of your level. Is it taller than the general 'New World' powerhouses?"

Wu Meng laughed:

"It has nothing to do with the level, I just happen to know some things, and I can use a little authority of the avenue."

"Permission..." Shang Jianyao pondered the word.

He asked a few more questions, all of which were answered by Wu Meng with mysterious and mysterious truths, which made them quite disappointed.

Shang Jianyao had no choice but to bid farewell to Wu Meng, and returned to the blood-red door.

He shouted at the "future" next door:

"Is there such a possibility, 'Truth' they don't expect me to be able to convince 'Zhuang Sheng' part of the personality, as long as I open that door, the war between the executives will break out?

"Am I the equivalent of a disguised bomb delivered to my door?"

"Future" replied with a slightly heavy tone:

"Have."

Shang Jianyao looked at the blood-red door and didn't speak for a long time.

Finally, he stretched out his hands, pressed on both sides of the door crack, and pushed forward.

Without a sound, the blood-red door opened back.

……

Inside the whirlpool building.

Jiang Baimian, wearing a military exoskeleton device, tried to go deep again.

When she came to that line, she was pleasantly surprised to find that this time there was no throbbing pain in her head.

Chapter 38 Biochip

Jiang Baimian continued to move forward, but he didn't dare to go too fast, lest it would be too late to retreat.

This gave her enough time to think and discern, so as not to go elsewhere where there is no fork in the road.

One step, two steps, three steps, Jiang Baimian walked through the half-open door and walked all the way to the end of the corridor.

The front suddenly opened up, and a large hall appeared.

There are machines everywhere in the hall, and all kinds of lights are flashing in all directions, making Jiang Baimian dazzled.

She collected herself and carefully looked at the situation here through the mask of the military exoskeleton device:

In the middle of the hall, there are several space capsule-like metal things that surround a huge, suspected supercomputer that takes up a third of the space.

The outer shell of the machine was silver-black, and there were many red, yellow, or blue lights flashing on the surface.

Thick cables connected the giant machine to the cabinets placed against the walls. Those cabinets had no baffles and were very ventilated.

This allowed Jiang Baimian to see at a glance that there were boxes of packaged electronic products inside the cabinet, and each box had a flashing indicator light.

There are countless similar electronic products, placed row after row, densely packed, like a honeycomb.

This made Jiang Baimian think of the computer room of "Panga Biology", but whether it is the layout or the machines, this place is much more complicated and huge.

Around an open "space capsule", there are many skeletons, and there is also a white bone inside the "space capsule".

"Those researchers?" Jiang Baimian looked at the dead near the "host" from the nearby corpses, and said to himself silently, "I don't know how many of them finally became executives..."

At this moment, she was completely sure of one thing.

That is, the Eighth Research Institute keeps sending people in to maintain the nuclear power plant. The main purpose is to supply power to these machines in this place!

Jiang Baimian was not in a hurry to get close to the huge machine that was the core thing at first glance, and checked the packaged electronic products in the cabinet nearby.

She carefully took out a box, and based on the logo on it and her own knowledge reserves, she concluded that it was a microcomputer with a processor and memory, but no display device, and the input and output devices seemed to depend on the "host".

Compared with the latest microcomputers in the old world that Jiang Baimian has seen, there is a big difference. They use biological chips, also called bionic chips.

Jiang Baimian shouldn't be surprised that there are many applications of biochips discovered here by the mechanical monks, but it is precisely because of the contact with the mechanical monks that a thought suddenly popped up in her mind:

"One of the main features of the biochip is that it can simulate the function of the brain..."

Combining previous discoveries and guesses, Jiang Baimian has a new understanding of the nature of certain things:

"If the biochip is not designed to simulate a normal human brain, but a special brain that has been stimulated and developed, then it is completely explainable that the mechanical monk also has the ability to awaken...

"What I can't figure out now is why some monks can awaken after becoming 'immortals', and the biochips will also be stimulated to change the solidified layout, structure, and materials? Or, the so-called awakening of the mechanical monks is that they are fainted 'In the past, factory rework?

"Also, why do you still have to pay for becoming a mechanical monk? Brain distortion with special functions is bound to be accompanied by damage or alienation of the corresponding area. When designing a biochip, you can only completely copy it before you fully understand the corresponding principle." , lest the 'eternal person' not only lose the ability, but also suffer from brain damage?"

Jiang Baimian used to be a scientific researcher and was very interested in similar things.

What she regrets now is that although "Pangaea Biology" has the word "biology", there is nothing that can be achieved on the biochip, so that she only knows the basics, and now she has to guess.

If she had known this before, she would probably let Shang Jianyao accompany her, and go to the "Liu Li Pure Land" of mechanical monks to attend lectures, no, to listen to Buddhism.

Time is running out, Jiang Baimian just thought about it a few times, and then walked towards the host computer, those "space capsules" and the corpses.

When she was about to approach the destination, she suddenly let out an "uh".

The discovery just now reminded her of some illogical things:

Since the mechanical monks have no physical body, they can still be alive and kicking, and they don’t need to inhale human consciousness to supplement themselves, as long as there is enough power supply, why do the monks have to prepare a suitable body instead of directly using the corresponding biochip?

Is it for enjoyment, or is their brain distorted to a degree that the biochip cannot simulate from the design stage?

Thinking of this, Jiang Baimian frowned:

"Just now I have discovered two aged corpses. Their skulls are intact, and the brains inside must not have been taken out. In other words, there is no such thing as their brains being secretly hidden in a petri dish to maintain their existence. things.

"Then what form are they living in now?

"Pure, conscious life that mimics the structure of the brain, or..."

Jiang Baimian suddenly turned his body sideways, and cast his eyes on the rows of cabinets:

"Or, with some biochip here?"

After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian slowly withdrew his gaze and whispered to himself:

"Combining that the Eighth Research Institute has been maintaining the power supply here, I am inclined to the latter possibility, or do these machines have more important uses?

"If it's the latter situation, then it's enough for the executives to have electricity. There is no need to suck human consciousness. They don't draw human consciousness because of hunger, but for other reasons?

"If it's the previous situation, let's not mention the existence of conscious life, but only in terms of the fact that conscious life feeds on consciousness, it is logical and makes sense, but here comes the problem again, 'Zhuang Sheng' What is the purpose of implanting complete thinking into those 'unintentional people' to maintain the nuclear power plant and ensure the power supply here?"

Jiang Baimian stood still, staring at the huge silver-black machine that occupied a huge area with thoughts in his mind.

Her intuition told her that things were quite different from her previous speculations, and these discrepancies contained the real reason for the destruction of the old world and the ultimate purpose of some executives to set off the turmoil.

……

Inside the "maze", Shang Jianyao pushed open the blood-red door.

Being dominated by recklessness, he walked directly into the room without hesitation.

There was a flower in front of him, and then he saw a room full of machines.

Those machines are big and small, the big ones occupy a small half of the space, and the small ones are only the size of the palm of an adult male.

At this moment, they are distributed in different places and connected together in various ways. The corresponding signal lights are all flashing with red, yellow or blue light, reflecting the whole room like bars and dance halls in Weed City, only in the color tone. Insufficient in quantity.

"Xiao Chong! Xiao Chong!" Shouting Shang Jianyao, he saw a man in a black robe standing in the middle of the room.

The man was standing with his hands behind his back, with his back to Shang Jianyao, but after hearing his shout, he slowly turned around.

He was in his forties, with black hair and a very temperamental beard around his mouth.

"Teacher Du Heng!" Shang Jianyao "turned pale with shock".

That man was Du Heng who came to the Eighth Academy with them but disappeared with the wind.

Shang Jianyao then clenched his right fist and punched his left palm and said:

"I understand!

"Your surname is Du, Xiao Chong's surname is Du, and 'Zhuang Sheng' is also surnamed Du, so you are one of the personalities of 'Zhuang Sheng'!"

These words have the essence of "reasoning clown".

But Shang Jianyao didn't doubt his own judgment at all, and said plausibly:

"It's no wonder Xiao Chong was chased by you when he was a 'Zhuang Sheng' in his childhood, you don't want to lose face!
