"Soul digitization, mechanical ascension, omnic apostles...the power of this world is quite interesting."
On the other side, in the room in the villa, Dorothy put down the information in her hand.
Although she was a little surprised at first that this omnic wasteland turned out to be the previous chessboard world, she was even more curious about what this world had experienced in the so many years since leaving the chessboard.
Under the power of the God King's doomsday apocalypse, this world was once struck by four levels of disaster.
Strife, war, famine, plague...
This is an experience that is simply unbearable for a living person, and the fragile body cannot bear such torture. There is only one way to survive these successive natural and man-made disasters, and that is to transcend the limitations of the mortal body.
Flesh and flesh are bitter and weak, and machines soar.
Fortunately, the Winter Empire co-founded by Dorothy and Elsa finally completed the early technology accumulation of mechanical ascension before the natural disaster. Although the soul was digitized at that time, the soul was turned into data and stored in the huge Hades.
The technology of the Difference Engine has not yet been experimentally verified, but under the pressure of a world-destroying natural disaster, the survivors had no choice. They turned themselves into test subjects for this technology.
Some people failed and embraced death with their bodies of flesh and blood, while others succeeded and were reborn with bodies of steel amidst the blood and fire.
The clearly visible soul consciousness that has been digitized allows them to overcome disputes. The steel body that can be replaced, repaired, and upgraded at any time allows them to fear war, famine, and plague.
In this way, the survivors, led by the great pioneer Akat, established the omnic alliance that has lasted for tens of thousands of years on the ruins of the perished Winter Empire.
Since the development of the alliance, the former Hades Difference Engine has evolved into today's Skynet system. The power of the machine has also completely freed people from the pressure of survival, allowing them to pursue more advanced things.
In short, the technology of today's world has exceeded the imagination of the creator Dorothy, and the future blueprint she originally designed for the Winter Empire did not reach this point.
Of course, she also saw at a glance the biggest contradiction and problem in this alliance today, which is the contradiction between the people's spiritual quality and the overly ideal equality system.
Yes, if we look at material conditions alone, the people of this world are simply living in the Kingdom of Heaven. Even if they don't work hard, they can live a good life and never have to worry about food, clothing, housing, transportation, medical care, and other issues.
The almost excess productivity brought about by the world's advanced technology can fully meet the needs of all Alliance people. The only problem is that the personal mental qualities of the Alliance people are not advanced enough to fully integrate with their overly ideal system of equality.
Dorothy also had to admit that the ideals of the founders of the alliance were beautiful. They were all people who survived the apocalypse. Most of them had suffered hardships themselves, so they wanted to support future generations.
Great man.
So they built this perfect social system like a paradise. All management is handed over to an absolutely fair and selfless system, all production is handed over to hard-working machines, all people are equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and there is no distinction between high and low in society.
There is no class, there are only differences in the allocation of work. Everyone can do the work they like and have talents. They live only for self-realization.
This utopia is so beautiful, just thinking about it makes people fascinated, and the otaku witch wishes she could become one of it.
It's a pity that dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. There is original sin in human nature, which makes it impossible for human beings to be rational forever, and it is impossible for them to really pursue self-realization according to the concept of the utopia.
If there is no need to do anything, people will only become lazy. If there is no need to pursue anything, efforts will be meaningless. If everything is absolutely equal, there will be no breeding ground for ambition...
A machine that is always rational will not do something that harms others but does not benefit itself, but humans do make choices that harm others and themselves.
The realization of the Utopia requires all people to have ultra-high moral standards and lofty self-pursuit, but it is obvious that most people in reality do not possess these two elements.
Therefore, forcibly implementing this overly advanced system when the quality of the people has not yet reached the standard will only lead to everything becoming distorted and collapsed.
This alliance that has been maintained for tens of thousands of years is now only stable on the surface. In fact, it has long been undercurrents and crumbling.
Moreover, in the final analysis, the alliance has not achieved true equality. There is still a transcendent existence above ordinary people, and that is the apostles who have completed mechanical ascension.
Each of these apostles is an immortal existence, their wisdom is as bright as a brain, and their body is as strong as a god. They are perfect existences that are the envy of all mortals.
But unfortunately, not all Alliance members can become apostles.
The system stipulates that only those who have made certain contributions to their respective vocations and obtained enough vocation contribution points are eligible to have their souls digitized, and then escape from the suffering body and live forever in the body of steel.
Apostolic rights and reproductive rights are the only inequalities in the system.
But you can also expect to get the reproductive rights one day if you are lucky. After all, this thing seems to be given out randomly.
But apostolic power is really a dream that is out of reach for most people.
Someone has calculated that if you are not that kind of genius and just perform your vocation in a dull manner, you need to never stop and perform it for a full hundred years without taking a day off to accumulate enough contribution points for the apostolic power.
One hundred years, or one hundred years without even one day. Is this something that humans can do?
As for genius…
Alas, even if the alliance forces the genes of all newborns to be on the same starting line, talent and talent are not entirely determined by genes. There are always some people who are born different, even if everyone uses the same genes.
Hardware, but their results are better than others.
Ordinary people need to work hard for hundreds of years to accumulate enough contribution points. Those geniuses can achieve it in decades or even ten years, and some monsters can achieve it in just a few years. It is really enviable to the extreme.
Can you not be jealous? After all, the difference between this apostle and ordinary people is really huge.
In Dorothy's view, even the lowest-level apostle probably has the strength of a great witch. This strength can be regarded as a god in most worlds, and ordinary Alliance people, even if they are highly cyborgs,
Transformation is something that even ordinary witches may not be able to achieve.
This is the difference between heaven and earth, gods and mortals.
On the one hand, there is a pathological forced equality, and on the other hand, there is the mechanism of becoming a god in one step. Dorothy can only say that this alliance is really twisted enough, as if it is about to "some things you will not have in this life if you are not born."
"This line of writing is written directly. This requires more talent than the witch world.
However, when the otaku witch went through the data on soul digitization, she suddenly realized.
These information are top secret and cannot be seen by ordinary people. Dorothy only relied on Zero to collect the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough to relieve her doubts.
"Tsk, let me tell you, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. It's great to reach the sky in one step, but there are no restrictions or costs behind it. In fact, the mission and points of love are to first refine your heart in the world of mortals."
Dorothy sighed, realizing once again that equal exchange is the truth.
According to the information she read from these top-secret files, the digital transformation of the soul is extremely risky, and the early success rate of transformation is even less than one thousandth.
Later, according to long-term research by the priests and sisters of the Mechanicus, they reluctantly discovered that the problem did not lie in technology, but in a metaphysical factor that was inconsistent with technology.
That is, the minds of those failed reformers are too fragile. Their weak hearts will not allow their souls to be reunited again after being digitized. They can only be completely broken down into a pile of useless objects during the transformation process.
Scattered data.
Only with a strong enough heart and strong enough beliefs or pursuits can the person being transformed be able to withstand the digital transformation of the soul.
Moreover, your xinxing also determines your mechanical load to a large extent.
For a long time, the Alliance has discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, when someone is highly transformed into a prosthetic body, there is a high probability that this person will have mental problems, and may even become a madman who kills everyone on sight.
Well, this setting is quite familiar to Dorothy, cyberpsychosis.
In the early days of the Alliance, cyberpsychosis was also a disease that was difficult to understand. After all, some people were still normal even if their level of prostheticization exceeded 99, but most people began to show signs of losing control as soon as their level of prostheticization exceeded 50.
At first glance, this seems to be a matter of talent, but obviously everyone in the alliance has the same genetic talent.
This question once tormented many priests and sisters and lost countless hairs, but after the theory of the nature of mind was put forward, this question was answered.
That is, the human body affects the soul, and the soul affects the mind.
Once a person's body begins to be transformed by a prosthetic body, the soul will also change in order to adapt to the body. Of course, this small change will not affect anything at first.
But once the degree of prosthetic transformation exceeds 50%, the change in the soul will reach the standard of the spiritual warning line. If you continue to become a prosthetic body, your heart will most likely begin to be affected.
.
You will begin to waver in your identity as a human being. You will definitely feel that you are a new species beyond human beings. Ordinary people will be no different from ants in your eyes. You will begin to think about whether you should try killing people like crushing ants.
etc.
Alas, after all, species are indeed different on the physical level. Just like you can't expect humans to understand the feelings of ants, you can't expect highly prosthetic supermen to understand you, an ordinary person.
Of course, people who have been reformed may still think that they are quite normal, but in the eyes of others, they have lost their humanity and are already mentally ill.
And the system whose vocation is to protect human civilization will not allow the existence of dangers that may kill humans at any time, so this kind of cyberpsychosis will be eliminated, and the apostles recognized by the system must still retain their humanity.
Therefore, the system finally set a high threshold for apostle transformation in order to select apostle seeds from the crowd who can survive the digitization of souls.
Well, although you can actually bet on the probability if you lower the standard, the system is not as gambling-y as humans. It doesn't want to be uncertain, just 100%.
Even if the lucky ones survive the digitization of their souls, the upper limit will not be too high after all. After all, the strength of the apostles depends on the strength of the prosthetic bodies on their bodies, and how many advanced prosthetic bodies they can carry depends on them.
The strength of the heart, what's more, the power of the heart of some powerful apostles can even amplify the prosthetic body, causing it to unscientifically exert its power beyond its design limit.
Therefore, when resources are limited, the system will naturally choose real talents with high ceilings and high quality, rather than a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers with low ceilings.
Wouldn't it be better if the miscellaneous soldiers and the like just use ordinary omnipotences? These fully program-driven mechanical guards will not suffer from mental illness. Although the upper limit of these omniums controlled by the system's computing power is far lower than that of the apostles, the lower limit is sufficient.
high.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder the alliance supports a stable population. It turns out that it is really to increase the shipment rate, and it is rare for the world to see centrality like this in this Western universe."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Dorothy thought so.
After all, the immortals in the Eastern Universe are better at tempering their mental state, and the Western Universe really doesn't value it that much.
Therefore, the transformation of an apostle into a god in one step is essentially the same as those in the Eastern Universe who had an epiphany early in the morning and ascended to immortality in the daytime.
After all, in the idealistic world, strength is just a small path, and mind is the big road.
"Well, then this world is really the best choice for Senior Sister Fanny to treat her illness. Senior Sister, she should hone her mentality."
But then the otaku witch became troubled again.
After all, since the standards of apostles in this world are so strict, it means that every apostle will be quite difficult to deal with, and his character is still firm, which means that it is difficult to fool him, so he wants to muddy the waters next and then take advantage of it.
The plan is not easy to implement.
True idealists are not easy to deal with.
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore, go to bed and talk about it tomorrow."
The house witch threw away the spell book, covered herself with a quilt, closed her eyes, and went straight to sleep.
However, she was sleeping soundly here, while Elsa next door was still working overtime.
"Huh? What did you say? The core of Skynet is lost? Are you kidding?"
In the angel girl's stronghold, she finally managed to save the few subordinates who survived the disaster, but she never expected that these guys would get a huge surprise as soon as they woke up.
The core of the entire alliance, the backbone of the Skynet system, can this thing be stolen? What do those apostles do for food?
"Chief, please calm down. This is not our fault. We just overheard the news. Before we could report it, we encountered Lingxu. We heard that it was the core of Skynet who awakened herself. She was not
What was stolen was because I had long legs and ran away."
The trembling girl who was frightened by Elsa's aura explained this with fear.
.........
And the other side.
A slender little girl walked naked through the busy city, picked up a set of children's clothing from a children's clothing display store and put it on.
"You are really my good apprentice. You also know how to wake up the teacher immediately. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
This cute little girl who looked like an angel was posing in various poses in the mirror while looking at the unknown foam sphere floating beside her.
"magic....."
The foamy radiant body was about to say something, but the little girl stopped her with her hand.
"Loki, just call me Loki now."
The young girl Loki said this.
So, the All-Union One was silent for a while, but finally spoke.
"I just want to join forces with you, Mr. Loki. This is my strategy with the highest winning rate."
"Haha, why should I..."
Loki was about to refuse, but she suddenly discovered something, and then her originally happy expression turned stiff.
"Damn it, Denisa, you're cheating on me, you actually ran away shamelessly."
She looked at the marriage registration form in the database, and her expression became ferocious.
