Hao Ren's thoughts went back to not long ago, the moment before the Zhuomu star reached the critical point and completely collapsed.
Nolan, the only NPC in Dream Ark, her special "soul" code prevented her from uploading to the Crystal Core Research Station through the drone link, and there was not enough time to establish a new one in the drone link.
The broadcast agreement, when everything seemed to be in a desperate situation, the only thing Hao Ren could think of was to do everything possible to preserve Nolan's soul. Since it couldn't be transmitted, then find a nearby place to preserve it.
Since the compatibility problem only occurs within the UAV link, the data processing capabilities of the Giant Turtle Rock platform itself are sufficient to cope with this level of incompatibility, so Hao Ren's last attempt was possible: he put
Nolan downloaded it to the shipboard host of the Giant Turtle Yantai.
Of course, this hasty download is still somewhat unsatisfactory. Nolan's soul was inevitably damaged after being downloaded to the host. This was mainly due to compatibility issues. Therefore, until just now, the spacecraft has been
While busy processing Nolan's data, the data terminal was left here for this reason. But anyway, the good news is that there is no serious problem in terms of memory and emotion. Nolan is an NPC, and her data itself is very high.
After some recovery and debugging, she finally recovered her self-reorganization function.
Looking at the gray-haired girl walking uneasily on the holographic image, Hao Ren scratched his face and didn't know where to start explaining. He could only introduce this place first: "This is my spaceship Giant Turtle Yantai.
"
"Your...spaceship?" Nolan's memory still stayed before the destruction of Zhuomu, and the last stage of her memory was spent in complete confusion, so she could hardly figure out the current situation. "Why did there suddenly be a spaceship...
...Ah! I remembered, the whole world...how is Zhuom?"
"Ahem," Hao Ren coughed twice. "Before doing this, let me check your status. How do you feel now? Are you in a trance or losing your memory? What is your surrounding environment like?"
"Me?" Nolan looked down at himself, "I seem to be fine. But I don't know where this place is. There is nothing here, I only see a lot of light floating around. Other than that, humans,
Houses, sky and earth, these things have all disappeared..."
Nolan said, a hint of panic suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Could it be that... the world is finally destroyed?"
"Dromu in the real world has been swallowed by the sun, seven hours ago," Hao Ren switched the window and transmitted an image data to Nolan's eyes. As a program body, the latter did not need to use "eyes" to browse the images.
However, in order to maintain the personality of "Nolan" as an individual, the shipboard host faithfully simulated her human functions, so Nolan still maintains human common sense and senses. Hao Ren saw a figure appear in the holographic image.
A group of smaller holographic images were created. Nolan looked at those images, his eyes gradually widened, "This is the image of its last moments."
Nolan looked at a huge, indescribable biological-mechanical hybrid burning in the sun, and the entire planet fell apart and fell into the sun. She was shocked and exclaimed: "Then now I..."
"Don't worry. I found a way to save everyone's souls at the last moment," Hao Ren coughed lightly, "Ahem. I have perfect soul transmission technology here, which is more advanced than the technology used by Drom's Ark. It can be like
Extracting liquid separates the soul from the material, so there are actually no people on the planet that fell into the sun. Your current location is the planet Tanagus, tens of billions of light years away from Drom.
, near a space station called the Crystal Core Research Station, this is my research facility."
Hao Ren talked about the large-scale soul data link project in one sentence in an understatement, but Nolan was not stupid after all, and she still heard that an amazing event that was probably beyond the understanding of ordinary people had happened at that time. She had no way of knowing the principle behind this event.
What it is, I can only accept it bluntly: "In other words... before the previous memory was burned, you transferred the entire virtual world data to another memory?"
Hao Ren nodded: "That's it."
"Is this new memory safe?"
"I'm sure the Bizoum Safe Crystal Core Research Station will be able to operate normally even if it falls into a black hole."
At this time, Nolan finally realized something was wrong. She looked around blankly: "But...where are the others? Why am I the only one here?"
Hao Ren folded his hands on the console and leaned forward slightly: "Nolan, do you... know what is different between you and others?"
"Different?" Nolan frowned. "You mean you can retain the memory of reincarnation? Can't you do the same?"
"Retaining the memory of reincarnation is just an appearance. What I am going to say next may not be easy to accept, but you must listen."
Hao Ren said, paused for a moment before his face straightened: "If I tell you, you are not actually a human being..."
He told everything in the calmest tone possible, including the entire structure of Drom's Ark and the causes and consequences of humans hiding in the virtual world 10,000 years ago, because only in this way can Nolan better understand this.
A huge, long-term, grandiose plan, and what role she originally played in this plan. When he heard that the virtual world was built in the dream of an ancient primitive creature, Nolan couldn't help but exclaimed,
When she heard that she was actually the monitoring program for a series of mechanical equipment used to maintain dreams, she remained stunned and could not speak for a long time.
She made more gaffes in just half an hour than she had in hundreds of years of reincarnation.
After Hao Ren finished speaking, Nolan still hadn't come to his senses. He could only wake him up: "Nolan, Nolan, I'm done."
Nolan's expression was dazed for a moment. She took a breath, bit her lip and looked at Hao Ren on the other side of the screen. She finally realized what the window in front of her meant: this was the dividing line between the real world and the virtual world.
The man on the other side is sitting in front of a certain device in the real world, and he... is still a string of data trapped in the virtual world, and this time this string of data is not even a human being.
"Is everything you said true?" Nolan's voice sounded unusually calm.
Hao Ren spread his hands: "I don't have to lie to you."
"I'm actually just a...program?" Nolan bit his lip, "A program made up by someone to monitor equipment?"
Hao Ren was speechless for a moment.
"So I actually have no parents, no family, no past, even these things have never existed in the real world," Nolan thought of a lot at once, "so my memories are all virtual from the beginning..."
Nolan's reaction was reasonable. Anyone suddenly knew that he was not a human being at all, but just a piece of code running in a certain machine. All the emotional experiences, likes and memories since birth were actually typed by one or a group of programmers.
I'm afraid his mentality will not be much better after the string. Nolan just sighing like this is already a sign of determination.
"Actually, as far as I am concerned, there is no difference between AI and human beings," Hao Ren knew that he should say something in this situation anyway. He talked about his worldview, which was the result of seeing countless strange things after becoming a prosecutor.
The broadened horizons generated by the strange forms of civilization and life forms, "beings who can be aware of themselves, have their own feelings, and have spiritual consciousness under this general premise are actually the same, whether they live in a carbon-based
It’s the same whether you’re in a body or a machine, there’s no difference at the soul level.”
"Thank you for your comfort," Nolan showed a stiff smile, "but... this is not easy to accept after all, isn't it?"
Hao Ren sighed: "Yeah, it's quite hard to accept."
Seeing Hao Ren's embarrassed look, Nolan took the initiative to change the topic: "Then let's not talk about this. You just mentioned that you are reshaping an ecosystem? If I understand correctly... you are like
Like the Creator, possessing this kind of power?"
"Ahem," Hao Ren almost coughed up his bronchus on the spot, "What you said is too exaggerated. My model is far from the Creator, and it is not my job to reshape the ecosystem. At best, I am just an investment this time.
Business: The kind that is only responsible for providing raw materials and venues.”
"Sorry, this matter is a bit beyond my imagination and not easy to understand." Nolan smiled slightly, and then his face darkened again, "Emotions are really a strange thing. I should obviously be happier, but after knowing that I
After it is just a program used to monitor the system, reshaping the ecosystem seems to have nothing to do with me."
Facing Nolan's wry smile, Hao Ren could only sigh helplessly with Lily. (To be continued)
