The sound of heels hitting the ground echoed far away from the metal corridor sandwiched between the cold corpse lockers.
The complex-structured alloy door slowly opened, and the components that made up the door were retracted in four directions: up, down, left, and right.
The last ice coffin was displayed alone in the secret room at the end of the underground space. From a distance, the light shining from the ceiling was slightly warm and yellow.
The protective metal shell was peeled off piece by piece from the surface of the ice coffin, revealing the inner glass coffin lid. Yan Luyi thought that he had made enough psychological preparations, but when he saw the scene inside, he almost screamed with shock.
Call it out.
——The upper body was withered, the lower body was charred, and the ends of the limbs were completely carbonized. The miserable condition was so horrific that it was difficult for her to connect this body with the flourishing second son of the Ye Group: "This... is really...
…It's you!?"
"The human body is too fragile." Ye Fanxia placed his hand gently on the coffin lid, with only a thin layer of glass separating him from the coffin.
His expression was extremely calm, and there was even a hint of a proud smile, "Previously, I thought the way out was fine machinery, but I didn't expect that reality is further than imagined. We are just data."
Yan Luyi was stunned for a moment.
She didn't know whether the charred and withered thing in the coffin should be called a "corpse" when Ye Fanxia's consciousness still existed, or a "body" that had been iteratively replaced.
Her mood at this time was very complicated, with countless feelings mixed together, but there was no emotion of fear. Instead, it was more of a heart-wrenching pain, which reminded her of how cold it was, but how hot it was because of the acid.
Like the belly of a giant snake in hell, this was the greatest pain she had ever experienced in her life.
It was obvious that he had been through hell.
"Fan Xia," Yan Luyi grabbed his hand that was resting on the coffin lid, "What happened before?"
Ye Fanxia always wore gloves, even now. But she could still feel the "human" body temperature coming from his body.
Yan Luyi hates thinking about complex problems. "Fine machinery" or "data" is not important, "corpse" or "body" is not important, what is important is friends - no matter what kind of existence he is, he
He is her important friend.
"Three years ago, when I was experimenting with the wrapping effect of the tactical box, I had an accident." Ye Fanxia's tone was understated, as if he was just talking about an extremely ordinary thing, "But it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, which made me
Got to know Guo Jiu."
"Eh?"
The metal shells on the outside of the ice coffin were closed layer by layer, and he took her outside. "At that time, I was soaked in nutrient solution and rejected many patching repair plans. I hoped to be upgraded and replaced with a pair of fine machines.
Transformed body. In fact, this is not too whimsical. The brain can survive outside the body and the physical body can be replaced by a mechanical form. This is a topic we have been studying, and we have already achieved certain results at that time.
"But if you really do this, you need to take a huge risk. My father called all the scholars who had even a little bit of research on it and said that we should achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible through concentrated research.
"Of course, there is not much hope of doing this, because scientific research and innovation are always very random, and there is no return for investment. He just planned to let me give up as soon as possible and receive treatment as soon as possible. I never expected that Guo Jiu would die that day.
A feasible plan was sent to me."
"So powerful?" Yan Luyi was surprised.
"Forget it," Ye Fanxia held up his forehead, "The scene was very embarrassing at that time because we originally invited his father, but his father thought it was too whimsical and too lazy to waste time. He also thought this was a good learning opportunity for young people.
Given the opportunity, he sent him over.
"In short, after getting the plan, I immediately wanted to see him. After the meeting, I was even more surprised, because he brought over the remains of some mechanical bodies built with super-era technology."
Yan Luyi seemed to have guessed something: "Could it be from Keken's ship..."
"That's right, but the mechanical female bodies you saw are only first-generation prototypes and have little value. The finished products made by the Kirken people have basically been destroyed." Ye Fanxia said, "He has been investigating the Kirken civilization.
Therefore, we obtained some remains, and it was precisely because of these remains that we obtained the technology to achieve mechanical replacement of the human body."
"In other words, the Kirken civilization has also gone through the path of mechanization of humans." His tone became excited, "I think the Kirken people were initially deceived like us. They developed into human bodies.
Mechanized, then developed into digitalized thinking, and finally learned the secret of the world. Everything that exists is just code... Then they became rebels and started a war against the god's civilization that controlled this system.
"We have no way of knowing whether it failed or succeeded in the end, but in short, this war caused many things to go out of control. The disordered space debris and random human mutations are manifestations of the system being out of control."
"Then," Yan Luyi asked, "if the system can be repaired, wouldn't many problems be completely solved?"
"Yes, this is our next work," Ye Fanxia said, "That compiler can obviously help us analyze the code of life. It will be an entry point for us to understand this huge space system.
"
"Wait a minute," Yan Luyi asked a crucial question, "Why don't the Weiheng Society and the Alliance want someone to repair the system?"
"Because no one can guarantee that the system will be repaired instead of going to collapse. Compared with the hell picture that may result from a system collapse, it is easier to accept living in a world with some flaws." Ye Fanxia explained, "What's more, Weiheng will be very
It may just be a subordinate organization of the alliance, and the powerful alliance is composed of connecters, and you know, connecters will not mutate."
Yan Luyi couldn't help but sigh.
Ye Fanxia said: "In fact, their considerations are reasonable. The Alien Front is also an organization that has come into contact with the truth, and it hopes to solve the problems of this world more than anyone else. The increase in the mutation rate means that the system is getting out of control, which may
It has something to do with their activities.”
Yan Luyi hesitated: "In that case, should we still..."
"Of course it should." Ye Fanxia said, "If the system is further out of control and eventually collapses, only by mastering the source code can we turn the tide."
"It sounds a bit like an arms race." Yan Luyi shook his head, "But after talking for a long time, it still feels unrealistic to accept things like 'we are all codes'."
"In that case, I can only tell you this matter." Ye Fanxia looked at the communication terminal, "Yan Yue is still accompanying Guo Jiu for examination. Do you know why he seems so nervous?"
"Isn't it because of love?"
"When Zheng Xiang made up for that shot, he was already dead." Ye Fanxia said, "Later, his body was repaired through a strange crystallization method and he was resurrected again. You can ask about this. Except for Yu Nian Bu Ran, other people
Everyone knows it."
"What?!"
Yan Luyi froze into a statue on the spot.
"It's such a wonderful world we live in."
It took her a while to calm down, and she spoke in a trembling voice.
