In fact, when he saw the handsome boy resurrecting Johnny Silverhand and transforming into another person on the spot, V knew that the current situation was not suitable for him and Jack to continue following him.
No matter what these people are going to do next, it will definitely involve some core secrets, and in a place like Night City, sometimes the more things you know, the faster you die.
It wasn't that she was worried about what the handsome boy would do to her. Not to mention that she had a special relationship with Xili, but his previous attitude had always been sincerely friendly. He took everyone to blow up Arasaka Tower and took good care of them all the way.
What she is worried about is that if other companies know that she is related to this mysterious person, will they come to arrest her and torture her? Will they send her to a laboratory for slices?
The answer is very possible. In the information age, many things are not secrets. It would be easier to follow Johnny Silverhand to blow up Arasaka Tower. After all, everyone knows about Johnny, so it is not a secret.
If I continue to follow the man who has returned to his original form, do things that are beyond the expectations of major companies, and let them see what new technologies or money scenes appear in these things, then I and Jack will never be able to live in peace for the rest of their lives.
Blowing up the Arasaka Tower is just to go against the Arasaka Group. Other companies will not mind this business, and may instead try to recruit themselves to do things for them.
And if the utilization value like an endless oil field is exposed, it means that it will be targeted by all companies, and even if they can't get it themselves, they will destroy it to prevent others from getting it. This is the fuse of corporate war.
She still has a good idea of her abilities and must not become the target of public criticism, so she should leave now, find a place to stay, and see which way the wind blows tomorrow.
"Okay, let's take a step first and contact me if you need anything." V accepted the arrangement very simply, and then walked aside to kiss and hug Xili. It was obvious that he had another appointment.
It didn't take long for her and Jack to leave this dilapidated factory. As for how to get back to Night City from the wilderness, it was very simple. Just buy the Mandela taxi service package. After all, it's not too far from the city.
Far, at most it's just a matter of adding some money.
The two men left, Rogge's men patrolled and stood guard outside the factory, Xili continued to act as a gourmet, and Su Ming had nothing to do in a short period of time.
He returned to the campfire, stretched out his hand to pull the firewood, got some marshmallows out, and roasted them on the fire. The beer was also ready.
Summer nights in the wilderness are just like camping, perfect for roasting marshmallows and eating them.
At the same time, he was also observing Johnny and Rogge not far away, watching the two people communicating and the man among them constantly smashing things like crazy.
Speaking of which, personality cloning technology has always had a philosophical problem, or it has been a problem since implants were invented and widely used. This is called the 'ship paradox'.
It is also called the Ship of Theseus Paradox. It is a classic philosophical question that mainly discusses issues of cognition, existence and change.
The main description of this paradox is: There is a wooden ship floating on the sea. Due to the continuous renovation and replacement of wooden boards, the ship has not sunk for hundreds of years.
Whenever a board rots, it is replaced with a new one, and this continues until all boards are replaced.
Then the question arises: Is this ship that has been constantly replaced with planks still the same ship? If so, a reasonable explanation should be given. If not, at what point did it cease to be the original ship?
What? If old parts removed from the Ship of Theseus are used to build a new ship, then which of the two ships is the real Ship of Theseus?
This question is raised not only about ships, but also about objects, and even what is the essence of individuals. Is only material form the proof of its existence?
If the concept of time is introduced, another paradox will arise, which is the so-called Yellow River problem, that is: Is the Yellow River today still the Yellow River yesterday?
The problem of the boat reveals the mystery of perceptual regulation and self-awareness.
Because in human traditional concepts, this ship is a fixed concept of existence. In other words, the perceived Ship of Theseus is the real Ship of Theseus, and the concept of Theseus is the Ship of Theseus.
The ship must be absolutely stationary, perfectly unchanging.
However, if this ship undergoes various changes day by day in reality, then every part of it has been changed, and it should not be the ship of Theseus, nor can it become "itself".
The reason why this paradox is interesting is that it involves the ontology of philosophy, matter and consciousness, part and whole, purity and composition, existence and eternity.
So the Johnny Silverhand that he resurrected, is he really Johnny Silverhand? Or is he another person with the mark of Johnny?
If all of a person's memories are copied into a new body, whether this new body is still the same person as before, involves complex issues of identity recognition, consciousness and memory.
First of all, having a person's memory does not make you and that person the same person. As a symbiote host, Su Ming knows this very well.
Even if the victim's memory, thinking habits, and living habits are copied into Su Ming's mind, his body will not be able to feel the original victim or empathize with him. He will not become a copy of the victim, and naturally will not be the original one.
That person is.
He can replace the victim and live his life without anyone noticing, because from the perspective of onlookers, the clone is basically the victim himself; but what about letting the victim see it for himself? He will feel that the death knell of all his memories is his.
alone?
So, if a person loses his memory, or loses his original consciousness and is replaced with a new personality, is he still the same person? The body is, but the soul is not. Who knows that he has changed?
The things seen by spectators and subjectively are completely different, and some philosophical issues derived from implants and personality cloning technology are of some value to Su Ming.
The so-called thinking, consciousness, as well as spirit and manifestation, maybe when they are completely unified, they will become the real God?
Su Ming just got a little inspiration and had some conjectures, but he didn't want to become a god. He just needed a better 'angle' to observe the so-called gods, or to observe CAAT.
Because to humans, that guy is undoubtedly a high-level god, but if there is no way to completely observe it, let alone find its weaknesses and fight against it.
From the scenes he saw at TOAA before, Su Ming discovered that when the CAAT he saw appeared in different worlds, it had different appearances.
So, is it what it is? Or is its existence not unique? Or is there something that I haven’t understood yet?
"Tsk, it seems we need some other inspiration."
Su Ming took back the marshmallows that were roasting on the fire, tore a small piece off to taste, and stuffed the rest into Strangler's mouth. It really liked sweets.
