Boom, there was a big explosion in the diplomat's residence. It was man-made. A brainwashed refugee became a human bomb and blew himself up, causing heavy casualties.
This case was determined to be an electronic brain intrusion, with a powerful hacker behind it, and it fell within the scope of the work of Section 9.
Class Nine must take great risks to investigate the mastermind behind the scenes. The team members' electronic brains are equipped with the strongest offensive firewall. If hackers want to attack them, their firewalls will fight back. At the same time, their bodies have become prosthetic.
, even if it falls from a height of tens of meters, it will be safe. So what they have to consider is to find the hacker's hiding place, then rush in and arrest him.
As one of the few normal people in the Nine Sections, Togusa is responsible for surveillance and analysis. In actual combat, he is usually at the last line of defense, or drives a smart tank.
Motoko Kusanagi and others first went to the refugee camp to check if there were any missing persons. They would not know if they did not check. When they checked, they were shocked to find that many refugees were missing. Some were taken away by recruiters and never came back. Some were just
He disappeared, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Dulan was on the roof of the building, monitoring the refugee camp through a telescope. What he saw was a gloomy cloud. The refugees' hometown was destroyed, and they had to leave their homes and come to this closed island country to seek a chance of life. Unfortunately, the island country accepts refugees mainly to gain international reputation.
Rather than sincerely helping refugees.
In today's world of great strife, island countries have little sense of international presence. Although their companies are very strong, many companies have broken away from the control of island countries and purchased land abroad to build power.
The living conditions in the refugee camp are very poor. Everyone lives in tents, and the sanitary conditions are also very bad. Girls with pretty faces stand on the roadside, seducing passers-by. Many refugees gather together to numb themselves with illegal drugs, and there are many
Human eyes are full of anger towards the guests entering the refugee camp.
All of these are potential threats to undermine the security of the island country, but no one can solve it. Those who are aloof only need to consider the international image and do not need to really solve the problem. In society, refugees and islanders hate each other and are hostile to each other.
Want to physically destroy the opponent.
The incident in which refugees blew themselves up and attacked a diplomat's residence caused another commotion, and many citizens wanted to drive the refugees out.
However, the top management will ignore it. They have their own plans, and refugees are their means of making a fuss. As for the deterioration of public security, haven't they set up a team like the Nine Sections to deal with it? No problem.
Section 9 sneaked into the refugee camp to investigate. It was not that there were no clues, but there were too many clues. It was impossible to know which one was the clue to this case.
"There is illegal prostitution, there is illegal pharmaceuticals, there is organ trading, there is illegal religion..." The team members of Section 9 looked at the dazzling array of clues and felt that every clue could be the reason for the attack.
Where are these refugees? They are simply a breeding ground for crime, and everyone is a potential criminal.
"Is there anything about hackers?" Motoko Kusanagi asked.
"There are also things like stealing credit cards, making fake certificates, etc." Bart came up with new clues.
Everyone is helpless. They are all unrelated clues and cannot find the key content.
"There is really no choice but to work overtime." Motoko Kusanagi said: "Crack these illegal cases one by one."
"Are there any clues in the damaged electronic brain left at the explosion site?" Togusa asked.
"The damage is serious. Dinisa is restoring the data, but it's not optimistic." Motoko Kusanagi said, "We have to prepare for the worst."
The worst plan is to work overtime and solve all kinds of cases.
Boom, the second explosion happened, it was a hospital. A man dressed as a refugee blew himself up in the surveillance camera. This time there were more casualties.
The islanders finally couldn't bear it anymore and took to the streets to protest, hoping to expel all the refugees.
"It costs a lot of money to accept refugees. It will also cost a lot of money to expel refugees. Even if the expulsion is successful, who is responsible for the large amount of money spent? Of course, the top officials who accept refugees and expel them are not the same ones. After all,
We need a change of leadership." Dulan asked with a smile, as if the tragedy that happened had nothing to do with him, making people feel that he was very cold-blooded.
"Dulan, after staying with you for a long time, I feel that although our degree of prostheticization is high, we are still human at heart. But you don't look like a human at all, but like a monster, a cold-blooded monster. Every time
The first time I met a victim, you didn’t have the heart of a human being." Bart couldn't help but say. Others also agreed that Duran did not behave like a human being.
"What exactly is a human being? Your memories of being human may just be programs written by others. If your selves are all artificially created, does it count as a human being? If this counts as a human being, then I am also a human being."
"..." These words made Kusanagi Motoko very helpless, because she had been doubting herself. Although her memory said that she was a human being, and people around her also thought that she was a human being, she always felt that she was not a human being.
Bart regards Motoko Kusanagi as a human being. Although everything about Motoko Kusanagi is a prosthetic body except her brain, Bart just likes her, so he regards the captain as a woman.
But is this kind of feeling love or fetish? Is it love for humans or robots? Motoko Kusanagi can't tell clearly, and feels that Bart's secret love does not prove that she is a human being.
How is a person defined? Old ideas cannot answer it.
The currently recognized method for identifying humans and robots in society is actually very vague, which is the soul. That is to say, a substance that cannot be simulated by manual procedures alone is defined as the soul.
But since this kind of thing can be detected, it is only a matter of time before it is analyzed. The soul cannot be copied with current computing power and programs, but that does not mean that it cannot be copied in the future.
Dulan believes that computing power in the future can completely copy the soul, but there will also be side effects. When every part has a soul, the more transformations it undergoes, the more chaotic the soul will be, and eventually it will lead to cyberpsychosis.
.
At present, the program cannot copy the soul, so there is no such thing as mental illness when the whole body is integrated. However, as the soul is cracked in the future, mental illness will become the norm for reformers.
But when the time comes, humanity may be pursuing a cyber paradise rather than mechanical ascension.
"What are you talking about, humans or robots? The first thing to look at is the soul, and the second thing is to look at the attitude of the people around us towards us. If everyone thinks we are human beings, we are human beings," Bart said.
"It's really good that you can judge gains and losses by looking at people as a mirror. Then the problem is, when you have done a lot of work and accomplished a lot of achievements, but the people around you don't want to take responsibility and say that you are not human without conscience, what should you do?
?Or what if someone guides public opinion and makes everyone think that you are not human? If your human identity needs to be confirmed by outsiders, is it really reliable? Can you trust the conscience of others?" Dulan asked the question of name and reality.
.
Some people are named human, but they are not actually human. But some people are not named human, but they behave like humans. How should we judge?
"There is still a soul."
"The soul just doesn't have enough computing power at the moment to crack it. As long as it is something that is observed by technology, there is nothing that cannot be cracked. I think it won't take too long. In twenty years, the soul will no longer have secrets. The soul is just an ordinary person.
The parts can be installed on every modified organ, greatly enhancing the power of the organ and even transcending time."
"??" Everyone felt that Dulan was exaggerating.
Togusa couldn't help but said: "The prosthetic body is indeed powerful, but transcending time is just bragging."
"Don't underestimate technology, there will be it. As long as you live long enough, you will be able to see these technologies when you are seventy or eighty years old." Duran said firmly, the current speed of technological development is so powerful.
Kusanagi Motoko knocked on the whiteboard and said: "We are not a research institute here. We don't need to be so clear about science and technology. Now we have to solve the case. If the refugee case is not handled well, it will affect the international outlook. We are under great pressure. We must solve this case as soon as possible.
, whether it is done by refugees or someone is secretly taking advantage of refugees, they must be arrested."
This time someone really took advantage of the refugees. They hoped to intensify the hatred of the islanders towards the refugees to gain votes. It turned out that a politician put forward a radical slogan of expelling the refugees. In order to gain support, he used the refugees to carry out terrorist attacks and arouse everyone's anger.
, hoping that everyone will support his policies and help him win the election.
So this case is not a simple terrorist attack, but a political conspiracy. It has to be said that although technology has advanced, people's hearts are still the same.
