Cyber ​​Heroes

Chapter 835 Bernard's last words

"Okay, the camera can't see it from this angle. Don't straighten your body to check the camera, it will definitely cause problems."

Xiang Shan's body froze slightly, but he still resisted the urge to look at the camera.When he participated in classified projects many years ago, he also experienced relevant training.He didn't show any intention of avoiding the camera, but whispered, "Old Di, what do you mean?"

"You're in a huge deception...not just you, all of us are. Do you occasionally feel a little bit out of place when communicating with others, as if everyone is not talking about the same thing? Do you Do you suspect that the news you see is different from what others see?"

Xiang Shan said: "This sounds like some kind of conspiracy theory..."

"I guess so. Even if you have doubts occasionally, you will use 'I am a rational person, don't just believe in conspiracy theories' to convince yourself to follow the order. When everyone around you is so normal, you can't avoid it. Persuaded. You are the absolute core of this scam, and this is a cocoon built for you alone. No matter how powerful your personal ability is, you are no match for many people."

"It's impossible. It's impossible for such a sophisticated plan not to leak a little bit of wind."

"It's possible. Because you advocate the replacement of human labor with intelligent systems, these are achievable. Tools can greatly save human power, until quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes-this is also your creed. I don't know how to implement it. I know. But let me ask you first, how long has it been since you maintained the system you wrote yourself... No, no, I should ask this. Do you think the background, code, etc. that you see through your office computer, Is that what the company is running on?"

Xiang Shan didn't speak.

Lao Di knew nothing about technology, so he couldn't explain why.But... what he said was possible.

But who can do this... this... in front of the world's number one hacker?

Xiang Shan suddenly remembered the night when Zhu Xinyu held the knife.

Zhu Xinyu is just one person.There are bound to be times when people relax.When she is traveling, on vacation, or sleeping.

"But... there is always the risk of being seen by unrelated people... There are so many people in the company, it is impossible for all of them to be part of them..."

"Can they see it?" Bernard asked again: "What is the utilization rate of our company's prosthetic eyes?"

In order to show the determination to promote human prosthetics, there is a certain amount of employees in Superman Enterprise, and they can use company resources to obtain prosthetic bodies.Most of the former hard-working students and current enterprise workers who suffer from eye diseases will choose "prosthetic eyes".

"However, the design of the prosthetic eye is not subject to external control..."

"Did you burn the control chips of those prosthetic eyes by yourself?" Bernard sighed: "Maybe Ms. Zhu will also check the prosthetic bodies of the people around her regularly. But she can only ensure that the prosthetic bodies of a small group are not will be controlled...and as long as this small group can only obtain information from controlled channels, then they can only see the illusion anyway..."

"However, this is how it is done... If it starts from this step, then they..."

"Not everyone is like you, who dug a 'gold mine' from nature and aliens, Boss. It should be said that after the era of the gold rush, such people hardly exist. Some people already have Huge power. Since you have not yet ruled the entire human world, these people who already hold power can complete the connection in a place that you can't see. The upstream suppliers you entrust, the companies you acquire... "

"Because you are obsessed with dismembering the superhuman enterprise through anti-monopoly rules after completing the great business, so they have a chance. You think that the people who have been gradually absorbed in the past ten years have joined this enterprise on behalf of the will of various countries. But You don't realize that they have formed a group in this super consortium. If you continue to endure, the dismemberment process you have implemented will continue to go through. But that is only a superficial process. This organization we have created in our lives Nominally, it will be absorbed by the people's livelihood departments of various countries, and then the rest will be split into some medium and large enterprises that provide medical services and produce prosthetic bodies for healthy competition. But in fact, the forces that have gathered will not disperse..."

"As long as you can't watch every process with your own eyes, even if you have imperial power, you can't control the whole world."

It is not human instinct to obey rules.

"Also, I guess you haven't looked at paper records for a long time. You are confident that you can get all the information through the Internet, and you feel that you can see the traces of the records on the Internet. The information brought by smart devices, reading information The convenience of the paper media is incomparable. But sometimes, when you look up the paper news magazines in the past, you will find how outrageously the information on the Internet has been modified..."

"But it's too late now. Even if you subscribe to paper newspapers now, the content delivered to you must be specially customized for you. When you chat with others, what others may hear may not necessarily be what you say. The artificial ear may replace it with pre-synthesized audio. Speaking of which, in your memory, how many times have we called over the years?"

"Varied……"

"But it's more than that. The most serious thing... the person you trust may not really be the one you trust..."

Xiang Shan unconsciously clenched Bernard's hand.He recalled the inexplicable words that Zhu Xinyu said again.

"Replaced?"

"You created such a convenient thing as a 'prosthetic body'...flesh and blood can be cloned, and numbers and identification can be forged...How can a prosthetic body prove that it is itself?"

"Who..."

"I don't know. I'm just a natural person dying of old age." Bernard whispered, "It's much harder to fake a natural person than a prosthetic person. Our eyes are primitive and fragile, but there are no artificial ones implanted. The back door... Yes, in a few days, I will enter the isolation ward due to weakened immunity. After all, I am already very old. What you will see by then may not be my rotting body. "

"If you insist... I suspect that Director Sun is no longer Director Sun. Director Qian may still be Director Qian, but he may not be on your side. Director Li... I can't say..."

"I……"

"Years ago, you tried to use AI... what trained, to simulate the confrontation between artists and critics... If there is AI, it will be born only for you, only for you to write false content, only to pollute what you see The source of information...it does not make you believe, but stuffs a lot of information and blunts your judgment...Can you resist it?" Bernard said: "If you let people help you judge for you, you will Make sure that guy is absolutely trustworthy..."

Xiang Shan asked in a low voice, "Then what should I do?"

"I don't know. This is far beyond the limit of my ability." Bernard gasped: "I'm just a Homo sapiens waiting to die... I can convey that warning to you, it is already my limit Yes. If I want to give you a hint... Ms. Zhu may have known something, so she disappeared. You can confirm her personal ability, and her talent cannot be imitated for the time being, so you haven't seen it The police found a... pretender..."

"However, how did she know... Think about what she did in the end... If you were her, what would you do? What path would you follow? The clues she found must be hidden there... ..."

"Besides, don't trust anyone easily, don't even trust your own eyes and ears... Fortunately, most of your prosthetic body is done by yourself in the laboratory, right..."

"You can only decide what you want to do. There has never been such a terrible thing in history... Personal will has never been so unimportant... But I believe that as long as you see the truth clearly, even for a moment, You too can walk out of the fog..."

Bernard adjusted his breathing again: "But this time, follow your soul. Don't think that the body and soul can be independent. No matter how noble the soul is, if it enters the filthy skin, it will be trapped by the skin. Fate Ah...Fate will punish such a self-righteous soul. A person's fate is ultimately determined by his actions in the world..."

Bernard's voice grew louder.This has been a bit difficult for him.

Xiang Shan knew what this meant.If you jump out of this conversation, in the eyes of others, Bernard is probably cursing him. Cursing him and his mechanical body will surely be punished by God.

It completely fits the image of an old Homo sapiens—the kind of person who can't accept the long lifespan brought by standardization and prosthetic body, but he himself has no chance to enjoy it.

But Xiang Shan knew what Bernard was thinking.

He let go and nodded.

Bernard closed his eyes.What he needs to do has already been done.

He can rest well.

Bernard believed that this powerful person in front of him could still perform miracles.

When Xiang Shan turned to leave, Bernard asked, "Boss..."

"Ah."

"You always say, 'The old society turns people into ghosts, and the new society turns ghosts into people'... In your eyes, I used to be a ghost. So now, have I become a person?"

Xiang Shan suddenly felt sour in the corners of his eyes: "Of course you are alone, Lao Di."

After Xiang Shan finished speaking, he left the medical center that was affiliated with the Superman Enterprise and turned into a small number of important personnel to provide services.

At this moment, he resembles a soldier who has been evacuated from his homeland or defense zone because of failure.

In the second month, Bernard Dubois passed away peacefully in a light sleep—at least according to the information Xiang Shan saw.
