Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 816 Between Chinese

While walking on the street, Zhou Yu saw more strange sights.

Mostly very old "people" but also one or two office workers in their 40s and [-]s.Although the time was displayed as midnight, they were still on the street dressed formally, as if they were still on their way to work.Zhou Yu even found a breakfast shop that was open. The owner stood alone in the shop, maintaining a posture of picking up some kind of fried food.However, the fryer in front of him was empty, and the fire on the stove was not lit at all.

"Li Li, I have a question. The time of this city is not synchronized with the static time of the residents, right? So what if there is a contradiction in positional relationship? What if the ladder he stepped on didn't exist in this city?"

"So far, I haven't seen this kind of situation, sir. As I just told you, the birth time of Migenzhu City is much shorter than we imagined, so many problems have not yet occurred. "

After Li Li made this answer, he pondered for a while, and then said: "When this kind of situation happens, there may be two ways to deal with it. One is to keep the rules unchanged—since there are already 'specimens' ', it can overlap people together, or suspend people in the air, it will never be more difficult than creating a city out of thin air. But I think, if there is some kind of will behind this city, it will not would be handled in such a brutal manner."

"The reason?"

"Look around you, sir. It takes a lot of energy to make an elaborate set of dollhouse models, and an isolated city is much more complicated than that... A city is not a closed system, it needs to learn from the external environment. Obtaining resources can maintain the balance of various subsystems. You don’t need to witness any supernatural phenomena, as long as you carefully study the various government public data of Migenzhu City, you will find that the city cannot operate successfully in theory. It exists by relying on some kind of alien force. This is a very difficult balance maintenance process, so I think its creators have poured some emotion into it. It has a clear intention to imitate a modern city, so in people Afterwards, it performs all kinds of miracles, but is unwilling to cheat in front of others. Since it has such a tendency, it is hard to imagine that it will be so rough and brutal in dealing with the citizens. Generally speaking, I guess the current situation is just a temporary strategy. When enough people have accumulated in the city, maybe it will use other mechanisms."

"for example?"

"For example, to make this city work again. With a gap of ten years, Cage City and Migenzhu will become two independent time and space... This is an optimistic estimate."

"Is there anything else that is not optimistic?"

Li Li's footsteps paused slightly."I think it might be a backup," she said in a strange tone.

Zhou Yu looked at her questioningly.

"When I arrived at 'Hongluo' and 'Wangshu' for the first time, I was really shocked by the sights there, Mr. Zhou Yu. Those are two extremely exquisite models of ancient cities and tribes. Thousands of years, every detail is still vivid and fresh. If you have time, I strongly recommend that you visit it yourself. However, although I know that the two are far superior to the cage city in terms of viewing, I still insist on inviting you to witness Here. This is because it is essentially different from the other two. It is so close to the time of Migenzhu that there is almost no essential difference between the two. If there is no special intention, it is very unusual to isolate it. As far as I can see, this is like pre-crisis behavior - because the running system is facing some kind of catastrophic risk, so its state at a certain point in the past is copied and saved, in case the existing system collapses Replacement. This is a very typical backup and restore mechanism."

Her words made Zhou Yu more or less confused, but at least she was not completely clueless.After a short digest, he said, "Does this look like a software system to you?"

"Yes, I dare say this is a pretty amazing system." Li Li replied without a pause, "Although there are still many imperfections, it is more magnificent than any program we have seen , Exquisite, real. If it is not limited to a city, but can extend to a wider time and space, who can distinguish its authenticity? Sometimes this even makes me feel worried. Mr. Zhou Yu, after witnessing the After the situation, how do I convince myself that everything I experienced in the past is real and not a model house? This fear always pops up when I start investigating work.”

"You think too much. Since it is something that cannot be proven, there is no need to think about how to falsify it."

Li Li smiled complicatedly: "Fear is a much more complicated thing than cognition, sir. It's only partly about facts, more about imagination."

"Compared to this, I want to know what happened to the people in Migenzhu City. You said this is under the underworld, right? If that's the case, where did the local residents here come from? Are they also fake?"

He had already learned a lot of information from Hongye, and vaguely understood the lies of this city, so when Li Li explained all this to him, Zhou Yu was not surprised, on the contrary, he was relieved to prove everything.The only remaining issue that deserves special concern for him is those who claim to have grown up in this city.

If they, like the city, are some kind of forgery beyond common sense, are Zhang Mumu and Chen Wei also fake?It was beyond his belief.

"I don't know where they come from." Li Li said, "The professor I visited earlier was a local who grew up in Migenzhu. According to him, he never left in his life This city, however, is one of the most knowledgeable scholars I have ever met. His words and deeds are completely true, and it is hard to believe that he is just some kind of illusion. Maybe he is from a different place like us, but he obeys Some kind of different rules to identify themselves as Native-born - As much as I hope so, there is another possibility. Yes, maybe all Natives are just subroutines of some system that they were created The purpose is to populate the city and police outsiders."

Hearing Li Li's words, the first image that popped up in Zhou Yu's mind was not Zhang Mumu for some reason, but Chen Wei's when he was chatting.

"If they were just created things, wouldn't they be too real? I can't see any difference between them and real people."

Li Li fell into a strange silence.After a while, she said slowly and steadily: "Strictly speaking, Mr. Zhou Yu, we may also have been created."

"Do you believe in creationism?"

"That's not what I mean, sir. What I want to point out is that in essence we are just a collection of many physical changes and chemical reactions, a structure that is delicately built with material materials according to the genetic blueprint. If we go deep into its essence, we and inorganic matter The boundary of the human body is very blurred. In order to integrate the body, our brain has built a complete operating system and set its superficial operation interface to be very intuitive, that is the cognition of "I". We can recognize "Self" exists, so it believes that it is unique, and even constructs the concept of "soul" for this. But in fact, maybe it is just a part of the overall structure, an illusion produced by a certain program that continues to run. Maybe we originally It's just some kind of 'Chinese room' that is complicated enough that outsiders can't correctly identify whether we have intelligence or not, and even we ourselves have the illusion of 'free will' due to the complexity of the system. Physically Randomness doesn't exist."

Zhou Yu listened to her words blankly.This time he really couldn't understand it at all.The only thing he could tell was the gloomy look on Li Li's face. For a brief moment, some kind of frenzied haze seemed to pass through Li Li's intellectually bright pupils.
