Endless Debt.

Chapter 177 Echoes
Alchemists can create a perfect body, but they cannot create the soul that animates the body.

TEDA's research has not only promoted the progress of the world, he simply smashed the high wall that hindered all alchemists completely, he made this cold body move, not only has human consciousness, she can also learn by herself, And in the constant interaction with people, a self-character is produced.

Burlogo even guessed that maybe Amy had a real soul.

artificial soul.

It sounds too scary, the unique soul is no longer unique, and no one knows what changes this will bring to the world.

But... Did TEDA really do it?
Bologo has doubts about this. If TEDA can really endow the body with a soul, then it is not me who is standing here now, it should be Nethaniel.

"I need to know what's going on... at least what's going on." Burrog's voice was emotionless.

"Huh? Why do you think she has character?"

TEDA raised another question. As if he had encountered a difficulty, he picked up the data sheet posted aside and analyzed it.

"It stands to reason that Aimu doesn't have such a thing as personality. This is just her imitation of human behavior."

"But I feel like I'm facing a real person. If I only listen to the voice, I can't even think that Amy is not human."

The more Burrogo thought about it, the more he felt a wave of silent fear, and the boundary between humans and machines blurred on Amy.

"It's like... like Amy really has a soul, and under the steel body, there is another person's shadow hidden."

Bologo said in a strange way, and after he finished speaking, he himself froze in place, and then the sense of familiarity in his heart became more and more intense.

If according to TEDA, Amyu does not have a personality, and everything about her is just an imitation of human beings, then Amyu is imitating the same person from the beginning to the end, a person that Burlogo does not know, but Amyu has no feelings for that person. It is absolutely familiar, imitated perfectly from the whole and the details.

Until there is no difference between her and that person.

"You molded Amy in the image of your daughter, right?" Burrog said in a low voice.

TEDA didn't have much reaction to Bologo's words. He found a chair for Bologo and motioned him to sit down. Then TEDA pulled a whiteboard with complicated graphics drawn on it, and there were several pictures posted on it. toilet paper.

Roughly speaking, this should be a blueprint for some kind of alchemy weapon. Its complexity far surpasses the mechanical watch in Burlogo's pocket. The precise alchemy matrix is ​​all over every corner of the metal.

"Do you know perpetual motion machines?"

Teda asked, in this situation, Burlogo feels like he is in class.

"I know," said Burrog.

"That's good, a perpetual motion machine, a wonderful device, as long as a certain amount of energy is input, it can continue to operate forever, but every alchemist knows that it absolutely does not exist, and the nature of the perpetual motion machine directly violates The most basic rules of alchemy."

The old eyes fell on Bologo, and Bologo continued what TEDA said.

"This violates equivalent exchange and energy conservation."

All this knowledge is written in the "Gold Discourse", and Bologo thinks that every Sublimation should read this book, which can be regarded as a popular science book on alchemy.

"When designing Aimu, I have always had a headache how to make her run stably and continuously. She needs a stable ether source, so I designed something close to a perpetual motion machine.

Of course, it is not a perpetual motion machine, it cannot run endlessly, and it also needs maintenance and supplementation, but its nature is more similar to a perpetual motion machine. "

Pick up a mechanical structure that resembles a heart from the TEDA workbench, and it is fixed on the base like a souvenir.

"This is the first-generation perpetual core I designed. It can be driven by a very small amount of ether to absorb a large amount of ether around it, inject it into the perpetual core, and provide ether for Amy's actions.

In this way, it continuously draws ether from the environment with a small amount of ether, and reserves the excess ether, so as to achieve a nearly perpetual motion. "

"This sounds quite like my resurrection from the dead. When I die, I also need ether to be resurrected. If Aimu is in an ether vacuum environment, when the ether reserve completely disappears, she will also enter hibernation. Yes ?"

Bologo looked at the perpetual core in TEDA's hand. As expected of being the director of the sublimation furnace core, TEDA could design such a thing.

"Yes, the core of perpetual motion needs ether to absorb ether. When there is no ether, it will stop." TEDA said.

"But what does this have to do with Amy's 'soul'?" Borrog asked.

TEDA was surprisingly patient. He just explained slowly. It seemed that he was going to tell Burlogo all this early in the morning, or in other words, he knew that Burlogo would definitely ask about it.

"Because Amy's soul is in her heart, in this perpetual core."

Holding up the Heart of Steel, the magnificent alchemy matrix shone on Taida's body. As the ether was poured into the perpetual core in his hand, Bologo felt that the ether around him was mobilized.

The fluctuation of the ether is not violent, but calm and soothing, like a gurgling stream, pulling away from the ether little by little, and pouring it into the perpetual core.

"Amyu's...soul."

Burrogo stared at TEDA, and TEDA actually admitted it all.

"What the core of perpetual motion needs most is stable, absolutely stable operation, for which its 'start button' is very important, so what is more stable than the Philosopher's Stone?"

Taida opened the core of perpetual motion, and the precise mechanical row was untied, and there was a small groove in the structure like a heart chamber, where a philosopher's stone originally existed.

"That is the Philosopher's Stone that I sublimated myself. Theoretically, it would take hundreds of years for it to disappear naturally. In order to avoid damage, I also carefully protected it."

Teda's voice was full of frenzied joy. He embraced the perpetual core with both hands, and fondled the cold metal.

"The initial energy that makes the perpetual core move comes from the scattered golden power when the philosopher's stone disappears."

Alchemists believe that the human soul is a kind of extremely pure ether, and after the philosopher's stone hour disappears, it is also the ether that turns into nothingness and returns to the world.

Based on all these, TEDA designed Aimu's power source.

Perpetual core.

Even if there is a day when the perpetual core stops, it will be at least a hundred years later, and it can also be replaced, so as to continue the beating heart and even reach true eternity.

"Then whose philosopher's stone is it?"

Bologo stared at the enthusiasm in TEDA's eyes. He was like a gold digger holding gold in his arms. Under the extreme desire, his spirit and even his body showed a strange sense of sickness.

"Is it your daughter, Alice Yazedette's?"

Taida froze completely, and it took a long time for his muscles to stretch. He put down the perpetual core in his hand, and looked at Bologo with gloomy eyes.

"The Philosopher's Stone is the sublimated entity of the soul, which contains secrets far beyond our knowledge, but it is forbidden to study because of ethical regulations.

But is this really banned because it violates ethics, or does someone discover something in the philosopher's stone and wants to bury that secret forever? "

Teda's expression was very calm, but his tone was full of madness, and the aura he exuded shocked Burogo for a moment.

It is not a fear, but an almost crazy pursuit of the truth of knowledge.

"Did you know? In fact, we can barely see the traces of his life and the reverberation of his memory from the philosopher's stone, just like the tombstone of a human being after death, everything is recorded on it.

That's it, the mysterious soul contains our thinking and memory, and after we die and leave the body, the solidified philosopher's stone should also record all of this. "

Hearing this, Bologo understood everything, and he whispered, "Is this why Aimu is so human?"

"yes……"

Taida woke up from that frantic state. He leaned his back against the workbench and looked down at the mechanical heart in his hand.

"I don't know the reason, it may be her philosopher's stone as the power source, causing the echo in the philosopher's stone to affect Amy, and Amy's behavior is more and more like her... Obviously Amy has never seen her .”

"There is something of your daughter in her," said Burrog.

"But she's not my daughter, she's just... too similar."

"So the more this is the case, the more you have to control your emotional investment in the tool, but you still can't control yourself and let her become your student. This is deceiving yourself." Burogo commented coldly.

"But she's really cute, isn't she?"

Taida raised his head and asked back, looking devastated.

Burlogo didn't know who she was referring to, Alice or Amy, and perhaps even Ted himself didn't know.
