Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 3: synth rebellion

Although he was reluctant to wake up, Russell arrived at the director's office of Amirus one minute before the appointed time.

"You really got stuck."

Amirus sat at his desk looking at the files.

When he saw Russell pushing the door in, he looked up at the time: "It's still fifteen seconds before the appointed time, why don't you wait a little longer at the door?"

"I'm worried that even if I step on the spot, you will say that I am late because I am one second late."

Russell, who was wrapped in a cold air, put his hands together and shrank into the corner of the sofa.

He squinted his eyes and said lazily: "This is the essence of modern technology. Accurate planning of travel routes can effectively reduce meaningless waiting time.

"Everyone's time is precious, so don't waste it waiting for each other."

The heater in this office was turned on just right, as if it was blowing him to melt.

"You don't seem to be in good spirits."

Director Amirus said with a smile, "Why don't you lie down and take a nap?"

"Let's get down to business first."

Russell opened his eyes and looked at the old elf: "Is there anything that needs to be interviewed? And you asked me to come over several days in advance...is it a big deal?"

"Well. It's a big business."

Amirus said gently, "I would like to invite you on a business trip to Tongshen Island."

"On business trip?"

Russell was a little surprised: "Why me? Why Tongshen Island?"

Amirus is the director of Thoth's spiritual energy. If he asked him to go on a business trip, he should also go to Sun Island, which is controlled by Thoth's spiritual power...not the Tongshen Island to which the fake Tokifat director belongs.

Even if he really wanted to go on a business trip to Tongshen Island by himself, why didn't that fake Tokifat come to find him in person?

"This is actually a task entrusted to me by someone. But the person I can command has already been killed by you."

"Actually, you can also choose another person. After all, the hero profession is still very popular. If you want to choose, it should be quite easy to choose."

"That can't be done. I'm dying, so don't trouble the next one...Let him choose whoever he wants."

"So you're giving me trouble?"

Russell asked angrily: "Then since you have no one at hand who can do this, why do you continue?"

"Because it's fun."

The old elf smiled and said, "I immediately agreed when I heard this, because I know you will definitely agree."

"Not necessarily."

Russell narrowed his eyes: "Why don't you talk about it first? What exactly is it?"

"There is a small problem on Tongshen Island," the old elf said lightly. "A group of synthetics have rebelled. They have stolen the control of a machine soldier, and hope to find someone to help solve it."

"…Uh-huh??"

After hearing a few sentences, Russell suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.

He looked at Amirus in astonishment: "Wait, wait a minute... Would you like to define first, what is a synthetic human?"

"That's what you want."

Amirus said gently: "The kind of artificial human that can be produced from the assembly line at the touch of a button."

"...AI rebellion?"

Russell had a ghostly expression on his face, and the drowsiness and drowsiness that was still lingering between his brows suddenly disappeared: "There is no rebellion on Sogo Island... What are you doing? How can I solve such a big problem?"

"No, no, it's not that outrageous."

Amirus quickly and patiently explained: "It's not artificial intelligence, but ordinary human beings. Although their bodies are artificial, the souls inside are real."

"...details."

Russell frowned slightly, vaguely realizing why this job would be found on Director Amirus.

Thoth Spirit is the only company among the seven giants that does research on things like "soul".

If there is a problem with Shenzhi Heavy Industry's research on the soul, I am afraid that only Thoth Ling can wipe their ass.

But Thoth Lingneng obviously didn't intend to help them himself, instead he was in a spectatorial position.

On Russell's side, if the operation is good... this may be regarded as an opportunity.

For ordinary people, this kind of thing is thankless.

Regardless of whether such a major matter can be resolved, no matter how it is handled, I am afraid it will not end well in the end.

It is a blessing not to be silenced.

However, for Russell, it can be regarded as a kind of prestige capital. The Tower of Babel also longs for more secrets...

Russell was thoughtful, and raised his head to look at Amyrus' face carefully.

That old and kind face became satisfied just because Russell gave an ambiguous attitude and didn't immediately reject it.

Curiosity and excitement have completely overwhelmed Russell's inner laziness.

"I think you should know about the 'Dust Gap'."

Amirus asked: "How much do you know about that matter?"

"Understanding the degree to which Chen Gap holds the 'Monkey-faced Eagle Program'."

Russell said it without hesitation.

By now, he has roughly guessed what happened on Tongshen Island.

There was no need to hide that matter any longer.

"Then it appears that you have everything you need to know."

The old elf gloated: "In fact, Tongshen Island's attempt to create a 'bionic body' didn't start after they got the monkey-faced eagle and Dust Gap.

"They've been trying to create a synthetic human for a long time. Or to be more precise, what they really intend to create is a 'prosthetic brain.'"

In fact, even with the development of technology in this world to such an extent, the human brain is still a black box. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

No matter how high the degree of prosthesis is, it is impossible to reach 100%.

Because of prosthetic transformation, it is always necessary to avoid the brain. Organs of the whole body can be replaced, but only the brain cannot be replaced with a prosthetic body.

Just like people with too high a degree of prosthetic body modification, they will get "cyber disease"-that is a kind of mental illness. They cannot confirm their existence, or even that they are alive.

This situation can be circumvented to a certain extent by using more expensive personal systems and more expensive prosthetic parts.

Because expensive prosthetics can analyze external touch and immediately feed back bionic signals to the brain, and more expensive personal systems can also assist adaptation by better and more precisely regulating hormones.

But even so, the way people solve "cyber psychosis" is to send specific signals to the brain to trick his brain into still having a sense of touch and presence, rather than fundamentally solving this problem by directly transforming the brain.

"The technology of Shenzhi Heavy Industry has reached the level of being able to synthesize 'any part except the brain' since more than ten years ago. But on the other hand, they have been stuck here for more than ten years. Up to now, they have done a good job. I have made all the preparations and intend to cross this 'last boundary of cyber immortality', so I need to obtain the 'Monkey-faced Eagle Program'."

Director Amirus said slowly: "[Monkey-faced Eagle] is the best pioneer."
