Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 32: Meal Replacement and Substitute

In that terrible silence, only whimpering and sobbing, Bubble-30 stopped what he was doing, and handed Russell a cup of coffee liqueur with ice.

Because the temperature was lowered with ice cubes in advance, a layer of dew did not immediately condense on the outside of the glass. It does not have the thick and dense foam on it, and the taste of caramel and cocoa is immersed in the liqueur, which does not have an overflowing, fragrant and sweet aroma like mulled liqueur.

Russell first stuck out his tongue, and lightly touched the surface of the wine with the tip of his tongue to confirm the temperature and sweetness.

The unexpected coldness and bitterness made him open his eyes wide. What followed was the mouth-stinging thrill of spirits.

Russell originally thought it should at least be sweet. At the very least, it should be some kind of low-alcohol wine that only offers a slight booze.

But he didn't expect that this wine would have a degree close to 20 degrees when it was made into a cocktail.

It has double the alcohol content of ordinary red wine... Although it doesn't look very high, it is a full one and a half liters.

...Mr. Otter just drank it all straight away?

No wonder it started to get red on the face after drinking half of it, and started crying after drinking it all. It's not really acting...

"He really drank too much."

Russell looked at the huddled Mr. Otter and sighed softly.

The first URL https://

"Is such that."

Bubble-30 replied in the same very soft voice.

It's like the whisper of a lover in the ear, and it's like the voice sent when waking up in the middle of the night. The sound made based on not waking up or disturbing others.

It was the first time that Russell raised his head and looked at Bubble-30's appearance seriously.

Taking a closer look...he realized to his surprise that the child's figure was unimaginably thinner.

The deeply outlined clavicle, the slender waist without any fat, almost no different from humans in appearance. Although thin and thin, his tall and straight figure did not waver in the slightest.

The corner of her mouth has a motherly... helpless and kind smile, which reminds people of a loving mother who sews clothes for her children under the warm light.

And that pale face was so pale that it was almost transparent. In the dim yellow light, the girl's face and arms reflected a warm light, just looking at it made people feel sleepy and warm.

She looks fairly calm.

Even after hearing Mr. Otter's previous words, there was no sadness on his face.

...or rather, she had grieved about it before. Perhaps it has been sad many times.

Russell believes that this is not the first time that Mr. Otter has made such and such complaints. There are more than 200 researchers engaged in the research of "synthetic humans". And they opened a private tavern here where they can only drink dull wine, and they can see their daily sorrow.

According to his perception of Mr. Otter's heart... I am afraid that even if there is no such thing as "dust gap" and "monkey-faced eagle", his heart may have endured to the point of collapse.

- "Nirvana" once or twice a year, the researchers are probably the ones who hurt the most.

As he himself said, even if he has a dog for more than ten years, he should have feelings.

Get along with these innocent and innocent children on weekdays, watch them grow and teach them knowledge from scratch.

The purity, cuteness and sensibility of these children can easily heal the tired hearts of adults and make them truly love these "children" created and raised by themselves.

And the incomparably real human nature displayed by the synthesized people can make people realize deeply—these are all constructed from parts from the beginning to the end, without brains, intestines and stomachs, hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys, just a layer of cover Artificial muscles and artificial skin, the young son who only looks the same as a human being... is more like a real person than those "humans" full of animal nature.

The researchers of the mind heavy industry are not the kind of wise men who can coldly ignore all "research materials" in science fiction.

They are not the kind of pure researchers who can dedicate humanity in order to be able to study; they are not the kind of evil scientists in "Paradise" who ignore ethics and morality and only want to show off their talents. Most of them are just ordinary people who receive a monthly salary from Shenzhi Heavy Industry's research institute because "they are good at 'research' work".

After spending fifteen years with these synthetics day and night, feelings will naturally arise.

After having a relationship, you have to watch them reset their personality every year or half a year.

Although it still retains the knowledge of the past and all the memories.

But that polite smile and alienated eyes will constantly remind them... This is already another person completely different from the previous child.

It's like raising a dog, and then it was lost by the parents... In order not to make themselves sad, the parents bought the exact same one back.

Holding a pet that is exactly the same as that in your arms, seeing it is the same as the pet you loved in the past, feeling its struggle and fear, you will feel a kind of alienation from the world—there is indeed something, from Fundamentally it has become completely different. It cannot be felt with eyes, ears, or touch.

It is the difference of "heart".

From that period on, children understand the boundaries between true and false in advance.

I know that similar things cannot be used to replace the trauma in my heart, no matter how similar it is, it is indeed not the thing I love; just like the so-called "meal replacement" and "substitute", they can never replace the real loved one.

…After that, wait until these researchers finally let go of their psychological burden. After meeting and getting acquainted with the newborn Bubble-2 again, and becoming new friends again.

When I woke up one morning, her smile became polite and distant again, like looking at a familiar stranger.

—She shed her old personality shell again and became the "third bubble" that carried the memories of the first two bubbles.

And such a cycle has been repeated thirty times on Bubble alone.

"Feeling my own powerlessness, questioning the meaning of my work... Realizing that what I cherish is right in front of me, but because I lack talent, I can't do anything... I can only watch the train of fate drive inexorably. Another way."

Russell sighed: "He is indeed tired."

Only then did he finally fully forgive Mr. Otter's attempt to calculate himself, and his inhuman crime research to create these synthetic humans.

After all, it really has nothing to do with the fat Mr. Otter.

This poor fat house researcher is only obeying orders... The one who really wants to make himself a rubber stamp should be his immediate boss; and the one who wants to make these synths is Shenzhi Heavy Industry, the board of directors, It is the Cyber ​​Church. They can't wait to get more mature technology, so they can even use their lives to pile up a large number of "losers" to try and make mistakes.

Mr. Otter never had a choice. There would be other people without him, and he couldn't change anything; it was as if he could only stay here, watching these children continue to "nirvana" during the past fifteen years, but he still couldn't find a way to stop it all.

Because their technology itself has flaws, and even their thinking has gone wrong. Now that the plan is abolished, it is obviously related to their incompetence~www.readwn.com~ Rather, they are unable to refute the order issued by the board of directors to "abolish the synthetic human plan", precisely because they really can't come up with a solution" Nirvana" problem approach—

If this problem cannot be solved, synthetic human technology will always be incomplete.

Watching Mr. Otter's whimper gradually become softer, Bubble-30 looked down at him tenderly.

The prosthetic eye she used was not precise, it could even be said to be cheap. It is far less advanced than the beautifying prosthetic eye used by Xiao Liuli, and it has no complicated functions. But from the cold prosthetic eyes, there is an intellectual and loving radiance belonging to students, daughters, lovers and motherhood.

That is by no means a complex love beyond morality that humans can have.

"My first nirvana was half a year after the birth of 'Bubble'..."

Bubble-30 finally spoke, and whispered to Russell the past that she would never forget.
