Crane's Ark of Tomorrow Daily

As he said that, the doctor pulled down his hood to block his eyes. His words revealed that he was extremely familiar with Li Ke.

"...What do you know?"

Li Ke had a vague premonition. If it makes sense to know that game, how did he know about reading the memory?

"I know far more than you think. This land has no secrets in my eyes." The doctor said, "Let go of unnecessary tension, I'm just chatting with you as a matter of routine."

"After I finish speaking, I will welcome the established ending this time with peace of mind."

"Back to the original question, do you think it is his memory, consciousness, personality, or illusory soul that determine a person's existence?"

Seeing that Li Ke didn't answer, and the doctor didn't care, he shrugged, and then continued to talk to himself.

"So, have you heard of the Ship of Theseus?"

The Ship of Theseus is a very famous philosophical issue that appears in various science fiction novels. As long as the paradox of 'identity change' is involved, this philosophical issue will inevitably be mentioned.

Just like what the doctor asked just now, what are the factors that determine a person himself?memory?consciousness?personality?Or soul?

"A ship that is constantly sailing on the ocean, whenever a part of the ship is aging, replace this part of the aging part, until the parts of the entire ship are replaced, the ship is still the same Is it?"

"Of course." Li Ke replied without thinking.

"So, if the replaced parts of this ship are reassembled into a ship, which of these two ships is the real ship of Theseus?"

Li Ke didn't know how to answer. He sensed something else from the doctor's question. It seemed to be talking about human cloning?It is also a difficult question whether the cloned person counts as the person himself.

"This kind of question is meaningless," Li Ke said, "Are you trying to say that the ancestors uploaded their consciousness and personality, and then resurrected themselves by cloning their bodies? If that is someone I know, as long as he gives My feeling is the same as before, that’s him, if it’s someone I don’t know, then what does it matter if he’s different from his previous self?”

Anyway, I don't know that person before.

Li Ke has always had only one answer to this tortured philosophical question, which is none of my business. As long as he has nothing to do with him, he will never think about such idle and boring questions. The solution is relatively simple.

The doctor seemed not at all surprised by Li Ke's answer, he nodded slowly, and then said, "If a person's memory, personality, and everything are all transferred to a super-high-performance computer, this computer It can also perfectly simulate the existence of this person, do you think this computer is that person?"

This time, Li Ke didn't answer at all, and swung an extremely cold sword energy in the direction of the doctor with his backhand.

It seems that the doctor's brain is really broken. Isn't asking this kind of question purely to make things difficult for others?Speaking of these issues, isn't there a clear definition in the laws of the ancestors?Li Ke doesn't have the memory of the middle period, so he doesn't know, but the technological level of the ancestors is already so advanced, and the prosthetic body should not be a strange thing.

The law should have clear regulations on this kind of thing. It’s okay to look at it according to the law. Why is the doctor struggling here?

When the extremely cold sword energy was less than a foot away from the doctor, it was offset by the flames from the spherical creature, which made Li Ke cheer up again.

Maybe the doctor himself doesn't have much strength, but the thing he stepped on is indeed a bit unusual. Up to now, Li Ke hasn't figured out what it is. Normal creatures don't grow into such a ball. It should be used by the doctor first. Something transformed by the technology of the people.

Li Ke faced a different situation this time than in the past. The doctor is a genuine ancestor, and he knows his situation very well. Li Ke can't guess what kind of means the doctor has.

Therefore, Li Ke did not rush forward recklessly at the first time, but stood still and tentatively attacked him with sword energy.

These attacks were blocked by the spherical creature.

The spherical creature was a mass of ooze that was constantly changing in shape, and it automatically made defensive actions without the doctor's order.

It is like flowing magma, exuding an extremely hot breath, and the cold air will be offset if it cannot be approached at all. The effect of ordinary sword energy is also greatly reduced. For this kind of fluid-like thing, the damage caused by chopping and piercing very limited.

Judging from the degree of understanding of him shown by the doctor just now, Li Ke has no doubt that this thing was specially made by the doctor for him.

"The correct answer is that when the person's consciousness is uploaded to the computer, the person is already dead." The hood blocked most of the doctor's face, making it impossible to see his current expression clearly.

"Memory, personality, and consciousness, these three elements are indispensable. Only when these three elements are perfectly reproduced can it be said that a complete resurrection."

"No matter which one of these three elements has a problem, what is resurrected will no longer be that person."

There are other deep meanings hidden in the doctor's words, but this is not important to Li Ke.

In Li Ke's view, these things don't have much real sense. Losing that memory means that Li Ke has never experienced those things, and unlike the doctor, he has no sign of recalling those memories.

"It's useless to talk too much."

After the trial was over, Li Ke had determined the approximate range of abilities of the spherical creature.

If it is only to the extent that it is shown, then it is not particularly troublesome to solve it. The only thing that confuses Li Ke is the doctor.

When Li Ke made a tentative attack, the spherical creature made a very violent reaction, but the doctor standing on it was not affected in any way, which made Li Ke wonder if it was just A holographic projection of the Doctor, the real Doctor is hidden elsewhere.

But in Li Ke's perception, the doctor is indeed standing there.

The doctor seemed to be completely unaware of Li Ke's plan, and still said to himself, "Pompeii, have you heard of this name? It was a huge city in ancient Rome, but suddenly one day, this city The city was wiped from the world by a volcanic eruption."

The doctor has a very strong desire to confide. Ever since he met Li Ke, he has been chattering endlessly, like a mental patient.

"This Originium worm grew up in the special environment of the volcano. I named it Pompeii, and it fits the name very well."

no?This thing is actually an origin stone worm?Take a closer look at that thing. From top to bottom, it doesn't look like a source stone worm?

After complaining silently in his heart, Li Ke's heart also fell silent.

Colors are peeling off from Li Ke's vision, and the whole world is gradually turning into black and white. In this colorless world, the passage of time becomes extremely slow. Li Ke is the only one in this world who can still act normally. of.

Li Ke walked in front of the doctor unhurriedly, and with only one sword, the creature named Originium Worm, which was actually a slime, was split in half from the middle.

Its powerful regenerative ability cannot be brought into play in this environment at all. This kind of creature generally has a core. After cutting it in half, Li Ke quickly found a crystal inside the thing, and put it Completely smashed into pieces.

After losing this last barrier, Li Ke finally saw the defenseless doctor.

Compared with the last time Li Ke saw the doctor, he didn't seem to have changed in any way, but his eyes... made Li Ke feel a little strange.

Obviously it's just a subtle change in the emotion contained in the eyes, but in the eyes of others, it's a completely different person. This feeling is really amazing.
