A Community with a Shared Future in a Multidimensional World

"... Well, it's not important. First of all, RO, what do you think of human beings? Do you think human beings have underlying settings?"

"Commander... this question... I really haven't thought about it, but I think there should be no underlying settings for human beings?"

However, Xiao Yun raised her fingers and shook her hands and head to deny RO's answer.

"RO, in fact, I personally think that human beings have a bottom-level setting, or that any creature has a 'bottom-level setting'. Human beings will follow the bottom-level setting from birth. When they are hungry, they will cry and seek food. When they are satisfied, they will be happy. .”

"Afterwards, as we grow older, according to the 'setting' of biological survival instincts, we will gradually be stimulated by the environment, and then step by step we will make 'emotions, sorrows and joys' based on the stimuli, and then to social morality, to various public order and good customs, and actually Above all, it is a process of 'domestication' that continuously causes 'stress response' through conditioned stimuli, in which various acquired settings aim at the innate survival instinct."

Hearing this, facing Xiao Yun's theory, RO opened his eyes slightly.

"I've never thought about it this way..."

"So, RO, I don't think it's important whether there is an underlying design. For example, can you deny my existence now? By the way, I never deny my own self-existence. My self-existence is a subjective existence. There is no need for objective cognition to confirm, whether there is anyone to objectively recognize me, I exist here."

"In the same way, RO, even if I deny your objective existence now, can your subjective existence disappear because of my objective denial? It is obviously impossible and impossible. Moreover, even if it is based on the observer interference theory of physics , the existence of M4 also indirectly verified a fact for us, that is, even if the reality is reversed to unknown through reverse collapse, all of us still remember M4, but according to the principle of reverse collapse, M4 at this time should be "unknown". And have you thought about what the problem is here?"

"...Commander...I can't think of it."

"It's time, because we all remember the former M4, so even if M4 has changed back to the superposition state through reverse collapse, in fact, we can remember the previous M4 based on the time we were together in the past. Then suppose that time is the problem here Core, what does time bring us?"

"...It's memory, Commander."

"Yes, it is memory. Liu Cixin, a famous science fiction writer in our country, wrote a sentence in his classic work "The Three-Body Problem" that I really like, 'Give time to civilization, not civilization to years', put it in each individual In fact, it is memory that gives us joys, sorrows, sorrows, and things that we need to cherish, so we can feel the peace and beauty of the years, rather than time giving us these things. This is the same in the so-called underlying design. If Without precious memories, time or the underlying design is meaningless."

"Give time to civilization, not to civilization..."

RO muttered this sentence thoughtfully, and Xiao Yun did not stop his long speech.

"Also, RO, in fact, from this perspective, the underlying design of each person may be more consistent than that of a human figure, but in the end, why is it that only human beings in the world can't find two people with exactly the same personality? It is because of memory that everyone will face For their own environment, everyone will be domesticated by the environment to develop a style that suits their own environment. Everyone also has their own precious memories because of their different environments. If you deny all this because of the underlying design, it will not only mean that you I am betraying everything I cherish, which also means denying my friends, family members, etc. who love you, care about you, and work hard for you. This goes back to what I asked you at the beginning, can you deny my objective existence? In the same way, can you deny this group of friends and family members?"

"...Thank you, Commander."

After a short period of silence, accompanied by the sound of thanks, the confusion in RO's eyes has also dissipated.

Seeing RO's changed appearance, Xiao Yun felt for the first time that it was useful to waste time blowing water with sand sculpture netizens on the Internet.

Then he raised his hand and touched RO's head.

"But RO, I have one more thing to say."

"?"

"The guy who came up with the three laws of robotics, I really want to kick his ass right now."

RO was taken aback for a moment, then laughed cheerfully.

After saying with a hearty laugh that all the stagnation was gone, RO regained his spirit.

"So what the hell is this all about, but I've watched the special video of Commander, do you have any recommendations?"

"Do you like action movies? Police and gangster movies?"

"Police Story? That series is pretty good, but I've seen it."

"No, it's this one."

Then Xiao Yun clicked on "Operation Mekong"...

The planting of this small seed made RO become the people's policeman of country H, and even won the Republic Medal for his meritorious service. In the end, he co-starred in a movie with Zhang Hanyu and Wu Jing. At this moment, RO and Xiao Rhyme, I don't know...

Section 19 Chapter 19 There is no god in the world, nor should there be a god.

Three days later, in Pascal's research room.

"RO, has something... happened to you recently?"

While checking the body of RO and doing daily maintenance, Pascal had a daily chat with RO.

"? What's wrong Pascal, is there anything unusual?"

The core of the RO that was disassembled gave out questions through the external speaker.

"...Uh, no, it's not negative, there may be some problems with my statement."

While staring at the various parameters on the monitor, Pascal continued to speak while typing on the keyboard.

"It's just that you seem to have become a little... more active in the past few days?"

"Have it?"

After pressing Enter, Pascal still didn't take his eyes off the screen, and picked up the coffee beside him with his backhand.

"I don't know how to describe it. You in the past feel more... subtle and mechanical? In recent days, it seems that you are more willing to express your emotions."

"…………"

"Moreover, from the system logs, the amount of abnormalities in your mental cloud map has dropped significantly."

"...Pascal, I think it may be because I am no longer confused."

"Ok?"

Pascal's gaze slightly left the monitor, glanced at RO's core, and then turned back.

"Can you tell me why?"

RO repeated the conversation with Xiao Yun that day with Pascal.

"...So, is it still Commander. 'Give time to civilization, not to civilization' Ah..."

After listening, Pascal fell into short thoughts.

"Yes, the commander inspired me a lot during the conversation that day."

"Looking" through the connected camera, Pascal was still thinking, while RO continued to tell his own opinion.

"Pascal, in fact, I have suspected that you told me that my bottom layer is not set to be false."

"And now, I don't doubt it anymore, or in other words, whether there is a setting or not, it is no longer important to me."

"The important thing is that I like humans, everyone in human form, the AR team, the commander, you and Miss Glenna, and all Griffin's colleagues; my memory, everything around me, is the most important thing. important."

After listening to RO's confession, Pascal put on a disappointed look.

"So I'm behind the commander..."

"Pa, Pascal?? I didn't mean that!"

"Hahaha... just a joke, RO, you are too serious."

Pascal gently stretched out his hand and stroked RO's core, as if he was stroking his own child.

"RO, in fact, it was risky not to set the underlying settings for you at the time."

"This door has never been opened before, and no one knows whether behind the opened door is a taboo that destroys mankind, or a bright road leading to 'Zion'."

"But now it looks like I'm lucky, RO, you are a good boy, and you were lucky enough to meet the commander."

"In our cruel world, it is not easy to cultivate a person with a basic conscience, not to mention that a doll without an underlying design will be a more pure and flawless existence than a human being."

"In this world, the more pure and flawless things are, the easier it is to be polluted by darkness, and the purer things will be degraded and darker than the original less pure things after they are polluted."

"So, RO, your existence may prove many things. If there is a god in this world, you may be God's salvation for mankind..."

"But, Pascal, the commander said that there is no god in this world, nor should there be a god..."

Faced with RO's complaints, Pascal was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed heartily.

"...Hahaha...Yes, I forgot, after all, Xiao Yun is such a person."

Although the contact time was only half a month, Pascal still understood Xiao Yun to some extent.

"Yes...he is right. There is no god in the world, and there should be no god. It's really his style..."

Not knowing what to think of, Pascal muttered softly.

…………

After a brief silence, Pascal began to check RO's body.

"RO, have you thought about what you want to do if you no longer need tactical dolls to fight in the future?"

"Be a policeman!"

The answer was almost immediate, and RO immediately answered Pascal's question.

"Being a police officer? Oh, I remember, you used to work in... did you like that job?"

"Yes! I like it very much! I once contacted a criminal suspect when I was a policeman. daughter's wedding."

"I promised him, but because I took him to his daughter's wedding, I caused my human colleagues to look for me for five hours under the scorching sun, and several human colleagues suffered from heat stroke."

While changing and dragging the arm of RO's body to confirm the state of the body, Pascal asked RO without looking back.

"Five hours? Weddings rarely take such a long time. What happened?"

"At the end of the wedding, we were all planning to leave, but the suspect's daughter came over, and the suspect immediately hid under the stool next to me."

"The suspect's daughter asked me if there was any news about her biological father. She applied for prison visits many times, but was rejected by her biological father."

"I lied to her that I didn't know this person, even though I don't even know why I lied..."

"...After that, she hoped that I would tell her biological father that she had forgiven him long ago, and hoped that he would live a happy life. If he had time, he would come back and see her."

Pascal was still doing final checks.

"and after."

"The suspect then cried, very hard, even though he refused to admit it to death."

"Then I didn't know what happened to me. I handed him the black headgear, and he put it on himself immediately."

"In the end, I returned to the police station with the suspect in the dripping black hood. By the time I got back to the police station, it was already evening."

"Until now, I don't quite understand why I agreed to take him to his daughter's wedding, help him lie to his daughter, and give him a hood..."

Faced with RO's gradual silence, Pascal smiled slightly and looked at the core of RO who was in a state of confusion.

"...So, RO, you are a good boy."

"?? Pa... Pascal?? Why did you say this suddenly?"

"It's nothing, there are a lot of things that don't need to be understood in such a hurry, RO just keep it like this."
