Starting from the other world, I joined the chat group at the same time

"Before the Old Testament, worshippers believed that God should rule over them like a strict father. Slaughtering sinners, destroying sinful cities, washing everything away with a flood - but with the beginning of the New Testament, all that changed."

"God used the rainbow after the flood as a promise and made a prophecy with mankind that there would be no more floods in the future. In the fictional story, mankind got rid of the omnipotent and caring Creator and began to try to control their own destiny. Under God, people began to worship the Son who gave people more freedom and love."

This is not the end. Xia Lang then narrated to 9S the story of Dayu controlling the flood and some other mythological stories.

Stories are a vehicle for conveying human cognition. They are not just an entertainment project. For humans, stories are the epitome of past civilizations.

He carries our history, and more importantly, our past cognition and thoughts about the world and all things.

Of course, ultimately their meaning is still conveyed and understood by the storyteller.

The story conveyed and understood by Xia Lang is undoubtedly a blessing and care for the future of artificial humans.

Xia Lang didn't know what the other androids would think, but 9S was listening very attentively and was fascinated.

"Our gods are created by us. They come from a time when humans were ignorant and fearful of and longing for all things in nature." Xia Lang finally summed up all this.

"And to you, perhaps I am such a real 'Creator', but I still believe that what happened to humans may also happen to you."

Is faith a completely bad thing?

No, it doesn't. Even in the more enlightened modern times, faith is always a mixed bag.

Because understanding the world is a painful process, using reason to clarify the principles of all things in the world and give answers is an act of torturing oneself.

There is nothing wrong with fragile human beings choosing to entrust everything to God and leaving the answers to all problems to God.

Of course, choosing to entrust the answer to an idol who can never give you an answer is essentially giving up thinking and giving up knowledge.

But you can’t use grand narratives to demand everyone. If collectivism turns to coercion, it will become the harshest authoritarian rule.

But no matter what, it is undeniable that with the gradual development of human society, illusory beliefs will eventually die out.

If humans in their cradles can walk out of the age of gods that rely on illusions, then why can’t artificial humans do the same?

"This is what I want from you, 9S. You love me, so I want to love you too."

Xia Lang said with a chuckle

"I am not a cruel God, and of course I am not a selfless and great person. Just as I don't want you to mistakenly think that I can do everything, I don't want you to give everything to me and leave it all to me."

Yes, Xia Lang could have treated the androids as his tools, as his puppets, and had the power of life and death, controlling them like a god.

But he didn't want to. As he said, as he came into contact with the androids, he felt their sincere respect and love for him.

This love and respect touched him and changed him, and he wanted to return this love -

Then let them move towards the future they deserve. Let children achieve true independence, which is also the ultimate love of being a parent.

9S left with a sense of accomplishment, and soon, a new visitor arrived under the shade of the tree.

Popola and Divara held Zou Lei's hand and stared at Xia Lang, their eyes full of timidity and desire.

Alas, an independent child left, and a pair of home-loving children who were unwilling to leave their parents came.

But it’s okay. Parents can love independent children and also love home-loving children.

"Come here, let's continue the story we left unfinished last time."

Xia Lang patted his side, and the two surprised sisters immediately sat over and carefully leaned on Xia Lang's shoulders, getting close to their most beloved human being and showing happy smiles.

"Where did we leave off last time? Oh, yes, the unfinished story of Juliet..."

The twins listened quietly to Xia Lang telling them the story of human past and everything about it. Did they really not know this story? No, they were just enjoying every moment with humans.

Bobo La and Diwo secretly looked at each other and smiled at each other. Their soft bodies moved closer to Xia Lang, feeling the human body temperature.

For Gemini, who have been tortured by mistakes that do not belong to them since their birth, there is no moment that can be happier than now.

They decided to hold the human who saved them in their arms until the end of humanity or their lives.

Xia Lang looked at the twins. How could he not feel their thoughts and dependence?

But just like he said, for parents, blessing their children to be independent is a great love. And tolerating them and accompanying them to the end is also the noble love of parents.

2B watched Xia Lang telling stories to Divala and Popola from afar, but remained silent as always.

“Is this what humans are like?”

Until 9S came closer, 2B said in a very complicated tone

She had never seen a human being, nor did she know what humans looked like. Perhaps her only understanding of humans was just the information from past images.

But according to Xia Lang, those materials called movies tend to be more idealized in their restoration of human beings.

After all, it is a fictional and logical story, but humans living in reality may not necessarily have the logic they think they do.

"I really like this kind of human. He makes me feel strange... but I like him very much." 9S smiled softly.

"Compared to the high and mighty human council that the commander created for us, people like this are perhaps more worthy of our respect and love."

Just as you love us, I love you too. The artificial humans who worship and rely on humans like children also deserve the love from humans like parents love their children.

Perhaps for most androids, asking for love from humans is a rebellious act, but 9S thinks it is very good.

Humans are not shackles. They do not have the chains that 9S once believed bound every other android.

He may still be the most admired object among the artificial humans, but he deserves this admiration and all the good things.

Love and respect are mutual, aren't they? If you give love and get it back, then the artificial people who return love will also respect and love the humans who created them even more.

2B was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, a faint smile of happiness flashing across her cold face.

Yes, she also loves such humans.

Volume 129: Xia Lang's Various Travels: Chapter 125 . [Neil] The Superiority of the Roundabout

rebel camp

Beep beep~beep beep~

Just as Xia Lang was holding Popola and Diwala to sleep, a voice in his head made him suddenly open his eyes.

He calmly got up from the bed, left the room quietly, and answered the call in a secluded place.

"Huandao, why did you contact me only now?" Xia Lang frowned and said

"Master, the situation is a little complicated. I have access to the network of this world, but it took me a long time to fully learn their logical operation formulas."

The sounds from the island were still as calm as ever, but this lack of emotion made Xia Lang feel more secure.

He raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully

"You mean, Huandao, the AI ​​program in this world is not an insurmountable problem for you?"

It’s not that Xia Lang looks down on Huandao, at least the technology tree of the AI ​​Girl’s World seems to be much lower than that of Neil.

What's more, even if the technology tree of the artificial humans in the NieR world has experienced the attack of aliens, it has been developed for more than 4,000 years. Logically speaking, Huandao should not be its opponent.

Wow...it seems that's not necessarily the case. After all, Xia Lang doesn't really know what the level of civilization is like in the world around the island.

"Oh, if you want to talk about advanced technology, their network attack and defense are not in the same system as mine. But from the aspect of electronic warfare, I have more experience."

Then, Huandao used professional terms to explain to Xia Lang the basis for his statement. Of course, Xia Lang didn't understand most of what he said.

But to sum up, the meaning of the roundabout is very simple.

The AI ​​technology in the NieR world seems to be booming and even incredibly grand, but in reality it is a real "castle in the air".

The booming development of their electronic technology is entirely based on the highly magical element of "magic element". It can be said that the technology of both artificial humans and mechanical life forms was born and built around this.

After all, magic element is not just magic power, but special particles that have the function of carrying and carrying consciousness. And it is based on these extremely special particles that humans can complete the transfer of consciousness and cognition of souls that humans in countless science fiction worlds cannot do.

The same is true for the AI ​​humans born in this world.

How to make AI develop the ability to judge itself and even develop human-like emotions is a problem that would take hundreds of years to solve according to normal scientific development on Earth. However, it was created ahead of time because of the convenient particle called magic element.

The omnipotent magic element can transfer souls, so it is naturally even easier to generate consciousness.

But taking shortcuts comes at a price.

Humans are completely unable to comprehend the principles of particles such as magic elements, cannot understand how magic elements manifest souls, and do not understand how they can bear consciousness.

Humans, who were already on the brink of extinction, didn't care about so many reasons and just used it roughly, completely ignoring the fact that they didn't understand this pure black box at all.

The products of this magic technology seriously lack basic theory and logic, and the fact that artificial humans have not been able to create any brilliant and powerful civilization in 10,000 years of development is enough to prove this. After all, artificial humans themselves cannot understand the essence of magic.

Many times, androids only use magic to create things and realize theories, without knowing the logic behind the creation of these things. Even the most advanced YoRHa troops today, their technology is basically copied from their enemies rather than being the innovation of androids.

Originally, the patch could be applied while humans were still alive, but now that humans have become extinct, this has become the biggest problem for Magic Element Technology.

No matter how magnificent and lofty a castle in the air is, it cannot conceal the fact that it is a dangerous building that may collapse at any time.

The same is true for mechanical life forms in this regard.

After all, the aliens created mechanical life forms based on the last magical weapon of humans that once fought against them, Emil, and Emil is both the soul of humans and a product of magic technology. So of course, all mechanical life forms are also products of magic technology.

And it was also because those unfortunate aliens themselves did not fully understand the relationship between magic element technology, and when they were finally counterattacked by the mechanical life forms, they did not even have the ability to resist and were all destroyed.

Without aliens, mechanical life forms would also be unable to make up for their own deficiencies.

Over the past thousands of years, the mechanical life forms that occupied at least half of the Earth have not only failed to develop technology, but have even regressed a lot.

Those large numbers of 'android robots' are almost all thousands of years old models, and their so-called large weapons such as Engels are simply the result of copying humans' past creations and then randomly stacking these elements together.

In short, this is a story about one group of castles in the air colliding with another group of castles in the air.

Therefore, Huandao is not afraid of these "fellows" who seem to be more high-tech than itself.

Because she is a perfect AI, an AI that is logical and seamless from the theoretical basis of her creation to the verification of every data in her implementation.

After invading the network of this world, she spent time learning and mastering the method of integrating into the magic element technology network, and then soon discovered that the level of these similar "network attack and defense" was frighteningly low.

Her kind of offensive and defensive battles were almost all limited to the most primitive DDOS attacks, overwhelming the other party with huge amounts of data, or being killed by the other party finding a loophole in their own firewall.

This is the fact that the mini-games projected into the game are primitive and crude cyber attacks.

Regardless of whether they are mechanical life forms or androids, they are completely ignorant of attacks such as electronic viruses and have no strategies to deal with them.

So it's no wonder that all the androids in the bunker were paralyzed by N2's simple logic virus...

The technology of these "peers" is too crude compared to Huandao, and their logic viruses are completely useless to Huandao.

The logic virus based on magic element and the salt disease that infected humans are actually based on the same principle. Only by using magic element, can the androids and machine life forms that are already alive to a certain extent be infected.

As for Huandao, she was pure AI, pure and cold data. Logic viruses were of no use to him.

"I can now hack into the local area network of this area at any time and implant Trojan viruses into all mechanical life forms for remote control." Huandao said softly.

"But I don't mind doing this, Master. I contacted you because I made a new discovery."

"A special signal unit has been retrieved from the forest area near you. These mechanical life forms are integrating their data into the server. I..."

"I know." Xia Lang interrupted Huandao's narration and squinted his eyes.

As expected, the roundabout is about 'Adam and Eve'.

This BOSS, which was born in the Forest Kingdom area of ​​the game, is actually a mechanical life form version of an artificial human, born from the integration of a large number of mechanical life forms' self-consciousness.

Because these mechanical life forms desire to obtain life and understand life, they try to imitate humans to complete the process of "reproduction" in their data calculations.

Driven by this idea, a large amount of converged data eventually formed an integrated unit, which is Adam and Eve in the story.

To some extent, they are a mechanical collective consciousness similar to N2 but completely different. Perhaps due to the desire for human reproduction, Adam and Eve were born without much malice.

However... the key issue now lies in how much "benefits" Xia Lang can gain from the existence of Adam and Eve.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said

"Roundabout, what do you mean?"

"There are very few network units on this planet that integrate so many mechanical life forms and are relatively independent." Huandao said softly.

"If you want to fight against the largest collective consciousness of these mechanical life forms, I will need this part of computing power."

The island is undoubtedly referring to N2, the final boss of the game. And it seems that even the virus of the island can't do anything to N2.

After all, apart from anything else, the sheer volume of data in N2 itself has already surpassed the technical level. Most of the mechanical life forms on this planet are N2 servers. With such a huge computing power, even a DDOS attack can paralyze the island!

If you want to deal with N2 in the future, even if you only have the basic negotiation qualifications with this guy, necessary action is inevitable.

"Well then, let's go now."

Xia Lang said firmly, let's get ready to go now

Anyway, his body has almost recovered, and the energy has been gradually replenished through self-circulation. Although there is a problem of affecting power to a certain extent, it doesn't matter...
