Xiling Empire

Harlan had a lot of work to do, so he quit us at the entrance of the research center to handle the affairs of the independent regiment. Finally, Sandor and I brought the abyss spirit to Tavel. First The reason why the station is a research institute rather than a headquarters is because we have to first check the large box brought by the abyss spirit.

This is a matter of "just in case". Although Abyss Hei Ling broke the news and made everyone faint, but we haven't been completely flickered by her words. After all, in the field of Huyou I consider myself to be a leader, and I have no other talent. I am proud of the immovable mentality when the sky is falling, although now I have connected the Abyss Spirit to the Shadow City, but some necessary reviews and restrictions are essential. These restrictions will not be easy. The strictest conditions will even be like imprisonment, but it is pleasant that Abyss appears to understand these. She said that all restrictions can be handled with ease.

In fact, it ’s normal to think about it. The highest limit we put on her in Shadow City is just to keep her communication terminal here from contacting other people casually. This guy ’s body is in the abyss. There is certainly no comment on the limitations of the interface.

This is Tavier ’s private research room. Abyss Sing is sitting honestly on the scanning platform in the center of the room with her large box next to her, while the glasses lady is curiously analyzing the structure of the black box. . Because it was a professional field that the layman couldn't talk about, the atmosphere at the scene seemed dull, and Sandora and I were both doing nothing, except that Tavel was full of interest-whether it was seeing the abyss or the box, her glasses There will be a flash of light on it, and I firmly believe that the glasses are her body. So this guy sees the new research object and now the whole person is shining.

"You're quite cooperative," I tried to talk to Abyss Hilling in the middle of boredom. "I thought the highest commander in the abyss zone was a little bit more or less a bit, at least to make you complain when you stood on the scanning platform. Correct."

"Shelf? I don't understand," Abyss's expression was indifferent. "And I don't think that" commander-in-chief "is a special identity. The empire has no humiliation. There are only parts. I rule the abyss region just because I have this task. The nodes obey my rule just because they have this task. Now I want to Cooperate with you. It is also because I have this task. I know you, do n’t you often go to the front line or even fight in person when necessary? Are you an emperor but a soldier, do you feel awkward? ? "

"Uh ... you have a more real character ..." I asked Abyss Hei Ling to speak without knowing how to proceed, "Well, what you said makes sense. Don't mind ha, I was born and raised on Earth. For more than ten years, this idea is still in the transition period. Do n’t talk about this, just talk about your box. As far as I know, you ca n’t talk to me directly, because your nodes will be purified, then you The next time I came to contact us because of the help from this box? What kind of black technology is this? "

Abyss Spirit patted his box: "In fact, there is not much complexity. First of all, the protective barrier of the box uses some technologies and materials from the other side. Although the technology from the other side will mostly fail on this side, it is only for the abyss. The protection can be reverse engineered. If you are interested, I can share it. Secondly, in addition to the communication array, there is a set of virtual node generators in the box. It is easy to understand: manufacturing virtual nodes, through deception The protocol allows them to be loaded into the network for a short time, which is equivalent to an extra group of ghost apostles that do not exist. The task of these nodes is to be purified by you, then deleted, and then create new virtual nodes ... It is enough to solve three technical difficulties. The first is the calculation speed of the virtual node generator. To keep up with the consumption, the second is how to make the virtual node survive for a certain time, and the third is how to disguise these nodes without entities and let them Mounted on the network without touching the protocol. The third point caused me a long headache. For example, if you ca n’t hold your hair to lift yourself up. I ca n’t break the protocol while complying with the protocol, so I did n’t get it until the recent network fragmentation: during the network fragmentation, some security protocols were broken, and they were splitting. There are a lot of vacant nodes on the chain, which gives my virtual nodes a chance and a place to plug in-and then this device you see, although not durable, I was safe until it broke. "

"Is that a physical firewall?" I can still understand these things. "You are deliberately trying to prevent being purified by me ... but I don't understand. What's so bad about being purified? Even me I think you are not the same as the ordinary fallen apostles. Your thinking mode is obviously very logical, and your plans are organized ... you don't seem to be controlled by the abyss ... wait, it is wrong! You It looks like it's not polluted at all! "

I only suddenly reacted at this time. The sense of disobedience that I felt in my contact with the abyss was originally from here: the other party's methodical thinking, calm attitude, and completely self-controlling logic. These characteristics add It only reminds one thing: this is obviously the result of purification.

And she has two of the most unexplained behavioral characteristics:

First, she stopped the destruction of the world of order consciously, or from the beginning her destruction of the world of order was not the result of being controlled by the abyss. She stole the heart of the world and caused the end of the world in the process. It looks like an abyss, but her fundamental purpose is only to weaken the Void Cataclysm! In other words, she has an orderly motive, which is completely different from the behavior model of the abyss infected person: the destruction of the abyss infected person is uncontrolled and unmotivated!

The second and most important point: she self-excluded the errors and frantic parts of her network, that is, the great division in the abyss area-it is absolutely impossible for an abyss infected person to consciously "treat" himself because of being infected by the abyss The most prominent feature of the is the collapse, the constant collapse of itself, and the constant collapse of everything around it, but the abyss Hei Ling ... has the ability to take measures to prevent himself from being collapsed. You can even "detoxify" yourself by suicide and reorganization!

The expressions on Sandora's face and I were no longer calm, except that Tavier was still immersed in work. I looked into Abyss's eyes, trying to see what was going on in her logic from the other side's eyes: "Are you infected or not?"

"Do you really ask this ..." Abyss Helling frowned. "Then tell you the truth: I am indeed polluted, but not the same as an ordinary infected person. I am in balance and I can maintain it Your own balance. "

I suddenly thought of 70,000 years ago: "Is it because of that" neutralization "that year?"

"Well," Abyss Spirit nodded, "'neutralization' protected my will and kept my mind under my control, but at the same time changed or destroyed my code of conduct-it was like lifting all shackles The same. I am unconstrained in carrying out any destructive actions, and I have not resisted in the face of the abyss, sober and sinking ... describe this in terms that you can understand in the real world. But I do n’t think What ’s so bad about this is that you have to know that the only way to weaken the Void Cataclysm is to build a bridge, and the only bridge solution currently available requires huge upfront sacrifices. If I ’m not polluted, then whether it ’s the original Empire or the Protoss, It ’s impossible to start this plan, and 'justice and order' will become your obstacle, and eventually all civilizations in this season will miss out. I am very grateful for this pollution, it made me crazy, so I can do what you guys do. Things that can't be handled. Probably this is the arrangement of the void ... I don't believe in the real world about 'fate', but I believe the void Technology is its own arrangements. Since Cataclysm will produce, will naturally weaken or end, but I just was selected to become the executor responsible for deviant it. "

"So you do everything you can to avoid being purified," I finally understood the other party's thoughts, "because once you are purified, your 'mission' cannot be performed."

In order to weaken the Great Cataclysm in the Void, she could not become a "good man"-for such a nonsense reason.

"It's not all that," Abyss' spirit sounded a little uncertain for the first time. "Maybe I also have concerns ... This involves a very abstract question: the current" I ". It is based on The "I" on the basis of all the abyss nodes. If all nodes are purified or changed to anything, then the combination of these nodes is still not the original "I"? Even though I still existed at that time, my thoughts, logic, and goals Will the willpower still be as it is now? Your purification first acts on the specific polluters, and only after these polluters wake up will they act on the network composed of them. And I am a cluster that was assembled only in the final link. Consciousness, so what will happen in the process, no one is sure, I ca n’t take this risk, at least I ca n’t take any risks until the great cause is completed. I must maintain my current status until the great cause is completed-at that time if you I have the ability to recognize it, but it is not unacceptable to purify, after all, the empire has survived, and I have nothing to do with life or death. influence."

The words of the abyss Hei Ling made me unable to bear myself in deep thought, and then somehow thought of a very classic philosophical question: The Ship of Theseus.

The Ship of Theseus is a ship that has been sailing for hundreds of years. Every piece of wood and its parts can be replaced. During the centuries of sailing, the wood has always rotted and the parts are worn. Therefore, the components on this ship were replaced by one. The land is replaced. After such a long voyage, no one part of the ship is a part of it, and 100% of the entire ship's components have been replaced. So, is this ship still a Ship of Theseus?

The situation of Abyss Schilling is obviously very different from this ship, but one thing is similar: she is a cluster consciousness composed of a large number of "components", and these components can be easily rewritten for me.

If the entire group of fallen apostles is purified, will the upper consciousness composed of their network nodes be simply purified, or will it be completely rewritten into a completely new existence?

"Your concerns are justified," Sandora sighed. "But you must understand that we will not let the fallen apostles continue to operate. Even if your great cause can save the void, your fallen apostles army is definitely not a stability factor. You should know that you have limited control over them, and now you have a new army. The second and third will appear, and you will not have the upper hand every time. The abyss is never a stable thing. : It will get out of control someday. "

"I myself didn't expect to keep peace with you forever, but this is the future," Abyss blinked. "Even after the great cause is realized, we have a lot to do. We will consider these when the dust is settled. I admit it The polluters are apt to get out of control, but their infection status is ... forget it, there will always be a way. "

It seems that it can only be so. I temporarily set aside this complicated question and talked about my next plan: "Next I will contact Starfield, and may even call the Huron Protoss. You better prepare Just look at the speeches, your pile of tortuous theories is too frustrating. "

Abyss's spirit flickered a few times: "Actually they are very well understood, but you, you, you, you are not very good at long ..."

I suddenly said, "Aunt, don't be scary! What's wrong?"

Abyss Healing raised his finger to Tavel: "Don't leave that red-red thing, it's my resonance hair generator. Although it's a bit bigger than the normal life generator, but ... "

Tavel snapped back the resonance generator in the box. Abyss's spirit's voice was normal all of a sudden: "But in fact it is just a resonance device. This device is not assembled in accordance with standard regulations, forgive me."

"Did you get it?" I looked up and asked Tavel.

"The inspection is complete, no problem," Tavel nodded. "Subordinates have installed monitoring devices in this device."

Then she turned to Abyss: "Just added a scrambled antenna under your resonance generator. In an emergency, it will freeze the activity of this interactive interface you are currently using. Hope you can understand. In addition. You Reading anything here without my or His Majesty's authorization will trigger an alert, and I hope you understand. "

"It doesn't matter, I originally expected the situation would be even worse. Then the physical examination was finished, and a lot of nonsense was also said. What's the next step? Is your Schilling Technician in charge of the deep diving project?"

I nodded: "Well, you can call her Tavel, this is my best scientist, give her the pile of wreckage you brought, and your pile of models. I hope you do n’t want to Leave the military zone and wait until I talk to the Protoss before deciding what to do next. "

Abyss Spirit nodded. As soon as Sandora and I were about to turn around to leave, the door of the research room suddenly opened, and a short blonde girl looked at it with a probe. My first reaction was that I didn't know the person in front of me. Two eyes saw the blonde girl hanging a small silver-white sign on her chest ...

Okay. Should it be expected or unexpected ... The spirit may have a feeling for the abyss, and she ran.

I beckoned to the soft girl He Ling who was hesitant at the door, and the latter immediately ran to me and Sandora happily, and then looked at the Abyss He Ling and the big box with a curious look: "I Knowing who you are, I can feel it ... but why are you here? "

"Solve some problems," Abyss Healing also curiously looked at this "half-body" that split out 70,000 years ago. "You seem to have retained the original complete structure. Good, I do n’t know that I have become Something. "

"You don't destroy my network, and I will not destroy you," said Xi Ling sternly. "This is for your goodness. The power of Her Majesty pervades my nodes. If you contact it rashly, you will be rewritten. . "

I looked at the consciousness of these two homogeneous clusters, and I felt that fate was a wonderful thing: how should these two be calculated? Sisters to each other? Shadows of each other? Or has it become two unconnected individuals after the "rift" was blocked? No matter what kind of statement makes sense, and after 70,000 years of evolution and self-rewriting, Abyss Spirit has become a weird life that she ca n’t even understand. When she saw it again, she still kept the original structure. What do you think in your heart?

Probably her one sentence explained all her moods: Good, I don't know what I have become.

"Would the two of you want to communicate?" I patted Schilling on the shoulder and looked at the Abyss Schilling. Since the cluster consciousness has no fixed form, these two homologous people really have no similarities in appearance, "Anyway, What you have in the real world is just an interactive interface, and this level of conversation will not be governed. Of course, direct Internet connection is definitely not working-I guess you don't intend to charge this thing yourself. "

Abyss Xi Ling stared at him with a serious expression, then waved weakly: "Forget it, I have time to say it later, I really don't know what to say to her ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ We have been separated for too long. It is so long that we can't understand each other's architecture. There is really no topic to talk about. "

"Me too," Hilling jumped back to me and Sandora briskly. "Just take a look. Now that I'm done, I'm going to buy some cake at Sylvia-Tavel, I'll give you two. Oh."

The voice fell, and the figure of Hilling had disappeared into a light curtain, leaving only Tavel to mumble to himself: "... I don't know when I can eat now."

Hilling has a very wonderful attribute, which is to go away. When she does one thing, she is easily attracted by other things, and then it takes a whole day to think about what she wants to do at first. This may be related to her. Not too accustomed to the "law of events" in the real world.

Anyway, I hope Tavel can continue to adapt to her roommate ...
