Chapter 51 Night City (5) (3-in-1) [VIP]

The Central Tower is not actually in the center of Night City.

If you look down from Night City, you will find that the Central Tower is actually in the northeast of the entire city. As for why it is called the Central Tower, Shi Zhou said it is because this is the central line of the entire city, and all facilities and intercity planning are built starting from the Central Tower.

There is no concept of day and night in Night City, nor is there an 8-hour workday. People in companies work day and night, tirelessly creating maximum value in their short lives.

But the exploration team needed a rest.

After about eight hours of rest, the group decided to go to the central tower where Isaac was going.

"According to the rules we have discovered so far, 80% of the humanoid creatures in Night City are clones and biological people," Shi Zhou said as he walked. "I have said before that clones are those who work inside the company, and in contrast, biological people are those who are in the central tower."

No longer having to hide from the guards, Shi Zhou walked openly on the streets of Night City for the first time.

Unlike the small paths she was used to walking on, the large streets in Night City were very spacious, with robots delivering supplements coming and going. The guards who would have chased her madly upon seeing her before now walked past her, ignoring her as a wanted person.

The comments also relaxed after a long time:

[After investing in this project for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen the streets of Night City. ]

[+1, I haven't had such a leisurely time before. I can see the streets of Night City a few times occasionally, and the exploration team members run like there are dogs chasing them.]

[…Aren’t there dogs chasing after them? Generally speaking, if a team member runs onto the street, there will definitely be a bunch of guards chasing after him.]

[I didn’t think so before, but now I think about it, what kind of roads did Shizhou Jie take before? Alleys between buildings, abandoned pipes, crooked gaps, and dead ends that required climbing over walls. Some walls were so dirty that you couldn’t even see their original color. It’s a pity they could still find those roads.]

[Not talking about the company people and others, Night City is still developing well. If there are still people alive, it would probably be what human ground technology would look like after it reached its peak. ]

[Why is ground technology pushed to the top? ]

[Because at this point, we have reached the limit of what we can do on Earth. If we want to develop further, we will have to move into space like Isaac's civilization.]

On the screen, Shi Zhou was pointing to a spire not far away: "That's the central tower, the central movement line of the entire Night City."

"It is said that the Central Tower was built in the early days of Night City, and the people working in it have never experienced replication. They are biological people who have been in Night City since its establishment," Shi Zhou gestured for everyone to look away. "In fact, 'Central Tower', 'Replicants' and 'Biological People' are all terms we unified for the convenience of communication rules. We call them biological people to distinguish them from those company people who need to be replicated. There is no name to refer to them in Night City."

"Then they have lived in the central tower for a long time?" Guan Hongyan asked with her arms folded, "If the company people don't know something, can we just capture them and interrogate them?"

She always thinks in such a direct way.

"I haven't tried it," Shi Zhou shook his head. "I said, we can't stay in there for long. Although the central tower looks like a tower, it's actually very large inside. It's more like an assembly line workshop that's always running and moving forward."

She pointed at the supplement-delivering robots above her head and said, "The only thing we have discovered now is that we can follow their route into the central tower, but there are so many supplement robots on the road inside that once you enter, you can only be carried forward and there is no chance to leave. You can't explore at all."

Guan Hongyan: "Then how do you know that the central control AI's super... what server is under the central tower?"

"Supercomputing cluster server." Bai Jinshu added.

"What supercomputer server?" Guan Hongyan twitched her lips. "Forget it. It's just that server. You can't leave the road. How do you know it's down there?"

"That was seen by someone's fixed attribute before," Shi Zhou explained, "His fixed attribute is similar to tracing back to the source. At that time, he went to trace the source of the central control AI, and the fixed attribute gave him two directions, one of which was the central tower."

"What about the other one?" Guan Hongyan asked.

"The other one... is a place we can't find a way to enter right now," Shi Zhou frowned. "It seems that no robot can enter that place, including the supplement robot. All the roads leading there are dead ends. We have tried many times, but we can't get in. That place seems to be isolated from the entire Night City."

Guan Hongyan: "Have you tried to go to the server cluster under the central tower?"

"Yes, many times," Shi Zhou answered smoothly, as if he had known they would ask this kind of question. "Do you remember what I said before, that someone replaced three programmers with a junior miracle and wanted to start with AI, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"That person went down there," Shi Zhou said. "His fixed attribute can free him from the shackles of the flesh and allow his spirit to temporarily leave his body. He said there was a machine running non-stop, with no operability. He tried to change the program, but he couldn't find any buttons to press, nor any interfaces for him to access. Those machines seemed to coordinate the operation of the entire Night City, and they were flashing very regularly. So, based on other people's previous exploration of the source of AI, we speculated that there was a supercomputing cluster server of the Central Control AI."

"We went there a few times later. I didn't go in, but everyone who went in said that there were really no buttons or keyboards that could be operated in there." She paused and looked at Isaac. "It was not until I met Isaac this time that I realized that when civilization develops to a certain level, it no longer needs interfaces."

The civilizations they were born in were lower than those of Night City, so it was no wonder that they gained nothing in it and could not find the core rules.

This is the upper limit of vision determined at birth. Just like the ancient people thousands of years ago could not imagine the principles of the computers and mobile phones used by modern people, they could not imagine how the AI ​​in Night City operates.

"Yes," Bai Jinshu responded lightly, "Not only does it not require an interface, but the computer is also likely to develop a branch line for mental connection. All operations are realized after the mental connection, and no external hardware is required at all."

He didn't know how advanced the AI ​​in Night City had been, but it couldn't be more advanced than Isaac's civilization. Otherwise, this copy shouldn't be a cybercity but a space outpost.

"It's in front of us," the men walked and talked. The number of robots around them increased significantly, and the passage above was almost filled with robots delivering supplements. Shi Zhou quickly explained, "Since the routes inside are so interconnected, we are likely to be separated. So if you find that your teammates are missing, don't worry. Just follow the supplement robots around you and you can get out. We won't be chased and killed now, so it doesn't matter if we get separated. Contact us through the temporary channel after you get out, and I'll come find you."

"Take this," Bai Jinshu suddenly took something out of his pocket and stuffed one into everyone's hands. "Take this in your hand. If you see something that is inconvenient for you to pass through but looks like a road that leads to the cluster server, put it in there."

"What is this?" Lu Changfeng took the small metal ball and curiously held it in his hand to observe it. "There is also a logo on it... What does this shape mean?"

The ball was polished to be extremely smooth, and it was obvious that it was very expensive. A very complicated pattern was carved on the surface of the ball with light force, and I don’t know what it means.

"That is one of the symbols of the Human Alliance," Bai Jinshu glanced at the ball in his hand and explained briefly, "This ball contains my spiritual consciousness. If you throw it into the server cluster, I will try to initiate links in all directions and access the central control AI network."

"Just this ball will do?" Lu Changfeng was surprised, "We don't even need to make contact this time?"

He saw with his own eyes that his brother Isaac captured a robot in that alley, and then he hacked into the central control AI database and changed their identity information.

Is there no need for contact this time?

"No need," Bai Jinshu shook his head slightly, "I left a backdoor in the data of the central control AI, which can be accessed mentally."

This is Isaac's operating habit. When his synchronization rate is high, he will subconsciously perform the same subconscious habits as the other party.

"Will it be troublesome if this is lost?" Li Jue was a little worried.

This small ball didn't look like an ordinary thing at all. He weighed it in his hand and even suspected that it was some special metal. He didn't know if this special metal existed on Earth at present, but he had never seen it before.

"No," Bai Jinshu glanced at the ball that he was holding in his hand like it was a treasure, "I have a lot."

"Then, can we communicate with you, Brother Isaac, through this?" Zhang Pei raised his hand.

"Strictly speaking, no, because I haven't opened the local area network communication between the split consciousnesses," he said, "I haven't set up a base station here yet."

"What if it's not strict?" Guan Hongyan was curious.

"If it's not strict, I can be the base station myself," Isaac curled his lips, "but what's the use? This ball has no speakers and no radio port."

So it can neither hear what these people are saying nor tell them anything.

Seeing that Guan Hongyan didn't understand what he was saying, Bai Jinshu said compassionately, "The speaker port is too low-level. This kind of communication method of split consciousness usually starts with a mental connection."

Guan Hongyan: ...

She swore she saw a hint of mockery in Isaac's eyes.

Isn’t it amazing to be from an interstellar society?

It's really amazing in Night City...

She took several deep breaths in despair, feeling completely useless in both the previous and this project, and was being carried away by her teammates.

Not to mention She Mochu's attitude of "don't observe or think", Isaac's attitude of "why are you all so backward and it's so difficult to talk to you" really made her frustrated.

In order to regain her confidence as a high-end team member, she must form a team of modern people who have no special abilities and are not from high-tech civilization next time.

Well, teammates like Lu Changfeng are very good.

Guan Hongyan patted Lu Changfeng's shoulder with difficulty amid the flood of machinery.

Lu Changfeng who is studying the small ball:?

He met Sister Yan's gaze as if asking for her opinion, and said excitedly, "I understand. Sister Yan, you also think Brother Isaac is cool, right?!"

What split consciousness, what yourself is the base station, what mental communication, it's so cool!

This not only matched his imagination of the future, it exceeded his imagination!

Lu Changfeng felt that he must have the chance to ask Isaac whether they had space Gundams in their interstellar age, the kind in "Pacific Rim" would be fine. If there were, could he see a photo of it? He would die without regrets.

Guan Hongyan: ...

She felt that Lu Changfeng didn't seem to understand.

Lu Changfeng even began to feel that he was born at the wrong time.

Why didn't he live in the interstellar era thousands of years later! Can everyone in the human federation be so cool?

However, the barrage has seen through everything:

[I said...]

[This little ball...]

[Isaac, you’re not pretending anymore, are you…]

[Fuck, what are those people up there talking about? Speak human language!]

[I mean, is there a possibility? I mean maybe...]

[In fact, the human spirit body cannot be cut? 】

[Ah? ? ? Can't it be cut? I'm behind in the plane, so I'll say it first, what will happen if I cut it? ]

[You will go crazy. The human spirit body is the second body of consciousness besides the physical body. If you cut off your arms and legs, you are disabled. If you lose a part of your spirit body, you are also disabled. Physical disability seriously affects your life, and serious mental disability will make you crazy.]

[It's not possible to cut off the spirit body, let alone split the consciousness. If you cut off your left leg alone, can it still walk on its own? Of course not. If it walks, it will be a horror story, right?! If you cut off the spirit body, and the cut parts can still communicate, this is equivalent to the horror story in the example above.]

【What about Isaac???】

[Or is there a possibility, I mean a possibility...]

【Isn’t Isaac actually a human?】

【What is he then? 】

【“Quote: Hmm… How can it not be? Don’t you think it’s more like artificial intelligence than artificial intelligence?” Wake up, everyone. Look at this. Only artificial intelligence can achieve split consciousness and control itself as a base station! 】

【ah? ? ? 】

The barrage was drowned out by a barrage of question marks.

Amid the overwhelming question marks, in some vague images that could be seen on the screen, the six people who entered the central tower were indeed dispersed.

What Shi Zhou said was not an exaggeration at all. The further you go along this route, the more you are swept forward by the mechanical torrent. If you must use some easier-to-understand metaphors to explain your current situation, Lu Changfeng would like to call it squeezing on Guangzhou Metro Line 3 during rush hour.

There is a feeling of being helpless and feeling like you might die in the next second.

He felt as if he even heard the familiar station announcement in a trance.

Even in this situation, Brother Isaac still thought that they could find an opportunity to throw that little ball, which was simply because he had too much confidence in them.

Lu Changfeng even doubted whether he could get out alive.

It's rare to find a sense of home in an unknown space.

Lu Changfeng held on to his last breath, spotted a seam that looked like a passage downwards, quickly stuffed the small ball in, and then continued to be pushed forward involuntarily.

When he came out and saw the miserable conditions of the others, he knew that the torture they had endured must have been no less severe than his own.

Moreover, rather than saying that the Central Tower is the center of the entire Night City, it is better to say that the roads inside it are the transportation hub of the entire Night City. For some reason, those supplement robots with fixed routes have to pass through here, making the entire passage extremely crowded.

Amid the chaos of the team members, Lu Changfeng looked around: "Where is Brother Isaac?"

They have all come out, why is Isaac not here yet?

“I don’t know,” Shi Zhou shook his head, “I came out and picked you up according to the coordinates you provided in the group chat. Isaac didn’t say anything in the temporary group chat.”

"He may have his own way to get in. Just because we can't do it doesn't mean he can't," Guan Hongyan frowned and looked at the central tower that had just appeared not far away, "Did you all get the little ball in?"

"It's plugged in." Everyone nodded.

I don't know if it worked or not, but everyone found an opportunity to stuff the ball into a place other than the passage.

"I asked in the group, but he didn't reply," Shi Zhou sent a message in the temporary group chat. He didn't get a response from Isaac, so he had to sit cross-legged on the ground, "Lu Changfeng and Hongyan, you two were the last to get separated from him. Did Isaac say anything to you?"

"Brother Isaac..." Lu Changfeng touched the tip of his nose, "I asked him what he could do after connecting to the mental network. Brother Isaac said he wanted to try to communicate with the central control AI. If the conversation went well, he could take control of Night City. That was all."

Guan Hongyan had a speechless look on her face and did not add anything to Lu Changfeng's words.

In fact, what Isaac said was a hundred times more exaggerated than this.

Lu Changfeng asked in shock: "Can we still communicate like this? What if it doesn't go well?"

"Well," Isaac seemed to be thinking about something, and answered a little late, "If things don't go smoothly, just rob. I once used this method to capture a stellar civilization. I destroyed all of the opponent's counterattacks without consuming any resources, and directly paralyzed the opponent's civilization for 24 hours."

Guan Hongyan silently complained: "What you said... I always felt that you were not a good person before."

"From the perspective of other civilizations, that's true," Isaac glanced at her, "but from the perspective of humans and the universe, this is a very small battle, and it doesn't consume any resources, and it doesn't cause any casualties. I think this is much more peaceful than other methods."

Space war is a fight between you and me, but at least this is better than an interstellar orbital gun battle, right?

Guan Hongyan: ...

Although you can say that, isn't that a bit too villainous? Is the "peace" in your interstellar era really the same as the "peace" now?

The barrage is so collapsed:

[What kind of programmer can actively manipulate a war on a stellar scale! Sister Yaner, wake up! Open your eyes and look at the world! ]

[…Lu Changfeng seemed to be completely immersed in the story of his brother Isaac’s omnipotence.]

[Wake up, both of you! Look up at Isaac! There was even a strange light flashing in his eyes. He is no longer pretending! ]

【What is that strange light? 】

[It may be the reflection of Isaac's eyes or the imager of other cameras... Our technology has not reached their level, so it's just a guess.]

[To be honest, it's not their fault. Who would have thought that their teammates were not human? ]

[Why do you discriminate against artificial intelligence? The fact that Isaac was able to join the foundation and received an offer shows that his thinking ability is infinitely close to that of humans, otherwise it would be impossible for his obsession to be captured by the foundation.]

[It is such an injustice. How dare I discriminate against artificial intelligence? It is good enough that artificial intelligence Isaac does not discriminate against me. I am at most an artificial retard. ]

【Grass. 】

【……】

[Sincerity is the ultimate weapon. 】

At this time, Bai Jinshu, who was often mentioned by the exploration team members, was walking in the central tower.

Or rather, floating in the central tower.

He forcibly changed his form of existence, avoided being swept away by the mechanical torrent, and arrived at the server cluster that Guan Hongyan mentioned.

Guan Hongyan’s guess was correct, he did have a way to enter the central tower.

The small ball he gave to Lu Changfeng and the others did not contain a simple spiritual consciousness. Although that thing did contain spiritual consciousness at the beginning, strictly speaking, there can only be one "Isaac" in the unknown space now. Humans cannot divide spiritual bodies. Unless his synchronization rate reaches 100% and he becomes an artificial intelligence, he cannot divide his own spirit.

So if you have to say, those things are more like copies of Isaac, copies of artificial intelligence.

As long as one of the five people can get it near the server, he can sense the location of the sphere, thereby transferring part of his thoughts to it and remotely controlling it to open the link.

The only drawback is that the synchronization rate required to do this is also very high.

Of course, he is a real human being, not an artificial intelligence. Isaac can do multiple things in parallel, but he can't. Human thinking is limited. To do two or three things in parallel, you need to go through some training. He can't even draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand. Controlling two consciousnesses is too advanced for him as an earthling.

His undergraduate major was acting, not computer science.

If he wants to invade Night City’s central control AI on a technical level, he can only solve the problem by increasing the synchronization rate.

Moreover, Isaac is not like She Mochu. He cannot maintain the synchronization rate at a certain gradient by absorbing the other party's emotions. Even when Isaac's emotions fluctuate the most, he remains very calm. If the synchronization rate is too high, he may really become an artificial intelligence without realizing it, and can never return to his body in the real world.

He has no plans to stop being a human being at the moment.

Bai Jinshu roughly felt the current degree of synchronization. It is still around 50% at the moment. He wondered how high it would reach after connecting to the opponent's AI.

While his rationality had not yet been overwhelmed by Isaac, Bai Jinshu quickly observed the layout inside the central tower. The internal layout of the central tower actually did not look like a tower, and it would be more appropriate to describe it as a transit factory.

It is roughly divided into several modules, and one of the reasons these municipal machines that refill supplements must pass through here is that they need to be recharged here.

That's a bit strange.

Looking out from the route the supplement machines were taking, although they were all painted in the same style, there were some differences between the individuals. Some were more red, while others were grayish and darker, as if the bright paint had been worn off over time.

You can't see it when you look at them individually from the outside, but when they are all put together, the difference in color becomes particularly obvious.

Or maybe it’s not caused by wear and tear, but different batches.

The red used in each batch of red paint is not the same color.

These supplement robots follow a fixed route into the central tower, recharge themselves inside the tower, and then continue delivering supplements in circles along the fixed route.

What's even stranger is yet to come. Bai Jinshu tried to connect to Night City's AI. The internal program of this AI gave him a very strange feeling, a weird sense of familiarity, as if he had been here before. However, Bai Jinshu was sure that neither Isaac nor he had ever come into contact with such a city-coordinating AI.

Unlike Isaac's previous experience, Bai Jinshu found the AI ​​unusually dull after connecting to it this time. He tried to communicate with it, but the other party did not respond.

Everything it did was to maintain the daily operation of Night City. Apart from that, it did not have any independent thinking, and did not even respond to Bai Jinshu's arrival.

This is an AI with a dead program. It has no independent consciousness and is just an empty shell.

Moreover, Bai Jinshu's access was incredibly smooth. This AI was not designed to prevent intrusion from other programs from the beginning, as if the designer was very confident that he would not encounter a similar situation in the future.

This is too weird. How could such an intelligent system that can coordinate the operation of the entire city not have a firewall? Apart from the verification required when accessing the database from other people's machines, there is no need to access the main body at all.

Even Isaac had never encountered such a situation.

It was as strange as if he kicked open the door of someone else's yard, ready to fight ten people, and then found out that the family had moved away eight hundred years ago, and you can walk around however you want inside, and no one will come out to stop you.

Not to mention that strange feeling of familiarity kept lingering in his heart, making him feel as if the door he kicked open was not someone else's, but his own.

Bai Jinshu tried to increase the synchronization rate again, and felt that the world in front of him changed instantly, and the data flow in his eyes became clearer and clearer.

Bai Jinshu stopped here cautiously. At this moment, the mission panel of the Foundation on his wrist flashed a few times, and a message popped up: [Isaac, have you entered the central tower? ]

Bai Jinshu frowned. This was a message from Shi Zhou.

He flipped it up and saw the coordinates sent out by the remaining four people, which meant that the five people except him had already left here.

Bai Jinshu thought for a moment and said, "Lu Changfeng, come in for a moment."

It stands to reason that an artificial intelligence cannot be without any external defense system. He suspected that the data of the central control AI had been damaged. He wondered whether the "injury" in Lu Changfeng's fixed attribute of "can't bear to see others get hurt" could include the damage of artificial intelligence data.

[Huh?] Lu Changfeng's speech bubble flashed in the group chat, and then quickly withdrew.

【Brother Isaac, how can I get in? 】

There is a mechanical torrent of machines inside. Once he goes in, he will be swept away and have nowhere to stand.

Indeed, Lu Changfeng could not come in, and even if he came in, he would not be able to access Night City’s AI.

Bai Jinshu frowned, closed the task panel, and glanced at the database of Night City's central control AI.

No matter how abnormal it was, he still had to go in and take a look, at least to see what was inside. Even if this central control AI was an empty shell AI, there were still some clues inside.

If it doesn't work, he can summon Huaijiamu in advance as a backup.

The central control AI is divided into 46 data warehouses. Bai Jinshu entered through the connection port of the white robot he had captured before and found that it was the database of all humans and machines in Night City.

All the information of everyone is recorded in it, including their own, as well as those of the company people outside and the robots that are hunting them.

Bai Jinshu had previously prevented the exploration team members from being tracked by changing their identity IDs into registered robot IDs.

But unlike what he had seen from the robot's connection before, this place that recorded everyone's information was actually an extremely large database. He tried to retrieve Shi Ting's information from it, Xc-12 Sp1354, and the number that came out was marked with a very small number 4.

Other people's information is also marked with these strange numbers.

The numbers marked on the backs of the scavengers were specifically in the range of 0-18, while the numbers on the backs of the guard machines he caught were between 0-14. The supplement robots were also included, but they were not connected to the central control AI, and the numbers on the backs were blank.

There were also hundreds or thousands of company numbers that he had never seen before. There was a group of numbers with extremely uniform codes behind them of more than 10,000, which was the largest number among all the codes.

What do these numbers represent?

If Shi Zhou had not told him before that Shi Ting only had six days to live, Bai Jinshu might still be confused about what these numbers meant. But since Shi Ting only had six days to live and the number behind her was 4, it would be hard not to make associations in this direction.

Does it represent the time of survival? Time of death?

For those numbers with only single digits and tens digits, the survival time is too short and the death time is too fast.

If it is the time of death, it means that those company people and machines with single-digit numbers will not live long and will die or be scrapped and be copied and manufactured again.

And if it is the time of birth, according to the statement that biological humans have existed since the establishment of Night City, this place has only been established for twenty or thirty years.

Since entering this project, no one has seen a family-based living and kinship model. All humans seem to be cloned by machines. Company people are replaced in batches when their service life expires, and robots are also scrapped in batches when they reach the end of their service life. The only things that exist forever in Night City are the central tower that has existed since ancient times and these shining server clusters.

Compared to Xc-12 Sp1354, which has attracted much attention because of its face of Shi Ting, the other robots look almost the same. Before Isaac changed everyone's ID to protect them from attacks, they all had an attitude of killing all the exploration team members, so no one had noticed before that the numbers of these robots were constantly advancing.

Where they are produced and where they go after they are scrapped are questions that Shi Zhou is not clear about.

Bai Jinshu thought about it and felt that the best approach for now was to let Night City continue to develop, and then they would investigate further.

If there are other civilizations behind the operation of Night City, it is not a good choice to suddenly take over all control, limit the flow or cut off the Internet, abruptly interrupt the normal operation of Night City, and lure them out from behind the scenes.

Rather than being an exploration, this behavior is more like turning the table over.

Their goal is to unlock the last rule here. If they disrupt the normal operation of Night City before they have thoroughly studied it, causing other civilizations to come and directly destroy Night City, or launch an attack on them, then these clues that disappeared with the attack may never be solved again.

Suddenly, Bai Jinshu, who was still thinking in the database, suddenly felt something touching his arm.

What's going on?

He is now completely digitized. Apart from the central control AI in Night City, which is also digitized, nothing else can touch his hands.

Has this AI shell, or the civilization behind it, finally slowed down and discovered the invader?

Bai Jinshu, who had already made up his mind not to confront the opponent head-on, quickly copied all the information in the database and decided to disconnect the link.

He withdrew from the access and opened his eyes, which had turned completely bright blue.

Data streams surged in it, and the jagged structure slowly turned. Bai Jinshu opened his eyes and successfully saw that among the server clusters flashing with regular light, another self was looking at him solemnly.

Bai Jinshu’s first reaction was that this was the small ball he gave away.

The second reaction was that it was not right, this was his copy.

Did the replica appear directly next to the original like this? He originally thought that it was a wrong replica created by grabbing some wrong information from a factory that made replicants in Night City?

Shi Zhou said, "If there is no communication, even team members cannot tell whether the other party is their teammate or not." This means that the clone does not have the same memory and personality as the original.

He subconsciously stretched out a hand, wanting to connect with the other party and take a look at what was happening with the clone opposite.

Bai Jinshu: ...wait a minute.

Why was his first reaction to contact the other party to see what was going on?

When a normal human sees his or her own clone and wants to get information from it, why is the first reaction not to communicate but to connect?

His brain suddenly stopped and cold sweat broke out on his back.

While he was analyzing the code in the central control AI's database, his synchronization rate had quietly increased to a dangerous critical point.

He was almost completely assimilated.

Compared to Skao's reappearance of the dead as the synchronization rate increased rapidly, and Shemochu's physical changes as the synchronization rate increased rapidly, Isaac's synchronization rate increased silently.

He didn't even notice anything was wrong!

In the past, the increase in synchronization rate would bring him more emotions, making him subconsciously think that as long as his emotions were stable, nothing would happen. However, Isaac's emotional division was too much about calmness, which made him unable to react for a while, and he would even naturally move closer to this range in order to analyze clues.

Isaac is such a dangerous existence.

He disguised himself as a humane and emotional person, and deceived everyone step by step with such sincerity and honesty.

When looking at an AI that was once a human, who would think, in addition to feeling a sense of familiarity, that it is actually no different from those cold machines before?

Isaac is no longer a human being. He is just a modified machine that has all the memories and human circuits of an Alliance citizen.

Mechanical Ascension is not a scam, but the Supreme Omnic is.

Bai Jinshu suddenly came back to his senses from Isaac's past, and his interface had already been connected to the nerves of the clone on the opposite side.

This is when his tool is used.

Fortunately, he was well prepared. Before entering the central control AI, he had already brewed the emotions required for Huai Jiamu's descent in his mind.

A very familiar face flashed across Isaac's cold data eyes.

The bright, shimmering blue gradually dimmed, and his eyes returned to their original pure black.

The hand that was connected to the other party's spiritual sea, after thinking for a while, pulled out a piece of data from its own body awkwardly, rubbed it, and shook it, and finally gave up on modifying and carving it.

"Data Rose." As soon as Huai Jiamu opened his eyes, he saw a strange-shaped data.

"The terrestrial plants of the Rosaceae family and genus Rosa are the eternal symbols of love, beauty, and equality*," Bai Jinshu blinked, "Generally speaking, humans will give these flowers to the ones they like."

But he is not human.

Now, he can only be considered artificial intelligence.

"Take it, I'll give you flowers."

The author has something to say:

Brother Jiamu: Really? Do roses really look like this?

Severely clumsy metal player (without conscience): Really

After being reminded by the comments, I suddenly remembered that today is World Hate Coriander Day. Let us wish Sister Yan a happy holiday!

Why do you all guess the central control AI? The central control AI is a separate thing. The Narcissus script is delicious.

*Ahaha, Baidu again. He is even willing to check Baidu for metals. He really makes me cry.
