Chapter 786 Crossing the Boundary of Life

The Sixth Era, 1283, the Year of Echoes.

The Federation's singer, 'Styx Yinghua' Jian Xiner, disappeared unexpectedly during the conflict. The official did not give a detailed explanation of the specific process of the conflict. It was only said that the singer was dissatisfied with the Federation's policy and took confrontational measures, which eventually led to a large number of deaths and injuries in underground buildings due to building collapse.

However, this is only the official statement. The local population of the Black Lion Star Region said that they saw a strange and illusory crown. On the day of the incident, many people also said that they heard the singer's singing in their dreams and saw many acquaintances who had passed away.

Of course, this statement is only circulated locally. For the Federation as a whole, it is like a small splash of water that quickly disappeared.

For most residents of the Federation, now is a time of full swing. Since Pulin unified the Federation, drastic changes in various industries have caused many giant companies to fall and disintegrate, but it has also given more opportunities for the bottom to rise. Many construction projects also require a large number of people and resources, which makes the economy and resources of the entire society in a state of high-speed circulation and continuous appreciation.

In such a state of intense excitement, the slight pain was quickly forgiven and ignored by the public, and then they focused on where to work, settle down and the future.

...

Time passed without noticing, and another five years passed.

Sigma Mechanical Council, T-2831's residential planet.

"Today is the wedding celebration of the two newlyweds. Let us congratulate and wish them happiness in the future life~" The traditional and exciting congratulations were read out by the host, and then the two walked out side by side amid applause and expectant eyes.

"To be honest, the combination of human and mechanical life, no matter how many times I see this form, it feels a little unreal." A guest who was applauding talked to a friend.

"Who said it wasn't? When we followed Princess Tilan, we didn't expect this kind of life."

"The difference between human and mechanical life is not only in the composition of the physical body, but also in the ethical and philosophical differences. No matter what, such a marriage is an extremely bold and risky attempt."

"No one knows how things will turn out in the end. Now we can only see what kind of life these pioneers will usher in."

After that, the applause stopped, and the two newlyweds stood completely on the stage. The man was still a little restrained and uneasy. After all, he would never dream of such a wedding being so bizarre before, but now, he has figured it out and made enough psychological preparations.

"Are you still nervous, Ling?" The newlywed wife beside him was wearing a beautiful wedding dress. The two held hands and whispered in his ear.

"Yes, a little." Ling took a deep breath, and his eyes were a little afraid to look at Valerian beside him.

As a high-level mechanical life, Valerian's physical appearance is almost the same as that of humans, with white and soft skin, similar weight and even the same body temperature, making it difficult to distinguish. Moreover, as a partner, the other party's personality is a bit too good, and he can constantly fine-tune his daily posture and small movements according to Ling's wishes and preferences. In such a special and targeted situation, Ling's fall is actually only a matter of time.

Ling is of course aware of Valerian's changes over the years, from the somewhat cold boss at the beginning to the gentle wife with a little temptation and teasing now, making it increasingly difficult for him to ignore the sight beside him.

The rational defense line that he had insisted on in the past was gradually broken by instinct and sensibility. He began to understand the brother next door and began to plan for his future life, such as what kind of house they would live in after they were together, what style of furniture they would buy, and what happy and pleasant things they would do on weekdays.

It turns out that in some ways, mechanical life is more suitable as a partner than ordinary humans.

There are no obvious flaws in their appearance, they are always young and beautiful. They can slowly change their behavior according to your habits and personality, so that the lives of two people fit perfectly. They can always care about everything about you, and your status is like a background process that she always keeps on hanging, and she will not ignore it.

In addition, mechanical life has no impulse or need to cheat. For them, this is really useless and incomprehensible behavior, which will only interfere with the existing task process. In terms of loyalty, mechanical life makes people feel extremely at ease.

Since you have such a partner who perfectly meets your aesthetics, lives in the same frequency as you, gets along well with you, and never betrays you, what else do you need to worry about?

"Having said that, there are still many ethical and philosophical issues." A guest at the scene discussed in a low voice.

"If we regard mechanical life as a human of equal status, can she become a mother? If she becomes a mother, then the human being as a child must recognize the mechanical life as a mother and accept the other party's jurisdiction and teaching."

"In addition, after the death of her partner, what should she do? Should she be allowed to remarry or must she remain single until the end of her life, etc."

"The morality of human society cannot be completely imposed on mechanical life. These still require society to constantly adapt."

"However, it is foreseeable that in the future, most humans will choose mechanical life as their life partner, because compared with ordinary humans, mechanical life has too many advantages, and morality and ethics alone can no longer constrain and hinder it."

As the wedding oath was taken, the noisy voices below gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes focused on the stage.

"Please exchange the life rings now." The host announced.

Then a pair of special silver rings floated between the two people. The two rings can connect to each other, allowing the other half to sense the situation of the other half at any time. The life ring has a certain ability to constrain the personality logic code of the mechanical life, making it impossible to make large-scale changes, and whenever the personality is fine-tuned to a certain extent, the partner can also sense it.

This function is to prevent certain accidents from causing the mechanical life to suddenly change its temperament, and to ensure that the mechanical life as a partner has a stable and safe personality.

Ling picked up one of the silver rose leaf rings and carefully put it on the other person. As the ring was embedded, the silver lines spread along the other person's body, turning into a kind of data partition and defense measure, embedded in Valerian's personality code.

"Well, is this the feeling of a contract being established?" Valerian closed his eyes and felt it, then opened his expectant blue eyes.

She picked up another ring and put it on Ling, and then waves of silver lines spread across Ling's body, allowing Valerian to sense his physical condition.

"Ling stayed up late again last night. Can't you sleep?" She smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, and her eyes were filled with endless joy.

Has this day finally come? She wrapped her arms around the other person's body, slowly hugged him, and wanted to give him a kiss.

"Too dazzling~" The audience in the audience couldn't stand watching the two kissing.

"We are still single and can't stand watching these loving scenes."

Then, the wedding march sounded again, and the whole scene turned into a sea of ​​joy.

————————

Sigma Mechanical Council, the main brain matrix S-85.

This is a magnificent building standing in the center of the city. It looks like a flat hexagonal flying saucer, supported by a volcanic base, overlooking the entire area.

128th floor, outer lobby, here is on the side of the hexagonal flying saucer shape, the side of the hall is dark gold transparent metal glass, you can see the sky and the earth, the other side is a wide corridor, occasionally there are a few simple rectangular resting places.

Tilan and Xia Lan walked side by side in the corridor, they occasionally stopped to look at the scenery, and then talked about the exchanges over the years.

"Now there are many humans who marry mechanical life." Xia Lan looked at Tilan with a little pride, talking about the recent situation.

"Yes." Tilan did not refute, but felt that Xia Lan's innocent and romantic personality as a mastermind was very interesting.

"Now the marriage situation in the Federation is not so good." She was not completely ignorant of the situation in the Federation, and she could often learn about it through the Aijiaka network.

"Maybe it's because humans now don't need marriage so much." Xia Lan also analyzed thoughtfully.

"In ancient times, living alone would face many risks. In addition, biological instincts also require reproduction, so the marriage system was born."

"People living in cities do not face life and death crises every day. In addition, the convenience of various conditions has greatly reduced the cost of living alone, so even if you live alone, you can be relaxed and happy."

"If it were in ancient times, just cooking would take a lot of time. Two people in a family cooking together can save the most time and energy."

"Otherwise, you have to prepare a lot of dry firewood every day and light a fire, which will take a lot of time and energy."

"In addition, many self-disciplined units can also do things like taking care of the sick, and it is not necessary for the offspring to fill the gap."

"The only problem left is loneliness." Tilan sighed.

"Humans are born with a desire for understanding and recognition, and they also hope to have the company of their own kind. In addition, their own kind also have the function of correcting themselves. Without the reflection and comparison like a mirror, it is difficult for people to discover the differences and differences in themselves."

The two talked about the possible forms of marriage for humans in the future, and then the topic slowly shifted to another area.

"There has been great progress in the technology of changing form through extraordinary power." Xia Lan began to talk.

"Tilan should have seen the gray-feathered species among the new races. They have a certain ability to change their morphology. They can sleep for a long time through hibernation behavior, and can also use this to repair their own limb defects." "

In addition, the electric marrow species' ability to communicate with electrical signals has also been successfully reproduced in experiments."

"This is a very special invention that allows humans to directly use electrical signals to communicate information, just like mechanical life."

"If this technology matures, it can greatly enhance the capabilities of civilized individuals and further narrow the gap between humans and mechanical life."

"However, according to the current experimental results, if high-intensity thinking activities are carried out, the heat dissipation of the human brain may not be enough, and it is necessary to improve one's own extraordinary level to provide hardware conditions." "

The spirit sequence does a good job in this area. They use the extraordinary core as a central processing unit and solve many computing problems."

"In addition, the problem of the illusion eye species having seven-color vision that you mentioned, Tilan, we are also studying now. In fact, this is an extremely powerful ability, even surpassing our mechanical life in the field of observing the world." Xia Lan said as she lightly lifted her long hair with her fingers, her eyes fixed on the land in the distance.

"Mechanical life forms use more light and shadow observation, and some special mysterious perceptions, as well as the perception of 'artistic conception' created by the collaboration of multiple senses, which is much worse than that of humans."

Tilan did not blindly deny the new races of the Fifth Epoch. You can say that the Dark Sun has taken the wrong path, but the birth of these new races also pinned on the exploration of the future form of mankind at the end of the Fourth Epoch. They all have their own strengths, which enables humans to gain a stronger advantage in the vast universe.

'If we can integrate and summarize their advantages, it will also make the future path of mankind wider. '

In the early days of Earth's creatures, they could only live in a specific environment, such as a small range of just the right temperature, humidity, nutrition, pH, etc., and as the creatures continue to evolve, the range of environments they can adapt to is also expanding. Although there are various external tools to assist, the fragility of human beings still limits the application of many technologies.

Ordinary people who have not practiced the extraordinary sequence can reach the critical point at most ten gravitational accelerations, while the speed of aircraft is getting faster and faster, and the demand for physical conditions for high-level battles will become higher and higher.

The improvement of the social system has an upper limit and ceiling after all. If a stronger foundation and conditions are not created, magnificent buildings cannot be built on it. Tilan came to the Sigma Mechanical Council to communicate and negotiate with them to discuss the foundation changes of human civilization.

"As for our Mechanical Council, what we want is the possibility of switching between human and mechanical life." Xia Lan leaned lightly on the guardrail, overlooking the city below.

"We cannot find the reason and support for our existence in the empty universe, but humans have it. If one day mechanical life can be transformed into consciousness flowing in flesh and blood, even if this transformation has certain damage and changes, we can also get rid of the state of castles in the air and get in touch with the most solid earth, and transform into a truly complete civilization."

"When the desire for life is born, the power of all operations will be generated continuously."

The two stood side by side quietly, thinking about the foreseeable scenes in the future.

"But." Xia Lan changed her voice and looked at the black-haired girl beside her.

"If Tilan wants to promote it in the Federation, it will be quite difficult. First of all, gene editing violates the Federation Constitution. There are also various other ongoing projects that break the order left by Isanissa." "

And according to your idea, in the future civilization, the status of singing girls will also be greatly reduced, and only those with special talents will be left."

"Yes, isn't that good?" Tilan stretched out her finger and touched the space in front of her. Then a circle formed, and the cool summer breeze from the outside sky overflowed from it.

"Just relying on and waiting."

"When will humans become their own heroes?"

The warm breeze blew, and the girl's face and hair blended into the blue sky background behind her.
