Chapter 255: Much Harder to Deceive Than the Princess
Chapter 255: Much Harder to Deceive Than the Princess
"Ellie, do you know that there are actually three stages of death?"
"Three?"
"Yes, there are three types: physical death, identity death, and amnesia."
The man explained.
Physiological death is the recognized standard of death, which means that all body functions cease.
The death of an identity means the end of roles and responsibilities, and you no longer need to bear anything.
Forgotten death refers to the memories and impressions of the deceased by others. When no one remembers the deceased, the deceased has truly become nothingness.
"You mean, people aren't really dead when they die?"
The robot blinked calmly: "As long as someone remembers, it can still be considered alive?"
"Master, this is a trick to fool children. From a scientific point of view, this conclusion is not valid."
Xu is dumb.
A smart robot servant is much harder to deceive than a princess who gnaws on chicken legs.
…
[Your life is still healthy, but under the threat of the neutron battle star, it is like a candle in the wind, swaying and rising, constantly hovering on the dangerous edge of extinction]
[You smile, not caring about your own life or death, and even less about the erosion of the machine soul]
【You just want to continue researching technology】
[It not only increases the gains from simulation, but also opens up a new way for Elly to make a living]
[You have pondered countless times, looking for every possible chance of survival, but unfortunately, the existence of the Neutron Battle Star is an abyss that you cannot cross, and you have no better solution.]
[The long-term resonance of the machine soul makes you gradually dull, and it is difficult for you to feel normal joy.]
[You control yourself, raise the corners of your mouth, and show an empty smile to Ailei. The smile is brilliant, and then fades.]
[Ailei said nothing, but held your hand tremblingly]
[She said this time, it's her turn to charge you]
[In your later life, you saw more emotional expressions from Ailei, who tried to infect your stiff body and mind with clumsy gestures]
…
You feel time passing faster
[Too slow thinking makes you like a real machine, and you have little sense of the passage of time]
[By the time you really start paying attention, time has already turned into flowing water, silently flowing out from your fingers and disappearing in the empty wind]
[Simulation of the 400th year, you are 419 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 397 years]
[With the update of technology and the development of materials, Airei's body has been upgraded. She appears in front of you in a more mature posture.]
It starts with illusion and blooms into reality.
The cold mechanical body presents human emotions.
Blown by the breeze, the hazy figure walked slowly until he stopped in front of Xu Xi.
It was a carefully crafted face.
It is also a real flower cultivated by the Xu family.
"You look very beautiful, Ailei." Perhaps that dull face finally showed a real smile after a long time. It was a shallow and gentle smile.
With his eyes half bent, he touched the mirror-like beauty with careful strength.
"…Thank you for the compliment."
The robot lowered its head and moved closer, allowing Xu Xi to touch her head with less effort.
The master's hands seemed a little cold.
…
[Simulation of the 401st year, you are 420 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 398 years]
【Aile has added a new service for you】
【Its name is, Daily Hand Warmer】
[You are confused about this, and the robot servant's answer is that warming your hands every day can speed up blood circulation.]
[Her expression is so serious that you almost believe it]
[Simulation of the 425th year, you are 444 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 422 years]
[The loyal servant thinks that your age this year is a very dangerous number. Therefore, some sacrifices are needed to help you eliminate disasters and solve problems.]
[Radiation storms from the stars and the moon bring destruction]
[Your robot servants launched an intelligent mechanical frenzy, destroying the Zerg in multiple planetary systems]
[You can't help but wonder if you have trained your servitors too brutally]
[Simulation of the 463rd year, you are 482 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 460 years]
[Neutron Battle Star is late, you have experienced your seventh death, and the intensified machine soul erosion has made you begin to ignore death]
[You almost didn't stop and started researching the warp drive again]
Time has been accelerated.
Xu is like a passenger on a train.
With an indifferent and mechanical perspective, I quietly look at the blurry scenery outside the window. Only when I want to see something, a part of it becomes clear.
This is a sign of a worsening of dullness.
Maybe it's not all bad. At least this kind of slowness can ignore the loneliness of the universe and the emptiness of time.
"Is this the seventh time..."
"So, there are three more deaths left, and the simulation will end."
"There are indeed errors in the neutron battle star. The frequency of the attack is not fixed for 100 years. It is likely related to the cage being too large."
"The starry sky is too vast. Even at superluminal speed, it is impossible to eliminate all targets instantly."
The cold and desolate space.
Dense space battleships cover the universe and protect the ecological starship in the center.
Inside the ship, Xu Xi, who was already 482 years old, sighed softly and thought about his next plan.
It's too difficult.
It's really too difficult.
It is really unrealistic to think that a superluminal curvature engine can be developed in just a few hundred years. So far, Xu Xi has only scratched the surface of the research.
"Compared to the extraordinary system, it focuses more on individual talents to challenge and overcome bottlenecks."
"The system of technology places more emphasis on the accumulation of time."
"I still have too little time...after all."
Xu Xi's eyes were closed, full of worry about the future.
The remaining three hundred years are like the countdown of the god of death, hanging high above your head, ready to strike at any time.
"At this point, we can only rely on Elle's observation ability and the Machine Soul's Pleasure entry."
"We don't expect to develop a complete curvature engine, but a prototype will suffice. With the amplification of the machine spirit, the performance can be forcibly improved."
"One boat will do."
"As long as there is a starship that can take Ellie away..."
Virtual artificial sunlight fell silently from above, brushing against Xu Xi's face.
Illuminating the closed eyelids and the indifferent face.
[You heard the final sound of time]
[True death is approaching you step by step]
[Feeling the urgency of time, you speed up your research, causing your already tired body to become haggard in the madness]
[Simulation of the 475th year, you are 494 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 472 years]
[You stopped all entertainment activities and no longer considered your physical and mental health. Your only goal was to develop a curvature engine as quickly as possible, even if it was just a defective prototype.]
[You feel your body has become "heavy"]
[Simulation of the 490th year, you are 509 years old, and Ailei has been with you for 487 years]
[Relying on your genetically modified body, you conduct experiments day and night until you reach the limit of your body and pass out passively.]
[When you wake up, you find yourself lying on the bed, covered with the quilt prepared by Ailei]
