So the memories you have now are actually the memories of that indigenous person. You have to understand that you have been on your hard drive for more than a dozen millennia, and the atoms that made up that indigenous person are probably no longer retrievable.
After hearing this, Lin Hai couldn't breathe for a long time. It turned out that he was also a man-made person, oh no, a clone, which sounded only slightly more advanced than a robot.
"So that person is also called Lin Hai?"
"That's not the case. We usually don't use the names of indigenous people directly, but there is some connection. I checked the archives, which are a bit incomplete. It seems that the indigenous person who provided the genes was called X Hailin, so we named you Lin Hai..."
"And then?"
"What later?"
"Didn't the Empire continue to pay attention to that native? As far as I remember, I was unemployed and traveled through time. What happened to that native?"
"Oh, you're talking about this."
Director Li smiled nonchalantly and said, "Who cares about a native? But if you want to know, I can check it for you."
Director Li's finger stopped tapping in the air. "Oh, his fate was simple. After being laid off, he turned to writing novels, but no one read them. If your memory isn't damaged, you'll remember the Empire once studied a similar case. Large numbers of indigenous people wanted to be writers, but the probability of them becoming self-sufficient writers was far lower than their chances of success in other careers. Of course, this person was a little different. He died of depression a year after providing his genes."
Director Li said: "It is relatively happy, compared with those unemployed indigenous people in the same period."
"Why? Because the novel he wrote was finally recognized?"
"Oh, no, of course not. It's just that he died early, so he didn't have to take many detours."
"But Director, what about my memory? Why can't I remember anything about what happened before?"
"The situation was urgent. As a clone, your memory data was too vast. We simply couldn't download it to the hard drive quickly enough. So I decided to only keep the memories of the gene donor for you. The rest of the data will be stored. When you return, we'll download your previous memories into your body."
Lin Hai was shocked when he heard this. How could this memory be manipulated like this? This wasn't science fiction anymore, it was fantasy, right?
"Then when can you help me download this memory? You know, I don't remember anything right now, it's really a bit troublesome..."
Upon hearing this, Director Li couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "Well... weren't we at war at the time?... You know, ion cannons don't have eyes... Didn't one of them just happen to damage the hard drive? I just said that."
"Hmm?"
"Think about it, why did such an advanced ion cannon only damage the hard drive? It should have been completely destroyed."
Lin Hai: "What do you mean?" (I thought, "Oh my god, but I have a bad feeling.")
"That's because the ion cannon penetrated the battleship's armor and first hit the hard drive containing your memories... The hard drive was completely destroyed, and nothing can be saved... But it's a hero's hard drive, and your memories are also the memories of heroes. They saved all the natives..."
Lin Hai didn't know whether the hard drive could be a hero. He only knew that if what Director Li said was true, he still didn't know what kind of hard drive could withstand the ion cannon, but it was true that his memory could not be recovered.
"But if I didn't have my previous memories, I would always think of myself as a time traveler... Although I understand what you're saying, you know, my understanding and adaptability are largely related to my past experiences, that is, my memories..."
Director Li smiled and said, "You should know that it's impossible for a human to travel through time and space, and even for a soul to travel back... With this kind of technology, why would you still be a native? The Empire will treat you like a treasure."
"Yeah yeah."
Lin Hai nodded unconsciously.
"As for your memories, we're already searching for information as quickly as possible and asking friends who knew you back then to help recall them. We'll do our best to compile a list for you. Don't worry, while some personal matters may be difficult to find without archived records, your savings, real estate, relationships, and mortgages... these will be easily recovered."
"Mortgage loans, it turns out you can't avoid them anywhere..."
"What did you say I didn't hear clearly?"
"Nothing, I just want to ask the director, what should we do next?"
"Next is your arrangement. Because you saved this crisis and prevented the Empire from falling into a public opinion crisis due to its inability to protect the indigenous people, as a reward, you have two choices. The first is to retain your rank of 15A, but you can be transferred to the Empire Sector Management and Operations Center. I found you an office position, which can guarantee..."
Director Li's voice suddenly dropped, and he leaned forward closer to Lin Hai, saying mysteriously, "I promise you'll have nothing to do. Two cups of tea a day is like a full day's work. You'll have long vacations, high benefits, and year-end bonuses based on your full performance. I'll cancel your android status and give you a human position. That way, as long as the Empire exists, you'll never be unemployed..."
After listening to it, Lin Hai nodded and said, "Yes, it's really great, everyone wants it."
"Then is my rank enough to match a secretary like that? Well, if a secretary isn't enough, a nurse will be fine."
Lin Hai also turned back mysteriously.
"That won't work. After all, you're only level 15. You know, 15A is also level 15. You have to know that level 15 and level 16 are a huge gap in job levels, and many people can't cross it in their lifetime. Look, I'm already level 18, and I can only get a secretary..."
