"You're using me."
Wutou-23 said in a cold tone.
The third deep diving warehouse is only suitable for surface light zones, that is, deep diving salvage units from depth 1 to depth 3.
Therefore, generally speaking, the abyss wanderers who can dive and salvage here will only be adjusters at depths 1-3.
Only for a special mission like today, the company would approve a depth 4 adjuster like himself to accompany those rats on the dive.
However, the gatekeeper here is a being that even he finds very difficult to deal with.
In other words, this guy named Ye Qian...
"I am almost certain that some of the clues I need are in this warehouse, but I have never been able to find a reason to arrange a strong enough combat force to break through the guard's blockade... Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Ye Qian bowed down politely and thanked him.
But to Wutou-23, these words sounded like he was mocking himself.
Whether it was himself or his master, as well as the rats of Icarus who dived together on this trip, they were all tricked by this guy - he used this opportunity to help him clear the way into this place. Barriers between warehouses.
Wutou-23, who felt a little angry, opened the inlet of the vector injector and took a "deep breath" to calm down a little.
Then, in the tone of a battlefield interrogator, he said solemnly:
"You'd better make it clear first, about breaking through the limits of human intelligence in Deep Diving 7."
The limit of human intelligence...
As the depth of adjustment and transformation increases, no matter how determined a person is, their mental index will inevitably decline - after the body structure is completely changed, it is natural for the consciousness to change accordingly. This is an engineering problem and is not subject to human will.
However, for the current - and foreseeable future - human society will still be dominated by native people. Adjusters must maintain the framework of human consciousness and act with logic that the public can understand, in order to ensure that the entire concept of "humanity" can survive.
After all, runaway evolution is also a form of extinction.
Therefore, adjustment and transformation must be controlled to a degree that will not bring species extinction to human beings, which has become a general consensus after the Great Impact. At the same time, this is also one of the core concepts of the establishment of the Olympian Order.
At least that's what they advertise.
But in any case, according to calculations, adjusting and transforming to depth 7 is an absolute hurdle. No matter which upgrade path is taken, in theory, after crossing depth 7, they will no longer be able to maintain their consciousness as humans, but will become some kind of existence that humans cannot understand.
For this reason, Depth 7 is called the limit of human intelligence.
Theoretically, there shouldn't be any adjusters who have broken through depth 7 and still retain their self-awareness. However, the reality is not like this - those legendary adjusters who became household names because of the cyber war, all show their humanity like ordinary people, and they all have the same emotions and emotions as normal people. .
This is something completely unreasonable. How they do this has always been the biggest secret on the path to promotion.
"The secrets of Theseus' path that can break through Depth 7, or the clues leading to those secrets, are hidden in this database."
Ye Qian said this.
"continue."
Wu Tou-23 calmly urged him to continue.
Ye Qian continued:
"I accidentally discovered this database during a deep dive salvage operation five years ago. I didn't think much about it at first. I just thought I was lucky and found a database that reflected the real area in the base reality. database……"
This probability is roughly equivalent to winning twelve lottery tickets in a row.
As the person in charge of the Deep Dive Warehouse, Ye Qian secretly reserved the domain name of this database because of an accidental violation of the Deep Dive Warehouse's operating regulations. And in the subsequent deep dive salvage, he frequently asked his abyss wanderers to dive into this database to explore.
This is an extremely dangerous thing. There is a corresponding reason why the Abyss Wanderer needs to "roam" - long-term access to the same domain name will strengthen the connection between the two parties, which will make it easier for malicious programs existing in it to surface and invade. .
"At this point, the company rules and regulations you have violated are enough to beat you to the end."
Hearing this, Wutou-23 said in a cold tone.
In response, Ye Qian nodded and admitted readily, and then continued:
"So, I'm really lucky that you haven't discovered my little tricks over the years. But through this, I have salvaged quite a lot of information about the Road of Theseus in this resettlement area... You know , because he was blacklisted by the Anthroposophical Ethics Supervisory Committee, the information on the upgrade path, Theseus, will always be incomplete."
There is a reason why this upgrade path is called a dead end.
"But this is not... If you want to ask me what I have salvaged in the past, it goes without saying the list and printing permissions required for the different depths of adjustment and reconstruction of the Theseus Road. The biggest gain so far is a historical record - that year The three multi-purpose printers allocated by the coalition government for the construction and maintenance of the Nord settlement area are all the first batch of prototypes created by the super artificial intelligence Janus."
Hearing this, Wutou-23's "expression" finally became a little moved - the light from the infrared camera on his face gradually lit up like a breathing light.
"So what? There has never been any evidence that there are any differences between multi-purpose printers of the same model."
However, although the "eyes" brightened, Wutou-23's voice remained cold.
Even when Janus was manufacturing the multi-purpose printer, he divided it into different batches. But for human cognition, there has never been evidence that the printers themselves will be different between different batches - maybe there are, but for humans, it is just to enter the printing permissions, provide materials, and then create It's just the corresponding things...the same.
After all, humans only use it this way.
Therefore, even if those three multi-purpose printers are really the first prototypes created by Janus, they have no other special meaning other than being used as commemorations.
Besides, what does what he said have to do with the Road of Theseus?
Probably guessing Wutou-23's doubts, Ye Qian smiled slightly and said:
"If you know something about the history of the Great Impact, you will definitely know what the purpose of super artificial intelligence Janus was in creating a universal printer."
Forcing humans to evolve...
Wutou-23 thought to himself, but he did not say it out loud, but directly urged:
"Don't keep telling me off, so what?"
In response, Ye Qian nodded and said:
"Since Janus made the multi-purpose printer back then, it was to force mankind to complete the evolution he designed. Then you guess, when he made the first batch of multi-purpose printers, he was the first subject to be tested. Who could it be?"
"The First Deep Diver..."
Wu Tou-23, who instantly understood what the other party meant, murmured.
The upgrade path, Theseus, is said to have been specially designed for the first deep divers.
"In other words, among the three multi-purpose printers..."
Wutou-23, who understood what the other party meant, suddenly lowered his head and looked at Ye Qian.
The latter nodded and helped him finish the rest:
"In these three multi-purpose printers, the legacy of the first deep diver is sealed..."
…………
Booker looked at the drone array that suddenly left for some reason, feeling a little puzzled.
"Why did they suddenly..."
But Jiang Zhou on the side knew exactly what was going on - he had previously placed a decoy beacon on the other side, so all the guys were attracted to it.
However, he was not in much mood to think about this at the moment.
"I don't know. Maybe there is an enemy on the other side that is more troublesome for them."
He said vaguely and perfunctorily.
Now, he finally understood why that guy Ye Qian was so keen on controlling the underground of the Nord Resettlement Area.
It's not some bullshit corporate interest at all, he just wants to secretly collect those three multi-purpose printers without others knowing, and then figure out the secret of the Road to Theseus.
For this reason, whether it was forcibly shutting down the water purification plant to force Icarus to turn against him so that the disciplinary forces could have a reason to intervene; or using the Lobotomy Gang to raid Chiron House in order to snatch the organization's multi-purpose printer, its purpose It's all this.
Including that after Perse Fanny took over the business of the Nord Resettlement Area, he was working hard behind the scenes, and this was also the reason.
Those three multi-purpose printers that sealed the secrets of the "First Deep Diver".
But what kind of secret will it be...
Jiang Zhou couldn't help but think.
Recalling that I came to this era after traveling for a hundred years, the first place where I recorded my appearance was the Theseus warehouse. Jiang Zhou speculated that perhaps the universal printer sealing himself was one of the secrets of the Road to Theseus?
If this is the case, what legacy will be sealed in the other two multi-purpose printers?
