The boat docked, but in the end, only Jiang Zhou jumped onto the dock.
Charon and Hecate were still on the small boat and had no intention of getting off.
According to what they said along the way, the base construction programming of the Narcissus Plain was extremely special, so special that even they could not set foot here.
Putting aside Charon's unfamiliarity, Jiang Zhou found it hard to imagine that the goddess of the moon, who has the power to open all paths, could not set foot here.
"The reason I can't set foot is because this place has been specially designed and is essentially an extension of the Styx Firewall... Someone intercepted part of the Styx and created this realm."
Hecate responded to Jiang Zhou's confusion.
All malicious programs cannot pass through the Styx Firewall as long as there is no horse as an intermediary.
In other words, this Narcissus Plain on the Firewall was most likely created by the Abyss Wanderer.
Jiang Zhou expressed his guess and received a positive answer from the other party.
According to Hecate, the Narcissus Plain is closely related to an abyss wanderer organization called the "Fire Thief".
However, because of these AI's weird sense of time, Jiang Zhou could only roughly surmise that this organization called the "Fire Thieves" was most likely a group that appeared during the Second Cyber War.
Among the three cyber wars, the first cyber war was an extension of the Great Impact.
The coalition government at the time focused most of its attention on responding to the intensifying intrusions of malicious programs, thus ignoring the rise of super enterprises.
Therefore, the final result of the war was the decline of the coalition government, and its real power departments were transformed into independent companies. For example, Vulcan Heavy Industries, one of the Olympian gods, built about 70% of the resettlement areas in its predecessor. Union Ministry of Industries for Super Projects.
The third domain war is essentially a spoils-sharing conference between the twelve strongest super companies. The framework of the Olympian Order had already laid its foundation at that time. However, although the overall situation has been decided, in many details that cannot be ignored, the twelve super companies all feel that they should get more - and so the war breaks out.
As for the Second Cyber War, it may be the most brutal civil war in human history. Many historians call it the Third World War.
Although it was only sixty years ago, the descriptions of that war are spread like ancient myths and legends - the giant coalition government fell to the ground, super corporations ascended to the throne one after another, and the free mercenary kings They write legends, various new-age belief groups emerge, and malicious programs emerge from the abyss and dark web and wreak havoc like disasters...
How many legends were there in that era?
It is estimated that during the five years that the Second Cyber War lasted, about 30% of the global population died, which became the bloody foundation on which those legends were built - and this death toll even exceeded the number during the "Great Impact" data.
Only in that era would it be possible for forces other than the coalition government and the Olympian gods to create such a realm on the Styx Firewall.
However, as those AIs living in the abyss dark web, whether it is Hecate or Charon, their information about the "Fire Stealers" organization is limited to knowing such a name.
All in all, my next actions will be carried out without any support.
There is a lack of intelligence support, because the goddess of the dark moon cannot understand the path; there is a lack of off-site support, after all, she is now on the account of "Liao Qi", and can no longer pull people off in the name of "trial".
Perhaps the only good news is that on Narcissus Plains, I will only encounter wanderers trapped in the abyss and dark network, and no passing malicious programs will come out to kill me.
In fact, it is debatable whether this is good news... After all, it is hard to say which one is more malicious between humans and malicious programs.
But there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to return to the basic reality, he could only agree to Charon's conditions and get his horse back for him.
Jiang Zhou stepped on the creaking rotten wooden boards on the dock and was about to leave. Charon suddenly called him from behind:
"Do you remember where you are going next?"
"Narcissus Plains, looking for your horse wandering there."
Jiang Zhou stopped as he spoke and took out a parchment scroll with moth-eaten marks from his bag.
Opening it, there was a transparent screen of a data pad inside - Jiang Zhou wasn't very sure why even the intelligence data given to him had to look like this.
It's possible that these AIs are really busy.
"If you can find him before you die and bring him back here. Then I swear in the name of Styx that I will save you the money for two round trips and introduce you to a tailor. Corpse Man, let him make your brokenness whole again."
Charon raised two fingers toward the sky and said.
Styx, goddess of the river Styx. According to legend, even the gods cannot break the oaths sworn in their name.
But is he actually so solemn...
Jiang Zhou was secretly speechless.
He didn't expect that these AIs would pay so much attention to the horses they controlled.
But on the other hand, although Charon did not explicitly state the depth of his situation, judging from Hecate's attitude towards him, it must not be too different from hers.
And if you want to cultivate a horse that can be controlled by him, you will have to invest a lot of time and resources.
However, after roughly reading the information about the horse, Jiang Zhou was very doubtful whether the man would still be willing to continue to be Charon's horse even if he brought it out.
…………
On the way out of the abandoned factory, Booker was always in a state of excitement.
How many years has it been since the Icarus Liberation Front searched for those two universal printers?
They even thought for a time that the other two universal printers had actually been found by some lucky or unlucky person and sold elsewhere.
But now, he has obtained the whereabouts of one of them.
And it’s also a position that’s too specific to be more specific.
At this moment, Jiang Zhou was even more excited about this.
After all, that universal printer means more to him.
Could the black coffin in the storage room [J-0001] of Theseus Warehouse be a "time capsule" that allowed me to travel through a hundred years?
Even...Jiang Zhou had some more terrifying conjectures.
Could it be that I am just a factory-new replica printed by a multi-purpose printer, implanted with memories and personality from a hundred years ago?
If this is possible, would it be possible that even the memory of himself as the creator of "Janus" was directly forged... In history, the person "Jiang Zhou" does not exist at all, but A smokescreen created by Janus to falsify his true origins?
The more I think about it, the more outrageous it becomes, and that’s it for now…
He put a brake on his rampant thinking.
After all, this kind of mind game is pointless.
And for Jiang Zhou, even if he is really a copy of Jiang Zhou who inherited the complete memory and personality of a hundred years ago, it doesn't matter. After all, he was willing to pay the price of his own life a hundred years ago to upload his personality and continue his life in the digital world.
The past and the future are both difficult to control. All people can control is the eternal present.
As long as you are still thinking with "Jiang Zhou" thinking, then you are real.
So the key is what you should do now.
"Is there any way we can go to Theseus's warehouse and get that universal printer out?"
Jiang Zhou asked while controlling his emotions.
Booker, who was driving, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly his expression froze.
At this moment, in his sight, a pale countdown appeared again.
55:10:22:18
The last number 18 quickly jumped to 17.
However, what made his expression freeze was not the string of numbers, but the words that appeared along with the numbers.
[Perseus 3, please report to the organization the progress of tasks related to the Nord settlement area within 24 hours]
