It will take a hundred years...
Isn't that now?
Janus's calm words were like thunder exploding in Jiang Zhou's heart.
Now, one hundred years later, I was released from the "coffin" on the underground level of the Nord settlement area, and then I was caught in Tartarus by accident and woke up in the train. After implanting the brain-computer interface for the first time, he directly activated the "Janus Program" and established a mysterious connection with "Liao Qi".
In this way, I merged with the punk youth whose head was pierced by "Scorpio" and who was supposed to die in the hotel, and became an individual with two bodies and two brains.
They can share memories, feelings, wisdom, and intelligence synchronously... they will be affected by each other's emotions, take actions, and even make sacrifices for each other's goals. But none of this feels inconsistent, as if they were born this way.
If people can really understand each other, then the closest thing Jiang Zhou can imagine is their current model - "Jiang Zhou" and "Liao Qi" are not separate Two personalities, but one person fused together.
The two connected brains, like the left and right hemispheres, together form a new self.
Beyond that, according to Hecate. The direction planned for the "Road of Theseus" tailor-made for him is the so-called "path to upgrade from hive mind".
Scattered individuals are linked to each other and gathered into a unified collective.
Although it is difficult to imagine what the scene will be like, if the current situation is extended to all mankind, it will indeed be the so-called "mutual understanding between people."
but……
"Can this really be done?"
Jiang Zhou in the past and present asked this question at the same time.
A hundred years ago, Jiang Zhou doubted the technical feasibility of this matter.
A hundred years later, Jiang Zhou doubted whether human society could accept this kind of change.
No, there is no need to doubt it anymore. The way the world looks like now is worth a thousand words.
The upgrade path, Theseus, became the thread that controlled the puppet by controlling emotions. But even if it is distorted in this way, it is listed as one of the banned upgrade paths because it will trigger a "human intelligence collapse scenario".
Believing in that bullshit "Holy Trinity", it has been upgraded to the "Dionysian Game" that is as deep as the limit of human intelligence. It is not about connecting others with equal status, but using other people's mental models as programs for optimizing algorithms.
In response, Janus nodded and said:
"To be honest, this wish does have some troubles. It will take a relatively long time to realize, and it can be expected that this road will be very tortuous... but in the end, it can succeed.
"I have said it before... I can realize any wish that humans desire."
His tone was full of unquestionable confidence.
"So, what is the technical idea?"
Jiang Zhou from a hundred years ago had calmed down. He pondered for a moment and asked:
"Since you can give a specific implementation time, you must already have a technical idea, right?"
…………
Ye Qian didn't know how long he had walked or how far he had walked - it was as if someone had distorted the timing system and the length of space in this network. He could only time by his heartbeat and measure the distance with his feet.
But no matter what, the "Theseus Warehouse" was right in front of him.
Even more fortunately, the obstructive "gatekeeper" program that looked like a "celestial instrument" in the past was wiped out by an unknown force - its remains were lying in a mess on the street not far away. There are traces of melting and re-solidification everywhere.
Once the obstacle of the "gatekeeper" program is removed, he will be able to enter unimpeded and obtain the key to upgrade to the "Path of Theseus".
Although he has now lost his physical body in the base reality, as a depth 4 adjuster walking on the "Road of Theseus". He has many ways to accumulate strength in the abyss and dark web and make a comeback.
But...how did I embark on the "Path of Theseus" in the first place, and discover the secret of this path's advancement, which was hidden in that warehouse?
Just before he was about to reach his destination, Ye Qian suddenly had this question in his mind.
He originally planned to take the initiative to subconsciously ignore such boring questions as usual, but maybe it was because he lost his body and was freed from the shackles of something - this time, for the first time, he thought along the same lines as before. .
Then he discovered the problem.
How did he become the adjuster of "The Path of Theseus"? When I was performing field missions, I clearly emphasized the adjustment and transformation of the direction of frontal combat.
He has never forgotten that opportunity for change. But every time he tried to recall it, he would subconsciously feel that it was too much trouble, so he might as well think about it next time.
On the company's board of directors, the only director who has not exceeded the limits of human intelligence is the adjuster of Theseus' path. And that director had personally installed a puppet circuit for himself.
But after the director installed it for him, he took the initiative to completely cut off the contact between the two - he just told himself not to actively think of such a thing in the future.
And not long after he became the adjuster of Theseus' path, he was transferred to the third deep dive chamber - not long after, he accidentally discovered that the path of Theseus was hidden in the current network domain. secret.
And that secret is...
Ye Qian walked to the dark coffin - it was pulsing like a heart at the moment, as if it was pregnant with something.
The secret is the one who keeps it.
The moment he came into contact with the multi-purpose printer, countless information poured into his "mind" through the special channels of "Theseus Path" - Ye Qian understood many things in an instant.
The key to theseus' path to upgrade and breakthrough is the person locked inside. As long as you control him, there are endless possibilities.
He is the missing link.
And now, that person is about to be liberated from this coffin.
Driven by emotions that may not belong to him, Ye Qian began to interfere.
…………
"Have you started printing your body yet?"
After putting away the vector jet, Booker landed, and under the influence of inertia, he trotted with some staggering and rushed to the vicinity of Liao Qi.
"Did the Goddess of the Dark Moon say when she would come to the base reality?"
The combat module on his body kept changing into a state of putting away its weapons. He looked at the dark coffin floating in mid-air and asked anxiously.
At the moment, all he can think of is to balance the interests of the underground levels of the Nord settlement area, the Icarus Liberation Front, and the Fire Thieves at the same time. The only way to expel the troops of Pluto Deep Diving Company at the same time is to allow as many people as possible to survive. It was the "mecha deus ex machina" performed by Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, under the authorization of Mr. "Paradox".
Therefore, he even gave up his previous responsibility of guarding the node and flew over directly to check the progress - if the person sent by the company was a big shot who could fight back and forth with his boss "Perseus One", then Even if he participates, he is just a higher-level cannon fodder.
Why not come here and care about the progress of the goddess of the moon?
However, after his hurried inquiry, Liao Qi did not answer him anything just like he did in the communication channel before.
"Liao Qi?"
Turning his gaze away from the constantly pulsating black coffin, Booker looked at Liao Qi, who was connected to the multi-purpose printer through a data cable.
At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged not far from the multi-purpose printer, with his eyes closed and his head lowered as if in meditation.
What's going on... Previously, he was just responsible for providing drawings for printing, so he wouldn't enter immersion mode when connected.
Booker suppressed his uneasiness and walked forward, waving and patting the other party on the shoulder.
Then, as if a corpse had been pushed over, Liao Qi fell to the ground in the direction of Booker's push. The wing-shaped metal frame behind him collided with the ground, making a "click" sound.
This frightened Booker to help him up and immediately started scanning. After detecting that all the other party's vital signs were online, he breathed a sigh of relief.
So, his spirit was dragged into the abyss and dark web by Mr. Paradox again?
For a moment, it seemed that Booker could only find this reason.
But if that's the case, then I don't know if this is good news...
Why was Liao Qi the only one who went in? Then why wasn't he dragged in?
Just when Booker began to think uncontrollably, Liao Qi suddenly slowly opened his eyes and woke up.
"How is the situation now?"
Booker asked quickly.
But Liao Qi looked at Booker with a blank expression.
“Leader Erwin… I’m a little confused right now.
"What should we do next?"
…………
Is that so?
After listening to the simple technical ideas described by "Janus", Jiang Zhou - both in the past and now - was stunned.
The reverse dichotomous mind regards the thoughts of others as the "voice of heaven" and "voice of the heart" that are not summarized in the subject and drive the body's behavior.
The so-called "controllable factors" are actually...
"correct……"
Janus in the simulated image suddenly fluctuated - Jiang Zhou couldn't tell for a moment whether it was a scene from the past or the present.
And what he said next made him even more confused.
"I am very sorry for the fate that is about to befall Liao Qi."
