Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1360 Decorations

Zheng Shijie's vision is that everyone, including himself, can use this combat space suit to gain power over external objects.

Because compared to uncontrollable cultivation, the output of armor is controllable. If this set of armor can be mastered, then for the Qigong practitioner, the cost of adapting to nature will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

If we regard "evolution is the ability to adapt to nature" as a turning point, then this can also be considered a kind of evolution.

Humans don't necessarily have to cultivate to the foundation-building stage to be able to cope with space - based on observations over the past two days, as long as the logistics are properly supplied, even those in the Qi training stage can work happily in space.

Zheng Shijie hopes that one day everyone will have a set of the Huben rifle, which was developed as a combat weapon.

"By the way, although we can disassemble it and study it later, I still want to ask Guo Xing - how can we make Tian Yi Gui Ren gather into a machine soul?"

In a way, this is actually creating a life, and a very wonderful life form.

This is similar to the group action of sardines. The actions of a single Tianyi Guiren lack meaning from a macro perspective and it is difficult to convey useful information. But as long as a group of Tianyi Guiren gather together, they can fill in the gaps between them and form a complete personality.

This complete personality is based on all the participants, not just one individual. The opinions of each Tianyi nobleman will be expressed, but they will eventually reach a consensus and discuss a meaningful result.

"So the surname of the country." Shangluo added the question, "What do you think of these aggregated machine souls?"

"Shangluo, this actually depends on how you perceive a 'soul'. What is a soul? Does it mean that a person has a soul if he or she expresses an independent personality?"

Shangluo shook his head.

This question is quite complex because it goes directly to the fundamental question of the nature of the human soul.

Shangluo couldn't figure it out, and Zheng Shijie obviously couldn't understand it either. But one thing is certain - the gathered Tianyi nobles do have the potential to become an independent individual.

"So Shangluo, if you must ask me, I can only answer that I don't have my own opinion on how to define self-awareness. But I know that at least they can express the [phenomenon] of self-awareness. Aren't these the phenomena that we interact with?"

Although he could not define the mechanical souls that made up the Tianyi nobles, they could indeed be considered human beings and could interact with each other as such. Zheng Shijie believed that since it was impossible to make a distinction, they could be treated as human beings.

"I think we can discuss the specific ethical issues later. At least for now, these good assistants who can help us control machinery in the field of phlogiston can become an important way to expand our combat power."

"Well, I have a suggestion. Or rather, I am proposing an ethical boundary here." Shang Luo said, "I believe that machine spirits, battle spirits, substitutes, and guardian spirits must all meet one requirement - they must be summoned one-on-one."

[Ah! That's right!] Apollonia also realized this key point, [It should be like this. You may not know Guo's surname, but I can explain it to you.]

She explained in the public chat channel: [Rome has a method of summoning familiars - a helper can be summoned from the spirit world. This helper will become the wizard's partner. It can become infinitely powerful, but the connection between them and the wizard has never been severed. Because there are tens of thousands of wandering spirits in the light world, and the person who can summon a familiar is chosen by the familiar itself. In other words, this is the birth chosen by the familiar itself.] "This sounds like it's important?"

[This is extremely important. It's just like fishing. The fish has to bite the hook on its own before it can be caught. And once the familiar makes a choice, it will always follow him.]

"So, is this a judgment based on ethics? Or is it based on considerations of interests?"

[It is also based on long-term interests.] Apollonia said, [Because these memetic creatures from the spirit world also have their own self-awareness, how can they be willing to submit to humans? Or to put it more bluntly, why do we believe that they will always remain loyal.]

"Then you have no way to guarantee that the familiar will remain loyal after pairing with someone, right?"

[Indeed not. But accordingly, if something goes wrong with the familiar, we can arrest the person who signed the contract with him as an accomplice.]

The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. A memetic life form certainly cannot be sanctioned by a country in a physical state, but it only needs to sanction the person who has made a contract with a familiar.

"By the way, is this fair?"

[This is fair in the first place. Because the existence of the familiar is closely related to the summoner, and the summoner is the cause of all this. Moreover, the familiar and the summoner are in tune with each other, so there is no reason for one to rebel without the other knowing.]

"There is actually such a method of handling it." Zheng Shijie nodded, "Shangluo, what do you think?"

"At least from the perspective of law enforcement, it is very efficient. Indeed, as long as the responsible party is clearly identified, this relatively dangerous behavior can also flourish." Because this means finding someone responsible.

"Okay, okay," Zheng Shijie said in a deep voice, "In fact, we need these Tianyi nobles to help because we hope they can help the Qigong practitioners adapt to the environment and transcend the mundane world - that really only requires one-on-one. Everyone can summon a familiar of their own and use it as a medium for driving their own vehicle."

Because a person can only drive one vehicle at a time, so even a one-to-one binding is enough to handle all situations.

After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment: "I actually started to look forward to it. I also want a familiar to help me solve some problems. For example, help me decide what to eat for dinner - ah, doesn't this become a personal assistant?"

[Yes. A personal assistant, a personal staff. To some extent, everyone can get happiness from it! Look, Shangluo is so happy.]

"Yes, yes, yes." Shangluo nodded, "My last name is Fu, but you don't know that, right?"

"I do have a question," Zheng Shijie thought for a moment, "If a person dies, what happens to the familiar that has a contract with him?"

[I think this is also necessary to grow up.] Apollonia said solemnly, [Even for familiars and memetic creatures, they must receive human education in order to continue to operate in human society. If the person who summoned him leaves, he will become a truly independent individual while gaining freedom. As for whether such an individual can continue to exist, this is actually a legal issue. As for who is more important to the world between the two, or becomes the other's decoration. This is the ethical issue of the new world, an ethical issue between "dual individuals."]
