Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 248 The real history

Diamond said: "There are many differences and inconsistencies between the history I have recorded and stored and the history in the current database."

"Based on the common protocol of today's electromechanical cities, the database updates historical records once a year, so many historical records are constantly being revised. A considerable number of facts that have occurred have also been deleted and redefined. In short, history is constantly being tampered with and reshaped."

"It is difficult for me to make a truly objective evaluation of this. As a citizen of the electromechanical society, I should abide by the conventions of this society, but as a teacher of history, I cannot approve of the tampering and erasure of true history."

At this time, Sigma from the Programming Department quickly said, "Mr. Zhou, any individual statement made by Diamond does not represent the position of Recursive City."

Disclaimer.

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding.

For safety reasons, he also stopped the topic for the time being: "We'll talk about the specifics later. Now I want to confirm that the subjects you teach are history and language. What are the specific contents?"

"The content of my teaching includes world history, electromechanical city history, a brief history of the Dead Sea, and a brief history of ethnic minorities in the field of history. The languages include traditional electromechanical programming languages such as C, assembly language, Java, and Python," Diamond said.

Zhou Yi was stunned.

The language was different from what he expected.

It turns out it’s not a language, but a programming language?

“Can you also teach programming?”

"know a little."

Diamond said: "But the main purpose is to teach the basic logic, vocabulary and grammar of the basic language. If electromechanical life wants to truly understand its own program, or to be able to better use the program and data, it needs to learn the language that is the basis of its own architecture."

Zhou Yi's thinking gradually adjusted.

For electromechanical life, these are their true own languages.

Communicating with humans and other light nano species is only a foreign language that can be learned later.

After figuring this out, Zhou Yi asked again: "You mainly teach electromechanical life?"

"Yes."

"Then can you teach humans and other light-nano species?"

"I think that's OK."

The old-fashioned speaker said in a firm mezzo-soprano voice: "Knowledge has no race. As long as one has the ability to understand and express, I believe everyone can receive education."

"well said."

Zhou Yi also agreed with this: "Then Mr. Diamond, I formally invite you to be a teacher at our Wasteland Development Company. But maybe the foundation of your students is not that good, so you need to pay more attention."

"Wasteland Development Company? What kind of organization is this?"

It expresses doubt.

Sigma next to it told it: "Mr. Zhou's company is an important partner of Recursive City, with a credit rating of B+. It not only has excellent resources and financial resources, but also has extremely strong military power."

"Diamond, you should pay more attention to the news and current affairs, stop isolating yourself, and start the machine stack service. This is a great opportunity for you, I hope you can consider it carefully."

"understood."

The mechanical and electrical teacher said, "I have two requests. First, please do not interfere with the content and form of my teaching. Because different individuals may need different content and methods of teaching, I need discretion in this regard."

Teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Zhou Yi said, "No problem."

"One more thing is that I need some teaching equipment, including enhanced controllers, translators, projectors, and a safe indoor space that can shelter from wind and rain. Please prepare them for me."

"it is good."

In this way, Zhou Yi secured the company's first teacher.

The two parties completed the electronic agreement through a recursive process.

Since Diamond only accepts physical connections and refuses online synchronization and access on the program side, the entire process is much more complicated.

After signing this mechanical and electrical engineering teacher with 200 years of teaching experience, Zhou Yi took him all the way back to Emerald City.

Because some of the content is sensitive, it is better to discuss it here.

……

Diamond's visual organ is an old-fashioned camera that is fixed on the top of his head and cannot even rotate 180 degrees.

But the sound quality is actually pretty good.

To Zhou Yi, this voice with a slight hint of smoke has more texture and is more recognizable.

He strikes a delicate balance between gentleness and strictness, just the right tone for a teacher.

Zhou Yi sat down on the sofa: "Diamond, do you mind telling me about your experience of being hacked by a virus program?"

The other party was silent for a while.

It then responded: "That was about 150 years ago. At that time, I had accumulated 60 years of teaching experience and my professional ability was very close to level B."

"At that time, each mechanical and electrical city operated independently, and the impact on each other was small. It was more like the relationship between human cities today, with competition and cooperation."

"At that time, a virus broke out that swept the entire electromechanical society. A program called "brain-eating worm" appeared out of nowhere. It was implanted in many public facilities. When electromechanical citizens read and used those facilities, they would be infected." "The brain-eating worm sneaked into the host's main program, copied and recorded a large number of programs, stole core data, and then transmitted information to the outside."

"The infected person's information will be completely leaked, and almost all of their stored light seeds will be stolen. After losing their value, the infected person will be controlled by the brain-eating worms again."

Diamond narrated: "Most of the time, the infected look normal. But at some critical moments, the brain-eating worms will take over and control the infected, allowing them to steal city resources, deceive partners, and even kill their own kind and those who know about it."

Zhou Yi frowned when he heard this.

This thing sounds a bit destructive.

"At that time, the mechanical and electrical cities had to unite with each other and sign a general agreement to share part of the database. This enabled them to share what they had, identify and isolate the infected, and do a lot of data backup to avoid the collapse of various city programs."

"Many cities gathered their forces to quickly manufacture weapons to deal with the "brain-eating worms."

The mechanical and electrical teacher said: "I am also one of the infected people."

"Later, when we counted the numbers, we found that the brain-eating worms didn't kill many mechanical and electrical lives. They mostly stole a large number of light seeds and core data, causing huge economic losses to cities. Every mechanical and electrical city was affected."

“That’s how the unified credit rating system came into being.”

“The signing of the general agreement has established a series of new procedural constraints, one of which is the regular updating and revision of history.”

Diamond said: "Before this, different cities had their own data, and their records and descriptions of history were also different. It is also because of this phenomenon that the history of the world has shown multiple facets and there are more historical materials to be verified. But after the historical data was unified, part of the past began to be gradually destroyed."

“This destruction is slow and silent.”

"Every year, history undergoes certain changes, and these changes are irreversible. Because under the unified standards of the universal protocol, everyone uses the database to check history, and if there is a deviation from their own records, the database will prevail. This leads to history being constantly tampered with by a hidden force."

It said in a serious tone: "Among them, the most serious tampering is world history and the history of electromechanical society."

"Two hundred years ago, all teachers knew that mechanical and electrical life had bravely resisted the invasion of the Celestial Beings. But now, this history has been completely erased and hidden. No one believes it is true anymore and only regards it as a rumor."

Zhou Yi was excited when he heard this.

Mechanical and electrical life has really fought with celestial beings.

He had previously descended to Coral Mouth in the body of a dog-headed man and had asked the Yeti about it, but the other party had given a negative answer.

It seems to be related to the falsification of history.

Mechanical and electrical life all use data as the standard answer.

Data can be falsified and tampered with, and this is not uncommon in ancient human history.

Zhou Yi asked again: "When did the Celestial Beings invade?"

"About 340 years ago, celestial beings descended from the sky and invaded the earth."

Diamond said: "At that time, the mechanical life forms, the light nano species and humans formed a joint resistance army to fight against the Celestial Beings. These are all well-known facts in the past."

"At that time, the three strongest armed forces were the Black Emperor's Dawn Guard, the old king's Star Matrix, and the weapon princess led by the Lord of Weapons. Mechanical and electrical life mainly produces and develops various equipment, and provides logistical supply and technical support."

"But later, the Black Emperor betrayed and established the Kingdom of Heaven, becoming the implementer of the will of the gods. The old king's Star Hub declared independence, and the Lord of Arms resigned... The joint resistance war ultimately failed."

"It was not that long ago, but this period of history has been erased. All relevant documents kept by human cities have been confiscated and cleared, and no one is allowed to talk about it."

"The mechanical and electrical city originally preserved the most complete and detailed historical materials, but as history was constantly revised, the past was hidden."

"Now I can't get any information about this. The last time I checked, I only got a 403 protocol unauthorized response. Later, even 403 was not displayed, only no information was found."

The mechanical and electrical teacher's voice was bleak.

Zhou Yi's mind raced as he listened.

The time since the arrival of the gods was not as long as imagined. The relevant parts of the history of the wasteland world known today have been transformed and modified.

The three giants, the Black Emperor, the Old King and the Lord of Arms, are also the leaders of the resistance army.

After being recruited and split, the resistance situation fell apart.

The mechanical and electrical teacher continued, "After I was infected with the brain-eating worm, a large amount of data was deleted. At that time, I found that the detailed history I recorded was gone. Not only me, but many teachers and historians were also attacked on a large scale. Almost all the detailed data about the Resistance era was lost."

"So I think that the brain-eating worms are not simply a virus infection. There is an invisible hand behind it, and it is an invasion and transformation of the mechatronic society. They attack and tamper with data to guide and influence the mechatronic life group in a specific way."

“They succeeded.”

"Electromechanical cities have been connected to each other since then, and data ends are synchronized with each other through machine stack services. The only information in the world that is considered correct is the information in the database... These programs and data have been changed in a targeted manner, but it is impossible to trace back to the source."

"Although I kept a brief record of what happened on paper, I was unable to reconstruct the details of what happened at that time."

Diamond sighed.

"Many of my kind believe that what I consider history is data errors caused by the aging of mechanisms and procedures, which creates fictions because everything is based on the database."

"But I have always insisted that the past history has been tampered with. I maintained the physical connection and refused to use the optical stack service because I didn't want the last bit of record to be tampered with and erased."

"We once fought hard and failed. They want to erase the history of our resistance."

"In the past, mechanical life forms fought side by side with humans and light nanoforms, fearless of sacrifice. Now, they are isolated from each other and even hate each other for various reasons... It is really heartbreaking."

Zhou Yi listened silently.

This time, we got some really important information.
