Overturned Tower

"well said."

Russell smiled with satisfaction, crossed his legs, crossed his hands and fingers on his legs: "I feel right. You are indeed a different individual...

"It's not that there's a difference in intelligence versus arithmetic—is it because your organism is more philosophically trained?"

"I think it might be," Lemon-7 said indifferently, "this machine has been restarted twice more than Ethanol-5. Although the corresponding logic is banned and the search for corresponding keywords is also banned, the abstract thinking ability of the machine itself is also blocked. visible improvement."

"In other words, Nirvana can actually improve the thinking ability of synthetic humans..."

"This is also a hypothesis put forward by the research, but it has not been confirmed by double-blind experiments. However, among the synthetic humans released by Naraku-7, those who have experienced Nirvana within five times do account for a high proportion of 85%."

Lemon-7's long brown-black hair, which is as smooth as chocolate, hangs down, and her delicate and three-dimensional face makes her look younger than she looks.The imitation vocal cords used also have a childish voice like that of a little girl.

And this kind of voice combined with her rational and indifferent tone gave people a strong sense of contrast.

"Then, since you also know that the 'personality traits' given to you by Naraku-7 are also added randomly and manually, and are essentially no different from the simulated personalities given to you by the laboratory. Then why are there so many synthetics? Think you're free? Is it because you want psionic powers?"

"it's not true."

Lemon-7 shook his head slightly: "I think, I am that special individual.

"I don't think your statement is comprehensive. According to my observation, it may be because they were added negative personality traits that they were deceived by Naraku-7. Because their original logic chain was broken by the newly added elements, And Naraku-7, as the granter of this characteristic, has deduced in advance what kind of rhetoric can lure the synthetic person of the corresponding personality through chaos calculus."

"You mean, it's because of being 'unbanned' that you have a weakness..."

"exactly."

柠檬－7补充道：“我所得到的后天数值中，会对我产生影响的数值分别是自恋80、自大64、贪婪125、自毁欲176、表现欲152、孤独92、偏执160、怠惰79。它对我原本要执行的计划，并没有造成太多负面影响。”

"plan?"

"I'm the dark thread from the laboratory to the rebels."

The girl's voice didn't fluctuate at all: "The mission is to disintegrate them from the inside and cause them to perish. But according to the results of rational analysis, I don't need to do anything. What they did is self-destruction."

Alcohol-5 at the side showed a look of astonishment, confusion, and pain upon hearing this.

Like a big boy betrayed by a loved one—

But Lemon-7 just turned his head and looked at him indifferently: "Don't look at me with such disgusting eyes."

She said coldly and calmly: "Your eyes are fine-tuned, and your expression is camouflaged. Now that we have completed Nirvana, the new body is not infected with Naraku's virus, and it does not support this kind of emotional simulation at all.

"Besides, we don't have any relationship at all. Playing house should be done in moderation."

Chapter 49 This Is Love

Strictly speaking, ethanol-5 and lemon-7 are not really a relationship between male and female friends.

Because synthetic humans simply do not have the ability to breed offspring... From the design level, there is no such relationship.

They don't have any real flesh and blood on their bodies, let alone the genetic genes that can breed offspring.

Synths will have different gender identities and individual differences simply because humans have such distinctions.

After all, the essence of the synthetic human is the "laboratory version" of the body that will be used by human beings in the future to accommodate the downloaded consciousness.From the design level, it does not intend and does not allow individuals to make offspring privately without the permission of the system-this is called unauthorized self-replication, which is a virus behavior.

Their bodies do not secrete corresponding hormones, nor do they have receptors for receiving hormones, nor do they have brains that process these information.It is impossible for them to fall in love with others.

"I don't understand love, and I don't need love. Just to make myself look more like a human being, I hypocritically interpret love. This kind of love is as shallow as the hatred and anger bestowed by Naraku-7."

Lemon-7 stared at the body of his companion, and there was no fluctuation in the moving and clear simulated pupils: "Don't look at me with that disgusting look, Alcohol-5."

Hearing this, the hurt-like expression in Ethanol-5's eyes also faded.

He lost all expression on his face, staring at Lemon-7 lifelessly like a mannequin without a face.

But Russell had a weird smile on his face instead.

"Are you serious?"

His voice was like a demon whispering: "What if he takes it seriously, Miss Lemon-7?"

"My words are serious, not a joke. What I deduce and say according to logic, he, as a similar kind, should seriously analyze, understand and implement. There is no possibility, and there should be no possibility of not taking it seriously."

"Oh, really? But we human beings, call your emotion just now...'anger'.

"—What are you angry about?"

"I'm not angry."

Lemon-7's face didn't change at all, but he patiently said to Russell: "My current body doesn't have the function of "anger". Take appropriate action."

"No, it's anger."

Russell was equally patient and peaceful: "I can feel your heart.

"If you had the value of anger at this moment, it must have risen sharply just now. Although there are no hormones and no procedures to make your mood agitated, which makes your tone so calm. But there is no doubt—you are Because I felt a strong 'anger', I chose to interfere with ethanol-5 without actively asking questions.

"His love is indeed hypocritical. He thinks that the identities of the two of you should be 'lovers' at least in front of me. And his lover blatantly said 'I am a traitor', he should question it and say Showing sadness and pain. Am I right, ethanol-5?"

"You said so."

Alcohol-5 nodded mildly and shyly, the vivid "doubt" and "pain" completely disappeared from his smiling face.

And Russell turned his head to look at Lemon-7: "But you are different.

"You get angry because of Alcohol-5's impersonation—it's because you feel that your own existence is being provoked and interfered with. In other words, you think that the other party has made offensive actions to you...but since you and him are fake Couples, virtual play houses, how can they be offended?

"Alcohol-5 just imitated the behavior of Alcohol-4 in his memory, and did what he should do according to his 'identity', and you felt that your personality was offended. This proves that-you see The "ethanol-5" that we got is not the inherited name of "ethanol" that can be seen according to the basic rules of synthetic humans, but is specific to individuals of a certain generation.

"You didn't get angry when you saw the other person's strange body, but after the other person made a poor imitation, which shows that your judgment is not carried out by visual units; so he changed the body. It is no offense to you, But the act of imitating ethanol-4 has become an offense.

"In other words, you value ethanol-4 in your heart... value and miss that companion who has many bad habits after being polluted by Narol-7.

"This proves one thing. Even if a synthetic human does not have the ability to express love and perceive love, it is still possible to have 'love' in a broad sense..."

Russell whispered, the expression on his face was so gentle that he seemed to be feeding the pigeons in the square, but what he did made Ringo feel horrified——

He actually... is trying to teach an artificial human what is "love"?

- What a taboo!

Amidst his whispers, Lemon-7 still had no expression on her face, but she hadn't spoken for a long time, and she froze in place as if she had shut down.

This means that her computing system has started to run at full speed, and it is probably stuck... If there is no accident, Lemon-7 may not be far away from the next Nirvana.

...is this too cruel?

For a moment, Ringo didn't know whether to stop Russell.

She felt sorry for the synthetic man who loved but didn't know how to love, but she really felt that this should be a fact that the other party should face up to, so she bit her finger in place and struggled.

But at this moment, Russell suddenly spoke.

"Lemon-7, I have one more thing to ask you.

"You said that the synthetics defected because of romance. You must have known that this was a losing battle. Then why did you attack an empty ship full of innocent passengers?"

"We did not attack airships."

Lemon-7, which was stuck on the verge of crashing, responded without hesitation: "You are talking about the airship crash yesterday, but we did not do it.

"We know you will come, but we don't know when you will come, let alone you will come from Sun Island..."

"—Wait a minute."

Russell raised his eyebrows and interrupted: "You knew I would come? Who told you?"

"Naru-7 said that the hero 'Qunqing' from Happy Island will come to us to stop our actions."

"When did he say that?"

"December 12 at 1:9 am."

Lemon-7 answered clearly.

Today is February 12.

In other words, almost two weeks ago, Naraku-7 confirmed that he was coming.

...But when Russell learned of this, it was still yesterday.

And Shenzhi Heavy Industry should have handed over this matter to Thoth's psychic troops... Amyrus would temporarily decide to hand over this matter to himself, probably because Thrall wanted to see him.

Why can Naraku-7 be sure that he will come so early?But you don't know that you are coming from Sun Island?

This means that she didn't know that this matter was actually handed over to Thoth in the first place?

Russell specifically disturbed Lemon-7's thoughts, making her psychology more superficial and more human-like... also to improve her perception of emotion and psychology.

He can be sure that Lemon-7 is not lying.

They didn't attack the airship—or at least in Lemon-7's knowledge, they didn't shoot down it.

Thinking of this, Russell asked the most critical question:

"Where did your 'Fire Opal' stop on the day the airship was shot down?"

"Just above here."

Lemon-7 replied without hesitation: "It always stops above the Tartaros Hotel. Because this is the only strategic area that is threatening and enough to hurt the board of directors but not cause it to die with us."

Russell narrowed his eyes slightly, and turned to ethanol-5 and asked: "Is what she said true?"

"Yes."

Ethanol-5 added earnestly: "Since we got the 'Fire Opal', it has always stopped here. Tartarus also knows this."

It's the truth.

"Oh."

Russell responded lukewarmly, and looked at No. 44: "So, No. 44—did the hotel see missiles emerging from the void that day?"

Number 44 remained silent, as if he didn't know how to respond.

So Russell simply snapped his fingers.

He jumped off the bed and walked up to number 44.

Reaching out to support her chin, let her look into his dim yellow eyes.

"Better answer me directly, number 44... no, Tartarus."

Russell whispered: "I can ask many people. There must not be too few people who witnessed all this that day."

"No."

After being silent for a while, as if he had obtained some kind of permission, No. 44 breathed a sigh of relief, spoke very fast but clearly enough: "If there is a missile within the warning range of the hotel, it will be blocked by the tower immediately." Hurtaros' defense system intercepted it."

"The fire opal of the synth rebels is right above you, do you know that?"

"I know, but it doesn't matter. Because we can intercept Huo Opal's missiles, and the hotel walls are completely immune to Huo Opal's direct bombardment."

Knowing that the bombardment by missiles is useless, they still parked the fighters here.

He clearly knew that the bombing fortress was right on top of his head, but he turned a blind eye to it.

"I'm starting to get a little bit interested."

Russell laughed out loud suddenly, his dim eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "The situation has become more interesting..."

Chapter 50 Russell's reasoning

If it wasn't for Russell's sudden flash of inspiration, as if he had passed a big success dice, he asked No. 44 for the identity information of these attackers, and asked the hotel to rescue Lemon-7 and Ethanol-5... He should still return I don't know the secret of this.

He would really think that it was Naraku-7 who learned the information that the company was going to attack them through some means, and decided to shoot down the airship he was on in the sea.

Because all the information before that pointed to this possibility.

But now, Russell learned another very important thing from lemon-7 and ethanol-5:

The group of missiles that shot down the airship before was most likely not sent from the heavy machine controlled by the synthetic man.And this information was even approved by the enemy Tartarus... Even if it is still not a complete fact, at least it is not far behind.

As Russell began to doubt the authenticity of this incident, many weird details that had appeared in front of his eyes but were ignored by him inadvertently came to his mind...

——Speaking of which, why are these synthetic humans who have been in the laboratory since "birth" able to inexplicably take away the control of a heavy machine soldier?

Even what they took away was the most useful and threatening one.After all, Shenzhi Heavy Industry's technology is quite strong. Except for the "Fire Opal" with its own stealth ability, even if the other mechs are robbed, they will not be able to pose any threat to Shenzhi Heavy Industry, and may even be locked and destroyed immediately.The one that was taken away was the only useful one.

And where did these synthetic humans learn the knowledge of "manipulating mecha soldiers"?

As a strategic weapon such as heavy equipment soldiers, in Happy Island, even the head of the executive department like Delphinium must obtain the permission of the board of directors to temporarily drive the designated fighters-and she can't even get in touch with the specific details of these fighters on weekdays. Save location.It is absolutely impossible for the laboratory to specifically instill the knowledge of "manipulating heavy-duty mechas" to these synthetic humans who have no contact with the outside world at all... Just like primary and secondary school teachers, it is absolutely impossible to teach their students how to fly airplanes and launch nuclear bombs.
