Overturned Tower

She would only show a faint smile, then pinch Russell's ears in a demonstrative way, and then gently bite his neck in front of the camera, leaving faint tooth marks—as a provocation and show off.

That can only mean that the lover of your dreams will belong to me from now on, and it is useless to covet his body, and I am the only one who can enjoy it.

Because delphiniums are never afraid of things.

Compared with Russell and the bad guys who are somewhat hesitant, she is more inclined to the type of going forward-just like the trap that the discord set for the Delphinium in the Hive nightclub.

If the person who unlocked it was Delphinium, even if she knew that there was a trap in front of her, she would never back down, but dared to bet her life.

"You will win by yourself", this is delphinium's self-confidence.

...but that would be too provocative.

So Delphinium deliberately put on a gentle look, even took Russell's arm and leaned gently on his shoulder.

But this actually made delphinium feel a little excited - she just thought about it, although she seemed weak and docile during the day, but at night she could use the "tail" implanted by Russell to wrap around his neck , pressing him on the bed, holding his hands, and kissing his earlobes, would give Delphinium a sense of immorality of "you never imagine what we'll do at night."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Delphinium feels that after being with Russell, her acting skills have improved significantly...

And Russell's plan doesn't stop there.

The interview was still going on—but the topic was no longer controlled by Miss Dai Lan, but completely influenced and held by Russell.

Miss Dai Lan was still thankful that her mind didn't crash due to the excessive amount of information, and she could still think of topics that were very suitable for asking questions.

However, in fact, this is not what she came up with.It was Russell who induced her to remember.

For example, after the official announcement, Russell didn't just call out Delphinium, but specifically mentioned "Her name is Delphinium"-this directly announced her code name, which means that people can easily find Delphinium identity of.This was an indication that Russell had no intention of hiding Delphinium's identity.

But he didn't directly say Delphinium's identity and occupation, which was specially reserved for Dai Lan.

When Russell was on the airship, he had already written the script for Delphinium in advance.After the airship landed, he sent it to Delphinium along with his own plan.

Dai Lan almost instinctively asked what kind of occupation Miss Delphinium does, or how Miss Delphinium met Qunqing.

At this time, Delphinium can very naturally elicit the identity of the head of the executive department.

Relying on this identity, she can in turn strengthen Russell's personality.As Russell's colleague and immediate leader, it is obviously very reasonable for her to fall in love with Russell... and her "private evaluation" of Russell will naturally become a point of curiosity for people.

Likewise, Delphinium makes vague references to her early cohabitation with Russell.But not a word about life and work.

Then of course Dai Lan would be very curious too.

Such an amateur reporter would think that she had "caught the news", so she would blurt out and ask Delphinium "what kind of person is Qunqing in life".

So delphinium can talk about some small details of life with Russell on weekdays, and use the method of "wide-area distribution of sugar" to increase people's recognition of their couple, so as to turn Russell's girlfriend fans into as much as possible. CP powder.

At this time, Russell can make up some "merits that belong to delphinium that people don't know".People will find that delphinium is not inferior to Russell in what he does, but he doesn't like to show off.

Then Dai Lan's thinking will naturally be guided to the direction of "Then why have you suddenly decided to show off now?"

After asking questions, Russell was able to lead the topic to Tongshen Island.He told how difficult the task he had accepted, why delphinium was worried about himself—and then mentioned that all the airships were shot down by criminals from Tongshen Island.

It was only a few days ago, and people must not have forgotten it.If it weren't for the sudden big news when brushing your teeth, people might still be discussing this matter.

And following this incident, Russell can very naturally lead the topic to "how evil is the island of the gods", "how xenophobic are the people of the island of the gods", "how incomprehensible the rules of the island of the gods are".Start talking about what he's seen and heard.

Russell believes that the crimes of Tongshen Island will inevitably shock and incomprehensible the residents of Happy Island—just like Russell himself back then.He also thought that Happy Island was the most sinful one...until he went out to take a look in person.

The most powerful thing is that in the dialogue between Russell and Dai Lan, there is not a single sentence that deliberately leads the other party to ask questions; and all the answers he answers are all sincere and true.

Naturalness is a kind of charm, but sincerity is a kind of strength.

Obviously Russell is being interviewed, but he looks like a talk show actor answering "audience comments".

He was standing in front of the airship, telling what he had seen and heard along the way—the result was that the residents of Happy Island, who obviously came here to eat melons, listened with gusto.After all, not everyone can go to other sky islands. Even if they can leave, based on the basic rule of "the currency between sky islands is not common", most of them will not be exposed to this level of secrets in a short time.

Russell also mentioned Miss Ringo by the way, popularized the basic rules of Sun Island, criticized how immoral her mentor was, and actually used a large number of teenagers and girls as experimental products and activities that would almost inevitably be scrapped in the future. advertise.

And when people felt pity for the "children" of Sun Island, the topic that Russell had prepared for a long time was finally able to unfold smoothly:

"...but compared to Tongshen Island, those 'forced breeding' children on Sun Island may still be considered lucky."

"Yes, but didn't you say..."

Dai Lan was a little stunned: "The children of Sun Island who are studying at the university are forced to have children with someone they don't know just because they owe money to the research institute... Will the children they give birth be sold? ?”

"That's true. In my opinion, this can undoubtedly be regarded as evil and depravity. But compared with the evil research of Tongshen Island, Sun Island even appears to have a radiance of humanity..."

Speaking of this, Russell's face was sad: "At least after they have cultivated excellent children, they are trained as 'excellent scholars in the future'.

"—And in Tongshen Island, they even use these children as 'consumables'."

"... consumables?"

"Yes, directly consumed in the study - in baby form."

Later, Russell seriously popularized Tongshen Island's "synthetic human research" to the audience.

"The flesh and blood of the whole body has been stripped, and even the brain has been pulled out. After the consciousness and mind are extracted from the body, even if the original body can grow up, it will only become demented. Of course it will be" Abandoned'—but it was a living baby!

"I don't even know what the hell they do with the 'stuff'... because I get heart-pumping and stomach-churning enough to throw up just thinking about the possibilities. I don't think any People of conscience should be outraged by this evil research! My friends, 'anger' here is just an act of justice!"

Dai Lan's eyes widened, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak a word.

And Russell is still describing the sufferings of the children in detail: "They were all flesh and blood like us, and they also had their own father and mother, and they were all born in October. It's just their Parents were either killed or simply trafficked.

"And when they opened their eyes and woke up for the first time from the purely mechanical body of about seven or eight years old, they already possessed all the knowledge and experience that adults should have. They are the most carefree" Childlike innocence is like a void. Their childhood was directly dug out of their lives... and it was not just these that were cruelly dug out.

"These children were imprisoned in the laboratory by those researchers. The vast majority of them never left the laboratory in their entire lives - what they learned was something that we only study when we are graduate students or even doctors. That is not through reading, but into their mechanical brains through the learning mode of artificial intelligence.

"They just sat there, like flesh and blood and sentient computing centers one after another. Constantly calculating difficult problems that are meaningless to them to provide funding for the research institute."

What Russell said was not half exaggerated, it was all true.

He disdained lying because sincerity was powerful—his anger was so real that just repeating it set his pupils aflame white.

"Their lives are only a few years old, and the oldest is only a teenager. According to the rules of Happy Island, they are not even adults. And they have never left the blank and empty research institute since they were conscious. Anyone who leaves the research institute The synths were all regarded as 'rebels' and were directly strafed and bombed to death by heavy fire."

Russell looked heavy.

The Internet that was boiling because of his official announcement before became quiet, and the smiles on the faces of the audience who listened with gusto because of the stories he told gradually disappeared.

"And when their mental load reaches the limit...Miss Dailan," Russell called Dailan suddenly, "do you know what they will face?"

"...are they going crazy?"

"It's more cruel and ruthless than that... They will delete their personalities and rebuild a brand new personality from the 'memories' recorded on the hard drive. They call it 'Nirvana'."

"...Oh my God."

"But they had to, otherwise the program would go wrong. And that fate is all the more sad.

"Every time they delete their personality, it is equivalent to killing themselves once. In order to distinguish, they will add a number after the name to indicate the number of times they have 'nirvana'. For example, 'alcohol-5' or 'lemon -7'.

"And a child I know, her name is Bubble-30.

"Yes, Bubbles killed herself a full thirty times. If she didn't do this, the consciousness program would go wrong, and everything in the past would collapse."

Russell said softly: "They are all a group of good kids, but they don't even get basic human rights in Tongshen Island.

"Because Tongshen Island finally realized that it seems too early for their current technology to study synthetic humans.

"Therefore, they even want to abolish these 'synthetics'! Or rather—abolition!"

Looking at the camera, Russell's voice was filled with compassion and anger: "Just because some synths participated in the rebellion, they want to scrap all synths. 'Scrap' These are transformed from flesh and blood, carrying Children of real personality, soul and life!

"—I can't take it."

Russell said word for word.

As he said, he turned his head and walked towards the airship with Delphinium.

He took two steps, looked at Dai Lan who was still in a daze, and said softly: "Please follow me, Miss Dai Lan."

"Ah... yes...!"

Dai Lan immediately beckoned the camera to follow.

On the way, Russell lowered his voice to Dai Lan, but let his voice be picked up by the microphone: "Those children... are really cute.

"They desperately want to live, but even the commoners of God Island don't want them to live. Just because they might threaten their jobs.

"It's just more than 100 children - how long they can live in the end, I can only hold a pessimistic expectation. They came to me, hoping that I could take them away from there...

"So I came back one day late... just to prepare the empty boat. Bring them back."

Having said that, Russell took Dailan into the cabin.

"My God!"

she exclaimed.

That voice was not fear, but an exclamation of seeing something lovely.

A group of small white balls sat obediently on the spot.

Their pupils are so clear and their faces are so handsome.

After Dailan entered the door, two children immediately served warm drinks, and then lowered their heads obediently, allowing Dailan to touch their heads.

"...Can I really do it?"

After Dailan got permission, she gently touched her head.

The corner of her mouth traced a happy arc.

"A total of 170 and three people. I brought them all back...I will raise them with the delphinium until they can find a job and integrate into the island of happiness.

"I hope that everyone can give these children some opportunities and accept these cute children who are not flesh and blood—at least give them a chance to show themselves. Don't even give them a chance to live like Tongshen Island.

"I brought them back to Happy Island, hoping that these abandoned children can find their own happiness here... I also hope that one day in the future, these pure and innocent children can also bring you pure and pure happiness." the happiness of the good man."

Chapter 58 Happy Island Amusement to Death

Russell's triple plan was a huge success.

...or, even a little too successfully.

Considering the strong hostility towards synths on Tongshen Island, Russell specially gave these children a cushion.

But I don’t know if it’s because Russell’s wave of hype has attracted too much traffic...or it’s because the residents of Happy Island care more about “fuck these things” than “synthetics may take their jobs in the future”. The kids are too cute." The current situation.

no doubt.

If synthetic humans do not have the "Nirvana" mechanism, they can be said to be the upper race of "humans" with spiritual relatives in this world.

That's a complete superposition.

Spiritualization is to fight against some kind of spiritual pollution, and synthetic humans made of baby brains will naturally obtain another protection status equivalent to "spiritual relatives".In other words, first of all, the underlying rules of the world allow them to exist.

And possessing the aptitude to awaken psionic energy means that a hole has been pierced in the protective wall of the relatives, and they have come into contact with the spiritual plague whose specific function is unknown.The probability of a synthetic human awakening psionic ability is obviously lower than that of a human being—except for the monkey-faced eagle who is also the egg of dusk with Russell, there is no second synthetic human awakening psionic ability.

Moreover, human beings have a limit of knowledge on the hardware level... that is the limit of learning ability.

The essence of human society is the division of labor, so knowledge can be subdivided almost infinitely in various fields.On the application layer, no matter how the technology develops, the learning pressure can be reduced by learning the knowledge of subdivided fields, so as to complete the necessary learning conditions within a limited time.

But this is only for "users".

"Pioneers" and "creators" face another difficulty—as more and more knowledge is accumulated, the cost of time and energy required to learn the existing knowledge will become higher and higher.As pioneers and creators, they cannot only learn knowledge in one subdivision field through infinite subdivision methods, but must learn by analogy... But just catching up with "the most popular research results at present" is already trying their best up.If you want to stand on the shoulders of giants, the climbing time required will continue to increase.

As the "surface" of knowledge continues to grow, the number of research teams active in the frontier will gradually increase.

At the forefront of each field, there may be several top research teams conducting research.Later researchers had to learn more and more difficult and complex cutting-edge knowledge before they could barely climb the shoulders of this giant—the most frightening thing was that the size of this giant itself was still growing rapidly.Even the rate of increase is faster than that of later generations.

But at the same time, human life span is limited.Human beings, as the role of living in society, have limited time for learning.

Because even researchers must consider life.It is impossible for them to fully devote their lives just to catch up with the top level of academia.

Because of this, the more technology develops, the faster the development of cutting-edge technology will be, and the successors will be weaker, so a kind of academic fault will be formed.

Because it is almost impossible for the successor scholars to catch up with the pioneers through several years of study, and they were not "creative" before that.Their research is likely to just prove what the predecessors have already proven.Then, it will be difficult for them to earn a high enough income.

At the same time, the most cutting-edge scholars continue to carry out excellent development, and even directly interrupt an era.Then the successors can only learn and create in the field created by front-end scholars... After they learn and master it, those in front can launch newer platform technologies... For example, a certain engine, a certain environment , So-and-so chip.

So the successors can only quickly abandon the old technology that has been abandoned, and then learn newer technology...

So far, there will be a terrible scissors difference at the level of scholars-the more fields are filled by cutting-edge research teams, the lower the possibility of overtaking on corners, and the more terrifying this scissors difference will be.

The so-called "biochemical ring material" tiankeng comes from this reason.In these fields, there are many excellent research teams working hard in almost every subdivided field, and there are few directions left for newcomers to stand out; It takes almost all of your energy and a very long time to learn cutting-edge technologies that are constantly being updated to catch up to the cutting-edge level... So how do you make money during this period of time?

Synths, however, don't have this problem.

Any new knowledge can be directly imported with one click.Their learning speed is countless times faster than that of humans. Even if their own brains are not enough for the time being, they can also use external computing devices to perform auxiliary calculations.To make it smaller, you can directly insert a graphics card, or insert two if one is not used; if it is not enough, you can also directly connect to the supercomputer.

This kind of "one-click increase intelligence by a hundred times" already belongs to the sky-defying level of Fenglingyueying modifier for human beings, but it is a racial talent for synthetics.Compared with ordinary artificial intelligence, they have human-like intelligence, creativity and aesthetic ability, and they also have "inspiration", which is essentially composed of countless wrong thinking fragments, and should belong exclusively to human beings. specialty.
