Global Famine: My items can be automatically upgraded.

Cold concrete floor, dim light.

Rusty steel bars formed a depressing and cramped steel cell. Through the gaps between the bars, one could see that the dark space was filled with dozens of such cages.

In the cage, there were corpses one after another.

Shen Bei stood at the entrance of the military base. Perhaps it was because time was passing faster that all the time cycles here were broken.

The air was also filled with a shabby and unpleasant smell, a mixture of blood, sweat, and excrement, which was very stimulating to people's sense of smell.

Shen Bei felt as if he was in a trance. If the evil golden tree species had not died, he would have seen a different scene.

This cage is full of lively "people"

But now, as time passed, they had all turned into dry bones.

"Did I get the order wrong? I should enter this military base first. Maybe I can interrogate the humans here to find out what they are doing."

Shen Bei went deeper and thought at the same time.

After all, why would a military base have such a prison?

Moreover, the evil species will not move and will not pose much threat to him.

But after thinking about it carefully, Shen Bei felt relieved.

"If I don't break the time loop, I, an outsider, will have to fight to get in."

Shen Bei shrugged.

Shen Bei didn't hate fighting. In fact, he really liked the moment when bullets shot into the human body and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

This will make Shen Bei feel the joy of being "alive".

Prove your own worth through the death of others.

hiss~~

This is more addictive than drugs.

This is also why in the old days, there were many serial killers who enjoyed killing people.

Such a wonderful feeling can only be understood but not described.

But now that there is no fighting, Shen Bei naturally feels relaxed and forgets about unnecessary fighting.

"Maybe there's some information that can give me some understanding."

At this time, Shen Bei had already crossed the prison area and arrived at the intersection of the military base.

Glancing to the right.

Just walk in.

Walking silently in the steel corridor.

"The experimental area, the dining hall, the rest area for researchers and guards, the storage area, and a room of unknown purpose. Every passage has cameras..."

Shen Bei observed and talked to himself.

These rooms are filled with bones.

It's like a computer program that was running normally suddenly crashed.

There are slogans hanging on the walls and nameplates on the room doors.

Shen Bei roughly understood that this was a military base that combined research in both the human body and intelligence.

"High temperature, high pressure, low temperature, low pressure, bioelectrical stimulation of various frequencies, and sleep deprivation for seven consecutive days or even longer."

Shen Bei was flipping through the human experiment records in a room, summarizing and generalizing them.

Researchers will deprive prisoners of their senses for a long time in a sealed space where they cannot hear any sound, are in absolute darkness... As materials used in the laboratory to study the potential of life and explore the mysteries of human awakening, the pain they have to endure during the experiment is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"The timing is quite coincidental. It happens to be the junction where the old era has not yet ended and the new world has not yet formed."

Shen Bei licked his lips: "There is a strong curiosity between the lines..."

All the prisoners in this military base are like little white mice that are powerless to resist. Most of the prisoners who enter the laboratory either die on the spot, suffer from nerve necrosis or complete mental breakdown and turn into lunatics, idiots, and dementia. After they lose their research value, they are directly put on the dissection table.

For many people, being able to die completely in the experiment is actually a relief.

The entire underground experimental base is half the size of a football field and is filled with a rough industrial style. It is more like a large prison than a base.

Shen Bei made many twists and turns, passed through one electronic access control after another, and finally came to a spacious hall with fairly exquisite decoration.

Shen Bei looked up at the nameplate on the door: Comprehensive Ethics Argumentation Room.

Shen Bei looked at the nameplate, feeling a little confused.

Argument?

It is clearly a human experiment base, so is there any moral ethics that need to be argued?

Isn’t this taking off your pants and farting?

It's already done. If you hesitate, you will fail.

Shen Bei was not encouraging this behavior, but it was the time when the old era and the new world were transitioning.

If you don't study it, other countries will do it.

The human body’s special abilities, the application of intelligent AI, etc.

If you lag behind, you will be beaten. The Chinese people never forget this and it is engraved in their bones.

At this critical juncture, what kind of moral and ethical arguments are there?

Shen Bei pushed the door open.

The inside was already in a dilapidated state.

Several skeletons fell to the ground.

If it is within a time loop, there should be a "cognitive" argument going on.

Shen Bei looked around the huge conference table.

Each of these skeletons was holding a piece of information in their hands.

On the title page were written in large letters: They are made of meat?!

These words made Shen Bei stunned.

Obviously, this is a question that intensifies the question of biological composition.

"Is not this nonsensical?"

Shen Bei grabbed a piece of information and asked, "If humans aren't made of meat, what else can they be made of?"

Shen Bei became interested.

I want to see what these people are discussing and arguing about.

The information in my hand has been corroded by time and has become dilapidated.

The paper is like the ashes of burnt paper money.

Shen Bei carefully turned to the first page, and the other pages were all scattered.

Shen Bei looked up at the main seat in the conference room, where there was a computer.

"There should be an electronic version of the discussion at this meeting."

Shen Bei felt a little relieved.

He looked down at the page in his hand again, the only thing he could still see clearly was the page number and text.

The text begins without saying anything.

Instead, a clip from a science fiction novel was played.

Shen Bei read it roughly and felt numb all over. Suddenly, he felt that his thinking had risen to a higher level.

The chapter begins with a short story.

Said there were two shocked aliens.

They disguised themselves as humans and sat in a roadside snack bar, cigarettes dangling from their lips, trying to observe the creatures around them.

The two aliens had a very strange idea: they were surprised that "humans seemed to be made entirely of meat."

They find it incredible that the body can produce thoughts independently of machines.

"Thinking meat! Do you want me to believe that there is thinking meat?" an alien laughed.

"Yes," the other replied. "Thinking flesh! Conscious flesh! Loving flesh! Dreaming flesh! Flesh is everything! Do you understand?"

Just a few words almost made Shen Bei doubt his life.

Isn’t it normal for humans to think?

It's surprising that the stone speaks.

But from the perspective of aliens, the fact that "meat" can think and talk is indeed a problem!

What humans dare not believe is the opposite concept.

The idea that consciousness can exist outside the body—in the silicon and metal hardware of an AI system like ChatGPT or Dr. Batu’s SP module—sounds like something out of an alien.

Can a mind really be made of metal and silicon?

Silicon with consciousness! Silicon that dreams!

Shen Bei took a breath of cold air.

"No wonder it's called the Argumentation Room. This topic is really interesting!"

When Shen Bei was thinking about looking at other information, the paper had been completely shredded and turned into dry powder.

He ran a few steps to the main seat in the conference room and turned the computer over.

Directly remove the hard drive circuit board, etc.

He threw it out the window and shouted, "Zhi Ling, suck it away, analyze and summarize the contents, and report back to me!"

"Received, parsing in progress..."

Lingxi Zhiling responded.

Shen Bei searched the conference room again, but found nothing valuable. He left and went to the armory to collect explosives.
