Chapter 3151

Penny felt like she was in a dream, in which she moved with the help of a group of scientists.

At first, this home was like a prison, colorless, gray, and despairing.

But soon it became colorful and would change its form of expression based on some of its own ideas.

This feeling was magical. In a way, she felt like she was the god in this small space!

This dream was very enjoyable, but unfortunately I woke up soon.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the ceiling of the operating room. The entire operation lasted about ten minutes.

Is this because Penny is someone close to Lynch? If she were an ordinary person?

All they have to do is go to the nearest service center and get a replacement brain computer.

But Penny and the little maid were still artificially operated by scientists.

The surgery was performed many times and was completed without any accidents or risks. In fact, the biggest risk of this kind of surgery is the mixture of personality and chaotic code.

As for other physical surgeries, they are nothing more than putting some neuron connectors into the brain, nothing more.

"Did you succeed?" Penny held the edge of the bed and tried to sit up, but failed.

The effects of the anesthetic have not completely worn off, and she still cannot control her body well.

"They say it's very successful and you'll see the benefits very quickly."

This sentence is said to Penny, but also to others.

The bodies of two robots and two genetic modulators were sent over. The little maid and Penny suddenly rolled their eyes, but the next moment, the two dormant robots were awakened.

"This... is incredible!" Penny's voice came out from one of them, and the little maid also observed her body curiously.

Aurora on the side explained, "In a sense, you are now a special set of data. All instruments that can be controlled electronically and have corresponding interfaces. Theoretically, you can all access it and have certain capabilities." Control."

"But I don't mind if you run around, if you go to some special places, such as a small box specially designed to trap you."

"The moment you enter, the other party cuts off the power, and you will be trapped in that small box forever."

"I have temporarily closed your free movement interface. When you move to the main material universe, you need to apply through the server. You can only move after approval..."

Everything was successful. Nothing different appeared between the two of them. Unlike the previous evolution, which would have different personalities, there was no change between them and the past.

Penny was very interested in her new body and the robot body, while the little maid stood beside her obediently.

The success of the two made some other people feel a little moved. After all, the most popular place now is the virtual world, not here.

But there are also some people who are unwilling to do that, and Kathleen and Severella are typical representatives.

"Are you sure you don't want to change?" Lynch asked Kathleen.

Severella is not here, she is in the virtual world. Although she also likes that place, she does not intend to really "enter" there.

The reason she gave Lynch was "don't mind my business". Just like her in the past, she was very independent and very individual.

Kathleen lived here, and she didn't know how to answer Lynch's question.

"I don't know, if I become a piece of code, am I still me?"

She shook her head, looking at Penny who was feeling a new life with envy and resistance. She couldn't accept this.

"I always feel that going against the laws of nature is not a good thing, Lynch, although we have come very far on this matter."

"Are there many people like me?"

she asked.

Lynch did not answer, and Aurora gave Kathleen an answer on his behalf, "About four percent of natural people are unwilling to become digital beings."

This is about 30 million people. Kathleen did a simple calculation and said with a smile, "It seems to be quite a lot. I am also part of these 30 million people. This makes me feel better. At least I am not a minority." people."

In fact, it is also a very small minority of people, 4%, which cannot be the majority.

"Then we may be separated for a long time." Lynch still wanted to work hard, "If what you care about is your body, we can preserve it well and recreate an identical one anywhere through genetic technology. come out."

Kathleen stopped, held Lynch's hand and looked at him, "That day when my mother took you away, I understood a truth."

"No matter how good people are, they will be separated one day. The difference is whether it is temporary separation or permanent separation."

"Actually, sometimes when I look back now, I realize that I have done many, many great things."

"Although it had your help in it."

"Members of Congress, mayors, state councils, Congress, even the president of the federation."

"Some things I'm willing to do, but some things I haven't thought about, and I'm fifty, Lynch."

"Even though I look young, I've already lived more than half my life, by the old calculations."

"In the next part of this journey, I want to live according to my own ideas."

She turned to look at her daughter who was surrounded by people, "At least she will stay with me."

Lin Qi held her hand, "I didn't expect you to be so stressed."

Catherine smiled and shook her head, pulling Lin Qi to continue walking forward, just like the night after high school get out of class more than 30 years ago, relaxed and without any burden.

"Just a different stage."

"I have always wanted to catch up with you."

"I also thought I could catch up with you one day."

"But now I realize that I can't catch up with you."

She glanced at Aurora who was always standing behind Lin Qi. Although she was standing here in the form of a robot, she always felt that this was just its disguise.

Aurora's wide-angle camera captured this detail, and the humanized mechanical facial expression showed a smile that was very in line with human aesthetics, but it was now a robot, and the more real it was, the more frightening it felt.

Catherine retracted her gaze and continued to look at the clear sky without a single cloud. "I've been chasing for too long. I don't know what it feels like to stop."

"If I can't catch up, I should take a break."

"Sometimes I think it's good to see you running in front. At least you can keep running towards a farther place with our expectations, just like we can follow you to such a distant place."

"Whenever you want to take a break, you can come back to us."

"And I believe that this is always your home. Even if you don't come back for a while, you will come back one day."

Lynch didn't force Catherine to change her mind. Everyone has their own way of living that they think is comfortable.

Because of the excellent effects on Penny and the little maid, except for the two women, everyone else underwent the digital life transformation surgery.

Sera actually wanted to, but so far, scientists have not conducted similar experiments on individuals who are genetically close to Lynch, so they are not sure whether they can undergo the surgery and whether the results after the surgery are consistent with the expected results.

But they have begun to prepare for this experiment, and Lynch has contributed some genetic genes for this.

If Catherine's "tiredness" and Severilla's "leave me alone" were unexpected, then the biggest surprise was Connor.

He also refused to become a digital life, even though Lynch suggested that he would go outside the solar system to have a look. If Connor was transformed into a digital life, he could also go there to have a look, and he could return to the solar system anytime and anywhere, without delaying everything he did in the virtual world.

He refused.

And the reason was very appropriate.

"My daughter's armband had a problem. She just forgot to take it off when swimming, and its shell was hit once."

"Then it got water in it, and then it was completely broken."

"The after-sales staff came to take a look and thought it was not worth repairing, so they replaced it with a new one."

"I still remember the appearance of the disassembled armband at that time. Some of the electronic components inside were burnt, as if... dead."

"Lynch, do you think that electronic life can really exist forever without fear of any threat?"

"Will there be a day when we will meet someone who can kill digital life?"

"For example... they use a digital bomb, or... something else. You know I don't know much about this, but I believe you must have a way to control these or destroy them."

"If we meet them, do we have the power to resist?"

This is indeed a very strange sense of crisis, and there is a certain possibility of encountering it.

Although Aurora is the first silicon-based life in this universe, as it and the solar system civilization expand, more forces will inevitably notice this.

Will they develop some weapons specifically for Aurora and the robot army?

To be honest, Lynch thought this was very likely and would happen soon.

Lynch didn't know whether those weapons could destroy digital life.

However, he asked scientists to select a group of people to verify Connor's concerns. The first thing to do was to find a way to destroy digital life...

In this seemingly calm and ordinary life, the prototype of the short-distance high-frequency jump cabin was produced.

It can jump in the universe continuously at a speed close to the speed of light.

The experiment was not very smooth. The first two jumps met the requirements and predictions of scientists.

On the third jump, it disappeared...
