Chapter 768 Has Your Life Always Been so Exciting?

Nolan finally knew the truth about her memory retention in reincarnation, but this truth was not so pleasant to her.

There is nothing more unacceptable than knowing that the world is a false program, is knowing that you are also a product of the program. Although Nolan is calmer and wiser than others, she is also unprepared to face this fact.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much," Lily approached the console to guide Nolan, "Oh, by the way, I didn't introduce myself just now - my name is Lily, and I will help you when you 'move' this time. Yes. I heard from the landlord that in your world, human beings have been transformed into the virtual world, right? If you think about it this way, they have actually been transformed into data. You are also data, and your soul is data. You are nothing. There’s a difference.”

Hao Ren turned his head and glanced at Lily. This husky could always help people when they least expected it. Her broad mind was really adaptable to the situation at hand.

Nolan just smiled when he heard Lily's statement: "It doesn't matter, you don't need to enlighten me specifically, I understand the truth, it's just that I felt a little uncomfortable after suddenly knowing my origin. Originally, when I first learned about the existence of the real world, I thought about myself What is it like in reality? I have also thought about what kind of life I lived before entering the virtual world... But now it seems that this is really overthinking. Did my life originally start when the virtual world is turned on? ?”

"All Drom people are on the same starting line. The planet has been completely burned down on the material level, and everyone is left with only data. In this regard, you are no different from them," Hao Ren reminded him aloud, but also I have to admit Nolan's other words, "However, the lack of 'past' is indeed a problem. After the Drom people wake up, they will recall all their lives until the ten-year period when they entered the virtual world, but your memory... I'm sorry, The beginning is really 0 and 1."

Nolan lowered her head, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking from the expression on her face. After a long time, she finally raised her face: "It doesn't matter, any kind of life is life. At least I am alive now, which is better than dying in the world." Doomsday is strong. Compared to this...what will happen to me in the future?"

Finally bringing up this topic, Hao Ren suddenly felt on pins and needles. He shook his body uneasily. This movement was keenly captured by Nolan: "Could it be that... something else happened to me?"

"According to the original plan, you should be with the other Drom people. After the eldest son reshapes the ecological circle, you can get a new body with them and enter the real world, but there is a slight problem with this process..."

As Hao Ren spoke, he observed Nolan's face. After seeing the latter's calm attitude, he was heartbroken: "Because your data encoding is incompatible with the drone link, I can only forcefully store you in my on the spacecraft host, and your soul was damaged to a certain extent during this storage process. Now the spacecraft host has recoded the damaged part. The good news is that you survived because of this. The bad news is... you have become this ship. a part of."

Nolan opened his eyes wide, as if he didn't quite understand what he meant.

"In other words, you have now changed from the mechanical AI of the Dream Ark to the mechanical AI of the Giant Turtle Platform spacecraft. Because your soul is incomplete, it now relies on calling the public data in the spacecraft to maintain operation, which is equivalent to Programs that can only run in a specific system environment, you can't escape from this system now," Hao Ren told the other party as plainly as possible, "The situation of defects and complementarity is very complex, and it is difficult to solve this problem non-destructively with conventional technical means. The problem is, in order to prevent secondary damage to your soul, I cannot perform stripping surgery on you for the time being."

It took more than ten seconds for the shocked expression on Nolan's face to fade away. She looked around uneasily - what she saw was not the scene in the spacecraft control room, but what she saw from the perspective of a built-in program inside the spacecraft host. The bizarre world of data. She murmured to herself: "Am I going to be trapped in this place from now on?"

"It shouldn't be permanent," Hao Ren told the other party the best case scenario. "The soul has the function of self-repair. This self-repair is more sophisticated than any artificial intervention. Maybe one day your soul will make up for itself. Then Then I will be able to separate you from the spaceship."

Nolan listened quietly to Hao Ren's words, but suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Do I also have a soul?"

Hao Ren nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course you do. Didn't I say it several times just now? You have a soul."

"Oh...it turns out that AI also has a soul..." Nolan muttered to himself in a low voice, but since she was only part of the spacecraft system now, this low voice was automatically amplified by the ship's host computer, and Hao Ren still listened to it. Clearly.

Nolan seemed to have noticed this, she frowned awkwardly, and then changed the subject with a smile: "Anyway, I can only accept it now. But what should I do next? What can I do here? What should we do? This empty place...has it always been like this?"

Hao Ren was just about to speak when an unexpected voice suddenly interrupted: "I'm just curious. You laymen have been studying for a long time, but no one thinks of asking the experts - I'm very knowledgeable in this area." ah!"

Hao Ren looked back and saw a blue light flying out of the console slot. The data terminal rushed to the holographic projection and started shouting: "Hey, newcomer! From now on, we are colleagues." Ha. No matter how many years of human experience you have before, it has to be cleared from the moment you become a plug-in on the host. Today, as an elder, I want to tell you some truths..."

Nolan was choked by the sudden appearance of the alloy brick and was stunned: "What... is this?"

Hao Ren poked the shell of the data terminal and made it do somersaults in the air: "You have seen it, this is Patty - this is how 'she' looks in the real world."

"This machine looks much more handsome than before!" Zhong Zhuan turned around proudly, "Look at the ridges of this machine, look at these corners of this machine, look at Spongebob on the casing of this machine... …Why is there Spongebob on the casing of this phone!”

Lily took half a step away: "I'm going to say it was posted by a bat... You don't seem to believe it."

Hao Ren looked at the terminal in surprise: "Can't you see the decals on your shell?"

"This machine suddenly found this function, isn't it?" The terminal shouted loudly, and suddenly woke up, "Hey, wait, listen to your tone... Damn it, do you often put decals on the casing of this machine?!"

Hao Ren immediately looked at Lily silently: This imaginative husky was the only one who usually put stickers on the terminal body.

Nolan stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded. It took him a long time to think about who "Patti" was. The poor fate of the blonde girl in his memory coincided with the chattering alloy brick in front of him: "You turned out to be a …By the way, what on earth is this?”

Hao Ren held up the terminal and showed it to Nolan: "This thing is called a data terminal. I have one person in my line of work. I think it's a work assistant. I got it in the first month of work."

Nolan murmured: "Is this really from work?"

The data terminal jumped out of Hao Ren's hand and dangled in front of Nolan's eyes: "Look at it, don't you think this machine looks smoother than the silly blonde girl before? And you don't have to worry about anything after seeing this machine. AI is no longer AI, right? This machine has looked like this since it came off the production line. It has always been an AI. Don’t you see that this machine is still living a healthy life! If it is not a human, it is not a human. In the future, this machine will have the opportunity to tell you The benefits of being an AI..."

The data terminal balabala said a lot, which made Nolan stunned. Hao Ren even slapped his forehead and realized one thing: no matter how he and Lily tried to persuade Nolan to be more open-minded, it was of no use. The most useful thing is to let the data terminal show Nolan the superiority of AI through personal experience. To put it bluntly, the reason why Nolan was depressed after suddenly knowing that he was not a human being was actually due to two reasons. One was the confusion about his identity, and the other was the sudden feeling of loneliness.

Now that the terminal jumped out, she finally had company.

After Nolan finally recovered from the balabala in the terminal, the first thing he did was to look at Hao Ren. His eyes made the latter cringe, and Hao Ren scratched his face: "What...are you looking at?"

Nolan had a subtle look on his face: "It's nothing, I just think it's incredible. Your female companion was a dead person at first, then turned into a senior cerebral thrombosis, and now she has even turned into a brick... Your life has always been like this. Is it exciting?"

Hao Ren: "...it has always been so exciting."
