Chapter 605 Brain in a Vat

Brain in a vat!

This name, Arthur is very familiar!

But not in this world, but before he crossed over!

It was in a book he once read called "Reason, Truth and History", the creator Hilary Putnam put forward a thoughtful hypothesis!

A person (presumably yourself) has been operated on by evil scientists, the brain has been cut from the body and placed in a jar of nutrient solution to keep the brain alive.

The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, and the computer is programmed to send information to the brain so that the person maintains the illusion that everything is perfectly normal.

Let him think that people, objects, the sky, etc. all still exist and are still normal, and his own movements and physical sensations are no different from the outside world, and he will not notice the difference!

Even this brain can also be input or intercepted memory, delete and modify the memory that is unfavorable or may be detected!

And the most basic, and most terrifying, question about this hypothesis is: "How can you guarantee that you are not in this predicament?"

Of course, given the differences in the world, the world could not have that book and the information Arthur had collected.

This so-called brain in a vat is definitely not the same as the brain in a vat he had seen in the book, or its function is different!

The brain in a vat before crossing is an imaginary!

And the brain in a vat here should mean literally!

That's a brain in a vat!

From that diary in Charlotte, Arthur can get a message!

That is, Archibald formulated a so-called immortality plan, transferred his consciousness into an instrument, and wanted to extend his lifespan in disguise and achieve immortality!

And the so-called brain in a vat should be that instrument!

Of course, whether it is specific or not, Arthur is not sure until he sees it with his own eyes!

"Brain in a vat?" Arthur asked in confusion as he looked at Christine Andre after he regained his senses.

He wants to know more information to confirm his thoughts!

"That's right!" Christine Andre nodded, and explained slowly in a hoarse voice, "Actually, I heard this name from the beginning!"

Speaking of this, Christine Andre's slightly cloudy eyes flashed a flash of memory, and while recalling, she recounted, "Back then, when I first entered the palace, I was a little maid. , I was assigned to an old mama who has worked in the palace for a long time!"

"That old maid was the first batch of maids who entered the palace when the kingdom was first established. Because they were neither married nor family, they never went out and stayed in the palace!"

"The old lady is very good! She especially likes to tell me the rules, stories, and rumors in the palace, and tell me what can't be done in the palace, what are the taboos, and prevent me from making mistakes! And the brain in the jar is also her. Tell me one of the true stories!"

"She said that when she first entered the palace, that is, when the kingdom was just established, there was a time when His Majesty Martin would go to a dark room in the palace every day, and talk to himself strangely for a long time! And His Majesty Martin It also expressly prohibits other people from entering or even approaching that room!"

"But, it backfired! Maybe it's because of His Majesty Martin's ban, or because of the mystery of that room, in short, many people in the palace are very curious about it!"

"And after a while, this curiosity finally reached its peak! In the end, four young and daring waiters couldn't help it. After discussing with each other, they decided to secretly go to that room to have a look. what is inside!"

"It was very dark that night, and the dark clouds covered the moon and the starry sky, and the four young waiters took advantage of the blurred weather and their familiarity with the palace patrol guards, and quietly touched the courtyard where the room was located. middle!"

"The yard is very quiet, because His Majesty Martin does not let people enter there, not even the patrolling people are allowed to approach there, the yard seems deadly silent!"

"After the four young waiters came in, in order to avoid being discovered, after a brief discussion, it was decided that three people would go in and have a look, and one waiter would let out the air!"

"And after the agreement was reached, one of them stayed, and the other three cautiously came to the front of the room and quietly opened the door!"

"The inside of the door is very dark, there are no lights, and because there was no moonlight that day, after opening the door, even two meters away, the waiters could not see clearly, so they inevitably felt a little uneasy and nervous in their hearts. !"

"But after looking at each other, the curiosity in their hearts finally overcame the fear of the dark, so they took courage, walked in, and closed the door!"

"After that, about five minutes later, the young man who stayed to let out the air realized that something was wrong. It's been so long, not only did the other three waiters not come back, but there was no movement at all!"

"What should I do? The waiter who let go of the wind is a little panicked! He has carefully investigated before coming, and he knows that if they stay there for a long time, they may be discovered by the guards on patrol!"

"After thinking about it for a while, the waiter gritted his teeth, turned around and came to the door of the room, ready to go in and have a look. He called the others and asked them to leave quickly to avoid being discovered and caught!"

"And just as he was about to open the door, his hair suddenly stood up, and for no reason he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart! He had a feeling that when he opened the door, he would see some terrifying images that he didn't want to see. !"

"What should I do? The waiter has begun to raise funds! If they don't go in, the three of them will stay here for a long time, and they may be discovered and arrested, and eventually they will confess themselves, and if they go in, there will be some Inexplicable anxiety!"

"After a long time of preparation, the fear of being punished has overcome the fear! He decided to go in and have a look! However, he is not reckless, so he is ready to see the situation inside before deciding whether to enter!"

"So, he squatted down, gently pushed open a gap in the door, widened his eyes, and carefully looked at the situation inside!"

"I didn't see anything!"

"Because it was so dark, he didn't see anything!"

"But just as he was about to get up, there was a 'boom' and a flash of thunder flashed in the sky!"

"While he was startled, he also used the thunder light to see the scene in the room clearly!"

"A brain, a brain that is no different from the pig brain he has seen before, is placed in a glass cover like a fish tank full of unknown liquid!"

"He was startled again! He couldn't help but widen his eyes, and even his breathing became a little short!"

"Just when he was courageous, endured the fear in his heart, and wanted to see the situation in the room clearly, the room fell into darkness again, and he couldn't see anything clearly!"

"And just when he got up and wanted to leave here, there was a 'boom' and thunder sounded again!"

"A bloodshot eye suddenly appeared behind the door that was less than two or three centimeters away from him, staring at him viciously!"

"He was frightened again! But this time, there was no back! After being frightened several times, he was completely stunned!"

"And the next day, when he woke up in his room, he found that it was gone, everything was gone, and the other three waiters seemed to have evaporated from the world and could not be found, and when he took someone to look there again , that house disappeared along with the yard, leaving only an open space!"

"At that time, this incident caused a lot of trouble, but in the end, it was suppressed by His Majesty Martin at the time, and a gag order was issued, so that people should stop mentioning this matter, and finally it was over!"

Listening to this slightly terrifying horror story told by Christine Andre, Arthur's heart was not disturbed.

He knew that the most circulating in the palace was this slightly legendary horror story!

Most of these stories are adapted from real events in the palace, nine out of ten are true, and a small part is completely false. I don't know who made the rumors after changing and changing again and again!

Whether it is true or false is entirely personal judgment!

And this story, Arthur judged should belong to the kind of real event adaptation.

Because he remembered that there was a record in a certain book in the palace. Not long after the establishment of the kingdom, there was an inexplicable disturbance in the palace, and it was quickly suppressed by the ancestors!

As for what the inexplicable storm was, the book didn't say anything about it!

However, according to the time of the story told by Christine Andre, the two are just right on each other!

In other words, there is real news in the story told by Christine Andre!

Thinking like this, Arthur closed his eyes and meditated, recalling the story carefully, and extracting some useful information from it!

After a while, Arthur opened his eyes again, looked at Christine Andre with burning eyes, and asked, "Then do you know where the house was originally?"

"I don't know!" Christine Andre shook her head slowly and explained, "When I knew it, it had been several decades, and the buildings in the palace had also changed, so I wasn't sure. There, it can only be confirmed in the northeast corner of the palace!"

"Um!"

Hearing this, Arthur nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll trouble you this time, I'll take you back in person!"

"Don't bother, Your Majesty, you are busy with your business, don't delay the business! I can still walk, let me walk by myself, and at my age, if I can walk around, I can walk more!" Steen Andre said, and stood up by herself.

"In that case, I'll let him take you home!" Arthur said after pondering for a while, pointing to the waiter beside him.

"Uh good!" After glancing at the waiter, Christine Andre nodded slowly and accepted Arthur's kindness!

"Send her back! Before you go, go get one million Saint Martin coins and send them over together!" Arthur instructed the waiter.

After speaking, without waiting for Christine Andre to refuse, Arthur added with a smile, "You can't refuse this! Apart from the revenge for the information you provided this time, this money is also for your service to the palace. Some rewards for your contributions!"

"That's good!" Christine Andre, who had originally wanted to refuse, accepted Arthur's kindness with some emotion.

Immediately, under the watchful eyes of Arthur, Christine Andrei slowly left the room with the help of the waiter!

"Where is it?" Arthur thought silently as he watched her leave.

And this time!

"Found it!" Robin's voice came from the side.
