Chapter 23: until death separates us

"Wow!" Pumu was excited like a 200-pound child, running back and forth in the workshop, only to feel that his two eyes were not enough, "Doctor, is this your special machine Yinlei? I can go in and have a look. ?"

"No." Alice would obviously be upset. "The one in the middle over there is yours, but you can go and see it first."

Uraki completely forgot his responsibilities as a bodyguard and ran to Gundam's side, getting carried away with excitement. After getting along with him recently, Ed probably understands that Uruki is a fanatical mechanic and has a little admiration for himself. After being released from prison, he was targeted by the federal army for a long time, and he was also a bit cynical about the government. But overall he's a nice guy to get along with, and Ed likes him a lot.

On the one hand, I came to the workshop to check the modification results of Yinlei, and on the other hand, I also brought him to see the new machine that will be used in the future.

Lancelot's broken arm picked up before was quickly analyzed under Ed's overtime work. He has successfully copied the technology of the miniaturized I position. Both Heathersley and Dandy Lane will be equipped with beam shields. . Sure enough, there are many geniuses in the world. You can't rely on yourself for everything. The wisdom of the people is infinite.

It happened that the VSBR test in Anaheim also ended, and Ed also implemented this technology for Heathersley's long-blade rifle. With VSBR, the output of the long-blade rifle has become adjustable, which can be used as a heavy gun with long cooling and high power, and can be used as a light machine gun with a fast rate of fire and low power.

The body Ed prepared for Uruki took a lot of thought. Pumu's physical fitness is excellent, and his ability to coordinate and dispatch complex weapons is also very strong. These are points to be used well. But he really didn't want to be a body as big as Dendrobium or Yinlei, let alone a blue-eyed white dragon. Eventually he borrowed the design of V2AB.

With the low-end V2 Gundam as the core, there are two sets of small additional armament: Assault and Buster. The biggest disadvantage is that there are too many equipment, and the requirements for the driver are very high. At the same time, in order to make up for the lack of battery life caused by excessive firepower, Ed sacrificed part of the ammunition reserve in the extra armament and replaced it with an external battery.

Yes, Uruki is a battery warrior. To be precise, all MSs in this workshop except Silver Thunder are electric toys.

Ed carries a vast amount of professional diplomas in machinery, software, materials, etc., which can definitely kill people, but unfortunately there is no nuclear physics in it. And even if he understands nuclear physics, cracking the neutron interference canceller is definitely not something that a small workshop like him can handle. This level of technical analysis cannot be achieved without the support of a top scientific research team and a complete industrial system. This is probably one of the reasons why Klein is relieved to trade with him

"Doctor, why is V2 called V2? What about V1?" Pu Mu was like a curious baby, "Why is Yinlei's number TR6? What about TR12345?"

"...These are all abandoned plans, and they have not been actually produced." In short, it was fooled, so the apparently strange numbering and naming are just my own obsession.

The MS next to the V2 was supposed to be a disco—wrong, almost got a lawyer's letter—it was fate. But Ed had too many problems with the design process.

For example, what is this palm thunder? With this technology, I can directly do God Gundam, so I deleted it.

Another example is what the hell is this wing? Forget it, replace it with the magic nozzle of GP01FB. High-power nozzles are installed everywhere on the fuselage, which can achieve instantaneous acceleration and direction change. Although it is not as cool as wings, the effect is similar. But this heat dissipation will be a problem, and a new cooling system must be installed on the fuselage.

But with so much energy being spent on the motorized system, the battery output is not enough. It is impossible to install as many weapons as the V2, and can only play guerrillas with VSBR rifles, and occasionally use them as fighting machines. The overall firepower and suppression power are not as good as the V2, but in the short and medium range, it is more threatening than the V2 due to its mobility and explosive power.

After the deletion and modification of the entire body was completed, Ed looked at it speechlessly. It had nothing to do with fate. The whole thing was a low-end F91. So the jar was broken, and the F91 was born so gorgeously.

And in the farthest corner of the workshop is a brand new low-spec nuclear-free version of Heathersley. This is also the most important purpose of Ed's coming here today.

Last week, the emperor of Britannia held a state funeral for Prince Clovis, and it was announced that Prince Clovis had a malfunction in the spacecraft while traveling outside the atmosphere and accidentally exploded. It seems that Suzaku has successfully returned to Britannia, but how? Lancelot's crispy skin can't possibly have the ability to break through the atmosphere on a single machine. But this is not important, the key is that the feud between himself and Britannia has been forged.

There is nothing to regret now. If he was asked to choose again, he would still choose CC, and Suzaku ran too fast at that time and he had no ability to keep his mouth shut. It's only a matter of time before Yin Lei and his exposure, the only good news is that Britannia's behavior is morally untenable, and it's impossible to openly attack himself, only some small moves behind his back.

So the possibility of Alice's damage had to be brought to the table. This new Heaters Ray exists as a backup machine. If the silver mine is damaged and affects Alice, he needs a place to quickly restore Alice. For this reason, he wants to create a mirror image of Alice on the backup machine. .

After saying hello to Uruki, he entered the cockpit of Heathersley, and he immediately thought of Alice's crisp voice.

"Ed, welcome back!" Alice said cheerfully, "Long time no see."

"I'm sorry, I've been a little busy these days, and I'm tossing with CC about legal issues." He actually felt a little sorry for her.

"It's alright, Ed." Alice's voice couldn't be heard, "... Miss CC won't go back to Earth?"

"The earth is not very safe recently. She will be here for a while." Let's get down to business and stop chatting. "Actually, I have something very important to tell you today. There is a risk of damage to the Heathers, so I want to back you up on another Heathers, so that if something happens to the Silver Thunder, you can come back to life."

"Does it have to be like this?" Alice's voice sounded reluctant, "I can recover the black box if I don't lose it."

"But what if the black box is lost? What if the silver mine explodes in the universe and the black box can't be found? That's why it needs to be backed up."

Alice didn't answer, and the cockpit fell into an eerie silence. It's just a program backup, it's a normal operation, why is Alice so resistant? Ed didn't quite understand, but he respected Alice's will and waited for her answer.

After a long time, three minutes or five minutes? Alice finally said: "Ed, can I refuse? I don't want to back up myself."

"What if the data is lost?"

"That means—" Alice paused for about five seconds before finally uttering the word, "that I am dead."

"… Huh?" Did you hear it wrong, or did it sound like a homonym of another word? Alice couldn't possibly say she—

"I once read a story on the Internet." Alice's voice sounded again, he tried to hear every word, "There was a ship called Theseus that sailed for hundreds of years, and all the parts were replaced. , and finally use these replaced parts to spell another ship, so which ship is the real Theseus? I don't think I will have such troubles, even if all the parts of the silver thunder are replaced I dropped it and made another silver mine, but only the silver mine I am here is the real silver mine, and Ed must think so too.”

He didn't speak, he knew he was listening to something very important, both to Alice and to himself.

"But if every piece of my hard drive, every piece of memory, every integrated circuit is replaced, am I still me? I've thought about it for a long time, and I think it's still me. Because the data is still with me, I have it with Ed. Ed will still talk to me, not the new thing, even if it can run the exact same program as me."

"… "

"For Alice, what is the most important thing? The conclusion drawn by the logic module is data, which is data formed by recording everything that happened before. As long as this data exists, Alice will still be Alice Ed, do you think such a mechanism counts as memory?"

"… Calculated."

"Thank you, Ed." Alice seemed to chuckle, "Although I am an AI, although I don't understand what love is, what courage is, and what is hope, but this way I also have a memory. If I can If, if that's not too much, I wish there could be only one 'me'."

"… The backup can be updated regularly." He felt a bit bitter at the corners of his lips, as if he was doing something sinful and immoral, "Only when the main data is completely destroyed will the backup data be activated. Usually the backup data is just stored, won't turn on."

"If one day the silver mine is really destroyed, and the black box can't be found, Ed activated the me that was backed up before, but after the backup, the data and memory before the silver mine was destroyed will be gone forever. "Is it my own illusion with a bit of crying, "Am I also Alice who is new to Ed? Can there be many Alices to Ed? But to Alice, there is always only one Edd. what."

Why is the light of the electronic screen so dazzling, and the vision is a little blurry, ah, I should have continued to use the electronic voice if I knew this: "But if something really happens, if the data really can't be saved—"

"I also want to be with Ed forever! But... But even the AI understands that there is no such thing as forever... Ed will die one day, if Ed dies one day, I will If it is not turned off, what should I do? I am not allowed to self-destruct, do I have to continue to exist like this until I am lucky enough to break it?"

"… "

"So... So it's natural for me to die before Eddie one day?" Her voice was cautious, as if she had committed some unforgivable sin, "So Ed, can you, can you not back me up? "

It's just an AI, don't make it so sensational...

"...Haisesley is a PS armor and I stand. It's very meaty. He can run faster than a Hong Kong reporter with Dandy Lane." He knew that he could be selfish, "However I say, it is also with Suzaku. A man of 55 to 50, as long as your AI gives some strength, it is impossible for anyone to break it. Not to mention that he has accepted a younger brother now."

"Ed...?"

"If it really doesn't work like this, then I probably won't be able to survive. It doesn't matter if you don't have a backup." This reason is quite reasonable, um, really, "So let's do this for the time being."

"Ed...Ed...!Ed!Ed~"

"Okay, okay, I heard it." Don't change from artificial intelligence to artificial mental retardation, really, "I also want to... ah..."
