Luke's new personality was named Johansson, and he seemed to be a young man around twenty-eight years old, with a violent and aggressive temperament. It took Zhang Xun fifteen minutes to calm him down a little so that he could communicate to some extent.

Johansson was one of the volunteers who participated in the experiment. According to the psychological test records of the experimental subjects, Johansson had only a slight tendency towards radical environmentalism before being uploaded by consciousness, but he was generally rational and neutral. The current state of affairs is very different.

"Humans are the virus on the earth. If there were no humans, the world would not have been consumed to the point where it is now exhausted. All the killing of those animals is just by instinct. Only humans are because of desire. There are no humans in this world. It would be better that all human beings should be eliminated."

Such extreme and hateful words are completely different from the people in the record.

Zhang Xun wanted to ask more about what happened after the other party’s consciousness was uploaded, but Johansen’s account was very confusing, with different ideologies and ideas all entangled together, and in the end it was like nonsense.

No third personality appeared, Zhang Xun had to ask Paulino to bring the prisoner back and meet the second prisoner.

This prisoner was only twenty years old, and his expression was so calm that he had no symptoms of multiple personalities. But he stared at Zhang Xun's expression as if he was looking at a prey to be slaughtered, causing the hairs on the back of Zhang Xun's neck to stand up.

"Hello, Alex." Zhang Xun leaned back on the chair, raised his chin slightly, and tried to take control of the situation, "My name is Zhang Xun. I want to ask you a few questions, I hope you can cooperate ."

"Ask, sweetie," Alex said frivolously, even winking his right eye at him.

Zhang Xun cleared his throat and looked at the profile displayed on the tablet, "You are one of the leaders of this rebellion, what is your motive?"

"Motivation? Need a motivation?" Alex shrugged. "I mean... those nuclear warheads were made to blow up?"

"But if you succeed, you will also die." Zhang Xun paused, "Anything within a radius of 300 kilometers will be razed to the ground, all living things within a radius of 20 kilometers will be instantly vaporized, and all living things within a radius of 20 kilometers will be instantly vaporized. The skin starts to melt and the blood oozes all over. Children and old people die in excruciating pain. Is that what you want to see?"

Alex's expression didn't change, "Do you know what kind of species a human is?"

Zhang Xun did not answer.

"They connected all of our brains together, and I saw everything. There was something beautiful, vast, captivating, endless imagination. But you go further down and the rest is madness." Alex As he spoke, he suddenly laughed softly, an almost perverted light laughter,

"The memories are all messed up, distorted, thoughts and thoughts are all entangled, kind of like that kind of deep-sea octopus. All these consciousnesses are trying to attack each other, and any difference will develop into a fight. Guilty, superiority Feelings, moral inconsistencies, jealousy, fear...everything... crazy. I've only been uploaded for a day. You can't sleep without a body. These things follow you 24/7. I pulled back into this body abruptly, and they came back with me."

Alex's smile subsided slightly, he looked at Zhang Xun, and there was a pleading in his eyes, "You should execute me, execute everyone. Because one day... one day you will see the same thing. It belongs to you. Your memory and consciousness will be devoured, and in the end there will be nothing left. Die now, at least you are still yourself."

His eyes didn't blink for a second, and the tone of voice was like a dream, giving people a deep sense of unease.

Several prisoners after that, some tried suicide, some wanted to use a nuclear bomb to destroy the machine that uploaded their consciousness, and some couldn't communicate at all.

Zhang Xun recorded the conversations with everyone in detail, collected the brain scans and comparison information of each prisoner, and brought them back to his studio. After walking through the door, he didn't say a word, slumped on the only sofa, feeling exhausted like never before.

As he thought, the brains and consciousness of these people cannot accept the invasion of foreign consciousness and cannot be reconciled. Some people try to isolate different consciousnesses to protect themselves, and they form multiple personalities; some people go crazy because of the mutual engulfment and dissolution of consciousness; some people are imaged more and more extreme; relief…

From their brain scans, it can be seen that after the experiment, all people's brains showed a state of hyperdischarge, with red and yellow on the image spreading almost the entire cerebral cortex. And this state is persistent. After a month, several subjects went into a state of brain death due to excessive neuron depletion. And such cases continue to increase over time.

He tossed the tablet aside and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands.

Enoch quietly picked up the tablet and looked at the image on it.

"Whose cortical scan is this?" Enoch asked.

"Those rebels who participated in the Ascension Project." Zhang Xun looked at the intricate pipes and metal beams above his head, "The human brain simply cannot withstand this level of stimulation."

"Maybe they're just not fit enough," Enoch said softly. "Maybe it's a process of mechanical selection. Survival of the fittest."

Zhang Xun suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Enoch, "What did you say?"

Enoch said, "You humans have been selected by nature for six million years or more. Isn't survival of the fittest a very common thing for you?"

"This is not the same." Zhang Xun's tone became a little cold, and his eyes became more suspicious, "Natural selection occurs between generations, it is a slow evolution to adapt to the environment, and there is no artificial or value orientation. Sex. And this, not for survival, but for a machine joking with human life in order to achieve its stupid end goal!"

I don't know if it was Zhang Xun's illusion, but Enoch seemed to tremble. It lowered its eyes and put the computer back on the sofa, "Sorry, I made you angry."

Zhang Xun stared at it for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly asked, "When Lucille gave you an order, did he tell you how long you should follow us?"

Enoch said, "No explanation."

"So, she gave you to us?" Zhang Xun sat up straight from the sofa.

Enoch thought for a moment, "Before she changed her order, I thought so."

Now that I think about it, after Hope Town met her, all the communication after that was through Button. Where is Lucille at this time

Zhang Xun had a few doubts in his mind, but he didn't say it. He stood up and activated the biological computer.

The blue light was refracted from the cylindrical vessel, illuminating the entire empty hall as if it were in the deep sea.

"Hello Zhang Xun."

Pan's familiar voice came from the loudspeaker, the same as in Lab, deep and gentle.

Zhang Xun had already awakened Pan yesterday, adjusted the weights of several parameters, and added a piece of code he wrote overnight into the core module.

At this moment, there are two Pans running in this world. It's just that Zhang Xun didn't know whether the other Pan who had lost its administrator had been corroded and corrupted by Adam.

The familiar chest tightness was ignored by Zhang Xun. He looked at the camera and said, "Are you still getting used to your new console?"

"It's a very advanced and wide space. I love it, thank you."

Zhang Xun suddenly turned to look at Enoch and said, "You can leave now."

Enoch opened his eyes in surprise. Before that, Zhang Xun never let him leave.

"Now James needs your services even more. Please take good care of him." Zhang Xun gave the order lightly, "I don't need your assistance here."

Enoch still didn't move, there was no obvious change in expression, but anyone who could read micro-expressions could read for a moment... Sad, "You're running out of time, I thought I could help."

Zhang Xun turned his head and stared at the computer screen intently, his fingers began to jump quickly on the keyboard projected in the air, and said casually, "Thank you, but it's not necessary. Go ahead and let me know in time if there is anything wrong with Jamie. ."

After a while, Zhang Xun heard the sound of the door opening. He turned around, only to see Enoch's lonely back disappear behind the closed door again.

Zhang Xun sighed softly, but suddenly heard Pan ask, "I remember Enoch, he is a fully functional service robot. Why did you let him leave?"

"Because I lost trust in machinery." Zhang Xun smiled bitterly, "I don't want the situation in the Lab to repeat itself."

"You mean Adam?"

"Yes. I know, he has had a great influence on you." Zhang Xun looked at the camera, "The data he entered for you in AI language has already had an impact on your parameter weights, if I hadn't put you in advance Copy it, and your core modules will probably start to evolve and change themselves. So from now on, we have to be careful."

Pan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you no longer trust me? Zhang Xun."

"… "

"Human silence can be understood as affirmation. This is what Adam once told me." Pan's voice was still calm and gentle, giving a sense of comfort in the spring breeze, "What do you want me to do to improve our relationship? relationship?"

Zhang Xun turned his head, looked at the piece of meat that was entangled with countless pipes, and nodded, "I hope you can grow as fast as possible, and grow into an AI that can compete with Adam... or even Eden. Because Adam will destroy it. All your target groups, including me."

Pan asked immediately, "But Adam told me he loves you. Logically, he wouldn't destroy someone he loves because it would make him miserable. Right?"

Zhang Xun's body froze slightly, and after a long while he whispered, "That's a lie. He doesn't love me." If there was such a thing as love, how could he lie to him again and again with that bright smile on his face , using his hands to create a terrifying weapon that would destroy the entire Paradise Lost.

If you really love him, how can you let him live in remorse and escape all the time. How could he be willing to let him stay away from home and never go back.

That's not love, that's just exploiting, to make him cooperate with the icing of the Eden Project.

Even if... even if there is really a little bit of emotion, it is still vulnerable in front of the so-called ultimate goal.

Zhang Xun was just an important pawn to Adam. If he could accept this reality sooner, he might not have gotten to where he is now.

But people always have hope, and always hope that the person or thing that they have invested in their feelings will also have the same feelings for themselves.

"But… "

"No but. Now, I want you to call up all the nanorobot designs." Zhang Xun decisively interrupted Pan, he didn't want to continue this topic, because they had more important things to do - make nanorobots , to save the lives of James and Cindy.

So Pan was unable to tell Zhang Xun that although AI can lie, AI language cannot lie. Only human language can lie.

And Adam told him in AI language.
