When things settled down, it was already winter in the southern city.
After the winter, the job of killing zombies is even more difficult. In the south, the wind and snow are heavy, and the heating supply in the shelter is somewhat insufficient. Zombies are not afraid of wind and snow, and they fight against humans in the snow. Humans always It has the upper hand, so the North now adopts a more defensive strategy.
Hao Jian also rarely does missions. After all, the safety of the refuge is still more important. Of course, the problem of hunger and cold is also a safety issue.
Lian Runing planned to tell her about the information she got from Kelly, but Hao Jian said, "You don't need to tell me too much, I want to verify something."
Lian Runing didn't know what her idea was, but he still mentioned to her that if he killed the "Apostle", he could get half of the opponent's experience.
She didn't know if Hao Jian knew about this before, but Hao Jian's behavior was a little unexpected, so she knew that Hao Jian also knew about it.
Lian Ruling then came to a conclusion based on Kelly's previous performance that this rule is hidden, that is to say, the person or force manipulating the "Apostle" will not take the initiative to tell the "Apostle" these things, but they need to find out for themselves .
And Hao Jian didn't want her to say what she had done, saying that she wanted to verify something, and gave her a hint that Hao Jian had discovered something related to them.
Although she hasn't fully figured out what happened, Lian Runing believes that her tacit understanding with Hao Jian can solve the puzzle very well.
After Hao Jian and Lian Runing were doing their own things and couldn't communicate with each other, Hao Jian still had dreams that he forgot when he woke up.
Leyan has approached her twice, but she is indifferent, and slowly Leyan will not come to her to make fun of it.
"2018" slowly discovered Hao Jian's intentions.
To be honest, "Lian Runing" is a brain cell image extracted from "Hao Jian"'s brain. Her relationship with Hao Jian is a master-slave relationship, that is, Lian Runing is the person in Hao Jian's memory.
Compared to Hao Jian, Lian Runing is a set of real fictitious data, and her role is actually a program used to stabilize the "data body".
Research has found that whether it is a "brain body" or a "data body", what they care about most often is the person or thing that occupies the most memory. After experiments, these people or things can quickly stabilize the "data body" from the unstable state of being stimulated by the outside world.
Just like when “data bodies” first enter the multidimensional information space, they are still in an active state and will subconsciously reject the contact of information that does not belong to them. And the data extracted from the "data body" about the people or things that are most important to them is like sedating the "data body", they will stabilize, and then they will become more and more convinced that everything in front of them is real.
They have experienced reality, so they believe in reality.
When researchers design a multi-dimensional information space, based on this information, they shape a trusted object for these "data bodies", or people, or environments, or things, or just a vague appeal.
For example, what was extracted from Hao Jian's memory was about Lian Runing, so in this case, Lian Runing's behavior was actually known to Hao Jian.
The multi-dimensional information space needs to delete and bury the memory of the "data body", and it will not let her expose the information of Lian Ruling before she sees it with her own eyes.
However, if Lian Runing did something that Hao Jian did not remember, it would only mean that there are two possibilities: one is that this was a program that the committee added when designing her character design; the other is that Lian Runing Lime is a conscious action!
Not to mention other things, how to be sure that Lian Runing's actions were not something that appeared in Hao Jian's memory? After all, before the data body Hao Jian met Lian Runing, there were a lot of things she didn't know, didn't she
The reason why "2018" feels abnormal is because of this!
First, there was no doomsday survival system when the "data body" body was still alive, so all the data related to this were added later.
Lian Runing's existence is itself a procedure to appease Hao Jian, so it doesn't matter if she knows about the existence of the system.
However, this does not mean that the researchers will automatically add information about the system when setting her character!
That is to say, after Lian Runing knew of the existence of the system, all her actions, if not instructed by the "data body", were her autonomous actions.
Second, on the basis of the first point, Hao Jian was unable to control Lian Ruling's behavior without having contact with Lian Runing, and there was no such thing in her memory.
After all, how can the "data body" have such a memory for something that even the body does not know
Since there is no such memory, nor is it the setting arranged by the committee for Lian Runing, there is only one possibility - that is Lian Runing's autonomous behavior.
Hao Jian has realized something now, and will start to consciously avoid Lian Runing's information, she is verifying her relationship with Lian Runing.
____
Hao Jian has indeed realized a lot of things. Although she forgot the dream when she woke up, she did it deliberately. She didn't really forget it, she just buried the dream in her deep consciousness.
The central processing terminal system could not detect her deep consciousness, and it could not detect the abnormality of Lian Ruling that only existed as a "substance". Because "2018" was not reported.
This is no longer a question of winning or losing, but he has been thinking about some questions all these time, why the committee does not allow the "data body" to awaken
The committee said that there will be legal, ethical and other issues. After all, the "data body" is just a set of data, and their brains still exist. Even if they wake up, two hundred years have passed, so what kind of identity do they want to live in the world?
What is their social identity
Are they human
They are not, they are just a set of data.
So aren't they people
They are, they have memories of their lives, and they behave and think beyond the human frame.
So will the legal and medical professions redefine the standard of life and death
A person dies, and his family converts his brain cell image into data to make a "data body", so is it still alive? To avoid paying estate tax
If everyone dies like this, does that count as immortality? Is there no death in the world
…
These kinds of issues are the ones that have been debated for decades.
"2018" has even been heard in the history lecture hall. More than 200 years ago, human beings began to argue about the beginning and end of life, and it has not stopped until now.
But so far, the mainstream idea is still that after bodily functions stop, even death. Therefore, many people think that once a person who has already died, the result is that the brain is activated and the memory of when he was a human is restored. This is against human ethics and should be banned.
It is also because of this that the committee has to prevent the "data body" from awakening. After all, they are also official institutions. It would be bad if they were attacked by other countries in the alliance because of this.
It's just that "2018" is confused. If Hao Jian has awakened, then she doesn't exist as "it" anymore. After he reported it, he let the committee destroy her, didn't he kill someone indirectly
But what can he do if he doesn't report it? The central processing terminal system will one day detect it and destroy it.
____
Hao Jian knew nothing about the troubles of "2018" and was not interested. The scene in the dream was very real, and she also told her through her subconscious that Lian Ruling was not a fictional character, and their relationship was not systematically designed.
In their real memory, they met earlier than in this world, and they have experienced more than now.
They were born and died together, experienced the blow of losing their relatives, experienced the pain of being betrayed by their friends, and faced the cruelty of the world together...
That world was much crueler than it is now, but they walked over step by step, she joined the escort team, and Lian Runing, like this world, was engaged in scientific research, and they never left each other.
Then it all ended in an accident. When she was escorting the researchers who were out for research, she was scratched by a zombie on her ankle.
She knew that she could not live, but if Lian Ru Ning knew, the other party would definitely do what she promised, even if she became a zombie, she would never leave her.
She can't let Lian Runing do this, because even if she is careful, she will still have the possibility of hurting Lian Runing, and in this way, Lian Runing will also become a zombie!
So she explained the future to the team members. Before the other party was trained to blow her head off, she proposed that she should stay behind, and then asked them to leave quickly with the researchers.
Lian Runing only understood when she saw that Hao Jian didn't get on the helicopter and she was restrained by the guards.
Hao Jian looked up at her for the last time. She knew that she loved Lian Ru Ning very much. In her short life, she had only loved such a girl.
So even though the system has tampered with her memory, when she saw Lian Runing for the first time, there were ripples in her heart. It was not the system that was causing trouble, but that she still remembered her love in her deep consciousness. people.
Hao Jian's superficial consciousness can't remember anything, and she doesn't know anything, but her subconscious and deep consciousness will change her thinking and behavior, so she wants to know if she has the memory of her previous life, what about Lian Runing? Will she be the puppet of the system, or will she be just like herself
Lian Runing hasn't been able to think so much yet, but there is good news from the Science Center. The medicine she used for medical experts to study by Lian Qingmiao has also yielded results.
They all said that the main ingredients of this medicine were no different from other medicines of the same type, but the medicine brought by Lian Ruling produced a more significant effect than the previous formula under certain reactions.
In short, this medicine is more effective than common medicines of the same type.
Lian Runing asked: "It's obviously the same ingredient, why is there a difference in the effect?"
They analyzed that it may be that the production process is different, or the formula is different. The same ingredients, but under the action of different formulas, will produce different medicinal effects.
Experts also want to ask Lian Runing where the medicine comes from. If the same medicine is developed in large quantities, it will be beneficial to everyone without any harm! Even some medicines can be used to improve water quality, adjust soil and so on.
Before waiting for the experts to inquire about Lian Runing, Lian Qingmiao went to her first, so she had to tell her that this was the medicine provided by the "Apostle".
When everyone heard it, it was as if they had discovered a new world: "Oh, I just tried to study blood, hair, and behavior before, but I didn't study anything else, but why did I forget about medicines and materials?"
Lian Runing didn't know why they didn't think of it before, but after thinking about Hao Jian's actions, she understood a little, because most of the items the "Apostle" took out were the same as those produced in reality, and many people would subconsciously know that. I don't think there is any difference between them, so instead of studying them, why not study the secrets of the "Apostles"
They walked into a misunderstanding, Lian Runing would not have thought of this level without Hao Jian's reminder.
In fact, she thought, if you want to know the secret of the "Apostles", you don't have to start with them. As long as you crack the source of these materials, you can start from the side and get closer to the secret
From this conclusion, Lian Runing can basically conclude that the forces behind this world, and even the "Apostles", must be a civilization that exceeds the current world level.
