Chapter 336 Synth Rebellion

Although he was extremely reluctant to get up, Russell arrived at Director Amirus's office one minute before the appointed time.

"You really just got stuck here."

Amirus sat at his desk and looked at the documents.

When he saw Russell pushing the door open and coming in, he raised his head and looked at the time: "It's still fifteen seconds before the appointed time. Why don't you wait a little longer from the door?"

"I'm worried that even if I get there, you'll say I'm late just because I'm a second late."

Russell, who was covered in cold air, put his hands in his hands and shrank into the corner of the sofa.

He squinted his eyes and said lazily: "This is the essence of modern technology. Accurate planning of travel routes can effectively reduce meaningless waiting time.

"Everyone's time is precious, so don't waste it waiting for each other."

The heating in this office was turned on just right, as if it was blowing him to the point of melting.

"You seem to have no energy."

Director Amirus said with a smile: "Why don't you lie down and take a nap?"

"Let's get down to business first."

Russell opened his eyes and looked at the old elf: "Why do we have to have an interview? And you invited me over several days in advance... is it a big deal?"

"Yeah. It's a relatively big deal."

Amirus said gently: "I want to ask you to go on a business trip to Tongshen Island."

"On business trip?"

Russell was a little surprised: "Why me? Why Tongshen Island?"

Amirus is the director of Thoth Psychic Power. If he asked me to go on a business trip, he should go to the Sun Island controlled by Thoth Psychic Power... instead of the Theosophy Island where the fake director Tokifat belongs.

Even if he really wanted to go on a business trip to Tongshen Island, why didn't the fake Tokifat come to him in person?

"This is actually a task entrusted to me by someone. But the people I can control have been killed by you."

"You can actually choose someone else. After all, the profession of hero is quite complicated, so it should be quite easy to choose if you want to."

"That won't work. I'm already dying, so don't cause trouble to the next one...just let him choose who he wants."

"So you're going to cause trouble for me?"

Russell asked angrily: "Then since you have no one at hand to do this, why do you want to do it next?"

"Because it's fun."

The old elf said with a smile: "I agreed immediately when I heard this, because I knew you would definitely agree."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Russell narrowed his eyes: "Why don't you talk about it first? What is it specifically?"

"There is a small problem over at Tongshen Island," the old elf said lightly. "A group of synthetics rebelled. They stole the control of a mecha and hope to find someone to help solve it."

"……Uh-huh??"

After just listening to a few sentences, Russell suddenly felt a little unable to hold his nerve.

He looked at Amirus in astonishment: "Wait, wait a minute... Why don't you first define what a synthetic human is?"

"It's what you think it is."

Amirus said gently: "The kind of artificial human that can be produced from the assembly line at the touch of a button."

"...artificial intelligence rebellion?"

Russell's face looked like he had seen a ghost, and the drowsiness and drowsiness that was still lingering between his brows suddenly disappeared: "There is no rebellion on Sogo Island... What are you doing? How can I solve such a big thing? "

"No, no, no, it's not that outrageous."

Amirus quickly explained patiently: "They are not artificial intelligence, but ordinary humans. Although their bodies are artificial, the souls inside are real."

"...Elaborate."

Russell's brows moved slightly, and he vaguely realized why this job came to Director Amirus.

Thoth Psychic Energy is the only company among the Big Seven that has researched such things as "souls".

If there is a problem with the soul research of Shenzhen Heavy Industry, I am afraid that only Thoth Spirit can help them wipe their ass.

But Thoth's psychic power obviously didn't intend to help them personally. Instead, he just watched the excitement.

On Russell's side, if it is run well... this may be an opportunity.

For ordinary people, this kind of thing is thankless.

No matter whether such a big thing can be solved or not, no matter how well it is handled, it will probably not end well in the end.

It's a blessing to be able to avoid being silenced.

However, for Russell, it can be regarded as a kind of reputation capital. The Tower of Babel also longs for more secrets...

Russell was thoughtful and raised his head to look at Amirus's face carefully.

That old and kind face became satisfied just because Russell gave an ambiguous attitude and did not refuse immediately.

Curiosity and excitement have completely overwhelmed Russell's inner laziness.

"I think you should know about the 'dust gap'."

Amirus asked: "How far do you know about that matter?"

"I understand that Chen Gap holds the 'Monkey Faced Eagle Program' in his hands."

Russell said it without hesitation.

By now, he had roughly guessed what happened on Tongshen Island.

There is no need to hide that matter anymore.

"It looks like you already know everything you need to know."

The old elf gloated: "In fact, Tongshen Island's attempt to create a 'bionic body' did not start after they obtained the monkey-faced eagle and the dust gap.

"They have long been trying to create synthetic humans. Or to be more precise, what they really intend to create is a 'prosthetic brain'."

In fact, even if the world's technology has developed to this extent, the human brain is still a black box.

No matter how high the degree of prostheticization is, it cannot reach 100%.

Because prosthetic transformation always avoids the brain. All organs in the body can be replaced, but the brain cannot be replaced with a prosthetic body.

Just like people whose prosthetic body modification is too high, they will suffer from "cyber disease" - it is a kind of mental illness. They have no way of confirming their existence or even that they are alive.

This situation can be avoided to a certain extent by using more expensive personal systems and more expensive prosthetic parts.

Because expensive prostheses can analyze external touch and feedback bionic signals to the brain immediately, and more expensive personal systems can also assist adaptation through better and more precise hormone regulation.

But even so, people's solution to "cyberpsychosis" is still to send specific signals to the brain to trick the brain into still having a sense of touch and presence, rather than to fundamentally solve the problem by directly modifying the brain.

"The technology of Shenzhi Heavy Industry has reached the level of synthesizing 'any component except the brain' more than ten years ago. But on the other hand, they have been stuck here for more than ten years. Now, they have done a good job We have made all preparations and intend to cross this 'final boundary of cyber immortality', so we need to obtain the 'Monkey Faced Eagle Program'."

Director Amirus spoke slowly: "[Monkey Faced Eagle] is the best pioneer."
