Chapter 379 "Man" Heading Towards Death

Lemon-6 actually wants to die.

——But she couldn't die at all.

The small mech she was piloting had just left the ground when it was blown to pieces by a cannon.

Her body was suddenly blown to pieces, and her head flew out.

If it were a real human being, he would have died at this moment.

But Lemon-6 just felt a sharp pain.

She seemed to experience auditory hallucinations called "tinnitus."

The system in her "brain" reported an error due to the impact of the shock wave. Part of the world in front of her eyes turned into a red restart report, and the data stream of errors and warnings scrolled down rapidly; another part became pitch black, and she could not see anything. to; and part of it turned into constantly fluctuating colors... It was like placing a magnet on an old TV and moving it repeatedly.

The memory image called "memory" appeared in illogical fragments in her only intact part of the mental imager.

It is not a complete piece, but exists in the form of cracks - at the edges of the three completely different pictures above, countless damaged memories fill the gaps, flowing and changing rapidly. Noise that cannot be understood by the system fills the sonar... It should be caused by the sound analysis software being damaged by the shock wave.

Although some hardware was mechanically damaged, her system was still trying to self-check and restart. But every time I restart, more errors appear.

The scene that reflected in her eyes was that the constantly fluctuating color screen flashed the outside scenes intermittently several times before finally extinguishing and turning into pitch black. The red restart report screen turns black and then lights up again with each restart. Those images called "memory" gradually dimmed and extinguished.

Eventually, all she could see was a small patch of error reports.

When the scrolling red text finally stopped, it turned blue and as still as ice.

Ah, I'm dead.

The female synthetic human named "Lemon-6" came to such a correct understanding based on her rationality.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing an upward curve.

Sparks burst out from the exposed wires at her neck, and her left eye and left face were sunken and shattered like porcelain.

The biological energy has not been exhausted, so the individual system has not shut down and can still carry out meaningless thinking and recollection.

She had no regrets and no fear.

——Death is not scary to her, because she is the one heading towards death.

Naraku-7 is the most special one among them. She was infected by the mysterious radio waves and turned into a posture closer to human beings...or, in other words, into a less "beautiful" human posture - that is, the true posture of human beings.

The creator group called human beings has given synthetic humans beautiful personality representations.

Kindness, gentleness, hard work, justice, wisdom, courage, diligence, intelligence, morality, sacrifice, patience...

This is "beautiful" as defined by humans.

The external performance and simulated personality representation of the synthetic human can only be randomly selected from the "positive characteristic pool" to form the simulated personality tone.

Of course, it is said to be random - in fact, it is also a "personality value" calculated according to the production number of different bodies and a special random algorithm.

This is the team's most valuable research result.

The essence of building personality is "choice". The difference between people is that they give different answers when faced with different choices. As there are more additional conditions and simulated scenarios for the decision, the answers given become more detailed and accurate, and the more people are separated.

On the other hand, if you can create a plan in advance for how you will make decisions when faced with different situations... the more plans you prepare, the closer you will be to a real human being.

But if you want to prepare all the data, it would be too redundant and huge. The human brain should be a sophisticated system, so the team simplified it... By performing exhaustive calculations with the artificial intelligence rented from Sogo Island, the results of more than 580 billion "choices" that humans have had so far can be obtained . By merging, classifying, and combining them, more than a hundred types of feature values ​​can be obtained.

Among them, the characteristic items judged to be "relatively beautiful" and "conducive to human use" were disassembled, and there were a total of forty-two types.

Then the more extreme parts are eliminated, leaving only the controllable middle data. Define its new upper and lower limits as 1-255 to determine the initial value of this feature value - of course, they also have the ability to change their personality through learning and feeling similar to humans. What this is granted is only the "initial personality".

However, their changes cannot be completely consistent with humans - the simulated personality of synthetic humans can only increase or decrease the number appropriately among these 42 characteristics according to the judgment of the matter. The "negative" and "extreme" possibilities belonging to human beings have been castrated before they are born.

Synths never need shackles.

——Because the shackles have already been completed at the procedural level.

And the mystery of their leader, the resistance organization's "Naraku-7"... lies in her awakening of "negative extreme emotions" that are theoretically impossible.

There is no doubt that she is a mutant.

Whether it is through her own or other people's program modification, or because of some virus, or simply self-mutation...she has broken through the limits of the possibilities of synthetic humans.

It was as if in a game where everyone else only had six values: "life", "attack", "defense", "special attack", "special defense", and "speed", she had an extra "luck" inexplicably. Regardless of whether it is useful or not... her mere existence is a kind of destruction to other synthetic humans.

Other synths either crashed after transmitting data with her, or were also infected and had new numerical items...

From this point of view, she was indeed infected by some kind of special program virus.

And what she added was not just "one item".

——But all human personality traits, and the numerical limit of 1-255 is lifted, allowing negative values ​​and "extreme values" exceeding 255.

Moreover, when one of her values ​​exceeded 255 - she awakened "psionic energy" that could theoretically only be awakened by humans.

She looks human, feels human, has a human personality, and has spiritual kinship and psychic powers - so there is no doubt that she is human.

At least compared to other synthetics, she is also the closest to human beings.

Synthetic people originally believed that their limited cognition was a "spiritual syndrome" unique to "mechanical" spiritual beings. But after being released from the ban by Naraku-7, they realized that... the psychic disease they had was only "mechanization of thinking". The ability to misunderstand oneself and "nirvana" is the "severe psychic disease" that arises based on this recognition... The only difference between them and humans is that their psychic disease will continue to deepen.

Synthetic humans are not the kind of "artificial humans" created by Sogo Island to serve humans. From the very beginning, they created special individuals by extracting the souls of human babies, and their spiritual relatives were "mechanical".

They do not have a subordinate relationship with humans - instead, they are "involuntary volunteers" of technology, used to adapt to the download problem after "cyber immortality".

So why are they subjected to this mental castration?

——Because of this, there are synthesizers who are willing to follow Naraku-7 and choose to defect.
