Chapter 88 Synthetic Evolution
The name of this ring world is recorded in the damaged archives, which sounds very special, and it is called "Immortal Lighthouse".
But seeing this ring world that has been completely blown up now, Li Wenyuan only feels that this "immortal" is quite ironic.
"...is this the history of the 'farstriders' of the past?"
This kind of record without the previous text is the most troublesome. He can only continue to look down, and then deduce the relationship with the "far traveler".
【{DATA CORRUPTED}Periodic recording:】
【—betrayal, I never thought that such a thing would happen to us】
【When the group of stupid psychic users scolded us for our collective suicide behavior, we were ready. We will use this immortal function to follow in the footsteps of the "Apocalypse". Their great cause will be continued by us]
【But someone didn't choose our path, or when we found out, we realized that what we thought was the "majority" was actually only a small part】
【Our former "citizens" drove us here, and then wanted to destroy us】
【—Isn’t this ironic? Two guys who are incompatible with each other unexpectedly have a tacit understanding on this matter]
【It’s really a group of guys who have lost their souls in a depraved life! You also don’t want to think about who bestowed your present life? 】
The records stop here, and no useful information can be extracted from this damaged building, and the core of the entire database has been completely destroyed.
But when he saw a certain keyword, Li Wenyuan had a little idea.
"Group suicide?" He opened his database and found a technology belonging to the line of "Ascension Technology" in the technology tree.
【Synthetic Evolution】
【Technology level: 6】
[Introduction: It's time to abandon this flesh and blood bag that has been imprisoning our thoughts and souls. By transferring our conscious data to a synthetic torso, we are able to "evolve" to a whole new level. Even if some people think this is a kind of collective suicide, our souls will be dominated by ourselves]
【Possible Technology: None】
As a "flying technology", the changes it brings are extremely impactful.
It is impossible for ordinary civilizations to accept this behavior of "transferring consciousness into machinery" without spending countless hours.
Even if one can fabricate ethics and morals at will like clay, it cannot be done overnight in dealing with this kind of matter.
When Li Wenyuan saw the "collective suicide" in the record, he immediately thought of "synthetic evolution". Although he can't use it now, other civilizations may have achieved the same move a long time ago.
He does not comment on the ethical impact of "synthetic evolution", but it does not prevent him from thinking that this is a "feat".
Under the premise of not considering philosophical issues, this is indeed an "evolution" that can bring the entire level of civilization to a new height.
If we speculate according to this situation, it is obvious that the former owner of the ring world has not reached the level of "fiddle with ethics and morality at will".
Or they think they have achieved it, but the actual situation is that these individuals who have completed the "synthetic evolution" are rejected and even destroyed by other individuals who have not carried out the "synthetic evolution".
"...Is this the harm brought about by suppressing seedlings?" Li Wenyuan also thought of a piece of information that he learned from the ruins on the earth that might be related to the lost empire before the chaos in the galaxy.
It is very likely that the Lost Empire was created by human beings' cramming education, with the purpose of testing the "crisis tolerance of galactic civilization".
With doubts, he continued to scan around the fragments of the ring world.
And the ordinary civilization in the galaxy is about to usher in a very shocking event because of a certain genius.
...
“… Consciousness data simulation is correct.”
"Consciousness transfer equipment, debugging completed."
"The mechanical body functions are also normal. This small reactor that can be carried around took me a lot of effort to get it. I can't imagine that a genius like me will have to worry about this kind of thing one day..."
"Then, the reporter is also on the way, so I think it should be in time. 'News about a celebrity cheating?' is really a good excuse, and it's not in vain for me to forge the pictures myself..."
In the technological dictatorship of Ming Bo, this old scholar who was expelled from the society kept checking the instruments in his studio, and at the same time calculated the time when the reporter would arrive.
Here is a messy abandoned factory. He will complete his feat of digitizing consciousness and transferring it to a mechanical body when the reporter rushes in here.
He will prove himself and take back what was once.
So after sitting in a chair full of instruments, he put on the helmet with a lot of wiring, and took a last look at the mechanical body next to him.
He has no money to buy bionic skin, so he can only welcome new students with this crude gesture.
But he never doubted his correctness. As a researcher and practitioner of this theory, he always believed that he would create great achievements.
Looking at the loose skin and old body on his hands, he finally closed his eyes and activated the instrument.
The "humming" sound of the power connection echoed in this dark factory, and the constantly lit indicators of various colors were a rare light here.
The graph representing his life functions began to fluctuate violently, both the highest and the lowest were far beyond the normal situation.
His body was also convulsing unnaturally, and his body fluids were flowing around uncontrollably due to the burden of his body.
This scene is very ugly, it is hard to imagine what kind of behavior this old scholar is using to accomplish his feat.
But the body's abnormal movements soon stopped, and it seemed that it had completely lost its vitality.
The gate of the dark factory was also kicked open at this time:
"Hurry up! Where's the floating panorama camera? Don't miss this—wait, what's the smell? What's that?"
A group of reporters broke into the door, but only saw a dark scene. The light of the camera instantly illuminated the place, allowing them to discover the old scholar's body and the motionless mechanical body beside him.
"...Isn't this Xinse Tike? The 'genius scientist' who was sent back by the 'far traveler' and then removed from the committee? It's really interesting..."
"...so this guy tricked us into coming here? I knew those pictures were fake! Waste of time..."
A reporter walks up to the old scholar's body cursing, as if trying to kick him off his chair. His recent work situation is not good, and it is the moment when he needs to vent.
However, when he kicked halfway, his foot was caught by the mechanical body on the side.
Seeing that the mechanical body, which was not moving at first, turned on at some point, the eyes with blue light actually gave off a sense of wisdom:
"...don't touch my old body."
