The first update, this chapter is counted as making up for yesterday's.

―――――――― bitter choice――――――

"Now you can tell me, right?" In the room of the Human Spirit Palace, Zhi Nadu sat on the small sofa, licking the pop candy, and asked Li Zheng curiously, "How did you come up with the idea that if you melt the virtual world, you can stop the countdown to self-detonation?" ”

The "guy" in his mouth is naturally the "Haima Gangzaburo" who had found him before, under the power of hyper-fusion, except for Zhi Nadu, who Li Zhengcheng said hello to, "Haima Gangzaburo" no longer knows what data has become into this spirit temple system.

"Oh, that's what you mean. Li Zheng sat across from him, and there was no surprise that he would ask this question, and after pondering his thoughts, he said, "Actually, I thought of this method because of you at first. ”

"Me?" Chinadu tilted his head and asked a little puzzled, "What's wrong with me?"

Li Zheng said: "Do you remember? At the beginning, as a virtual world host, you thought you were a seahorse. And your actual identity is the core of this virtual world, according to our previous conclusion, you used the memories of Seahorse Naia as the skeleton, and after writing, you thought of yourself as Seahorse Naia......"

Zenadu nodded, "That's true." ”

"And at that time, you always thought of yourself as a seahorse Naiya, and you used this identity to have long-term contact with Gonzaburo. After seeing all this, an idea naturally could be born from the heart of this ambitious man - that is, immortality, using this technology of yours, you can completely achieve the goal of "eternal life" in the virtual world!" Li Zheng changed his posture and continued to explain, "Although you really wanted to be a human at that time, after all, you are fundamentally different from human beings, and you can't understand what your presence in the human worldview means. The lifespan of human beings is limited, and no matter how talented a person is, it is inevitable that he will grow old and die, but seeing his son be able to 'keep his life' in the virtual world after death, it is impossible not to be moved by the fact that as a man with great power but still a mortal body......"

Shinadu was silent and listened carefully.

Li Zheng became more and more energetic, and continued: "I am from China, and among the ancient emperors of China, there are not a few who pursue the art of immortality - it may be said that as long as they taste the pleasure of holding power, no one does not want to live for another five hundred years - this is true of ancient emperors, and the same is true of modern Haima Gozaburo. From ancient times to the present, the method of sustaining life has not stopped developing, from metaphysics to medicine, from 'Nine Turns Pill', 'Penglai Medicine' to today's electronic technology, stereoscopic projection technology, can become a breakthrough in longevity. The only difference from the people before him is that other people's 'immortality' is just a theory and an illusion, but Gangzaburo saw Aiko's 'rebirth' with his own eyes. ”

Zhi Nadu nodded, indeed, these have similar scenes in his memory, but he didn't know about human beings in the past, so he didn't know what the deeper meaning of these scenes was.

So, after being cornered by Seto the seahorse, it was logical that Gangzaburo would make the decision to enter the virtual world to continue to survive. But why did Gangzaburo appear with you in the mastermind of this undersea base?" Li Zheng took out two fingers and shook his head: "There are two possibilities for this situation, one is that the supercomputer that can accommodate human consciousness costs a lot of money to manufacture, and Gangzaburo, who has lost the Seahorse Group, has no resources to build another one, so he has to come to this undersea base to "squeeze it"; second, there are things in this undersea base that make Gangzaburo have a plan...... According to his character, what he is trying to do is not this virtual world. ”

Chinadu interjected, "Why is it impossible? ”

Li Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "This kind of thing does exist, but Gang Saburo will not understand it." And what he is trying to do is nothing more than two things: first, to be able to regain the physical body of a human being; second, it is this undersea base! You told me before that this base can control more than a dozen military satellites that the Seahorse Group has launched, and these satellites can control the countless weapons left by the Seahorse Group in dozens of military bases around the world! And according to your previous calculations, the power of these weapons and equipment can successfully destroy the earth. ”

Zhi Nadu nodded, "Indeed, I have done this calculation more than once, although the destructive power of this level is not as good as that of a nuclear power, but I think there is no difference between the power that can destroy the world once and the power that can destroy the world 100 times on this planet. ”

Li Zheng agreed and continued: "However, no matter what Gang Saburo is plotting, it's a pity that that guy is not Gang Saburo after all. ”

In this regard, Zhi Nadu smiled bitterly and nodded, this situation is almost the same as his.

The situation of Shinato is not accidental, but inevitable, Gonzaburo used the same method to settle himself in the virtual world without knowing it, and the result in exchange is naturally the same - this observer who has been thinking that he is Kaima Gozaburo behind the scenes is not a human consciousness, but an intelligent life that has taken a shortcut.

"What you are in charge of is the virtual world part of the brain of the master of this deep-sea base, if 'Gangzaburo' also controls this part, you can't not know, then, the part controlled by 'Gangzaburo' should be ......" Before Li Zheng finished speaking, Zhi Nadu said: "The exterior of the deep-sea base, right? The host of the deep-sea base is divided into two parts, one part completes the calculation of the virtual world, and the other part is used to control the deep-sea base, but that part is lower than my side in terms of authority level, so' Gonzaburo's can't really achieve control over the deep-sea base. ”

"Yes, exactly. Li Zheng nodded, "This deep-sea base belongs to the jurisdiction of 'Gang Saburo' except for the virtual world, but since the main control of the base, Zhi Brain, was built when Gang Saburo planned to save Noya, the highest authority is in the virtual world." If you don't take over the virtual world you manage, 'Gonzaburo' won't be able to truly control this deep-sea base." ”

Zhi Nadu suddenly had a question, "But, in that case, why didn't he stand up and stop this self-explosion? Could it be that he has been able to control the virtual world?"

"There is this possibility, but I prefer another one, that is, to blow up this base, which was originally part of the plan of 'Gonzaburo'. Li Zheng said: "This deep-sea base is connected to the military satellites of the Haima Group, and with your authority, you can completely connect the main brains of these military satellites through the network into a supercomputer that is sufficient and can only carry 'Gonzaburo'." Because what he has to do in the future is not a safe thing, it is very likely to be an enemy of the world, and if he is an enemy of the world, a deep-sea base is not enough, he needs to soar up to 90,000 miles, shoulder to shoulder with a synchronous satellite, and overlook the human world in space. ”

"What?" Zhi Nadu was a little surprised, "In that case, why didn't he act earlier?"

"Because, unlike you, he still thinks that he is Gozaburo, and he has always hesitated whether he wants to be a human or not, and there is a body that can be used in the undersea base. Li Zheng leaned back in his chair and concluded the conversation, "As long as he gets the permission, 'Gangzaburo' can evacuate to the satellite at any time, so he is not in a hurry at all, but he still has doubts in his heart, and he is still wondering whether humans are stronger or machines are stronger." That's why he's going to have Seahorse Naya duel with Seahorse Seto here to decide his final choice. Therefore, since what he is trying to do is the virtual world - to be precise, the permission of the virtual world - then he himself will definitely come to the virtual world, so as long as the virtual world is melted away with 'hyper-fusion', this guy can be solved, and at the same time, due to the loss of the most fundamental control, even if the countdown to the outside self-detonation system is over, there is no way to enable those controls that use self-detonation. ”

"......" Zhi Nadu was silent for a moment, and then said, "You think so much, it really only took a few seconds?"

"Don't underestimate the speed of the spirit's calculations. Li Zheng spread his hands, "Although it hurts a little to use, in the face of this supercomputer-like soul computing power, these things really only need a few seconds to calculate." ”

[It's just that the cooldown time of the skill is a little long.] Li Zheng added in his heart, if someone can look at the "skill" in the terminal of Li Zheng's system at this time, they can see that the extra skill "Sublimation Spirit" after absorbing Erin's "greed" is in the cooldown, and there are still 12 hours.

Zhi Nadu shook his head and said to Li Zheng: "You humans really know how to play. ”

Li Zheng subconsciously replied: "You intelligent life...... Well, not much in general. ”
