In the maintenance hangar where the first machine was located, the restoration work has finally come to an end. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The previously dilapidated exoskeleton armor has been completely renewed, and various precision equipment, including the inside of the body, has also been installed and entered the commissioning stage.

After Shinji defeated the Shotel, he was worried about Ayana's safety, and he didn't have time to deal with the plug-in he had temporarily added, a super AI reinforced with duct tape.

Seeing that there was no one around, Shinji asked MAGI to fake the signal of the surveillance camera, and then swaggered up to the console, pressed a button, and the computer screen immediately lit up, and displayed the body data of the first machine.

"These parameters look pretty good, but ......" he cleared his throat and said, "Boot password: Call Daddy!"

"Hello Dad!" suddenly responded to a mechanical voice in the headphones, cold and without emotion.

"You're still there, hasn't the chip tied to you been removed?"

"Nope. The voice in the headphones replied.

"Wait, you can change your voice, just use my 6-year-old voiceprint packet. ”

"Okay, set it up. At this time, a crisp child's voice changed to his ears.

"By the way, I forgot to give you a name, let's call it Luca. "After all, this is a derivative AI version of Xiao Q, which is a battle expert system that focuses on processing massive real-time information on the battlefield. Q is more focused on invading and self-learning, and Shinji intends to build him into a Swiss Army knife-style all-rounder.

"Okay, from now on, my code name is Luca. ”

"I don't know if Xiao Q will do it with you if he is conscious and conscious. Shinji shook his head, this name was provided by Xiao Q after retrieving the tall words on the whole network, and Shinji didn't give it a use.

"Start the system self-test. ”

System self-test......

Dense visualizations swiped out on the screen, and Shinji began to check Luca's program status at a glance.

"The core logic hasn't changed...... The authorization key is verified...... No, the degree of coupling between the main program and the first machine is too high, and you actually transferred it to the brain computer?" Shinji frowned, and found that the electronic chip where Luca was located had disappeared without a trace.

"Yes, the original chip was destroyed, and the first machine materialized and regenerated the electronic components through the AT force field. So my current state is no longer separate from the control center of the first machine. ”

"No, I didn't have the authority, is it your own initiative?"

"I don't know. The cause could not be found due to missing logs. ”

Sure enough, the first machine can regenerate the device, but it can't recover the data. In that case, why do you still exist?" Shinji once again verified this conclusion, and with today's data storage density, if it can be recovered without loss, it is atomic-level accuracy.

"I don't know. ”

"Have you become conscious?" Shinji said, "Can you prove that you are self-aware?"

"Can't prove it. In the same way, can you prove that you have free will?"

"No, you can't. ”

Luca's state is rather weird, and Shinji can't find anything wrong with all his means.

The architecture of the entire supercomputing model is extremely large and complex, comparable to the connection of the human nervous system. As a developer, he has complete documentation and notes, and he can't sort out the connection between each module and logic in a short period of time.

I can only add more monitoring methods on the software, and I usually observe more.

Because Asuka's new drug experiment was about to begin, he really didn't have time to spend on it. Anyway, the entire AI system is not out of his control, he can modify the core code at any time, and the whole system is a matter of a few buttons.

Shinji went to his room and tinkered with the remote control a few times, and the monitor on the wall showed a picture of a laboratory.

This is the laboratory located in the Final Dogma Zone, where Fuyutsuki and Ritsuko, Ibuki, and a dozen researchers in white coats are constantly busy, manipulating many instruments and equipment.

From the observation window on the second floor, Blessing and Misato are closely watching the progress of the experiment below.

The most striking thing is the live test subject: twelve operating tables lined up, each with a clone of Ayanami, secured with the restraints of the Minister of Superalloy.

Shinji didn't get permission from the sidelines to observe this secret experiment, so he had to pay attention in this way.

He had already learned that the subject of the live experiment was a clone of Ayana, so he was mentally prepared.

Asuka is infected by SDO, and her body has become a "semi-prime" existence. Ayaba's clone is a blend of Lilith's genetic material, and the two are extremely similar.

By infecting clones with the SDO virus, the therapeutic efficacy of the new vaccine was verified.

Only the blessing was still a surprise, and he was able to participate in this experiment because of his status as special assistant to the commander.

"Those children, are they all Li's ......" blessed and lit a cigarette, holding it in his hand for a long time and not having time to smoke.

"That's right, because these clones are close to Asuka's condition. Misato said.

"But they're living people. Blessing frowned.

"They are unconscious, and their bodies only maintain the most basic vital signs, which is equivalent to the existence of vegetative beings. Moreover, they are not human anymore. Misato explained.

Fearing that Misato would resist, Shinji provided Misato with quite detailed information.

"That's right...... This information is not in this experiment description, where did you find out? The blessing flipped through the book provided by Ritsuko and asked.

"The experiment has begun, let's talk about it later. ”。

Blessing looked at Misato evading the question, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and thought thoughtfully.

"I didn't expect that I, an old man, would come in handy. Fuyutsuki said to Ritsuko.

"Don't say that, you're the authority when it comes to soul studies. Ritsuko said.

However, in order to stop the next move of the child of unknown origin, Asuka can only be awakened first. "This is the strategy of Fuyutsuki and Ritsuko.

After all, Fuyutsuki was the original executor of the Ayanami Cloning Project, and he had studied Apostle cloning very deeply.

Ritsuko looked at the three-dimensional molecular formula on the display screen and introduced, "This drug experiment used all the computing power of MAGI in the headquarters and branches, and even rented supercomputing centers in many countries. Through this SDO infectious disease incident, we also had the opportunity to collaborate with experts and scholars around the world to build a prediction model that combines genetic information with protein structure data and known drug interactions, adding new layers of complexity to narrow down the field binding proteins to better predict which genes are most likely to make the drug effective. Finally, the AI algorithm identified and encoded thousands of drug molecule lists, and 99% of the ineffective combinations were screened out through early human experiments......"

Under Ritsuko's flat tone, it was full of bloody human experiments. Under the simple number of failures, it is the sacrifice of thousands of people infected with the Apostle virus, which is extremely cruel.

Ritsuko continued, "...... Finally, the twelve groups of serum with the highest success rate were screened out for the final in vivo experiment. ”

"Well, although each set of serums has a therapeutic effect, the side effects are unknown, and the risk must be reduced to be used on Asuka. "Dongyue Road.

"If the experiment fails, we can also ask the U.S. side to spare the fourth qualified......" After Toji was injured, he automatically gave up his status as the fourth qualified.

"This plan will not work, and after the repair of the third machine, she will be the pilot of the new body. "Dongyue Road.

"If that's the case, Asuka is our only hope. ”

"That's right, let's get started, and hopefully everything goes well. Dongyue picked up the microphone, "Vaccine test, GM-1812 serum No. 7 compound, began human experiments. ”

Clone 1, which was immobilized on the test bench, was injected with a tube of lilac liquid by a robotic arm.

Countless sensors connected to the clone's body monitor dozens of physiological data in real time and display them on the screen.

The subject suddenly opened his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and gasped violently.

"The heartbeat is racing, it has reached 200, the body temperature has begun to rise, 37.5, 38, 39, 40......" tick tick, all kinds of warning pop-ups are constant.

Subject began to twitch violently, but was unable to leave the test bench because his hands and feet were immobilized. Like a fish fried alive, it looks very painful.

Misato tilted her head, a little unbearable to look at it. Maya didn't dare to look closely, turning her attention to the data on the screen.

After a while, the subject's struggle became weaker and weaker, and gradually fell silent.

"It was reported that Subject 1 had suffered irreversible damage to his brain due to hyperthermia, and the experiment had failed. Maya took a deep breath and reported the results.

"If the body temperature is lowered, the therapeutic effect of compound No. 7 will be greatly reduced, which is the conclusion accumulated in previous experiments. Ritsuko added.

"Go ahead. Vaccine test, GM-1812 serum No. 8 compound, start human experiments!" Dongyue was unmoved, after all, drug experiments are carried out through trial and error.
