"So, now we finally understand why Ling Yi found so many high-ranking people involved in the fake death case when he was investigating the fake death case. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After all, they have the money, the power, and the capital to support the consciousness upload experiment. Moreover, I believe that the more people are in the top position, the more they are in love with Hongchen, and the more they don't want to die! ”

Aoba was not too surprised by the purpose of the experiment of the brain in vivo research that Dio had told, what really made him care was the deep meaning behind the last few words that Richard said to Dio.

"Dior, I believe that in the world where you lived peacefully, the USR there is also conducting an experiment on consciousness uploading, and it is very likely that it has been successful, right? After all, according to Richard's words, you are not an artificial intelligence written by some programmer, but in fact, you are the product of consciousness uploading, right? ”

In the dormitory where no one else was, Aoba's words made the whole room smell the pins.

Dior is a product of consciousness uploading, he is not an artificial intelligence written by anyone, but really, a person who has lost the shell of his "body"!

I once subconsciously considered this possibility, but I never really took it as a real peace, and for a while, it was as if I had been struck by a thunderbolt, and I was completely stunned.

On the table of the dormitory, Dior, who was told the truth by Aoba, stared at Ping An and nodded solemnly.

"Just now in the USR, I saw some defective products that they got after conducting a consciousness upload experiment. Although the consciousness that has been artificially stripped from my brain is incomplete, by analyzing them, I can clearly distinguish that they are completely different from the artificial intelligence formed by artificial coding. ”

"According to what I just concluded, none of the consciousness upload experiments currently conducted by the USR have been successful. All the defective products that they kept and managed were like the kind of damaged files that were suddenly forcibly removed from the USB flash drive when they were halfway copied. And I, with so many decisive similarities with them, am not complete. After all, if I was born from a successful experiment, then I should remember who I am and where I came from. ”

"......" Dior's words made Ping An feel that his heart was turning upside down, and he didn't know what to say. In the end, after sorting out the myriad things in her mind, she decided to start with the most fundamental problem. "So Dior, do you want to figure out who you are and where you come from?"

"I don't want to." The plush squirrel's head shook decisively from side to side: "At USR, the aggregate data of all the defective products I have seen are regularly divided into two categories. The first category is defective products born due to external causes such as technical defects; On the other hand, there are defective products that are born out of internal causes such as "not wanting to be stripped out of their brains". ”

"The examination of the self made me understand that I wanted to die peacefully and did not want to be a living dead who had lost my body, so I struggled desperately in the process of uploading my consciousness, which was the defective product that was formed. So, since I had decided to die at the beginning, there is no need for me to regain the past that should have been let go with the wind. ”

In the face of Dior's open-mindedness, he only felt for a while that if this kind of thing happened to him, then he would not be able to be as calm as him, and he could accept it so quickly and peacefully, and in the midst of emotional fluctuations, he told him his conjecture about his original identity.

"In my opinion, Dio, you must have been a manipulator when you were alive. You were seriously injured in a battle, and you are about to become a martyr, because your superb manipulation skills and rich combat experience are very valuable resources for human beings, so the decision-making crew members who are not allowed to die will join forces with the USR, and you must be allowed to upload your consciousness. ”

"After all, you see, when we first met, you slept in the imaginary training module inside the military academy, which was the easiest to sneak into and the least easy to find out of all the control cabins on the Hope. Then, when I was a trainee, you were able to provide me with so much guidance and help. ”

"Moreover, whether it is me or Aoba, or Mingguang, who has the same appearance as Aoba, and we who have the characteristics of the Fall King, we all feel very familiar to you. Come to think of it, it should be because of our respective comprehensive strengths, so you feel the difference in familiarity, right? Aoba is better than me, I'm better than Mingguang, that's why you think Aoba is the most familiar, I'm second, and Mingguang is last. ”

"Also, the reason why you have always hated USR so much, I think in addition to the instinct to avoid it, there should also be a reason why you desperately fought against the consciousness upload test in the first place, right?"

"Maybe. But if the truth is what you say, then I think I can understand why I chose death so firmly. ”

Shaking his beard and pursing his lips, Dio, who let out a long sigh, further added: "I have participated in so many battles in my life, and I will not be at peace after death, and I will continue to fight for the human interstellar alliance endlessly. This really fulfills the saying - heroes often die of overwork. ”

Dior's emotion really spoke to the heart of peace. For her, who entered the military academy at the age of six and began to engage in actual combat at the age of nine, according to the current regulations of the Human Interstellar Alliance for retirement at the age of 110, a hundred years of combat career is enough for her to feel tired.

What's more, there are nine times out of ten that life is unsatisfactory, and I believe that in the next 40 years of retirement, my life will not be much happier than the current life. Therefore, I think that a person's life span of 150 years is enough for peace, and I really only want to sleep quietly after death, and I am resolutely unwilling to engage in any masochistic trick of breaking away from the body and gaining eternal life.

At this point in the conversation, the things that should be discussed are basically all over, so when Dio jumped into her photosynthesis machine and said that he wanted to make some adjustments to his mechanical body, he gave him full freedom and peace of space, and stayed at the small table in the dormitory with Aoba and the two of them.

"Okay, now that Dior has left space to us, shouldn't we talk about a topic that is inconvenient for a third person to intervene?"
