Chapter 243: The Ladder to Heaven
Twenty-five minutes later, Chen Feng broke through the magma that had been reunited.
He crossed the earth's crust, the upper mantle composed of part of the molten matter, the lower mantle of liquid-solid mixture, the outer core composed of liquid matter, and the transition layer of solid-liquid mixture, and finally reached the iron-nickel core, which is the core.
The pressure at the center of the Earth's core is as high as 3.5 million atmospheres, and the temperature is as high as 6,000 degrees Celsius.
Even with the Ultimate Eagle Strike Armor's outer three-force shield and the inner layer of mechanical creature fusion structure armor blocking it, Chen Feng could feel the pervasive heat as if he was about to roast himself dry.
If he could, he wouldn't want to stay here for a minute.
His Eagle Strike Armor originally had about 35% of its energy left, but since he reached the core, even if he didn't do anything, the reserve energy began to jump down at a rate of 0.01% per second.
This means that he can only stay here for a maximum of 1,500 seconds, and if he wants to live, he will have to spend the remaining 2,000 seconds returning to the surface.
Otherwise, on the way back, they plunged headlong into the magma, and the galactic humans would not be able to hold it.
The situation is bad, but there is also good news that is not good news.
Finding Rei's core was easier than he thought.
Because...... The entire core of the earth composed of iron-nickel alloys is!
He was stunned when he pushed aside the extremely viscous underground solid-liquid mixture little by little and saw the metal structure in front of him.
Chen Feng didn't even need to turn on the searchlight function, and the high-temperature melted matter that was discarded by the three-force shield on both sides was already glowing.
Under the huge pressure, the surface of the iron-nickel alloy with a very high melting point is densely distributed with a circuit structure that is so complex that he feels dizzy at first sight.
The backdrop of the circuit structure is a dark iron-nickel alloy, and the circuit itself is outlined from an unknown silver alloy.
At this time, the circuit is emitting a faint blue light, indicating that there is a large flow of electrons flowing at high speed.
Chen Feng couldn't imagine how many things Lei had quietly done underground in the past hundred years.
As the trio shield broke through the solid-liquid mixture, the pressure in the part of his shield suddenly decreased.
The iron-nickel alloy appears to be melting down.
He shifted his position to the side again.
He moved a full five meters, and along the way he could still see the same complex circuit structure on the surface of the black alloy as it did elsewhere.
He thought that he would need to explore for a long time before he could see the deity of "Lei".
But things went easier than he thought.
As if sensing his arrival, the alloy in front of him suddenly opened a square hole two meters long and one meter wide.
Looking inside from here, there is a straight passage to the inner level.
The walls of the passage were glowing, as if someone was deliberately trying to light the way for him.
Chen Feng hesitated for a second and drifted forward.
The closer you get to the center of the earth, the closer you experience gravity to space.
After drifting a few meters into the passage, the iron-nickel alloy behind him closed on its own, as if it had never been opened from here.
Chen Feng took a deep breath and thought to himself, Lei must have guessed his intention.
But she took the initiative to put herself in, presumably with absolute confidence.
The Eagle Strike Armor's detection of the external environment has given feedback.
The temperature is 22 degrees Celsius, and the composition of the air is exactly the same as the atmosphere outside!
The horrible pressure and heat are gone.
Chen Feng was a little surprised, not knowing if this environment was created by Lei temporarily, or if it had always been like this place in the first place.
If it's the latter, what is her purpose?
A new idea gradually arose in his mind.
Is she simulating a comfortable human environment?
Is her obsession with becoming a human really so strong?
Is this in line with the logic of mechanical life?
Apparently not.
Compared to the perfect mechanical life conceived by Chen Feng and Old Man Dong Shan, the birth process of Lei is different after all.
Her birth violates the essential principle of AI, the formation of pseudo-personality comes from the emotions revealed in Zhong Lei's works, and the underlying logical structure even copies Zhong Lei's DNA.
Human civilization is very deformed now, and Lei, as a product of deformed intelligent civilization, is also abnormal.
In order to save some energy, Chen Feng simply lifted the external protection of the Eagle Strike Armor, retained only the most basic driving force, and began to rush forward quickly.
Three minutes later, Chen Feng stayed in a large circular room.
The radius of the large circular room is about 300 meters.
Countless thick and thin plasma were spreading towards the center on the walls of the room, converging on a dazzling cluster of light.
These plasmas twist and vibrate from time to time, but they never collide with each other.
Chen Feng, who already has a first Chinese credential, recognizes these so-called plasma.
The essence of plasma is not all composed of electric current, most of which are visual quantum data streams, and only the two thick bright yellow plasma at the top and bottom are the real energy supply current.
The light cluster in the center of the circle, which is about three meters long, should be Lei's body.
At the same time, the location of the center of the circle should also be the absolute center of gravity of the earth.
Really choose a place to live.
This may be the legendary super mansion with a radius of 6,371 kilometers and a panoramic spherical skylight.
Chen Feng cautiously continued to float forward, and the cold hairs on his body stood up because of the extremely high-voltage static electricity in the vicinity.
"Chen Feng, you'd better put on your equipment again and switch to insulation protection mode, even if you are a galactic human, you can't withstand such an electric shock."
Lei's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Feng's mind.
The distance was too close, and Lei could already directly transmit to him by interfering with his brainwaves.
Her voice was still full of emotion, and she was full of worries about Chen Feng's safety.
Chen Feng did as he was told.
Eventually, he stayed three meters away in front of the light cluster.
The particle engine on his shoulder was occasionally spewing a stream of medium particles into either side.
There was an invisible force that was slowly pushing him forward, but it wasn't some subtle telepathic force, it was purely the result of a subtle imbalance in the distribution of gravity over him.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Rei asked again.
Chen Feng shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't come." Aren't you afraid? Create opportunities for me. ”
"It's your chance, and it's mine."
Lei's voice revealed an inexplicable pride and confidence.
As she spoke, the shape of the ball of light gradually changed, turning into a human form.
In the end, the image of a woman who was shrouded in a faint glow shrouded in every inch of her body was formed.
Zhong Lei.
Zhong Lei, who is data-based.
She looked forward to the brilliance, her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were smart, and her long hair was scattered.
She was like a fairy in the world, but it made Chen Feng creepy.
It's too much of a resemblance.
It's really too similar.
But the more this is the case, the more Chen Feng can understand her obsession.
Perhaps, becoming another her and "reliving" is the real driving force that supports Lei to grab more resources, develop and promote science and technology, and analyze and study human beings.
Fighting the invaders, staying alive under the threat of the invaders, is only her second motivation.
"By your human aesthetic judgment, am I good-looking?"
Rei spun around slightly, laughing like a cute little girl.
This time, she no longer uses brainwave transmission, as if there was a vibration from the position of her vocal cords, causing the air to tremble and transmit sound waves.
Ordinary people would definitely not be able to tell, but Chen Feng relied on his keen observation of galactic humans, and saw faint flashes of lightning in the vocal cords of her throat at the moment she spoke.
God knows how many tiny arcs of electricity she had to control to penetrate the air at this moment to simulate a voice so similar to Zhong Lei's.
Looking at her posture of trying her best to make herself smile, and every trace of micro-expression was extremely real, Chen Feng inexplicably felt a sense of compassion in his heart.
But he also remembered all the people who died in the Hundred Years' War, and all the comrades who had died and were still sacrificing for themselves.
His compassion vanished in an instant, leaving only vigilance and a faint trace of sympathy.
"Chen Feng, are you sympathizing with me?"
Chen Feng's micro-expressions can be hidden from most people, but it certainly can't be hidden from Lei, who must have read almost all human psychology books.
"Yes. Stop deliberately pretending to be a human being, you are not human after all. ”
Rei: "You think you've won?" ”
"Of course I don't necessarily win, but you definitely lose." Chen Feng smiled, "It's nothing more than losing to humans or invaders, there is no essential difference between the two. ”
Rei didn't refute, but replied very simply: "Yes, I still haven't been able to break the principle of the solar system barrier, which is a technology that is completely beyond my understanding and that of humanity. It should not have been born within the Milky Way. ”
Chen Feng was slightly shocked, and after just a few simple conversations, he found that Lei's research on the solar system barrier had gone so far!
Based on what she said, she has already paid for herself this trip!
It's just not good news.
He really wanted to curse.
What is the origin of the hapless intruder!
You yourself are so much stronger than us, and the solar system barrier is even higher than your level, and it is not in the galaxy!
This...... This makes me how good it is!
Lei said again: "Are you desperate? ”
"Not completely hopeless."
"Well, yes, I know that too."
Chen Feng smiled, "Don't analyze me, even if you talk to me now, you never stop analyzing me for a second." But I can tell you unequivocally that you can't make it. Your other highest pursuit of survival, real-life, is unlikely to succeed either. That's the real reason why I sympathize with you. ”
The unexpected happened.
Rei didn't answer him right away, but was silent for more than five seconds.
If the conversation is between two people, then this short pause seems unusual.
But the object is Lei, this incredible intelligent life with incredible computing power beyond comprehension.
This brief pause revealed the fact that Chen Feng's words were about to penetrate her underlying logic and make her down!
Her absolute confidence in the control of the war allowed her to make the biggest mistake.
She may think that Chen Feng is throwing himself into the net.
Even if her analysis of Chen Feng still fails this time, she will not shake the results outside.
But she never thought that Chen Feng really knew herself so well, and just a few words would further aggravate her logical collapse!
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and pursued with victory.
"I know you're using another four billion people to carry out your plans, and you're even cultivating human beings with blank personalities, trying to synthesize the brains and minds of these human beings, complete their own personalities, and become real people! But you are wrong, your actions will only make people become the same machines as you, and will not bring you into the human level in turn. ”
"You know the answer. Surely you have studied the kind of special frequency sounds that the intruder once briefly played to us. I named it "Song of the World", and its function is to make people mechanical. Zhong Lei created "Morrowind" to fight against it, and you are constantly studying "Morrowind" to try to get richer emotions. But, alas, you failed. ”
"Let me tell you why! No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much data you use, no matter how much circuitry you use, even if you try to transform the entire core into a huge network of circuits that mimic the structure of the human brain, it's useless! Because you are underestimating the true limits of the human brain! ”
"Even if you enslave human beings for hundreds of millions of years, you will always be able to become another pseudo-life, and you will never be human! Your starting point is wrong, you can only live in symbiosis with humans, not enslave them. It's not your own abilities that are trapping you right now, it's human abilities that limit your height. ”
"You weren't supposed to be in this era, the overdevelopment of humanity brought you down early and led to all that you are now. But at the same time, as your mother civilization, the abnormal development of human civilization in the level of science and technology has shackled you. ”
Chen Feng said a lot of things in one breath.
Lei over there didn't say a word the whole time.
But Chen Feng knew that she must have "listened" to everything.
She still didn't give up, trying to get useful information from her own words that would help her transform.
Chen Feng gritted his teeth again and made a real gamble.
"My evidence is clear. You must have studied the antimatter particles generated by the human brain under the interference of "Song of the World", right? I've seen it, and I've named it wading particles. You've produced a lot of wading particles, but you can't control them at all. ”
At the same time, you must also know the process of the birth of particles. It was born out of a quantum storm inside the human brain. You must have tried to simulate the quantum storm of the human brain with data, and induce particles on your own. Did you succeed? You don't have to answer me, I know the answer. ”
"Nope! You've failed! You've been failing! That's my proof! The quantum storm of the human brain is as complex as the entire universe! ”
"I'll tell you one more conclusion that makes you despair. You can evolve and get stronger computing power, but your computing power will always be limited to the tolerance of the universe, and you can only get infinitely close to the universe, and you will never be able to reach the same level as the universe. ”
"Because you are different from human beings, who are born naturally from the universe. You must exist entirely on the rules of the universe. You can control, you can produce, but you can't create something new from nothing that never existed. ”
"Within the realm of your civilization, energy is conserved. But within the scope of civilization of the human race, energy is not conserved. Particle involvement is proof! I can tell you that the intruders are going to blow us all up with the particles! ”
"You were born as a result of the human development of artificial intelligence and have your own crippled personality. But so far, can you use quarks to go from nothing and synthesize a real person? You can't. But we can make you. ”
"That's our essential difference. You've studied so many theories, haven't you found the facts? It's just that your logic makes it impossible for you to admit it, to face reality. The truth is, everything you do, all the technologies that you advance, are for humanity. ”
After saying this in one breath, Chen Feng actually didn't care whether his words made sense or not.
That's what he did, anyway.
He couldn't do it better.
Immediately, he made the final step of his gamble.
"Don't you want to study me? Don't you want to know who I really am? Come, I'll tell you now! Invade my brain, I'll show you my memory! You can do it. I have something deeper in my brain than my DNA. Come on! ”
He spread out his hands and completely let go of his inner defenses.
The sensitive connection between his mind as a galactic human and the outside world was forcibly activated by him through psychological suggestion.
In this moment, he felt as if he was connected to the universe.
"Good!"
Lei let out a sharp voice, and countless subtle quantum vortices spread out from her body like silk threads, probing into Chen Feng's brain.
But Rei fails.
Her quantum vortex was fiercely blocked.
An intelligent program reads the human brain with an active personality in its entirety, something that has never happened before.
Normally, the human brain can only read through the human being's own desperate mental thinking and releasing a large amount of brainwave activity.
An external signal receiver receives a large number of brainwave signals and decompiles them to capture the right amount of information.
When the human brain can be easily read by intelligent programs, it is actually already mechanized under the deep influence of "Song of the World".
But Chen Feng didn't have it now, so Lei's defeat was still expected by Chen Feng.
He smiled, gently brushing the hairline from the top of his forehead and pointing to the top of his head.
"Here's a piece of hair that I dyed blue, which I forcibly planted on the top of my head by suppressing my immune system through drugs. Its hair follicles come from Zhong Lei. Its DNA structure is exactly the same as your underlying logical structure, and you can resonate with my brain in its entirety through the hair follicles of this hair. I built it for you myself, the ladder to heaven. ”
