Nolan finally learns the truth about her memories in reincarnation, but this truth is not so pleasant for her.

There is nothing more unacceptable than knowing that the world is a false program than knowing that it is also a product of a program. Although Nolan is far more calm and wise than others, she is also unprepared for this fact.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much," Lily leaned over to the console to enlighten Nolan, "Oh yes, I didn't introduce myself just now - my name is Lily, and I'm here to help you with the 'move' this time." I've heard from the landlord about your world, that humans have been transformed into the virtual world, right? If you think about it this way, they are actually transformed into data, you are also data, and your soul is data, so there is no difference between you. ”

Hao Ren glanced at Lily, this husky can always help when people are unexpected, and her open mind is really adapted to the situation in front of her.

Nolan just smiled when she heard Lily's words: "It's okay, you don't need to educate me, I understand the reason, it's just a little uncomfortable after suddenly knowing my origin." When I first learned about the existence of the real world, I thought about what I was like in reality and what kind of life I lived before I entered the virtual world...... But now it seems that this is really too much to think about, did my life start when the virtual world was turned on? ”

"All the Drom people are on the same starting line, the planet has completely burned down on the physical plane, everyone has only data left, and you are no different from them in this regard," Hao Ren reminded in a loud voice. But I have to admit Nolan's other statements, "However, the absence of a 'past' is really a problem. When the Drom wake up, they recall all of their lives up to the end of their ten-year period in the virtual world, but your memories ...... I'm sorry. The beginnings are indeed 0 and 1. ”

Nolan lowered her head, she couldn't tell what she was thinking from the expression on her face, and after a long time, she finally raised her face: "It doesn't matter, what kind of life is life, at least I'm alive now, it's better than dying at the end of the world." Compared to this...... What will happen to me in the future? ”

Finally mentioning this topic, Hao Ren suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, he shook his body uneasily, and this action was keenly captured by Nolan: "Could it be ...... What else happened to me? ”

"It was to go according to the original plan. You're supposed to be with the other Drom, and when the firstborn reshapes the biome, you can also get new bodies and enter the real world with them, but something went wrong with the process......"

Hao Ren observed Nolan's face as he spoke, and after seeing the latter's calm attitude, he turned his heart aside: "Due to the incompatibility between your data encoding and the drone link, I can only forcibly store you on my spaceship host, and in this storage process, your soul has been damaged to a certain extent, and now the spaceship host has recoded the damaged part, the good news is that you survived, and the bad news is ...... You have become part of this ship. ”

Nolan's eyes were wide open. I didn't seem to understand what that meant.

"In other words, you've gone from the mechanical AI of the Ark of Dreams to the mechanical AI of the Giant Turtle Rock Ship, because your soul is mutilated, and now it's only able to keep it running by calling up the ship's public data. It's like a program that can only run in a specific system environment, and you can't get out of this system now," Hao Ren told the other party as plain as possible. "The situation of defects and complementarities is very complex, and it is difficult to solve this problem without damage by conventional technical means. In order to prevent secondary damage to your soul, I cannot perform stripping surgery on you for the time being. ”

The look of astonishment on Nolan's face faded after more than ten seconds. She looked around uneasily—not in the ship's control room, but in the ship's host, in the orbit of a built-in program, the bizarre world of data. She muttered to herself, "I'm going to be stuck in this place from now on?" ”

"It shouldn't be permanent," Hao Ren told the other party the best-case scenario, "the soul has the ability to repair itself, and this self-repair is more subtle than any human intervention, maybe one day your soul will replenish itself, and then I will be able to separate you from the ship." ”

Nolan quietly listened to Hao Ren's words, but suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question: "Do I also have a soul?" ”

Hao Ren nodded of course: "Of course there is, didn't I say it several times just now, you have a soul." ”

"Oh...... It turns out that AI also has a soul......" Nolan whispered to herself, but since she was only a part of the spaceship's system now, this whispered self-talk was automatically amplified by the ship's main engine, and Hao Ren still heard it clearly.

Nolan seemed to notice this, she frowned awkwardly, and then changed the subject with a smile: "Anyway, it's okay to accept it at this point." But what do I do next? What can I do here? What to do? This empty place...... Has it always been like this? ”

Hao Ren just wanted to speak, but a voice that no one expected suddenly interjected: "I'm curious, why don't you guys think to ask the experts after studying for a long time?" ”

Hao Ren looked back and saw a blue light flying out of the console slot, and the data terminal rushed to the holographic projection and began to shout: "Hey, newcomer!" From now on, we'll be colleagues. No matter how many years of human experience you had before, it had to be cleared from the moment you became a plugin on the host, and today this machine is going to tell you something as an elder......"

Nolan was stunned for a moment by the sudden appearance of the alloy plate bricks: "This is...... What is it? ”

Hao Ren poked the shell of the data terminal and made it flip in the air: "You've seen it, this is Patti - 'she' is like this in the real world." ”

"This machine looks much more handsome than before!" The final brick turned around triumphantly, "Look at the ridge line of the machine, look at the corners of the machine, and look at the sponge treasure on the shell of the machine...... Why is there a SpongeBob SquarePants on the shell of this unit! ”

Lily stepped back half a step to the side: "I'm going to say it's a bat...... You don't seem to believe. ”

Hao Ren looked at the terminal in surprise: "Aren't you unable to see the decals on your shell?" ”

"Can't I suddenly find this function on this machine?" The terminal yelled loudly, and suddenly woke up, "Eh, wait, listen to you...... Damn, do you often put decals on the shell of this machine?! ”

Hao Ren immediately looked at Lily silently: the only one who usually decals the terminal is this brainy husky.

Nolan stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and thought for a long time before remembering who "Patty" was, and the poor blonde girl in his memory did not coincide with the chattering alloy plate brick in front of him: "You turned out to be a ...... What the hell is this? ”

Hao Ren held up the terminal and showed Nolan: "This thing is called a data terminal, and there is one person who does my job, which can be regarded as a work assistant, and it will be sent out in the first month of work." ”

Nolan muttered, "Is this really from work?" ”

The data terminal jumped out of Hao Ren's hand and dangled in front of Nolan's eyes: "Even if you look at it, don't you look like this machine now with smoother lines than the blonde stupid girl before?" And you don't have to worry about AI or not AI after you see this machine, right? This machine looks like this when it comes down from the production line.,It's always been an AI.,You see the machine is still very moisturizing! If it's not a human, it's not a human, and in the future, the machine will have a chance to tell you the benefits of being an AI......"

The data terminal balabala said a lot of things to bluff Nolan into a daze, and Hao Ren patted his head and realized one thing: no matter how much he and Lily persuaded Nolan to look at the point, it was actually useless, and the most useful thing was to let the data terminal show Nolan the superiority of AI. To put it bluntly, there are actually two reasons for Nolan's low mood after he suddenly knows that he is not a person, one is the confusion of his identity, and the other is the loneliness of the sudden arrival.

Now that the terminal is jumping out, she is in company.

And after Nolan finally recovered from the terminal balabala, the first thing he did was to look at Hao Ren, and the look made the latter hairy, Hao Ren scratched his face: "You...... What to see? ”

Nolan looked subtle: "It's nothing, I just think it's incredible, your female companion was a dead man at first, then a senior cerebral thrombosis, and now even a brick altogether...... Has your life always been so exciting? ”

Hao Ren: "...... It's always been so exciting. (To be continued......)
